uDELL-PLA1T DIETER ENCES.
Governor Says They Are Honest and
There Is No Quarrel.

Albany, N. Y, March 22.-Governor
Odell this evening issued formal
sta tement in which he declares that he
is opposed to a metropolitan police bill,
because he does not believe that present
eXigencies would justify it's enactment,
and for the further reason that he does
not believe that it would be constitu-
tional He refers to the respective po-
sitions which have been taken on the
question by Senator Thomas G. Platt
and himself, and declares that they are
simply honest differences of opinion
and do not in the slightest degree con-
stitute a quarrel.
In the course of his statement the
governor says: II should decline to ap-
prove such measure on the condition
that in my judgment it would be vio-
lation of the spirit, if not the letter. of
the constitution. That men may differ
Is self-evident, but that such differ
ences should mean the sunderlng of
friendships which have covered long
period of years is ridiculous. There is
no quarrel between Senator Platt and
myself, nor can there be, because, while
we differ ON times on questions, we each
have absolute faith in the integrity of
purpose Of the other and are broad
enough in our views to recognize the
right and the duty as we'll of each to
act according to the commands of his
judgment"

Plots AGAINsT THE CHR.
New Precautions to Protect Him
Troops Held Rendy.

Berlin March 22-The st. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Cologne Volks Zei-
tung, under date of March II, forwards
by mail news to the effect that there is
evidence in ST. Petersburg Of the exist
ence Of plots against the authorities.
He asserts that sums of money are be-
ing 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, but Indications point to
high sources about the court.
THE fact is" the correspondent con-
tinues, "the secret police no longer trust
even the highest circle about the czar.
New precautions for the protection OF
the czar's life have been taken, namely,
a mechanism which allows no one to
open the doors of the room In which the
czar happens at the moment to be. TIE
czar now has five desks in his study,
which he uses one after the other. The
walls of the study and bedroom are lin
ed with steel armor."
The correspondent finds that evidence
of the new plots was general. Orders
were given on Saturday night to keep
all the troops In st. Petersburg ready.
On Sunday the police were distributed
in force on all the main streets Of the
city. The military commander of st.
Petersburg, M. Kleigels, received a
number of warnings.
The Berliner Tageblatt prints a dis
patch from St. Petersburg, by way Of
Lemberg to the effect that the Karpo-
witch investigation has revealed a great
plot, similar to the nihilist conspiracy
with Kieff as a center, the main branch
in Odessa and ramificstions extending
to the lowest strata of society The
plan was to make an attempt on the
life of the czar, who was thereupon re-
moved to Gatchina. Eighteen students
are closely confined at Schluesselberg
because they were affiliated with the
murderer of M. Bogoliepoff.

ANGLO-RUSSlAN RELATIONS
WE'RE CRITICAL REGARDING
CHINA At ONE TIME.
Announcement Made in the House of
Commons by Lord George Hamilton
Ifa Collision Had Occurred 1t Would
Have Been Difficult to Foresee the Uitf
mate Consequences.


London, March 22.-The Indian secre-
tary, Lord George Hamilton in the
House of Commons this evening, ex-
planned 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 impossible to make
statement until the negotiations had
reached final, satisfactory settlement.
Lord Lansdowne only received the ac-
ceptance of Russia to the terms sug-
gested by Great Britain as he was leav-
ing the foreign office for the House of
Lords. Lord Lansdowne possessed
facts which were unknown to any other
minister and knowing how far the ne
gottations had gone, he felt he ought to
tell the House, when asked a question
on the subject
The Tsouse then divided on the ques-
tion Of the adjournment, which was de-
feated by a vote of $50 to 1853. The ad-
journment was proposed by the opposi-
tion because the temporary settlement
of the Tien Tsin incident had not been
communicated to the Commons as soon
as it was to the Lords and was intend
ed as a censure Of the government.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
Grave Fears That Their Relations May
Besult I'm War.

London, March 22.-The foreign office
takes a pessimistic view of the imme-
diate future in the far east in spite of
the settlement of the Tien Tsin Incl
dent and entertains grave fears that
the relations between Japan and Rus
sia may shortly reach the danger point.
Judging from information obtained in
various official quarters in London,
Japan has confided to at least some Of
the powers her determination to oppose
at all costs any secret agreements made
between Russia and China by which
the former could secure territorial or
other advantages contiguous to Korea.
The British government has received
no official confirmation that the Japa-
nese fleet is mobilizing, but it would not
be surprised to learn that such were
the facts. A highly placed British Of
fetal said to representative of The
Associated Press to-day: "All Japan
wants is a free had against Russia.
This she has got so far as England and
Germany is concerned and, presume,
SO far as the United States government
Is concerned, although do not imagine
for one moment that any of the powers
mentioned would be drawn into a war
between Japan and Russia If Japan
sees nothing for it but to fight. she
would have the moral support of obiec-
tions committed to paper by at least
two other powers against secret treaties
with China. That is all, but Japan
seems to consider it sufficient to pro-
vide against interference
Confirmation of the foregoing condi-
tion of the situation was afforded by
the secretary of the Japanese legation,
who said in the course of an interview
"While rejoicing at the fact that Eng
land and Russia have reached a pacific
settlement over the minor ISSUE the
main questionable integrity of the Chi
nese empire-remains unsettled In re-
sponse to pressure brought by Japan
upon Russia it was announcedthat
Russia's secret treaties with China had |
been modified, but the terms have been |
withheld
Until we see the treaties we will not !
be satisfied that the modification does
not consist of words. merely without |
any alteration in the spirit. In this !
contention we believe other powers will
support u.s.

be quite willing to refer the whole Man

ousy and Drunk.
New York, March 22.--Rchard Hay
den Moulton, of Springfield, Tenn, a
young student at Columbia college,
crazed with whskey and morphine and
actuated by jealousy, attempted to
shoot Miss May Buckley, a member of
the price of Peace company, now
playing at the Broadway theater, and
wounded Alexander r. Dingwall, gem
eral manager for Jacob Litt's theatrical
enterprises. John G. Leffingwell as

ater, narrowly escaped, the bullet pass
ing through his clothing.
The shooting occurred in the Raths-
kellar of the Pabst hotel, on Broadway

to be infatuated with one of the ac-
tresses in the company and jealous of
the attentions of Leffingwel or Ding
wall. When he was arrested a guam
tity Of morphiee, both in solution and
in tablets, was found In his pockets
The young man himself says that he
does not remember what he did and ad-
mits that he was under the influence Of
both morphine and whiskey.
He was arraigned in the police court
charged with the shooting and was
held in bonds of $1,000. He telegraphed
to his family for assistance and was
locked up. Recently it is said Moulton

his return has lived in a hotel on Broad
