ENGLIsHMEN CONFIDENT
A Yale Graduate Just Returned Talks
 About Coming Sports.


 New York, Aug 23.-H. S. Brooks, one of the graduate managers of the Yale and Harvard team, and who has just returned from England, where he made arrangements for the track and field sports return match between OK ford and Cambridge and Yale and Har- yard, says the Englishmen are very confident of victory.
 We concluded matters" said MT Brooks, 'at Morley's just before left, Dr J. H. Gray of Cambridge and c. N. Jackson, the Oxford purser, being the English representatives. While these gentlemen will not accompany the team on the visit. Lee Knowles, NJ. F., and former president of the c. U. A. A., will look after his countrymen's ln- tereStS
 Tt is also expected that Montague Shearman, who is well known to American athletes who have visited England. and Guy o. Vassall, the OK | ford captain when Yale and Harvard made their visit in 1899, will make the | journey and assist in the management. Among some of the changes sug gested and to which I agreed, was one which will enable the Rev H. w Workman, the Cambridge distance | man, to compete in two events. This was done by placing the half as the second event on the program and the 1 two mile last"
 The Englishmen also ask that .he standards for the high jump tower sev- eral feet above the cross bar. and to | this Mir Brooks promised no objection. Everything was most harmonious, ' said Mir Brooks, land the Oxford and Cambridge folk look upon the next as the second of series of regular con tests Several of the men who com peted in the former match promise to l be important factors in the one to come, and are looking forward to the visit with much pleasure, as they an- l ticipate meeting, as they expressed it, | their old friends

Paris, Aug 23.-According to the for e1gn office officials there is no news and no change in the situation of the Turkish imbroglio. This. however, was noticeable-the officials were more re- ticent than yesterday
 While reasserting that no naval dem- onstration is contemplated, they refuse to confirm or deny the truth of the news contained in special dispatches, saying that three battleships and a cruiser which arrived at Toulon this morning are taking coal and provisions on board. They said they had no in- formation on the subject.
 Perhaps it is not lacking in signifi- canoe that M. Deschanel, president of the chamber of deputies, who was at- tending the council general in char tres, suddenly went to RambouiIIet this morning, to see President Loubet. and also that M. Delcasse, minister of for eign affairs leaves the council general of Ariege and returns to Paris to-day to attend special meeting of the cab- inet, called, it is asserted, to arrange the program for the reception and en- tertainment of the czar.
 In the meanwhile the Turkish am- bassador, Munir Bey, is absent and at. the Turkish embassy only minor otti- cials are visible. They assume an air of absolute indifference and ignorance of the whole subject. Most of the diplomatists are away for the sum- mer holidays, hence it is difficult to obtain concensus of opinion. One of the oldest members, who has been con- nected with the diplomatic corps for more than twenty-five years, said to q correspondent yesterday:
 ''The sultan's hand contains one trump just now. 1t is not likely that France will run the risk of opening the eastern question on the eve of the cZar's visit''
 The newspapers here, under the in- fuence of the overwhelming joy at tho czar's approaching visit, are paying scant attention to Constantinople and, generally, are taking the view that the trouble will be settled to Frances sat- isfaction.

 Port Townsend, Wash, Aug 23.- The exodus from Nome is fairly on and each steamer arriving from there brings large numbers.

Returning passengers report Nome as being remarkably quiet and filled with idle men, many Of whom are willing to work for almost any thing in order to get passage money, but there is no work and great anxiety is felt by residents as to what will be done with so many destitute men. The Roanoke brought down $1 100000 in gold dust, most of which was shipped by the North American Trading and Transportation company. Besides this it is estimated that the passengers brought $200,000 more on their per sons. The Roanoke brought news that the four masted schooner James Sen nett, Captain Holstrub, is high and dry on the north end of Unimax island. having gone ashore August : in dense fog.

Seattle, Wash, Aug 28.-Judge Ar thur H. Moves, of the second district of the United States court for Alaska, with headquarters at Nome, has ar rived in Seattle, a passenger on the steamboat Roanoke. Judge Moves is on his way to Washington, having been granted leave of absence by the attorney general. After visiting the capital Judge Moves will return to San Francisco, where he is cited to appear before the circuit of appeals on Octo- Der A. In connection with the Nome litigation and the trouble which was the outcome of the appointment of AL eXander Mckenzie as receiver for mines at Nome. Judge Moves denies any collision with MT Mckenzie
 The work of his court. Judge Moves says. has been very voluminous. the civil cases of the past year alone hav- ing numbered over five hundred. There were about 100 criminal cases disposed of. The civil suits were near ly all relating to mining properties, and the feeling of the litigants, believ- ing as they did. that very valuable in terests were at stake, was also very intense.

MANCHURIA RICH
IN GOLD DEPOSITS.
State Department Gets an Inkling
Into Russia's Purpose to Con-
troll That Territory.
The Republic Bureau.


Washington. July 1s.-The latest mall adj
vices from the Far East. received at the
State Department, contain an mixing into
one Of the secret purposes Of Russia in at
tempting to acquire domination over Man
churia- For the past three years the Rus
| SLAMS have been quietly. but diligently. ex-
plortng the mineral wealth Of this section
of the Chinese Empire. and the result OF
their searches has been to convince the
Cars Government that the country is per-
haps one OF the richest in the world in its
gold deposits: that the precious metal Is
easy Of access, and that. with the unham-
pered right to exploit the vast gold fields
Russia may within few years become the
greatest gold-producing nation of the earth.
One of the clauses inserted into the con-
| vention with China. which failed Of ratihca-
ton, because of the attitude OF the other
| Powers. led by Japan. was that Russia
| should have the sole and exclusive right OF
| az uiring mining rights in extensive Prov
ince of Manchuria. The full significance OF
that clause was perhaps not fully appre-
| ciated by the Powers when they thwarted
to Russia. probl5 bly, more important than
any other, for the Russians alone know Of
the vast extent Of the gold deposits in Man
churia.
I
have known OF the excellence Of the gold
fields there. 1t is asserted that they have
refrained from any attempt to develop them
because Of the insecurity Of the Chinese
| Government and the lack Of a guarantee OF
protection for the outlay of money. Not
withstanding this. the Russians have gone
on exploring and prospecting, without any
large outlay. in the hope Of acquiring at an
opportune moment the exclusive right to op-
| crate in Manchuria. They have thus &C.
quired very thorough knowledge Of the
country.
There is said to he no longer any doubt
that Russia Is lonsing for the territory ~
Ing next to her own possessions and which
is rich In mineral deposits: and for that rea-
son she sought to grasp 1t when it seemed
that the time was .opportune for so doing
| With the Russians In control Of Manchuria
1t is said that Americans. or. in fact. any
other nationality. would have little oppor.
tunity Of operating in the gold fields there.
| The attempt Of some American miners
about two years ago to work In some OF
the Siberian fields across from Alaska
demonstrated clearly that there is no op-
portunity for any but Russiens in the gold
| fields controlled by the Cars Government.
