The Movement iS viewed.

Pedn, May 9.-Russia has reoccu-
pied New Chwang. This coup has
caused profound surprise here, as re-
cent developments had led to the ex
pectation that Russia would COM
promise her demands, since they had
been revealed to the powers. The
latest maneuver is interpreted as Le-
ing intended as a reply to China's re-
fusal to grant Russia's demands, to
the protests of the powers, and as a
declaration that she is ready TO fight
IN order to maintain possession of
Manchuria
The news of Russian activity, which
comes from a most trustworthy
source at New Chwang, adds that on
their return to New Chwang the Rus
sian troops broughtwith them several
large guns. \ large force has been
ordered to reoccupy Tien Chwang
Tai. The Russians have $4,000 troops
between the mouth of the Lao river
and Port Arthur.
The Russians are reported to be
constructing forts on the hill near
Lao Yung, commanding the road be-
tween there and the Yalu river, and
they have arranged to have a large
quantity of provisions delivered at
New Chwang.
A dispatch from an official at New
Chwang says indications point strong
ly to these active preparations being
intended to guard against operations
Rms in
The foreign ministers. Friday, dis
cussed information to the effect that
the Russians had taken large tract
of land across the river from New
Chwang, commanding the terminus of
the Shan Hal Kwan railroad. 1t is
stated that Russia informed the
Chinese officials that the tract was
needed for a Russian drill ground.
The selection of the site seemed re-
markable, because all the troops were
then quartered on the opposite side of
the river, several miles distant, where
plenty of land was available.
The Chinese officials describe the
dowager empress as being greatly
distressed and as fearing that the
Russian aggression will excite anti
foreign demonstrations, resulting III
retaliation on the part of the foreign
-ers and the introduction of more for
eign troops. Nowhere has a sugges-
ton been heard that China will resort
to arms in order to resist Russia.
Prince Ching, the grand secretary,
Friday secured five days leave of alb
Eence. This is a favorite strata9em of
Chinese officials who are desirous Of
avoiding unpleasant situations.
1t is stated here that Russian influ-
ence is being exerted to conciliate
American opinion and that appeals
are being made to the traditional
friendship of the two nations, with
the argument that Russian develop
ment of Manchuria will open great
field for American commerce, while
the opposition of the United States to
Russia's plans might provoke retalia-
ton against American trade. The
Russians have established consulate
at Mukden.

London, May 9.-The Russian pre-
ceedings at New Chwang are attribut-

NEVER FULLY EVACUATED.
How the News From PeI<in is Com
strued I'm London.

London, May 9.-The announcement
from Pekin that the Russians have
''reoccupied'' New Chwang must not
be understood as implying that they
ever fully evacuated the place. The
news is taken here to mean that the
town has been reoccnpied by the
force, the withdrawal of which was
announced in April, when the Rus
slams said that all the toorps except
the men necessary for the police
guard had been removed.

The iron market has changed so lit

said to be in statu quo. A great deal Of

both by buyers and sellers, as it is be

Imply that prices must necessarily re-
