WATCHING THE
UNITED STATES
Russia, Japan and China on the
Anxious Bench.
the SOVEREIGNTY or MANCHURlA
The Interference Of the American
Consul Said to Have Made China
Aware Of the Strength of Her Diplo-
matte Position Russia May Reeog-
nize the Sovereignty Of China.

Peking (By Cable) There has come
an awak ening to the possibilities of
the political position OF the United
States in the matter of Russia and
Japan and the sovereignty of Man
churia. This situation has arisen as
a result of the organization and the
activity for a twelvemonth past of
the American special consulal serv-
Ice The situation has been precipi-
tated by two things; first, the refusal
of Fred ID. Fisher, the American con-
sui at Harbin, to recognize the Rus
sian administration of that territory
and his support of the Chinese pro-
test against the establishment by
Russia of municipalities in the rail-
road zone at Harbin and Chailar inde-
pendent of the Chinese government;
and, second, by the reconsideration
of all Manchurian questions which
have been inaugurated recently at
Peking.
The throne fears that Japan is
about to promulgatc ordinances along
the line of the Russian decree, maxi
ing Hardin an Independent munich
pality, for the purpose of converting
all japanese communities in Man
churia into self-governing bodies, and
1t has consequently summoned Fang
Shai-Yi, the governor of Mukden
Province and the chief OF the Man
churian administration, to Peking for
the purpose of disposing of all Man
churian questions in categorical
manner.
Russia and Japan, II is declared
here, are of the opinion that China
NJ hn
strength of her diplomatic position
In Manchuria. and especially at Har-
bin, where Japan supports Russia,
had it not been for the interference
of the consular representative Of the
United States. Last November Rus
sia intimated that Mr. Fisher was re-
sponsible for the attitude of China,
and today ii is declared in Peking
that she regards the United States
as responsible for the present COM
plication over the Harbin munich
pality.
AS for Japan. for six months past
she has been trying at Washington
and elsewhere to counteract the ac-
tivities of American consuls in Man
churia. Just at the present moment
this consular activity is held in check
pending a settlement OF Chinas dip
lomatic contest with the Russo-Jap-
anese coalition for sovereignty in
Manchuria. 1t is known to the
Chinese government that Washington
supports the attitude taken by its
consular representative, and it is no
exaggeration to say that for a year
past the course of the consul has ir-
ritated and disturbed both Russia
and Japan.
The Peking government encour-
ages, and it is glad of what has been
called here American intervention"
in the Manchurian difficulty. The
ruling influence at Peking well under
stands the advantages to be gained
from this American policy in the Far
East, and it has shown its ability to
make use of a situation which is
believed here TO be a direct outcome
of the diplomatic and naval policy Of
America

A NARROW ESCAPE.

New York Especially Hundreds
of persons watched Joseph Bailey, a
steeplejack, exticate himself from a
dangerous predicament at the top
of a 200-foot chimney in Jersey
City. Bailey was sitting on a boat
swain's chair, when gust of wind
swirled the chair and he fell out of 1t.
AS he did so he grasped a rope
which was dangling from the chin
ney top and the wind blew the chair
out of his reach. Several persons
witnessed the mishap and their cries
of alarm attracted the attention OF a
crowd to Bailey as he struggled hand
over hand up the swaying rope tc
the top, where he had barely strength
enough to crawl over the edge

/ New York Especially Announce
ment was made that Andrew Carne-
gle would add s5,00O,000 to the
fund of the Carnegie Foundation, or
whatever sum might be necessary, to
include as pension beneficiares ELI
gible professors of state universities.
No provision was made for this
class of educators in the original gift,
for the reason, stated by Mr.. Car
negie at the time, that the donor
thought 1t possible that such institu-
tions might prefer that their rela-
tions should continue exclusively
with the state from which their chief
support was derived. This view was
not taken by the National Associa-
tion of State Universities, which, in
the year following the establishment
of the foundation, petitioned the
trustees for admittance to the bene-
fits of the retiring allowance system.
1t was then found that the earn
ings of the original fund of 100000
900 were exhausted through the out
let already planned, and that II the
faculties of all state universities were
to be benefited an additional S5,-
situation was placed formally before
Mr.. Carnegie by DR.. Henry S. Prit-
chett, president of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching, on March 81, and on that
same day Mr. Carnegie replied that
the money would be forthcoming for
any state institution whose applica-
tion received the approval of the leg
islature and governor of Its state.
In Five Per Cent. Bonds.
The additional donation will be in
per cent. bonds, providing an added
annual income of quarter of mil
lion dollars and a total for yearly
disbursement of S750,000.
The Carnegie Foundation was es-
tablished by Mr.. Carnegie on April
81, 1905, with a gift of a trust fund
of $4,000, 900 in per cent. fret
mortgage bonds of the United States
Steel Corporation. This fund was
placed in the care of trustees, who
include the presidents of the better
known colleges and universities of
the country.
The revenue of the fund provides
pensions for teachers of universities,
colleges and technical schools in the
United States, Canada and Newfound-
land, who are retired after 20 years
service, or, having reached the age
of 65 years, have taught 10 years
preceding.
From the benefits OF the trust we're
excluded institutions supported by
state or colonial government and
schools under sectarian control.

MINERS OFFER
OLIVE BRANCH
Ask Operators to Meet Them In
Conference.

Columbus, o. Especially. = Ohio
coal mine operators received an in
vitation from President Lewis, of the
United Mineworkers of America, to
when the question of calling joint
conference of miners and operators
of Ohio Indiana, Illinois and West
ern Pennsylvania to revive the inter-
state agreement will be considered.
Representatives of the miners and
the operators of the four states,
which comprise the central compet-
tive field, will attend the conference.
Ohio operators accepted the invita-
tion.
President Lewis said that he had
received a number of replies, most
of which were favorable to the move.
but he had not yet received enough
to determine the result. He is con-
fiedent. however, that the move will
result in a resumption of work, the
rehabilitation OF the interstate move
ment i'm this field and, in conse-
quence, the rehabilitation of the in
terstate movement In the Southwest
field and the outlying districts.
Ohio operators have wired their
acceptance Of the invitation. India
ma operators during the negotiations
this winter have expressed a willing
ness to go into joint conference any
time. The Indiana mines are run
ming. The result will lie In the hands
of Western Pennsylvania and Illinois
operators. To meet the operators
in ntnt %
will summon the district officers of
the miners organization.
Careful estimates from all the min
ing centers In the state show that
nearly 465 mines throughout the
state are idle. 1t is said here that
the operators are not averse to hav.
ing the mines idle, as they have
thousands of tons of unsold coal at
the docks on the lakes. Miners rep
resentatives here generally believe
some compromise agreement will be
reached within week.
According to accurate reports re.
ceived here from all over the Ohio
mining district 10000 workmen of
all kinds in the mines are idle as the
result of the decision of the mine
officials in the central competitive
district to stop work because they
say the operators decline to make
any wage agreement.
The estimate of the men out by
counties follows: Columbiana Coun-
ty, 1000; Vinton County, 500; Hook
ing, 1000; Jackson and vicinity,
5000; Coshocton, 1000; Muskin-
gum, 400; Perry. 5000; Stark,
$500; Athens. 5000; Belmont,
5000; Jefferson, 6,OOO; Meigs. 500.

Of them seriously, and the lives of
nearly a hundred persons were en-
dangered by fire In hve-story tene-

The dead are: Derel Weinstein, his

son. They were suffocated and
burned In their apartments on the
NTH floor. That more lives were
not lost was largely due to the
prompt action of three policemen.
who, seeing flames in the hall, rushed
through the building and aroused
the members of 16 sleeping families.
BY that time the stairways were a
mass of flames and the only means
of exit was by way of the fire es-
capes In their mad attempt to es-
cape from the smoke and flames,
scores of scantily clad men, women
and children crowded the narrow
iron platforms and ladders until they
became wcdged in solid masses, un-
able to extricate themselves and
blocking the way of those who had
not yet succeeded in getting out of
the building.
This was the situation when the
firemen arrived and began to take
the panic-strlcken fugitives from
their perilous position The work
moved forward slowly, as in some
instances the combined efforts of half
Il dozen frcmen we're required to
drag n woman or child from the
tightly packed platforms. In the
meantime the flames had been con-
stantly spreading, and the terror
among the tenants had carried them
past the point of self-restraint. While
flromen on the ladders and others
on the ground were calling out to
them that there was no danger. they
