MAY STOP ENLISTNENTS,

No Necessity For So Many Soldiers Since
Aauinaldo's Capture.
AS result of the capture Of Agui-
naldo and the belief among Washing
ton officials that speedy and COM
plete collapse of the insurrection in
the Philippines will follow, the full
strength of the army authorized by
the recent army reorganization act
may not be enlisted. The question is
being canvassed by the president and
the authorities. If conditions turn
out as the officials here now believe
thew will there will be no necessity
for recruiting an army of 100, 900 men.

CHINESE MUST sign
Russia Seems Determined to Pre-
cipitate Oriental War:
CAR THREATENS TO USE FORCE
China, On the Other Hand, Stands
Steadfast In Her Refusal to
Relinquish rlanchuria.

Information has reached Washing
! ton to the effect that the Russian gov
ernment, being seriously perturbed by
the course of China in not signing the
Mauchurian agreement, largely be-
cause of the protest made by the sew
eral powers, has conveyed a distinct
and unmistakable indication to China
that if this course is persisted in there
may be an interruption of diplomatic
relations between Russia and China
and termination of the present inter-
course between them. This is little
short of an ultimatum that China must
sign or take the consequence OF ter
mination of her friendly relations with
Russia.
70 what extent the United States
will take cognizance of Russia's dis
position to enforce the signing OF the
agreement has not yet been made ap.,
parent. It appears to be the policy OF
the Chinese authorities to consider
this as a subject which concerns the
powers quite as much as it does China.
The matter has become further com
plicated by reports reaching Washing
ington that the Chinese authorities
themselves are divided on the course
to be pursued, some of the most In
fuential, including Ii Hung Chang,
urging that acquiescence be given to
the Russian proposals, while others
insist on rejecting the agreement.
| The attitude of Ii Hung Chang is ac'
counted for by his well-known friend
illness for Russian interests. In this
case, however, there appears to be ar
rayed against him the strong influence
of the southern viceroys, Chan Chi
Tung and Lila Kun vi, who oppose
the signing of the treaty. The reports
reaching Washington Monday morn
Ing showed that the agreement not yet
been signed.
A London special says: "The Chi
nese emperor, I am officially informed,
has instructed the Chinese plenipo'
tentiaries,' says the Pekin cores
pondent of The Daily Mail, "not to
sign the Manchurian convention even
in a modified FORM"
DR.. Morrison, wiring to The Times
from Pekin March 2Sth. says:
| "The Yang-tse viceroys have carried
] the day. Ii Hung Chang, who wired
Tuesday urging Emperor Kwang 81
to reconsider his decision, received an
answer that the thrones decision, II
the presence of the unanimous advice
j of the chief provincial officials, was
irrevocable, and that the Manchuriar
convention could not be signed.
''In spite of her threats, Russls
seems destined to slam the door. No
gotiations between Ii Hung Chang
and NJ. De Giers were certainly pro
ceeding yesterday when NJ. De Giers
agreed to several formal amendments
to the text. Russia's cynical and bolo
diplomacy appears for once to have
over-reached itself"
MORE TIME ASKED.
It is claimed here on reliable author
ity that China has asked Russia to al
low her a further extension OF time
before directing the question OF sign
ing the Msnchurian agreement. Bott

BULLET MISSED GAR
Officer of Nicholas Household Did
the Shooting--Tolstoi Banish-
ed From Russia.


A dispatch to The London Morning
Leader from Kieff. Russia, says that
an officer of the household tried to
assassinate the cZar. He fred at his
majesty, but missed, and then shot
and killed himself.
ToLSToI BANISHED.
It was rumored in St. Petersburg
several days ago, but generally dis
believed, that Count Leo Tolstoi
had been banished from Russia
because of the attempted assas-
sination of Privy Councillor Po-
biedonostzef, chief procurator OF the
Holy Synod, who was shot at early in
the morning of March 22d, while sit
ting in his study, the attempt being at
tributed to a desire for revenge, grow
ing out of the accommodation OF
Count Tolstoi.
Owing to the indefniteness of the
rumor, it was disregarded by the cor
respondent of the Assoc 'ated Press at
St. Petersburg. Now, however, the
correspondent has received private
letter from a usually trustworthy
source in wilma, capital of the govern
ment of that name, saying that Count
Tolstoi was reported to have passed
through Wilma March 26ih, being es-
corted to the frontier by two gen.
darmes.
The trial of Peter Karpovitch. the
assassin of NJ. Bologiepoff, the Rus
sian minister of public instruction,
who has been sentenced to twenty
years penal servitude with loss OF
civil rights, was strictly secret. Ad-
mittance was only by card.
STUDENTS LOYAL TO ToLsTo1.
"a thousand students of the Uni.
versity of Kieff have forwarded pc
tition to the holy synod" says the
Odessa correspondent of The London
Daily Express, 'sin which they ask to
be communicated with Count
Tolstoi."
