LATEST MANCHURIAN
BREEZE Is EXHAUSTED
Russian Occupation of New Chwang
Only Temporary and All Is Ex-
planned.

PEKIN, May 9.-The official at New
Chwang who sent yesterdays news of
Russia's alleged action at New ChWang
and elsewhere in Manchuria, tele-
graphs today that the occupation of
the forts at the mouth of the Lao
river was temporary and that the Rus
slams have now Withdrawn.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 9.-The
foreign office here strongly deprecates
the excitement concerning Manchurgl
and it believes mischief makers are
responsible for the reports and says
the arrival Of troops at New ChwaIig
was due to the retirement of troops
from Mukden province, southwark, in
stead of northWard. The troops depart
by sea. The other alleged Warlike
preparations Of Russia are ridiculed.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 9.-The
state department has received from
Minister Conger confirmation Of the
report from Pekin that the Russians
entered New Chwang and then retired.
This brought relief to a strained situ-
alton and it was decided by the de-
partment that there was no longer Oc-
casiOn for action, even automatically,
at this stage. Count Cassini, in his
talk with Secretary Hay today, very
earnestly impressed upon the secretary
his conviction that the Russian gov
ernmeEt had lived up to it's agree

Among the Labor Unions

and one optimistic editor, who can see
sermons in stones and lessons in run
ming brooks, says that one good will be
accomplished in ridding the Windy
City of it's superfluity of rats. Another
equally enthusiastic and withal inven-
tive newspaper man suggests that the
hotel towels be rolled and twisted up
and used as baseball bats before they
become too stiff and fall on the floor
and break.
The latest issue of the Minnesota
Union Advocate contains the following
editorial: Nothing in the history of
unionfsm in st. Paul better indicates
it's phenomenal growth than the gains
made by Musicians Union No. 80 dur
ing the twelve months ending May 1.
This organization, which a year ago
had sixty-three members on it's roster,
checked up this week and found on it's
books 248 members in good standing.
Every musician in the city is now a
union man.

LEE CONFESSES THAT
HE WAS A BOODLER
Former Lieutenant Governor Distrib-
uted $4,000 and Kept $500.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. May 9.-Former
Lieut.. Gov. Lees statement detailing
his knowledge of boodling in the legis-
lature was presented to Circuit AtSSor-
ney Folk today. Several startling as
sertions are made in the paper. but
throughout the greater part of it the
former lieutenant adopts a moralizing
tone. In q general way he charges
several men with being corruptionists
The statement is prefaced with this
expression: CT do not ask, nor do I
expect sympathy for any mistake may
have made" In detailing his connec-
tion with alum baking powder legisla-
tion, the former lieutenant governor
says he was given $4,000 to distribute
among seven senators. OF this amount
he retained $500. he said. Mr.. Lee
said his direct knowledge Of boodling
in the general assembly related to the
legislative session of 1901 entirely, and
that only In connection with baking
powder measures.
The Saint Paul globe., 1903-05-10

In one month the State Federation of
Labor convention will open in Little
Falls, Mimi, at which representatives
of 10000 union men and women OF the
state will be present.
Great speculation is rife among the
unions of the Twin Cities as to who
will bear off the laurels Of the preSi-
Dental victory this year. For some
time Minneapolis has held the balance
of power in the matter of convention
voting and last year Neary had no
trouble in coping the plum. But
things have taken a turn. This year,
and quite recently, Mr.. Neary was
made the recipient of nice little job
at the hands of the new mayor of the
Flour City, which, of course, precludes
all chance of his running for the Of
flee again. That st. Paul may have
the honor this year will be the trend
of all the voting done at the conven-
ton by the representatives of 5000
st. Paul union men and women.
OF course, Cornelius Quincy, of the
Minnesota Union Advocate, will be
voted by the local delegates the pub
Usher of the official union paper Of the
state. Last year in this respect Min
neapolis held just one-half the num-
Der of votes contained in the State-81.
When the polls were counted S5 show
ed to the credit of the Minneapolis
DuDIISher. AItnOuSn not SPOKEN 10 OH
the subject, it is said that Quincy
may consider the proposition of trying
for the official organ once more at Lit
tie Falls.
The Iron Molders' ball held last
light in Federation hall was a dis
tinct success. About 200 were present.
The Minneapolis Electrical Workers
are out on strike to the number of
about thirty men. Trouble over work.
ing with nonunion men was the cause
of the disorder.
The Meat Cutters union has a visit
ing committee of two engaged among
the various bodies delivering short
talks explanatory of the aims and OBJ

the different unions to demand to be

as each customer buys.

STREET RAILWAY PLAN
AGITATES SALTWATER
Division of Sentiment on the Abandonment
of WIkin Street Line.

The question of abandoning the Wilkin
street car line in this city in order to
secure an extension of the local lines to
South Saltwater is receiving serious con-
sideration from the people and sentiment
is divided. Many are in favor of aban-
doning the line, while others residing on
the north hill say they will never con-
sent to the proposition. The argument
advanced by those favoring the PROPOSE
tion is that a great many more people
would be accommodated by the South
Saltwater extension than by the Wilkin
street line
