his attitude In this matter prompted
Russia to week an explanation of his
course at Washington.

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

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.

DEATH ROLL IS '36
Majority of Crew of Torpedo
Boat Destroyer Lost.
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:

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.
They throw light on the
question which is vexing our
generation, "Are we honest or
not?"

means the streets, grades and title have all been passed on
by the different city officers. We can now sell lots in
Evanston, and request those who have made reservations
within the last few days to come to our office and make their
first payments and sign "contract for rjurchase."
Q A gentleman came into our office today and picked out
a lot (lot 5, block 1). This lot is on East Twenty-sixth street
close in. He paid $500 for it, and he says that, after a
close investigation of at least a half-dozen tracts in this city,
EVANSTON has more to commend it than any other tract
in the city. He bases his judgment on First, it is high and
sightly; second, it has good drainage this insures health.
Then again, it is only 14 minutes' ride on the W.-W. carline.
This means little waste of time going back and forth to
business. The soil ia as rich as-is possible for soil to be.
This means garden and plenty of flowers. Evanston is in
the immediate neighborhood of good homes. This means
desirable neighbors.
EVANSTON, while a small tract, is really the most ideally
suited piece of land in Portland for the man of limited
capital. A full-size lot for $400 ON $10 A MONTH pay
ments, and if you say so, we will build a house to your own
liking, and you may pay for it on installments, too.
Tomorrow (Sunday), rain or shine, we will be at EVANS
