THE WHOLE SITUATION
PUT INTO A NUTSHELL.
STATEMENT OF THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN RUSSIA AND ENG
LAND By GEN. wOGACK.
BRITISH THE AGGREssoRs,
WITHOUT PERMISSION OR JUsrIFI.
CATION. ENCROACHED UPON
RUSSIAN GROUND.

LONDON, March 21-"Gen. worak
has refused TO accept Count yon Wal
dersee's arbitration at Tien Tsin.'' saws
the Pekin correspondent of the Daily
Mail, wiring yesterday, "and demands
that the British not only withdraw but
apologize for removing the Russian
flag.
Gen. Barrow refuses to do either.
n in so refusing has the support OF
the British government. British rein
forcements are being sent"
"Russia's proceedings in Korea saws
the Kobe correspondent of the Daily
Mail" ARE now openly aggressive, and
it is believed that she is about to make
further demands in connection with
Ma-San-Sho."
TEN TSIN, March 20.-Gen. wogack
has made the following statement of
the Russian position:
'The question over which we unhap.
PLY are at odds is not whether the
disputed ground belongs to us or TO the
Chinese government or t o the railway
company. but whether the English will
make good their trespass.
AT the time the British attempted
to take possession the ground was pro-
tected by Russian flags and a clearly
d~elineated boundary of stone. These
flags were overturned and thrown
away by a working party of Bengal
pioneers and coolies, who went on with
their work until driven of by our
guards.
Before we can discuss the question
of ownership the British. who are still
to some extent on our ground, must
withdraw. Once the British have with
drawn | am sure the Russian imperial
government will ignore all previous re-
grettable violence and listen Ia a most
friendly spirit to whatever the British
government may have to say regarding
the definite possession of the disputed
territory. No sane person can for an
instant doubt that had the English re-
quested permission to build a switch or
side track on our ground it would have
been Immediately granted.
Unfortunately. however. they sought
their ends by forclble means. The
British troops must be withdrawn from
Russian territory. There can be no
other settlement"

Special to the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, March 20.-Circuit
Court opened here Monday. 1t brought
quite a crowd to town, which will prob
ably remain until the end of the SEES
sion, which looks now as if it would
run it's entire limit of two weeks. The
first case being heard is the State
against ex-President of the County
Court Clark Simmons, for shooting with
intent to kill Rev. John C. Rexroad.
The readers of the Register will re-
member that this trouble grew out of
the ownership of a few old rails thrown
from a line fence. The evidence has
shown that these rails are over forty
five years old. Rev. J. c. Rexroad was
the first witness called. His examina-
ton lasted up until this time. The
case is growing quite interesting and
will last the rest of the week, over one
hundred witnesses being summoned.

Two Attempts Have Been Made to
Take It-A Reign OF Terror.
BERLIN, March 20.-The st. Peters,
burg correspondent OF the Tageblatt
says he has learned OF two separate
co~nspiracies to assassinate the Gar.
The first attempt was planned TO be
made on the occasion of the jubilee ball
of the naval cadet corps. which the
Car had promised to attend. His
majesty was ready to start and was
awaiting his carriage when Gov. Gen.
Kleigels arrived at the palace and In
formed him that he must not go. sew
eral suspicious persons belonging to
the revolutionary party having been ar
rested at the Nicola bridge with arms
and forged passports. He informed
his majesty that the prisoners were
probably emissaries Of the central
Nihilist committee at Zurich. Tbs
visit was accordingly abandoned.
the second affair occurred in the
middle OF January. when the Car, ac-
companied by his mother. visited the
Ceramic exhibition. When entering
one OF the rooms the members OF the
committee. who were escorting the i'm
perial party. suddenly noticed an un-
known mar hurriedly approaching
the Gear. AS the public had been ex-
cluded and those authorized to attend
had been carefully selected. the pres
ence OF the stranger excited sugpi-
cion.

A SITUATION
COnfronts the City OF Marseilles-Con.
6fct Between Strikers and Troops

C~onfronts the City Of MarseilIes-Con-
htct Between Strikers and Troops.
MARSEILLES, March 20.-The sit
uation here is very disquieting owing
to the increasing aggressive attitude of
the strikers. During the disorders to-
day the panic spread to the t~ownspeo-
pie, and stores, restaurants and cafes
were huriedly closed. The Rue de Ia
Cannebiere and the other leading thor
oughfares of the city were deserted.
1t was feared that the mob, which was
charged by mounted gendarmes and
hussars, ithout attempt to pillage.
A crowd numbering 1900 burst
through a. Gordon of infantry along
the dock side. The cavalry charged
and drove the strikers back. A volley
of stones was then thrown in all d.
rections, and a brigadier, two gend-
armes, a hussar and several infantry
men were injured. One gendarme was
stunned, thrown from his horse and
trampled upon by the cavalry. He
was removed to a hospital, where he
lies in a critical condition.
The soldiers were greatly ~exasperat-
ed, but their officers succeeded in con-
trolling them.
The strikers are irritated at the re-
fusal of the premier, NJ. Waldeok-Rous-
seau, to receive the Socialist Mayor Of
Marseilles, NJ. Fl~aissierss.
Two hundred women, several with
babes in arms, took part in to-day's
demonstration in spite of the rain.
With the exception of the Socialist or
gans the press shows little sympathy
with the strikers. The public gener-
ally recognizes that the strike has al
ready done an immense amount of in
jury and may completely ruin the port.

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, March 20
The fight against DR.. jerome H.
Raymond, president of the University,
has ended, as far as his connection
wit hthe school is concerned. His res
ignation mas been accepted by the
Board of Regents, as the document
was placed before them this morning
and accepted unanimously. The resig-
nation takes effect at once, and is I'M
conditional. 1t was merely a formal
notification of his desire to be re-
leased from any further connection
with the University.
Mrs. Raymond left to-day for New
York. Mr. Raymond will leave to-mor-
row, and on Saturday morning they
will sail for London.
They will remain in London until
fall, when they will return to Chi
cago, where lie will his duties
in connection with the University ex-
tension work of the University Of Chi
cago, with which he was connected
before coming to this State.
He was president of the University
for three years, during the life of the
present board. He succeeded DR.. P.

school had oegun to grow.
While nere the attendance has reach
ed nearly a thousand in point of num-
sbers, and many departments have been
added to the school. Three new build
ings have been started, and additions
built to some of the old ones. The
faculty has been very largely increased
and in every department of the school
there has been growth and progress.
The speculations about his success
sor have been rife. Many gentlemen
have been mentioned in this connec-
tion. The present board is not expect
ed to take any action at this meeting,
aside from designating some one to
act as acting president until a success
sor shall be elected by the new board.
Among those mentioned in this con-
nection are President D.. B. Purinton,
of Dennison University; Waitman T..
Barbe, assistant to the president;
Prof. c. II. Patterson, professor of ell
ocution; Col. r. E. Fast, member of
the faculty; Hon. A. G. Dayton, mem
Der of Congress; Ex-Governor Atkin-
son; DR.. I. c. White and others. None
of thees gentlemen are candidates for
the position, and the mention of their
names is done without their consent.
DR.. White announced positively
that he will not accept the place if
rendered to him. He says he was Of
fered the position years ago and de-
clined at that time. The reasons for
which he declined then are more CO.
gent than then, and he will have
to reiterate his declination. Prof. Pat
terson also declines to be considered
In this connection.
1t is altogether probable that the
salary of the president will be raised
and a nan of wide experience in the
sort of work required will be chosen.
In this manner it is hoped to avoid the
mistakes which have been made in
the past In this direction. 1t is not
believed that all of the failures have
been by reason of inexperience on the
part of the men who have been select
ed to preside over the destinies of the
school.
