Mr. Morgan also takes the position tha the president has already outlined the po- sition of the United States toward the Clayton-Bulwer treaty by negotiating the protocols with Costa Rica and Nicaragua. “It 18 quite clear,” he says, “that the president in making these agreements in the name of the United States definitely dis- regards any claim of right that Great Britaln could assert to the effect that her consent was uecessary to such action on his part, as president. And, equally, he asserted the right of congress to dlsre- gard any claims of Great Britain to pre- vent the acquisition of such rights from Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and ap- propriate money for that dlstinet purpose “Beyond question he has bound himself as president and as a plenipotentiary to those agreements, and.it they violate the rights of Great Britaln or give her just offense congress is aleo bound either to undo the wrong and atove for it and repu- diate and impeach what the president bas done, or sustain his action.” LONDON, Feb. One of the subjects discussed at today's cabinet meeting wae a dispatch from Lord Pauncefote, which it 18 understood dealt with the probable atti- tude of the United States toward Great Britain's counter proposals. The official action resulting from this meeting has not had time to take shape and it is impossible to say what conclusions were reached. United States Ambassador Choate will probably be summoned to the Forelgn office next Monday, when Lord Lavsdowne {s likely to commuvicate to him the British views regarding.‘he Nicara- #ua and China controversies No indica- tion fs given that this interview will seitle one way or the other the Nicaragua canal difficulty. On the other hand, Great Britain has no intention of ratifying the Hay- Pauncefote treaty in the form proposed by the senate, unless her counter proposals are agreed to in the short time left before that treaty lapses, and 1t {5 recognized to be almost impossible.

PETERSBURG, Feb. 22.—Although the situation arising out of the Russo-American tarift 18 unquestionably full of peril, reither well informed Americans or well informed Russifans anticipate an un- breakable deadlock The most hopeful featire of the case fs the fact that the political relations between the two powers remain unaffected United States Ambassador Tower sald to- day: “The matter will be declded in proper time by the proper authorities. It has not interrupted in the slightest the cordial re- lations which have aiways existed between the United States and Russia A fear hus been expressed that any Amer- controversy fcan concesslon would be considered a sign | | ot weakness by western Europe, eagerly walting for an opportunity to make a con- certed onslaught on American exports and tarifts, but Russian has no ulterior designs whatever. M. DeWitte has warm feeling for America and he has recently observed “My sentiments for America, like Russia's are closer than Europe, Russin's Position An authoritative exposition of the Rus- slan position, just given to the correspond- ent of the Assoclated Press, explains why Russia did not wait for the declsion of the United States supreme court, and did not exactly measure the reprisal to fit the of- fense. Russia, it is explained, is not deal- ing with the American courts. It the coun- tervalling duty were removed tomorrow, M. De Witte would withdraw the reprisal to- morrow. Russia's sugar policy s explained as follows: Conformably to law, the min- ister annually fixes the amount of sugar to be produced and disposed of on the domestic market. This amount increases every year as the consumption increnses. The min- ister also fixes the maximum domestic price, which diminishes each year. There is no truth whatever in the state- ment that permanently high prices are con- templated by the Russian pollcy. Prices have fallen within ten years from § to b roubles. If the producers wish to manufacture more sugar for export the government will not interfere. FINS ARE DEMONSTRATIVE Show Their D the Town in Blaok. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 32.—The people of Helsingfors, Finland, have shown that they are in no way reconciled to the new order of things, by various demonmstra- tions. February 18, the anniversary of the pubilcation of the czar's maunitesto to the Finlush senate, concerning the Russtunliiag of Finland, black sheets displayed in the streets were Inscribed with the names of senators who voted in favor of the procla- mation manifesto, while at night the win- dows of the residences of the Fins were hung with black curtains and the lights were extinguished. A deputation of women placed & mourning band on the monument of Alexander II. Groups of mem marched through the town, forced the Russian store- keepers and others to extinguish their lights and made a demonstration in front of certaln senators’ houses, An address signed by 8§50 women was pre- sented to the vice president of the sen- ate, protesting against the transfer of the records of the Finnish State department at St. Petersburg. The transfer was sub- sequently countermanded, GENERAL ACOSTA NOT TAKEN Whole Interior of Venesue Be at the Mercy o Force Sald to Rehel KINGSTON, Jamalca, Feb, 22.—Advices here today from the island of Trinidad re- veal a serious situation in Venezuela. it transpires that General Acosta, the rebel leader, has not been captured and, though his capture has been repeatedly, ofclally and unofficially, announced, it is said he 1s now being assisted by General Hernandex, General Rolande and a supporter of ex- President Andrade.

Battista was not injured, hut I carried a revolver which had not heen firad |1n the dead man's coat pocket, however. | was a revolver from which thiee shots had | been fired. This mystifies the police, since Glovanni's wound would have prevented | him from restoring the weapon to a place | of concealment. In hig pockets also were many counterfeit cofns, Glovanni, one of the most prominent [talians in Chicago, was a member of several se societins and came here from New York three years ago. The police are of the belief that he was the victim of the dreaded Mafia and hold that he was murdered with the weapon found on him. Battista is being held pending Investigation. Within five hours after the murder the police raided the house at nine Italians, said to be sympathizers of the Chicago branch of the Mafla soclety. | The persous arrosted are: Dominto Cata- lan, Nofel Phillp, Rafael Litta, Capalna Makea, Nalkri Ferna, John Ronte, Simon Rafael, Tony Spargno, Josenh Marizo. Bul'et In His Mouth. | One of the men arrestod in Milton avenue, Joseph Marizo, was suffering from a se- vere bullet wound in the mouth and he was taken to the county hospital. It Is believed by the police that Glovanni was lured from his home to the place of am- bush and that he was there set upon, When the rald was made on the house fn Milton avenue the nine men were found huddled in a small room. In the room were found numerous dirks, stilettos and revolvers. It s belteved by the police that the mur- der may have been prompted by revenge on account of some old feud. A matter that they are puzzled over i« the deposition in @ divorce case that was found in the possession of the dead man. This is the case of Dr. Ralph Guudove wgainst Col- vinda Gundove, 700 South Fourth street, St. Louls. It fs helieved Giovannl was acting as agent for some attorney and this may have had something to do with the plot to end his life. Glovanni and Battista were friends In Italy, For seven years Glovanni was & labor contractor in New York and Hoston Three years ago he came to Chicago and conducted a cigar store in Polk street. 8ix months ago he engaged in the restaurant business. He was a man of considerable means. At 8 o'clock this morning one of the prisoners sald the members of the band belonged .to an organization known as the Sicllian soplety and that Marizo was the president of the organization. In connection with the murder. the saloon of Frank Moricl, at 57 Grand avenue, was ralded by the police toda. and the proprie. tor and ten jumates waky plnced under ar- rest CHICAGO, Located in &4, Touls ST. LOUIS, Feb. 22.—Domenica Ginnoc- chlo, Itallan consul in St. Louls, and other prominent Italians of this city belleve Sal- vatore de Glovanni, murdered in Chicago Thursday night, was Dr. Raffaelle Guidone, who until a few months ago lived in St. Louls. Those who knew Dr. Guidone hers he- lieve that he was murdered by the relatives of his first wife, from whom he obtained a divorce in St. Louls last June, and not by the Mafla. When Dr. Guldone first ap- peared In St. Louls one year ago he intro- duced himself as an Italian count. He left here last August and had not been heard of since then. When here the doctor feared some enemy, for whom he was constantly on guard and armed. Further investigation of the death of Sal- vatore de Glovanni, who was found mur- dered on Grand avenue last evening, has convinced the police that the murder was the result of a carefully arranged plot, car- rled out under the orders of a secrot Italian society. The theory of the police fs that Glovannl was murdered to prevent his ap- pearance in & murder trial in New York. Letters found in the murdered man's pock- ets showed that he had been summoned east for this purpose. The Mafia socfety Is men- | toned in the case, but as vet the police have no evidence directly implicating that society with the murder. Joseph Morico, one of the men arrested last night, who had | & severe bullet wound in the mouth, is be- lleved to bave done the shooting. Carlo Battista, who came to Chicago from York Iast Friday and who spent much of his Hme in the company of Giovanni, s also under arrest. A clue to the reason for the murder was found among the letters in De Glovannl's pockets. One of these let~ ters, written by a man in St. Louls, spoke of a murder committed on Mulberry streot, New York, which Glovann! witnessed.

More than a week hus passed sinco It was written and nothing has been seen of Lim vet. He has had tim to arrive from the most distant point in the United States. My Impression is that the letter was written to temper the zeal of the detectives and officers who are working on the case. They were getting too close to him for comfort "'As the letter was written before the ar« rest of Jim Callaban, the latter event could ot have incited the writing and there can be no logical conunection between them.
