KITCHENER POLICY
BEGINS TO WORK
Railroad Through Khyber
Pass Soon.
TO PROTECT INDIAN ARMY
New Military Commander Sure That
War Between Russia and Eng
land Will Come.
TO PROTECT INDIAN ARMY

LAHORE, India, Sept. las one Of
the visible evidences of the triumph of
Lord Kitchener's ideas fer Il changed
policy in India, looking TO the defense
of this country in case the time ever
comes when q Russian invasion will be
made, the construction OF a railroad
through and beyond Khyber pass will
DC begun at once.
The single purpose of the building of
this road is TO put the Indian army in
a better position for defending India
from invasion.
Ever since Lord Kitchener became the
military commander IN India. he has
been advocating the placing Of the In
dian army on n better basis for the de-
this line led to a bitter contest with
Niceroy Curzon, and the end came in
the recent resignation of Lord Curzon.
Lord Kitchener is firm in his belief
that war between Great Britain and
Russia is almost certain 10 come some
day and he wishes the army to be ia
a position TO defend India. which would
probably be the first point Of Russian
attack. against invasion. The railroad
will facilitate the quick handling If
troops and the moving of supplies.
Khyber Pass Is in Afghanistan. and is
the principal pass from India into that
country. II commences ten miles west
miles northwest to the plain OF JelaIa-
bad.
II lies through cliffs which rise above
IL from 600 to 600 feet.

Manchuria, Trial Station
For Western Customs

Manchuria as a social and economic
experiment station, in which to try
Western ideas and methods on the
Chinese, is the latest proposal for the
solution of the large problem OF the
future OF that vast and rich region.
The proposal comes from Chinese
sources. 1t is recognized that the West
ern nations Will have large interest in
the determination which China shall
make as 10 the future administration OF
Manchuria, and especially that they
and progress.
II the experiment with the introduc
ton of Occidtntal ideas proved success
in Manchuria. IL would of course mean
rapid spread of these ideas TO other
parts of the Chinese empire.
Mancnuria is regarded as n fertile
ground for such an experiment because
II has in the last decade been brought
so much In contact with Western people
and methods, and has had a very ac-
curate notion of Western civilization
put into IL during the war now ending
United States Consul Gracey, at Nan
king China. reports that he has had
an interesting conversation with Mr..
] Lao Tsung-yao chief commissioner of
| the bureau of foreign affairs Of the
| Liangkians provinces.
/ Mr.. Lao is a highly educated Chinese
/ gentleman a graduate of the Middle
. Temple in England. and has been admit
ted 10 the English bar.
! Mr. Lao informed Consul Gracey that
! he had had several discussions with the
viceroy regarding the ultimate fate of
| Manchuria should its territory be re-
/ turned to China on the termination of
the present trouble. Mr. Lao has sug-
gested the advisability OF placing Man
! churia in the position of an experimental
! ground.
| He recognizes the effort toward re-
form which is being so strenuously made
! by the government and has suggested
and discussed with the viceroy the use
of Manchuria as a testing ground for
| these reforms
The reforms are: Opening the country
to foreign commerce. granting mining
and railway concessions. reforming the
judicial and monetary systems. aboli-
| ton of the use of torture in the courts.
etc.

much impressed with this idea. and will

RUSS|A'S TRADE
CONCESSIONS NOT
So FAR-REACH|NG
Serious Oversight in Re-
moval of High
Duties.
HITS FARM IMPLEMENTS
President, However, Hopes
to Start Movement for
Reciprocity Treaty.

Russia's abolition Of discriminatory
duties on American goods, announced
in a communication from the Czar to
President Roosevelt. it was learned to-
day. is not so sweeping as was first
thought here.
The retaliatory duties are lifted on
iron wares, iron and steel boilers, loco
motives, automobiles, etc, but they are
not Fitted on agricultural implements
or machinery
This is considered a serious oversight
in the evidently well meant step taken
by Russia The discriminating duties
were placed on these goods by the
Russian government IN retaliation for
the countervailing duties on sugar
shipped from Russia imposed by this
country. The duties have been heavily
felt by American manufacturers.
Nevertheless. the move made by the
Czar has made q most favorable impress
sion here. and IL is said even that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will feel encouraged
enough 10 make an attempt TO secure a
reciprocity treaty with Russia.
The two nations were on the verge of
entering upon a disastrous commercial
warfare.
Treasury decided that Russia was pay
ing an export duty on Russian sugar
imported into the United States. The
Dingley tariff law provides that in such
cases this Government shall impose an
extra import duty equal to the amount
OF the bounty paid by the foreign gov
eminent.
When Mr.. Gage was Secretary of the
Treasury, he held that Russia was pay
ing bounty on sugar imported into
this country. Russia took issue with
him, but the United States Supreme
Court upheld his decision.
Russia has what is known as the max
imun and minimum tariff law. and on
learning OF the courts decision the
Russian government put into effect its
maximum tariff rate against American
products

New Rule Stirs Up Navy

CRAFTSMEN CALL 1T UNFAIR
If One Mans Pay Is Raised a De-

CRAFTSMEN CALL IT UNFAIR

Craftsmen in the Bureau of ConStruc-
tion ard Repair Of the Navy Depart
ment ale stirred up over a new rule
regarding promotions and reductions in
the corps which began on the first OF
the year, but the effects of which are
Just being felt.
This rule, the men say, is in actual
effect that no promotion can occur un-
less some other man has to suffer for
it In other words the appropriation
for the department is so tied up that
when one draftsman's salary is increas-
ed IL must be At the expense of fellow
worker
Heretofore. there was always special
fund set aside to provide specifically for
increases in salary and no man had to
be reduced in pay because another went
up in rank Recently the craftsman
have had a chance TO see the rule In
operation, and the effect has been to
cause CONSERVATION among them, more

partment that four craftsmen are to re-
ceive an increase of pay OF 80 cents per
diem. At the same time another an
nouncement was forthcoming that a
CORRESPONDING four are, TO suffer a re-
ductiOn of % cents per diem
This fairly staggered the craftsmen.
for OF the four who got an increase in
pay there were a number who worked
at the desk with those who had been
reduced They were personal friends and
one or two even felt hesitancy in be-
ing promoted at the expense of their
comrades. The explanation of the new
system, however. has been given out
in the department and the men who de-
sign naval vessels and supervise the
mans of building and repair are given
, 10 understand that this will be the rule
in effect hereafter
At Mercy of Chief.
One ground of complaint is that the
men are placed too much at the mercy
of their chief in their rating. There is
bound to be favcritism in the mark

no appeal once the marks are made
