RUSSIAN ADVANCES.
Establishing the Frontier Between Russi
and China

Establishing the Frontier Between Russia
and China,
LONDON, Sept 2S.-Advices have just
reached Peking from Kashgar that the Rus
sian exploring party, SO cal lei, whose
operations In the Pamir Plateau have
caused SO many mlsgivings on the Indian
frontier, has determined TO push east
ward to a point claimed by Russia
as the frontier between her possessions
and those of China, and which was extorted
from Yakoob Khan at the time of the Khoja
invasion some years ago, but which China
Rfterward repudiated. If the claim is
maintained it will give Russia number of
imnortant towns, including the valuable
fortress of COlOOkchat 1t is expected
that Wen Chang Tang, military Gov
ernor of Chinese Turkestan, will leave for
AltIsheyr TO protest in person against the
contemplated Russian advance. This state
of affairs IS believed to account for the sud-
den eagerness manifested by the Chinese
Government to stop the hnstilities Of the
people Of certain portions of the empire
against Europeans and Americans.

church accommodations in Berlin. He

The Emperor's idea is that in these lOcali-

largely from the eye of the municipal po-

TO secure converts, and that the best means
OF fighting the socialistic propaganda is a
