Seattle, Wash. April S.-Seth Jsynes,
a pioneer miner of the north, arrived
yesterday from the Klondike. a valdes
passenger of the steamship Oregon,
demonstrating that the journey from
Yukon river points by the all-Ameri-

nineteen days. That was his actual
travelling time from Dawson to Seattle.
From Dawson to the sea he followed the
United States mail carriers route and
the government military road being
constructed from Naldes to Eagle City.
His faithful dog, a Russian terrier.
accompanied him on the journey thru
the wilds of Alaska. The dog hauled a

China.

The Report Not Officially Con.

ern Situation Not Clear
~ Discernible.

Washington, April S.-The Chinese
minister was an early caller at the state
department today. seeking information
as to the report based on advices to the
state department that there had been an
interruption of diplomatic intercourse
between Russia and China. Wu had not
been advised of any such development
and the information before the depart
ment was SO contradictory that 1t did
not permit any clear explanation of the
real state of affairs.
Doubt arises from the fact that Rock
hills latest dispatch does not mention
any such disarrangement and officials
feel bound to accept this as strong ey-
idence that the prior intimations of dis
cord have not taken actual form. Yet
the dispatch received from the Ameri-
can charge daffaires, Squires. appears
to have been quite explicit that difficult
ty already had made itself manifest. 1T
is thought possible at the department
that the circumstances to which Squires
refers occurred prior to the receipt In
Pekin of the last Russian note and the
trouble may have been adjusted subse-
quently.
The state department maintains an
attitude of doubt and expectancy and Is
not prepared to admit that there has
been an interruption between the two
countries, either limited or complete.
Aside from telegraphic advices there
were some attending circumstances
which indicate that at least some strain
or partial interruption of intercourse
has occurred. The fact developed in
Washington about a week ago that
Russia had delivered to China what
amounted to an ultlmatum on the sign
ing of the Manchurian agreement. This
followed the usual course of an ultima
tum and fixed a definite limit of days
within which China could act. 1t also
conveyed clear intimation that unfa-
yorable action by China would lead to a
severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries. The limit OF
time fixed is believed to have expired
last Wednesday,. China did not sign
within the time limit and Thursday
which has been accepted as removing
agreement.
IniS at lirsI seemed 10 ne a waiver OF
her prior intimation of interruption of
diplomatic intercourse and yet there
was no such explicit waiver. and the
latest advices from Pellin. reporting
that interruption now has actually oc-
Cured, seem to be directly in line with
the threat previously conveyed. In case
there proves to be an interruption of the
relations between Russia and China, ii
is expected to disarrange the negotia-
tions between the powers and China or
between Russia and the powers 1t
probably will be confined to termina
tion of the close entente maintained be-
tween Russia and China.
