TO RECALL AMBASSADOR.
France Decides on Treatment of the
Vatican.

Paris, May 19.-The Council of Ministers
sembled in extraordinary session to-day to con-
slider the action 10 be taken relative to tbs
Popes protest against President Loubet's visit
to Rome. AS the version o. the protest for
warded TO the governments having relations
with the Vatican differs froI- tina. forwarded TO
the French GOVERNS mt It was decided frat to
ascertain definitely what representations the
Vatican made to the foreign governments. The
council also agreed the steps TO be taken
when the exact character of the foreign protest
is ascertained.
An official communication TO the press said
that the ministers were IN accord on the steps,
and later it becams known that NJ. Nisards
recall had been decided If the authenticity
OF the protest forwarded to the foreign powers
were established This practically assures the
ambassadors recall. as little doubt exists rela-
tive TO the protest forwarded to the powers.
The effect Of the ambassadors recall would be
TO interrupt diplomatic relations between
France and the Vatican. but It is stated in
official circles that il would not COM
plete severance Of diplomatic relations with
the Vatican, but the indefinite suspension of NJ
Nisard's service. Besides ambassador,
France has a minister at the Vatican, Count de
Navenne. who would continue to carry on for
NAL business.
Following the council of ministers. Foreign
Minister Delcasse telegraphed 10 NJ. Nisard
Pope 70 the foreign powers. It is expected that
his answer Will permit final action 10 be taken
his recall within day two.

CARS FAR EAST
ARMY TO NUMBER
AT LEAST 100000

PARIS, March 9.-The Matin this
morning publishes a dispatch from
Harbin, Manchuria, in which the cor
respondent says the weather is still
stormy at Port Arthur and the sea ex-
tremely rough. 1t is rumored from
Liaoyang, the correspondent contin-
ues, that a small house near the rail-

kin.
The railroad company has been
obliged to advance three months pay
to numerous employees. who otherwise
would not be able to feed their wives
and children. The price of foodstuffs
has been increased eXtravagantly and
the population is begging that scale
of prices be fixed officially.
The St Petersburg correspondent of
the Figaro has sent an interview with
General Sakharoff, Minister of War.
who, while refusing to give the number
of men concentrated in the Far East,
says the military authorities were well
pleased. There was no lack of troops,
he said, but the means of transporta-
quate, and he was about to send 120
locomotives and 1000 cars beyond the
lake in order to move the troops more
rapidly.
General Sakharoff declared that the
number of troops to go to Manchuria
had not yet been fixed; he would send
what was necessary, and he admitted
that the minimum would be 400 900.
The question of supplying the army
with provisions did not cause anxiety.
General Sakharoff said he had no
knowledge of any plan to withdraw
the troops from Port Arthur, leaving
the town to its own defenses. The cor
respondent of the Figaro, however, af-
firms positively that this plan was
elaborated in st. Petersburg, and adds
that it was first revealed by a man
whom nobody in Russia can disavow.

AUSTRIAN PREMIER
HOLDS PESSIMISTIC
VIEW OF FUTURE

VIENNA. March S.-The Reichsrath
reassembled to-day after a recess of
three months duration The address
of Dr. Won Koerber, the Austrian Pre-
mier, was extremely pessimistic. Here
tofore his speech opening the session
has been cheerful and hopeful, but to-
day he spoke as though he had lost all
hope and declared that the situation
verify presented a picture of a parlia-
mentary graveyard. The opinion of
the Premier seemed to be generally
shared.
Among other things the Premier said
that Austria Hungary regretted deeply
the Russo-Japanese war and would OBJ
serve the strictest neutrality during
the conflict. Referring to the Balkans,
he hoped that after the proposed re-
forms had been carried out there would
be no further agitation there.
The present session is tolerably GER
tain to prove as barren of results as
preceding sessions, the Czechs being
determined to continue their obstruc-
tion, which the Government seems
powerless to overcome.

BERLIN EXPLAINS
CZAR'S PROTEST
TO PEKING COURT

BERLIN, March 9.-The Tageblatt tt
this morning publishes a statement
regarding the motives of Russia in
protesting against the concentration
of Chinese troops on the Manchurian
frontier and intimates that it originat-
ed with the Russian embassy in Ber-
lin.
The communication says that the
assumption that Russia was Influenced
by political motives, such as cherish
ing designs on Chinese territory, in
making this protest, is erroneous. Her
motives were purely military. The
presence of Chinese troops on the
Manchurian border might result in
unpleasant occurrences. The ST. Pet
ersburg Government is fully convinced
that China honestly intends to main
tain a strict neutrality. but this con-
centration of troops would endanger
such neutrality. The Peking Govern
ment is itself not sure of its troops.

the home of Jacob Meyer at Ills Turk
street Monday night. The neighbor-
hood for time was in a state of great
excitement. The police were sum-
moned. but failed to find the burglars.
The Meyer family went to a party
and left the little girl at home. The
child sat in the front room with the
gas out and looked into the street. She
noticed two men watching the house
from the opposite side of the street.
but thought nothing Of it. A few min
utes later she went to a corner gro
cery to purchase some candy. When
she returned she noticed that the men
were gone. On entering the house she
heard the burglars at work in the base
ment. She did not scream, but quietly
telephoned to Mrs. Meyer, telling her
there were burglars in the house
Mrs. Meyer and her sons, Julius and
Herman, Immediately rushed home.
The police were telephoned for Julius
Meyer seized a revolver and stood at
an upstairs back window, waiting for
the burglars to appear.
Mrs. Meyer began screaming and a
police whistle was blown. These noises
brought Charles Henley, a musician, to
the house. He went bravely in search
of the burglar in the cellar, though un-
armed. He found no one.
The police arrived soon. and a search
of the place by them failed to reveal
the burglars.
Five minutes after the police had
gone Henley was standing in front Of
the house when one of the much
sought burglars rushed from the base
ment of the place. and. almost knock
ing the startled Henley over. rushed
down Laguna street. His pal was seen
to emerge from Jefferson Park and
join him. The two were pursued by
Henley. but escaped.
The brave action of the little girl was
highly commended. The failure of the
police to find the hiding man is mys-
terry.

Five companies Of the Ohio National

During the afternoon threats were
heard that the levee. the negro sec

AS a result Of this deliberation a tel

asking for six companies OF militia and
requesting that the local companies
be stationed in their armories. In re-
spOnse to this the Mayor received a
