MINNHrKtTA NOT PROTECTED.
Senator W. 15. IVan cf St. Paul ad
dressed the conference at some length,
stating that a ilolegation had ccme from
Minnesota because of the fact of their
State not being protected under the pres
ent tariff laws.
Former Senator William A. Harris saM:
"The prosperity of thii country must be
four-sided befora It can be permanent.
Agriculture and mining are two rides of
the great temple, and manufacturing and
commerce constitute the other two sides.
We talk about stimulating commerce by
Injecting, uith a t-yrlnge. subsidy provi
sion.' to stimulate the building of steam
ships. This is an absolute quack prescrip
tion. What we want to do Is to make it
rrofltable fr other nation and then ves
sels will be found, without number, sail
ing under the American flag In every sea.
"Mr. McKinley said the period of ex
cluslvenes Is past."
"One ration cannot expect nnother to

Nith concerninK tlie raiinayx in Manchuria. These were supposed likely to
give rise to few differences. Imt. nevertheless, were stuTilornly contested. The
Russians made concession after conccssion.and, they say, the Japanese made
demand upon demand. Finally, on tmth nrtlfles the Russians cave way on all
points. Says my informant, whose authority is indisputable:

CONFERENCE HAS AT LEAST ESTABLISHED
PRESENT INTEGRITY OF CHINES E EMPIRE
"Tlie conference, whatever its issue, lias lieen justified, for. If It fall. !t has
at least otHMicd the way to a stilisi-quent conference, when a favorable Issue
may lie expected. Amid much that Is uncertain, one fact seems to be estab
lished. Ilr agreement of Isith Powers, recognition of China as the sovereign
Power in Manchuria tin lvn determined, and the rights which bad lieen lost
to her by the i:us!au military occupation since the summer of 1W0 will tie
restored.
"Lilian, since the mar liegan. has succeeded In keeping China quiet by s-siirln-;
her that her iiiterenl:: In Manclitiria would W safegitardeil. Before the
war broke out she nffieially informs: tlie Chinese Minister in Toklo that war
was inevitable: that Chlii.t must preterre neutrality and that her Interests In
Manchuria wmild nd Iw IiiiKriIisl. and they have not been Imperiled.
"It seems to me that the Japanc:? terms, tm far as at present known, are
lioih reasnn-ible and nusbrate. I venture to assert that In China Itself they will

RUSSIAN CONTENTION AS TO CESSION
OF SAKHALIN AND JAPANESE ARGUMENT.
" 'The cession of Sakhalin Is Incompatible with the dignity of Rus
sia. sa s Witte. who appears to resent as a national humiliation the loss of
an island which has. since Its occupation by Russia, in virtue of the treaty
t May 7. 1ST5, Tieen exclusively used as a dumping ground tor tne worst
class of Russian criminals and the more irreconcilable of Russian political
offenders.
"Witte claims that, apart from Sakhalin. Japan has Increased her ter
ritory threefold. The Japanese maintain that in no sense is this true. Their
territory has been increased only by tb? leaned area of Southern Liaotung
.enmsnla.
"Japan has not acquired any territorial possession In Korea. Her
commercial expansion in Korea has certainly given her a predominant po
sition, and the recognition by Russia of this fact does not imply any con
veyance of territory. Korea retains such independence as was secured for
her by Japan by her victory over China, whose dependant she was. What
ever measure of independence this neglected barbaric kingdom enjoys she
ones to Japan.
"The power of eonirnereial expansion of Russia In Korea remain. ta
dees that of ail the Powers. Every commercial right that Russia enjoyed
before, she enjoys now. Everything that haa passed In the conference indi
cates that there is no intention oa the part of Japan to thwart the legiti
mate commercial and industrial expansion of Russia in the far East.
"Russia's power of aggression, so fully exercised hitherto, will be
checked, but her industrial development will remain unhampered."
