CABINET TO MEET
PRESIDENT AND ADVISORS WILL
DISCUSS MANCHURIAN
AFFAIR.
MEETING TO BE HELD Hi ST. LOUS
IMPORTANCE OF QUESTION RE-
SPONSIBLE FOR UNUSUAL
OCCURRENCE.
WAITING FOR RUSSIA'S REPtff
STATE DEPARTMENT WILL NOT
ACCEPT PRESS REPORTS
OF DENIAL-
Washington, April 30. An impor
tant conference between the president
and the members of his cabinet to
consider the Manchuraan affair will be
held in St. Louis, probably to-night.
The special train bearing the presi
dent and his party will arrive at St.
Lou's this afternoon at 4:10. Pr"esi
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Shaw,
Who is to be one of the party at that
time, will be joined there 'by other
members of the cabinet.
The state department is waiting for
Russia's reply to the inquiry as to the
meaning of several of the demands
made on China in the proposed treaty.
The department does not accept the
press report of the Russian foreign
office denial. Russia aoes not answer
diplomatic inquiries through the col
umns of the newspapers. The depart
ment is inclined to suspect that the
press associations have been imposed
upon.
If this press report from St. Peters
burg were true, Ambassador McCor
mick ought to be able to get the same
denial from the foreign office or Am
bassador Cassini ought to be able to
make denial to Secretary Hay. Neither
of these things have happened. The
-government has received no reply
from Russia. Its inquiries as to the
meaning of The proposed treaty
Have Not Been Answered.
Count Cassini on Sunday said he
had no official advices from St. Pe
tersburg, but Jie assured Secretary
Hay that Russia would not shut out
American commerce from Manchuria.
He intimated that Russia would cover
this question in new commercial
treaties with the United States. The
state department has the beat of rea
sons to believe that Minister Conger
received information regarding the
new treaty from the Chinese .foreign
office.

THE DAILY
patch rroni ci. ee.-c-iriDurg is iua.t oic
statement accredited to the Russian
foreign office was given to the press
association to quiet the agitation and
as an indication that since the United
States* had advised China not to sign
the treaty Russia would not press it.
This is what Russia did two years ago.
It is regarded as probable that Russia
will let the treaty rest and continue
I her occupation of Manchuria. This
I she may do without criticism from the
other powers because they have not
i kept their promises to withdraw all
I troops except legation guards from
China.
The government will make every
peaceful diplomatic effort to protect
our interests in Manchuria, and, while
the state department hopes that Rus
sia has concluded not to press the
treaty on China, it cannot accept a
press report. It wants an official reply
to its inquiries from Russia,
LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
Russia's Minister of War Starts on a
Special Train for Manchuria.
St. Petersburg, April 30.The war
minister, Gen. Kuropatkin, started on
a special train yesterday for Man
churia,. He will possibly go to Japan.

inspection of Manchuria, will be ab
sent two months and will visit Port
Arthur, Dalny and Vladivostok. Al
though the general's intention to make
the trjp was announced publicly some
weeks ago, his departure has excited
speculation in view of the recent news
from Manchuria. The marine tuinis-
teT has decided to order the construc
tion of twenty gunboats for the pro
tection of the Russian frontier at the

CHICAGO.
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $l,25O,0CO
BUILDINGS COVERING NEARLY
SIXTEEN ACRES ARE
WIPED OUT.
GIVES flREVltN A HARD EIGHT
THREE GRAIN BOATS ON CALU
MET RIVER ARE ALSO
DESTROYED.
Chicago, April 30.The plant of the
International Salt company, located at
South Chicago, with ghree boats Shying
in the Calumet river, were destroyed
by fire last night. The loss is esti
mated at 31,250.00G, that of the "Inter
national Salt company being placed at
$800,000. The buildings of xhe salt
company plant covered nearly sixteen
acrec, extending along the 'Calurfiet
river. In these touildings were stored
400,000 tons of salt, and the greater
part of Tthis is s&i'd to have oeen ruined
by Are and water. Included in the
company's loss are the di ks extend
ing 1,00 feet along the Calumet river.
The ftre threatened to dpread to a
number of grain elevators along the
river and to other large manuiactur
ing plants, hut after a hard fight the
flames were got under control. About
125 freight cars were consumed. Fifty
of the burned cars art said to have be
longed to the Michigan Central rail
way.
Easy Prey to the Flames.
The fire was discovered by a i
watchman, who noticed a small flame
creeping over the edge of the roof of 'i
one of the sheds at u.e plant. He
turned in an alarm 1 before fhe
first engines arrived cie of the big
sheds was a roaring furnace. The I
first alarm was followeu by several ad
ditional calls for engines. Streams of
water from every side were poured on
the sheds, but as the buildings were
constructed of pine, and the roofs of i
tarred paper, the imlammable material
fell an easy prey to the flames.
The wind blew the flames against
*he three grain boats tied up in the
Calumet and Peavey elevator docks
and soon the vessels were on fire from
decks to the top of the masts. A fire
boat 4hat was ponTinj water on the I
salt sheds was summoned to save the
boats, but before it 'could reach them
they sank. 2
