Russia Has Broken Off Relations
with China.

A Washington dispatch dated april
7th says: The administration is per
plezed over cable dispatch received
yesterday from Mr.. Squiers, now in
charge of the American legation in
Pekin. This dispatch, according to
publication today, said that "the Rus
sian minister refuses to receive official
communications from Chinese COM
missloners, which carried the infer
ence that diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries interested
would be broken off. The officials
are very reticent about the matter
and decline to affirm or deny whether
it is correctly stated. They will go
only so far as to admit the receipt of
dispatch whose purport was not
clearly understood, for which reason
it was not given to the press for pub.
lication. Another cablegram which
reached here today from Mr.. Rock
hill, the special commissioner of the
United States. engaged in conducting
the peace negotiations, made no ref
erence to the matter.
The impression of the officials at
the Russian embassy was that no spe.
clal Significance attached to the Squi-
ers dispatch. According to them it
simply meant that the Russians had
discontinued further negotiations at
this time on the Manchurian question
alone, which for the time is held in
allegiance.

John r. Lynch, the erstwhile Re-
publican leader of Mississippi, is now
regarded as outside OF the ''sphere OF
influence" since his appointment by
the President as captain and assistant
paymaster in the regular army. His
new position fixes him for life and 1t
is anticipated that he will pay little or
no attention to home politics. Lynch
held the rank of major and paymas-
ter in the volunteer army and for some
time has been stationed in Havana.
With the exception OF few chaplalns
in negro regiments Lynch is the only
negro who has ever been honored with
a position of this kind.

Governor Longino has refused to
interfere in the case of Will Lanier,
who is to be hanged at Aberdeen on
the 18th of April. Mrs. Lanier, the
mother of the condemned man, made
fearful appeal to the Governor to
pardon the prisoner, but the Govern

stances in the record, and will allow
the law to take its course.
The Governor has also refused to
grant pardon to Hetty Record, the
youngest prisoner ever brought to the
penitentiary. Hetty was sent up from
Tunica county five years ago for muir
dering her baby brother. She was
then less than nine years Of age. The
baby was frettul, and when Hetty
grew tired Of his nonsense she picked
up an axe and chopped his head open.

RUSSIA WITHDRAWS TREATY
To Avoid Conflict With Japan at the
Present Juncture.

According to information that reach.
es Paris from source regarded as of
unquestionable authenticity, Russia
has withdrawn the proposed Msnchu-
rian treaty with China. This step
is attributed to the personel instiga-
tion of Emperor Nicholas, and is ac-
cepted as evidence of his determine
tion to avoid at the present iuncture
any conflict with Japan.
Coupled with this news comes the
statement that Russia does not deem
it expedient to withdraw any of her
troops now in Manchuria and intends
to maintain the statu quo there until
such government can be established
at Pekin strong and stable enough to
inspire Russian confidence for the fu-
ture.

Singapore by two survivors of the
Nova Scotian bark Angola, wrecked
six days sale from Manila, October %

The survivors. Johnson, Swede,
and Marticornu, a Spaniard, assert
that the Angola struck a reef. Two
RATS were built. The smaller, bear
ing five men, disappeared. The other
with twelve men, drifted forty days.
The sailors ate barnacles, seaweed
and finally their boots. On the
twenty fifth day two became
insane and killed themselves. On the
2Gth a Frenchman killed the mate
with an axe, drank his blood and tried
to eat his brains, but was prevented
by the others. Next day the French
man was killed while attempting to
murder the captain. The survivors,
all of whom were now insane, ate the
Frenchman's body. Cannibalism con-
tinued until only Johnson and Marti-
cornu remained of the crew. On the
fortieth day the raft stranded on Subj
or Flat Island in the Natuna group,
northwest of Borneo. Johnson and
Marticornu were awfully emaciated.
Friendly MaIays sent them bysjunk to

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
makes the excellent suggestion that
the tramp problem may be profitably
solved by setting it over against the
good roads problem. By setting the
tramp to work on the roads out of evil
may come good. There is another fel-
icity in the suggestion arising from the
fact that in improving the highways
the tramp necessarily tolls for his own
benefit as we'll as for that of the com.
munity. The tramp is the knight OF
the highway; it is his own particular
stamping ground.

The Sixth Gusher Oil Well Struck.


The sixth gusher oil we'll has been
added to the Beaumont field and it is
reported the finest we'll yet struck.
The we'll is located on tract of land
belonging to the Higgins Oil Com
pany. 1t is /, 900 feet deep and shows
pressure of eighty pounds 20 the
square inch, which is said to exceed
the pressure in the Lucus well which
heretofore maintained the record of
being the greatest producer in the
world. After the oil was struck the
pipe was permitted to sink until it
struck the bottom and it rested after
forty feet had gone down. The drill.
lers then bored four feer to what they
say is bed OF absolutely pure sula
phur. In two of the other gushers
sulphur was struck before the oil was
reached, drillers of the Beatty we'll re-
porting that they went through seven
ty feet of that substance. The Hig-
gins well, however, demonstrates that
the oil lake theory is fact and it is
of interest to know that at one place
at least the lake is forty feet deep.
The new gusher is located about SOC
