st. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-THE Novoe
Vremya, in discussing today the an
nounced purpose Of Russia to make q
military demonstration in Ill province
in Chinese Turkestan, describes the
note presented at Peking by Minister
Korotoviz as q semi-ultimatum. as it
does not specify the terms within
which China must comply with the
demands of st. Petersburg. The
paper adds, however, that IL the
Chinese government fails to act be-
fore the lapse of fortnight, the semi
ultimatum will be amplifed.
When under the treaty Of 1881 Rus.
sia withdrew from the Ill region, 1t
was in consideration of certain politi-
cal and trade concessions in that and
the adjoined Chinese possessions. It
is now asserted that China has not
kept faith in the matter Of the treaty

SENATE WORKING

The Direct Election Of Sena-

Body

Washington, Feb. 17.-The senate
lost no time today in getting to work
on the Joint resolution providing for
a constitutional amendment authoriz-
ing the election Of United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people.
While there was no agreement to this
effect the friends Of the measure
we're very hopeful that during the
day q vote would be reached on the
Switzerland amendment giving con-
gress control over the senatorial
elections. Senator Raynor Of Mary
land took the floor promptly. He
gave most of his attention to the
amendment. In the main his address
was legal in character and he quot
eed literally from the decision of the
courts to sustain his Views. He con-
tended that without the Switzerland
provision the federal government had
the right to protect voters against
fraud or intimation. He therefore
appealed to the supporters Of the
original proposition not to burden 1t
with any amendment like the pend
ing proposition as such action would
imperil the success Of the resolution

Colonies Would Cheer
Hon. Winston Churchill said there
was no colony In the whole of Brit
aims dominions that would not shout
with loyal and enthusiastic Joy on
hearing that Ireland had home rule,
and not one whose relations with the
mother country would not be more in

English people and rally the Irish ma
tion around the. monarchy 1t would

Rt. Hon. Sir Edward Carson said:
I'VE all know perfectly we'll that sep
aration between us and any Of the self
governing colonies does not depend
on ourselves, but on them and 80 it

would not accept solution under

VIM. O'Brien's Support
VIM. O'Brien did not doubt that
home rule ultimately would come. He
doubted the possibility of carrying the
measure in the present parliament,
however. but promised the premier the
hearty cooperation Of his party.
Augustine BirreH, chief secretary
for ireland, in summing up the debate
said that Ireland alone could deal
adequately with her own affairs.
"They could not do. justice to Ire
land on the boor of this house," the
secretary said. He promised that the
government home rule scheme would
be placed before the house as soon as
the parliament bill had passed. =.

JUDGE BUM IS
THE new JUSTICE
Succeeds Late Justice Jaggard
on the Minnesota Supreme
Court Bench

St. Paul. Feb. E-Governor Eber-
hart has sent 10 the senate the oficial
appointment Of Judge George L. Bum
Of Ramsey county as associate justice
Of the supreme court to fill the vacan-
cy caused by thel death Of Edwin A.
Jaggard. j;
The appointment Of Associate jug
tice Bum will be- for two years, al
though there were nearly six years
remaining Of thesterm- Cor which JUS
tice Jaggard waa.flected. Under the
constitution an xas1intment Of a su-
prone or district court judge holds
only until the next election, when q
successor is elected. Whoever be-
cones Judge Bunn's successor on the
district bench will also have to seek
reelection at the next election, al
though Bum had just started. on a
six year term. = -.
Only, Democrat In Bunch
This leads to speculation as to
what the next Republican convention
will do in Judge Bunn's case. Last
summer the convention refused to
endorse the the non-partisan judi
ciary and nominated Republican in
place Of Justice O'Brien, who had
been appointed by Governor johnson.
Judge Bum also is a Democrat but
was appointed by Republican COVER
nor, which may make some difference.
Although Judge Bum bears the name
of Democrat he has taken little If
any part in partisan politics since ne
went on the bench.
The appointment of successor to
Judge Bum on the district bench
probably will be a more difficult mat
ter than was the appointment Of JUS
tice Jaggard's successor. A large
number. Of lawyers have ambitions to
go on the bench and they and their
friends may be expected to get busy.

the coming decision of the supreme

Personally, I believe In recproci-

boundary between the two countries,
nothing but an imaginery line, and
there is no reason why two nations
so situated should have closer trade
relations.

after being placed in the cell and said
no doubt he would be out again in
