RUssIA's DEMAND REJECTED.
Prince Chung Returned Document to
Russia's Representative.

A dispatch from Picking yesterday says:
According to the Chinese story, when
Prince Ching. the grand secretary. received
the Russian demands, he returned the docu-
ment setting them forth to NJ. Plancon,
Russian charge d'affaires, and refused to
consider them. w. B. Townley, first secre-
tary Of the British legation, and Ouchida
Yusuya, the Japanese minister counseled
Prince Ching to remain firm and to insist
upon the restoration of Manchuria accord
ing to agreement. which stipulates that the
Chinese government shall be replaced in
Manchuria in all respects as it was before
the war. The United States has not yet
taken formal action in the premises.
Japan is more strongly opposed than any
other power to Russia's aggression, but
1t is not believed here that she will go to
the length of war.
The policy of Russian ambassadors
abroad and of ST. Petersburg of fostering
reports that China was on the eve of in
time past with considerable interest as at
tempts to create the impression that Russia
was justified in holding Manchuria.
United States Minister Conger has been
annoyed by the repeated newspaper reports
that he has represented to Washington that
he expected an uprising and an attack upon
the legations. All his reports have been of
q directly opposite tenor. He has sent
nothing that could possibly be construed in
an alarmiSt tone.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL TREASURES.
Oldest Garment Ever Discovered an6
Rare Find Of Roman Coins,

The Washington Society of the Archaeo-
logical Institute of America held its final
regular meeting last evening at the resi-
dence of Gen. and Mrs John B. Henderson.
1901 Florida avenue. The papers of the
evening were presented by two members of
the local society.
Professor Henry Hyvernat of the Catholic
University of America told of an interesting
collection of Byzantine articles Of clothing
recently discovered in two burying grounds
of Egypt The most recent of those relics
was anterior to the tenth century of our
era, and several pieces can be ascribed to
the fourth or even to the third century, A.
D., the oldest garments that have come
down to this age. The most surprising rev.
citation Of these Egyptian finds. the speaker
stated, is the fact that the decoration which
was lavished on them was commonly not
wrought in any OF the stitches that are
known as embroidery. but in tapestry The
body of the garment was generally I'M
bleached linen. The wool in the most an
cient specimens was almost exclusively
purple Polychrome patterns made their
appearance in the sixth century. The colors
