Rosenbaum Bros & Co., of Chicago,
send out the following.
General conditions here are very un-
settled owing to the strike among the
packing house employees all the dress
ed beef houses are out of the market,
and therefore the demand for cattle is
very limited, the exporters, eastern
shippers and city butchers being the
only buyers. During the present labor
difficulties the trade can take care of
only about one-third of the usual runs
Of stock, and it is very fortunate that
the supply of cattle since the strike
has been light, and consequently there
has been no particular change in
prices during the week.
While strikes must at all times be
deplored, still it is more Qpportupe
time for range interests than later OH,
and we have no doubt but what all ex-
listing labor difficulties will be settled
before the commencement of the range
season.

RAISES SERIOUS QUESTION.
Action of Russia in Depriving ConsuIs
OF Their Power.

Washington, March 30.-Minister
Conger has cabled the state depart
ment from Peking that the Russian
authorities have declared martial law
al Newchwang and have formally mott
he'd all foreigners.
Mr.. Conger's message makes no ref
erence TO the reported hauling down
OF foreign flags by the Russians. The
officials here assume that ii this has
been done it simply means that Russia
has assumed the responsibility for the
protection of foreign property not be-
longing To the belligerents and that no
effort will be made to interfere with
the consular 1ags. Nor does Mr.. Con-
ger refer to the reported notice from
the Russian authorities at NeWchwang
TO The consuls that they may no longer
exercise consular jurisdiction and con-
sular functions, especially eXtra-terri-
tofial jurisdiction. Ii is said that il
any such action has been taken ii will
raise very serious question, for the
consuls exercise their power in this
treaty port under treaty stipulation
with a sovereign power which is not
party to the war. 1t is not recalled,
moreover. that it has been customary
In time of war for a belligerent to un-
dertake to deprive consuls OF their
functions.

RUSSIAN ACTION IS UPHELD
PORTS DEFENSIVE MEAS.
URES AT NEWCHWANG.

Paris, March 30.-The removal by
the Russian authorities Of British and
American flags at Newchwang is caus-
ing 2 lively discussion in the press
here. The general opinion supports
Russia's right to administer New
chwang militarily. The officials here
share the same view.
The Russian embassy points out that
the negotiations following the presen-
tation OF Secretary Hays note on
China left Manchuria within the zone
Of military operations and they say
that the substitution OF military for
civil authority followed as result OF
the military regime in Manchuria.
1t is also pointed out that Russia
gave notice TO the foreign govern
ments before laying torpedoes in the
harbor of Newchwang and gave notice
also of other defensive measures. 1t
is maintained that since this brought
no protest Russias right to adopt all
the necessary defensive measures is
conceded nj. Nelidoff, the Russian
has delivered such no.
tice to Foreign Minister Delcasse and
II is understood that all the other Rus
sian ambassadors have acted sim
ilarly.

RUSSIA W.rHlN HER RIGHTS
Britons VIII Not Protest Against Ac'
ton at NeWchWanq.

London, March 30.-The Associated
Press learns that the British govern
ment has NJ intention of protesting
against the Russian action in declar-
ing martial law at Newchwang. An
endeayor will be made in the ordinary
way and after the cessation of hostili-
ties to secure compensation for such
British merchants as are pecuniarily
affected. 1t has not yet been decided
whether the British consul will re-
main at Newchwang, but this matter
is not considered of serious impor-
tance. 1t is pointed out at the foreign
Office that neither the United States
nor Great Britain ever considered
Newchwang neutral and when Secre-
tary Hays note was received it was
tacitly admitted that Newchwang
might quite likely be one of the points
OF a Japanese attack and the Russians
are considered quite within their
rights in taking the necessary steps
TO prevent possible japanese aggres-
sion
AT the Japanese legation the Rus
sian proclamation of martial law at
Newchwang was thought to be rather
favorable to Japan than otherwise, as
it eliminates any possible protest on
the part of other powers in the event
of an attack Oh Newchwang by Vice
Admiral Togo

PASSES FIRST READING.
Alien immigration Bill in the House
of Commons.

London, March 30.-The alien i'm
nj grafton bill was introduced in the
house of commons during the day and
passed its first reading without divi-
sion. The bill follows the recommen-
dations OF the report of the royal COM
mission on alien immigration, issued
Aug. IL last, that the immigration of
certain classes of aliens into the Unit
ed Kingdom be subjected to state con-
troll.
Home Secretary Akers- Douglas, in
introducing the measure, referred to
the increase of crime due to the ad-
mission of class of aliens in this
country who would be refused admis-
sion into the United States There
was no intention, the secretary ex
planned, to interfere with the immi-
grafton OF foreigners generally, but
only with the class of undesirable i'm
migrants who had displaced the Brit
ish laborer and pushed the English out
of dwellings they formerly had occu-
pied with the result that the feeling
between foreigners and British, espe-
cially in London, was becoming a seri-
ous menace TO the maintenance of law
and order.

ment on Panama Canal.

Washington, March 30.-Warren B.
Wilson, lawyer of Chicago, has filed
in the District supreme court bill
in equity for an injunction against
Secretary Shaw, the republic of Pan
anna, the new Panama Canal com
pany of France and others to estop the
construction of the Panama canal
He asks that Secretary Shaw be
enjoined from permitting the payment
from any moneys under his control,
under the pretended authority of the
void act of June 2S, 1902, entitled an
act to provide for the construction of
canal connecting the waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
He AYERS that there is no appropri-
alton by law of any money for the
payment of any of the construction
expenses and declares that the act of
June 2S, 1902, is in violation of the
Constitution of the United States and
Is null and void.

No Doubt of the Result From Their
Point of View.

st. Petersburg, March 30.-Forecast.
ing the result OF the war in the Far
East the Novosti declares there is no
more doubt as to who will be the
eventual victor than there was at the
commencement of the Greco-Turkish,
the Spanish-American or the Boer war.
For Japan the war is a life and
death struggle" continues the Novos-
ii. She places everything on one
card. For Russia it is really only a
colonial war and even defeat would
leave the empire not greatly affected,
while success would be sure to mean
great stimulus to the Russian col
oniZation of Manchuria, where it is
reasonable to suppose many soldiers
Will settle after the struggle is over"
But" adds the paper, Russia
should not pay too high price for
this colonial empire and, therefore,
should conserve as far as possible the
army and the fleet"

holidays gave the Liberal leader, Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman. an oppor-
tunity TO make a spirited attack on the
government He caustiCally criticised
in detail the whole policy of the min
istry, which, he declared, except in
the matter of Chinese labor, was
marked by "indecision. confusion and
vacillation. a tortuous course and a
misty atmosphere" Sir Henry added
that he did not think il was in ac-
cordance with the spirit of the consti-
tuition that Premier Balfour should
retain power when the country had
shown at every opportunity afforded
ii that he no longer enjoyed its favor.
Mr.. Balfour. replying. said he noted
the anxiety OF the Liberal leader that
he should resign, but he was quite un-
able to see why the government
should take the unprece eiented course
of resigning office while il retained
the confidence of the house He agreed
with Lord Rosebery that the country
should not be rushed in regard to the
fiscal question and pointed out that
the government majority even now
was larger than the majority with
which Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman
assumed office in order to carry home
rule
