Shanghai. Feb. 24.-The Russian gum
boat Mandjur. which is bottled up at
this port by a japanese cruiser. has
as yet given no sign that she intends
TO leave, despite the inslstence of the
Japanese government that China COM
pei her to do so.
1t is alleged that China is sending
the cruisers Haichi and Haishen hither
to eject her. They are expected to ar
rive today.
1t is stated that this step has been
taken owing to a threat from Japan
that if China is unable to enforce her
neutrality Japan will undertake it
herself. The japanese cruiser Akitsu-
shima is still at Woosung with steam
up and her decks cleared for action,
ready to capture the Mandjur as soon
as she reaches the open sea.

Hornets Adjourned Meeting.


The Dexter Literary and Psychic Re-
search Society of Germantown, Pa,
held the shortest, and at the same time
the liyeliest meeting in its history last
uight. The subject under discussion was
natural history, and the members had
been requested to bring various speci-
mems with them to illustrate whatever
information they might care to dispense
for the benefit of their fellow-mortals.
Henry Johnson brought an aquarium
containing various fish that be had
taken from the Wissahickon Geek, Mrs.
Harriet Stsnnard arrived late, but bear
ing triumphantly huge hornets, nest,
which she said her little brother Willie
had found in Fishers woods while
nulting. In response to exclamations OF
alarm from several of the more timid
women present, she assured everyone
that the nest had been abandoned by the
hornets that had made it, aud that II
was "periectly harmless" Mrs. Stan.
nard placed the nest on a wlndowsill
over a steam radiator while she removed
her hat and coat. Contact with the heat
caused the hornets to get busy, and soon
hornet alighted upon a speakers nose
and created such an impression" upon
her that she fed, screaming from the
platform. An instant later a swarm ol
hornets poured out OF the abandoned
nest kindly contributed to the discussion
by Mrs. Staunard, and the meeting sd
iourned without formality.

Poyertv Drives Girl TO suicide.

Miss Emma Probst, an attractive
looking sirl, IS years old, applied at
the Allen & Giuter branch of the
American Tobacco Company's Works in
Richmond for employment and then went
to Forest Hill Park Yesterday and drown-
ed herself in the lake there. The body
was seen floating by two women, and
taken out by Special Officer Overton.
The girl was poorly but neatly dressed,
and on the bank near by was her bet,
her cloak, nicely folded, her gold-rim-
med eyeglasses and her pocketbook, con-
tanning $l.0l. In the pocketbook was
card bearing her name and address
Emma Probst, 10l Couts street. She
was blonde, of medium size and lived
with her mother and sister at the above
address. She formerly worked at the
Randolph paper box factory, and at
one time was book agent. She had a
card in her pocket signifying that she
had secured employment at the Allen q
Ginter factory at SO week, and was IN
strucied to report next Monday.
Poverty is the supposed cause OF her
suicide. She and her mother and sister
have had a hard time in making living.
The girl told a woman a few days age
that she owed a good deal of money and
that she was thinking of ending all her
troubles by suicide.

EIseing from Russia

With the arrival of the North German
Lloyd steamer Breslau at Baltimore comes
another story of the wholesale destruction
of the Russians by the japanese in the
war in the far East and the sudden de-
parture of the Czar'syoung men to other
countries. The war, according to some
who arrived on the vessel, has caused H.
describable fear to spread over the en-
tire Russian Empire, and hundreds are
leaving their homes to save their lives
every day. There were 500 Russians Of
in thesteerage Of the Breslau, and those
sho landed at Baltimore told horrible
stories of the slaughter and emphasized
the fact that the war is far from drawing
to close. One young man said that
the government had no mercy on those
old enough to 60 to the front, and even
those who show plainly that they are in
physical distress are forced to join the
ranks and are hustled off to the battle
fields that are stained with the blood of
thousands who have already beeL slain.
sIt is hopeless case" continued the
Russian, "and my government, from the
manner in which the armies have been
conducted, might as well quit lighting
and accede to the Japs." The steamer
,rriyed at New York few days ago, and
The greater number ofthe Russians land,
ed at I the petropolis. They all declared
that the, would never return to 'heil
native fand.

Another Question in Dispute.

Another contention which may come be-
fore the central body at its meeting to-
night is that referring to the proposed re-
organization of the Council of Allied Build
Ing Trades. A conference in regard to this
matter will be held at Typographical Tenn
pie, but in the meantime there are said to
be several preliminary matters thai re-
quire adjustment at the hands of the CEN
trail body. It is threatened. labor leader
stated today, that unless the central body
takes steps to force all the building trades
to affiliate with the council, certain build
ing trades will withdraw from membership
in the Central Labor Union.
A proposition has been made in this con-
nection by a prominent member of the
building trades branch which is that the
representatives, of the building trades get
together and organize council Of allied
building trades Independent Of the Central
Labor Union. This he added. will prevent
factional disturbance which Is threatened
between the building trades and the miscel-
laneous trades which are members of the
central body.
A lively war between these factions is
said to be threatened. as leaders of the
building trade bodies state that their or
Plantations will decline to be dictated to
or governed by the miscellaneous bodies.
In connection with the probable contest
tonight it is stated that the national body
Of steamf1tters is not affiliated with the
Federation of Labor and that 1t will refuse
to merge with the plumbers and gasfit-
tiers. The other national or international
bodies not afflliated with the federation are
