EXPLAINED BY RUSSELL.
No Severance of Relations With the
 Illinois Central.

Illinois CentEAA

Russell of tho Mobile and Ohio Railroad. who arrived in St. Louis to- day made the following explanatory statement in regard to the report that the Mobile and Ohio had arranged a traffic deal with the Big Four where by the latter would become its ex- elusive Chicago connections:
 we will continue our close rela- tions with our other Chicago connec- tions and while we propose to con meet with the Big Four at Cairo, ex- pecting to handle considerable freight business delivered 10 us by the Big Four through the ports Of Mobile and New Orleans. we do not intend by any means to disturb our close relations with our other connections.
 "The Big Four has built double track from the city of Chicago to Dan vile, H., where they connect with the old Cairo and Vincennes Railroad, run ming into Cairo. It is over these con nections that we have made traffic agreement to do business through the gulf ports of Mobile and New Orleans from the city of Chicago.
 Tt is entirely foreign to our pur- pose to interfere with our friendly re- lations with the Illinois Central. We will continue to do business with the illinois Central in the future as we have fin the past and on the same friendly terms, 1t being impossible to bring about any disturbances, not only of rates but of the existing feeling that has prevailed for years between the two systems

 China also comedies to Japan tho right to build a railway from Aleung on the Yalu river to Mukden. the an cient capital of Manchuria. probably along the line of the famous old mil- itary or caravan road.
 Most important of all the provisions of the treaty Is an article whereby China agrees to open to the worlds q commerce and trade sixteen principal ports and cities In Manchuria inciud- ing Harbin, the modern Russian capt- tai of the province and its most inn portant railroad center, thus marking in the opinion of the State Depart ment officials the final success of tho long struggle by the United States for the open door.

PLIGHT OF TWO CHILDREN.
Ordered Reported, one Is Now Dead and
 the Other Sick.

New York, Dec. 22.-A peculiar and nathetic scene has overtaken the two children of Mrs. Marie Santangelo of Youngstown. Ohio. who were forcibly separated from their mother by the workings of the immigration laws. The children are to be deported.
 Enrico, a boy of 6. died yesterday of scarlet fever and Assunta, a girl of nine, is too i'll for the decree to be executed.
 A month ago Mrs. Santangelo. whose husband Is a naturalized citizen of the United States living in Youngstown, came to this city with the children. She was admitted only because her husband was q citizen but the chil- dren, who had trachoma, were order ed to be deported. The girl was left alone to care for her brother, both being practically prisoners of the inn migation department, while their mo- ther went on to Youngstown.
 The boy soon became sick leaving his sister alone among strangers. Then the girl was taken i'll and is now suffering with measles. The immigra- tion authorities here have decided to appeal to the secretary of the de- partment of commerce and labor to have the girl placed under her parents care

EAsON FINES ATTORNEYS.
Holds Them in Contempt for Having -.-.-. Criticized Him.

Wooster. O., Dec. 22.-The motion for a new triel in the Taggart divorce case was overruled by Judge Eason here this afternoon. Mrs. Taggart's attorney, who made the motion. took exceptions to the ruling with the an- nounced intention of carrying the case to the Circuit Court.
 The court took four hours to give the decision. He paid particular attention to the affidavits against himself, some of which declared that he was preju- diced and biased in giving the decree of divorce to Major Taggart. He pronounced these afidavits unfair, un- just and unusual for lawyers to make and other affidavits of prejudice he said were clearly in contempt, and he i'm posed a fine of SIS each upon Judge Lyman Critchfield, Captain James B. Taylor and Judge M L. Smyser. He suspended collection of the fines until the Circuit Court could pass upon his decision in the case.
 The attorneys made a vigorous pro- test against such a proceeding and in- sisted that he place his charges against them in writing.

Agreement to Split Up Oriental Busi-

Portland, Dec. 22.--An agreement di- viding territorially the Oriental flour trade between the large rans-Pacific steamship companies came to an end yesterday as a result of a meeting Of the representatives of the different companies held here for the purpose of inducing the Great Northern Steam ship Company to confine itself to Ore-l Ron and Washington and not to iF- wade California The conference failed to induce the Great Northern to recon slider it's determination.
 The Morning Oregonian in comment- ing, states that there is no doubt that the Hartman lines will establish agen- cies in Portland, Seattle and Tacoma and that the Boston Steamship Com pany. operating the Nippon Yusen Kali sha lines and Northern Pacific Will en- ter the California field.
 A. G. D.

AIR OF CALM CONFIDENCE.
The Government Evidently Believes in
 its Strength.


 its Strength.
 St Petersburg, Dec. 22.-It is difh- cult to judge whether the general po- litical strike can be ranked as sue cess or a failure. The authorities are surprised by the strength of the strik- ers and the strike has reached formid- able proportions in St. Petersburg, where, according to officials, over third of the R orkmen obeyed the order of the Workmens Council. The strike leaders are confidently asserting that the others would be brought into line immediately.
 The Government, however, has suc- ceeded in keeping railroad trafic out of St. Petersburg moving with reason- able regularity The scanty dispatches received from the interior do not indi- cate whether the order is meeting with a general response, which will be nec- essary to prevent it flashing in tho. pan like the November strike.
 The Government, while enterint Pn a vigorous offensive campaign aRaS4st the revolutionary leaders and making arrests by the wholesale. maintains an air of calm confidence. It has issued a reassuring comml 1ication declaring that all necessary measures have been taken to prevent disorders.
 The proletariat organizations are marshaling all their forces. The pre- vailing impression is that with the limited funds at the disposition of the unions the strike must spread rapidly and enter a new and more violent phase, or the game will be lost by the revoiutionists.
 General December" and General Hunger are powerful allies on the side of, the Emperor at the present time. NIst as they were in the fight against Napoleon. and it is thought that the leaders will not be able to hold their men in line unless an immediate victory is scored or a conflict forced and bloodshed ensues.
 Tn Moscow the striking railroad men and the lower classes, like the cab drivers, who see the bread taken from their mouths by the strike, are already at each others throats.

SUGGESTS AN AMENDMENT. Cowap Proposes Bcttermcnt of the Dol
 Ily1r HUI

Fort Worth. Texas. Dec. s2.-sam II {. Cowan, Secretary of the Texas Raisers Association, who was consulted by Sen ator Deliver in the drafting of the rate bill introduced by the latter. will endeavor to have an amendment en- grafted on the bill. Tn expressing his approval of the measure, generally, he said today that there wasLone deficiency in it.
 There should be added to this bill the. power in the commission to pre- scribe the relation between the rates without having to prescribe tho maxi mum and this provision VIII be offered as an amendment in the Senate un- doubtedly," said MT. Cowan.d For ex- ample, take the rate on corn and corn meal The commission under this bill could fix the maximum rate for both of these and thus fix. the relations Of the rates. but 1t would leave the rail- roads freer to act with respect to rates on both if the commission should simp- ly fix the relation of those rates so that one could not be higher than the other, or that the rate on corn meal should be no more than cents higher than on corn.
 AS 1t is under the bill as introduced by Senator Deliver. the commission could only fix a maximum in each case. which would leave the rates less Hex ible than to fix the relation thereof.

 New York. Dec. 22.--While the Deia- ware, Ieckawanna and Western ferry boat Monk Montclair was crowded on a trip tonight from the foot or Cristo- pher street to IIoboken fire broke out from beneath the row of seats in inc mems cabin. So sudden was the out- break of flames that those sitting on the seats had narrow escapes from burning sssg.
 .i7eN.t fire sers-tlie passengers lrk a rush to the open ends of the boat. mon almost pushing one another into the water. The panic spread to the women's cabin, which was also crowd ed, there being about 1000 passengers on the boat The Montclair was in midstream. As quickly as they could make their way to the fire extinguish- CTS, the deck hands took them down and played on the fire. which quickly became only a smudge of stirling smoke. The boat was driven full speed with whistle shrieking to the Hoboken; slip.
 The passengers hurried ashore and the firemen put out what remained of the blaze. It is supposed that 9 smouldering cigar stub communicated fire to rubbish.
