MAY ASK FOR Intervention
Washington View of the Russo-Chinese
Situation

Washington, Feb. 21.-The Chinese
government apparently has determined
to contest the demands of the Russian
government in the matter of extension
of trade relations and the recognition
of special privileges in the province OF
Iii, Northwestern China.
The Chinese legation here has in
formed the state department that the
Chinese foreign office at Peking has
addressed a note to the st. Peters
burg foreign Office, replying to the ulti
matum threatening military demon
stration in TurBestan.
The Chinese note, in substance, Is q
sweeping denial of the charges made
by the Russian government that China
has violated the provisions of the
treaty of 1881, so far as they relate t6
consular offices and the rights of Rus
sian merchants in the Northwestern
provinces of China.
The Chinese legation so far has
contented itself with supplying the
state department with brief state
ment of the Chinese reply and has
asked further instructions from Pekins
before endeavoring to enlist the gooo
Offices of America in adjusting the
dispute with Russia.

CH|NA'S REPLY
Unsatisfactory
Russia Concentrating Force
on the Frontier.
DEMANDS UNWARRANTED

Celestial Empire Declares That to
Grant Request of Cars Government
Would Give to the Latter a Com
merciai Monopoly in Mongolia,
Even to the Exclusion of Chinese
Trade.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 21.-China's
"ultimatum," unsatisfactory in almost
all of it's conclusions, has been re-
ceived here.
The answer falls so far short OF
Russia's demands that the war Office
has already concentrated large Rus
sian force on the frontier, preparatory
to seizing the Kuldja district of Chi
nese Turkestan.
China says that to grant Russja's
demand would give the latter a com
mercial monopoly in Mongolia, even
to the exclusion of Chinese trade.
The third article in Russia's note
dem anded:
Freedom to trade and liberty to
travel and reside for Russian subjects
in Mongolia and territories behind the
gceat wall"
China contends that this is an un
warranted extension of the idea OF
freedom of trade, particularly as Rus
sia demands exemption of taxation
for her people

FIERCE STORM IN ALASKA
Wind Reaches Velocity Of Eighty
Miles an Hour.

Cordova, Alaska, Feb. 21.-One OF
the worst storms ever experienced in
Cordova and the Copper river valley
ended after three days of continuous
rain and of wind reaching velocity
of eighty miles an hour. Snow melt
ing on the mountain sides caused bad
landslides on the railroads running up
the Copper river, but they are now
cleared. The river is bank full and it
is feared that the flood will start the
glaciers moving long before the Alas
ka winter is ended.

ATTACKS BILL
Neenah (Wis.) Manufactured Before
Senate Finance Committee.

Neenan (Wis') MANUFACTURED Ee1oFe
Senate Finance Committee.
Washington, Feb. 21.-Hearings on
the McCah bill to carry out the pro-
visions of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement were begun by the senate
committee on finance. During the fore
noon the only witness was John
Strange of Neenah, Wis, paper
manufacturer and former lieutenant
governor of his state. Mr.. Strange
opposed the bill in vigorous language,
charging that false sentiment in favor
of it had been manufactured by a
league of newspapers which he be-
iieved to be in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced by Senators Lodge, Cullom,
Flint and Stone in keeping Mr..
Strange to his subject and obtaining
from him reasons why the agreement
should not be confirmed Sometimes
Senator Lodge sharply demanded
something other than attacks upon
the motives of newspapers in their de-
mands for cheaper paper.

JOIN FEDERATION OF LABOR
Syracuse IN. W Mail Clerks Take
Revolutionary Step.

Syracuse, N. Y, Feb. 21.-Two hun.
dred and forty-eight railway mail
clerks here took a revolutionary step
for government employees by affiliat
ing with the American Federation OF
Labor, receiving a charter therefrom
and electing and installing officers.
The new organization, which stands
on the same basis as labor union, is
to be known as the Railway Mai
Clerks Protective association and Is
the first organization of postal EN-
ployes to join the ranks Of organized
labor.
The clerks claim they have not the
right to appeal and cannot reach the
department to better their conditions

accept the bill in whole if two-thirds

accept the bill in whole if two-thirds
of the house vote to take 1t up.
The opposition to the tariff board
provision, in order to defeat it, would
have to defeat the bill in whole, thus
forcing an extra session of congress
regardless of what happens to Cana
dian reciprocity. The bill providing
for a permanent tariff board now
pending in the senate stands little or
no chance of passing that body. 1t is
therefore imperative if the admins
tration desires to continue its inquiries
into the tariff to carry the provision
in the sundry civil bill.

be simply a suit to obtain separa-

Oreste Cavalieri, brother of the

the second time about four weeks ago
and it was understood he was author

its financial sense.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The great ma
jority of the Democrats in the house

mainder of the session, so that appro-
priation and other measures can be

include any French spoliation or navy
yard overtime claims.
The claims bill was passed by two
thirds vote. The ayes and nays were
not demanded.
The rule adopted by the house prac-
tically puts the entire conduct OF al
fairs for the next two weeks in the
hands of the speaker.

As soon as the house convened the
point of no quorum was made ana a
roll call ordered. The clerk reported
POI members present, quorum. The
reading of the omnibus bill for amend
ments was begun.
Representative Roberts of Massa
chusetts, one of the new filibusterers
offered as an amendment the entire
list of French claims and demanded
the reading of the seventy printed
pages. Mr.. Mann made a point of or
der that the amendment was not ger

While this point was pending Rep
resentative Dalzel of Pennsylvania
brought in from the committee on
rules a rule providing for the suspen'
sion Of the rules on all bills from now
until the end of the session.
Whatever suspension is invoked II
limits all discussion to forty minutes
ON each measure. Mr.. DalZell said the
state of the public business required
the adoption of the rule.

POWER OF RICHES IS SMALL
They Cannot Give Beauty, Strength or Health to Possessor, or Pro-
 long Life.

The more experience we have of the world the more that experience should show us how little Is in the power of riches; for what, indeed, truly desirable can they bestow upon us? Can they give beauty to the deformed, strength to the weak or health to the infrm? Surely if they could we should not see so many ill., favored faces haunting the assem- plies of the great, nor would such numbers of feeble wretches languish in their coaches and palaces. Can they prolong their own possession, or lengthen his days who enjoys them? So far otherwise, that the sloth, the luxury, the care which attend them shorten the lives of millions and bring them with pain and misery to an untimely grave.
 Where, then, is their value, if they can neither embellish nor strengthen our forms, sweeten nor prolong our lives? Again, can they adorn the mind more than the body? Do they not rather swell the heart with van- ity, puff up the cheeks with pride, shut our ears to every call of virtue and our bowels to every motive of compassion.

GOOD RULES FOR THE GIRLS
Issued by the. Women's Imperial Health Association of Great Brit

Of more than passing interest to the women of this country are the following rules of conduct issued to "the girls of Great Britain" by the Women's Imperial Health Associa- tion of Great Britain and Ireland.
 The future of our country is in your hands.
 Look your best by all means, but be your best also; the first attracts to begin with, but the second pro duces the most lasting effect.
 You must obey ths laws of hy- gtene, respecting fresh air, exercise, good food, cleanliness and suitable clothing. A healthy girlhood is the best foundation for a happy life.
 You must know about cooking, housekeeping and domestic economy.
 You must learn about the feed- ing and care of children; this knowl- edge does not come by instinct, as many suppose.
 Remember that home making is the most dignifed and important profession in the world.
 Attend, if you can, Continuation classes" in personal and domestic hy- giene in your own house, remember ing that a good daughter makes the best wife.
 Choose the best companions and read the best books you can find. Ac- cept only the best men as your hus- bands, paying as much attention to their character as to their personal appearance. - Woman's National Weekly.

DARK SMOKE.

Funny thing about smoking! If man were compelled to puff good cigar with his eyes shut the opera ton would lose its zest. A man who had undergone a slight operation upon one of his eyes had to stay in . darkened room for a week with his optics bandaged. After . few days his doctor told him he could smoke if he liked. He jumped at the chance, and, to his amazement, found it afforded him not the slight est pleasure.
 To be sure, men often smoke in the dark; but there is always the rosy glow of the lighted end to be seen and the faint outline of the cloud of smoke in the air. There is no more fun in the sightless smoke than in a saltless egg or kiss im- planted upon your own hand. What is the psychology of it2

ON THE VALUE OF CALMNESS
Habit 10 the Twin oIster of Comfort and 10 Not Difficult to Ao-
 quIre.

One of the finest things within reach of the average individual is calmness.
 It is also profitable.
 Calmness is the twin sister of com fort. The man or woman who has formed the habit of calmness is apt to be comfortable when others are uncomfortable.
 Nor is it such difficult matter to make this habit feel enough at home to become a member of the family !.
 For calmness is about 90 per cent. freedom from fear.
 As a rule, the person who is not calm is afraid of something or some body. Afraid of self, perhaps. And that is the most disconcerting sort of fear.
 The way to be calm is to be calm. When the winds of diversity or disappointment or Encouragement are seeking to ruff1e your mental sea, keep remembering that there is no such thing as comfortable pas sage with the waves beating high.
 Those who are dealing with you will not overlook this, you may be sure. No person is going to risk nal de mer when it can be avoided.
 Keep calm
