ALL IS NOT SERENE
UNDERcURRENT OF FRICTION
 AT ALBANY.
Former Senator Hill Selects the Place for Convention and Leader Murphy of Tammany
 Chooses the Date.

Albany, N. r.. March 5.-The Demo- cratic State Convention which will select delegates to the National Convention, will be held at Albany Monday. April is.
 This was decided by the State Commit tee today. The real result was arrived at before the committee met at R meet ing between former Senator Hiil and Leader Murphy of Tammany. Senator HiH aceeded to Me. Murphy's request to set the date for the 18th instead of the 18th. and Mir. Murphy. finding that Mir. Hill controlled a majority of the commit- tee, acquiesced in the selection of Al. bany instead of New York.
 The only test of strength by the force led by Mir. Hill and Senator McCarren of Brooklyn and that controlled by Mir. Murphy came on the seating of Commit teeman Fitzpatrick of the Forty eighth District, whom the Murphy forces claim. ed had resigned. The Hill forces obtained 26 votes. a bare majority, while Mir. Mur- phys got a. there being one vacancy.
 There was an undercurrent of friction between the two factions during the dis cussion of vacancy and this found vent afterwards in 3 statement prepared al the request of Murphy after the ad- journment of the committee. This reads:
 It was hoped that the meeting of the State committee would be the occasion for a demonstration of Democratic har- mony which would be an earnest inten- ton of the Democrats of the State to bury all past factional differences ana present a united front in the battle Of this year. The first indication of any breach in the harmony was afforded when the intimation was conveyed that the State committee would be asked at its meetings to pass resolutions, If not or endorsement. at least of confidence in one of the prospective presidential candidates.
 ''The leader of the Democratic party in New York city, Mir Murphy, who has consistently believed that the cause of the party would best be served by an un- instructed delegation to St. Louis de- clared that in his opinion 1t would be un- wise at this early date to prejudge the issue by declaring for any one choice: 1t Is satisfactory to know that the sound- CT judgment of the party finally conced- ed the propriety of this stand"

THE HoUsE.

Washington, March 5.--The House to- day passed the Indian appropriation bill after some controversy relating to pro- visions affecting tribes in the Indian Ter ritory. An unsuccessful effort was made by MT. Stephens (Texas) to elimi- nate the provision for continuing the Dawes Commission another year. He said the information he had received was that the commissioners was at variance among themselves and were without an executive head and that there was con- fusion worse confounded. His amend ment was ruled out on a point of order. An amendment by Mir Little (Ark.) was adopted removing the restrictions on the sale or lease of lands of all aIlottees of the five civilized tribes of the Indian territory who are not of the Indian blood except the restrictions on the homestead. A further amendment by MT. Little was adopted which places with the Secretary of the Interior the authority, heretofore vested in the Dawes Commission to sell at public sales the residue of the land belonging to the Creek nation fin the Creek nation now unsettled and consist ing about 50o.O00 acres. The provision authorizing and directing the CommIs- sion of Indian Affairs to make rules and regulations for the renting of the home steads and surplus lands allotted to full
 blood Indians Belonging to the Cherokee Creek, Choctaw and Chickasaw in the Indian Territory or to the minor children or such Indians went out on a point of ordper raised by Mir. Little. The bill was then passed without division.

NAVAL BILL DEBATED
THE EXCHANGE or VIEWS IS
 INTERESTING.
Nelson of Minnesota Thinks We'll of Japan and England and Hale of Maine is in Favor
 of Russia.

Washington. March 5--There was an in- teresting exchange of views to-day be- tween MT. Nelson and Mr. Hale.
 The Minnesota Senator. In the course of a brief colloquy with Mir. Patterson con corning features of the naval appropria- ton bill. expressed the opinion that there is such a commonality of interest on the part of the United States. Great Britain and Japan as to protect China against iismemberment
 To this statement. Mir. Hale. In charge of the bill. objected sharply. saying that the position of the United States in the present Oriental war is that of neutrality and that he could not allow to go unchal- lenged any statement in the Senate indi- eating a national interest in either Rus sia or Japan Mir. Nelson responded by saying Mir. Hale had indicated as great partiality for Russia as he had expressed for Japan.
 The naval bill again occupied praetic- ally all of the time of the Senate. but while the amendment concerning a naval training station on the Great Lakes was technically the pending question 1t was scarcely mentioned.
 The discussion to-day was entirely on political lines and was participated in by Messrs. German, Hale, Depew and Nel- son. on the Republican side, and by Messrs. Hale. Depew and Nell and Bacon on the Democratic side. Mir. Martin supported the bill and Mir. German while critlcizing the too rapid growth of the navy, said that if he could do so he would not at this time. on the eve Of a presidential campaign, change the situa- ton because of tho bad effect of taking the navy into politics. Tn consideration of the naval bill was not completed when the Senate adjuorned.

VON .WALDERSEE DEAD
COMMANDED THE ALLIED AR
 MES IN CHINA.
German Field Marshal Whose Rela. tions with General Chaffee Be- came stranged-Married
 an American Women.

Hanover, Prussia. March 5.-Field Mar. shal Count von Waldersee died shortIv after o'clock this evening. Hope of his recovery was abandoned during the morn ing even Professor Orth and Profes. sor Epstein, the great experts in intes- tinal diseases, who went to the beside of the famous warrior on orders from Elm peror William, holding out no encourage ment to the family and relatives.
 Von Waldersee has been a notable fig ure in German army and political life for many years. He was very popular with the masses and was the only subject not of a royal house who was always cheered by the public. Not even the Chancellor was treated with more respect and ad- miration, for Waldersee had to do with the things that made Prussian great and the empire possible.
 His partial arrangement with the pres ent Emperor in the early part of the lat teT's reign. the reason of which still re- mains obscure, had long since disappeared and had been replaced by the Emperor cordial friendship.
 Count von waldersee was the most dis tinguished officer in the German army and with the possible exception of Earl Roberts. probably the most noted military commander of Europe. He served with distinction in the Franco-Prussian war
 lie was well-known both because of his marriage to an American woman and be- cause of his, altercation in China with Lieutenant General Adna R. Chaffee. now ranking officer of the American army general Chaffee addressed a letter tC count won Waldersee protesting agains the riotous conduct of the German sol dlers. Count von Waldersee refused tC recelVe tne letter, and the situation wal very strained for a time. but was finally adjusted by the good offices of the Eng fish commanding officer.

CHARLES H. SPARKS AT LAST
 MEETS DEATH ON GALLONS

formation has proved that Russia Is sin cere in its desire to maintain friendly relations with Great Britain
 It sis frankly recognized at the Foreign Ofiice, however, that certain classes oi Russian opinion are much enbitteret against Great Britain. more 20 even thar the Russian press indicates and that Il will be some little time before the rela- tions of the Russian and British public resume their normal condition
 The only diplomatic danger believed by the Foreign once to be in sight is a pos sible continental protest against the Jap anese-Korean treaty. Great Britain has been unoficially approached by one of the gresst powers with the view of sustaining Rusela's protest in this connection on a point of international law. Lord Lans- downe. however, will take no action and 1t Is not thought likely that other nations will deem 1t wise to complicate the sit- uation by seriously urging the Russian contenton that Japan's new treaty with Korea abrosates the rights of other powers.
 Baron Hayashi. Japanese Minister Go Great Britain, who keeps in close touch with diplomatic developments. declares that no Russian complication is likely to occur.

WAR HARDLY BEGUN.
So Far All Operations Have Been

So Far All Operations Have Been
 NJ Preliminary.
 St. Petersburg, March 5.--Although ale most four weeks have elapsed since the Japanese first attacked Port Arthur the war Is regarded as hardly begun.
 Heavy land fighting on which the fate |of the campaign depends Is not expected much before the end of April. By this time Russia win have in the field. exclu- sive of the large army required to guard the railroads. four army corps, each with Id cavalry division and an artillery bri- gade. The crippling of the Port Arthur fleet while 1t gave Japan command of the sea at the outset is of relatively small importance from the standpoint of the
 main strategy of the war, whether Port Arthur stands or fails.
 Russians are determined to defend Port Arthur as herolcaiiy as they did sevas- topol. No large garrison wilI be retained there; ten thousand men are as good as 100,000 for defense while tho more men the more nouths to feed. There are enough provisions there now to last eight months.
 viceroy AlexieR stiT retains his head quarters at Mukden though three thou- sand or four thousand soldiers are pasg. ing daily to the positions which Che main army will occupy. The Russians believe that for military purposes there Is only one FnaA over which eha Japanese can come from Korea All troops landed al CssAnAuipp Azokph0 and Chlhnag lan Fnpak use the HPekin road 2
 Consequently the landings at Paksln Bay tsong Chinl and at other places on the east cost of Northern Korea are not regarded as important. The Russian plans do not contemplate taking any chances on the score of inferior numbers. By sheer weight of men and guns if noth- ing else. when the proper time arrives Russih counts on overwhelming the Japa- pese and rolling them back through Ko- rec. It is realized that the vastness of the theatre of war will make the protec- ton of the railroad the sole means for the transportation of troops and supplies from Europe, one of the most difficult of the Russian military problems. With the Japanese in command of the sea there is always the possibility of their landing small bodies of men in unexpected places but a6equate steps are believed to have been taken to guard against the cutting off of communication.
 General KuropatlIin, who leaves for the front March l2, is expected to be on the ground before the real campaign opens. He has purchased milk white horses from an officer of the cavalry school to ride in the Far East, thus fol- lowing the example of the famous Gen eraI Skobeloff with whom he fought at the siege of Geok Tep.

.MR. SMITH IS ANGERED

Says the Courts of Utah Alone are Concerned With His Violation of the Laws Against Poly-
 gamous Co-habitation.

washington, March kAAdmissions drawn from Joseph F. smith. president of the Mormon church respecting his continued violations of the law forbiddins polyganous colabitation again constl- futed the feature of the proceedings to- day in the Senate Committee on Privi- Ieges and Elections against Reed smoot ok Utah.
 The witness. angered by the persistent efforts of some member of the committee to obtain from him every detail of his re- mission in obeying the law, turned on Congress and charged that body with interfering without authority in his private affairs and uhurping the powers of the Utah courts. which alone, ha saids possessed the right to hold him to ac- count for his conduct.

the French.
 Paris, March 5.-The ofIlcial view in Paris does not share the opinion which Is said to prevail in Washington and Berlin that khe threatening Russophobic atti- tude of, the Chinese Generals Ma and Yuan Shlkai Commander-in-C Chief, may lead to a breach of China's neutrality and compel France to take action in behalf of Russia.
 Reports in Paris confirm those which have reached Washington and other capi- tals that the Chinese troops are showing much activity in Northern China and along the Manchurian border. They also indicate that bands of Chinese brigands are taking advantage of the present op- portunity to resume their depredatlons and raids through Manchuria, but the of- fcers in Paris say 1t is a mistake to con- meet such action of irregular Chinese forces with the actions of the Chinese Government
 The positive and definite purpose of the French authorities is to deal only with the Government of China and not to con- sider lawless acts of various irresponsl- ble military bodies, It is pointed out that unless China declares war. and So long as the Chinese Government makes no forma: declarations of war. France will not regard as war measures actions taken by irresponsible Chinese Generals or bands.
 It is not expected that Japan's intention to build the Seoul and Wiju Railroad will cause any serious clash with the owners of the early French concessions The original concession was granted to a French company in 1896. Later the con- cession was modified so that the road was to be built by French engineers and with French material. It Is fully recognized that the private interests and concessions may suffer through the exigencies of the war, but in case French rights are im- paired, 1t Is expected Japan or Korea will give adequate indemnifcation.

 Violations of Laws.
 Tolxlo. March 5.--Japan addressed note to the powers today in response to tae recent communication from Russia. Tho noto has not been published here and It's contents are unknown.
 Russia's various communications to the powers attacking Japan for its conduct of diplomatic negotiations before the rtip- ture in the attack upon Russia without declaration of war. and its alleged vio- lation of the neutrality of Korea, have been received in Japan largely in tho spirit of amusement
 The Japanese resent what 1t is alleged to be a deliberate attempt to place them in false position regarding certain incl- dents, but in the main do not take the correspondence seriously. Responding to the charge of violating the neutrality Of Korea they have pointed to the action of Russia in Afanchuria where thousands of troops were assembled long before a diplomatic. rupture occurred. They gay that they are fully prepared to acccpe the Judgment of the powers on 8 com- parison of their course In Korea. where they landed troops only. after. a state Of war existed and upon written permission of the Emperor of Korea.
 They deny that Chemulpo was a neutral port 1IteF lno dHp6uC89 lAu0cQ Ofi q eU~ rIafy 8. but whether it was neutral or belligerent, Russia began hostilities there. When the Russian gunboat Korietz steamed out of the harbor of Chemulpo on the afternoon of Februarys s. she opened fire on thet Japanese squadron, making the opening shot of tho war. The Japanese guns did not respond but the Japanese torpedo boat deatroyers aSl- swered the fire and discharged two tor pedoes before the Korietz retired.

 Washington, March 5.-Secretary Hay and Minister Takahira tonight denied that Japan had addressed another note to the powers regarding the controversy with Russia. Secretary Hay was ad- vised, however, by the minister that a communication had been received. but for the present 1t had been deemed ad- visable to keep the note confidential.
