RUSSIA'S WARLIKE ACTS.
Continuation Of Communicating Of
Supplies in Manchuria,

LONDON, July s.-The Standards corre-
spondent at Tientsin says that the Chinese
are complaining bitterly that the Russians
are continuing to commander fodder,
mules and carts beyond the great wall.
The Russian troops encamped at Lang
Hen-Kwang have Communicated eighty
carts to convey supplies of wheat to their
forces on the Yalu.
Advices received at Yokohama from Seoul,
Corea. say the Russians are laying tele-
graphic cable from An-Tung to Yongam-
Pho, across the Yalu river
The Japanese newspapers severely COM
ment on the responsibility for the cabinet
crisis arising at such a critical moment,
and say that If the premier. Viscount Kat
suna persists in retiring the Marquis Ito.
whom the emperor received in audience
yesterday. will form new ministry.
A dispatch from Picking yesterday says:
The representatives of the United States,
Great Britain and Japan are preserving in
dependent action regarding Manchurta. and
are awaiting the outcome of the conference
of the Russian officials at Port Arthur, and
instructions from their respective govern
ments. Only the japanese minister is occa-
sionally adjuring Prince Ching, president OF
the foreign office, to avoid making secret
concessions to Russia, which are possible.
and which only vigilance will prevent. on
account of the thrones weakness and
Prince Ching's pliability.
Japan's initial action in her formal de-
mand at Shanghai for the payment Of the
indemnity deficiency on gold basis, on the
occasion of the semi-annual reckoning July
l. is assignable to the strict nature of the
present Chinese-Japanese relations. The
demand may be expected to be initiated by
the other powers when a favorable oppor-
tunity arises.
The return of the Russian minister. NJ.
Lesser, to Picking, after his visit to Port
Arthur, has been postponed for several
days.
Chinese officials Removed.
A dispatch from Picking yesterday says:
On the recommendation of Tsen Chun
Hsuan, the new viceroy of the provinces
of Kwan-Tung and Kwang-Si, an edict was
issued today-cashiering all the high officials
.. in Kwang-Si, including the governor, on &C
count of corruption, incapacity and con-
nivance with the rebellion. which has been
constant for the past year, provoking u
threat on the part Of the French to In
terfere.
Gen. Su and another general have been
dismissed and one taotai has been exfled
from the province with hard labor because
of having plundered the people.
Tsen Chun Hsuan, whom the throne or
ders to organize a militia to defend the
province, is distributing large famine re-
lief which 1t is expected will be unneces-
sary when the present crops have been
harvested.

will then begin to grade down the hills by

Active Work to Begin at Once.


1t is estimated that it will be necessary,
in order to reduce the surface Of the SUBJ
division so that 1t will be available for
building purposes. that at least 100000
cubic yards of earth will have to be re-
moved. In order to accomplish this within
the space of time which the new owners
have fixed. 1t will be necessary to begin
active work at once. as 1t is the intention
to have the property on the market by the
10Th of September. The restriction In re-
gard to building, which stipulates that no
house costing less than s.. 600 shall be erect
ed on this property Is to be made a part
of each deed, and as this same restriction
has been adopted by the Chevy Chase Land
Company the result will be that superior
class of improvements will be made
throughout this region.
1t is an interesting fact in this connection
that the sale just made is practically the
first made by the company of It's extensive
holdings of property in this vicinity. But
two subdivisions have been made and these
were made by the company. One Is Chevy
Chase. which is in Maryland just north of
the District line. one of the handsomest
suburbs in this vicinity, and the other is
Fernwood, recently established on the east
side of Connecticut avenue short distance
north of this new purchase.
Improvements Contemplated.
It is understood to be the intention of the
Chevy Chase Land Company to enter ac-
lively into a system of improvements of
their property which will result in the ex-
penditure of large sums of money in the
near future. A beginning is to be made
by grading the land on each side of Con-
necticut avenue from the southern limit OF
their holdings, which is just north of the
Klingle road far north as the Pierce
Mill road. 1t is stated that this work OF
grading will extend back on each side OF
Connecticut avenue to the depth Of about
three blocks.
A portion of this property which lies or
the west side of Connecticut avenue, q
short distance north of the Robinson-Trim-
mer purchase. was bought short time age
by the government as a site for the bu-
reau of standards, and a handsome building
is now being erected for the use of thai
important government office. Still further
| to the north on the west side Of Connect.
| cut avenue is the site which has beer
| spoken Of for the proposed general army
| hospital.
| This is not the first venture Of Messrs
| Robinson and Trimmer in enterprises Of
| this sort In this locality as they are the
| owners Of North Columbia Heights which
| has also been under the management Of
| Mr.. Gordon Their success in the handlins
| of this property is shown by the fact thai
