McConell & Company Have Net Ob-
 tained Concessi6a from Cesta Ricn.
 Washington. Jan. 15.--Mr. Calvo. the Costa Rican minister. today made a statement regarding the despatch from Mobile, Ala, saying that the American Banana Company, through H. l.. Mo- Cornell, had asked the state depart ment to intervene in his behalf on &C., count of the alleged interference by the Costa Rican government with tho company's operation in the territory now belonging to Panama but at one time under the Jurisdiction of Costa Rica. The company asked damages in the sum of S2.210,00o.
 MT. Calvo said:
 The despatch does not explain where the company obtained a lawful right to any part of the territory mentioned. Colombia always recog- nized the Jurisdiction of Costa Rica thereon. Even if the claimant claims that 1t has obtained tho right from Colombia. it is we'll known that under the laws of that republic no conccs- sion of this nature is valid unless rat- flied by the national congress and no congress at Bogota has ever granted such concession. If It Is conceded the concession was granted by Panama. the government of the republic denies the existence of the alleged concession and has explicitly declared by resolu- tion No. 2S of the department of gov renment and foreign relations. dated August 2, and. officially proclaimed that .Gandoka, has been and will con- tinue to be within the jurisdiction of Costa Rica, as long as the boundary between the two countries is not final- ly settled.
 Where. then. do the alleged con- sessions come from? The Gandolxa re- zion Is under Costa Rican sovereignty and no person or company can invoke ownership, possession or usufract in the lands except upon some title ema- mating from the Costa Rican govern ment and no concession of any kind has ever been made by the same to Mir. Mcconnell or his assistants.''

CosSackS Break Limits of
 War Zone.
JAPAN TO PROTEST ITSELF
Extension of Belligerent Terri
 tory is Expected.
h Tokio It Is Regarded that Russia Alone fs Responsible for the Step--Conditions at 
 Port Arthur.

Tokio, Jan. 15.--G p. m )-Later re- ports from Newchwsng indicate that General Mestchenko's Cossacks. in their recent raiding southwest of Liaoyang, deliberately invaded neutral territory and broke the limits of the war gone.
 The reported Russian note to tho powers calling attention to Chinas non-enforcement of neutrality is re- garded here in some quarters as ab- surd. It is felt that China's weakness and constant failure to enforce neu- trality must release the Japanese from obligation to observe restrictions which Russia has openly ignored.
 While the extension of belligerent territory is to be regretted it is felt that Japan must take steps to protect itself against the repetition of raiding expeditions whose success depends on the violation of neutral territory.

The tone of dispatches from some Russian correspondents vaguely hint at very important developments and the mili- tary expert of the Noyoe Vremya ex- presses the opinion that the long calm since the battle of Shakhc is about to be broken. It is also noteworthy that there have been no official dispatches from General KuropatkIn for two days.

and that the chances were he'd never
have to go anywhere else to live as
long as ne wanted to stay there.
OF course, Uncle Sam did not invite
these lads to come and stay at his
house in ijleness. Every single boy
that went there had some especial
work to do about the house or in the
gardens or somewhere. There was
Teddy, for instance, who, as have al
ready told you, was the biggest boy in
the place. His duty was to look after
Uncle Sans big chair, a piece of fur
niture of which the old gentleman was
properly very proud. Teddy had to see
that it was kept free from dust, that it
great gilded arms were properly polish
ed, and that it never got so Wobbly in
the legs as to make it uncomfortable
for Uncle Sam to sit in. Then there
was Billieboy, great, big, smiling
cnap who had charge of the armory,
and saw to it that the guns and swords
and breastplates and other such things
were kept in apple pie order. And af-
ter him was little Paul. who always
wore beautiful sailors costume and
could sing rollicking sea songs and
paddle across the lake without being
seasick. He had charge of Uncle
Sans rowboats, saw that they were
baled out every morning and the leaks
calked up, that the oars were in good
condition, and that the boatment kept
civil tongues in their heads and things
like that. These, with other boys, like
Corty, who looked after Uncle Sans
postage stamp collection, and droll lit
tie Secky Pshaw, who had charge of
Uncle Sans wonderful collection of
coins; all had something to do to keep
them from that idleness which breedeth
mischief. And so, of course, when jim
mieboy went to live with him he had to
look after something too, and the thing
they gave him to take care of was a
great big bureau in the draws of which
Uncle Sam kept great many valuable
things. Some of the people who did
not know Jimmieboy said it was a
pretty large bureau for such a little
fellow to look after, but Jimmieboy,
who came from Ohio, was full of ambi-
ton and simply laughed when any of
his critics suggested that he had mis-
hands full. Just try me once, and
you'll see," he said bravely, and Teddy,
who as matter of fact got him invited
there, gave his head a shake and said
that Jimmieboy was all right and that
he'd lick anybody who said he wasn't.
He added that if at any time Jimmie
boy found that ne couldn't polish the
knobs properly or keep the swell front
of the bureau shining as brightly as a
Drank new penny, he'd take off his coat
and help him tackle the job himself,
and SO everybody was satisfied, for
they mad great confidence in Teddy's
ability to carry things through with the
bells on, as the boys in Uncle Sans
house put it.
And SO it happened that one fine day
Jimmieboy found himself comfortably

your eight cents and I'll let you into
Trustland. where by wise investment
you can double it in a minute without
letting go of the original"
What is Trustland," said Jimmie
boy.

But how can l." demanded Jimmie
boy, you're only a picture"

asked the Cerberus. IF you want to
go into a house all you have to do is
to step over the mat and go in
'Well?" inquired Jimmieboy.
We'll, similarly all you've got to do
to get into a picture is to step over
the mat and go in, stupid" explained
Cerberus Fork out your eight cents
and come along.
Whereupon Jimmieboy stepped over
the mat on which the picture was
mounted and within another moment
found himself within the arch and in
the wonderful country of Trustland.
No sooner was ne within than the
great gates changed behind him, and
the Cerberus locked them.
Why do you do that?" demanded
Jimmieboy, nervously.
"Once started, my little man." said
the Cerberus, there's no turning back.
So make yourself perfectly at home.
That's the difference between an in
vestigate and an old gate
And so it happened that Jimmieboy
found himself committed to most
eventful journey.
