IM AMERICAN PROTEST
 HAS DONE SOME GOOD
Russia Preparing to Restore to China Certain Rights in Manchuria.

St. Petersburg, April 4.-The Russian government is considering the Issuance of statement formally recognizing China's sovereignty in ManchurIa in safar as is consistent with purely ad- ministrative rights of Russia in the railroad zone. This is thought to be the best way out of the Harbin diff culty which was brought to an issue by the refusal of Mir. Fisher. the Amer ican consul at Harbin to recognize Russian administration in that terri tory
 The press comment of today raises the protest of Consul Fisher to an in ternatiOnaI incident of the first rank Several prominent newspapers devote leading articles to the matter. The Vremya says it is inconceivable that this American protest can be directed against a Russian privilege already realized and must refer to some new pretensiOns included in the Russian scheme, the details of which are inn perfectly known here. The dissatis- faction expressed even by Russians shows conclusively that the new reg uiations must fail to satisfy the needs of the local population.
 Inasmuch as American interests are concentrated in the south and not in the north of China the paper con- tinues, the American protest really concerns Japan rather than Russia The way of Russia is clear. She must not complicate her position in the Orient. but must maintain a status quo and avoid any step that would in volve revision of the existing order of things. which are a guarantee of Russia's friendly relations with China and JaDan

 A TROUBLE MAKER
Chief Plenty Coos Stands Up For the Agent of the Crows

Washington, April S.-Chief Plenty Coos of the Crow Indian tribe testifiei today before the senate committee on Indian affairs. In response to ques- tions he denied many statements of Mrs. Helen Pierce Gray, that many Indians were mistreated by Major Rey holds, the government agent. Plenty Coos explained the manner of his tribe in farming lands and told of the re- turn of the tribe to the agent. Major Reynolds
 He'expressed his belief that Reynolds was the best agent the Crows had ever had, in that he helped the Indians tu help themselves. The chief denied that Reynolds interferred with the members of the tribe in selling their stock and produce for the best prices obtainable. In other ways he praised Reynolds but

WAITING ON ERIE
 STATt OF SUSPENSE
Stock Traders Awaiting a Settleme mt of Railroad Troubles.

New York, March 4.-The stock market today did little more than mark time in accordance with it's evil dent purpose to refrain from any ex- tensiVe commitments in the market until the situation of the Erie prob lem is cleared up by a formal ane- nouncement. There were some signs that few issues were in slow liquida- tion. especially copper securities. Steel was firm. The resistance of this stock to pressure, in contrast with its heav- mess during the week, had some sym pathetic effect on the selling list. Ru- mors Of the Erie settlement helped late rally to a firm closing. Bonds were steady.

TAKES ALL BONDS
English Syndicate To Complete
Building Of the C. & M. to
: Milwaukee at Once
DETROIT MAN AS RECEIVER

At a single stroke the $1,000,000 is
use of receiver s certificates for the
completion of the Chicago and Milwau-
kee Electric Railway has been placed;
the concurrence of practically all of the
security holders has been obtained; the
necessary funds become Immediately
available, and the project first under
taken by A. G. Frost and company will
be brought to completion sometime in
July.
AS part Of the arrangement making
possible the early completion of the
new interurban line that is to link Chi
cage with Milwaukee, George G.. Moore
fof Detroit has accepted appointment as
one of the receivers Of the road, such
an appointment having been necessitat-
ed by the resignation of Hedge A. Hau-
gan, president Of the State Bank of
Chicago.
English capital will complete the Chi
/ cago and Milwaukee line The certi-
fcates have been taken by the Invest
ment Registry, limited of London, who
were represented in Chicago in the
negotiations by A. LoWenfeld.
This company previously had placed
among its clientele in England $780,
| 600 of the bonds of the Chicago and
Milwaukee electric railroad, the Wis
consin corporation. Until now it has
held aloof from the bondholders' com
mittee, formed to cooperate with the
receivers for the conversion of the
interurban property.
The purchase was made at 95 thus
making available $950,000 for the com
pletion of the road. It may be had as
rapidly as needed for the construction.
Work will be begun upon the uncom-
pleted portion Of the road within few
days, as soon in fact, as the engineering
force can be reorganized. It is esti-
mated that less than three months
work remains to complete the under
taking at a cost not to exceed 1896, $50,
the figures named by Engineer Bion J.
Arnold in special report made for the
receivers.
1t is said that the completed road will
be able to give through service between
Milwaukee and Chicago, making but one
change at Evanston, in two hours and
forty five minutes. It will connect with
the Northwestern Elevated road at
Evanston, but eventually it's cars may
be brought over the lines of that com
ipany directly to the loop district with
out transfer.
The court order putting in effect the
certificate sale probably will be enter
ed today in the eastern district of Wis
consin. The order confirming the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Moore also will be
entered today both in Chicago and
| Wisconsin.

HISTORIC INTEREST IN VISION.
SIN RIVER

Since the advent of the first white
men in the territory now known as
Wisconsin, much interest has conferred
about the Wisconsin river. This was
because, first, it was then an important
waterway. It was through the Fox
Wisconsin route Pere Marquette and
Joliet passed from Lake Michigan to
the Mississippi. Twenty years earlier,
it is believed the adventurous Radisson
and his brother n-law passed over the
same route. The Dells of the Wiscon-
sin we're famed among the Indian
tribes of the northwest long before the
white men appeared. No more appro-
pirate place to preserve as state park
than the region Of the Dells could be
conceived. That region is one that is
being considered by the State Park
Board.

Mayor Scholey, Lord Protector Of the

OF ten young women from Kemper Hall
and managed to prevent their losing
money on account of purchase Of tickets
for the circus. The young women had
been given permission to attend the
circus at the afternoon performance and
had purchased tickets. The men in the
wagon were ready and willing to give
them tickets for the night performance,
but could not see their way clear to
return the money. They finally appeal
ed to Mayor scholey and like knight
Of old ne went to the rescue Of the fair

the show that it was necessary to re-
tlrn to the young women the money that
they had paid for tickets. The mayor

MANY SEEK OFFICE
Grand Army Men Throughout the
Country Discussing Election
of Grand Commander
new JERSEY MAN NOW LEADS

Who will be the next commander-in-
chief Of the Grand Army of the Repu-
bile?
This is the question that is being
earnestly discussed in every gathering
of members Of the order in the country
just now. Most of the state encamp-
ment will be held in June or early July
and the sentiment Of the various states
must be pretty well crystalized before
the delegates to the national encamp-
ment are chosen.
The three candidates who already
have announced their ambition for the
honor are: Former Governor S. R. Van
SAINT, Minneapolis; former Attorney
General W, A. Ketchum, Indiana, and
Judge Henry NJ. Nevius, New Jersey.
All of these aspirants have distinguish
ed war records, and all are highly es-
teemed in the order.
Wisconsin delegates to the national
encampment probably will support
Judge Nevius. Indeed it is said by
members of the order that Judge Nevius
will have the backing of nearly all the
states in the middle west as well as in
the east. The reason for this lies of
course to great extent in the personal
popularity Of Judge Nevius, but the
fact that New Jersey never has had a
COMMANDMENTS chief also has weight in
influencing the judgment of Wisconsin
veterans.
Judge Nevius never has been an ac-
tive candidate for communicating chief
before, but for several years his name
always has been mentioned as a man
upon whom the honor would rest ad-
mlrably. He has twice served IS COM
mander of the department of New Jer-
sey, has served on the staff of the COM
mander-in chief and for many years has
been a member of the committee on
rules and regulations at national en-
campments.
He enlisted in the First New York
Gincoln) cavalry in 1861 while reading
law in the Office of the late General
Russell A. Alger, secretary of war in
President McKinley's cabinet. He was
promoted to ieutenancy in the
Seventh Michigan cavalry and after
ward in the Twenty-ffth New York
cavalry. He served faithfully during
the war until July II, 1864, when in
leading his squadron against the Con-
federates under General JubaI A.
Early he lost his left arm before Fort
Stevens, Washington, D. C.
Judge Nevius has been highly honor
ed by his fellow citizens of New Jer-
sey. He has served his state as state
senator, president of the state senate,
judge of the Circuit Court and district
attorney of his home county.

CLOSE YEARS WORK
Women's Club Holds Open Meet,
ing in Carpenters Hall on
Wednesday Afternoon
TALK OF cHINA's EMPRESS

The Women's Club meeting was held
Wednesday afternoon in Carpenter s
Hall on Park street. The room was
we'll filed with members and guests
for this the closing meeting of the
year. A piano duet was very accepta-
bly, rendered by Mrs. Cleveland and
Mrs Peter Fisher, Jr. The excellent
paper by Mrs. Harry Robinson upon
the Empress Of China was chamingly
presented by her sister Mrs. Anise Pal
meter Whitcomb of Fond due Lac.
The paper told thrilling story Of how,
when girl, the Empress was sold to a
cousin Of the Emperor Of China, and
finally reached her exalted position as
wife of the Emperor and later Empress
DoWager, ruling the kingdom. The
many reforms she has brought about
as ruler Of China were dwelt upon, and
her long and able, yet often unscrupul-
GUS career, was wildly pictured in this
very interesting paper.
Various members of the club joined
in the discussion which was led by Mrs.
Trenary in a thoughtful address.
An exhibit of Chinese articles, in
charge of Mrs. Strong, attracted much
attention. The room had been beauti-
fully decorated by the Social commit
tee with Chinese lanterns and spring
flowers, and the Chinese flag, the fami-
liar black dragon on yellow ground,
was conspicuously displayed.

SEEK MISSING WOMAN
Police of Kenosha Asked to Search For
Mrs. Mary German Who Disappeared

The Kenosha police received tele-
phone message from the police of Wau-
kegan this morning asking that they
make an effort to find some trace Of
Mrs. Mary German, a woman nearly
80 years of age who disappeared from
Waukegan during the rain on Tuesday
The old lady started to go to Liberty
vile, but it is thought that she lost
her way. A woman answering the de-
scription Of Mrs. German was seen
walking along the road between Wau-
kegan and Kenosha and it is thought
possible that the old lady started to
walk to this city and has fallen by the
way-side. The local police have not
been able to find any trace of the miss
ing woman in Kenosha.
