RUSSIA'S PROPOSAL.
Presents an AIternQtiUe Rail-
road Plan for Manchurid.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 24.-An alternative
to the railroad plan set forth in the second
part OF Secretary Knox's recent note to the
powers may be expected from the Russian
government soon. The American memo
randun. in addition to proposing the
naturalization of the Manchurian railways.
announced that a syndicate, composed Of
Americans and Englishnen, had secured
frcm China a concession for the construc-
ton of a railroad from Aigun. in Northern
Manchuria, to Chinchow. and that the gov
ernments of Great Britain and the United
States proposed to support the enterprise
automatically.
Russia rejected the naturalization pro-
posal. but took the second suggestion under
further advisement before deciding whether
it would approve the plan and share in the
financing involved. AS result of its de-
liberations the government will propose an
alternative proposition.
Russia will suggest that instead of the
proposed Atgun-Chinchow railroad there
shall be constructed another transition
golian line further westward. striking the
transSiberian railway near the Baika1
line. and which, with the extension from
Peking to Kalgan. will traverse Urga and
Kiakhta, avoiding the desert between Kali
gan and Urga by a wide detour westward
to Puyuanchen. This route would not be
open to the strategic objections to the
Aigun line, since it touches the Russian
railroad at a point where Russian troops
could be easily assemb bed
The Foreign Office processes to believe
that the line 1t suggests would be far more
profitable than the Aigun project, since 1t
would follow the great caravan route over
which all land exports to Europe pass.
The interested powers will be sounded as
a preliminary to the advancement of the
formal proposal.
Paris, Feb. 24-The reply OF the French
government to Secretary knoxs proposal
for the naturalization Of the Manchurian
railways which was communicated TO
Washington two weeks ago. follows the

J4PAN'S LAND Law.
Liberal as to Foreigners
Shd5g's SDeech Disturbing.

Toxic, Feb 24.-Foreign Minister ko-
mura, speaking in the Diet to-day on the
land ownership bill, said that the govern
ment desired the passage of the measure
because it was in accordance with the
usage of civilized nations in which foreign
ers were permitted to own land without re-
striction. He said that change In the
japanese law was necessary, as Japan was
about to- make new treaties
The proposed law permits the ownership
of land in this country by such foreigners
only as come from country which eA-
tends similar privileges to Japanese resi-
dents.
Americans will be given the right of own
ership in this country notwithstanding the
restrictions placed upon japanese by Ger
tain states of the Union.
Special dispatches to the newspapers
from the United States report recru-
descence of the anti-Japanese movement at
San Francisco To-day all of the local pa
pers featured the speech of Leslie NJ ShaW,
former Secretary of the Treasury, in which
he is reported as having said that war be-
tween the United States and Japan was IN
evitabIe. The speech has caused q most
gloomy impression among Japanese and
foreigners alike.
The specials quote Major General J.
Franklin Bell as having said that war pc
tween the two countries was likely to break
out at any moment. The press and the
public are unable to understand the reasons
for these violent utterances.
The "Asah1 Shimbun and the Jill
Shimpo" print long specials from San Fran
cisco. quoting from Mr. Shaw's speech be-
fore the Washington Association in New
Jersey at Morristown, n. j., on last Tues
day. Commenting upon this speech the
papers remark the coincidence In the re-
ceipt of these dispatches at a time when
preparations are being made at Yokohama
and in this city for reception TO the seven
hundred Americans aboard the steamer
Cleveland, which is due at fokohama To-
morrow morning. Editorially the papers
repudiate the suggestion that Japan Is
seeking the control of the Pacific anu
declare that American competition Will De
welcomed.
San Francisco. Feb 24-While there has
been nothing in the nature of a renewed
anti-Japanese movement in this city oi
state, the special dispatches from San
Francisco mentioned having been re-
ceiyel in Toxic are believed to have been
inspired by a resolution adopted by the
Ia bor council advising all unions not 10
unionize or permit their members 10 work
in houses where Oriental labor is EN-
ployed.'
Washington, Feb. 24.-Major General Bell.
chief of staff, was shown the dispatch from
Toxic quoting him. on the authority OF Ger
tain special correspondents, TO the effect
that war neLween America and Japan was
likely to break out a any moment.
In the presence of Secretary of war
Dickinson, who gave his approval OF the
statement. General Bell declared emphatl-
caIly that he had never anywhere made
any such declaration, and that there was
absolutely no Justification for it.

Stael Range SWindIers.

VOID has reached this Office that a
gang OF fellows are canvassing this and
neighboring territory selling steel
ranges. Ifyou know when you are we'll
off you will let these fellows severely
alone. We understand their game is to
ask $7S for their ranges. but they will
take the stove in use and allow you
your own price for it. This probably
might look good to some people, but
there is where the catch comes in. The
unsuspecting purchaser signs note for
$7s, which is turned over and credit
supposed to be given on the back for
the amount agreed upon for the old
stove, but it has transpired that two
notes were clevsrly stuck together and
when the note turns up at the bank q
little later it is for the full amount, tho
credit having been placed on the back
of the note that was neatly fastened to
the original note. We believe our peo-
pie will cut these travelling fakers out.
Deal with the home people, who pay
taxes here and assist in keeping up our
roads, etc.-Trenton Register.
