RUSSIA RESPONSIBLE.
New Chuang Has Been Placed Under
Martial Law.

New Chuang, March 2s.-The foreign
consuls had a conference with the civil
administrator today The latter in
formed them that the full intention of
Russia's order of yesterday was TO
proclaim martial law and also annul
consular jurisdiction. and that the
same already was annulled.
The British consul interpreted the
order as not declaring martial law
The other consuls were unable yester-
day to comprehend Russia's intention.
The administrator agrees with the
consuls to suspend a rigid enforce
nent Of said order until the foreign
governments act in order 10 lessen the
complications
The Americans here call attention to
the apparent defeat Of American aims
regarding placing cOnsuls in Manchu-
ria by the execution of Russia's order.
American and British flags were to-
day removed by the Russian military
from the property of citizens of Amer
lean or British nationality.

In Coffin SO Hours Revived.

After being SO hours in her coffin
Mabel Fearing, the 3-year-old daugh-
ter of c. NJ. Fearing, OF Custer, S. D..
was revived. The child was saved by
the intervention ofDr. f. Norton, a
relative, Who was at the house to at
tend her funeral
DR.. Norton noted the rosy cheeks
and unchanged appearance of the
child and refused to permit the coffin
to be closed. He called other physi-
clans aud an effort was made to revive
the child. At last signs of returning
animation were noted. Half an hour
later the stethoscope indicat ed a re
turn of strong heart action. An hour
later the child was sleeping in the
arms of its mother With proper care
the child will, it is believed, soon be
convalesbent.

Lee Corrects Wheeler.

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee declared that
Gen Joseph Wheeler had done injus-
tice to the memory OF President Lin
coin in the statement that General Nc.
Clellan would have taken Richmond
in 1862 but for the fact that Lincoln
and Stanton interferred, believing
that he would, by such success, eclipse
the fame of both of them.
The reason Mcclellan did not take
Richmond, according to General Lee,
is the tact that Stonewall Jackson
came down from the valley and fell
upon his rear. Gen Lee says that the
relations between Lincoln and Nc
Clellan were always of the most cor
dial character.
