RUMPUS LIKELY
IN MANCHURIA
American Consul Clashes With
Higher Powers
REGULATIONS TOO STRICT
Owners of Chinese Eastern Railway
Are Too Arbitrary In Their De-
mands Upon Foreign Resi- d.
dents of the Territory.
REGULATIONS TOO STRICT

ST. Petersburg. april 3-Russia and sew
eral other powers are waiting with inter
est the announcement of the attitude OF
the state department at Washington re-
garding the Fisher incident. as this issue
affects not only the administration Of
Hardin and Chailar by Russia, but the en-
tire question of the sovereignty of North
China and South Manehura. Fred D.
Fisher American consul at Hardin, has
consistently refused to recognize or adj
nit that he should have anything to do
with the Russian administration of this
territory on the ground that he was ac-
credited solely to China. and his attitude
in this matter prompted Russia to seek
an explanation of his course at Washing
ton.
Ii was learned here today that the Ger
man consul at Hardin had sided with Mr..
Fisher against the demands of the Rus
sian authorities which involved the sign-
ing by foreign and Chinese residents of a
paper agreeing to obey the ordinances of
the Hardin municipal council and to pay
taxes. The president Of The council is
named by the railroad and in this manner
Russian control is assured. The French
consul at Hardin aequiesced in the Rus
sian demands.
1t is believed here that the real reasons
behind the protest of China and the sup
port given this protest by the American
and German consuls is to be found less
in objections to a change in the form of
the Russian administration OF Hardin than
in the apprehension aroused by the ag-
gressive and far-reaching policy of japan
in Southern Manchuria.
Russia also signed a telegraph conven-
ton with China surrendeIing the Man
churian lines, excepting the railroad tele-
graph, to the Chinese authorities, While
Japan installed her own lines throughout
the south, and even attempted to assert
her control of the deep sea cables laid by
private companies. 1t is asserted here
that China is responsible for the uniting
of the policies of Russia and Japan in
Manchuria. No further news has been
received here regarding the petition of the
Monaghan princes to the Picking govern
ment for the construction Of a railroad be-
Picking, and the trans-Baillal settlement
of Kiakhta. which would give the trans
Siberian railroad direct connection with
Picking and Kalgan by an automobile ser
vice from this latter point to Urga.

He set the House in an uproar when he
said the republicans reminded him of a
little piece of poetry that his boy had

mother remarked kid, you ought never
to repeat that because that is just about
the same as telling anybody to go to the

He then read the poem as follows:
when asked my girl to marry me, she
said,

She knew that I knew her father was
She knew that I knew what a life he

She knew that knew what she meant,
when she said
