taches much Importance to the powers
excepting Manchuria from the accord
dealing with China.
The only advices received here con-
cerning the operations in the field snow
the gradual concentration of Russian
and Japanese troops near the Yalu
River.
A question has arisen concerning the
powers acceptance of the third clause
Of Japan's declaration relative to her
recognition of Chinas neutrality. This
clause approves China's neutrality, but
adds that China will be expected TO
maintain garrisons at Shanhaikwan
and other strategical points. 1t is said
that the European powers will not ap-
prove of this condition, as it will have
the effect of requiring China to do gar
rison duty helpful to Japan and indi-
rectly prejudicial to Russia. 1t is also
claimed that the condition is contrary
to the spirit of strict neutrality contem-
plated by the American note.
Jaures, leader of the Socialist party
(Which holds the balance of power in
Parliament), until recently Vice Presi-
dent of the chamber, has made dec
laration, contemplating the immediate
denunciation of the Franco Russian
alliance, which has attracted great
deal of attention in diplomatic circles.
The declaration was made at ST.
Etienne, where the Socialist Congress
is sitting According to the st. Etienne
Tribune, the Socialist organ in that
city, Jaures said;
Elapsed years and past experience
have demonstrated that Germany,
from which aggression was to be ex-
pected, does not wish for war. Expert
ence shows that the alliance with Rus
sia, which has been directed, above all,
first against Germany has lost the
reasons for its existence"
According to the Petite Republique, Il
Socialist paper of Paris, Jaures said:
do nothing which will provoke
Japan and nothing which will provoke
England, and then denounce the alli-
ance that has become dangerous. Let
us defend ourselves"
French politicians recognize that
there is considerable difference be-

POWERS SAFEGUARD
RUSSIA IN AGREEING
TO HAYS PROPOSAL

PARIS, Feb. 15.-The Foreign Office
to-day confirmed the announcements
made in these dispatches on Saturday
that Russia and France approved of the
United States note on the subject of
Chinese neutrality, with reservation
excluding Manehuria.
The success of the American initia-
tive to bring about the naturalization OF
China and the limitation of the area of
operations continues to absorb official
and diplomatic attention, the results
effected being considerd paramount to
the actual war operations. 1t is said
that the second American note and the
various replies will constitute an ac-
cord Of the powers without signing a
further agreement.
The American officials here expect
Russia to issue a declaration similar TO
that of the Japanese, favoring the prin-
ciples of the accord, but the French
Foreign Office understands that Rus
sia's brief approval, already given, con-
stitutes Russia's response.
The general view, including that of
the American officials, is that the ac-
cord will prove of inestimable benefit
in limiting the conflict strictly to Rus
sia and japan, thus keeping out Great
Britain, France, China and all other
powers, and also circumscribing the
zone of the conflict. This view, how
ever, is not accepted by every one, GER
tain high quarters holding that Russia
secured real benefits from the accord by
the indirect admission of the powers
fer the time that Manchuria is to be
treated differently from the rest of
China The American answer to this
is that Manchuria is excluded from the
accord merely because actual war OPP
erations are proceeding there, but there
is reason to believe that Russia at

TYPICAL RUSSIAN
CITY IN THE CENTER
OF MANCHURIA

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-What, the
Russians have accomplished at Har-
bin, the great inland metropolis of
Manchuria, is told in a report to the
State Department by Miller, the Amer
lean Consul at Newchwang Harbin
is on the Sungari River, at the juno
tion of the Manchurian branch of the
Siberian Railway and the Chinese
Eastern branch, where it starts south
to Dalny, Port Arthur being distant
from the last point 600 miles Miller
says Harbin is destined soon to become
the commercial center of Manchuria,
as it is the geographical center, and
that the city on all sides for hundreds
of miles is surrounded with a rich and
productive agricultural country. Of
the administration of this netropolis
Miller says:
1T is as distinctly a Russian city as
though it were located in the heart Of
Russia, and none but Russians and
Chinese are permitted to own land. con-
struct buildings or engage in any per-
manent enterprise. The city has been
created by the Russian Government
under the management of the Manchu-
rian Railway Company. The land for
many miles in each direction has been
secured against foreigners, who are not
recognized as having any rights what
ever, but are permitted there merely
on sufferance."
With a population of 1900 in 1902
Harbin by the census of last year
showed $4,000 inhabitants, exclusive Of
soldiers. Only 700 of the inhabitants are
foreigners. There are no Americans.
The city has elegant administration
buildings, railway shops costing more
than $1,000 600, hospitals; commercial
technical, Russian and Chinese schools;
clubs, hotels and bank, representing a
total investment in buildings alone of

The capital of the foremost enter
prises is supplied by Siberian Jews.
Harbin was started primarily as a mil
itary center and an administrative
town for the government and direction
of railway affairs. It's marvellous com
mercial development was an after
thought.

extraordinary orders received at the
Brooklyn navy yard to-day led to the
spreading of the rumor that the de-

rumors were caused by the receipt Of
orders to replace the guns on the

cent tests by two guns of similar size

Artisan was the only building Who'll

shell from a twelve-inch gun which
after traversing the roof and walls
fell in the yard, killing the woman
referred to. The fact that the Rus

ly because of the desire not to be-
