for government supplies will be re-
qulred even after the conclusion of
hostilities.
Coupled with the announcement of
resumption of the loan negotiations
came a strong intimation from official
ana diplomatic quarters that steps
looking toward peace had been definite

WASHINGTON, March 24.-While

placed by Paris on the significance of
the resumption of the negotiations of
the Russian loan, European diplomats
who were seen tonight confessed that
they at first were inclined to regard
this step as further confirmation Of
official news which has reached here
within the last twenty-four hours that
the emperor is resolutely determined
TO continue the war for the present If
Paris hnanciers, as reported, have de-
cllned TO take up the loan save on con-
dltlon that the proceeds. shall not go
toward the war fund.- official Washing

embassy, believes that this important
fact marks the beginning of peace me-

Russian Troops Very Tired
GUNSHU PASS, March 24.-The
Russian retreat has now reached the
village of Sipinghai. seventy-four
miles north Of Tie pass, where it has
temporarily halted. The. army has
been practically without rest for
months, and it is natural that fatigue
should be evident. The Japanese are
reported TO be advancing on Sipinghai
positions along the railroad and on
both fianks.
A brisk action occurred on the even
ing of March Is at Kaiyuan, the Rus
sian rear guard beating off two heavy
attacks which lasted until midnight
After blowing up railroad bridges
north of Kaiyuan at five places the
Russian retirement was continued
March 10, 90 and 21, with only light
rifle firing. The Mukden branch of the
Russo Chinese bank removed all it's
money except 100000.
May Not Fight for Months

q. m.-The Russian rear guard is now
occupying a line of fairly strong natu-
raj positions thirtyfour miles south of
Gunshu pass. the center being the rail-
road village of Sipinghai and the flanks
covering the roads on either side, which
apparently it is the intention to defend
long enough TO force the japanese to
show their hands. The Russians may,
however, have been outflanked and
have no intention of making a serious
stand, especially as all the correspond
ents continue to report rumors of wide
turning operations on both flanks, in
dicating a probable basis in fact. The
correspondents believe a resumption of
hostilities on grand scale and an inn
portant battle are improbable inside of
three months.

BONUS FOR LOANS
Mrs. Chadwick Insists Her
Debts Do Not Exceed
S750,O0O

CLEVELAND, o., March 24.-In
bankruptcy court here today Mrs. Cas-
sic L. Chadwick detailed some of her
financial transactions in an examina-
ton by Louis ]. Grossman, acting for
Trustee Nathan Loeser. Mrs. Chad
wick testified that the total indebted
ness would not exceed $750.O00. OF this
sum, borrowed from various persons,
she had received only $4,000, leaving
$26S,OO0 for commissions to the money
lenders. She said she owed banks in
Cleveland 100000. The names of these
institutions she was willing to give to
Mr.. Loeser, trustee for the creditors,
privately.
Some of the questions put to her
were not answered, because she did not
care to give a reply from memory. The
examination disclosed additional assets
OF 100000. OF this amount $4,000 is
due from Charles Stewart of Cleve-
land and $4,000 worth of jewelry held
by Wolfers Bros. of Belgium. Mrs.
Chadwick stated there are other assets
consisting of jewelry and valuable as
sets held by various persons for her.
Papers Not at Hand
Mr.. Grossman's opening statement
was that he believed Mrs. Chadwick
owed upwards of 100000 and that of
that sum only 100000 in assets had
been located. He asked Mrs. Chadwick
TO assist the trustee-for the creditors in
locating all that could be found of her
property. - - -,
This Mrs. Chadwick was willing to
do. but said important papers she had
sent for would not be in her possess

FRENCHMEN THINK
THEY SCENT PEACE

PARIS. March 24-The prospects of
peace between Russia and Japan as
sumed almost a tangible aspect today
as the result of the announcement of
the resumption of negotiations for
Russian loan. The postponement of
the loan occurred through the stand
taken by the financial element against
proceeding while the uncertainties of
war continued, while willingness to
resume negotiations was construed as
meaning that their strong influence
finally has prevailed with the authori-
ties at st. Petersburg. The announce
ment of the resumption of negotia-
tions took definite form in a commune
cation to the syndicate of agents de

ment on the bourse, holding govern

one of the inducements to resump-
tion of the negotiations was that a con-

against Santo Domingo. 1t is explained
that the French holders of Dominican
bonds hoped the United States senate
would ratify the treaty adjusting the
finances of Santo Domingo and the bond
holders were much disappointed at the
fact that action on the treaty was de-
ferred. However they have not taken
steps to secure government intervention
and the latter has not yet shown a dis
position to assume the collection of the
debt by the adoption of drastic measures.
The officials here say the total amount Of
Dominican bonds held in Europe is about
$4,000, 600, divided in order of Importance
among Belgium, France, Holland and
Germany. Although Belgium is chiefly
interested, the authorities point out that
she is a neutral power. not having the
means TO adopt coercive measures.
BRUSSELS, March 24.-The protests of
the Belgian government and of the French
and Belgian bondholders of Santo Domingo
are said to be due to Santo Domingo s
nonobservance of the agreement conclud%
ed with these bondholders June 3, 1901,
to pay towards the service of the public
debt $25, 900 monthly out of the customs
receipts of the port of Santo Domingo. The
largest of the foreign debts of Santo Do
mingo is that represented by the bonds
of the new unified loan of 1897 held in
Europe principally in France and Bel
gium, consisting of two issues bearing
respectively "a and per cent interest
and amounting to about $21, $50, 600. Both
classes of bonds were secured on customs
duties and specially assigned revenues.
Default in the payment of interest was
made April 1, 1899, since which time sew
eral arrangements have been attempted
to provide for the interest payments Bel
gians hold about Sc, 900, 900 of Dominican

Chris Norbeck once a tool among

lice station, He was described on the

they do not like him. He is the man
they blame for the great "blow-up" of
the graft game which occurred in the
summer of 1902.
Norbeck was a detective then, under
indictment for bribery himself, and one
day he told in an open confession, the
whole long story of graft. He was

THE SUGAR TARIEF.

Kansas is interested in the sugar

HUMILIATION.

In its report of the discussion con-
corning the Burton matter in the senate
last Monday the Washington Post pub
fishes these paragraphs:
Throughout the terrible ordeal-for
such it was-Nr. Bailey's attitude, in
fact the attitude Of the entire senate,
was one of dignity, of wounded pride,
of humiliation that the senate's name
had been dragged in the mire and that
senators had been made the butt of RI
bald jokes by a needless and forgetful
public. All through the discussion Sen
ator Long, the unfortunate Burton's
colleague, sat close to Senator Burrows,
and elections, which may be called upon
to deal with the Burton case.
Mr.. Long seemed more Inundated,
if that were possible, than anybody else
in the chamber He held his head down,
as if in shame, and not once did he look
up at the gaping galleries that had their
eyes riVeted upon him. Several times
Mr.. Long appeared to be on the verge
of rising, either to speak his mind or to
leave the chamber, but he restrained
himself and sat silently through the dis
cusSiOn."
We who are here at home do not rea-
lie the full extent of the humiliation
the senior senator from Kansas has
brought upon the people Of his state in
the eyes of others. Kansans are no
worse than the citizens of other states
indeed we like to think we are a superior
people in most respects-but the rest of
the country looks upon US as a people
who honor one who betrays his trust
and stoOps to aid and abet a low swim
die. Is it any wonder that Senator Long
sat among his colleagues with a sense
OF humiliation resting upon him?
