close the fact that It has become a more

ing: plats, etc., for outside parties, and
drawing- personal remuneration for such
service. In consequence, a general order
is to be issued strictly prohibiting all
clerks from doing any work of this char
acter for outside parties, or from giving
outsiders any information concerning pub
lic business and Government records.
In but few cases has it been possible to
collect enough, proof, against clerks to
warrant their dismissal, although the de
partment believes the practice is general.
Many clerk3 by such, work are supposed
to have been, making: more on the outside
than their regular salaries amount to.

here has urged Prince Ching, head of the
Foreign Office, to instruct the Chinese
Minister at Seoul to authorize Corea to

JAPAN IS MORE WARLIKE.
Change of Attitude Due to Agree
ment With Britain.
TOKIO, Japan, July 3, via Victoria, B.
C., July 17. Since the important confer
ence of elder statesmen before the throne,
Japan ..has been displaying a tendency
towards a more positive policy in the
Manchurlan and Corean questions, and it
is believed this change of tone is due to
an understanding with Great Britain, Ja
pan's ally. Naval maneuvers are now be
ing conducted off Masampho, and It is
said the fleet is afterwards to proceed to
Chinese waters to effect a naval demon
stration. The Russian squadron in these waters
Is already strong, and is to be supple
mented immediately by the turret ship
Oelabya, battleship Alexander HI, battle
ship Csarevltch, cruiser Aurora ana
cruiser Almaz.
The British squadron amounts in the
aggregate 'to but 140.000 tons, but is to be
Increased, the Leviathan being already en
route." ,
The Japanese fleet engaged in the ma
neuvers Includes six battleships, six ar
mored cruleers and eight destroyers. They
were to assemble at Muroran on July 10
and proceed via Eastern Siberia and Corea
to the Gulf of Pe Chi Li.
, The American warships engaged in ma
neuvers in the Gulf of Pe Chi Li are the
battleships Oregon and Kentucky, cruiser
New Orleans and gunboats Helena, Min
neapolis, Vicksburg, Wilmington and Don
Juan de Austria, monitors Monterey and
Monadnock, torpedo tender Wampatuck
and two navy transports.
In the meantime Japanese and British
Ministers at PeWn are protesting strongly
against the conclusion of the secret con
vention with China, which is now known
to have been signed by Prince Ching and
M. Lessar, and .forwarded to St Peters
burg for imperial sanction, after which It
will be returned to Pekln for signature
by .the Empress Dowager.

Said a tourist gazing at Niagara: "The volume of water coming over the cataract is magnificent
in its immensity and to think that it isn't the mere flood of days, but has been pouring over in
equal volume for ages!" IT'S THE RIVER BEHIND THE FALLS THAT COUNTS! The
falls are the climax as "Sales" are the climax of a business. Behind the sales there is a stream of
merchandise, and the great store is that which keeps the stream strong and great and clear. WE

While the opening of' the two ports
eliminates the United States from an act

solution of Japan's difficulties and prom

with apprehension.
RUSSIA READY TO FIGHT.
Will Kot Yield Manchuria, Even If
War Should Result.
SHANGHAI. July 17. A reliable mining
engineer, who has returned from his third
visit to Manchuria, declares that Russia
will never evacuate Manchuria, owing to
the enormous sumfck she has spent in
buildings, etc, and that she is now ready
to fight, if the demand for withdrawal is
pressed upon her.
Corea Bound by Old Treaty.
WASHINGTON, July 17. The round
about method adopted by the Corean gov
ernment to secure the opening of Weju
to foreign trade probably Is necessary be
cause of the existence of some treaty stip
ulations between China and Corea signed
since the China-Japanese War, which re
quires the consent of China before such
a step is taken. For many years most
of the trading between Corea and China
has been by way of Weju. The later place
is a big Corean market on the Yalu River
nearly opposite Ta Tung Kao, on the right
bank of the Yalu. Recent dispatches
have shown that Russia has made claims
to extensive timber concessions In Corea
on the banks of the Yalu, and both that
country and Japan are apprehensive that,
through the medium of these claims, Rus
sia will obtain a strong foothold In Co
,rea Japan is believed to be at the bot
tom of this latest Corean movement.
Minister to Japan had on the day previous
callol at the Toklo Foreign Office and of
ficially assured the authorities that the
Russian government would see to it that
two ports would be opened in Manchuria
to the world's commerce. The Minister
went at once to the State Department and
informed Secretary Hay of this fact. He
there learned that similar assurances had
reached this Government.
Bear Grovrls at Lion.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 17. The rela
tions between Russia and Japan are the
subject of comment in the newspapers
here. They attribute the strained situation
to the "attitude of the newspapers pub
lished In Japan with the aid of English
money."
The Novoe Vremya asserts that Russia
stands as the guardian of peace in Asia,
and points out the lack of wisdom on
the part of Japan In allowing herself to
be Influenced by Great Britain, who "In
the event of war will not assist her."
Money for Concessions.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 17. China, ft
Is announced, has concluded a loan of
2.000,000 taels with the Russo-Chlnese
Bank, which, In lieu of interest, obtains
certain privileges in Chinese Turkestan.
London Has Not Received Xotlce.
LONDON, July 17. The announcement
that the State Department has received
assurances from the Chinese 'officials that
it will 'soon open several ports for the
world's trade and from the Russian gov
ernment that It will not oppose such
opening, has been received with interest
in official circles in London.
Finance Secretary Lord Lansdowne was
not at the Foreign Office at the hour that
this dispatch was received here. Other
officials expressed satisfaction at the news,
but withheld further comment pending
the arrival of further details. At the Chi
nese legation it was said that no official
news on the subject had as yet been re
ceived there.
Choate Informs Lnnsdowne.
LONDON, July 17. Ambassador Choate
has been advised by Secretary Hay of the
character of the assurances given to
China by Russia respecting the opening
of ports in Manchuria. It is believed
that the Ambassador communicated the
Information to the foreign conference,
which was held this afternoon with For
eign Secretary Lansdowne, and that ,Mr.
Choate cabled the result to Washington.
But the Ambassador declined to make
public any information respecting the
representations made, or the views of
Lord Lansdowne.
The Foreign Office also declined to com
ment on the matter.
Bitter Feeling Toward Russia.
NEW YORK, July 17. President Roose
velt's advices from Secretary Hay as to
the conclusion of negotiations with China
for open ports in Manchuria afford him
much satisfaction, says a dispatch from
Oyster Bay, L. I., to the Herald. The
feeling of the Administration towards
Russia already has been vastly improved
by the St Peteasburg government's prom
ised action in the punishment of the Klsh
inef rioters.

JACOB "EPPINGER INDICTED
Charged With Getting Money Under
False Pretenses.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 17, The grand
Jury in session tonight returned indict
ments against Jacob Epplnger, of the In
solvent grain firm of Epplnger & Co.,

fprthcoming, ex-Sheriff Charles Lau
melster, a mlllman, and ex-United States
Marshal J. C. Franks, acting as security
for the indicted man.
District Attorney Bylngton stated that
the failure of the grand Jury to return an
indictment against Herman Epplnger,
one of the"partners of the flrjn, was due
to the fact that certain necessary papers
could not be produced at this time. The
fa,ct that both men were in close prox
imity t6 the grand jury chambers accom
panied by bondsmen Indicates that they
were fully prepared for any action the
grand jury might have taken.

ling freight was not Interfered with as
much as on former days.
The only mix-up of the afternoon oc
curred when a large crowd of men and
boys pursuing a wagonload of freight
found themselves being distanced and
boarded a Taylor-street car, ordering the
motorman to pursue the wagon. None of
them would pay fares, and when the
motorman refused to move the car the
crowd bombarded it with stones. Not a
pane of glass was left In the car, and the
motorman and conductor were only saved
from Injury by the appearance of a squad
of police.

PITTSBURG, July 17. A strike at the
Portvue tinplate works, which began
yesterday. Is more serious than at flrst
anticipated. Only two of the ten mills
