OF THE CHINESE PROTOCOL.
He Says Further Trouble Is Not Ex-

What May Happen i'm China.

LONDON. Oct. 1.-THE new Manchurian
convention, which has been the subject of
negotiations between NJ. Paul Lessar, Rus
sian minister to China, and Ii Hung Chang,
is on the same lines as the convention
which Russia withdrew April s. says the
Peking correspondent Of the Times, but 1t is
more cleverly worded so as to save China's
face In consequence of previous dis
closures a Jealous secrecy has been OBJ
served: but the important negotiations by
which Russia seeks to legalize her occupa-
tion OF Manchuria have been intrusted to
Ii Hung Chang, who can be better trusted
TO serve Russian interests than any other
Chinese statesman. Prince Ching is indig-
nant because he has been kept in ignorance,
and both the Yang-tse viceroys have twice
protested against the negotiations. The
same powerful opposition that was en-
ployed before is again endeavoring TO pre-
vent the signature of the conventions; but
Russia's promise to restore the railway
from Shan-EIai-Kwan and Neui-Chwang is
a powerful lever in the hands of NJ. Lessar

CHICAGO, Oct 16.-John Jacob Astor. of

for a short time to-day. With blue jeans
overalls and buckskin gloves the colonel
sat on the right side Of a locomotive cab

road. 1t was not a record-breaking per-

Colonel Astor was scheduled to come to
Chicago in company with President Stuvy-
SAINT Fish, of the Illinois Central road, TO
attend the annual meeting which was held
to-day. He missed the train to which was
attached the presidents private car, and
the directors gave up the idea of having
him at the meeting. Before they reached
Chicago their doubts dispelled by
the receipt of telegram stating that he
would be here on time. In order to keep
his word he took the fast mail, technically
known as Train No. g." at New York, at
S:45 Tuesday morning. When Elkhart. Ind,
was reached at sos o'clock this morning
the colonel decided TO complete the trip on
the engine. 1t was a matter of only few
minutes to make the arrangements for the
ride Out of South Bend there is a fairly
straight stretch of track with slight down
grade westbound. The engineer invited his
guest to take the reins," and the invita-
ton was coupled with another to push her
along" The colonel accepted both invi-
tations. From South Bend to Laporte. a
made the distance in trifle under twenty
minutes.

supposed TO be connected with the gang.
Before her arrest the Pinkerton agency
and police officers hac laid plans which
seemed to assure a speedy capture of the
robbers.
President and General Manager Elliott, of
the Express Company, said to-day that no
further news had been received at head
quarters and that he did not look for the
immediate arrest of the gang. This wom-
an according TO my adVices, said Mr..
Elliott was in communication with one
of the robbers at New Orleans. When that
man read the account of her capture in
this mornings paper he probably disap-
peared at once. If her arrest had not been
made public we probably would have Sc
cured him and perhaps the rest of the men.
Their capture probably will come sooner or
later. but il has been delayed"

Before Mr.. Rockhill left Peking the Chi
nese troops had commenced TO police the
city. The people. he said. had been bene-
fitted by the occupation, they having been
given work rebuilding the legations and on
other works at wages which they had never
dreamed OF. On the other hand, many of
those who were well off before the occupa-
ton had been rendered destitute as n result

greatly increased. and the British legation
is being built in the form OF a fort, with n
moat and guns mounted Mr. Rockhil said
he expected to hear very shortly of the re-
turn of the court to Pelxing.

very warmly received.
Mr. Rockhill says many people are starv-
ing in the district in which Si-Ngan-Fu is
situated, but the reports OF famine in other
districts sent out to the press have been
greatly exaggerated. The famine is the re-
suit OF the failure of the crops.
Mr. Rockhill said that while Ii Hung

petite but suffers much from indigestion
