is NOT VIOLATED
Open Door Policy in China Re-
spected by Japan, Secre-
tary Knox Holds.
NO MONOPOLY MAINTAINED
Mining Operations Along South Man.
churian Railway Declared to
Be Regular.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The treaties
entered into by China and Japan as to
the operation Of coal mines along the
South Manchurian railway and the An
tung- g-Mukden railroad do not create
monopolies, and hence are not viola
tions of the "open door" or the equal
opportunities" principles, to the OBJ
servance of which all the leading pow
ers are pledged. This is the conclusion
reached by the state department.
Issues Statement.
The department has issued the fol
lowing official statement:
'In view of the widespread. publicity
of the statement that the recent Chin
ese-Japanese agreement relating to
Manchuria created for Chinese and
Japanese subjects a monopoly to carry
on mining operations along the South
Manchurian railway and Antung-Muk-
den railway, which would exclude
Americans from an extensive field of
industrial enterprise, inquiry has been
made of the two signatOry powers and
official assurance has been received
SdCn 10 LHe eueCI ludL no SUCH
exclusive claim to mining rights was
intended by the agreement; and that,
if minerals are found by Americans
and others within the designated ter
ritories, no objection will be made to
their working the mines under conces-
sions granted by China-the whole
scope and purpose of the agreement
being that any operation by Chinese
and Japanese subjects of the mines
within the territory mentioned should
be joint as between themselves"
Diplomats Lnud Knox Decision.
Secretary Knox has given this whole
matter his closest personal attention
and his conclusion is commended in
diplomatic circles as fair and states
manlike, and as of great Importance, in
view of the explosive" possibilities of
the situation.
The particular provision of the treat
les which the state department has had
under consideration relates to certain
mines along the South Manchurian and
Antung- -Mukden railways. AS to these
mines. 1t is provided that when they
are worked by either Chinese or Jap
anese subjects they are to be conduct
ed as joint enterprises between the
two, after delimitation by a joint COM
mission and receiving the approval of
the Chinese government.

SUGAR FRAUD PROBE MAY START AN
UPHEAVAL LIKE The INSURANCE QUIZ

through the determination and infiu-
ence of Theodore Roosevelt that the
investigation and prosecution of the
sugar frauds was undertaken. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Loeb, he had talked
over the matter with Mr.. Roosevelt
thoroughly before he (Loeb) took
charge of the customshouse here,
and consequently he had a we'll de-
fined policy mapped out when he as
sumed office.
Sugar Stock Drops.
Declines in stocks of the American
Sugar Refining company, the great
corporation under fire, were recorded
yesterday as the investigation pro-
ceeded. This same company not long
ago paid back to the government
more than 100000 recompense for
short weights, while later it settled
out of court a civil suit brought by
the Pennsylvania Refining company,
a small rival which it put out of bus
mess. This settlement is now under
going final adjustment and 1t was
upon the strength of evidence pro-
duced at the trial that the govern
ment brought an antitrust suit, only
to be checked by a ruling on the stat
ute of limitations.

May Equal Insurance UphenvaI.

New York, Nov. 16.-While the
legal machinery of the government
moves slowly, the air Of uncertainty
which surrounds the so-called sugar
fraud cases is interpreted by those
who followed the progress of corpor-
alton investigation in this country
to foreshadow an inquiry which may
rank with the insurance upheaYal
of 1905.
Boston and Philadelphia were
brought within the scope of the in
vestigation yesterday with the report
that the government probably would
attempt to obtain back duties due on
sugar in those cities, while the inves-
tigation went on in New York with
repeated rumors of reaching the

the government in the cases, declin-
ed to discuss this talk of prosecuting
