RUSSIA AND MaNCHURlA.
Arrangement Not Permanent, Says
COunt Lnmsd0rf 49, Manchurim
VIII he Restored to China.

London. March THE government pub
fishes a dispatch from the British ambas-
sador at ST. Petersburg relating to the
assurance given Feb. 6 by the Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs. Count Lams-
dorf, concerning the Manchurian affair.
1t appears that the Russian minister con-
scented Feb. q TO its publication as ac-
curately representing Russia's attitude in
the proceedings in Manchuria. 1t says, in
part;
Count Lamsdorf said he had read al
legations in the press that Russia had
concluded or was engaged in concluding
with China n convention or permanent ar
rangement which would give Russia new
rights and a virtual protectorate over
Southern Manchuria. This he declared to
be untrue, asserting that the only ground
for the rumor must have been the fact
that the Russian military authorities ha
been directed when reinstating the Chi
nese authorities to arrange with the local
civil authorities a modus vivendi for the
duration of the simultaneous presence OF
Russians and Chinese in Southern Man
churia, with the object of preventing
recurrence OF di 'turbances.
mo convention or arrangement with
the central government of China, of a
permanent character, had been concluded
with regard to Manchuria, nor had the
Emperor any intention of departing in
any way from the assurances he had pub
licly given that Manchuria would be en-
tirely restored to its former condition In
the Chinese empire as soon as circum-
stances admitted

TO Be NO OUTBREAK |
CUBANs WILL CONSIDER THE
AMENDMENT.
A CONSERVATIVE VICTORY.
TIRE EXTREMISTS DEFEATED YES
TERDAY.

The Convention VIII Continue I'm
session-<rhe Amendment Referred
to N Special Committee to Report
UpOn-DoubtfuI If the Convention
VIII Agree TO the Amendment, but
It'll May Send Committee to WASH
fngton.
Havana, March THE Cuban Consti-
tutional Convention met in secret session
this Afternoon for a formal discussion of
the Piatt amendment. The conservative
element scored d victory. 1t was decid-
ed to continue the sessions of the conven-
special committee on re.ations with in
structions to bring in report.
Twenty-Five Delegates were present,
Senior Llorente and Gen. Rivera being the
only absentees. Gen. Sanguily favored
dissolving the convention and returning
the amendment without discussion. The
other delegates were unanimously in ia
vor of continuing the sessions and of
sending some answer to the executive de-
partment in Washington. The argument
turned on the question whether the con-
vention had power to adopt a scheme Of
relations that would be binding upon the
future republic. Last week a majority
of the delegates opposed this view. To-
day Senior Nunez, representing the con-
servatives, argued that the delegates were
empowered in the call for the convention
to establish permanent relations with the
United States and ought not to attempt
to shirk its duty.
Gen. Sanguily contended that the inteu-
ton of the original call was annulled by
Gov. Gen. Woods instructions at the
opening of the convention when delegates
were asked to give only an opinion.
The radical element did not flock to Gen.
Sanguily, as had been expected, and the
conventions action in referring the ques
ton to the Special Committee on Relations
indicates a willingness to recede from the
formed attitude. 1t is evident that many
OF the delegates still hope the amendment
will be changed, but there is no better
feeling now apparent. 1t is doubtful
whether the convention will ever agree to
accept the amendment. but the conserva-
lives maintain that the willingness of the
radicals to discuss, and if necessary. to
send committee to Washington, gives
a more hopeful aspect to conditions which
were growing strained. 1t is generally
believed that the crisis, if any existed, has
passed and that by the time the commit
tee reports the present excitement will
have passed. Much depends upon the at
titude of the radical delegates. If an inn
passioned appeal to the people is issued,
as it is rumored will be the case, this
may cause demonstrations of protest
against the United States. But nothing IN
the nature of an uprising is any longer

Count Won Wa1dcrsee.
Pekin, March THE Minister'S Com
mittee has completed it's report, and the
general principle to be adopted in the
case of private indemnities is based upon
laws in harmony with the Roman and
English systems. This result was not
reached without considerable discussion,
some believing that the claims of men of
good reputation should be paid in foil,
without further consideration. ON the
other hand, a case was mentioned where
a man of high repute claims $4,000 each
for his own, his wife's and his daughters
nerves, and $4,000 for property destroyed,
whereas II is known that the latter esti-
mate is more than thrice the value Of
all.
The negotiations. Mr. Rockhill says. are
going on Well and he sees no reason why
they should not be completed In two
months, with the possible exception of the
commercial treaties, which will probably
take long time.
Gen. Chaffee TO Won WaIdersec.
Cen Chaffee replied to the copy of Gen,
Yin Tchangs letter sent him by Count
Won Waldersee that he had given instruc-
tons to the American troops when any
detachments were sent against robbers
and Boxers to obtain to the fullest extent
possible the assistance of Chinese officials
in making arrests and Furnishing the
guilty.
Regarding indemnity for the losses sus-
tanned by missionaries and native Chris
tians, Gen. Chaffee pointed out that his
sentiments were well known to the Ameri-
can missionaries; that he was opposed to
extortion in every form, and that he fav-
ored strict justice in every case, and
that, therefore, he would agree quickly l.
His Excellency's proposition that the in
IDENTITIES Sir Robert Hart had mentioned
should be settled by their diplomats.

POSTAL CARDS SLOW TRIP.
Took Thirteen Years to Journey
From Philadelphia TO New York.

Took Thirteen Years to Journey
From Philadelphia TO New York.
From the New York Mail and Express.
1t is only ninety miles from New York
to Philadelphia, but it took a postal card,
mailed at the general postoffce here, thir-
teen years, one month and thirty-eight
days to reach it's destination in Quaker
town. Its rate of progress was a tr.fe
less than seven miles a year. Local post
office experts, who examined the card
to-day under magnifylng glasses, were at
loss to account for the delay
The card was mailed Dec. %, 1887, at
$50 p. m. by Mclean Brothers & Regis,
dealers in machinery and hardware at 35
South William street, to the Pa ne-Diehl
Company, then in business at 1880 South
Penn Square, Philadelphia.
The only other legible postmark on the
confused mass which covers the face of
the card indicates that 1t was deiiv rcd
TO the right person on the Afternoon of
Feb. 4, 1901. Meantime the Paine-Diehl
Company had gone out of business and
the Mr.. Paine of the corporation had be-
come the secretary of the Chemical Spe-
cialty Company. II was to him that the
card finally came, It's wide discrepancy in
dates led to an exchange OF letters De-
tween the two firms, but Mclean Broth
ers e Regis had no record of the orig
inal purpose for which the card was sent.
The Philadelphia postal authorities were
persistent In their search for Mr.. Pa n.
There are at least three, and pcs IDLY
four, Philadelphia postmarks on the face
Of the card and the initials or names of
five carriers on the back. 1t went to 1909
Indiana avenue, to Wayne Junct on, and
to no one knows how many o her adj
dresses. It's age made no difference. and
the fact of its final delivery to a member
OF dead and ne company is suggestive
Of the exact methods of the pcstal sery'cs.
The chief clerk of the office of superin-
tendent of mails at the New York post
Office examined the card under a pagni-
flying glass for some time this morning.
Then he said that he gave 1t up.
"It is probable" said he, that the card
spent the thirteen years in Philadelphia
in q crack in a separation case, where
the local mails are sorted Freqently
cracks are opened in the compartment
by the action of heat. When a delay oc-
ours here we give the card an irregular
ity' number ard send 1t 10 the proper
party with a letter of explanation"
