travention to the supplementary provisions
of the China-Japanese treaty OF 1905 defin-
ing the regions where foreigners, including
Japanese, shall be permitted to reside,
Japanese agents. have worked their way
into the most remote corners of the empire.
The note of Japanese intrigue consists in
assuring the Chinese that Japan is their
protector against the nations OF the west
and at the same time reassuring the west
erners that japan is their vanguard against
the Chinese peril
The apprehensions of the Novoe vremya
regarding the reopening OF the far eastern
question are fully shared in Russian mill
tary circles, where the steady armament OF
China and Japan is viewed with alarm.
This movement is regarded as primarily
menacing to the remnant OF Russian possess
sions on the Pacific,

FIRST TRIP OVER NEW LINE
OmciRIs of Milwaukee Road Return
from Inspection in south
Dakota.

MITCHELL, s. d, July A.-(special) -
The head officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee
St. Paul railroad have Just made their
first trip over their line from Chicago to
the Black Hills country, this being the
first through train from the east to the
west side Of the Mississippi river which
the train crossed on it's own bridge Among
the officials on the train when II went
through Mitchell were second Vice President
McKenna third Vice President Hiland
General Manager Goodnow. General Pas
senger Agent Miller. General Freight Agent
Pierpont and A. r. Manchester, superin-
tendent OF motive power. The trip was
made out to Rapid City to inspect the con-
dition OF the roadbed and arrive at some
conclusion as to when through trains could
be established from Chicago.
The officials found the roadbed in poor
condition, owing to the heavy rains that
have fallen through the reservation in the
past ten days and they were unable to make
any definite statement when the road would
be open to through business. At the
present time the company is hauling i'm
mense quantities OF gravel from the bed
near Oacoma and gravelng the roadbed
using forty TO fifty cars per day. This work
is accomplished nearly to Murdo, distance
Of seventy miles from Chamberlain. Por-
tions of the roadbed are sunk in the soft
gumbo soil and It cannot be depended upon
until the gravel is substituted The COM
pany will have to arrange this fall TO handle
the big crop that is being raised out on the
reservation this season, as the heavy rains
during the season has made the grain grow
very rapidly and very heavy yield is re-
ported all along the line. To haul this to
market will require a good roadbed and
the company will arrange to put the road
in the best possible shape.
| II was reported that the United States
government had condemned the bridge
across the Missouri river as being unsafe
to haul passenger trains across. but the
officials declare that no such order was
ever issued, and they would be the first to
close the bridge to trains II II were not
absolutely safe. The bridge has been out
of repair for several weeks but was put in
good condition Friday.

WYOMING WANTS IMMIGRANTS
Coal Miners or Farm LabOrers Most
in Demand, According to
Governor.
CFrom a staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, July A.-(Special Tele-
gram,) ION July there was installed new
division OF the Department Of Commerce
and Labor to be known. according to the
immigration law signed February % of this
year, a sthe division Of information in the
bureau of immigrtion and naturalization,
with chief and such other clerical assist
ance as may be necessary. the duty of
such division being to promote the bene-
fcial distribution of aliens admitted into
the United States among the several states
and territories desiring immigration"
As chief of this division T. V. Powderly,
formerly chief of bureau OF immigration,
has been appointed and one of the first
things Mr.. Powderly did was to direct a
letter to the governors of states and terri
tories asking them a series of questions
relating to the needs of the several states
as to laborers and what nationalities were
most desired. Among the answers received
was one from Governor Brooks OF Wyo-
ming, who states taht the demand for work.
men in his state is most urgent, particu-
larly in the coal fields, all OF which are
short-handed. The agricultural sections are
also in need of laborers, ranch owners
being at their wits end TO know how to
harvest their crops. "The class of laborers
miners and unskilled common laborers. We
could use many Finn miners TO great ad-
vantage. Mechanics are needed in all our
cities and in every trade. In our coal
mines both single men and heads Of famiI-
les could be worked to advantage, but
heads OF families are preferred. Two thou
sand coal miners are required at present
and more can be used next fall Farm
wages range from $50 TO $40 per month with
board. Coal miners get 50 per day for ordi-
nary work and skilled miners and work
men make from $3.50 to So per day. All ma
tionalities can be used to advantage"
Governor Sheldon OF Nebraska and Gov
ernor Cummins OF Iowa have not answered
Mr.. Powderly's interropgatories, but their
replies are expected daily.

ises much for the space writer and the

ernment in this city and opened negotia-
tions with the Corean government the same
vening. The Corean ministry is now
0lding a meeting with closed doors
Marquis Ito's official newspaper expressed
satisfaction with the views of some of tho
foreign papers regarding the situation in
Corea, but says il is surprised at the i'm
preston which appears to prevail abroad
that Japan has taken action in Corea, in
sisting that Japan has not done so.
Proposed Plans Make Great Change.
SEOUL, July 4.-It is understood that
the proposals of Japan with which Wis
count Hayashi was charged were presented
by Marquis Ito to the Corean cabinet
which met at 10 o'clock this morning under
a Japanese guard. The meeting was held
in the temporary quarters of the minister
Of agriculture in the japanese section of
the city The ministers deliberated until
o'clock in the afternoon when Premier
Ivan Hung, together with the minister Of
war, presented the new plan of governing
the state to the emperor in the palace, re-
turning to the cabinet meeting within two
hours.
1t is understood that the Japanese pro-
posals though they do not molest the Sc
curity of the throne are revolutionary and
the fact that the audience of the cabinet
members with the emperor was brief is
believed to be evidence of the consterna-
.tion of the court
Many AGItRtOrs arrested.
Many agitators from the provinces are
arriving here. They are not permitted to
assemble in the city and therefore are
meeting in suburban towns, where 100
soldiers we're yesterday detailed to dis
perse them.
On account of the prevailing heat and
disquiet the financial archives of the gov
ernment, and also the correspondence
of the various government departments
have been removed to the Japanese city
to insure their safety from destruction by
fire.
Wholesale arrests of subordinates leav-
ing the palace began at o'clock yesterday
afternoon the object being to intercept pos
sible communications from the former
emperor which might throw light on al
legged plots.
A message from Chemulpo states that
the Japanese war vessels Kasagi Nitaka
and Tsushima arrived there from Gensan
at o'clock this morning with many blue
Jackets and provincial troops on board.
The troops will proceed to Seoul.
