WHITES AGAINST BLACKS
Cadets Were Sustained in Their Re-
Msal to March Behind a
Colored Corps

Pekin, special. - All doubt that
Manchuria will be open to foreigners
were dispelled yesterday when M.
flancon, the Russian charge ~d'affaires,
issued an official notice that every
part Of the province is open to foreign
travel and that passports are no long
er necessary. This announcement
created something of a sensation in
official circles, as it had been believed
that the Russians intended to exclude
all but their countrymen from certain
portions of the province. This atti-
tude gives America, British, and other
foreign merchants an opportunity to
establish themselves in the different
M%anchurian cities.
There were 500 Russian soldiers at
New Chwang, who were removed
about the date fixed for the exacua-
ton, and the same number returned
to New Chwang. 1t appears that the
Russian force which returned to the
Lao forts merely used the forts as
temporary resting places while jour
neying southwark to their station on
the peninsula.
The withdrawal of the Russian
troops to the railway in Manchuria,
in accordance with the evacuation
agreement made a year ago, has been
more complete than was at first sup
posed. This movement has reduced
the number of troops in the vicinity
of New Chwang to the previous foot
ing. There has been a complete re-
sumption of civil administration in
| New Chwang and there is much mu-
nicipal activity.
There are indications at present
that the negotiations with China will
be prolonged. The existence OF a
large military force east OF Lao Yang
was persistently denied by the Rus
slams. but was admitted when verified
by the English consul. 1t is reported
that the Russian flag is still floating
over the Lao forts, which are being
used by passing troops.
State Department Treasured.
Washington, D. c., May 19.-After
careful inquiry the state department
has become convinced that the report
that New Chwang and the Chinese
forts defending it had been reoccupied
by the Russians was erroneous. Ac'
cording to the departments informa
ton, nothing to which this or any 9th
er government could properly take eX
ception was done at New Chwang by
the Russian authorities after the mill
tary evacuation OF the place by the
cars soldiers.

Speaking of the complaint of the en-

responsible for the greatest griey-

they suffer, namely, government by

SHOULD take a position squarely that
they are amenable to law, prepared
to take the consequences if they tran

FOREIGNERS MAY
ENTER MANCHURA

troduced in the assembly yesterday
by Premier Irvine, when parliament
met to consider the situation. The
premier moved the second reading of
the bill. 1t is not retrospective and
will not remain in force after the ter
mination Of the strike.
1t provides that an employee leaving
his work without giving four nights
notice is to be assumed to have joined
the strike and will incur the penalty
of $500 fine or a years Imprisonment,
with loss Of pension, and will be in
eligible in the future for government
employ.
The bill also forbids interference
with employees, the collection of strike
funds, or encouraging the strike in
any manner, and empowers the police
to destroy documents encouraging the
strike. Printers of such documents
are declared offenders against the law,
and all meetings are unlawful, at
which four strikers are present. All
persons refusing to dispense are liza
BILE to arrest without warrants, and
the police are empowered to forcibly
enter meetings.
An amendment expressing regret at
the strike and promising that parlia-
ment would consider the grievances
of the railroad men If they return to
work was defeated by So to 30 votes.
Premier Irvine made a speech on
the subject of the strike. He said the
country faced a long meditated revolt
against established authority. The
issue concerned every country. The
strike had thrown the state into con.
fusion and it would be a fight to a
finish.

government of law and not of men"
President Eliot of Harvard said if
trades unions wanted incorporation
there seemed to be no objection, and
if they did not want it, there was none.
There was however, an objection to
the imposition of the money penalty,
and this whole talk Of Incorporating
trades unions was fairly attributable
to a desire to get at them and impose
fines or collect damages. at must be
noted" said Elliot, that the activities
of trades unions involve only moral,
not legal responsibilities. The posi-
tions of unions is virtually hat of O.
600, 900 men who systematically per-
NIT moral and physical violence in the
attainment of their ends in the limi-
tation Of output, other than which
there is no more corrupting or degrad-
ing influence. Laborers cannot gain
their aims in a labor struggle without
permitting violence, but this is a moral
question and not n of damages. To
attempt to get at them vindictively by
inducing or compelling incorporation
and making them financially liable is
not at all the way to settle the prob
lem"

DETAILS OF THE
JEWISH MASSACRE

The Jews have in the course Of
years acquired not only control Of
trade but of employment in all the
principal towns. After much street
violence against the Jews and scenes
Of bloodshed, they retaliated by with
holding both employment and trade, as
well rs credit.
A letter received in a Jewish phil
anthropic center in London from the
leading Jews of Kishineff states that
shortly after the recent outrages the
presidents of the workmen's guides,
which were organized on the old pa
ternal lines, complained to the govern
or of Kishineff that the Jews refused to
.reinstate the workmen. The governor
t%hereupon called the Jews together
and told them in a few words that liz
!heir W interest they had better re-
instate the workmen, which they were
averse to doing.
The Jewish authorities in London
construe the action of the governor as
a direct threat, and they fear that fur
Their troubles are imminent.
Police Do Not Interfere.
THE police and soldiers stand with
their hands behind their backs and do
not attempt to interfere, beyond tell
ing the mob which are Jewish and
which Christian houses The police
also prevented the Jews from helping
each other.
"One Jewish carman brought a muir
dered Jew to the hospital. The car
man was carried thither himself twen-
ty minutes later with his skull split
open.
This is only n instance tending
to show the careful organization Of the
affair, which was due principally to
the anti-Semitic newspaper, Bessara-
bitz. Another evidence of the organi-
cation was the fact that many of the
participants in the atrocities wore tho
DISTINGUISHED red smocks of the soldiers
and police and stole whatever they
could lay their hands on.
There were many students among
the offenders, including n notorious
law student of the name of Somigra-

SPIRITS LOSE IN COURT.
London Tribunal Cancels the Famous
Cavendish Deed.

London, May 19.-The chancery
court ordered the cancellation of the
deed by which H. S. H. C~avendish,
the explorer, provided that his prop
erty should go to Mrs. Strut, wife of
Major c. H. Strut, and her children,
to the exclusion of the plaintiffs own
wife, who was Isabel Jay, formerly
leading lady of the Savoy theater.
Mr.. Cavendish in his appeal to the
chancery court charged Major Strut
and Mrs. Strut with influencing him,
through table-turning, and claimed
that Mrs. Strut obtained the deed by
pretending to be the ghost of his,
the plaintiffs mother, and by repre-
senting the latter as speaking from
heaven and advising him to so dis
pose Of his property.

"A carpenter was surprised at his

with a pocket knife.
"a woman, after trying to defend
her children, was thrown upon the

and horsehair from her bed was
stuffed into her body.
Small children were flung out OF
