London, March 25.-The Daily Mail
publishes the following from its ST.
Petersburg correspondent: '.Yester-
day 500 workmen from the Obuchower
metal works paraded on the Nevskoi
prospekt. On the way thither they
demolished the state brandy booths.
Eight hundred Cossacks, with drawn
swords, met the workmen and a san
culinary encounter ensued. The num-
ber Of killed and wounded, however
is kept quiet.
"The police have discovered a plot
against the life Of the cZar. It ap-
pears that group of students drew
lots and that the fatal choice fell to
the son of prominent general. This
student told his father and the latter
Informed the czar, imploring him to
leave st. Petersburg"
The st. Petersburg correspondent Of
the Daily Express says: "In the last
encounter at Narva gate 100 workmen
are reported to have been killed or
wounded by the Cossacks."
London, March PA dispatch from
st. Petersburg to Reuters Telegram
says that in consonance with what
is believed to be the cZar's expressed
wish, the minister of the interior
has published instructions for the au-
thOrities of the towns and provinces
recommending preventive measures
against disturbances, as being more
effective than severe repression after
disturbances have broken out.
The Birmingham Post. which is
closely in touch with Joseph Cham
berlain, says news received in high
quarters in London indicates that the
czar is in very nervous state. owing
to the condition of the political horizon.
1T is said that he fears the result of
the policy Of his ministers in the far
east, while the student troubles and
threats against his life. Of which there
are more than have been published,
have completely unnerved his majesty.
His medical advisers have strongly
cOunseled yachting cruise, but the
czar has refused to follow their ad-
vice. Those behind the scenes in
Russia take Il very grave view of the
present agitation and think it is the
beginning Of more serious trouble

forbidding China to construct her own
railways without Russia's consent.

JAPAN SHOWS MODERATION
REQUEST FOR INCREASED INDEMNITY
FROM CHINA WITHDRAWN.

Washington. July lin a spirit which has
aroused the keenest admiration of the State De-
partment the Japanese Government has met the
difficulty growing out of the preference of heI
request for an increase of her indemnity from
China by withdrawing that request. The result
is substantial loss to Japan. She asked orig
Inally for $23 600 600 This amount was more
moderate than that demanded by any of the
other powers which played any prominent part
in the Chinese campaign and represented the
barest expense of the undertaking. 1t was fixed
on the idea that payment was to be made in
cash by China. Confronted with the bond pay
ment the japanese Government asked that her
allotment be increased to $21.00000O in bonds
to make good the loss she would suffer through
the sale of the bonds.
AS of the other nations found
that the allotment, originally fixed, was in
danger of being disturbed they increased their
demands and thus il is that Japan, finding that
insistence on her demand would block the ne
gotiations at this phase, has withdrawn her re-
quest, for the present at least. 1t is safe to
that the United States Government will
do what 1t can to secure compensati ton for Japan
in some other way in the future
