KANSAS. Topeka, April 4.

The municipal elections in Kansas this year have been of much more than the usual interest. Mr. Nation's crusade and the subsequent widespread re vival of interest in the enforcement of prohibition combined to make the city elections the battlefields upon which, in a large measure, would depend the ultimate fate of the prohibitory law. 'Jfhe results of the various elections over the state, Tuesday, serve to show that the prohibitory sentiment is still in the ascendancy. In Atchison and Leavenworth the tem perance issue was not brought up.

city improvements and other qoes tions taking the precedence. In Wich ita the temperance people made fight for supremacy, but polled only about 18 per cent, of the vote.

Has Teadeaer Kaon the Dlplematl. 'OaUlate Oaesslaa. Washington, April 9. Tbe Chinese minister was an early caller at the state department to seek information as to the report, based on advices to the state department, that there had been an Interruption of the diplomatic intercourse between Russia and China. Mr.

Wu hod not been advised of any such development, and the Information before the state department was so contradictory that it did not permit any clear explanation of the real state of affairs. A Daaht Arises. The doubt arises from the fact that Mr. Rockhill's latest dispatch docs not mention any such disarrangement and the officials feel bound to accept this as pretty strong evidence thut prior intimations of discord have not tnkeu actual form. Yet the dispatch received from Mr.

Squires, the American charge d'affaires, ic the absence of Minister Conger, appear to have been quite explicit that the difficulty already had made itself manifest. It is thought possible at the state de partment that the circumstances to which Mr. Squires refers occurred prior to the receipt in Pekin of the last Russian note, and that the trou ble may have been adjusted subse quently. An Attitude of Expectancy. The state department maintains an attitude of doubt and expectancy, and is not yet prepared to admit that there has been an interruption of intercourse between the two countries, either limited or complete.

Aside from the telegraphic advices there are some attending circumstances which indicate that at least me strain or partial inferrnj tion of intercourse has occurred. The fact developed in Washington, about a week ago, that Russia had delivered to China what amounted to an ultimatum on the signing of the Man-churian agreement. This followed the usual course of untimatums and fixed a definite limit of days within which China could act. It also con veyed the clear intimation that unfavorable action by China would lead to a severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The Limit Hi, Expired.

The limit of time fixed is believed to hate been one week and to have expired last Wednesday. China did not sign within tln time limit and the next day, Thursday, Russia addressed her note to the powers which has been accepted as removing the pres sure over the Mcnchurian agreement. This at first seemed to be. a waiver of her prior intimation Of an interruption of diplomatic intercourse, and yet there was no such explicit, waiver, and the latest advices from Pekin reporting that an interruption has now actually occurred, seem to be directly in line with the threat previously conveyed. In cate there proves to be an interruption of the relations between Russia and China, it is not expected to disarrange the negotiations between tbe powers and China or between Russia and the powers.

It probably would be confined to a termination of the close ententelong, maintained between Russia and China. AGNEW HAS THE PICTURE. Arrival of C. Morlaad Anew la Ea. aland with th iteeevered Gala.boroaarh Picture.
