Treaty Witli China.
Paris. January 11. A strong cur-
t-Anf nf nffirinl sentiment was set in
motion today favorabhi to strength-
fninf the hand of Russia in her
claims to exercise paramount influ
ence in Manchuria. It is pointed out
that Russia, having conceded Japan's
paramount influence in Korea, Japan
annwrs to be unwillinsr to make a
reciprocal concession by recognizing
ount influence an
Manchuria.
The general purport of the Russian
position is that Japanese merchants
and individuals shall have the right
to free access to Manchuria for pur
poses of travel and commerce, but
that Russia does not wish this to he
extended to the colonization of Jap
anese in large communities in Man
churia. Strong sympathy is expressed here
n behalf of the Russia view, as it is
said that the general admission of
Japanese colonization in Manchuria
would create questions ton political
and racial dominations. It is assert
ed to be in the interest of the com-
- merce of Eurooe and America, that
Russia should replace Cnina s au
thority within Manchuria. It is
maintained in governmental quarters
that it is to the general interest of
Eurone and America to give moral
support to a settlement of the pend
ing conflict on the basis of Japan's
authority in Korea and Russia's au
thority in Manchuria. Those who
are' in the best position to know
Russia's intentions, say her deter
mination to exercise her sphere of
influence in Manchuria is irrevoca
ble. Owing to Russia's latest attitude in
Manchuria, it is the view of official
circles here that the main issue o
the negotiations now centers in Man
churia instead of Korea.
Tokio, January 11. The cabinet
and elder statesmen met for a joint
conference at the official residence
of Premier Katsura this afternoon.
The Premier, who is ill, was not
present. They discussed the political
and strategical situation and will re
nort to the throne tomorrow. The
note delivered by Foreign Minister
Komura on Saturday to Baron de
Rosen, the Russian minister, was
merelv preliminary to Japan's for
mal response, which has not yet been
delivered-
The questions at issue were dis
cussed at today's conference of the
cabinet and elder statesmen and n
final decision is expected. When this
has been reached, the conferees will
appear before the throne and sub
mit the answer agreed upon. After
this has been done the final proposals
of Janan will be handed to Baron
de Rosen.
Seoul. Korea. January 11. The
Japanese minister has made reiter
ated demands, hitherto without re
sult, on the Emoeror of Korea, that
he recognize a Japanese protectorate
at Korea. the Korean government
holding itself to the Russo-Japanese
agreement concerning Korea.
Kerlin, January 11. The Russian
jjovenunent has informed the powers
that it -will respect fully the rights
any nation has in Manchuria under
treaty .with China. This declaration
is made without reservation.
Russia gives formal expression to
this policy now in consequence of the
controversy with Japan, one of whose
persistent contentions has been for
a defination of Russia's policy in
Manchuria, and an acknowledgement
of Japan's trade privileges. Russia's
reply has been, in substance, as follows-
"We cannot discuss Manchuria
with you any more than wccould
Au5tralia or the Philippines. Man
churia belongs neither to us. nor to
you. It does not lie within the juris
diction of either -of us to dispose of
the future of Manchuria."
Russia, however, is willing to ob
serve the treaty rights of all the
powers in Manchuria and now en
gages to do so.
Russia, it is added, thus removes
from the negotiations one of the
points upon which Japan counted for
the moral support of other powers
and whereon she especially had sym
pathy of the United States and GreaT
Britain.

sons for His Fight
on Wood
IN THE SENATE?
Senator Scott Quotes Many of tlie
Points Brought Out Against Gen
eral Wood He Tells of His Con
nection With the Jai Alai Gamb
ling Company He Says Wood Was
Guilty of Complicity With Runcie
to Reflect Discreditably on General
Brooke His Character is Im
peached.
Washington. January 11. .Senator
Scott of the Senate committee on mili
tary affairs has submitted in execu
tive session of the Senate a review of
the evidence introduced before the
committee in the hearing on the nom-
nation of Brigadier General Wood to
oe a major general.
Senator Scott gives his reason f(r
opposing confirmation. He quot3
many points brought out against Geri
t
eral Wood, particularly those in con
nection with charges . that General
Wood accepted gifts from the Jai Alai
company a gambling institution of
Havana, and was guilty of complicity
with Major James E. Runcie in the
preparation and publication of an
article reflecting discreditably on
Major General John R. Brooke, his
ranking officer. Senator Scott makes
a strong personal argument to the
Senate in opposition to the appoint
ment of General Wood to be a major
general, saying that the person to be
confirmed should be highly 'qualified
and in, every way worthy and above
suspicion.
Commenting on a statement in th
brief Senator Foraker, calling atten
tion to the fact that it was President
McKinley who jumped General Wood
over hundreds of officers in the army
Senator Scott says:
- "We are told that Augustus boasted
that he found Rome of brick and left
it of marble, and so, per chance, may
General Wood lay claim to the. boast
that he found Cuba a den of filth and
disease and left it writh a sewerage
system. This, however, goes to his
credit as a physician and as a sanitary
officer and does not in any sense, show
his fitness to command a body of
troops. The evidence in this case
quite clearly establishes the fact that
he was appointed because of his sup
posed capacity as a civil governor and
there is much to throw doubt upon the
question of whether even his appoint
ment as brigadier general was not re
gretted by the president and no one
will believe that Mr. McKinley woulrj
ever thought of promoting him to a
major generalship, certainly not in the
light of the present developments."
Referring to the conduct of General
Wood toward his superior officer,
General Brooke, Senator Scott says
that no impartial person can review
the evidence in this matter without
reaching the conclusion that the
charge of disloyalty is fully establish
ed. He says the circumstances so
strongly support the charge and ex
clude the theory of innocence of Gen
eral Wood that if he were being tried
by a jury of his countrymen fo" h
crime upon like evidence and under
like circumstances his conviction would
result beyond question.
In reference to the support given by
General Wood to gambling games
placed in the jai Alai company's
"fronton" Senator Scott says it i?
shown by the testimony that General
Wood was an habitual attendant of
the game, especially spending his Sun
day's there, on which days the betting
reached as high as $50,000.
Senator Scott comments on the evi
dence introduced tending to reflect di
rectly upon- General Wood's character
as a man by impeaching his integrity
and veracity and then after summing
up other charges says:
"To my mind a most grievous in
justice has been done in the prefer
ment Of General Wood over a hundred
or more old army officers officers who
won distinction on many a bloody bat
tlefield where, more lives were' lost
and more prisoners taken in one day
than during the entire Spanish-American
war."
Xoes Not Want Honrs of Labor In
creased. Washington, January 11. After a
short time devoted to routine busi
ness, the Senate went into executive
session. In the morning hour Mr.
Stewart introduced a resolution , di
recting the committee on improve
ments to oonduct an investigation of
the various government department,
to determine how many additional
clerks would be required to avoid the
necessity of he department's in
creasing the hours of labor from 4
p. m. to 4:30 p. m. Mr. Stewart ask
ed immediate consideration but ob
jection was raised by Mr. Gallinger
who inquired if the law does not
require seven hours labor from
clerks employed in the departments.
That is the law," said Mr. Stew
art. "But I am against the law as
well as this new order."
"Then." said Mr. Gallinger, "I
think the Senator should direct the
resolution at the law and seek a re
vision of that.
The resolution went over.

"A CONSCIENCE CAMPAIGN."
Bryan Says the Issue is Between Man
and Mammon.
New Haven. Conn.. January 11.
William J. Bryan was tne guest oi
honor today at a banquet in Warner
Hall, at which about 150 Democrats
were present. Governor Garvin, of
Rhode Island, and Congressman De
Armond, of Missouri, were among the
iruests from other states.
The occasion took the form of a
celebration of Jackson Day and was
also declared by some of its pro
moters to be intended as a sort of
prelude to the opening "of the presi
dential campaign in New England.
Mr. Bryan's topic was "A Con
science Campaign." Re said in part:
'The great issue at this time is
the issue between Man and Mammon
between plutocracy and Demo-'
cracy. All surface questions of pol
icy, of taxation and of regulation
and of finance are but phases of that
century long that world wide strug
gle between the common people and
organized wealth. To say that it
does not pay for a nation to violate
the - rights of the people of another
nation involves so much of addition,
subtraction, multiplication and divis
ion that many get lost In- a maze of
mathematics. But to say 'that the
wages of sin is death is to give an
epitome of history that accords with
each person's experience. In dealing
with the trusts, with finance, with
labor problems and with all the oth
er questions at Issue we must viewf
them from a moral standpoint and
1 arraign every evil at the bar of the
public conscience.
