U. s. TO ACT VIGOROUSLY
State Department Has Its Patience
Taxed bY Russia's Action.


Washington, May 9.-The state de-
partment has received official con-
flrmation from its agents in China Of
the increase of the Russian garrison
in New Chwang, Manchuria, and there
is reason to believe, If President
Roosevelt approves. that it is prepar-
ing TO take vigorous steps in the mat
ter. Secretary Hay is in communica-
tion with President Roosevelt in Cali
fornia. and upon the latter's decision
the secretary's course will depend.
II Is stated that the department has
had its patience taxed by the course
of events in Manchuria, and that 1t
now contemplates a more radical step
than anywhich has heretofore marked
the negotiations between the powers
on this subject The proposed step
contemplates Joint action by Japan,
England and the United States. Pre-
ceding negotiations have been ham
pered by the inability of the United
States to act jointly with other ma
tions without violating its traditions,
but it is now hinted that some plan
of cooperation with with England and
Japan may be devised which will have
the effect of convincing the Russian
government of the determination of
three nations TO insist upon Russia S
evacuation of Manchuria, while not
actually committing the United States
TO a formal alliance. This program
Is subject to the approval of the pres.
ident II it is not looked upon with
favor by him, the state department
may fall back upon its former method
of individual representation to Russia
and ask another explanation of the
happenings in Manchuria-

NEW ELECTRIC
LIGHT COMPANY
Will Build Power House at
Roseville in Mill Greek
Hundred
WILL RUN BY WATER POWER
Light Will Be Furnished to Mill Greek
Hundred Residents and People Of
That Section Of Chester County,
Pa.

The White Clay Greek Supply Com
pany. of Avondale. Pa. producers OF
electric light and power, is negotiating
to purchase the water rights at Rose
vile. situated in Mill Creek hundred,
about one mile from Newark. The
company will erect modern plant
there, and first-class machinery for
producing electricity will be installed
The same company has a plant in
operation at Tweed's Mills. on White
Clay creek, a short distance north Of
Newark. which is also operated by
water power. This plant was started
last fall and furnishes electricity and
power for Newark, Avondale. Landen-
berg. Hoclkessin and other small towns
in that vicinity. The business i'm the
company has been increasing rapidly
ever since il first started. and now the
demand is almost beyond its present
capacity. which makes IL necessary
that another plant be put in operation
to help out the one at Tweed's Mill.
The water rights at Roseville are
owned by Philadelphia people. There
is excellent water power, with about
fifteen feet fall, and there is always an
ample supply Of water. This power has
been neglected since the Roseville Cot
ton factory burned down, which was
about thirty years ago.
The dam at Roseville, through ne
glect. has been entirely washed away
by the floods during the past thirty
years which makes It necessary to put
i'm an entire new dam, which will prob
ably be Of concrete. The company will
use both the turbine and water wheels
I'm the new mill. It is likely the work
will be started on this plant in a short
time.
In addition to electric light and
power, the White Clay Creek Supply
/ Company also produces ground flint
and feldspar S. +. Nivin, OF Landen-
berg. is president and e. W. Meloney
of Avandale. vice. president OF the
company. The directors, in addition tc
Mr. Nivin and Mr.. Meloney, are Israel
w. Marshall who is connected with the
American Snuff Company, at Yorkyn
c. p Cooper, Henry B. Pusey, Joseph
Pyle. Joshua Thomas. Theodore PEN

RAILROAD VICTIM
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED
Relatives May Demand That
Authorities Make Full In
vestigation of Death

Deputy Coroner Kilmer this morn
ing received a telegram from Roches-
ter. NY, from the mother OF James
Snyder asking for more details con-
.cerning the death Of her son. Snyders
mangIed body was found along the
Pennsylvania railroad tracks at Holly
Oak on Thursday evening. That the
dead mans pockets were turned inside
out when the body was admitted to the
morgue rs true.
The question is, who turned them
out. Deputy Coroner dSilmer says that
IN the pulling and hauling of the corpse
the pockets may have been pulled out.
That such a thing could hay happened
Is hardly likely. but even admitting
that he could have been accidentally
killed, the affair should have been in
vestlgated.
The mother or the deceased young
man in her communication said that her
son had a scar upon the head and a
front tooth missing. These marks were
found upon the dead man, and the fact
| telegraphed to Mrs. Snyder. IL is like
iy that some member of tho unfortunate
man will come here and claim the
body. II is also probable that the fam
lily will demand more of an inyestiga-
ton than has so far been given the
case.

GREAT LIGHT FOR CIRCUS
The Nernst System Of Lighting Used
Exclusively.

The Ncrnst lamp or NoInst system
.of lighting. is the latest invention I'm
electrical science. Seventy-iive Nernst
lamps have an Illuminating capacity
equal to that Of two hundred arc
lights. The term "Nernst' has been
officially recognized and adopted by the
United States Patent Office IN contra
distinction to the terms "arc' and
vacuum incandescent." The Nernst
light is not an incandescent light, but
bmfns in the open air and Is the closest
imitation OF sunlight possible The
delicate tints of color are the same IN
this light as in daylight, showing all
the rare beauties Of the exquisite and
multicOlored costumes worn in the
show The electric energy is gener-
ated by silent and sure vapor engines,
doing AWAY with the sight and sound
of steam. This light is oe OF the in
Vulnerable exclusive features OF the
Barnum g. Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth. BY the way, another NEW and
greatly to be commended innovation
with these shows is the foot rest which
is now attached TO every seat Visitors
may sit In comfort now and see the
wonderful performances without being
kicked I'm the back by someone behind
them. Mr.. Bailey is TO be congratu-
lated for the consideration shown his
patrons In both these novel improve

Connilf-to h...,;e.,, c-s.t.


to Retain Manehuria-Tryino to
coneiliate American Opinion.
Peking, May 9.-The Russians, it is
announced, have reoccupied Now
Chwang, the Lao river port, with a
large force, and have also put a strong
garrison in the forts at the mouth of
the Lao river. They are further re-
ported to be making extensive warlike
preparations. as If in anticipation Of
hostiljties, all through the New
Chwang territory and Manchuria.
The news of Russian activity. which
comes from most trustworthy
source. adds that on their return to
New Chwang the Russian troops
brought with them several large guns.
A large force has been ordered to re-
occupy Tien Chwang-Tai. The Rus
SLAMS have $4,000 troops between the
mouth of the Lao river and Port Ar.
thur.
The Russians are reported to be
constructing forts on the hills near
Liao-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.
Russia's coup has caused profound
surprise here, as recent developments
had led to the expectation that Russia
would compromise her demands, since
they had been revealed to the powers
The latest manoeuvre is interpreted
as being intended as a reply to China's
refusal to grant Russia's demands, &c
the protests of the powers, and as q
declaration that she is ready TO fighi
in order to maintain possession o
Manchuria. It is considered signid
cant that the Russian army reoccupieC
certain strategical posts at just about
the time naval reinforcements were
reaching the Gulf of Pc Chi Ii. The
temporary withdrawal of the Russian
troops from New Chwang is believed
TO have been a feint TO evert suspicion
from the contemplated policy until the
Russian squadron was within usefu
distance. 1t has been reported recent
ly that Russia was accumulating greai
stores of provisions and war materials
It is impossible to confirm these re
ports. but it is known that the Rus
sian military authorities have beer
buying many horses All the avail
able information. indicates that Rus
sia is preparing to increase and moi
decrease her forces in Manchuria.
It is stated that Russian influence
is being exerted to conciliate Ameri
can opinion and that appeals are be
ing made to the traditional friendship
of the two nations, with the argumen
that Russian development of Man
churia will open a great field fo
American commerce. while the opposi
tion of the United States to Russiai
plans might provoke retaliation
against American trade.
