TREATY PLEASES
|. FLOWERY KINGDOM
China Delivers Reply to the An
nouncement of Recent Russo
Japanese Convention
POINTS OUT SATISFACTION
Expresses Pleasure Over Mutual
Pledge Maintaining Status
Quo in ManChuria
POINTS OUT SATISFACTION
Associated Pressl

PEKING, July 21.-China's reply to
the announcement of-the recently con
cluded Russo-Japanese convention was
delivered at the legations of these two
countries today.
AS had been expected, the Peking
government does not fail To point out
its satisfaction at the expressed pur-
pose on the part of Russia and Japan
TO adhere to the terms of the Ports
mouth treaty, and over the mutual
pledge of the maintenance in ManChu-
ria of the status quo and the principle
of the open door for commercial de-
velopment
In this connection China lays special
emphasis upon article III of the Ports
mouth treaty which reads as follows
Japan and Russia mutually engage:
Il. To evade completely and stimuli
taneously Manchuria, except the terri
tory affected by the lease of the Liau-
tung peninsula in conformity with the
provisions of additional article |, an
neXed to this treaty; and C2l to restore
entirely and completely to the exclusive
administration of China all portions of
Manchuria now in the occupation or
under the control of japanese or Rus
sian troops, with the exception of the
territory above mentioned. The gov
ermnent of Russia declares that it has
not in Manchuria any territorial ad-
vantages or preferential or exclusive
concessions in impairment of Chinese
sovereignty, or inconsistent with the
principle of equal opportunity
After noting that the Russo-Japanese
convention engages to maintain the
previous agreements regarding Man
churia, including its ultimate retro
cession to China. the reply states that
China will act in accordance with the
Portsmouth treaty and the agreement
with Japan Of 1905 which reconfirms
the transfer and assignment made in
the Russo-Japanese treaty and regu-
lating the commercial and railway
interests in Manchuria.
It adds that China will continue her
policy, maintaining with increased eff
forts in matters arising to exercise her
rights of sovereignty and the principle
of equal opportunity in the develop
ment of the commercial and industrial
prosperity of three Manchurian prov
inces with a view to the promotion OF
the best interests of all parties
Copies of the Chinese reply were de-
livered at all legations and to the press
simultaneously
The Chinese government, fearing that
the Russo-Japanese accord may pre-
curse an aggression in Manchuria and
Mongolia against which it cannot make
a successful resistance. seeks in self
defense to give the widest publicity to
the earlier pledges of Russia and
Japan.
1t is generally recognized that the
clauses and phraseology of the plan
were specifically drafted in accordance
with the policy of the United States
to which China looks for a backing.
In accepting the China note II. lin,
Japanese minister to China, assured
the Chinese representatives that Japan
did not contemplate any manner OF
aggression, and added that time would
prove that Japan was the true friend
of China.

SECOND ROBBER
ADMITS HOLDUP
Bishop Tells Same Story as That
Given of Train Looting
by Partner

FAIRFIELD, Cal, July 21.-Carl
Dunbar Bishop Of Kansas City who,
under the name of Charles Dunbar,
was arrested here as a suspect in con-
nection with. the robbery of the China
and Japan fast mail near Benicia,
April II last, today confessed his COM
plicity in the crime, according to
Sheriff ]. J. Mcdonald of Solano coun-
". Bishop admitted that he and
his partner Joseph c. Brown, robbed
the postoffice at Armeda, California,
July 10 last. Brown had previously
confessed the train robbery.
Bishop confessed, it is said, because
he thought Brown was trying to, make
him appear as the man who planned
the robbing of the train. AS matter
of fact Bishop says, Brown laid all
the plans of the robbery, and he also
asserts that Brown has a long crimi-
nal record and once served a sentence
in Kentucky for train robbery. AL
though Brown disclaimed in his con-
fession that he was acquainted in Cali
fOrnia, Bishop says his partner former
ly worked on ranch near here and
was able while they were working in
Texas last winter, to describe the
vicinity In which the robbery eVentu-
ally took place
The theft of some eight-cent stamps
from the Armeda postoffice, led to the
CleW which caused officers here to sus-
pect the men of completely in this rob
berry. Several stamps of this rarely
used denomination We're taken from
the prisoners when they were arrested.
Besides the stamps, the robbers OBJ
tanned about $40 in cash, a shotgun
and some other small articles from the
Armeda office.
Sheriff Mcdonald now thinks that
Brown planned the train robbery.
Bishop is but twenty-three years old
and does not have the appearance Of a
hardened criminal. Brown claims he
is but twenty seven years old, but
the authorities believe this is false.
Bishops story Of the actual robbery
of the train practically corrOborates
that told by F~1wn.

VILLAGES HEMMED IN
BY BLAZING FORESTS

MERRILL Wis, July 21.-Several
hundred persons Of Bloomville and
Heinmann are hemmed in by forest
fires at the former town with SEEM
ingly no, means of escape.
The fires have destroyed the railroad
tracks for some distance between
Bloomvile and Merrill, making it i'm
possible for the inhabitants of the
village to seek refuge in Merrill. The
400 homeless of Heinmann fed to
Bloomville, only to be confronted by
a similar peril.
Gleason, north of Bloomville, is
isolated by the fire and it has been
impossible to get word from there
for several hours. This leaves Bloom
vile with its $50 persons hemmed in
on every side.
The loss in buildings is more than
5000 900.
Several farmers families have not
been accounted for.

THINK THUMB PRINTS
WOULD CONVICT MEN

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-Had
Bishop and Brown not confessed they
robbed the China and Japan mail, po-
lice here believe finger prints evidence
in. their possession would have con-
victed the men.
After the arrest Of the confessed rob-
bers in Sacramento their finger prints
We're taken. Frank II. Depue Of the
local bureau OF Identification COM
pared the impressions with those upon
a shaving mug found in a hut occu-
pied by the robbers near Martinez and
other prints on a shell thrown away
by the holdup men near the scene Of
the robbery. He says the prints tally
in every respect.
When authorities at Fairfield at
tempted to take impressions of
Browns fingers, he tried to blur the
print, police here say.
Army officers here are investigating
a report that Bishop is a deserter.

committed suicide in Golden Gate park
yesterday He was a printer and has
four brothers here. One of these
brothers, Abe Reuben, identified the

wound. Relatives of Reuben say they
know of no trouble the young man had.

RHODE ISLAND BOASTS
428,556 POPULATION
Census Returns Bar Additional
Representative in Congress

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The popu-
lation of Rhode Island, as shown by
today's census returns, the first given
out for a state, indicate an increase
of more than $4,000. This figure is
not sufficiently large to insure an
additional representative in congress.
Thus, for at least ten years more the
state will have to get on with two
members, as it has been compelled to
do since the apportionment under the
first national census in 1890.
By the present system, Rhode Island,
with 42S. 556 population, in the twelfth
census, has one representative to each
214,278 persons. an average of about
II 900 above the requirements of 1913 900.
AS now shown by the thirteenth CEN
sus. the state has $4,000 more people
than are necessary to give two repre-
sentatives.

Mr.. Joseph E. Chamberlain of tn

from the people who live under differ

For one thing, western people ar

with than the people of the east
concerning the differing characterize
les of the people of the east and the

II is clear from the foregoing that

more so with the passing
