CHINA s t il l h o ld in q o u t . Russian Demands In Manchuria Have Not Yet Been Granted. Tokio. June 16.— The Mainichi pub lishes a dispatch giving the alleged history of the Manchurian secret tre aty on the authority of a Minister who said that China had refused to com ply with the Russian demands, and that Planchou, acting Russian Minist er, had wired to Europe that China had accepted. After the powers protested, China sent another refusal to Russia, whose government paid no attention. The Russians have not withdrawn their demands, which presumably are still lying on the table of the Chinese Foreign Minister. The Minister states that the secret treaty will probably be signed private ly, and It Is Imperative that Japan should protest and assist China in re sisting the Russian demands. The Asahl’s Tien-Tsin correspond ent, under date of May 21, says Russia hag assembled 7000 troops at Llaoyan, with a view to carrying out maneu vers on a large scale in that quarter in a few days. The Corean government on May 23 instructed the Governor of Wiju to ar rest Coreans who have sold their land and houses either to Russians or Chi nese, and warned him that he will be held responsible for the execution of this order. Press reports of the proceedings of the Diet now sitting show that the government has encountered some dif ficulty in supplying the recent de mands for Information of a consider able section of the members in regard to Russian action in Manchuria. The main question of Russian demands is awaiting the arrival of M. Lessar, Rus sian Minister to Pekin, from St. Pet ersburg. The Chinese riots In Kwangsl Prov ince have developed in violence, and it Is unofficially reported that the French Consul at Tonking has represented to the Pekin Government that unless the insurgents are suppressed French troops will be sent across the frontier to quell the disturbance. im p o r t a n t l a n d r u l in g . When Land la Non-Mineral Even Though It Contains Minerals. Washington, June 14.— In a recent contest arising in the State of Wash ington, the Secretary of the Interior holds that when the field notes and surveyor’s returns make no notation whatever of minerals In public lands that have been surveyed, such lands are considered and treated as given a non-mineral classification by the sur veyor. Furthe, that lands classified as non-mineral at the time of the Govern ment survey are o f the class of lands subject to selection in lieu of lands relinquished within forest reserves, and the character of the lands so class ified and selected will not be investi gated on a protest presented after the survey and selection, and alleging the present mineral character of the lands. The importance of this decision is manifest. In the case at Issue the Northern Pacific Railway Company relinquished a tract in the Rainier Forest Reserve and selected in lieu thereof a tract of equal area in Mon tana. One year after the filing of this lieu selection a coal declaratory state ment was offered by an individual for the tract selected, and was rejected because of the prior selection by the railroad company. Investigation of the records disclosed the fact that while adjoining lands had been re ported by the surveyors as containing coal deposits, no such reference was made to the tract In controversy. Therefore, the Secretary held the land to be classified as non-mineral. The man filing the coal declaratory state ment went so far as to allege that the land he sought would produce coal In commercial quan tities. His allegations, however, were overruled, as the prior selection by the railroad company could not be affected by a filing made one year later. Hence the lieu aelectlon was approved, notwithstanding the appar ent mineral character o f the lands. Had the lands been originally classi fied as coal lands, the railroad selec tion would have been rejected. Civil Commissioner Is Appointed. Washington, June 16.— Alvord Coo ley, o f Westchester, N. Y., has been appointed Civil Commissioner by Pres ident Roosevelt to succeed James R. Garfield, appointed Commissioner of Corporation. Senator Platt, of New York, took lunch with the President today, remaining at the White House until nearly 3 o’clock. After his con ference with the President he an nounced Mr. Cooley’s appointment. He did not Indicate that Mr Cooley was his selection for the place. In deed, It is said that the appointment was decided on some time ago. Finds a Prehistoric City. Chicago.

EBY an Ingenious arrangement to help him out when the wagon becomes stuck in the mud. The picture almost explains Itself, showing, as it does, how the in vention gives a leverage near the cir cumference o f the wheel, instead of compelling the team to pull direct on the axle, ns heretofore. From each lend of the doubletree a rod runs back to the upper end of a lever pivoted on the axle. Attached to these levers are pawls, which engage the teeth of the ratchet wheels, the latter being secur ed to the rear wheels of the wagon. When a team is pulling a heavy load the doubletree vibrates, owing to the fact that the two horses do not step in unison and do not pull exactly to gether. It is this vibration that Is util ized in applying the device, as It en ables the pawls to gecure alternate hold on the teeth of either wheel, thus gradually working the wagon out of the rut or up the steep hill. When the team Is traveling smoothly on a level road the pnwls ride Idly In the ratchets without Interfering with the rotation of the wheel. F h e n r i n a T a b le .
