Russian Aggression in China.

London, May S.-A dispatch from
Peking today indicates that Russia is
again taking an aggressive attitude in
the kingdom. 1t is stated that Nieuch-
wang has been reoccupied by large
force of the Cars soldiers and that the
Russians have garrisoned the forts at the
mouth of the Lao. 1t is also reported
that the Russians are making extensive
warlike preparations.
Berlin, May S.-An interview with
NJ. Ambro, Austrian Minister to Toxic,
is published here today, in which the
Minister is quoted as saying: off Rus
STA obtains Manchuria permanently she
will be the richest power in the world.
Manchuria contains sufficient coal TO
supply the whole world for many
centuries" NJ. Ambro, however, does
not believe that the Cars government
will obtain the disputed territory. He
is quoted as saying that America is like
" to obtain commercial predominance
in China.
London, May S.-Tchang-La- Yen,
Chinese Ambassador to England, when
interviewed. by your correspondent re-
garding the report that Russia had re-
occupied. Nieuchwang, said; off the
advices that Russia has occupied
Nieuchwang are true, they come the
nearest to foreshadowing war than any
news yet received from the Far East.
1t is evident that coup d etat has been
accomplished, which has for its ultimate
object the complete RussOfcation of
Manchuria, and gives the lie to Russia
assurances that she has no designs on
Mahchuria. China is now so pros
trated that she will not offer any resist
ance to the Car, but there is no doubt
that the Pekin government will appeal
to America, England and Japan. In
my opinion, these powers have so much
at stake, that they must compel the
evacuation of Nieuchwang even at the
cost of hostilities.

NINE MEN KILLED.

Nine men were killed and five others
injured. three of them fatally, late
Wednesday evening by a slide of rock
in the east end of Tunnel No 2, at
Eggleston Springs, Giles county, on the
Norfolk and Western Railroad. Rail
road contractors were engaged in double
tracking the tunnel at the point named,
and when the tunneling force had re-
moved the earth and stone for the rail-
road tracks at the point where the
calamity occurred a huge slice of solid
stone gave way on the mountain side
and came down at an angle Of about 40
degrees, striking the gang of laborers at
work fairly and crushing the life out OF
nine men. This strata of solid rock was
connected only by clay seams, and when
the foundation was removed the strata,
some so feet long, fell without warning,
catching the men in death trap. One
man was in niche of the tunnel way
and was only grazed on the face and
head, escaping with slight injuries. He
was removed without great difficulty.
A second man, who stood on the outer
edge of the slide, was only slightly hurt,
but three others were more unfortunate
and were injured so badly that it is
feared that they will die. The bodies
of the nine men, (some Of them are white)
are still under the mountain slide. A
wrecking car and derrick were taken
out from Radford, but thus far they have
been of no avail. There is no likelihood
that the bodies can be recovered soon.
as the rock will have to be dynamited
and removed bit by bit. This is con-
sidered dangerous, as the length of the
strata cannot be ascertained, and there
is imminent danger of a second crash as
soon as the base is removed and con-
sequent loss OF other lives.

Osceola, Mo-, May S.-The judges Of
the st. Louis county court are holding
open court in the court house here the

ly to be the last for some time, too
The judges have been in contempt of the
Federal court for refusing to levy a tax
to pay over 81 900, 600 bonds for a rail-
road which was never built. They
have held court in the brush to avoid
deputy marshals and whenever one of
the judges was caught lie was thrown
into Jail for the balance of his term, for
contempt of court. Now, the first time
since the rebellion began, there is an en-
tirely new court with no holders and
none of the judges are as yetin contempt.

out making the levy, they will have to
take to the brush as their predecessors
have
