RUSS|A'S LATEST MOVE.
The Muscovite is Reported to Have
Reoccupied the Chinese Port
Of New Chwang.
EXTENSIVE WARllkE PREPARATIONS.
Russians Said to BE Constructing
Forts ON the Hill Near Lao Yung,
Commanding the Road Between
There and the Yalu River-HOw
The Movement Is Viewed.

Pekin, 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 be-
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 broughtw with them several
large guns. A 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
against the Russians in Manchuria.
The foreign ministers, Friday, dis
cussed information to the effect that
the Russians had taken a 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 in
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
sence. This is a favorite stratagem OF
Chinese officials who are DESTROYS 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 a 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 a consulate
at Mukden.

VETERANS WANT new BILL
Desire Recognition For Services
During Indian War.
Would Alter Measure Fathered by
- Congressman McGleary.
Colonel VIM. Pfaender and Other
Will Seek Legislation.

Veterans of the Sioux Indian war of
1862 and 1868 are planning upon max
ing another attempt to secure pensions
for their army service. The men who
were engaged in the defense of the
frontier during the Little Grow upris-
ing feel that they are entitled to recog-
milton at the hands of the government
and they are arranging to renew the
applications which have been made at
various times since the outbreak. To
that end several conferences have been
held in New Ulm recently and plans
have been prepared for making final
determined effort.
Last winter Congressman j. T.
McCleary of this district, drew up a
bill intended for the relief of the
survivors of the Indian campaigns
! and on February 26, 1908, it was in
PRODUCED in the house of representa-
tives by Congressman J. A. Tawney.
H. R. 1853, as it is styled, is:
"a bill to amend section forty-six
hundred and ninety three of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States,
relative to invalid pensions.

SLEEPY EYE STIRRED up
Residents Object 70 Revision Made
in Assessment.
Will Ask Relief of State Board of
Equalization.
l. NJ. Olsen aud Hans Mo Prepare
Lengthy Abstract.

Sleepy Eye people are coming out of
their trance. They do not approve of
the recent action of the county board
OF equalization in advancing their
assessments and are planning to appeal
to the state board for relief. Monday
afternoon Attorney I. M. Olsen and
Hans Mo drove down from that place
and spent several hours examining the
tax books of New Ulm, Springfield
and Sleepy Eye.
While in the city they were not I'M
duly communicative as to their plans
but they intimated that they would
enter vigorous protest with the state
board of equalization. They prepared
a comparative abstract showing that
valuations in Sleepy Eye were in
creased from to 400 per cent above
those of New Ulm and Springfield and
will doubtless attempt to secure a
readjustment on the grounds that they
have been initiated against. Failing
in this they will probably try to obtain
an abatement by having thes state board
establish a lower local tax rate, which
shall apply to their village alone.
The Sleepy Eye tax matter is com
plication which is absolutely new in
this county. When the assessor went
around in Senator Somerville's baili-
wick this spring he failed to find over
one hundred property owners, some of
them heavy taxpayers. AS a result the
assessed valuation of the towns per-
sonal property was some S23, 1000 short.
The village board of review passed
upon the returns and found them salts
factory but when the books were sent
in to County Auditor L. G. Vogel he
Immediately noticed the discrepancy.
He sent them back without delay to
have the missing names inserted but
the assessor could not be reacheds and
the alterations were not made. In due
time they reached the county board Of
equalization and the only recourse of
that body was to advance the values
This was done but as it increases the
taxes of those who are upon the Sleepy
Eye rolls by about twenty-five per
cent, they are decidedly wrathy. The
assessor and the board of review are
being criticised numerically and in
the meantime there is a busy search
for a panacea.

OF Nlcollet county, was appointed and
to them the representative from this
district promised to lend his assist
ance, but he was unable to introduce
the bill until late in the session and
when it was referred to the committee
on pensions it was never returned
from their room.
His measure, however, is not entire
~ satisfactory to the veterans. A
clause in it req uires that soldiers must
have taken part in a battle or skirmish
with the Indians. thus barring num-
Der of men who spent some time in
active service but we're not actually
engaged. Also, the closing paragraph
is ambiguous. It limits the conces-
sions to those covered by the pension
act of 1890, one of whose provisions
is that every applicant must have been
regularly mustered into the service of
the United States. All of the men who
would hope to benefit by the proposed
law answered necessity's call to arms
and were not sworn in by an army
officer, a fact which would seem to
disqualify them under it's wording.
| In view of of the failure of the pen
sion committee to recommend the bill
for passage, and as an entirely new
form will have to be- drawn, the gentle
men interested in the matter are in
favor of making several changes. Rev.
Daniel Pfaff of Waseca, who has
labored in behalf Of his comrades for
years, was in the city recently in con
sultation with Col. VIM. Pfaender,
Chas. Wagner and others. These men,
acting in conjunction with the com
mittee appointed a year ago, will
again enlist the aid of Congress1nan
McCleary and the other members OF
the Minnesota delegation; rel ying upon
them to frame suitable measure and
secure it's passage. They will not take
any steps until congress is in session,
but will then take the matter up with
the pension committee. /.
The first attempt at securing legis-
lation of this sort dates back a great
many years. During the time the late
Alexander Ramsey was a member of
the United States senate he engineered
the passage Of an amendment to the
pension laws which included aportion
Of the defenders and under it a great
many of those who were wounded or
disabled while campaigning against
the savages succeeded in having their
names placed upon the rolls. When
it expired it was once renewed but in
1878 again became obsolete and all
subsequent efforts to obtain its rein
statement have proven abortive. For
the past twenty-five years Col. VIM.
Pfaender has interested himself in the
project and he still has hopes of see.
ing the defenders placed upon an equal
footing with the volunteers of the civil
war. In the event of the passage OF
| the bill there are not more than $50 or
100 men living who would be bene-
| fitted. ~.
