Tt wbr learned here today that the Gor man f'onsul at Harbin had sided with lr Fisher RRninst t h demands of Rua n!nn anthoritir?. tvhh'h involved the stsn InK by foreign and 'hinese resident? of h juiper acreeins to nb?y the ordinances of the Harbin muim-ipa! rouneil to pay tn xes. This con noil is composed of six member, three nominated and three Her ted to office. The president of the rouncil is named by the railroad and In t ills manner Russian control is assured. The French Consul at Harbin acquiesced In the Russian demand. It is believed here that the real reason behind the protest of China and the sup port jriven this protest by the American and Ormnn consuls, is to be less in ob jection to a change In the form of the Russian administration of Harbin than Jn the a ('prehension aroused by the ag gress've and fnr-reaching policy of Japan in Southern Manchuria. Says Clilna Mas Hostile. It in assert ed here that China is re sponsible for thp uniting of the policies of Russia and Japan in Manchuria. When Jtussla, after the close of the war with Japan, attempted to resume normal re lations with China, she encountered an attitude of hostility and distrust and finally decided that her Manchtirian In terests would be best protected by a working agreement with Japan.

VESSEL SANK INSTANTLY Tijrer Cut Squarely in Two by Col lision With Cruiser Berwick lur inir Maneuver In Channel With Marked Light. PORTSMOUTH, Kgland.. April 3. Thirty-six men. Including lieutenant Middleton, the commander of the torpedo-boat destroyer T. iger. lost their lives In the collision off the Isle of Wight last night between that vessel and the British cruiser Berwick. The vessels belong to the Portsmouth division of the British home fleet and were engaged in night maneuvers In the channel while on their way to Portland. The night was very dark and the Berwick was steaming slowly. When the destroyer attempted to cross the bigr cruiser's bow she was caugrht amidships and cut In half with knife like precision, sinking almost lmmeril fttely. The deck crew, who wert jressed In he-uvy oilskins and boots, went down with the vrssel. not having: time to free themselves fiom their heavy Incumbrances. Of the 22 men who were rescued. mo?t were engineers and atnkers who, having light cloth ing, were able to keep themselves afloat until boats from oter ships which were Immediately launched picked them up. Several Men Kilned. The collision occurred at S:10 last night. The ships were maneuvering without lights. It Is believed that several of the men were kflleld by the impact. Tugs were dispatched to the scene of the disaster at daylight today and divers made an attempt to recover the bodies of the men who were drowned. The smaller naval vessels were In the midst of an attack on their 'larger consorts when the disaster occurred. The entire fleet was under masked lights in absolute darkness and the Tiger was suddenly struck squarely amidships by the Berwick. The sharp stem of thia vessel cut the destroyer In two as If she had been made of paper. The forward half sank In stantly. Most of the men sank before help cottid reach them. The warships in the immediate vicinity quickly had their boats overboard and the scene of the tragedy was brilliantly illum inated by a concentration of search lights. The after portion of the Tiger floated for a minute ot two. Just long enough to enable tnose on board to seize -life belts. They threw them selves Into the water and were able to keep afloat until picked up. Lieu tenant William E. Middleton was on the bridge nt the time of the disaster and went down with the forepart of the ship. The Tiger had a comple ment of 3 men and was of 400 tons. Eye-Witnesw Talks. An officer who was an eyewitness to the sinking oft he Tiger gave the following account of the accident: "The ilrst we knew that anything had happened we saw a flash and heard heard a loud report. This we supposed vfl8 caused by a gun. In reality, however, the flash and report resulted from the sea wa ter reaching the boiler-room of the Tiger, causing: en escape of tRm. which must havr Doom or Dawn Herbert C. Alleman wrote to some of the greatest busi ness men in America, asking them if the Golden Rule is practicable in the business world if any commercial methods sanctioned by trade are at variance with the teach ings of Christianity if the standards are higher or lower than they used to be. The answers to these questions by such men as T. Coleman Du Pont, of the Du Pont Powder Company; John Wanamaker, John D. Arch bold, of the Standard Oil Company ; John H. Converse, of the Baldwin Locomotive Works; Russell Colgate, of Colgate & Company, and sev eral others, are worth reading.
