ANGLO- RUSSIAN FRICTION.
i SERIOUS UTBREAK POSSIBLE
 AT THEN ISIN
Russiums EntrcnchinS in the Disputed Territory--A Company of tho Hong Kong Regiment, With Fixed Bayonets, is in Front Supported by Two Conn pantes of Madras Pioneers-Both Sides Awaiting Instructions from Their Govern
Governments,

London, March 15.-A dispatch re~ ceived here from Tien Tsin by Reuters Telegram company dated from that city to-day at 3:20 r. m, says:
 '"The Russians are now entrenching in the disputed territory. 4 company of the Hong Kong regiment, with fixed bayonets is in front, while two com- panies oe the Madras Pioneers, under command of Major Johnson, are held in reserve. Both the Russians and the British are awaiting instructions from their governments"
 A question in the house of commons to-day in regard to the dispatch from Tien Tsin announcing friction between the Russians and British there, elicited a confirmation from Lord George Ham ilton, the secretary of state for India who said that Russia had claimed the land in dispute by virtue of conces- sion alleged to have been granted by China since the disturbances began. The authorities on the spot were deal- ing with the matter. The government had not sent special instructions, as, throughout the Chinese questions, the British officers had shown a spirit of excessive conciliation.

 "Our conferences upon the needs of Greater New York for branch libraries to reach the masses of the people in every district has convinced me of the wisdom of your plans.

 You estimate the average cost of these libraries at say $S0,000 each, being $5,200,000 for all. If New York will furnish sites for these branches for the special benefit of the masses of the peo- pie. as it has done for the Central li- brary, and also agree in satisfactory form to provide for their maintenance as built, should esteem 1t rare priv iege to be permitted to furnish the
