RUSSIA and FRANCE EXCHANGE NOTES
LATTER COUNTRY EXPECTED TC
ACT IN CASE OF CHINESE
J INTERVENTION.

Berlin, March 25.-A communica.
tion from a we'll known diplomatist in
Paris is published by the semi-offcial
Post, in which it Is asserted that a
most pessimistic view is being taken
at Paris of the tension which is de-
clared to have undoubtedly set in be-
tween Russia and China. All fears re-
garding the attitude of China toward
the war seem, the statement contin-
ues, to be approaching realization.
Dispatches have been received from
Peking stating that the Chinese gov
ernment still denies any intention OF
abandoning its attitude of neutrality,
but everything, the diplomatist AYERS,
goes to show that it is really only
waiting for a favorable opportunity to
take part in the hostilities.
The Russian government has re-
eeived similar reports from its minis
ter in Peking and is taking measures
In consequence.
In the last day or two an exchange
of views of an exhaustive character
is said to have taken place between
the French and Russian governments
as to China's Intervention in the war,
but no decision has yet been reached
as to the line of action to be adopted
by France in this eventuality.

MARTIAL LAW IN OPERATION
EXPELLED UNION MEN WILL NOT
BE PERMITTED TO RETURN
TO TELLURIDE, COLO.

Denver, March 25.-Martial law is in
operation in two Colorado counties
San Miguel and Las Animas. Reports
from both districts are to the effect
that conditions at present are peace
full. At Telluride, San Miguel county,
press censorship is exercised and no
news is sent out unless approved by
the military authorities.
At the capitol no secret is made of
the fact that the purpose in declaring
martial law in San Miguel county is to
prevent the return to Telluride of the
union men who were expelled from the
camp by an organization of armed
business men and who have announced
their intention to go back under pro-
lection of an injunction granted by
District Judge Stevens.
Captain Bulkely Wells, whom Gov
ernor Peabody has appointed military
commander of the district, was one Of
the leaders of the party that drove
the union men and their sympathizers
out of the camp. He has said that il
the exiles should attempt to return
they would be regarded as characters
likely to create disorder in the district
and would be dealt with accordingly.

City Packing Plant.

stockmen Secure Option on Kansas
City Packing Plant.
Denver, March 25.-The News says:
That the stockmen of the West,
backed by the powerful National Live
Stock association. mean to carry out
their project of establishing an inde-
pendent packing plant to fight the so
called beef trust, is evidenced by the
option that has been taken upon the
packing plant of Jacob Dold of Kansas
City. This option is now in the hands
of Vice President L. F. Wilson and
Treasurer F. w. Flato of the organiza-
ton. All the papers incident thereto
are also in the possession of these Off
GERS, who are carefully making an ex-
animation OF them with view of for
NAL acceptance at an early date by
the organization. The option carries
with it lease for ten years on the
property.
The Dold packing house has been
one of the strongest competitors of
the trust. It's capacity is sufficient to
kill 1000 head of cattle, 1000 hogs
and as many sheep daily. According
to Secretary Martin the capacity is
great enough to answer the business
of the stockmen, who are pushing the
project to a successful end.

WHEN ORDERED TO.

Chicago, March 25.-The "closed

yards with the alternative of a gen
eral strike. Notice has been served
on one packing firm that unless it
abandoned efforts to disrupt the unions
the closed shop would be called for
and that the $4,000 union men in the
yards would enforce the demand.
Complaints have been made to the
off cials of the Packing Trades council
that several of the packers have hired
men to create discomfort among the
unionists. Michael Donnelly, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen, investigated
and says he found the complaints well
founded.
The unions in the stock yards re-
Gently formed close alliance and
some of the organizations are said to

The present agreements in the stock
yards are verbal, but wages and hours
of labor are fixed annually by commit

RUSSIA CAN AFFORD To WAIT
LOW kUROPATklN'S AR.
RIVAL AT MUkDEN.

st. Petersburg, March 25.-When
General Kuropatkin reaches Mukden
it is understood that the emperor's s
forces at the theater of war will be
divided into three arnies-one on the
peninsula, including the Port Arthur
garrison under General Stoessel, mill
tary commander at Port Arthur; a
Central army under General Linevitch
and a Northern army under General
Baron Stackelburg Any idea that
General kuropatKin's arrival will be
signalized by aggressive tactics is dis
cOuraged in the highest military cir
cles, where attention is called to the
generals repeated injunctions-
tience, patience, patience.
I'VE can afford to wait whether or
not the Japanese can is the sentiment
among the believers in General kuro-
patkin. He expects to force the Jap
anese to fight him on grounds of his
own choosing There will be no for
ward movement into Korea. On the
contrary the Russians at the Yalu are
now screening their concentration to
the westward and they will probably
retire against Japanese advance in
force, harrassing and retarding them
as much as possible until the proper
time to uncover the main Russian
army.
The continued landing of Japanese
troops in Korea is exactly to the liking
of the Russian strategists. The bigger
the army disembarked there the better
they will be suited, being convinced
that once Korea is filled with the Jap
anese soldiers by pressure of numbers
and clamor of public opinion Japan
will be driven forward into the arms
OF the Russians.

DEMOCRATIC PLAN FAILS
MOTION FOR SPECIAL INVESTIGA-
TION OF POSTAL AFFAIRS
RULED OUT.

Washington, March 25.-During the
discussion of the postoffice appropria-
tion bill in the house Mr.. Williams
(Miss.), the Democratic leader, offered
an amendment to the postoffice appro-
priation bill providing for select COM
mitree to investigate the postof1ice de-
partment.
Mr.. Overstreet made point of order
against it, which, after a warm de-
bate, was sustained.
Mr. Williams appealed from the de-
cision and the chair was sustained by
vote CT 1873 to SO.
Consideration of the postoffice bill
was resumed when the house met. Mr.
Robinson Qnd) attacked the appro-
priation of $4,000 for carrying the
mails from San Francisco to the island
of Tahiti and offered an amendment
to strike it from the bill. He referred
to previous appropriations and said
the item had been inserted by "a fine
Italian hand undisclosed." No one
knew of it's birth, he said, which led
him to believe this appropriation has
been sneaked through congress in
cowardly manner
Mr.. Overstreet, chairman of the
postoffice committee, defended the ap-
preparation.
Messrs, Cromer Qnd.) and Shirley
(Ky.) supported the amendment. Mr..
Livernash (Cal) strongly opposed it,
saying that the Oceanic Steamship
company company most liberal in
the employment of white laborers as
against Chinese, should not be embar-
rassed in an attempt to enlarge its
usefulness: The amendment, he said,
was blow at the white sailors of the
Pacific.
The amendment was agreed to and
the provision was stricken from the
bill.
