Czar's Reform Program Clark Jcm els Recovered Liquor Dealer' Leg islative Fund General Brlstow Re signs New Commissioner of Pen sions Big Fire In Oswego. The status of tho thousand-ton barge canal Is becoming hourly more com plex and uncertain. Governor Higgint expressed the opinion that nothing would bo done in tho way of awarding contracts or issuing bonds until every vital question nllectlng the constitu tionality of the canal act of 1903, and the regularity of the procedure of the state olIUIuls thus far under Its pro visions, had been clearly determined. Superintendent Frnnchot of the -lo-pnrtment of public works has pub ponded decision upon the bids of the competing contractors for the first six contracts pending the determina tion of the question raised. Comptroller Kulscy will make no ef fort to issue- bonds tv. raise money for the beginning of. the work until he Is satisfied that no doubt can be cast upon their validity. Attorney General Mayer - has al ready begun the study of the statute with refurence to Us coustltutlonrllty and to tho other Issuus raised. The state ofllcers all agree that the agita tion In progress must be stttled be yond question before the bonds can have any market value. It is further agreed by all concerned that to award contracts in tho present situation mlpht "rendi-r the state li able to damages and open the wav to endless litigation. In any case, it is now evident that considerable litiga tion Is inevitable before work can be gin on tho cunal enlargement. Comptroller Kelsey Bald that while the bonds themselves were ready for issue, no sale would be advertised un til contracts had actually been award ed. Clark Jewels Recovered. Burled In a glass jar on the north side of West 158th street. In New York city, between Eighth and Cen tral avenues, private detectives have found more than $25,000 worth of Jewelry, the property of Mrs. Ambrose Clark, the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Potter, the wife of Bishop Henry C. Potter, which had been Btolen from Feruleigh, the Clark home at Coop erstown, on July 7 last. William Coleman, a noted New York thief, the major portion of whose GO years have been spent in penal 'Institutions, has been arrested. Coleman was arrested here on July 20 last by central office detectives and held by a magistrate at Cooperstown until Nov. 17 lr.st, when the grand jury falling to Indict him, ho was released. However, he' has been kept constantly under surveillance. Last week the "shadows" report ed that Coleman was actfng myster iously., going to unfrequented spots in tho upper end o'. Harlem, .apparently as though endeavoring to determine whether he was being watched. Early on Jan. 3 Coleman went to a brick wall surrounding an Iron foundry in West 158th street, where -he began digging in the snow but did not re main long. Three or four times afterwards Colo man was seen to dig there and then go away. On Monday last' the detec tives went to the place, where they foiind a white stone nearly: a foot square. Under this they found a package which proved to be a glass fruit Jar, with a nine cover, wrapped In a piece of thin-Vhite rubber cloth, secured with rubber bands nnd twine. In the Jar were a number of snjall parcels tied un In soiled white nnislin. the largest of which" contained a pearV and diamond collar of 14 strands of gems. When, all the packages had been opened, all the Clark jewelry was found, with the exception of n gold chain, a gold pencil and a smnll diamond ring. ' Prince Mlrsky's Resignation. The czar has not accepted Prince Svlatopolk-Mirsky's resignation of tha ministry of the Interior. The minister has informed his majesty of his 'do sire to be relieved of the oflrce bo cause the imperial reform program did not go far enough "to meet hla views, but the emperor so far has per suaded him to remain in the minis- . , L r Prince SvIatopolkMlrsky a .rf ,f,. ment soon, however, Is regarded7) certjjj and M.

That President Fritz LIndingor of the New York State Liquor Deal ers' association raised a fund of upward of $23,000, ostensibly for the purpose of influencing legislation at the last session ot tho state legisla ture; that he and other members of the association's "legislative commit- too" brought the money to Albany and spent some of it at least In "treat ing" members of both houses of the legislature, including "loans of $50, $25 or J 10," and that for the expend iture of the fund the association re ceived no return in the form of legis lative or official action, either prom ised or accomplished; this seems to be the subitnnce of the long expected report from the New York grand Jury on the subject of legislative corrup tion at Albany. This is the interpretation placed upon the matter by Governor Hlgglns in a statement he has Issued. In it the governor expressly exonerates legislators and other state officers al leged o have been concerned in the matter from charges of Improper ac tion under the Influence of the saloon keepers' committee or its funds; but he takes occasion to deprecate the custom of irresponsible "legislative committees" raising money for the purpose of influencing legislation and suggest the propriety of legislation to put o stop to It, undertaking to sign any proper bills on that subject which may be passed to him by the legislature. Joseph L. Brlstow Resigns. .Joseph L.

American Government Will Do Whai It Can to Save China and Other Neu tral - Powers From Complication! Which Would Follow Extension ol Hostilities to Chinese Territory. ! Washington, Jan. J.7. China's at tention ins, again been indirectly In vlted ngjjwu American government tc the nece'Mf il..fnr a faithful malnten- ance'pf hormtrallty, not only in hei personal Interest but in the interest of the world's peace. Secretary Hay on the receipt of th full text of Count Lamsdorft's note ex pressing Russia's belief that China's neutrality had been repeatedly violat ed, prepared instructions for . the American chargo at Pekln, directing him to make inquiry of the Chinese government regarding the situation It is specifically declared that this action cannot in any way be con strued as indicating that this govern ment assumes responsibility for the charges made by Russia. Indeed this government has received no In formation through its legation at Pe kln nor through the various American consulates In China that the Chinese are violating the rules of neutrals. Nevertheless, in view of Russia's ex pressed anxiety over the situation in China which her investigation dis closes, the American government is ready to do what it can to save China and the other neutral powers from the far-reaching conipHatl'ons which it Is feared would -fuHow an extension to Chinese territory of the zone of hostilities. Sir Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador, and Baron Bussche, the German charge d'affaires, saw Acting Secretary of State Loomls on the sub ject. As the representative of the government from which emanated the suggestion that the American govern ment invite the powers concurrently to urge on Russia and Japan the re specting oi ninese neutrality, uie baron's visit was significant. Later the day came the Japanese minister, who said positively that Japan desired sincerely to adhere to her agreement regarding China's neutrality. Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister, called on Secretary Hay at his home. Although 111, the secretary is keeping in close touch with the- situation nnd it can be stat ed that this government by no means has abandoned the hope China may yet be saved from an extension of hostilities. In a. conversation Mr. Takahlra, the Japanese minister, reiterated that Japan desired and intended, if possi ble, to adhere strictly to her agree ment to respect China's neutrality. "But," he added, "If Russian generals Invite them to Mongolia our command ers under the circumstances could hardly be expected to refuse the In vitation." Proposed Water Supply Tunnel.

Nearly a hun dred representatives of shipping In- i?rest8 assembled In the office of Sec retary Metcalf of the department of commerce and labor to discuss with the secretary and the officials of the steamboat Inspection service regard ing the proposed regulations of the service, the adoption of which was recommended recently i,y jne board oi supervising inspectors. Some of the shipping Interests have suggested modifications of the pro posed regulations in some respects. They are anxious, as George A. White, assistant general manager of the Hud son River Daylight line, and J. C. Evans, western manager of the An rhor line, at Buffalo, have Indicated to Secretary Metcalf, to co-operate with the government In making their ser vice above criticism.
