Viceroy Yuan Shih kai. tho most influential mar In China. is quite confident that Japan will act in good faith. ....:
 Dr. Morrison thought that the anti American sentiment among the Chi nese is subsiding and that it had never become as widespread as had been rep resented He did not think the Chi nese would boycott for any great length of time goods that they mad fourl profitable to handle.

Heudricks Tell. Why.

Syracuse, N.

Mir. Hendricks said:
 That was ancient history. We had gone into that before. We told them (the Society," to call the loan. We marked the valuation of the property down to $150.00O. They kicked on that and we told them that if we made any change. 1t would be less. They then foreclosed the mortgage on the prop erty. bid 1t in for S50.000 and they have 1t yet"
 MT. Hendricks also replied to the comment of District Attorney Jerome of New York, who had said 1t was funny that the newspapers could get copy of the evidence taken in the Equitable investigation. when he (the District Attarney) could not. Mir. Hendricks said: If Jerome wanted a copy of the testimony why didn't he ask for it? He has never asked for a copy of the testimony. not, at least. from me, neither at the New York of- flee or the Albany office of the depart ment If he has ever asked for 1t, we have not receive dany such request"
 It is understood a copy of the testi- mony was sent to the New York of- flee of the department to be ready for Mir. Jerome II he asked for 1t.

TREPOFF's NERVE.
Expects Death, But Will Proceed to Do
 His Duty.

St. Petersburg. July 13.-The resigna- tion of M. Bouligin as Minister of the Interior is expected daily. General Trepoff, the Assistant Minister of the Interior, will probably be his successor
 The terrorists have recently renewed their warnings against General Ire poff with ominous persistence. The general is constantly in receipt of let ters signed by the executive committee of the fighting organization informing him that his hour has come. re- markable feature of all the communfca- tions is that the writers take pains to say that no safeguards will avail 10 avert his impending doom. At the same time they tell him he need not be afraid to go abroad fin the streets. They add.
 "Your sentence will be excepted in vour own room. You will die in your bed"
 The terrorfsts seem to take pride in issuing a chaileSge Involving demon- stration of their power and resources to penetrate the armor of the police. Moreover, General Trepoff knows enough of the resources and desperateness or the organization to firmly believe that the terrorists are able to execute their threats He makes no concealment or the fact that he expects tp be killed, but his nerve is unshaken. T Will at least die at the post of duty" he says.
 Privately, General Trepoff takes a ~,oomv view of the future of the auto cracy in which he believes. The Gem eral is confident that If given untram- melIed power, he could restore the old status quo in year. but the present vacillating policy he thinks Will end only in ruin. ~
 A representative assembly no matter what it's initial character may be. he IS convinced. will soon be transformed into a constituent assembly which will give the death blow to absolutism.

New York, July 13-Senator Depew has not resigned as a director of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. This announcement was made today by Chairman Paul Morton. of the Equita- ble. when his attention was directedto an interview with the Senator in Paris yesterday which was printed here to- day. Mir. Morton said that just before Senator Depew sailed for Europe a few weeks ago he called at the Equi- table offices and told the Chairman that he would resign as a director and that he had no objection to his $20,000 posi- ton as special counsel to tho Society being cancelled or abolished.
 No formal presentation of the resig- nation ever had been made, however, and MT. Morton said he was unpre- pared to say whether or not 1t would be accepted if rendered. Senator De- pews connection with tho Society as special counsel will terminate on Au- gust 1. 1t having been announced some- time ago that that position would be abolished at the end of the present month.

 After Hyde's Scalp.
 Messrs. Jordan and cheatham. while they will not say 50, are after tha ofrcial scalp of Chief statistician Hyde, who. they think. should follow Holmes out of theDepartment of Agrt-s culture.
 MT. Chsatham win call on District Attorney Beach tomorrow and confer with him. At the conference Mr. Cheatham will offer the assistance Of the Cotton Growers Association. his idea being to cooperate with the De- partment of Justice in thoroughly un- earthing all the facts in the cotton leak which they say Wilson may have covered up for the good of the sef-' vice."

 The case Is entirely out of Wilson's, hands now. President Roosevelt's order to Acting Attorney General Hoyt to probe the scandal to the bottom from . legal standpoint has forced the secre- tary of Agriculture to take back seat: and from now on he will have to stand quietly by and watch Mir.

One of the orphan anti.

already gotten $2OO,OOO.OO of
township bonds from the
townships through which
they proposed to pass and
were now asking $1OO,OOO.OO
more from the county. If all
the townships had voted the

half that amount, and as no
