Rios POPULATION IN DOUBT.
Sanitary Authorities Credit Janeiro With,
10000.

WASHINGTON, April S.-A wide
discrepancy between the population
figures given by the statistical author
tiles of Rio Janeiro and by the sani-
tary authorities there is called to the
attention of the marine hospital ser
vice in the annual report of Acting
Assistant Surgeon Havelburg at that
port. He says the sanitary authorities
make the present population OF Rio
Janeiro $4,000, while the statistical
authorities make it 431 ,716.
The impression prevails that Rio has
a larger population than that shown
by the census, but not so large as es-
tinlated by the sanitary authorities.
The figures of the sanitary authorities
show total mortality during 1900 of
Is per cent, against over 20 per cent
the previous year. The number of still
births is equivalent to n per 1000 of
the total births, remarkable show
ing. The number of deaths has ex-
ceeded the births. tuberculosis fur
nished almost one-fifth of the total
mortality.

A CRISIS IS AVERTED
Russia Gives Sweeping Assurance Of
Treating With China Unselfshly.
UNITED STATES HAS THE PLEDGE.
Secretary Hay Receives the COmmunica-
tion from Ambassadors CassIni-It Rem
ders Less Alarming Former Reports
Regarding Military Activity.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-The Unit
ed States government has received a
communication from the government
Of Russia of unusual conditions. 1t
bears on conditions in China and par
ticularly those relating to Manchuria.
The document has created profound
ly favorable impression and at the
State department 1t is looked upon as
the most salutary event that has oc-
Cured for several months in the east
ern situation. Secretary Hay received
the communication from Count Cas-
sini last night and communicated 1t to
the president.
Although the terms Of the Russian
communication are withheld, it is
known that Russia takes occasion to
give strong assurances Of her disln-
terested purposes throughout her deal
ings with China. AS to Manchuria, it
Is stated that :Russia's course never
has varied in the determination to
leave that province as an integral part
Of China and to retire the Russian
troops as rapidly as safety will per-
NIT But, as more signal evidence
OF Russia's purposes and as an evil
dence Of the emperor's devotion to the
principle of peace, assurances of a def
mite and satisfactory character are
now given as to the execution of these
purposes. The belief is held in official
quarters that the assurances of Russia
are SO sweeping as completely to avert
the threatened crisis in Manchuria.
The Russian communication is the
more significant, coming at moment
when the press advices from Europe
asserted that Russia was collecting an
army of 100000 men for the purpose
Of holding Manchuria without refer
ence TO the desire of the other powers.
There is no doubt that Russia has a
large military force in Manchuria, SO
that had the cZar determined to hold
the province he has the military es
tablishment already on the ground pre-
pared to maintain occupancy.
To the officials in Washington one
OF the most gratifying features of Rus
sia's action is that it is responsive to |
Secretary Hays note of March 1 last. |
This note had been previously COM
municated to the Chinese minister at |
and advised him that the |
United States viewed as inexpedient |
and dangerous to the interests of China |
the conclusion of any private territor-
ial or financial agreement. a copy of |
this communication was sent to the
United States ambassador at st. Pet
ersburg, Mr.. Charlemagne Tower, and
the Russian ambassador at Washing
ton also was made aware of its con-
tents. While the note never was ad-
dressed directly TO Russia yet by the
means It came fully to the
attention of the Russian authorities.

Beers Who Have Surrendered Are Noi

LONDON, April 8.-Lord Kitchener
has informed the War Office that eigh
teen volunteer companies, freed by re-
liefs, are coming home and that ar
rangements are in progress for the
speedy reiiefs of further companies.
He thus appears to be endeaovring to

sent to the front to replace the stale
men.
The Pretoria correspondent of the
Morning Post, who warns his country
men against hoping for an early term
ination of hostilities or believing the
stories that the Beers are tired of war,
says:
"It becomes daily more evident that
the Beers intend to fight to a finish.
Many are surrendering, but they are
men of no standing. The real fighting
men are still on commando and, al
though recently successful British ac-
tions tend to bring the close nearer,
1t must be admitted that the Beers
must be completely crushed before
general surrender is probable

Acting President Sshalkburger has re-
moved the seat Of government to

on the part of packers was In good shape.
and as result the market did not show
any radical change. There were about
forty cars OF beef steers included in the
receipts. and packers took hold and
bought them up at generally steady
prices. The market. however. seemed to
be triAe uneven, as some sales were un-
doubtedly higher than yesterday, while
others were no more than steady. The
supply OF cows was rather light. not over
twenty cars being offered. Packers had
liberal orders, and the market ruled ac-
tive and fully steady, the same as was
the case with the beef steers. The mar
ket. however. seemed to be a little un-
even. but still very satisfactory prices,
as a rule. were paid, and the pens were
cleared at an early hour. Bulls. calves
and stays sold in just about the same
notches they did yesterday. The feeder
trade did not have mach life to 1t today

mand being in fairly good shape the mar
ket opened about steady with yesterday.

and it soon became evident that packers
had quite liberal orders. Sellers as re-
suit held their strings at good, firm
prices and the market soon became strong
to a shade higher than Yesterday and
quite active. The bulk of all the hops sold
from s5.97h TO S6.02Is. The choicer hogs
sold from $6.021a to s60715. The light

bought up the ewes and wethers at

wethers sold for $3.50. which was good,
strong price, and the Standard Cattle

. Conundrum, But Give No Details.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The adj
ministration is perplexed over cable
dispatch received yesterday from Mr..
Squires, now in Pekin, in charge Of the
American legation in Pekin. This dis
patch, according to a publication today,
| said that the Russian minister refuses
to receive official communications from
Chinese commissioners" which carried
the inference that the diplomatic re-
lations between the two countries in
terested would be broken of.
The officials are very reticent about
the matter and decline to affirm or deny
whether it is correctly stated. They
ceipt Of a dispatch, whose purport was
not clearly understood, for which rea-
son it was not given to the press for
publication. Another cablegram which
reached here today from Mr. Rockhill.
the special commissioner Of the United
States, engaged in conducting the peace
negotiations, made no reference to the
alleged refusal of the Russians to re-
ceive Official communications from the
Chinese commissioners. AS Mr.. Rock
hill is in a position to know promptly
what develops between the ministers
and the peace commissioners it is be-
heved he would be prompt to report a
step OF such far-reaching Importance
as the published dispatch from Mr..
SQuiers would indicate.
At the Russian embassy no informa-
ton on the subject was obtainable to-
night. It was said there that no COM
munications had come from the foreign
office at st. ePtersburg since the Rus
sian note of several days since, which
declared that governments intention
regarding Manchuria, copy of which
was handed to Secretary Hay. The i'm
preston of the officials at the embassy
was that no special significance at
tached to the Squiers dispatch. Ac-
cording to them, it simply meant that
the Russians had discontinued further
negotiations at this time on the Man
churian question alone, which, for the
time, is held in allegiance. This was
in accord with the spirit Of the official
publications of the government on this
matter, which asserted that remaining
faithful to its original and oft-repeated
political program regarding Manchu- |
ria, ''it will quietly await the further |
course of events Absolutely no con- |
Germ was felt at the embassy on the |
subject, the officials apparently being |
perfectly satisfied that the communica- |
tions referred to relate entirely to the |
qrestion.
In other diplomatic circles the report |
failed to receive credence, on the gen.
eral theory that the interests cf the |
Russian government In China were too |
great and far-reaching to permit the
severance of diplomatic relations at
this time, when substantial unity on
many of the matters of negotiation
were so promising
