CHINA REFUSES 1T.

Rassia's Latest Demand Il Turned
Dovn-Chlnsss Greatly EEsasedL
SHANGHAI, May 1k-The tsung II
yamen Chinese foreign ofiice) has re-
piled to the Russian minister 1t Pek-
ing. N. de Geirs, that the government
is unable to accede to the Russian de-
mand, made last Wednesday, for .
new railway concession connecting
Peking with Russia's present system
in Manchuria.
Not since the taking of Port Arthur
by Russia have tho Chinese been so
agitated as over this demand
Whether NJ. de GERS named . specific
route is not yet ascertainable. some
officials stating that only q prelim-
mary notice was given by Russia. and
others that she is asking for line di.
rect from Picking to Shan Hai-Kwen.
Certainly the British legation in
Peking had no previous knowledge
that such proposal was coming from
St. Petersburg. The concession asked
for would ruin the existing Northern
railways, in which British capital to
the amount of $40, 0O0, 600 is invested,
but there seems to be no alternative
route, without interfering with plans
for railway extension which the Chi
nese themselves have in mind.
1t is believed that Russia's action in
this matter is intended to demonstrate
to the world that the recent c0nven-
ton with Great Britain respecting
spheres of interest in China, which
was notified to the Chinese govern
ment almost before this latest conven-
ton was demanded, has not fettered
the action of Russia at the court of
Picking, and also to strengthen Rus
sia's prestige with the Chinese, which
was unfavorably affected by her with
drawal of her late protest respecting
the Northern RAILWAYS.

Another Family Quarrel.

Another little family quarrel case
was heard by Judge Andrews and Mar
shall Morse, Saturday evening. The
case was one where Louis Roderick
charged Mrs. Paul Roderick with strk-
ing his child. The testimony showed
that there had been a bad feeling be
tween the two families and that the
two little girls of the families came to
blows, Saturday, when Mrs. Paul Rod
erick separated them. The little girl
claims Mrs. Roderick struck her in the
face, but this is denied. The affairs
called out an immense crowd of the
friends of the two parties who collect
ed in the municipal court rooms where
the hearing was held. There seemed to
be but little evidence, one way or an
other, and the family quarrel was the
most that could be learned. SO Judge
Andrews postponed the case to Monday
evening.
