MAININNlAG "OpEN DOOR,
CONSUL FlsHER's POSITION AT
HARDIN SEEMS TENABLE.
Contract With Chinese Government
and Treaty Of Portsmouth Both
Against Russia'S Contentious.

Washington, Apr. 4.-Baron Rosen,
the Russian ambassador was in con-
ference with Secretary Root at the
state department Friday at which Rus
sia's sphere Of influence, authority and
interest in Manchuria 10 understood to
have been the subject Of consideration.
It has developed that the position
taken by United States Consul Fisher
at Hardin, pnder Instructions from the
Washington government to decline to
recognize the authority Of the director
Of the Chinese Eastern railway in the
municipal government there, is the
first indication the American govern
ment has given Of the course likely to
be followed by 1t in the maintenance OF
the open door" doctrine announced as
q permanent principle by the late Sec
rotary Hay. e
That the American government VIII
have little dIfficulty in maintaining the
position It has taken is made evident
from a review aof basis Of Russian as
sertlon Of jurisdiction over the Chinese
Eastern railway zone. This basis is
a contract entered into by the Chinese
government and the Russo-Chinese
bank in 1896. Many Of the prominent
features Of this contract have been
made the subject Of a protest since by
China. For instance, the director OF
the road was to be appointed by China
and reside in Pekin.
This provision has never been com
plied with. The director Of the road Is
4 Russian and resides at Hardin.
As further establishing Russlae
true position in Manchuria, the treaty
Of Portsmouth. which ended the war
between Russia and Japan is most OK,
plicit IN terms. In this treaty the
two powers agree ITO completely and
simultaneously evacuate Manchuria,"
with the exception Of the leased por
ton Of the Llaotung peninsula; to en-
tirely and completely restore to the
executive administration of China all
parts Of Manchurla now occupied by
Russian and Japanese troops or which
are under their control with the ex'
ception Of the above mentioned terri
tory. And again in the same treaty:

declares that It has no territorial ad'

0PEAkER CANNON PRESENTS
RESOLUTIONS IN HOUSE Ask;
ING FOR INFORMATION
If ANY HAS BEEN GATHERED.
In An Interview He lntImates That
Duty on Wood Pulp 10 Not
Responsible for In
creased Price.

Washington, Apr. 3.-ln his capacity
as member Of the house Speaker
Cannon Thursday introduced resolu-
ton directing the attorney general
to transmit to the house the papers
bearing on the investigation into the
affairs Of the print paper trust
In reply to question as to the pur-
pose of the resolution, Speaker Can
non said: - ES
"The duty on pFIut paper Is Is per
cent ad valorem and has been the
same since 1890 under the Mckinley
law, the Wilson law and the Dingley
law, covering a period OF IS years. 1t
is claimed that the price has been
advanced within the last few months,
largely more than equal to the duty.
1.-THE publishers Of the United States
represented by Herman Ridder, claim
nat the manufacturers of wood pulp
nd print paper have been by agree
.nent and combinatioi., even covering
arrangements with Canadian manufac-
turers, arbitrarily limiting the produc
ton and advanced the price of print
paper. If the claim Of the publishers
Is correct the manufacturers Of. print
PAPER are subject to penalty and trust
md can be dissolved and enjoined by
proceedings in equity in any Of the
United States courts where they or
any of them can be found, and II
the claim OF the publishers is correct
the advance in the price is not due to
the duty but results from the illegal
trust and combination. II the small
duty were repealed 1t would not inter
tere with the Illegal trust agreement
"The object Of the two resolutions
s to ascertain: First, what ivestiga-
tion the department of commerce and
abor through the bureau Of corpora
lions has made, II any, touching on
the premises.
Secondly. to ascertain what steps
have been taken by the department OF
Justice, If any, to investigate touching
the premises, and II there is reason to
believe that the law has been violated
or is being violated, what steps are
being taken to enforce the same"
Later in the day Representative
Champ Clark (Mo.), denounced Speak
CT Cannon and the IL republican mem
bers OF. the committee on ways and
means for persisting in their refusal
to bring in a bill placing wood pulp
and white print paper on the free list.
He said that the Republican editors
and publishers III they we're worth
the powder and shot to kill them"
would lash the speaker, chairman
Payne and the other Republicans OF
the committee. "If they don't do it,,
he exclaimed, they ought to hold their
peace and vote for us in November"

Railways insufficient.
Representative John Dalzcll of Pitts

called attention to the need of enlarged
waterways to accommodate the rapidly
growing freight traffic of the United
States. He quoted copiouSly from recent
speech by James ]. Hill. which pointed
out that the railroads of the country could
not possibly increase fast enough to meet
the freight demands upon them, anu USED
the enormous traffic of Pittsburg as an
illustration of what was needed in the
way of water transportation TO supple
ment the work OF the railroads.
Senator Depew spoke along the same
lines. saying that forty years ago he was
almost alone in the belief now held by
many people that the canal and nav1gable
river was the natural supplement to the
railroad. He said that he had voted for
the enlargement of the Erie canal ana

and when speaking of the case today
said that according to medical science
there is no reason why the disease should

Mrs. Early. her mother and her two

near the asylum grounds given to them

AS matter of fact Mrs. Early had only

Mr. Perkins paused for a moment and

That Congress also adopt such new pro-

We further recommend the appointment

a member. to prepare bill for introduce

forth and the creation of a statutory

International Association Invited.
A resolution presented by Representa-
tive Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania was
adopted by the Congress, inviting the
permanent International association OF
waterways To hold its triennial meeting
of 1911 in this country. formal IN
vitaton from Congress would be neces-
sary to bring this body here. and COM
mittee was appointed to urge such con-
gressional action.
Mr.. Moore explained that the Permanent
International Association was made up
of the best engineers and experts In Eu-
rope. and had met in London, Paris. Ber-
lin and Vienna. and held its latest ses-
sion i'm st. Petersburg. Congress had APP
pointed American delegates to attend the
last two meetings, so this country was
already a member of the association. 1t
had been intended that the next meeting
should be held in Austria, but certain
