cused of the Crime.

Minot. N. d., April 1.-Gus John
son, a wealthy farmer who lived five
miles south of Kenmare, has been
murdered and R. S. Noah and Patsy
Coyle are in Jail charged with the
crime. Recently Johnson employed
Noah to work for him and in a few
days the latter reported in Kenmare
that Johnson had gone to Sweden and
had left him and Coyle, who is said
to be an eX-convict, to run his farm
in his absence. They commenced to
sell grain and stock from the farm
and neighbors, becoming suspicious,
made a search and found the dead
body of johnson, bearing unmistak-
ably evidences of violence, in the eel
lar, where it had been pitched through
a trapdoor.
Noah and Coyle were arrested and
deputies have been sent from Minot
to guard the Jail because neighbors of
Johnson made threats to lynch.

SIMPLY oBEYING ORDERS.
Consul Fisher Not Acting on His Own
Initiative,

Washington, April lit is admit
ted at the state department that the
status of the American consul at Har.
bin has been made the subject of rep.
reservations to Washington by the
Russian government, but while nego'
tiations are pending the officials are
10th to discuss it. The important fact
is developed, however, that the Amer
lean consul, MIR Fisher, is not acting
on his own initiative in declining to
seek the permission Of Russia to eXer-
else his consular functions. On the
contrary, it is understood that he is
simply executing a carefully consid-
cred plan of the state department to
bring about through proper means q
recognition, not only by Russia but by
other nations interested in Manchuria,
of the integrity of Chinese posses
sions. 1t was long ago perceived that

of either Russia or Japan over the, So

commercial depots and capable as
they are of indefinite expansion of
boundaries at the whim of l%easehold.
ers, would soon completely defeat
John Hays dream OF "the open door
in Manchuria. Therefore a quite def
mite policy has been adopted by the
state department, the very foundation
of which was the application of Amer
lean consuls in that province for Chi
nese eXequateurs. This was by no
means pleasing to Japan, but it is be-
lieved America is supported fully
therein by the great commercial ma.
lions of Europe which have large
trade interests in the Orient.

Washington, April 1.-The presi.
dent has sent to the senate the Ven

spondence overs the history of the
five American claims which this gov.
have President Castro agree to arbi-
trate. They are the Jaurett claim, the
Orinoco corporation claim, the Orinoco
Steamship company claim, the United
States and Venezuelan company (com-
monty known as the Critchfield) claim

phalt company claim. In explanation
of the latter the famous Calhoun
report is for the first time made pub

with procrastination or refusal the
dignity of this government would seem

saying: "It is useless to attempt to
exhaust justice in a country where
there is no justice to exhaust" The

American Consul at Hardin Recoq.

COMPLAINS TO WASHINGTON

Cars Government Seeks Explanation
Of Officials Action, but It 10 Said
the Latter Is Simply obeying His
instructions.
st. Petersburg, April 1.-The Rus
sian government is disturbed by the
attitude assumed by Fred D. Fisher,
the American consul at Hardin, in
the matter of recognizing the jurisdic'
ton of Russia in Manchurfa. MIR.
Fisher insists that Chinese sover.
eighty In Manchuria is supreme and
furthermore he has supported Ghe pro-
tests of China against the e1s,ablish.
ment by Russia of municipalities in
the railroad o at Hardin and
Chailar and his attitude in this Russo
Chinese difficulty has prompted Rus
STA to seek an explanation of his
course both at the American embassy
here and in Washington.
MIR. Fisher is accredited to China
and since his arrival in Hardin in jan
uary, 1907, he has consistently refused
to recognize or admit that he should
have anything to do with the Russian
administration of the territory. He
has been firm in his assumption that
he was accredited solely to China and
he has declined to act on the sugges-
ton conveyed to him by an official of
the Russian railroad administration
that he should secure the permission
of General Horvath, the Russian gov
ernor Of Hardin, before opening his
consulate or raising the American flag
over the building.
Under the treaty of 1896 Russia
claims exclusive control over the rail
road zone in Manchuria as we'll as the
right to organize Independent self
governing municipalities. The foreign
Office here expresses the belief that it
would be decidedly to the interest of
the United States to recognize the
Russian administration of Manchuria,
inasmuch as foreign residents share in
the privileges Of this administration.
