An Inspired Statement,

st. Petersburg, July 2O.-The Novoe
Vremya today prints the following
statement of Russias position, which
may be inspired:
Russia can consent only to such
peace as will not affect the dignity
or vital interests of the empire. To
act otherwise would be fatal to Rus.
STA and would threaten all Europe
Europe no longer relieves in Japan S
assurances that she will not restrict
European interests in the far east
Even in England and America the
voices of moral instigators can be
heard in favor of the indirect influ'
ence of the powers to moderate Jap
ans demands. Our plenipotentiaries
must remember that they must defend
the interests, not of Russia, but also
of the other Caucasian powers, and
they will find moral support in Der
lin, Paris, Washington and perhaps
even ir London. Our army in the
field is much stronger than it was Is
months ago.
"The Hamburger Nachruckten pro
poses that Europe intimate to Japan
that extreme demands will be resist
! ed by Europe in general, especially
/ Germany. This is a valuable state
ment. We must ascertain the accep
table maximum of our concessions or
the part of the European point Of
| view and act accordingly"

GOING A STEP TOO EAR.

Since the days of Dennis Kearney
"the sand lot orator." the Pacific
coast has been strenuously opposed
to Chinese immigration. That being
true the action of the Portland Cham.
Der of Commerce on this question Is
somewhat surprising. The Pacific
coast trade with China has grown
rapidly in the past few years and
it is this fact and the danger of los
ing it that alarms the commercial
interests of Portland and other coast
cities.
But in its appeal to the president
asking for new treaty with China
the Portland organization has gone
too far. 1t was we'll enough to ask
for treaty that shall provide fol
the removal of the eXacting condi
lions that now attach to the entrance
into this country of their merchants
students and professional men. for tht
absolute freedom of all Chinese resi-
dents of this country to visit thei
own land and return here" if there
is need of such treaty. But whe,
it goes farther and asks for the lad
mission during the next ten year
of number of male Chinese labor
ers that in any one year shall no
exceed one-tenth of one per cent o
the population of this country" it i
asking for something not in accor
with the prevailing sentiment of tn
country, and for that matter with til
Pacific coast itself outside of con
mercial bodies.
Unquestionably this country want
the trade of the orient and should d
all within reason to maintain and d.
yelop it, but it cannot go so far as {
negotiate treaties that will open tn
door to Chinese laborers and coolie!
And it is not deemed necessary i
order to secure the trade of tina
country.
Indignities and personal hardship
have been imposed upon Chiname

The Prospector.

Prospecting is one of the most fas
cinating occupations ever followed by
man. The prospector is by all odds
the most independent of men. Like
the prospector the hunter, the explor-
err, he has been able to throw off
many of the shackles of civilization.
While civilized life is after all the
most desirable form of existence, it
imposes on most of us abject slavery.
Some people would starve to death If
they were removed from the vicinity
of a hotel or restaurant. They have
become so used to the exchanging of
ready money for the convenience of
existence that the rough and ready
life of the prospector would involve
actual suffering to most people.
The prospector is the connectin 6
link between the secrets Of nature and
the developing touch of capital. To
the average human being the life OF
the man who spends his days in the
lonely hills enjoying but a few of the
comforts of existence, is almost trag-
ic. Yet he would resent any such
sentiment as pity. He is buoyed up
by an unfaltering hope. 1t may be that
luC veal SCdiCl Will 81 Ou LII yCul :
without result, but the genuine pros
pectOr is not one who despairs.
1t is one of the peculiar features Of
this prospecting for the precious met
ais that the work is left largely to
chance, aided by the native shrewd
ness and intelligence of the prospec
tor himself. Silence has shed hel
beams on the agricultural industry
Mining, once the ore is found, is usu
ally carried on in scientific manner
but the actual location of all sorts o.
metals in the breast of Mother Eartt
is guided largely by chance and luck
It is quite true that once the min
eral formations of certain region arr
known that sound geologic knowledge
comes into play in the opening up o
new mines, but no one will pretend
to say that it was anything but blink
luck that led to the discovery of an.
of the great mining camps of thu
state. Leadville included.
A national bureau of prospectin:
has been suggested. The idea is tina
this bureau would send out its eX
perts to search for hidden treasure
of gold and silver and other valuable
minerals.
Most people would not take kindl
to the government entering the pros
pect field. Such a bureau would or
ly open new foundation of graft an
swindling. because if the bureau dis
covered mine it would be quite Gel
tain to appropriate 1t.
At present the world will have t
rely on the plain, everyday, ordinar
prospector for it's new mines. TIL

ing the humble role of the prospecto
Not many are likely to enter tn
ranks. 1t is a life of hardship an

certain. The average prospector, how
ever, is usually man of keen INTEL
gence. He knows the ordinary SYM

The substitution of NJ White for
Count Muranieff as chief envoy for
Russia in the approaching peace
conference is looked upon with great
favor in high diplomatic circles. NJ.
White is regarded as one of Russia S
ablest men. The selection of Baron
Rosen and Witte, both of whom were
opposed to the war, adds to the pros
poets of a permanent settlement be-
tween Russia and Japan. although NJ
Witte has recently stated that the
war would be prolonged indefinitely
before Russia would accept harsh

THE INVITATION TO ADMIRAL
TOGO

New York is making preliminary
plans to celebrate in 1907 the CEN
tenary of the use of steam IN navisa-
ton. The committee of arrange
ments has decided to invite Admiral
Togo to visit the harbor of New
York in his flagship at that time.
The United States would be delight.
ed to welcome Admiral Togo at any
time or upon any occasion when he
could be induced to come. The ap-
preaching celebration is, however,
peculiarly fitting to receive him.
Without steam the modern art Of naval
war would be far different from what
it is. Togo is the greatest captain
of sea fighting in the age of steam.
as Nelson was the greatest in the
age of sails.
1t was on Aug. Z, 1907. that Full
tons Clermont was started on her
trial trip from New York. She went
10 miles up the Hudson and a day
later proceeded to Albany Her retrun
trip to New York was made at an
average speed of five miles an hour,
and the doubling world was dazzled
and convinced. A month later a reg
ular service between New York and
Albany was begun.
This was not, indeed the begin
ming of steam navigation, but it was
the beginning of steam navigation as
a commercial success. For several
decades previously experiments had
been carried on. 1t is curious fact
that in 1907 exactly 100 years before
the day of the Clermont. a French
man, Papin, propelled boat by steam
on the River Fulda. Papin actually
did invent certain forms of steam
pumps, and he built boat with pad
die wheels and used his pumps and
little interior water wheel to turn
the paddles. Though nothing came
of his boat, 1907 will be not only a
centenary, but in different way a
bi-centenary in the history of steam
navigation.
The first steam war vessel was Full
tons Demogos. built for the United
States in 1913, and this vessel, OF
rather floating battery, was also the
first ocean-going steamer The Unit
ed States did not, however. build 4
steam man-ofwar till 1887. Our frs,
screw war vessel was built in 1912
New York was the scene Of sc
much of the early history of steam
navigation that she can properly
claim the privilege of holding the cele
bration. Togo will have such an i'm
portant place in the history of one
branch of the application of steam
power at sea that there would b.
great reason to regret if he should b,
unable to accept the invitation ea
tended to him.-Chicago-Re Her

RYAN IS OUT OF IT.

The Equitable Life Assurance soci-
ETY. issued a circular last week stat
ing that Thomas F. Ryan, who re-
Gently purchased the stock holdings
of James H. Hyde. would sell his
stock back to the company for the
same price he paid for it, $2,5OO,OOO
plus per cent interest between the
dates of his purchase and the sale.
Later news is to the effect that the
transfer has been made. This Ryan
purchase was looked upon as one
bad feature in the readjustment and
cleansing process now going on in the
affairs of the Equitable. Ryan is a
noted Wall street plunger and promot-
err and his possession of the Hyde
stock was taken to mean that he
wanted to get next to the Society's
large surplus and use it for specu.
lative purposes. But in selling his
stock back to the society Mr.. Ryan
G'sclaims anything but the best of
motives. stating that he had made
the purchase of the stocks with no
expectation of profit, and to solve a
difficult situation; and that he was
determined to convince the public
that he was acting in the interest
of the policy holders. Possibly Mr..
Ryan is not so black as he has been
painted. In any event the transfer
will please policy holders and go a
good ways in restoring the Equitable
in the confidence of the public.
The new blood infused into the so
, ciety is getting in its work. The
aim will be to bring about thorough
naturalization as quickly as possible
Salaries are being reduced and man!

Standard Oil Profits,

1t is stated that the developments of
the Standard Oil in 20 years aggregat-
es the sum of $429, 100000. Beginning
with some $3,0OO,0OO they reached $751;
100000 in 1904. To the layman, at
first blush this looks startling. 1t is
an object lesson of concentrated pro-
fits. perfected from an immense bus
mess, employing an immense capital,
with many stockholders. This includ-
es no doubt the many profits from
thousands of wells drilled. 1t would
be interesting to know how much this
unknown quantity figures in this ag-
gregate, and how much from refining
and marketing the product. The form
err nobody grudges. Taking into con.
sideration the vast quantity of oil mar
keted by the Standard in 20 years, a
fair estimate of quantity, multiplied by
three cents a gallon, including oil
produced as we'll as purchased. it
would easily roll up to this amount
Considering the thousands of wells
| drilled, the costly plants, expense OF
refining and delivering the product
such margin is remarkable. The peo
pie cannot complain at the service rem
| dered. Without such organized at
tack of the oil situation, ramifyins ev
cry quarter of the globe, the consum
ers might possibly have paid tha
much more for the light and lubrica
| ton.
| At one time crude fell to so cent:
a barrel in Pennsylvania. Stocks hat
accumulated at an alarming rate. TIN
Standard combined with other produc
ers to curtail the product by shuttin:
down many wells. With the immens
stock of crude carried by the Standard
an advance of cent gallon on tn
refined, brought millions to tn
Standard as we'll as to the many 9th
er producers. In the last ten year
crude oil has steadily advanced, whic'
accounts for much of the increasin
dividends of the monopoly. Henr
Clews credits the Standard with OWL
ing three-fourths of the productio
and refining capacity of the Unite
States. With such a grip on the il
dustry aggregate profits must roll Il
to an immense figure legitimately.-
