AaxIce to Americans.

Rider Haggard. the English novelist travelled about 1000 miles in his tour of this country trying to find land for colonies of Englishmen. He has been impressed by the menance or the yellow man. He foresees 100000, 900 Chinamen, trained in the industries and with countless warships, seeking a home in the United States. regardless of our pdotests-for in his vision the American people have lost their vigor and efficiency by crowding into the cities. Back to the land your people must go," he says; they must be helped to get there. Else Will the Chinese needless of the dimlnished numbers of enfeebled city people, seize upon the land" Mir. Haggard's views on what he saw will be embodied in government report.

Rnilwar DeIernten Shocked.

Washington, May 11.-(Speciah)-The frightful accident on the Pennsylvania Railroad this morning has been rude shock to the foreigners who have been here attending the International Rail- way Congress and looking at the expo sition of American railway appliances. They have been talking about it all day.
 It was particularly interesting to them because they have an invitation to go on an inspection trip over the Penn sylvania system. The horror of the thing had soon to wear away. because it was one of those inscrutable calami- ties for which the serenest mind must at all times be prepared. The wreck was on one of the most perpectly -equipz ped railroads in the world. with four tracks for the main line and every one up-to date in every possible equipment for safety and comfort.
 The delegates to the railway con gress are due to go over the scene where the wreck occurred early next week.

France,a Reply.


 Paris, May 11.-A semi-official state ment from high sources was published today giving Frances position in reply to Japan's charges to breaches of neu- trality. One of the headings is:
 Japan has done in the Philippines and Dutch East Indies the same as she accuses France of doing in Indo- China"
 The conclusions are set forth as be- ing:
 CD The French neutrality regula- tions were not established for the pres ent war but existed previously without protest from Japan. (2) France has exercised her sovereign ty to fulfill the fegula~ ions not only to the full letter, but has also adopted special measures to main tain absolute impartiality. 8. The only direct purchases of coal by the Rus sians were at Algiers, where the quan- tity was insignificant. The main stock or coal was purchased in Germany and England without protest. I. Any ad- vantages which the Russian second Pacific squadron obtained by anchor ing off the French coast was equally open to the Japanese if they had taken the offensive instead of awaiting the Russians.

Organized Massacre.

St. Petersburg, May 1.-The Novosti (the Jewish organ) claims to nave in- formation showing that the massacre of Jews at Zhitomir was regularly or- ganized while the Syn Otchesteva says Jewesses were assaulted during the at tacks made upon the Israelites at GostFnin.
 The government papers are not per mitted to print details of the recent at tacks on Jews.
 At the ministry of the interior no de- tailed reports of tne rioting at Zhito- nor had been received up to o'clock this evening. A brief despatch an nounced that the published reports were exaggerated and added that all was quiet there today and that the To- cal authorities had carried out the in structions sent by Interior Minister Bouligan to maintain order. Troops have been brought to Zhitomir from Vassilki and notice had been given that if any further attempt was made to molest the Jews the soldiers would fire on those causing the disturbance.
 The minister of the interior says that a special circular was issued to the governors April 23, in view of the propaganda spread by the so-calied Monarchist Party against the educated Jews and other classes accused of stirring up revolt and revolution, in structing the governors to take special precautions to prevent class or race strife.

BEEF TRUST INVESTIGATION.
Witnesses Are Examined Before The
Special Grand Jury.

Chicago, March 25.-Twelve out-of-
town witnesses. supposed to be men
employed by various packing firms
and retail meat dealers, have thus far
testified before the special grand jury
which is hearing evidence against the
so-called beef trust.
Although the censorship against
any publicity of what transpires in the
jury room is as strict as on the first
day of the investigation, and wit
nesses have been so thoroughly coach
ed that they fear to make their names
public, it was learned tonight that
during almost all of the days sessions
District Attorney Morrison sought evil
dence concerning the price retail
dealers in meats were forced to pay
the packers, and the price some of
the packing concerns have been pay
ing the cattle raisers for beef on the
boof. The three most important wit
nesses before today along this line
were w. c. Howe, general manager
for Armour e Co.. at Omaha, and w.
c. Kelly, retail meat dealer at Cedar
Rapids, Ia. and Robert Hall, in the
same business in Kansas City. Kelly
and Hall will continue their evidence
tomorrow.

He Seems Anxious TO End The War In
Far East.
is CONSIDERED A WISE PLAN,
Cars Court decided That to Main
tain War Any Longer Would Be
UnWise-Waehingto Not Surprls-
ed at Developments.

st. Petersburg, March 25. - The
ministers and supporters of the court
who advocate the submission of pa
cific proposals to Japan as previously
set forth in these dispatches so as to
ascertain whether an honorable basis
of peace is possible have carried the
day and the Associated Press hears
on high authority that an actual step
Is imminent if not already taken.
Washington, March rs. - The sud
den growth of the sentiment in Rus
sian circles in favor of peace is not
at all surprising to the officials here
because it is in line with the predic-
\ tons of the American embassy in st.
Petersburg when last heard from on
this subject. In fact, it was gathered
that the real obstacle in the way OF
beginning negotiations to this end
was to be found rather in the Jeal-
ousies of European powers outside OF
Russia than in the cars own court.
There has for some time been sub
stantial evidence that by the eXecu-
ton of quiet pressure from the out
side upon the st. Petersburg govern
ment, it might be induced to break
the deadlock in the situation which
results from the reluctance of each
beligerant as a matter of pride, 10
making the first ovcrtures for peace,
but just at this point the efforts OF the
real friends of peace are said to have
been negatived by the fear of some
of the European powers that their
interests might suffer in a settlement
which they did not themselves ar
range
There is reason to believe now,
however, that the great financial in
terests of London, Berlin and Paris,
looking to their salvation and the Sc
curity of their enormous Russian
leans, have risen above national lines
and that to the eXertion of their pow
erful influence is due the promise OF
peace in the near future.

Denver, March 26-At meeting of

strike in the Globe and Grant smelt-

vote. The passage of the eight-hour
law recently by the legislature influ-

which says that all men coming in

only eight hours can be interpreted to
include all smelter men, for the rea-

EXPLORER INTERVIEWED.
Says Situation In Norway and SWed-i
en- Is Graver Than Understood.

London, March 26-Dr. Nansen, the
Arctic explorer, who is making a
short stay in London to discuss scien-
tific matters with the Royal Geog-
raphical society, being interviewed on
the consular difficulty between Nor
way and Sweden, said that the situa-
ton was graver than is generally I'M
derstood abroad, and that there was
very serious danger to the union
If Sweden persisted in refusing Nor
ways undisputed rights. Then eX-
planning the history Of the dispute in
sular question involved a test as to
whether Sweden was prepared hon
estly and honorably to carry out the
treaty Of union or whether Norway
was to become a mere Swedish de-
tendency. Owing to the fact that
Sweden is protectionist and Norway
free trade, and because of Norway's
more extensive sea trade and other
Emergencies of commercial interests,
DR.. hansen said it was absolutely es-
sential for Norway to have her own
consular service; but since Sweden's
breach of faith in her failure to carry
out the agreement on the subject ar
ranged in 1902, the Norwegians were
reluctantly driven to the conclusion
that it was useless to enter into fur
Their negotiations.
We wish the union maintained, -
DR.. Nansen continued, but it must
be on the unalterable foundation of
equal rights of both states. No gov
eminent that can possibly come into
power in Norway will adopt any other
policy. -
In conclusion DR.. hansen emphati-
cally denied the rumors that Norway
would offer territorial or other conces-
sions, with a view to obtaining Rus
sian aid in the unhappy dispute, and
declared that was the last thing in the
world Norwegians would dream of
asking
