RUSSIA CAUSES WORRY
Seizure In Tien-tsin Bothers State
Department.
ROOKHILL ASKS FOR ORDERS.
Minister Congcr Says He Does Not
Know Russia's Intentions = The
Emperor Cannot Return to Pc
king Until Allies Withdraw.

Washington, March II. - State de-
partment officials regard the mutually
menacing attitude Of Russia and Great
Britain over the seizure of territory in
the suburbs of Tien-tsin by Russia as
the most serious incident which has oc-
CURED since the foreign armies occu-
pied the Pe-chi-li district.
The officials are disposed to side with
Great Britain partly because Russlas
action is in contravention of her reply
to the identical note of the United
States sent out Feb. 10 asking that all
the powers pledge themselves to re-
ceive no concessions or extension OF
concessions unless by mutual consent
Russia's reply was construed by the
United States as agreeing to that prop
osition, and state department officials
are of the opinion that it makes no diff
| ference whether or not Russia made
| the seizure before or after the United
| States note.
1t was pointed out only a few days
ugo that Russia had not answered cate
| gorically, but had evaded the real ques-
1
remain in Manchuria.
| The state department afiirms that il
has no news from the scene of the
prospective clash, although it has dis
patch from Special Envoy Rockhill. II
is merely admitted that Mr.. Rockhill
asks for specific instructions on cer-
tain matters"
| The officials do not care to say what
will be done by the United States in
case an armed conflict takes place.
Interview with Conger.
| Dispatches state that the North Chi
ma Gazette publishes an interview with
Mr. Edwin ii. Conger, United States
minister at Peking, in which he is
quoted as saying:
Il Will not venture to say how far
Russia is prepared to go. The Man
churian treaty is still unconcluded, but
If it is ratified il would certainly af-
feet the peace negotiations Only the
Germans and French are now engag-
ing in punitive expeditions. The Ger
mans are operating on the borders of
| Shansi and the French around pao-
ting-fu. | believe it'is impossible for
the emperor to return to Peiing until
the allies withdraw and the Chinese
officials are restored to power.
The empress dowager's return
added Mr.. Conger depends on the
capacity in which she comes back. The
emperor was free to bring her. The
ministers recognized her responsibility
in regard to the outbreak, but thought
ii was due to bad advice given by
Prince Tuan and General Tung Fuh

DUEL EXCITES PARIS.
The De Castellane-De Rodays Affair
the Chief Topic.
HOW THEY FOUGHT IT OUT.
De Rodnys Fires the First shot--Ut-
most CaImness Prevails Through
out Whole Proceeding-Police
Are Thrown on the scent.

Paris, March 17.-Paf4s is very much
wrought up over the Castellane- Rodays
duel. The duel was carried out with
the utmost correctness, and every step
of the proceedings was marked by alb
solute calmness and courtesy ON both
sides, which if anything enhanced it's
dramatic effect. The secret regarding
the place and hour of the encounter
was so well kept that only the princi-
pals, their seconds, the Marquis de Cas-
tellane and Counts Jean and Stanislas
de Castellane were apparently within
the Pare des Princes, though a few
strangers witnessed the meeting from
outside the palisade.
No time was lost in preliminaries.
Greetings were briefly and speedily ex-
changed, and then Count de Dion was
seen by the spectators to separate from
the group, fix a stick in the center of
the grass, take 25 regular PAGES and
plant another stick.
| Count Boni and Nj. de Rodays then
divested themselves of their overcoats
and took their positions at either ex-
tremity of the space marked off. Both
turned up the collars of their frock
coats In order to conceal their white
linen, which offered a mark,
Count de Dion then returned to the
group and, kneeling down, broke the
seals of the case in which the pistols
had been brought to the grounds. The
weapons were taken out and examined
by the seconds on both sides.
! Count de Dion now in clear. reson-
ant voice stated the rules of the duel
and then went to the principals and
handed them the pistols, afterward
withdrawing 20 PAGES and stationing
himself midway between them to the
right. He asked them to cock their
weapons, and both did so with the ut
most care.
The two adversaries then stood i'm.
mobile, with arms outstretched, theil
pistols pointing toward each other and
their eyes running along the barrels
awaiting word of command. Count
Castellane's slim figure stood out clear.
ly on the green lawn, but NJ. de Ro

The Word Given.
A few moments of deep silence fol
lowed. Then, "Are you readyY' asked

and then the word "Firer' rang oui
