Russia Will Have 100000 Men in

London. April 1.-THE Daily Chroni-
Gle publishes the following dispatch
from Berlin: Count Won Waldersee
has sent an urgent telegram to En-
perOr William emplOring him to en-
deavor to hasten the negotiations for
the withdrawal Of the allied troops on
the ground that IL is impossible to pre-
vent Guarre!s between the soldiers of
the different nationalitics. which might
at any moment lead 10 serious
trouble"
by the end OF May" says the Mos
COW correspondent OF the Daily Ora
phic, the Russian army In Manchuria
will number 100000 men. IL is under
stood that the Russian minister Of war
rcckons upon the possibility OF having
to dispatch an army corps southwark
into CoIea."
The Iecutgcr Telegram 60. has Ie
ceived the following dispatch from
Pekin. dated April 4: "Chinas rejec-
ton of the Manchurian convention APP
pears 20 be Of n rather temporizing
nature. leaving the matter still open
to future discussion"
THE Italian minister In Pekin tele-
graphs" says the Rome correspondent
has threatened that Russia viii leave
the concert il the powers continue 10
oppose the Manchurian convention
Pekin, April 3.-Tnc ministers are
considering proposals submitted by
financial experts for the raising OF a
sufficient sum for the payment of he
Chinese idemnity. II is probable tina.
some arrangement Will be arrived at
on the basis of the scheme OF Sir Rob
ert Hart. director OF the Imperial mari
handing over OF the salt and like taxes
To tn. maritime customs admlnistra-
ton and the levying Of an annual tax
equal TO one half n months rent which
II is calculated Will provide 20,0J0.0Co
taels yearly. sufficient To pay . per
cent. interest on 10000 900 tales and
clear the whole OF the principal in less
than 40 years. Two hundred and fifty
taels is equivalent. roughly estimated.
to $3.50. 600 o.0. but the total amount of
the indemnity Is likely 10 bee much
more.
Some OF the powers are greatly al
verse to compelling China to contract
loan for tine payment Of the indpm
nifty. 1t Is thought that the increased
cost OF raising the money required in
that way is likely To hamper the COM
mercial development of China and il Is
therefore believed to be desirable To-
have The money raised Internally in
China.

Some Delaware papers are claiming
that the injunction issued by the {. s,
Supreme Court in the shad fishing con-
troversy in 1877 will apply to protect the
Delaware sturgeon fishermen who were
arrested two weeks 70. The injunction
was issued for the specific case then at
issue. Delaware had passed a law requlr-
ing nonresident fishermen to pay a
license OF $50. As Delaware claims juris-
diction to the New Jersey shore Delaware
officials arrested - persons and seized IL
boats and nets. The injunction was Is
sued to stop that only and reads as toll

or any of them, to take a license from or
