PEKIN, May S.-The Russians, 1t is
announced, have reoccupied New Chwang
with large force. and have also put
garrisons in the forts at the mouth OF
the Lao River. They are further re-
ported to be making extensive warlike
preparations.
The news Of Russian activity, which
comes from n most trustworthy source
at New Chwang. adds that on their re-
turn TO New Chwang the Russian troops
brought with them several large guns A
large force has been ordered to reoccupy
Tien Chwang Tai. The Russians have
l4OO troops between the mouth OF the
Lao River and Port Arthur.
The Russians are reported to be con-
atructing forts on the hills near Lao
Iung. commanding the road between
there and tho Ynlu River, and they have
arranged to have large quantity OF
provisions delivered at New Chwang.
e A dispatch from an Official at New

PROFOUND SURPRISE.
Russia $ coupe has caused. prot foEnds sur-
prise here. as recent developments had
led to the expectation that Russia would
compromise her demands since they had
been revealed 10 the powers. Inc !ateSt
manoeuyre Is looked upon as being
caused by Chinas refusal to grant the
demands OF Russia, and as declaring that
she Is ready to fight to maintain posses-
sion OF Manchuria.
II is considered as significant that the
Russian troops reoccupied certain
strategic points just about the time the
Russian squadron reaching the Gulf Of

troops to New Chwang is believed to be
a eeint until the Russian squadron was
within useful distance.
II has been reported recently that Rus
sia was accumulatng great stores OF
provisions and war materials. 1t Is i'm
possible to confirm these reports; but It
ia known that the Russian military au-
thorities have been buying many horses.
All the available information indicates
that Russia is preparing to Increase and
not decrease her force in Manchurfa.
The Chinese officials describe the Dow
ager Empress as being greatly distressed
and as fearing that the Russian agrees

THE:VoTEWAs UNANIMOUS
The New Scale is to Go Into Effect in
Ieo4-The Saloon Men, as aRuIe,
Seem to Favor the
Scheme.
THE,VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS

After discussing the matter thoroughly.
the Committee on Finance yesterday at
ternoon recommended the adoption and
enactment Of an ordinance next year.
fixing the LIQUOR license tax at $3.50. the
wholesale and retail dealers to be rated
the same. It Is understood the vote on
this all important question was practi-
cally unanimous, and the ordinance Will
go to the Board OF Aldermen next Tuesday
night, when it will doubtless be passed.
The meeting of the Finance Committee
Yesterday was called especially for the
purpose of considering the liquor license
question, an ordinance regulating the
fee to be- imposed by the city having
been introduced at the last regular meet-
ing OF the Common Council. The paper
was referred to tho above mentioned
body with authority to report to either
body
PROPOSED TWO SCALES.
Tho original ordinance proposed two
scales--a license OF $3.50 per annum FOR,
retail dealers in malt or spirituous liquors
and one of $40 year upon all Whole-
sale merchants. 1t was referred with
out debate. as consequence OF whlcn
1t Is impossible to predict with any de-
gree of certainty how the members LOOK
upon the scheme.
While the meeting of the Finance Com.
mtttee yesterday was executive as usual,
1t Ia known that the measure received
careful attention, being considered and
debated In all OF Its phases. Councilman
Crensllaw, patron of the ordnance was
heartily In favor of Its recommendation
without being altered but he was almost
nlone In this view. A number Of other
members opposed assessing the wholesale
dealers Sl5O more per annum than retail
ers, and several substitutes for this OBJ
1ectionable feature were suggested. They
were withdrawn, however, as none OF
them were pressed to q vote.
PRACTICALLY UNANIMOUS.
Finally. 1t was decided to recommend
the ordinance for adoption. after elim,-
mating that section imposing an addition
al tax upon wholesale dealers and the
vote on this proposition was practically
unanimous
In the event the Council adopts the
recommendation of the Finance Commit
tee and the ordinance eventually becomes
n law, ii will not become operative before
1901 The early part of the proposition
was prompted by the huge fight that Is
usually provoked late In the year by
an effort to increase the license taxa

and saloon dealers were seen last night,

It's forty-eighth annual session at First
Baptist Church, this morning, at 10
o'clock.
In the early hours OF the session there
were Indications OF a storm that might
bring on debate not to say a wrangle to
lengthen the session. Mississippi divine

Of electing officers was undemocratic and

plan insisted on a tedious ballot, which

tion to red flag in a bovine pen and
the Mississippi divine had a strong fol-
lowing in the convention. However, the
conservatives were IL large majority, and
the demand for q ballot on each officer
was not sustained and at least day
precious time was saved.
GOVERNOR WAS SHREWD.
When the election OF the four vice
presidents was being had another threat
ened tr6uble was deftly warded off. Two
men were nominated from Georgia. ex-
Mayor Hillyer. of Atlanta, and Gov
ernor J. NJ Terrell. The former Is q pro-
nounced prohibidonist. while the Gov
ernor has been straddling the liquor
fence, particularly in the campaign for
tha Democratic Nomination for Governor
which straddlng arrayed against him
the strict prohibition element In the par
ty.
The nomination OF these two Geor-
CLANS arrayed the forces on prohibition
lines, for prohibitlonists. never forget. and
as a matter OF fact the Governor would
have been beaten. He saw the situation
and in a most graceful little speech re-
fused to let his name go before the con-
ycntion for vice-president.
These troubled waters being safely SAIL
ed through. the convention consumed
less than an hours time In organizing
and elect!ng officers.

LONDON, May S.-The announcement
from Pekln that the Russians have ''re-
occupied" New Chwang must not be un-
derstood as implying that they ever fully
eyacuted the place. The news Is taken
here to mean that the town has been
ireoccupied by the force, tbs withdrawal
OF which was announced In April, when
the Russians said that all the troops ex-
cept tff5 men necessary for the police
guard had been removed.
Che Chinese Ambassador here, In an
interview. is quoted as saying he has
not received official confirmation of the
Russian action at New Chwang. If true,
he added. 1t means that Russia Will
eventually OCCUPY the whole province,
