Uncle Sam Is to Test the Open Door

When the recent convention be-
tween Russia and Japan was sprung
on the world American diplomats ex-
pressed little surprise. The govern.
ment has believed from the first there
is q secret article in this convention
which has not been made public. It is
felt the unpublished portion is an
agreement on the part Of the two ma
tions to support each other in barring
other nations from the territory In
question. The United States intends
to force Russia's hand and determine
whether such secret bargain exists.
Tt e concession granted to the English
American syndicate was for the con-
struction of the Chin-Chow-Aigun rail-
rot line. English capitalists were to
furnish the funds and the materials
were to be built IN America.
There Is one drawback to the situa-
ton from the standpoint Of this gov
ernment England for some unknown
reason. is weakening. Her enthusiasm
for the joint undertaking cooled per-
ceptibly after Russia had entered an
objection Diplomats seem to think It
quite likely that the United States Will
have to make the fight single-handed
to keep Manchuria open with equal op-
uortunity to all nations.

ernment supervision. ports where the
importation of the drug is prohibited
The first realization Of the serious
ness of the opium trafic SO far as the
United States Is concerned came when
the government started to put the
Philippines in order. An attempt to
regulate the unlimited traffic there
called for the appointment Of COM
mission. The commission In tracing
the many Americans engaged in the
opium trade found that the United
States, with some 100000 American
users Of smoking opium, to say moth
ing Of the Chinese users here, pre-
sented almost as serious question
as the insular possessions. Since that
time the United States has led the
fight among the powers against the
drug
About year ago O law absolutely
prohibiting the importation into this
country of opium for any except medi-
cinal purposes was passed. But there
are now about 150. 900 Americans using
the drug. and In spite Of the prohibi-
tory statute about $4,000 pounds Of
smoking opium In smuggled into this
country annually.

Tattoo Suggested for Army Horses

A third marking takes place when the
horse Is sent from the army remount
depot to the troop or battery. and Il
must be renewed from time to time.
1t is Captain Conrad's idea that q
more enduring designation could be
accomplished by applying a mark to
the inside of the upper lip Of the
horse. He has devised an instrument
for this purpose, and suggests the use
of India ink, with the result that the
numeral adopted will be indelible.
This will require, Of course, o regular
system Of marking so that there may
be no duplicates. By this means q
horse accepted for military service
viii keep its number. 1t may be nee
essary to have legislation to prevent
tampering with the designation or ma
king use of q similar mark In the case
of horses not used In the military
service
Captain Conrad's quest is expected
to lead to several important acquisi-
tions during the coming year. BY this
method the middleman Is avoided, and
lorses are obtained at a much lower
price than under the contract system
Besides, there Is a better opportunity
Of selection, and controversies are
avoided which SO often have prevailed
between the government representa-
tiyes and the contractors who fail to
comply with specifications In the do
livery of military animals.

PRESIDENT TAFT
DEFINES POSITION

Col Roosevelt

Taft had no hand In the trickey
at the meeting of the Republican state
committee whereby w. L. Ward, Ma
tional committeeman; Ex-LieutcAant-
Governor and State Chairman Time
thy L. Woodruff, William Barnes. Jr.,
the Albany leader, and Speaker James
Wadsworth succeeded in having n me-
ton adopted naming Vice President
Sherman as the temporary chairman
of the Republican convention in place
Of Col. Roosevelt, but in q letter 70
ceived by Chairman Griscom, OF the
Republican County committee, Il was
made plain that Mr.. Taft insisted that
before any choice was made By the
committee, Mr.. Roosevelt should be
consulted.
Mr.. Taft, over the long distance tale
phone and by means Of telegraph mes
sages, had expressly told the leaders
of the regulars, as the WoodruG-
Barnes combination like to call them
selves, that II there was any disaRee-
tion likely to arise at the meeting. hiS

the contrary, In the interest Of A&P-

nothing to do with the turning down
Of Mr.. Roosevelt by the state eom-

II the regulars persist IN tAeiH d.
termination to endeavor TO have Mp.
Sherman elected as temporary chair
man of the state convention, they win
have a bigger fight on their hands
than they expect. It was SAID By Nv.
Griscom that In many Of the up-staSe
counties, the primaries will show that
the vote of the leaders who sided with
the Sherman resolution, does net in
dicate the feelings Of the majority Of
the voters of those districts.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt had net
made up his mind following the vst9
at the state committee meeting. n can
be asserted that in view Of Mr.. faft'S
explanation of his attitude, Mr.. Reese
welt will not only fight for the pre-
gressives platform, but viii allow him

against Mr.. Sherman for temporary
chairman of the convention. RY.

CREMATED IN A WRECK
Many Lives Lost in a Railway
disaster in Michigan.

Eight bodies were taken from the
wreck of Grand Trunk train No. IA,
Chicago to Montreal, which was struck
by No. near Durand, Mich.
The wreck Immediately caught fire
and many Of the bodies were cremated
almost beyond recognition. Nearly all
the dead were in the rear sleeper at
tached to No. IA.
More than q score Of passengers and
trainmen were injured, some probably
fatally.
The following persons are known
dead: Mrs. Elizabeth Gilpin, James
Harold Squire, her son, all Of Chicago;
Miss SwinSer, a trained nurse, and
Mrs. Alma Woodward of Belfield, N. d.
The wreck was one of the worst in
point of horror In the history of rail
roading In Michigan. Although only
one car was demolished, nearly
every one Of the passengers in the
car was killed, and OF those not
killed outright only one escaped seri-
Gus or fatal injury. He was Clinton
A. Davis, Montreal man travelling
with his mother, who was Ill, and a
trained nurse. Both women were
killed.
That the wreck was due to gross
criminal carelessness Is the belief OF
local authorities based on the infor
nation obtainable from the trainmen
themselves. Train No. IA from ChicH
to Montreal and other eastern points
had trouble with its engine and was
stopped to make repairs. Il was then
that train No. 4, also from Chicago
crashed into the rear end OF the stalled
train.
Charles Spencer, of Battle Creek
engineer Of the second train, said that
the only information he had that an.
other train was stopped ahead was
when he hit torpedo within only a
few yards of the other train. He said
there were no tail lights on No. II.
Spencer escaped death by jumping,
but his fireman, George Nelson, of Bat
tie Creek, was caught in the crash
and fatally aca1ded

ORDER OF EAGLES
GUSTS a OFFICERS
Charged with Graft in Handling
Money Orders.

The trial committee at st. Louis of
the Fraternal Order of Eagles, after
q forty-eight hour session, has re-
ported to the Grand Aerie convention
at the Olympic theater, finding of
guilty in the case of four men who
are charged with graft in handling
the money orders in the purchasing
of supplies. On viva voce vote the
men were expelled from the order.
The trial committee asked that
only three of the men be expelled, Ed
ward Kraus, of Wilmington, Del;
Martin Gray, of New Haven, Conn,
and Thomas Hayes, Of Newark, N. j.
Kraus was formerly grand worthy
president and the others are members
Of the grand worthy officers bench.
The committee found that Bernard
J. Monogahan, although possibly con-
versant with the discrepancy during
his term of Office, was not necessarily
to be expelled After the viva voce
vote had expelled the other three,
members from all parts of the hall
arose to make motions to oust Mono
gahan.
The charges upon which the four
men were expelled were that in deal
ing with Aeries in the purchase Of
supplies they were mixed up in a
money affair which amounted to about
t6,400.
San Francisco Eagles who are at
tending the convention, are enthusias-
tic over the prospects of Theodore
Bell, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of California. Not only are
they predicting his election as gov
ernor, but they have already started
a boom for Bell for the vice presidency
in 1872
After the Bell-Hering forces had
won another victory in changing the
constitution to read so that the vice
president no longer becomes president
the next year, Grand Worthy Presi-
dent Frank E. Herring fell from his
chair at the meeting and was picked
up from the Olympic theater stage in
q faint and carried to his hotel.
