THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JULY U, 1903. WILLING TO AGREE Britain Is Ready to Compro mise With Russia, OK BASIS OF TREATY RIGHTS But Crnnborne Tells Parliament Rtzs. sin. Has Xot Kept Her Agreement In ilanchnrin and Both Britain and Japan Desire Settlement. LONDON, July 23. When the House of Commons was In committee today on the Foreign Office vote. Sir Charles Dllke (Advanced Radical) assailed the foreign policy of the government, which he said was strangely inconsistent. He compared the recent visit of King Edward to Prance, and President oubefs return visit to England, with the government's attitude towards Germany, and accused the government of cringing to Germany in the Venezuelan matter, and of "allow ing themselves to be hoodwinked." But, Sir Charles added, when there was a popular cry against the government it had "hatched up the Canadian tariff question, and the late Ministers had used language of absolute ferocity against Qermany." The Foreign Under-Secretary, lord Cranborne, replying, said the German Emperor had nothing to do, directly or Indirectly, with the communications In regard to the co-operation of Great Brit ain and Germany in the Venezuelan af fair. Ho vindicated the policy of the government in this matter, and said Great Britain was on friendly terms with all tho powers. Continuing, the Under-Secretary denied that Great Britain was getting the worst of it in Manchuria, where, he said, Great Britain recognized the open-door policy. Referring to the Canadian tariff dis pute, Lord Cranborne said they must put their owIT colonies first, and an end must be put an once to the disabilities unaer which they suffered. DHHcnlty In Manclinria. The criticism of the Government's pol icy continued at the evening session. Joseph Walton, Liberal, who strongly fa vored an extension of British trade by means of colonial departments, accused the Government of a succession of hu miliating surrenders in China. He said the time had arrived for facing the situa tion in Manchuria and Nlu Chwang. The under foreign secretary. Lord Cran borne, In reply, said that British trade In China was still Increasing at a satis factory rate, and he was confident of se curing a full share of Tailway and other valuable concessions. The Government, he said, was fully aware of the position of Manchuria. The great difficulty up to to the present time In negotiating with Russia, was that Great Britain had never yet been able to ntcertaln exactly what the Russian Government wanted and the fact remained that Manchuria was still occupied. Russia's failure to fulfill b.er undertaking, he said, was satisfactory neither to Great Britain, Japan or tho United States. Lord Cranborne said the Russian gov ernment knew perfectly well that Eng land would be delighted to come to an agreement, but there were difficulties. He doubted whether the Russian govern ment was so homogeneous a despotism as might he supposed from her past history. There seemed to be at least two parties In the government with whom he was obliged to deal, and England had "never .received an Intimation of what Russia expected. "Our ally. Japan," he said, "Is becom ing uneasy at the prolongation of the oc cupation of Manchuria and we are equally anxious for some kind of a settlement. There are certain elements out of which an agreement ought to be possible and If Russia is prepared to give due weight to -our treaty rights and commercial in terests she will not find us irreconcil able to compromise." He Steps on "French Corns. Besides alludlnsr to the Oznr na a. rtpsnnt Lord Cranborne made an indiscreet ref erence to France and John Redmond tried to make it appear that the British government had suffered a rebuff In its representations to France in behalf of the expelled monks. In replying Lord Cranborne "ild that he was not sur prised at . Redmond's remarks and that he must agree with him in deploring wnat nad occurred. "Such a measure as the associations' law," he said, "could never have been passed in England. We cannot but be surprised, If one can say so of a great neighboring Nation, that France should mime it necessary to introduce such a law." Lord Cranborne's remarks were 'the sub ject of special comment because of the presence in ixmdon of the French arbl tratlonlsts. JAPAN STRIPS FOR WAR. But Russia Will Not Yield and Pours Troops Eastvrartl. LONDON. July 23. The Dallv MaII'r Tokio correspondent sends rather an aiarming view 01 tne situation In the re port to his paper. He says that Rus sia's retention of Manchuria, the Increase of her fleet, the dispatch of relnforce I ments to Manchuria, the southward move I ment of the occunvlne nrmv In Mnn. churla and the defiant conduct on the Korean frontier alarmed the Japanese, many of whom are convinced that It would be better to fight now than risk the eventual loss of Corea and the r1- I nation of Japan to a secondary place. Je says the Jr.panese are accumulating stores and negotiating the purchase of ships; that a squadron Is oft Vladivostok, 10 jvnicn port iussian vessels nave been sent as a precaution, and that both fleet are ready for action at any moment. He says that a perusal of the Siberian press reveals the aggressive spirit of the Russian military party; that the Rus sians believe they will lose prestige if they jrive way now. with the result that I their far Eastern empire will be lost and Japanese innuence will become predoml- inanu une appointment of Marquis Ito as president of the nriw council, the. I correspondent says, Is favorable to peace. Ioui mat Russia must retreat or tnere will be very grave danger of war. He says the Japanese believe that France and England will join in the expected con- Iiiicx, wmcn diplomats at Tokio think might, if once begun, continue for years. Involving disastrous results to Jflnnnfi finance and the creation of a sort of iaifcan difficulty In Corea. He adds that confidence is shown in the Anglo-Jap anese auiance. The Standard's Tien Tsin correspondent ajs mat since July 15 there has been an ICeSsant increase in thft rnncpntrntlnn Ot Russian forces at Port Arthur nr. elsewhere, manv whb immigrants being in reality soldiers. He !jas mat mere is not the slightest Evidence that Russia Intends to withdraw moderate her policy. CHINA GAVE PROMISE. Sovernmcnt Will Insist on Opening of Mnnchurian Ports. WASHINGTON, July 23. The State De- lartment has heard nothing recently frcm hlr. Conger respecting the Manchurian ne- I&tions, so it Is suggested that the Pe report to the effect that the Chinese jvernmont, through Prince Ching, has tecllned to open any Manchurian ports. iefers to a phase of the negotiations dat- lg about two weeks back. The reason for his suggestion Is a knowledge on the part of the officials here that befo;e Secretary Hay's departure for his Summer home the Chinese government actually did pledge Itself to open two or three more ports in Manchuria. If, however, -thero has been any change in the Chinese attitude since the pledge was given, it is said here that the United States Governriient will not move thereby, but holdfng tzstto the pledges already given, will Insist on their redemption. THEIR MISSION A SUCCESS. American Monetary Commissioners Win Converts In Germany. BERLIN, July 23. The conferences of the American and Mexican Monetary Commission with the German committee were concluded today. The -promptness with which the government appointed the German Commissioners, and their speed In dispatching business enabled the Amer icans to finish their work here In one week, whereas they expected to remain three weeks. The Americans and Mexi cans will proceed to St. Petersburg on Sunday. From a statement handed to a corre spondent of the Associated Press by a member of the American Commission, tt appears that a unanimous agreement on u series of resolutions was nsacned, regard, ing a uniform monetary system for China on a gold basis with a sliver circulation. The resolution declares it to be desirable for both China and the gold-using coun tries trading there that a fixed relation of the silver coins to gold be provided. The resolutions further recommend the gold using countries buying silver for subsi diary coinage to observe regularity. The German delegates passed a resolution to the effect that Germany does not need to buy silver, having already about $100,000. 000 above her requirements In circulation. The resolutions disclaim promoting- bi metallism or any change in the mone tary system of the gold countries. The Americans and Mexicans express gratification with the result of their work in Berlin. Creel, of the Mexican Commis sion, said that if the project for a uni form currency for China was soon car ried out, and the silver purchases of Europe and the United States were made regularly, the fluctuations which have been so injurious to the trade between the silver and the gold countries will cease. Representatives of the Chinese govern ment who were present at the conferences at London, Paris and Berlin expressed approval of the proposition to give China a uniformcurrency. STANDS BY CHAMBERLAIN. British Cabinet Comlny to His Opin ion on Tariff Question. LONDON, July 23. Tho educational campaign on the tariff program which Colonial Secretary Chamberlain has vig orously launched by means of leaflets and circulars came In for serious criti cism In the House of Lords this after noon. Earl Spencer, the Liberal-leader, complained that Mr. Chamberlain was practically violating the government agreement, namely, that the)flscal discus sion should be postponed until October. He said the distribution of such litera ture looked on Its face as though tho government had taken up Mr. Chamber lain's views. Earl Spencer added that If Mr. Cham berlain remained in the cabinet it would be almost Impossible to dissociate his views from the policy of tho government as a whole. Tho Duke of Devonshire, Conservative leader In the House, retorted that, while he gathered from tho remarks that the premier ought to tell Mr. Chamberlain to resign, he feared this was a rather illog ical procedure, since, though tho govern ment had by no means yet adopted the views of the colonial secretary, the gov ernment's investigation, so far as It had proceeded, had convinced the premier and his colleagues that Mr. Chamberlain's Im peachment of the fiscal policy was well founded and that changes ought to, bo effected. ' Addressing the Primrose League at a dinner tonight at the Hotel Cecil. Pre mier Balfour warmly defendediMr. Cham- "berlain against unreasonable attacks (be- cause he had given as he had tha rlghtj to do, expression to his 1ewslBnlfthoi coioniat quesuon. ro man, sn.r. .tsauour said, had a better opportunity than Mr. Chamberlain of knowing the views of tho colonies. Mr. Balfour reiterated his pre vious statement that the government ap proached the question with an open "mind and said that It was folly to expect tho ministry on a moment's notice to pro duce a formulated scheme on such a great subject. The government had pledged it self not to ask the country not to make a change until after the general election and premature and hasty parliamentary debate could only produce., divisions among friends without ' benefitting" the country. MAY MAKE ARBITRATION TREATY. Probable Result of French Legisla tors' Visit to London. LONDON. July 23. It is understood that the probable result of the French legislators' visit to London will be the formation of a Franco-British arbitra tion agreement independent of The Hague court.

Loverlng, of Massachusetts, was the principal speaker, discussing "Prac tical Methods of Extending our Export Trade." Congressman Loverlng said In part: "It has come to be a pretty well estab lished fact that a tax for revenue on tho lines of protection to American Indus tries has yielded a fuller measure of pub lic welfare than a tax for revenue only, but It does not follow .that the highest and most prohibitory tariff Is the most protective tax. 4 v "It is a fact that most of the indus tries of our country today are solely In need of now outlets In the' markets of tho world for their products and that the tariff has been so laid that the doors may sometimes swing outward as easily, as they swing Inward." Mr. Loverlng said that the fact is be coming clearer every day that the pro ductive power of the country has been steadily outgrowing the consuming power and that our factories are being direct ly confronted with an Increasing surplus- of products which arc required for domestic consumption. "For my own part." said Mr. Lover lng, "I have been a protectionist all my life, but I believe the principle of protection can be best conserved by meet ing the question promptly arid revising some of tho glaring Iniquities that are now shutting us out of tho markets of the world. "If our legislators are wise they will not antagonize the great growing senti ment In favor of tariff revision, whether It come under what Is known as the 'Iowa Idea or that older and country.-wld demand that has been forcing Itself upon the attention of party leaders for tho past few years." Resolutions were adopted favoring con gressional legislation to relieve our man ufacturing Interests from the present pro hibitory tax on alcohol and stating that other laws relating to the payment of drawback on exported articles of- domes tic manufacture should be amended as provided for In the bill introduced in the last Congress by Congressman Loverlng.

From Enrly Morn Constant stream Passes Into St. Peter's. ROME, May 23. Today the form of Leo XIU lay In state In the Baslllcla of St. Peters, while thousands of persons from the ordinary walks of life filed past to pay their last tributes of love and veneration. The Impressive ceremonies of yesterday were viewed by only a favored few of the nobility, aristocrats and the highest clergy, but today the doors were opened to the entire public. Many re mained on the piazza throughout the hot night In order to gain a place at the head of the line. By 5 o'clock this morning there was a crowd of several hundred, L which bad increased by 6 o'clock to sev eral tnousanas. ' Elaborate preparations had been-made to' guard against accidents. AH converg ing streets were cleared of vehicles, leav ing them free for persons on foot, while six ambulance stations had been erected, including one at the entrance of the piazza and another beside the door of St. Peters. Sodlcrs Guard Cathedral. Exactly at 6 o'clock the bells of the great cathedral began to ring mournfully a small bell beginning in the high notes and the chimes running down through the scale until a deep bass stroke had com pleted the minor chord. At the sound of the first bell two regiments of Italian Grenadiers marched smartly across the piazza to the stone steps, and soon the east portico swarmed for the first time In years with Italian troops 300 on the por tico and 1200 surrounding the colonnades. Tho grenndlers wore long blue service coats and peaked caps. They stood in double column at parade rest, the lines extending from the threshold of the church through a narrow gateway of a temporary wooden structure which was holding back the crowd. At 6:03 the gate was opened and the human tide began to flow In. The Jam at the narrow entrance soon became terrific, threatening serious" results to the struggling mass of half-falntlng women and children. Although the crowd was not extraordinarily large, the steady movement Into the funnpl-llke enclosure made the pressure terrific Many women had their dresses or veils torn off, and some were lifted, exhausted, over the wooden enclosure and out of the crush. Fortunately there were no serious acci dents and the ambulances were not sum moned. Leo's .Shrunken' Features. Within the church temporary railings had been erected to keep the people In a straight line leading to the bier. This was the center to which all eyes turned. The body lay on a catafalque ten feet high, so that all could see It. The body was slightly inclined, with the head raised and facing the passing throng. The visage had a chalky whiteness, and appeared to be unnaturally shriveled. It was robed in the full vestments as tho Roman public knew the Pontiff In life. Around the bier burned 13 high candles, while on each side stood the Noble Guards, motionless. Further back were kneeling priests and acolytes, softly in toning Invocations. The crowd pushed against the iron trel lis which separated the chapel from the main portion of the church, but those who expected to kiss the slippered foot were disappointed, as the officials had. adopted precautionary .measures so that the lower extremities of tho body were half a yard back of the Iron grating. All ranks and stations of life were rep resented In the throng. Many were work ing people; there were also groups of convent girls, under " the care of nuns, and of school boys, headed by priests. The crowds continued to pass before the bier throughout the morning. Requiem 3Inss Snld. At 9:30 A. M. a solemn pontifical requiem mass was celebrated In St, Peters for the repose of the soul of Leo XIII. The crowd was kept constantly moving within the wooden barricades, but other en trances were provided for those desiring to assist at the mass on the other side of the church. Several thousand people were present, although In so vast a church, capable of containing 70;000 per sons, they appeared to bo a mere handful, especially as all were standing. During the hot hours of the day the crowd at St. Peters decreased, arid little difficulty was experienced. In viewing the body. SHALL GREAT BRITAIN MOURN f Redmond Calls on Government to IIalf-Mast Flasrff at Westminster. LONDON, July 23. The first mention of the pope's death In Parliament occurred this afternoon, when William Redmond, Irish Nationalist, asked if the flag on tho Victoria tower, West minster, and those on the oublic grounds would be half-masted, out of re spect .to the late Pope. Victor Cavendish, treasurer Npf the Household, replying for the gpverrisaent. said there was no prece dent. but the question of ordering the half"-mastlng of the flag on public build ings was now under consideration. Mr. Redmond invited a statement on the subject from the Premier, Mr. Balfour, who said It was a question of respect to the dead pope, but universal precedent must be regarded and general rules laid down must be observed, Irrespective of sentiment, otherwise they would be In a difficult position. Precedent did not turn on respect for the personal character of the Individual but on his position. Mr. Redmond then called the attention of the government to the fact that flags "were lowered all over tho United States by the order of President Roosevelt." which would perhaps Influence Brlltsh ac tion: At any rate, he added, the flags might be lowered on the day of the fu neral.
