CHINA REFUSED A DEMAND.
Russia Asked Railway Concession Into
pekin.

SHANGHAI. May l6.-The tsung-i-
yamen Chinese foreign office has re-
piled to the Russian minister ut Pekin.
NJ. de Giers that the government is un-
able to accede to the Russian demand
made last Wednesday for new rail-
way concession connecting Pekin with
Russia's present system in Manchuria.
No, since the taking of Port Arthur by
Russia have the Chinese been SO agi-
tated as over this demand. Whether
NJ. de Giers named specific route is
NOT vet ob,ainable. some officials stat.
| ing tina, only preliminary notice was
given by Russia and others that she i
| asking for line direct from Pckln te
Shan n-Hai-kwon.
Certainly the British legation in Pc
kin had no previous knowledge that
such proposal was coming from st
Petersburg. The concession asked fol
would ruin the existing northern rail
ways in which British capital to thu
amount of G2.0O0.1OO is invested. :bu
there seems to be no alternative route
without interfering with plans for rail
way extension which the Chinese them
selves have in mind.

Hone KONG, May l6.-The native OBJ
lection to the occupation by British
forces Of the new territory, kow Loon,
opposite Hong Kong, has suddenly been
renewed. About 800 men Of the Hong
Kong regiment with machine guns, are
leaving here, while the volunteers have
been warned to be in readiness for any
emergency. The British second class
gunboat Swift and three other gunboats
are proceeding to sea under sealed or
ders. These warships have 900 men on
board.
The territory back of the Hinterland
is also disturbed and Chinese troops
have been sent there.
In all $50 infantry soldiers, 100 ar
tillerymen, 80 engineers and 500 marines
have gone to the kow Loon Hinterland.
The greatest secrecy is observed as to
the plans of the British authorities, and
nothing is definitely known regarding

of troops will advance on Tai Pc Flu and
cut of the rebels and drive them from

The gun vessels engaged in the opera
tions have been provisioned for elgh
days. Troops are patrollins the Euro

UP the distance between her and the
shamrock until, when the mark was
reached, but a quarter of a mile away,
less than a 100 yards separated them
The Shamrock was to windward. A
hundred feet away and the Columbia
had closed the gap. Her prov Just
Tapped the Shamrock's stern. Under
the rules they must pass the float with
the red ball on the starboard end.
AS the balloon jibs ratified down on
both boats preparatory to the gybe, the
spectators held their breath It did not
seem possible that the Columbia could
squeeze in between the mark and the
Shamrock. 1t seemed Inevitable that
unless the Yankee boat kept away I'M

would be a collision, or the Columbia
would foul that float But C. Oliver
Iselin played the limit. On he came.

around, while the Columbia seemed to
scrape the float as she wore about with
helm hard down. Though the sham
rock rounded first by nine seconds, she
swept around so far on the outside that
as both boats came up and their sails
filled away, Columbia not only had the
Weather guage, but was In the lead. No
more reckless piece of courage was
ever seen in an international race. Had
the Columbia so much as touched the
float, she would have been disqualified.
The patriots cheered and the excursion
steamers blew their whistles
A few minutes later, after a few short
tacks, the Shamrock tried to cross the
defenders bows, but failed. The beat
to windward was by far the most in
teresting portion of the race, while
two yachts slashed straight out to sea
through the long heavy swells, heeling
to the breeze, with crews piled up on
the weather rail
There was plenty of spray and every
man aboard was as wet as if he had
been under shower bath. The CO.
lumbia careened less to the wind than
her rival. AS the wind began to die
out and hope of finishing the race began
to vanish. the two boats split tacks
and did not come together again for a
long time, keeping every one guessing
as to which was ahead. During this
f1uky period, everybody agreed that the
Shamrock was the better handled.
Twenty minutes before the race was
declared off, the Shamrock headed
across the Columbia's bow
No one knew until the yachts were
within one hundred feet of each other.

the Shamrock put her helm up, unable
to make it, from both sides Of the
course came the shrieks of thousands
of whistles, the shouts of multitudes
and the crash Of bands The yachts
sailed the last 20 minutes neck and
neck, but with Columbia to windward,
and perhaps half a length ahead.
When the race was declared off and
the excursion fleet started homeward,
the Columbia's crew stripped the main
sail from the boom and gait while she
was being towed into the Horseshoe.

ORDERS RECEIVED.
Lieut.. N. E. Morris Will Re-
port to His Regiment
Immediately.

Lieut.. Michael E. Morris, who has
been in charge of the volunteer re-
cruiting office on Front street for the
past two months, last evening received
a telegram from Col. Murray, COM
manding officer of the Forty-third regi-
ment, stationed at Fort Ethan Allen
VT, to report to that place Immediate
ly. The notification comes as no sur
prise to Lieut.. Morris, who has been
awaiting orders to rejoin his regiment
daily. The regiment has been recruited
to its full war strength and will soon
be ordered into active service in the
Philippines, pending the thorough
equipment of that regiment
The Forty-third regiment has re-
ceived many likely recruits from this
city, and Worcesters quota in that
regiment equals the number of Wor-
cesters patriotic sons in the other regi-
ments that have been recruited for
Philippine service.
The orders which take Lieut.. Morris
from this city mean the closing of the
volunteer office on Front street and
also mean that the Forty-third regi-
ment will soon be speeding across the
country en- route for its future life in
the far east.
Inc only commissioned oHcer in that
regiment who will have any great in
terest taken in his movements is Lieut..
M. E. Morris. mainly because of his
service in this city recruiting Outside
of that he has many friends in this
city who viii watch his movements in
the far east with great concern, and
they are his former comrades in arms
of the Ninth regiment of Massachu-
sets volunteers, who served with the
lieutenant. then captain, in the Cuban
campaign.
Captain M. E. Morris has always
been a prominent fl. e IN the Ninth
regiment whether it was in the state
service or that Of the government. He
is a native Of Natick and has served in
the Natick company of the Ninth regi-
ment through all the grades, from a
private to it's commanding officer. He
commanded Co. L through the Spanish
war, and after Major Donavan was
elected colonel of the Ninth he was APP
pointed inspector of rifle practice, which
position he has held to the time of his
appointment as first lieutenant oath
Forty third regiment of volunteers.
