NARROW ESCAPE.

According to the McGregor News
Mrs. Cora Warner, the we'll known
actress, had narrow escape from
drowning last week. While attempt
ing to step from one float to another
she in some way missed her footing
and was precipated into the water
which was quite deep, but for the
timely assistance of her sister, Mrs.
julie Warner Stanton, who as in real
stage life, just as the last chance is
almost gone, comes to the rescue and
fishes her out, and returns her safe
and sound, only little worse for her
ducking.

derstood as implying that they ever fully
evacuated the place. The news is taken
here to mean that the town has been re-
occupied by the force, the withdrawal
or which was announced in April when
the Russians said that all the troops
except the men necessary for the police
guard had been removed.
The Chinese Ambassador here in an
interview IS quoted as saying he has not
received official confirmation of the Rus
sian action at New Chwang. If true,
he added, it means that Russia will
eventually occupy the whole province.
and though China is not prepared for war,
she will probably resent any attempt
to do this. The Russian proceedings
at New Chwang are attributed here to
China's refusal to comply with the de-
mands which Russia submitted recently.

London, May 9.-The British Foreign
Office is without any official news of the
Russian action at New Chwang. The sub
ject has not been mentioned by either
the British Ambassador at st. Petersburg,
or the British Charge d'Affaires at Pekin.
The Foreign Office here also has not
been Informed of any intention on the
part of the United States of cooperating
with Great Britain and Japan in a joint
protest. Such cooperation would be
warmly welcomed and would come as a
pleasant surprise to Downing Street, in
view of the State Departments declina-
ton hitherto to act "jointly" with Great
Britain, though admittedly working for
a common object. In view of the vigor-

Washington. May S.-Postmaster Gener-
al Payne today dismissed James Dover, a
firemen employed in the Postoffice Depart
ment as a result of charges that Dover
recently filed against Chief Engineer James
O'Donncll ana other superior officers.
Dover alleged that a ring to govern pro
motions and other matters existed. IN the
cngine room and that improper contracts
had been made. The charges were investl-
gated by a postoifice Inspector and the
report does not sustain them. The Post
master General today that the
action of Dover in making the frivolous
and scandalous charges, giving them pub
licity and then failing utterly to sustain
them, IS to the detriment of the service and
subversive of all discipline, the discharge
of Dover is ordered for the good of the
service The inspectors report says
Dover is reported by Assistant Engineer
Anderson to have melted or attempted to
incite other employees to acts of insubor-
dination.

A Strained Situation Relieved.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 9.-The State De
partment has received from Minister
Conger confirmation of the Associated
Press dispatch from Pekin hat the Rus
slams ~re-entered New Chwang and then
retired.
The receipt of this advice late in the
day brought relief to a strained situation.
and it was decided by the department
that there was no longer occasion for
action, even automatically, at this stage.
Count CasSini, = the course of his talk
with Secretary Hay today very earnestly
impressed upon the Secretary his con
viction that the Russian government had
lived up to it's agreements, and in view
of these representations Secretary Hay
did not hesitate to dissipate the impress
sion that might nave existed that there
remained any need for diplomatic action
relative to Manchuria by the United
States, Great Britain and Japan. The
situation consequently 1apses back to
where it was after the original Russian
disclaimer. which followed the demands
| upon China two weeks ago, and for the
| present the attitude of the United States
government will be simply one Of OBJ
s~ervance.
Mr.. Takahiri, the Japanese Minister,
had a long interview with Secretary Hay
at the State Department today. He man
itcsted deep concern over the ~Manchu-
rian situation but declared that the lega-
ton was without official advice, in the
absence of which he did not care to
! discuss the matter. There is an lnti-
nation that Japan is disappointed at the
character of the support she has re-
ceived from other powers III to this time
in her efforts to stop Russia's alleged
aggression.
Mr.. Takahiro stated that there has
been nothing in the movement OF the
Japanee navy that could be Construed
as a menace to Russia.
"The movements of Japan's warshlps,'
said the Minister, ARE simply incidental
to our spring naval manOeuvers and are
devoid Of political significance as were
your naval m~anoeuvers in the Caribbean
last winter
Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassa-
dor, said to-day:
when the whole truth is hnown it
will be found that Russia has not VIC
lated a single pledge made u any ma
ton nor does she intend to do so. More
o> cr. whatever steps have been taken in
Manchuria are only in self-defGnse.'
The Count called in person at the De
rartment of State about noon to talk
over the Manchurian situation with Sec
rotary Hay and it is supposed that ne
conveyed assurances on the same lines
tc the Secretary.
