CHARGES FALSE,
SAYS CLEVELAND
Former President Makes
Sharp Reply to the AL
legation of Tom Watson

RICHMOND, Va, April 3.-In scath-
ing terms former President Grover
Cleveland denies the charges made by
Tom f. Watson to the effect that he
invited Fred Douglass, a negro, to a re-
ception and signed a bill providing for
mixed schools while Governor of New
York. His letter is in reply to one from
William f. Abernathy of Chase City.
Va 1t bears date of Princeton, March
q, and reads as follows:
Twill f. Abernathy, Esq: Dear Sir
Ny attention has been several times
called to the statements of Tom E.
Watson to the effect that Fred Douglass
was invited to my wedding reception
and further that while Governor / sign
ed a bill providing for mixed schools
/ have already written two or three
letters denying these allegations and
do not propose to spend any more time
denying statements so absurd and
ernanating from so impossible D
source.
Each and every one of Mr.. Watson's
charges Cf they can be so called) as
they have been presented to me is false.
They are about as far from truth as
they can be. and they were made,
have no doubt without the least rea-
son to believe them to be true and GER
tainly in a spirit of which even Mr.
Watson ought to be ashamed.
Yours very truly,

Brown Army Is Near

TOXIC. April 3.-The advance guard
of the japanese army in Northwestern
Korea occupied the town of Sengcheng
yesterday afternoon without 0pposi-
ton. Sengcheng is on the Peking road.
eighteen miles west of Chongju and
about forty miles south Of. Wiju..
When the japanese drove the Rus
slams out of Chongju last Monday the
Russians withdrew in two columns. one
going over the KOaksan road and the
other over the Peking road. The Jap
anese advance from ChOngju was made
very rapidly, 1t was expected that
the Russians would resist advance. but
they failed to do so. and now il is
not proba BILE that there will be any
further opposition south of the Yalu
River.
Chongju. because of it's superior nat
uraI surroundings, is the strongest
sides these natural advantages. there
is an old Korean fort there, which. had
it been defended with spirit, would
have been hard TO take. The Japanese
are gratified at the comparative ease
with which they drove the Russians
from this fort.
Russian patrols are reported to be
in the country east of the Peking road.
but it is not probable tnat there is
any considerable force of Russians in
that section. The patrols are Withdraw
ing gradually to the northward, toward
the Yalu.
It is reported that the ice on the
Yalu is well broken up and in the fu-
ture the river must be crossed either
in junks or over pontoon bridges.

reys for r. II. Hartman have notified
counsel for the Northern Securities
Company Of their intention to file with
the United States Circuit Court a pc
tition for intervention in the distribu-
ton of the securities stock. The pc
tition has been prepared and proba bly,
will be presented tomorrow
Hartman asserts that in the forma-
ton Of the Securities conpany he de-
posted Northern Pacific stock. and he
objects to being paid in part Northern
Pacific and the balance in Great North
ern shares, as planned by Hill. Should
Hartman succeed i'm getting back ali
of his Northern Pacific stock he will

ing as trustees for the Oregon Short
Line. asks the court TO direct the
Northern Securities Company to return
20 the original shareholders the North
ern Pacific stock exchanged for North

formation Of that company
NJ. ID. Grover. counsel for the North
ern Securities Company said tonight
when questioned concerning the petit
tion
These papers were drawn late Sat
urday afternoon. Judge Baldwin OF

sentative. asked the court how long .he
present session would continue and was
Informed that il would probably last
until May J. He thereupOn notified the
court Of his intention TO present the
petition, We were also informed that
the action Of interests tending to inter
vene involves a method to be followed
in distributing the stock OF the Nor
thern Pacific and Great Northern held
BY the Northern Securities Company
and means a further delay. perhaps Of
an important nature. in closing up the
affairs Of the holding company"
Judge Baldwin refuses TO make any
statement other than 10 outline in

tervenOrs is TO insure a return of the
shares Of the Northern Pacific delivered
TO the Securities company and to pre-
vent rstable distribution of the Great

AMERICAN CONSUL
OBTAINS RELEASE
OF BRITISH CRAFT

NEwCHwANG. April 3.-The press
boat Fawan placed under arrest yester-
day. was released to-day by order of
General Kuropatkin. The Fawan was
detained because she had passed be-
tween the lines. having come Indirectly
from Chemulpo. She was released on
condition that she leave port. Her re-
lease was brought about wholly by
United States Consul II. B. Miller, who
has the confidence of the Russian au-
thorities.
The release of the Fawan imnedi-
ateIy. before the case was forced upon
the cognizance of the British Consul,
contributes to the anelioration of a
new situation which has arisen in the
past two days through the arrest and
detention for some hours of a British
conductor of the Chinese railway at a
station on the west side of the river.
outside of the port limits. This incident,
together with the detention of the
Fawan, has prolonged the stay of the
British gunboat Espiegie, which is in
terpreted by some as a British recon-
sideration of Russian jurisdiction over
Newchwang as provided in the declara-
ton of martial law.

Special Cable to The Call and New York Her

Herald Publishing Company.
SANTIAGO DE CHILE. April 3.-It
now transpires that during the recent
visit of Baron Fujishima, the eminent
japanese statist, to South American
capitals Commercial compact of
great political significance was ar
ranged between the governments of
Toxic and Chile, the exact letter of
which yet remains secret of the ad
ministration here. Gradually, however
it has leaked out that in future inter-
national questions wheresSouth Arneri-
can interests are concerned Japan may
be expected to support Chile's claim
to the exercise of dominating voice.
in return for which pledge the San
tiago Government will undertake to in
duce the republic of Ecuador, instead
of selling the Galapagos archipelago
to Germany or the. United States, to
transfer the islands to Japan for use as
a naval station. commanding the Pa
ciffc entrance. to the bay of Panama
and the interoceanic canal.
The ChiIeans regard the reported deal
as a great diplomatic. victory over the
Washington Government which would
never permit a formal transfer of the
sovereignty of the Galapagos by Ecua-
dor to Chile. though the latter for a
number of years has held an option on
them under, mortgage to secure pay
ment for arms and ammunition sold by
this republic to. Ecuador by the late
President Montt.f For diplomatic rea-
sons-to. force theA Americans to show
their hand-Chile upon several occa-
sions encouraged Ecuador to offer the
archipelago to Germany. when the

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Postmaster
General Henry c. Payne is desperately
ill at the Arlington Hotel and his close
If he will recover. They ascribe his
present critical condition to the per-
sonal attacks made on him in Congress
during the past three weeks in connec-
tion with the postoffice scandals.
The Postmaster Generals health has
been badly undermined by the long and
trying postal Investigations, and he
was in no shape to withstand the at
tacks occasioned by the publication of
the Bristow report. Newspaper criti-
cism of his official conduct had caused
him more or less worry. but it was a.
nothing compared with the effect of
the assaults made upon him on the
floor Of the House.
Representative Burleson of Texas
called him a criminal and Representa-
tive Clayton of Georgia twice referred
to him as a distinguished imbecile. "
These and other personal epithets ap-
piled to the Postmaster General occa-
stoned him great distress of mind.
Advices from the sick room to-day
indicated that the Postmaster General
is in critical condition. His doctors
have abandoned the idea, for the time
being. of getting him South.
Few people here expect that General
Payne will ever resume his work in
the Postoffice Department. Even should
he recover his health which is regard
ed as exceedingly doubtful. it is not
thought that he will care to go back
to the department. 1t is we'll known
that he is heartily sick of the whole
business and would have resigned
months ago if conditions would have

LOOK UPON WAR
WITH MONGOLIANS
AS A CERTAINTY

ST PETERSBURG, April 4.-The
Russky vidomosti's correspondent at
the front says that Russians living in
Manchuria descredit the Peking Gov
ernment's observance OF the declara-
ton of neutrality. Every Siberian set
tier and eveEy Russian soldier believes
there will be war with China The set
tiers, who are bitter against the Chi
nese as well as the Japanese, say
things must soon be settled once for
all, else a few years hence new trou-
bles will arise.
Regarding the declaration of martial
law at Newchwang an official Of the
Foreign Office is thus quoted BY the
NovOsti:
There is no question of Russia
right to declare Newchwang in a state
of siege. This is purely an internal
Russian affair We need no approval
of our action in this matter, nor viii
we notice any protest if made. which
is highly improbable. Manchuria was
declared 70 be the possible scene Of
war. and wherever our troops are We
have the right to act as we think best
We have a garrison at Newchwang.
and consequently can take any steps
there we think necessary.

SPEAK
AGAINST A TREATY
Ohio Organization Scores Proposed
Arbitration Arrangement Between
America and Britain

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 3.-The
Irish Nationalists of this city have
adopted strong resolutions protesting
against an arbitration treaty between
the United States and Great Britain.
The views of George Washington rel
ative to the danger of alliances with
foreign powers is cited and the opin-
ion is expressed that such treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain would be an undesirable con-
dition to the others of the European
powers and would tend to disrupt and
destroy the friendly relations that now
exist between the United States and
those countries.
copy of the protest will be sent

PORT ARTHUR April 3.--Prepara-
tions have been made to give the Jap
anese a warm reception in case they
again attempts to block the harbor.
Vice Admiral Togo was right in sur
missing that Vice Admiral Makaroff is
responsible for the change in Russian
naval tactics and the inspiration of
Russian seamen.
ST. PETERSBURG, April "a cor
respondent at Port Arthur telegraph phed
to-day as follows:
The Chinese prophesying new at
tempts to block the channel are at
the present moment awed. All is quiet
in port. and the situation is unchanged
throughout the peninsula.
Deposits of coal similar to that of
Cardiff. Wales. have been found in the
vicinity of Port Arthur. The discovery
is an extremely timely one, in view of
the necessity of obtaining an ample
supply of fuel for the fleet.
Indignation prevails here over the
publication by the daily press of Hong
kong of untrue reports concerning Rus
sia and of victories by the Japanese,
which excite the Chinese against Rus
sia.

Viceroy Alexieff. he visited the battery
