pretext for the stepping in of the Rus
slams, who are said to have had one
foot in the province for years and to
have been awaiting a good excuse for
putting in the other foot, although
Russia is under solemn pledge, to-
gether with the other great powers,
including the United States, to main
tain the territorial integrity of the
Chinese empire.
In her traditional position of guar
antor of fair play for China, the Unit
ed States undoubtedly will be obliged
to formally protest against the ex-
tension of Russian control over Mon
goha and Turkestan. This govern
ment would not be alone in such a
move, the other great powers being
bound to cooperate. 1t happens, how
ever, that Japan is the most vitalIy
interested Of the other powers, and
that here have been many manifesta-
tions of Russo Japanese friendship in
recent years-since the late unpleas-
antness. Because, of its proximity,
Japan naturally has been looking with
q greedy eye upon the situation in
China, ever ready to take advantage
of an oportunity or excuse to step in
and help itself to q large slice of ter
ritory.
A fixed belief obtains at the state
department that Japan is a party to
whatever plans Russia may have for
the exploitation Of those portions of
the Chinese dominions which attract
her most. The fact that Japan is un-
der an additional pledge to notify this
government of any changes in the sta
tus quo in the far east to which the
Nipponese government contemplates
becoming party leaves the latter in
an unenviable position but one from
which the willy Japanese will find
means to extricate themselves.
The United States has little, If any,
immediate interest in Mongolia and
Turkestan, but would lose bright pros

In dominating these provinces
1t is believed that Russian domin-
ance of Mongolia would have an as.

forming an opening wedge for th'

mise wool bill, agreed to by the House
and Senate, repassed the House Satur-
day, and win be taken up in the Senate
at noon Monday. Senator LaFollet5e
gave notice he would call it up at that
time and ask for immediate action upon
the conference report, in which the two
houses agreed to wool tariff based on
ia raw wool duty of 20 per cent.

the day acceded to the Democratic Pro-
gressive demand that the Canadian rcei-
procity repeal amendment be dropped
from the iron and steel tariff bill. This
action resulted in the repassage of that
bill in the Senate; and the measure is
now on its way to the president.
Conferences will be held early next
week on the excise tax bill and the
sugar tariff BILL On the former, an
agreement exists between the Senate
Democrats and insurgents, to indorse

procity law except the free print paper

An unusual kind of refrigerator has
been devised by California man. In
stead of being cooled by ice the air in
it is kept at the desired temperature
by the fact that the fabric covering
of the receptacle is moistened continu-
ally. This fabric covers the walls and
top OF the refrigerator, and on top
stands small water tank with a drip
cock. A box Of fabric incloses this tank
also. This tank is filed with cold wa
ter, not necessarily ice water. which is
allowed to drip from Ii and. spreading
through the covering of the refriger-
ator. keeps the air inside cool. The
temperature Of the water in the tank
is kept down by moistenine the small
box inclosing 1t. This refrigerator
works on the principle of the country
springhouse. and, while the air inside
is not ice cold, 1t is cold enough for all
purposes.

FARMER" PUTS

Upstate Excise Chief Takes
Gaynor's Challenge
AND CLOSED THE GATES
Will Enforce the Law-The Propretors
Must Take Out All-Night
Licenses or Shut
Up.

New York, Aug. 5.--The entire white
! light district was in darkest mourning
Saturday. The city is to be reformed,
AID reformed forthwith, and the state
commissioner of excise with his as
sistants are to be the reformers.
At O'Clock this morning all OF the
hundreds of all-night cafes and ~estaur-
ants were running full blast. At that
hour w. w. Farley, an upstate farm
er," who holds the appointment as head
of the excise department, entered an
automobile, accompanied by his chief
deputy and his legal staff He made
the rounds of every place that was
running and directed that the bars be
closed. The proprietors demurred. They
would not stand dietation by farmer
But Farley simply had one of his legal
assistants quote the law and make IL
plain that If drinks were sold after
hours liceses would be forfeited. And
under the law, if forfeited they cannot
be renewed on the same premises for a
year.
The places visited were not the ord-
nary barrooms, but the big fashionable
restaurants. All were told that unless
they got all-night licenses there would
be nothing doing. Most of their pat
rons left when told they could have
all they wanted to eat but nothing to
drink
who's the man who wants to eat
early in the morning without drink Y
was the refrain.
The commissioner declared to-day be
intends that the excise law shall lie
enforced to the letter everywhere in this
state from now on. He said he would
mass most of his force OF inspectors in
this city tomorrow TO see that the city
is kept dry on Sunday. The real reason
is said to be the publicity given tie

and law BROKERS and the declaration OF
Mayor Gaynor that ii is the duty Of the

MILLIONAIRE FUNK FOR
GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS
State Senator and Farmer Is Worth
$4,000, oo0-0ther Rich Men Named
as Bull Moose Candidates or
Put on the Various Com
mittees.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The nomination OF
Frank H. Funk for governor of Illinois
Saturday by the State Bull Moose con
vention after the name of r. H. Eaton
was withdrawn was revelation to a
lot of people that there is a lot OF
money west of the Hudson river and
that there are lot of people who have
money who have not heretofore gone
in for big politics. Also this llumina-
ton extended in way to a visual reeoe
milton of where Roosevelt gets the mon
ey."
1t does not eliminate George w. Per-
kins, who is here, nor Frank A. Nun
sey, who has gone to Europe, but it
comes down to a question like this
e. Who is Frank II. Funk?
A. Mr.. Funk is farmer from Bloom
ington, Ill. That is the county seat of
MaeLean county. MacLean county is
larger than the land surface of Rhode
Island and sight more productive
Mr.. Funk and his family own all of
MacLean county except that part which
they discarded. Mr.. Funk is worth in
the neighborhood OF $l0O0000o.
The discovery that there is lot of
money in the United States west Of
Jersey City came through the powers
of observation of the Bull Moose cam
didate. The new national committee
man from Michigan, Henry NJ. Wallace,
is attending his first convention. He
is forty, lawyer in Detroit, With
branch offices in other citiese of tn
state and interests in several public
utilities. He has not before appeared
in politics, but is energetic, enthusiastic
and worth several million dollars.
L. w. Watkins, the gubernatorial can
didate in Michigan of the Progressive
party, is the owner. in Jackson county.
Mich, of $500 acres. which he farms.
making thereby modest living, with
something in the bank.
These are only samples. The list of
committeeman and candidates on the
Bull Moose tickets will shoy men of
substance. the kind of substance that
yields returns, when called on. But it
is pointed out by the Roosevelt. people
that the money is not coming from
Wall street.
