Comes n. Surprise.

Washington February i6.-Notice
OF Russia's intentions regarding China
reached the State Department to-day
through the American embassy at ST.
Petersburg. IT appears that the Rus
sian government. wearicd OF what 1t
regards as persistent disregard by
China of her treaty obligations to-
wards Russia, is bout 10 bring pres
sure 10 bear toHenforce her rights, even
TO The extent OF military demonstra-
ton in the province or iii. the seat of
the present trouble. The Russian gov
eminent promises the Anne rican emba s. =
to acIuaint 1t with particulars OF the
Indictment against China.
The whole incident comes a S a great
surprise to the diplomatic service in
Washington for, although it was known
that sharp issues had arisen between
Russia and China over conflicting
claims OF Jurisdiction in Manchuria
and in connection with commercial
privileges in Mongolia, the situation
was not regarded as critical, and is
generally was believed that in view OF
the deplorablc conditions existing in
China as a result of the frightful
famine and the terrible rsvages of
the plague. Russia would generously
defer pressing her claims.
CHM Unprennred.
s
latest move Of the Russian govern
ncnt, is the confident belief in .diplo-
matte circles here. for it generally is
understood that the Chinese are totally
unprepared to meet such foe as Rus
STA at this juncture. So 1t is expect
ed that China will appeal TIC, the powers,
including America, for fair play. What
amount OF support she will receive
cannot safely be foretold. 1t is pointed
out here that this government cannot
| act until ii has examined the conten-
ton on both sides, and before Amer
| lea could intervene in behalf of China.
1t must first make sure that that coun-
try was guiltless of such disregard Of
her treaty obligations as would war
rant the Russian menace
should 1t be found that there Is
ground for such action. it Is entirely
possible that the State Department may
use It's good Offices TO avert war or the
working Of great Injustice upon China
by suggesting a reference of the #issues
| between Russia and China to The
Hague tribunal.

Startling Charges Made Against

Voters: Civic League.

Pittsburg. Pa, February 16.-Graft
In the Pittsburg School Board as ex-

the District Attorney. who, after read.
ing the bulletin, said he would wait
to ascertain If the league would make
information and take UP the prosecu.
ton of the alleged Offenders as it did
in the councilmanic graft cases last
spring.
The league declares that it intended
to prosecute the Offenders but they
were so numerous that the arrest OF
all would clog the wheels Of justice
The bulletin is therefore given the
public as warning to the wrong
doors that they might mend their ways
The names Of the individual mem
bers of the school board are not

joritysare gamblers. bartenders, saloon

The charge is made that grating
through contracts is prevalent TO such
ar, extent that 1t cannot he described.
a few cases cite that as low as S25

as $1,000 for votes to place contracts
On one contract Of 100000. it is as

Teachers have been forced to pay
for their appointments, janitors and

thing else failed the grating direc-
tors can always borrow money from

"School picnics have. become popula r
in recent years, especially with the
lower wards OF the city. II is illegal
to spend school funds for such pur-
poses. Some OF these school picnics
have been nothing more than drunken
orgies for the directors and their dis
solute and disreputable friends Chill
dren from the schools have been taken
to picnics with notorious men and wo-
men. They have seen drunken wo-
men on the dancing platform and
gamblers plying their vocation on the

f,n Intention by Russia to bring pres
sure 20 bear upon China because of a !
legged Violations of the Russo-Chinese
treaty. That the situation was acute,
however, has been denied, both by the
Chinese Foreign Board and by the
Russian legation at Picking.
!! 1t has been admitted that there were
differences in the interpretations Of the
international agreement as made at st
Petersburg and ut Peking. The treaty
| adopted in 1881. expires this month, and
it has bcenreported that China was un-
willing to renew It. at least not without
certain notifications. The exchanges
have been closely guarded by both pow
ers, and what stage the negotiations
have reached was not indicated until
yesterday, when the ST. Petersburg Ga
zette announced that an important con

OUTCOME.

Washing tomb, c., February 1G.-The
Canadian reciprocity measure will be
considered BY the Senate Committee on
Finance a special session to be held
on Saturday. It's not likely that the
bill will be disposed of in the COM
mittce in one CAY, although all its
members are agreed that action shall
not be delayed unnecessarily. Senator'S
Lodge and Smoot, who are members of
the committee, to-day assured Presi-
dent Taft that the bill would not be
snlothered in committed, regardless of
how much opposition there might be
to ii.
From present indications the bill will
be returned to the Senate about We'd
nesday, and certainly not later than
Thursday 1t may be that 10 report
either favorable or adverse, will be
male upon It, chiefly for the reason that
the objections which members of the
committee hold to the measure lead

members of the committee feel that 1t
would be better to submit the whole

the right to pursue whatever course
their individual opinions may suggest
when 1t is considered on the floor. How
