ANSWERED CuARDEDLY
Granborne's Cautious Reply to
Question Concerning Brit
ain and Russia.

London, March 22-Replying to a
question in the house of commons to-
day as to whether the government pro-
posed to ask Germany to act in refer
ence to Russia's action at Manchuria,
the foreign under-secretary, Lord
Granborne, replied that the Russian
government had repeatedly declared its
intention to respect the integrity of
China and the British government was
not aware that Russia had infringed it.
The Indian secretary, Lord George
Hamilton, explained that the relations
between Great Britain and Russia in
China at one time were critical. If a
collision had occurred it would have
been difficult to foresee the ultimate
consequences. Therefore. it was i'm
possible to make a statement until
the negotiations had reached a final
satisfactory settlement. Lord Lans-
downe only reserved the acceptance of
Russia to the terms suggested by Great
Britain, as he was leaving the foreign
office for the house Of lords. Lord
Lansdowne pointed out facts that
were unknown to the minister and for
this reason no statement was made to
the house.

IN SOUTH PACIFIC
Storms and Murderous Natives
Add Test to Island
Life.

Vancouver, March 22-The steamer
Miowera, which arrived here today,
brings advice of a terrific hurricane
which swept over The New Hebrides
with destructive effect, New Caledonia
in particular suffering from it's de-
vastating effects. The. wind drove
several vessels ashore and played havoc
with the nickel c%ompany's property.
Trees were uprooted, plantations de-
stroyed and houses wrecked, although
there was no loss of life. At Tonga
four good sized ships were driven
ashore and completely wrecked.
The steamer also brings a story of
the obliteration of a native village
near Kumusi, New Guiena. The little
settlement was completely wiped out
by hostile natives from the interior.
About 80 were killed and 40 prisoners
were carried off, the latter being
women and children. The same band
shortly afterward attacked a mining
camp in the gold fields.
Henry King and Thomas Campton,
owners of the mine, were killed after
being savagely tortured. -Four of
their native carriers were murdered
and all the gold which had been mined
during the past season was carried off.

Greenville, Miss, March pa fire
which started this afternoon in the
Greenville cotton compress wrought
damage to the extent of 500, 600.
Tonight hundreds of bales of cotton

cry are damaged to the extent of $15,-
900 and are insured for $25, 600. The
cotton loss is 1900 bales, valued at

Famed by the wind, which was
blowing a gale, the fire crossed the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad,
destroyed the new Hope First Baptist
church and then swept into Steels
alley, destroying II tenement houses
and most of their contents, bringing
the total loss up to 500, 600. The
tenement houses destroyed were oc-
cupied by negroes, who carried no in
surance on their household goods.
Several people were badly burned,
but none fatally.

HIS ROOMS LINED WITH STEEL
ARMOR.
GREAT PLOT IS REVEALED
Secret Police Afraid to Trust High
est Officials Of Imperial
Encourage.

Berlin, March 22-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Cologne
Volks Zeitung, under date of March
II, forwards by mail news to the effect
that there is evidence in st. Peters
burg Of the existence of plots against
the authorities. He asserts that sums
of money are being distributed to the
factory hands in St. Petersburg and
vicinity to induce them to join the
disaffected students. 1t has not been
learned whence this money comes, hut.
indictions point to high sources about
the court.
Tho fact is, the correspondent con-
tinues, the secret police no longer trust
even the highest encourage Of the z
New precautions for the protection of
the czar's life have been taken, in the
nature of a mechanism which allows
no one to open the doors of the room
in which the czar happens at the
moment to be. The czar now has five
desks in his study which he uses, one
after the other. The walls OF his
study and bed room are lined with
steel armor.
The correspondent finds that evil
dence of new plots are general. Orders
were given Saturday night to keep all
the troops in St. Petersburg ready.
Sunday the police were distributed in
force on all the main streets Of the
city. The military commander of St.
Petersburg has received a number Of
warnings.
The Berliner Tageblat prints Il
special dispatch from st. Petersburg to
the effect that the Karpovich investi-
cation has revealed a great plot, SINH
lar to the nihilistic conspiracy, with
Kiff as a center, the nam branch at
Odessa and ramifcations extending to
the lowest strata of society. The plan
was to make all attempt on the life of
the GEAR, who was thereupon removed
to Gatchina.
Eighteen students are closely con-
fined at Schlussberg because they
were affiliated with the murder of M.
Bogoliepoff.

ENGLISH FOREIGN OFFICE ON

JAPAN MENAClNG RUSSIA
Mikado Determined to Oppose Sc
cret Agreement Between
Car and China.

London, March 22-The foreign
Office takes a pessimistic view of the
immediate situation in the east, in
spite of the settlement of the Tien
TsiE question, and entertains grave
fears that the relations between Japan
and Russia may shortly reach the
danger point.
Judging from information received
in various official quarters in London,
Japan has confided to at least some of
the powers her determination to op-
pose at all costs any secret agreements
made between Russia and China by
which the former could secure terri
torial OF. other advantages contiguous
to Korea.
The British government has re-
ceived no official confirmation that the
Japanese fleet is mobilizing, but it
would not be surprised to learn that
such were the facts. A highly placed
British official said to a representative
Of the Associated Press today:
"All Japan wants is a free hand
against Russia. This she has got, so
far as England and Germany are con-
cerned, and / presume SO far as the
United States is concerned; although
7 do not imagine for one moment that
any Of the powers mentioned would be
drawn into a wal between Japan and
Russia. If Japan sees nothing for it
but to fight she would have only the
moral support Of the objections COM
mitted to paper by at least two other
powers against secret treaties with
China. That is all. but Japan seems
to consider it sufficient to provide
against interference"
Confirmation Of the foregoing def
milton of the situation was afforded by
the secretary Of the Japanese legation.
1t appears that Great Britain would
be quite willing to refer the whole
Manchurian matter to arbitration or
the lines of The Hague conference.
The Tien Tsin siding affair is not con-
sidered important enough to be dis
posed of in this way and it will i'm
mediately become a matter of diplo-
matte correspondence between st.
Petersburg and London.

Modernity Has Little Respect for Divine
Right.

Berlin, March 22-Oficers of the
imperial household today were re-
ceived by Emperor William and con-
veyed the congratulations of the mem
bers upon his majesty's escape from
the recent attack made upon him in
Bremen. In the course of his reply,
Emperor William, according to a num-
Der of newspapers, said he had been
sorely grieved by the murderous at
tempt and complained with evident
emotion of the decentralization Of
YOUTH
"All classes Of the population bear
in the guilt of the present conditions"
said the emperor. Measures of the
government are too heatedly criticised.
Since the death of Emperor William I
the authority of the crown has suf-
fered greatly"

Waldersee Tells How Dispute Between
Russians and English Was Settled.

Berlin, March 22-The war Office
has received the following from Count
Won Waldersee: 1.-the Anglo-R Russian
dispute at Tien Tsin has been settled
from a military standpoint in a man
ner satisfactory to both parties at a
conference. between Generals Wogack
aud Barrow. Both guards and posts
have been withdrawn and salutes ex-
changed. The British declare that no
offence to the Russian flag was in
tended and the removal of the Russian
boundary marks was neither by COM
mand nor with the knowledge of the
military authorities.
1.-THE work on the disputed land
will not be continued until the govern
ments have reached an agreement as to
its possession or until a special under
standing has been attained"

MOSCOW IS UNEASY
Trouble Likely to Occur Between Popu-
lace and Authorities.

London, March 22-The Moscow
correspondents of the Standard in a
communication dated March Is, says:
A great demonstration of 30, 900
students and workmen was planned for
yesterday, but possibly on accent of
the elaborate police and military pre-
cautions it has been postponed until
the body of Bogoliepoff, the victim of
Karpovich, is brought here for burial.
For the last ten nights, report says,
the Moscow garrison have slept in
their clothing ready for instant action.
It will be surprising if matters are
finally settled without bloodshed.

Milwaukee, March 22-Fire tonight
completely wiped out the big piano

further destruction to adjoining prop
erty, entailing a loss close to $500, 900,

The fire started in the Rohlfing

was heavily stocked with pianos and
sheet music. The building and con-
tents we're licked up in the space of
half an hour and the fire quickly
spread to buildings on either side.

puted Territory.
Pekin, March 22-The British head
quarters here report the withdrawal of
both the Russian and British troops
from the disputed territory at Tien
Tsin. M. de Giers, the Russian min
lister to China, believes that every
thing will be amicably adjusted at
London and st. Petersburg and doubts
the probability of further trouble in
the matter.
General Voyoran, commander of the
French troops has ordered a new regi-
ment to Tien Tsin to replace the one
now there. The French officers here
think it was a mistake to leave a regi-
ment recruited in a city at Tien Tsin.
This regiment was composed Of the
Paris tough element.
At the meeting Of the foreign minis
tiers held this morning the only ques-
ton considered was that of policing
the legation quarters.

London Paper Severity. Arraigns Ministry
for Its Weakness.

London, March 22-Discussing the
peace negotiation at Pretoria the Daily
Mail, which d%enounces the weakness
of the government" in the %severest
terms, says: It is startling to find
that the government has capitulated
on SO many vital points. The minis
tiers have been willing to concede as
much as Il ''little Highlander adj
ministration would dare concede and
thereby have administered a shock to
the country's confidence. Our task in
South Africa will now be harder than
ever. T

nificant fact that Lord Kitchener and
Sir Alfred Miner, ''strong men on the
spot" were ready to go further in
Cancellation than Chamberlain.
