low the old toll gate. He was driving

from the bushes at the side of the road.
One attempted to get hold of the
horses, and the other climbed up on
the step of the wagon, announcing that
he "wanted all Pullman's stuff in
short shapel"
Pullman, however, pulling his gun.
dropped the fellow off the step into the
road. Apparently the highwayman
was not very badly hurt, for he clasped
his hand to his breast and darted into

FRIDAY EVENING. MAR. Is, 1895.

SELF RESPECTING Southern people.
contemplating a visit to New York,
would do well to remember that Dir.
lilly Haynes, the proprietor of the
Central Hotel, on Broadway, in that
city, who is so pronounced in his adj
miration of the section in which be
was born that he likes to be called
Yankee Haynes, says, according to the
newspapers of his city: Talk about
Southern trade. That is what bank
rupted the st. Nicholas; that is what
shut up the New York Hotel and the
Metropolitan, and busted up the Grand
Central before / took hold here. New
England trade is far preferable to me"
Heretofore it has not been denied,
even in his own section, that Yankee
would make his prejudices subservient
to his interests, but Mr.. Haynes is q
notable exception to the general rule.

JAPAN WILL YIELD.
Russia'S Demand for RelinQuiSh-
ment of Territory
Will be Conceded in COnsidera-
tiOn Of an Equivalent.
MORE MONEY WANTED.
1t is Thought Russia Will Not
be Satisfied
MORE MONEY WANTED.
And the Situation is Still Re-
garded as Critical.

WASHINGTON. May 4-Information
has reached Washington to show that in
response to Russion intimations, Japan
has abated her claims to the cession of
Chinese territory in Manchuria, and now
offers to demand only the absolute ces-
sion of the extremity of the Port Arthur
peninsula as far north as, and including
fallen Wan.
In return for this REIMBURSEMENT of
territory Japan will demand considera-
BILE increase of the war indemnity, origi-
nails fixed at 200,O00,000 taels.
1t is feared that this concession will
not be sufficient to meet the demands of
Russia, which will insist upon an entire
abandonment of Lao Tung peninsula.
The Russian reasoning is that by the
occupation of Port Arthur the Japanese.
will dominate Manchuria as effectually
as if she had the nominal title to the
province. Reserving Port Arthur as a
military base and opening a great COM
mercial Eort at Talien Wan the Japanese
would connect the latter by rail with
New Chwang on the line of the pro-
jected Chinese railroad from Pekin to
Moukden and divert the entire
trade of New Chwang and Moukden
at least in winter, when all of the other
Manchurian ports are closed 1t would
be impossible for Russia to locate west
ern terminal port for the Siberian rail-
way anwhere in Mancheria, as it
would be easily closed by the
Japanese from their powerful
base at Port Arthur, which would
dominate from military point
of view not only Manchuria and the gulf
of Pc Chi Ii, but also Wei Hal Wei, only
forty miles across the straits. Nothing
is known here respecting the reported
failure of peace ratifications, but it is
felt that the situation is critical, and that
Japan's last concession will not alleviate
