RUSSIA Is NOTIFIED.
This Country's Attitude on Admins
tration of Hardin.

The Russian government has been In
formed of the views of the State Depart
ment respecting the administration of that
portion of Hardin, Manchuria. controlled
by the Chinese Eastern Railway Compa-
ny. and brought into question by the at
titude of American Consul General Fisher,
In maintaining that he is accredited ex-
clusively to China, and consequently una
BILE to recognize any other authority in
Hardin. These views. which have been
embodied in note prepared by Secretary
Root and transmitted to ST. Petersburg
through Baron Rosen, the Russian am
bassador. show that the attitude which
Consul General Fisher has maintained is
entirely consistent with. and not preju-
dlcial to- the relations which exist be-
tween China and the railroad company.
1t is stated that no new instruction will
go to Mr.. Fisher as a result of the ne
got1atlons between St. Petersburg and
washington. and that the position of the
United States government remains pre-
cisely as heretofore.
On that point emphasis is given the
statement that this government is in no
way involved nor has 1t taken any posi-
ton with respect to the relations between
the Chinese and Russian governments or
China and the railroad company 1t is
conceded that such questions are primari-
ly and exclusively the subject of negotia-
lions between Russia and China; that the
duty Of this government is simply to abide
by announced results of such negotiations.
as 1t is endeavoring to do in the present
instance.
That the question of administering the
government of Hardin is one
which can be worked out satisfa ctorily Is
the opinion of officials here cOnversant
with the many problems involved 1t is
also an expressed opinion of local officials
that too great Importance has been at
tached to the negotiations which have
been under way recently. especially in
view of the expressed belief that moth
Ing has grown out of these negotiations
that can In the slightest degree becloud
the relations between this government and
any of the others concerned.
From information obtainable it is evil
dent that the basic question is one which
will receive ultimate adjustment through
negotiations between ST. Petersburg and
Picking.

EAST END SUBURBS.
Members of Citizens Association
Transact Business.

The East End Suburban Citizens Asso-
citation put itself on record last evening
as opposed to an extension of the charter
of the Washington. Spa Spring and Gretta
railway, either in the county or city. The
company has charter to build on Bla-
densburg road and is now seeking an ex-
tension in the city. President William II.
Ernest made a report as chairman of the
executive committee.
"a bill to extend the charter privileges
of the company in the District he said,
was introduced by Representative Sgd
ney E. Mudd March Z, and by it's terms
the company is given the right 10 enter
the city by way of Maryland avenue to
F street, thence west on F street to Sth
street northeast to connect with the Union
station over the proposed new lines c. the
Capital Traction Company. Another
branch of the line extends south on 18th
street east to Georgia avenue southeas
thence southwest to NJ street. thence west
on NJ street to the steamboat wharves.
understand a ninety-day option has been
given New York and Chicago capitalists
to finance, build and operate the line. and
from present indications the outlook is
bright for the future of the road"
By the terms of the amendment the
company is given three years in which to
construct the extension. Mr.. j. A. Rup-
pert. chairman of the street extension
committee. SAID he lnlnkS IL would be
very unWise to pass such a bill and thus
virtually mortgage Maryland avenue for
period of three years. during which time
neither the Capital Traction Company nor
any other company could build on the
avenue. 1t was decided to disapprove
the bill President Ernest reported that
the section of track laid at the District
line in Bladensburg road had not been
taken up and removed as reported, but is
covered with about foot of macadam
and remains in the roadway where laid"
The condition of Park street from
Bladensburg road to Ellis street and of
NJ street from Summit street to 2Sth
street was complained of as being prac-
ticaly impossible and a resolution was
adopted requesting the Commissioners to
set aside at least $500 to be made i'm
mediately available for the repair of these
streets.
On motion of Hugh F. McQueeney, the
association approved the action of the

The bird lover who would get any.

ern bird is of rather rtiring disposi-

1t stealthily and with much the air of

manner in the east fits his calling.
All through tie middle western coun.
try the bluejay is bird of the door,

parently is unaware of the fact that
his brilliant plumage makes him an
easy mark for boys target rifles and

1t is the very commonness of the

the bird breeds contempt in the small

nests in the trees in the dooryard,
steals things from the household and
carries on war with the family cat.
1t is hard to determine just how
much damage the bluejay does by
pilfering the eggs and numbering the
young of the song birds. The diff.
Guilty in determining the damage
arises from the fact that the jay is
bad in streaks." You may watch him
for month and never detect him in a
