For his Majesty where re- proceed to the At the time being, however, will only go as far as Irkutsk, he will await the final disappearance of sncw and ice before entering Man- churia. The fact that astatement in the Rus- an press that part of the Czar’'s pri- ate police have already been ordered to Irkutsk has been allowed to pass without contradiction is regarded here ag confirmation of the report. The semi-official Post, in reproduc- ing this dispatch, points out that there would be nothing extraordinary in Nicholas 1I going to the seat of war. On the contrary, it would be in ac- cordance with the Russian custom, the Czar generally taking the field with his army. No protest has been received here from Japan against the sale of the Fuerst Bismarck to a firm acting in Ru 's interests. <+ ACT TO PRE BE INT WILL USED TO PROMOTE Hill Will Apply Prohibitory Statute to Thwart the Plan of Harriman. ST. PAUL, Minn., April 6.—The laws of various Western States prohibiting parallel lines from owning or controll- ing each other and which were so vig- orously attacked by the securities com- pany when the merger was being formed have suddenly been found very edvantageous to merger interests, in- asmuch as they may be employed to prevent the Harriman people from get- ting control of the Norzhern Pacific. Laws which once threatened to break up the combination are to ve employed in preventing it. This somewhat par- adoxical situation came to tight to-day when it was learned that Attorney General Donovan of Montana, who had been hastily summoned to St. Paul by the Great Northern interests, was im- portuned to use the strength of the Montana laws to prevent the Harriman interests, through the Oregon Short Line, from getting control of the North- ern Pacific. NEW YORK, April 6.—Vice Chan- cellor Bergen signed an order in Jersey City to-day to show cause why an in- junction should not issue to restrain the Northern Securities Company from holding a stockholders’ meeting April 21, from distributing any stoek of the Northern Pacific Railway Company and the Great Northern Company, and from taking any action in regard to the reduction of its capital stock. The bill for the injunction was asked for by the Continental Securities Company, which asks the Court of Chancery to compel the Northern Securities Com- pany to return to the original stock- holders of the Northern Pacific Rail- way Company and of the Great Nor- thern Raillway Company the stocks formerly held by them upon the same terms under which the stock of the two companies was acquired by the Northern Securities Company. ————— é CHICAGO BOY BANDITS HAVE FRIEND IN SAN DIEGO M.

Beyond giving his name and place of residence the would-be benefactor does not reveal himself. Shermang has sent out a circular let ter to a number of newspapers in Illi- nois. He says: “It seems as though something ought to be done to change the sentence of death into life imprisonment.” Sherman bases his plea solely on an appeal to parental feeling and asks all fathers how they would feel if their suns were condemned to die. s LONDON, April 6.—The report that a duty on petroleum will be one of the new features of the (or&wn(n‘ budget is discredited here. | attached. = —_— Says Japan’s Politeness Hides a Deep Design and America Is the Sufferer. Harold Bolce, a well known newspa- { of the war correspondents to the front. per man formerly located in this city, | returned yesterday on the liner Ko-| rea from the Far East, where he h been studying Japan from a comme cial standpoint for the Booklover’s Magazine and gathering statistics for the United States Department of | Commerce and Labor, to which he is As Government official Bolce was afforded exceptional facil- ities for informing himself as to the matters on which he sought light. He has come to the conclusion that the Japanese is ambitious beyond Oc- | | cidental imagining. Referred to by | Western writers as the “little brown | man,” the Mikado's subject whe | thinks sees in himself the coming dic- tator of the Orient. | “Japanese modesty,” says Bolce, | “has been made much of and on the surface is a very graceful character- istic. It is only on the surface, how- ever, that this meekness has any ex- istence. There are some men in Japan who really think. I_met some of them, talked with them, argued with them and came away convinced not only that they were profound thinkers, but that they were thinking to a purpose. | “Japan wants to be the patron of civilization, the educator and leader | of the yellow races. She wants to be | the teacher of Asia and intends to se- cure a federation of Far Eastern races | and at the same time annex the bulk | of the commerce. She will have the| right of way, t0o, unless America and Europe wake up and secure their own share. *“Cl tian applause has spurred Jap- an to great-efforts and in a few centu- ries the Anglo-Saxon people will have cause to regret it. Japan was consid- ered a toy nation until she whipped China and from her present conflict she expects to emerge a great, mod- ern power. She will be an important factor in the trade of the Pacific un- less America is bestirred, and opinion of as far sighted a man as James J. Hill the awakening has al- | ready been postponed too long. In| Hill's opinion the missionary work for American trade in the should have commenced with the set- tlement of the Boxer troubles, America's stand on the question won her the friendship of China. Japan saw the opportunity and how she improved it opened my eves in admiring wonder. “While 1 do not believe that Amer- ica wants to stand in Japan's way. vet, looking into the future, she is giving Japan opportunities to be the great Pacific power, which in my mind will mean the forémost power of the world. Japan is selling more goods in the Orient now than America or Europe. Japan wants only raw ma- terial from us. Germany is selling a lot of small stuffs in the Orient, and while England's trade is declining that of America is not increasing as it should. It is true that Japan has announced her policy of having free ports, but Japan has a way of ham- pering trade that, with its annoyances, makes its avowed policy of little use in a businéss way. While they are poilite they have a pleasant way of placing obstacles in the way, which amounts almost to a boycott of Amer- ican goods.” Huntington Wilson, secretary of the United States legation at Tokio, who arrived yesterday on the Korea, says that the chief occupation of the Amer- ican official family at the Japanese capital is calming the war correspon- dents rusting there in irksome inac- tivity. = “Japan has every desire to be friend- ly with the representatives of the world’s press and it is only diplomatic wisdom for her to be so. From a strategical point of view, however, sec- recy in her military movements is a necessity. Strategy is at present more vital to Japan than dipldmacy and a lot of very good fellows are breaking their hearts over the prosy existence to which military necessity has con- demned them.

LS PROMINENT ORIENTALS ARRIVE. Many Chinese and Japanese Are En Route to the Exposition. Among the passengers on the Korea yesterday were many Japanese and Chinese merchants, statesmen and noblemen, all bound for the St. Louis Exposition, where they will for the most part take active interests in the exhibits from their countries.

They will spend a few days, or possibly a week, in this | city, when they will go forward to the | exposition. Wong Yap, who is at the head of the commission representing China at the coming exposition, will take charge of the exhibits from two of the provinces of China. He will be assisted by Quong Fong and Quong See.

The commissioners have not as yet fixed a definite date for their departure for St. Louis, but they believe that they will be able to leave in a few days. PSR ¢ CZAR STOPS THE BOYCOTT. Asks That Russian Attacks Upon American Nation Cease. ST. PETERSBURG, April"5.—An ut- terance made by the Czar is circulated, which is likely to stop entirely the agitation against America. When in- formed of the resolve of eight Russian merchants to boycott American mer- chandise the Czar said: ““Such policy would be an expression of mistaken patriotism. The great American nation cannet seriously think of befriending Japan at the expense of peace-loving Russia.

LONDON, April 7.—The Times cor- respondent, who is cruising in the vi- cinity of Port Arthur, cabling con- cerning the hold-up of his vessel by a Russian warship, says it was the ar- | mored cruiser Bayan, flying the flag of Vice Admiral Makaroff, which chased and later searched his steamer. He says the Bayan shows the scars | of the damage recently inflicted upon | her by the Japanese, but that she is a fine ship and well handled. “In overhauling us,” he say, “her of- ficers and crew appeared a little finely drawn, but they nevertheless were of good material.” The correspondent of the Times at Chefu says the Russians captured two sples at Newchwang, who were in pos- session of the plans of the new forti- fications. PORT ARTHUR, April 7.—The | Russian battleship Peresviet reports | that she sighted the enemy to-day in | Kwangtung waters. A press correspondent has had an interview with a high personage close- ly connected with the Emperor of Korea, who left his cause of the administrative reforms in- troduced through the influence of the Japanese. Apparently reflecting the views of the Emperor, this personage said: “I saw the Japanese action. It is | an attempt to apply to Korea the pol- | icy which the British have adopted in India. My country has reason t6 sym- pathize with the Russians, knowing the justice of their policy toward the natives of Amur, where many Koreans labor.” Vice Admiral Makaroff's leadership has inspired the men of the fleet with the highest confidence and love. | People arriving from Liaoyang re- | port that the troops are impatient | attack the Japanese.
