RUSSIA SENDS ULTIMATUM
Occupation Corps Within 100
Miles of Chinas Frontier.

~. petersburg. March 13-Russia has
sent an ultimatum to China insis,,ny
upon closer adherence to the provis-
ions or the treaty of 1881. which has
been the subject Of negotiations between
the Two countries for some weeks past.
Ihe Russian occupation CORPS is within a
hundred miles Of the frontier and march,
ing on Kulja
ohi! the immediate execution Of
Chinas s treaty obligations toward Rus
sla can interrupt the advance of the
army which is to occupy kulja Two
brigades of sharpshootcrs. four sotnias
OF Cossacks. two batteries of field guns
and eight batteries Of machine guns were
dispatched from Margelan. in Ferr.:ana,
Turkestan, shortly after the receipt of
China's second reply.
Advices To the War Office Tonight say
that the expedition is within hundred
miles of the frontier. and steadily ad-
vancing, in order to reach the frontier
about the time Of the presentation of
the ultimatum. The Russian force is
considered entirely sufficient to re-
occupy and hold Kulja. as the Chinese
troops, although nomnally 10000 IN
number, actually number bare two
thousand. They are undisciplined and
of diverse equipment. and are without
artillery.
The instructions which the Foreign
Office telegraphed to-day to NJ Koros-
tovetz. the Russian Minister at Peking
contain the ultimatum. This embodies
two points. first, the reopening Of Rus
sian Consulates at the points specified
In the Treaty of 1881 and, second. the
establishment of free trade in certain
products. including tea. in fulflment of
Article - Of the same treaty.
These two points are the ones which
III was announced on February 23 could
be easily adjusted. hut Chinas second
reply completely reversed the concila-
tory attitude of the Prince Regent,
which had led the Russian Minister to
telegraph to his government an assur-
ance Of China's compliance with Rus
sia's demands

more Americans from joining the ranks"
Hope for the safety of the men is held
out by some. because Of the character
Of Colonel Cucllar. who commanded the

His friends believe he would hesitate

Howard Bradstreet. Supervisor OF
Recreation for the Boroughs Of Manhat-

nation to Park Commissioner Stover'
and will leave the Park Department. TO-
morrow. The supervisor receives sal
arv of $1,000. The action of Mr.. Brad
street followed long period Of strained
relationship with Commissioner Stover'
and did not surprise officials In the de-
partment.
When Mr.. Slower created the Office oil
supervisor he appointed Mr.. Bradstreet
10 take charge of the reconstruction OF
the city playground work. At that tirhe
Mr. Bradstreet was connected with the
Parks and Fairgrounds Association. He
had also been active in the support of
Mr.. Stover for the place Of Park Com
missioner. ON beginning work Mr..
Rradstreet let the Park Commissioners
know he had accepted the job tenta-
lively.
The first sign of dissension In the ao-
ministrative work of the recreation pu-
reau came 10 light last fall. In De
cemher It came 10 a head when Mr.
Bradstreet brought some playground at
tendents up on charges of insubor-
dination and inefficiency.
After dallying with the matter. Mr.
Rradstreet said yesterday. Commissioner
Stover did not uphold him, and by fall-
Ing to do so worked n great deal of harm
in the playground organization
After giving number Of the play
ground attendants trial OF nine
months" said Mr.. Bradstreet. "and find
ing they were wholly inefficient for the
work of reconstruction planned by Com
missioner Stover. recommended that
they be dropped. In this, as in the other
matter, the Commissioner did not uphold
me. These attendants were fit only to
do patrol duty. and had been in the de-
partment for years. They had never
passed any modern civil Service eX-
aminations. and were dead wood in the
cIartmout.

Bic Business Comhinations.

In plain antagorism to the pres
ent policy of the administration was
the speech, in Brooklyn the other
evening, by Mr.. Prouty of the inter-
state commerce commission He
has no faith in trust busting" for
the reason that no trust will stay
busted : Running into a reminis-
cent vein, Mr.. Prouty said
The subject is SO truly economic
and social that it cannot be dealt
with by court proceedings and de-
crees When the Northern securi-
ties decision was rendered the press
and people expressed great JOY that
railroad monopoly had at last been
broken. | expressed the view out
west, however, that the courts le=
cree would no more affect the rail-
road situation in the Northwest than
If it had never been rendered. Much
to my surprise | found my remarks
quoted extensively in the daily press
of the East, and when | reached
Washington was taken severely to
task by your energetic citizen who
was then president. But events AMI
developments have fully verified my
predictions. N either did other decis-
ions subsequently rendered against
industrial trusts affect in the least
the operations of what has come to
be known as "big business" 1t is
after all not the monopoliZation of
trade through restraint of trade
that does the mischief, but monopo
lization trough unfair methods Of
competition.
Mr.. Prouty's remedy is govern
ment regulation of the big industrial
corporations. "a commission
should be appointed, in most re-
spects similar to the interstate COM
merce commission. Just as in the
case of the railroads, the way to reg
ulate industrial monopolies is for
the government to take hold and
regulate them ITSELF President
Taft's recent speeches, however, do
not indicate that he favors such
a program, although in his speech
IF acceptance as presidential csn-
didate he tilted that way Appar-
emily, he now breads the socialistic
tendencies of close government reg
ulatin trusts, AMI prefers to destroy
them if possible.
