OWN GUN TURNED ON HIM

Another box car robbery took place
early yesterday morning at the Rio
Grande Western yards, when w g
Jameson Of Kansas City was seized by
two men and relieved of So a watch,
revolver and several other articles Of
value. The robbers entered the car while
ne was asleep and. taking d bar-hold on
him, robbed him by main force When
he awoke he attempted TO fight them off
but he was thrown to the floor and the
men threatened to XIII MIN if he made
d struggle.
Neither man exhibited a gun, but as
soon as they found his revolver he was
commanded to stand up. throw up mis-
hands and was then searched while look
ms down the muzzIe of his own gun
The men left the car and lost no time
in making their escape Jameson at
tempted to follow them, and he after
wards reported To the police that ne be
lieved they caught the early morning
train to Ogden
Beating His Way Home.
Jameson was beating his way home from
California, where he had been working
for the past few months but had only
enough money to- pay for food along the
road He had been in Salt Lake for sew
cTdi hours. and CTaWled into box car
intending to beat his way out that morn
ing He reported that he believed he
saw the men before, and felt sure they
boarded the freight train III N~.8da. the

A number Of box car rObbaTies have
taken place recently in Salt Lake, Cg-
den and other points hereaDIUtS- It is
believed by the police that another gang
has started operations and every EFFORT
IS being made TO apprehend them The
Southern Pacific detectives broke up q
well organized gang about six months ago
and several of them were arrested in

Difficult for Russia.

These facts are in the possession Of
the Washington government. Count Cas-
SIM has learned of the reasonable atti-
tUde shown by Japan and has advised
his government to that effect While
looking for reasonable conditions. the
neutral powers fully appreciate that in
view Of the character Of the war thus
far the conditions must necessarily be
difficult for Russia, and there is no
hope for anything like an easy peace
with Japan. While there have been uUS
and downs in these, as in all negoti-
atoms, there has not been an actual hitch
thus far and those in touch with the
real situation do not expect anything like
a real obstruction until the peace dele
gates assemble at the Washington and
the Japanese ENJOYS disclose their terms.

British Position.

DESTROYS as is the British government
for peace, the time has not Yet come
when, as the ally of Japan, she can even
go to the extent of COunseIing mOdera-
ton. Indeed, this counsel has not vet
been offered because London shares the
belief Of Washington that the japanese
terms viii be endUrable. Japan, while
retaining from giving these terms, has
shown by her general attitude that she
is inclined to be moderate, though BY
no means weak OF relenting in her con-
ditiOns- What gives the officials here
hope IS the frank expression on the part
Of the Japanese that 1t is not their wish
TO crush Russia as a nation Another
important fact which has come to light
is the imprObabiIity of the use of the
indemnity for the enlargement Of the
japanese navy It can be said that, once
the war Is over Japan viii turn her face
toward internal development and res
tOFati0n of industrial conditions at home
to their normal basis. Encouragement
viii be given to all branches of indus
Stry, and commercial supremacy. rather
than military supremacy alone, viii be

conference was with Sir Mortimer Du-

reached the White House about 10 O'Clock
and remained with the president until
after II o'clock Mr. Takahira went soon
after the arrival Of the ambassador. The
ambassador upon leaving was Of course
unable TO discuss the occasion of his
visit but he took occasion TO allude to
the general appreciation throughout the
civilized world of the work Of the pres

his confidence that the negotiations were

The negotiations were the main subject
discussed by the president with the Brit

number of other pending questions

THE; CHANCELLOR OBJECTS.
Thinks It Foolish to Have College
Students In Inaugural Parade.

Z u.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-In an address
to the undergraduates, Chancellor
MacCracken, of New York Univcr,
sity, expressed himself as opposed TO
the plan to have college men in the
inaugural parade at Washington. AZ
ter saying that he, in common with
other college presidents, had received
a letter from the inaugural commit
tee requesting his aid in the matter,
the Chancellor continued:
81 have declined to take up this
mater because | think that this in.
augural committee is doing a very
foolish thing. They are attempting
10 take one.tenth Of the college stu.
dents of the country to Washington
10 perform no higher mission than
march an hour or two along the ave
nue. and stand for an hour or two
about the Capitol.
"My first objection is that the Whole
plan would convey to students a
weak and false notion regarding the
best way of evidencing patriotism
1t asks nothing from the brains oil
students. 1t asks for their legs and
feet. This call to prove our patriot
ism by marching is like demand that
we prove our religion by ceremony
and genu1ection. Another objection
is that the plan is thoughtless break
ing into the term Of college work with
demand for three or four days re
cess"

THE CANDIDACY OF WILLLAMFLEMTG
The strenuous and desperate efforts
that are being made on behalf of VIII
liam Fleming to inject him into the
county treasurers Office justify a brief
review of his political career.
Mr.. Fleming was an avowed repub-
lican, as his father had been before
him, and had no sympathy or affillation
with democrats until after he had
broken up in business and needed an
office. Then he became a convert to
free silver and called himself a silver
republican. On that issue by fusion
with the democrats, with whom he had
nothing in common on any other issue,
except his need of an Office, he was
elected tax commissioner of Omaha. It
is a matter of notoriety, however that
he owed his election to sympathetic
republicans, who believed that he would
get over his free silver hallucination in
due time.
When the silver republican party had
passed away because free coinage had
ceased to be an issue, nine-tenths of all
the silver republican prodigals returned
to their political relations. Not so,
however, with Mr.. Fleming. He had
partaken of the savory popocratic dishes
and saw no immediate prospect of fat
job from the republicans. So he turned
democrat for revenue only, although he
never believed and does not now be-
lieve in democratic doctrine, either as
taught by the fathers, or by Bryan, or
by Parker. Why lifetime democrats
should sacrifice their own ambitions for
the benefit of a deserter from the ranks
of the common enemy passes compre-
hension.
Why any republican should give pref
erence to a renegade over loyal repub-
lican is equally inexplicable. On the
one hand, democrats have nothing to
gain by keeping Fleming in Office. Con-
| ceding that Fleming has a sympathetic
following within the republican ranks,
lie mas never uaheieiAeu so''"iy WV
except possibly his own, to any other
! democratic candidate.
| Even If we should concede all that Is
claimed for Mr.. Fleming as an honest
and efficient public official, there would
be no reason why any republican should
give him preference and desert his own
| mart nominee inst TO keen Mr. Fleming
| perpetually in office.

drastic action, but apparently fears to
carry It out, perhaps apprehending that
to carry 1t out might aggravate the
trouble. The idea would seem TO be 20
let the revolutionary spirit burn itself
out The ominous phase OF the situation
apparently is this, that the people may
have reached a stage OF chronic discon-
tent that accepts nothing as sufficient,
that dlstrusts the sincerity of all con-
cessiOns by the throne, that rapidly
moves to extremer demands once the
more moderate have been granted. Ger
tainly the existing state of affairs shows
very forcibly how little prepared large
portion of the Russian people are for the
liberty they are asking, and this applies
to many of intelligence, for students in
the universities are among the leaders
of the mobs and are as lawless and VIC
lent as the worst Of them. The imperial
decree creating the cabinet ministers is
not calculated to help the situation, since
it distinctly reserves powers to the car
which seem inconsistent with the pre-
ceding manifesto.

GrRMAN Trade PROPOSALS..

The German ambassador to the United
States will at an early day submit pro-
posals of his government for a new trade
agreement between Germany and this
country. According to a reported state
ment of Chancellor Buelow there is no
desire to damage the trade of the United
States and the proposals about to be
made are designed to increase the ex-
changes between the two countries, not
to contract them. He said that former
treaties had proved detrimental to Ger
many's agricultural interests and there
fore special attention was given those
interests in the new tariff, but the aim
is not hostile TO commercial treaties, as
shown by the fact that several have
been negotiated. with the United
States, too" said the chancellor, 1--WE can
live upon friendly footing in trade re-
lations and extend our system of ex-
changes to the advantage of both cOun-
tries" He expressed confidence that a
conciliatory spirit on both sides will har-
monlze the German and American stand
points.
This explanation of the attitude of the
German government in this very impor-
tant matter is very satisfactory, insofar
as it shows a friendly disposition, but
not until the character OF its proposals
] Is known can there be assurance
whether or not Germany really aims to
| increase exchanges between the two
countries. The new tariff Of that cOun-
! try will affect American trade amount
| ing TO $4O,OOO.OOO This trade is to a
! large extent in agricultural products, the
| increased duties on which are for the
protection Of Germany's agricultural in
terests. 1t seems hardly probable that
she will be disposed to make such con-
cessions as will enable us to maintain
our exports of breadstuffs TO the German
markets. Yet 1t will be scarcely possible
I TO negotiate a new commercial treaty
unless Germany is willing to make lib
eral concessions from the new duties ON
our agricultural products This is the
most important point to be determined
and II will probably prove to be the in
surmOuntable obstacle to a reciprocity
agreement Our government, it can very
confidently be predicted, will not enter
into treaty that did not accord proper
consideration to the agricultural inter
ests Of the country. OF course there are
other interests concerned, but none to so
great an extent as the producers OF food
stuffs
Meanwhile the German tariff question
is receiving very earnest attention in the
ised a vigorous pressure from these
