RAISES SERIOUS QUESTION.
Action of Russia in Depriving Consuls
Of Their Power.

OF nCIF fONSTs
Washington, March 30.-Minister
Conger has cabled the state depart
ment from Picking that the Russian
authorities have declared martial law
at Newchwang and have formally mott
fed all foreigners.
Mr.. Conger's message makes no ref
erence to the reported hauling down
of foreign flags by the Russians. The
officials here assume that if this has
been done it simply means that Russia
has assumed the responsibility for the
protection of foreign property not be-
longing to the belligerents and that no
effort will be- made to interfere with
the consular flags. Nor does Mr.. Con-
ger refer to the reported notice from
the Russian authorities at NeWchwang
to the consuls that they may no longer
exercise consular jurisdiction and con-
sular functions, especially extra-terri-
torial Jurisdiction. 1t is said that if
any such action has been taken it will
raise a very serious question, for the
consuls exercise their power in this
treaty port under treaty stipulation
with sovereign power which is not
party to the war. 1t is not recalled
! moreover, that it has been customary
In time of war for belligerent to un
dertake to deprive consuls of their
functions.

RUSSIAN ACTION is UPHELD.

Paris, March 3O.-The removal by
the Russian authorities of British and
American flags at Newchwang is caus-
ing a lively discussion in the press
here. The general opinion supports
Russia's right to administer New
chwang militarily. The officials here
share the same view.
The Russian embassy points out that
the negotiations following the presen-
tation of Secretary Hays note on
China left Manchuria within the zone
of military operations and they say
that the substitution of military for
-, authority followed as a result Of

the military regime in Manchuria.
It is also pointed out that Russia
gave notice to the foreign govern
ments before laying torpedoes In the
harbor of Newchwang and gave notice
also of other defensive measures. 1t
is maintained that since this brought
no protest Russia's right to adopt all
the necessary defensive measures is
conceded M. Nelidoff, the Russian
ambassador, has delivered such no.
tice to Foreign Minister Delcasse and
it is understood that all the other Rus
sian ambassadors have acted SIM
uarly.

JAPANESE TRY NEW TRICK. +
Send Out Explosives on Pieces Of

st. Petersburg, March 30.-Rnmors
have reached here that during the
latest attack on Port Arthur the Jap
anese endeavored to float some high
explosives into the harbor on in
nocent looking bits of wreckage, but
the plan was frustrated by the bravery
of volunteers. 1t is believed that the
Japanese are bombarding Port Arthur
with such persistency because they
are desperately anxious to land a
large body Of troops at some point
near Newchwang and that, fearing the
Russian feet, they are at wits end as
to how they shall proceed with their

Seoul, March 30.-A report has
reached here that fifty Japanese and
one hundred Cossacks were killed and
wounded in skirmish that occurred
between ANU and Chongju.
Chongju is about twenty-five miles
northwest of Anju and about forty
miles from Wiju. The latter town is
situated on the Korean side of the
Yalu river and it is known to be held
by strong force of Russians.
The report Of the fight shows that
the Japanese, whose main body was
last reported at Anju, is continuing 70
advance and now is getting in touch
with strong forces of Russians.

ORIGINATED From Accidents.

It is curious to note that many things
which have turned out most useful
discoveries for man, having great in
fuence upon the lives and destinies
of mankind, owe their beginning to
some slight accident. 1t is said that
the art of printing took it's origin from
some rude impressions taken for the
amusement of children) from letters
carved on the bark of beech tee.
Gunpowder was discovered from the
falling of a spark on some materials
mixed in mortar. The stupendous re-
suits Of the steam engine may all be
traced to the boy who sat watching the
steam which came from the nose Of
teakettle. Electricity was discovered
by a person observing that piece of
rubbed glass attract small bits of
paper. Pendulum clocks were invent
ed after Calico stood observing the
lamp in a church swinging to and
fro. The telescope we owe to some
children of a spectacle maker placing
two or more pairs Of spectacles before
each other, and looking through them
at the distant sky. Their idea was
followed up by older heads.
