Seventh. Contraband of war is to
consist of such articles as are mem

Car Feb. 2S, defining contraband of
war"
A list of contraband goods then fol-
lows. This list includes beans and bean
cakes and other foodstuffs. The inter-
ference with this traffic here, together
with the operation of Article 5 re-
terred to above, will stop New
Chwangs trade.
Five ships which arrived outside to-
day and numerous others due will be
unable to ship cargoes.
The opinion of leading foreign resi-
dents and officials is that, although the
rights of neutrals remain unaltered
by treaty, Russia assumes the power
to annul these rights, also consular
jurisdiction and exterritoriality regard
ing the position of foreign consuls un-
tenable.
In some quarters the order is re-
garded as an apparent challenge to
neutral Powers, especially to China, on
account of the appropriation of her
territory, and that it renders the Unit
ed States gunboat Helena and the
British cruiser Espiegle liable to an
order to leave port.
The consuls will await instructions
from their respective governments, in
sQmuch as there is no law to guide
the consuls' actions.
The property and trade interests of
the foreign residents are prepared to
be abandoned.

another Parker Club in the papers, but

Fielder said; I'VE have only the kind
est feelings, not only for every Par

London, March 29.-Up to last night
no official communication had reached
the Foreign Office confirming the dec
laration of martial law at New
Chwang, and officials are inclined to
the opinion that this indicated that
the Russian government had not yet
sanctioned Viceroy Alexieff's action.
The declaration of martial law is
somewhat anxiously discussed by the
London morning newspapers, among
which the question has arisen as to
whether Russia is desirous of dragging
China into the conflict.
! The Morning Post considers that
Russia's action 'is calculated to re-
lieve Japan of some embarrassment by
removing some of the difficulties Ja-
pan would have experienced in deal
I ing with New Chwang in the event
of it becoming necessary to attack the
Russian forces at that point"

st. Louis, March 2S.-Josephs Ralph
Burton, senior United States senator
from Kansas, was convicted by jury
in the United States District Court to-
day of having accepted compensation
to protect the. interests of the Rialto
Grain and Securities Company of ST.
Louis before the Posteffice Department
T.1e jury deliberated ,forty-one hours
A motion for a new trial was i'm
mediately offered by the counsel for
the Senator. Judge Adams thereupon
ordered that Senator Burton appear in
court either in person or by proxy
from day to day until the court has
heard the arguments for new trial.
For a time there threatened to be
a disagreement in the jury. The jury
was brought before Judge Adams, who
asked the cause for the long delay
He was told that eleven jurors had
agreed, but the twelfth stood alone
The court admonished the lone juror
that the expense of a new trial should
not be incurred because Of his failing
to agree with the majority of the
jurors. A precedent was quoted, show
ing that the majority of the jurors
should decide the case before them,
and a verdict be rendered accordingly
The jury was then told to go back
and poll its vote once more. Soon
afterward the jury reported, bringing
in a verdict, but Judge Adams found
that the third count in the indictment
had not been considered, and again he
sent the jury back to consider the case,
without having announced the verdict
returned.
