BRITISH MUST LEAVE.
No Other Way to Settle the Trouble
at TEN Tsin-


New York. March ga dispatch to
the Herald from Tien Tsin says:
Count Won Waldersee while here yes
terday had long and separate converse
tons with the Russian and English COM
manding generals. He orally renewed the
propositions which had been made by
, telegraph and which the Russians had
declined to entertain
General Wogack declined to discuss
the question of ownership until the Brit
ish had withdrawn from the ground
claimed by Russia and occupied by his
forces
General Campbell stated that under
his Instructions he could not withdraw
The deadlock therefore continues.
Count Won Waldersee is visibly depressed
at the failure 10 arrange the question,
to realize. After an hour he returned to
Pelxin.
There mas been much fighting during
the day between French and British sol
diers. but up to the present there have
been no serious results General Voyron
has ordered out gendarmes, who, to-
gether with the Australians are now
guarding the settlement and preventing
French soldiers from entering
General Campbell has received the ap-
proval Of the government IN his view Of
the dispute with the Russian commander
here and is holding his ground under or
ders from London
Count Won Waldersee's proposal which
General WOgack declined 10 entertain,
was that the disputed territory be turn
ed over 10 neutral guard, the Russians
and British simultaneously Withdrawing,
pending legal investigation Of the ques-
lions involved
British officers maintained that if as
rumOred. Russian troops are being hur-
ried TO Tien Tsin from Port Arthur, the
British government will regard their ar
rival as a hostile movement on the part
OF Russia
General Wogack has made the follow
ing statement OF the Russian position for
the Herald.
THE question over which we unhap-
PLY are at odds is not whether the dis
puted ground belongs to us or to the
Chinese government or to the railway
company. but whether the English will
make good their trespass-
AT the time the British attempted to
take possession the ground was protected
by Russian flags and a clearly delimi-
mated boundary of stone. These flags
were overturned and thrown away by
coolies, who went on with their work
until driven off by our guards
Before We can discuss the question
OF ownership the British, who are still
to some extent on our ground, must
withdraw. Once the British have with
drawn / am sure the Russian imperial
government viii ignore all previous re-
grettable violence and listen in a most
friendly spirit to whatever the British
government may have to say regarding
the definite possession of the disputed
territory No sane person can for an
instant doubt that had the engineers re-
quested permission to build switch or
sidetraclc on our ground it would have
been Immediately granted.
Unfortunately. however, they sought
their ends by forcible means The
British troops must be withdrawn from
Russian territory. There can be no other
settlement"

MUST TAKE DOWN FENCES.
Government Orders Cattlemen to Va
cate Government Land.

The cattlemen in western Kansas are
in a bad hole because of an order from
the department of the interior at Wash
ington ordering them to tear down all
fences enclosing government land in the
west The object of the order was to
enable homeseekers to take claims. KAN
sas has about 365, 600 acres of land yet
open to homestead settlement and most
Of it has been fenced by cattlemen for
pastures. For this reason few homestead
claims have been taken in recent years.
People who would go to the western part
of the state to take up land would ind il
fenced and would naturally think that il
was already taken. The interior depart
ment gave the cattlemen to May of this
year to remove their fences.
T. l.. Diesem of Garden City was here
yesterday to see the state officers and
to get their aid in having the time set
by the government extended. He says
they should have another year in which
to move their fences because it VIII work
a great hardship on the csttlemen e, be
compelled to do so this spring They
have no money to move their cattle to
Oklahoma or New Mexico, and they will
be without pastures. The big cattlemen
viii not be injured as much as the small
owners, as the big men have money with
which to rent new pastures in other sec
lions.
Nearly all the state officers have sent
messages to Secretary Hitchcock asking
him to extend the time one year.

declared GrOun046SSs
The charges brought by A c. Rankin
and Rev. F w. Emerson against T. E
Stephens, secretary of the State Temper
ance union, and James A. Troutma7,
member of the board of directors, have
been decided by the committee appoint
ed to investigate against the men DrlEg-
ing the charges. There were Is counts
to the effect that Stephens and Trout
man were running the union in the IN
terests of the Republican party The
committee made a lengthy report ard
following each count reported Not sus-
tained'' except in the eighth and twelfth,
which are Sustained in part"
The eighth count was to the effect that
Stephens had encouraged Rankin in the
scheme to have the legislature create the
office of temperance commissioner, and
then went back on him and threw OBJ
stacles in his way. The committee say 3
Stephens did encourage Rankin in
the advocacy Of state enforcement
The twelfth count was TO the effect
that Stephens assisted in the work OF
organizing the club plan and then with
out notice, used his influence to cancel
dates made by Rankin for lectures.
The committee finds that Stephens, in
his zeal to carry out the wish Of the ex-
ecutive committee which opposed the
commissioner plan, attempted to have
one of Rankin's speaking dates cancel
ed. The committee concludes its report
as follows.
IL is. apparent to the committee after
Weighing the evidence, that the charges
were made by Nessrs Rankin and Emil
erson in good faith, under the imp les
SION that the executive committee of the
union was directly responsible for the
opposition that was awakened against
the temperance commissioner bill; and it
is further apparent that number of un-

that the main idea in the mind of the
union in bringing Mr.. Rankin into the

committee, therefore. we deprecate any

deliberate judgment that the continued

controversy can only tend to DIVIDE
