cation he pronounced the complaint scar

to act hastily in the matter, and adopted
the suggestion that DR.. Wells of Hyatts-
vile be called in consultation. This was
done, and the latter fully concurrad with
DR.. Diversified as to the nature of The all
ment.
A meeting of the faculty of the institu-

the tour of their base ball team which,
next to that of Georgetown University, is

lumbia Heights Citizens Association was
held at the Savoy Hotel, 18th and Binney

lows: Northwest corner of 18th street and
Columbia road, the space between nth and
18th streets and Dartmouth and Whitney
avenues and the land between 11th and 18th

nues. Referring to the first site, Mr. But
dy said the committee recommended that

tion of the District Commissioners to the

tiGn of the children of that territory.

Vocated the establishment in the suburbs,
such as Tenleytown Brightwood, Takoma

HOERs ASK AN INJUNCTION.
To Prevent shipment OF War Material
TO Great Britain.

TO Great Britain.
Proceedings were brought in the United
States court in New Orleans yesterday by
representatives of the Boer government to
prevent the sailing from there of the
steamship Anglo-Australian, loaded with
mules consigned to the British govern
ment in South Africa. Judge Parlange,
after reading the petition, issued an order
requiring the defendants to show cause
on April why preliminary injunction
should not be granted
The suit is brought by Samuel Pearson,
a citizen Of the South African republic, re-
siding at Barberton; Edward Vanness, a
citizen of New York, and Charles d Pierce,
consul general of the Orange Free State,
and is against Captain Parson, who runs
the steamer; Elder Dempster & Co.,
owners of the boat, and Messrs. Robert
and Matthew Warriner, who represent
Elder, Dempster & Co. here.
The petition sets forth that the United
States and it's people are at peace with
the South African republic and the Orange
Free State; that Great Britain is at war
with these republics seeking to destroy
the properly rights and credits of peti-
tiCnsrs; that for the purpose of carrying
on this war the Anglo-Australian is now
loading at this port with munitions of war,
namely, mules and horses, to the number
of 1,290: that the steamer Is employed
in the military service of the King of Great
have been forwarding from this port such
munitions of war. knowing that these mu-
nitions and the ship were in the military
service of Great Britain. and that they
were to be used against the people of
the South African republic and the Orange
Free State; that defendants are making
use of New Orleans as basis of the mill
tary operations of Great Britain in it's war
in South Africa and to augment its mill,
tary supplies and arms; that by the use
of these munitions the armies of Great
Britain are laying waste and destroying the
farms and homes of petitioners and hold
ing as prisoners of war the wife and chill
dren of one of the petitfouers-Samuel
Pearson: that Samuel Pearson has already
suffered the destruction and the loss of
property to the value Of 10000, and is
threatened with a loss of $15s',"Oo more
and finally. that the war can be carried on
by Great Britain only through the renewal
of it's military supplies from this port, and
that when these supplies cease the war
must end.
In consideration oS these statements an
injunction is asked to prohibit the ship
uent of military supplies out of the port
A temporary Injunction is asked in the
meantime.
The Anglo-Australian was expected to
sail today, but the effect of the order is
sued by Judge Parlange will be to detain
her until the hearing on Saturday

RUSSIA'S REPLY Unsatisfactory.
Japan VIII Maize Further ReDresen-
fatioBs Regarding Nnnchuria.

LONDON. April 3-"Bussia $ reply to ia
pans protest against the Manchurian con-
ventiuu.' says the Yokohama correspond aut
of the Daily Mail "is regarded as unsatis-
factory. and further vigorous representa-
tions viii follow.
Prince konoyo AtsumarO, president of
the house OF peers, in the course of an in
fammatory speech, openly discussed the
probable results of war between Japan
and Russia. and said that Japan could
count upon the friendly neutrality Of Great
Britain and Germany, He declared that
the United States would not interfere, and
that France would only cause '.neasiness
by the employment Of her Annamese forces
and by a naval demonstration off Formosa.
This. he predicted, would be the limit of
French action. and, therefore. JaDan'S
vastly superior army would be enabled
without great difficulty To drive Russia out
of Mauchuria-"
Leading japanese newspapers assert
that the Russian government has replied to
Japan's protest against the Mdnchurian
convention 10 the effect that Russia does
not wish to enter into discussion with a
third-poWer relative to her negotiations
with China; that the proposed agreement
is purely temporary, and not intended to
impair the sovereignty of China or to in
Jure the interests of other powers; that the
contents of the agreement, Immediately
upon It's conclusion. will be comm unicated
to the other powers, who will undoubtedly
find them acceptable; and, finally, that If
any of the provisions are not acceptable to
Japan, Russia is prepared to discuss the
matter in a friendly spirit
\ cabIegram to the New York Herald
from Pekin, under date of April l, says:
Despite statements TO the effect that China
has not rejected the Manchurian conven-
tion, it is thought here that she will prob
ably do so.
The Siceroys of the Yang-Tse, who since
last summer have been under financial OBJ
legations to England, have energetically re-
newed their protest.
Japan and England are both going to
great lengths in their efforts to secure the
rejection Of the treaty.
