After careful investigation, however,
a representative of The Associated Press
ascertained in reliable quarter that the
Berlin police president issued an order
April 9Th for the arrest whenever or
wherever caught, of the alleged anar

Photographs Of the alleged anarchist, with
a minute description after the Bertillon
method were furnished for identification.
The information received byathe Berlin
authorities was that Romagnoli had been
chosen by the alleged nest of conspirators
in Patterson, N. j., to murder Emperor
William. They were furthermore informed
that he left Buenos Ayres, March 9th

FIGHTING IN MANcHuRIA.
Kulo Storned and Taken by Russians Chinese
Intrenched Around Mukden.
(By the Associated Press.

London, April 22.-According to dis
patch to the Daily Mail from St. Peters
burg official information has been re-
ceived that renewed military activity is
beginning in Manchuria. Chinese troops
are strongly entrenched at three points
around Mukden. They are armed with
good Mauser rifles and have thirty Krupp
guns.
To the eastward of Mukden, near
Turchausen there are 10000 men under
the Chief Boxer General Lutanse. To
the northwest near Kulo, there are six
thousand Chinese under the former Gov
ernor of Mukden. To the eastward In
Mongolia and near the In-Shan Mountain,
there are 5000 more under the Chinese
General Schu.
Admiral Alexieff has accordingly or
ganized an expedition under General
Zerpinsky, consisting of two regiments
and five sotnias of Cossacks, sixteen guns
and a. body of volunteers to operate
against the three points mentioned me
first movement was successfully carried
out in the beginning of April. Kulo,
which is two hundred and fifty kilometres
from Mukden, was stormed and the ex-
Governor of Mukden was taken prisoner.
In this action the Russians had thirteen
men killed and four officers, and eighteen
men wounded. The advance towards the
Turchausen position was then begun,
Owing to the departure of most OF the
Russian troops from Mukden, the latter
city has become very unsafe Almost
nightly Russian sentinels are found shot
in the back.
The situation in Southern Manchuria is
disquieting and another advance OF Rus
sian troops will be necessary in the early
spring.

Fall River, Mass, April 22.-No little
stir was made here today by published
statements that further attempt to con-
solidate the print cloth mills of New
England and the Southern States was
ON foot and that j. p. Morgan and Com
pany, of New York, were behind the
movement. Inquiry made quite generally
among those who are in control of many
of the local mills, or represent the big
manufacturing properties tonight brought
out the almost unanimous statement
that the reports have no foundation in
fact. The cotton mills here are ready
for consolidation but not more so now
than at any time during the past two
years, in which time the subject has re-
ceived much attention. 1t was directly
stated in one publication that an option
had been given for the American Print
ing Company and the Fall River Cotton
Works in pursuance of the plan, but rep
resentatives of those interests deny any
knowledge of such a transaction and
ridicule its probability under the present
prosperous condition of the cloth mar
ket.

authority to act for the controlling in

trying to effect consolidation two years
ago and those who were trying to prevent
it, agree that the rumor at this time
started in the South because of plan
to bring the mills there under general
control. The mills spoken prominently
