RUSSIA AND CHINA.
rs Russia Trying 10 Play the Same
Game with the GeIestials


LONDON, May 4.-Dispatches from Iien
Tsin state that the dispute between China
and Russia regarding the frontier of Man
chooria has become acute, owing to the
non-nrriyal of the Russian members of the
delimitation commission and the constant
postponement of the dnte of their arrival
at the place of meetingto settle the bound
airy. The Chinese commissioners have
been ready for the past several months to
begin the work of delimitation, and the
failure of the Russian commissioners to
meet them has caused the Chinese govern
ment to fear that the same course pursued
by Russia respecting the Afghan frontier
will be followed in this case
Now TINT the difficulty with France in
relation to Tonquin has been settled,
Chinn hns become courageous and has de-
innnded TINT Russia fulfil her part of the
agreement Of the commission. II is said
thut China has also intimated TINT she il
| quite prepared to enforce her claims il
regard to the frontier of Manchooria
The Chinese allege that the Russians have
been constantly encroaching upon Chi
nese territory ever since the Ignatie1
agreement of 1860.

Not So Large am Acreage as Reported
Last Year.

CHICAGO, May 2.-The Times summa-
rizes its special advices from the spring
wheat belts of the west and northwest
this morning as follows: The area
sown to the cereal shows con-
siderably less than that re-
ported last year. Rumors of an i'm
pending European war came too late for
farmers to prepare their ground for
larger crops. The seeding in the Red river
valley is 10 days earlier than at this time
last year and the acreage has been largely
increased, owing, it is said, to the devel.
opment of the country and the bountiful
yields harvested in past years.
In Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wis
consin unreasonable weather has re-
tarded farm work. The acreage Of
spring wheat in these states will
suffer a decrease of fully 15 per cent,
and in some counties seed already planted
will have to be plowed up, water from
swollen streams having soaked into the
ground and destroyed the germ.

Dr. Rurcl,ard,. Farewell ser,non,

The Rev. DR.. s. .. Bnrchnrd Sunday
morning preached his farewell sermon ny
pastor of the Murray Hill Presbyterian
Church, in New York. At the close of
his sermon he reviewed his ministerial
career from 1889, when he arrived in
New York and took charge of the Hous-
ton Street Presbyterian Church, where
he remained pastor for 40 consecutive
years. The Murray Hill Church grew
out of that organization, but did not
prosper ms the old church, owing to the
hard times. DIR. Burchard said the church
now needed younger and lighter pastor,
who could climb any number of stairs
and do missionary work. The trustees OF
the church passed resolutions a few nights
ago, stating that the only cause for DR..
Burchard's departure was his age.
