81. Petersburg, June 4.--Russian au-
thorities have not been advised by M.
Lessar, Russian Minister to China. OF
the proposal alleged to have been made
to China by japan, to hand over the
towns captured by the Japanese In
Manchuria to Chinese civil adnlinistra-

occupied by the Japanese does not
necessarily mean that 1t will remain

en-. 1t is understood that France would
view favorably the withdrawal OF some
of the American warships now at Tan

According to the French view, IL a

FRESHMEN AT ODDS
SERIOUS SPLIT THREATENED IN
 NATIONALIST PARTY.
Dillon and Sexton, with Their Follow ing, Threaten to sccede From Redmond, 0sBrien and
 the Rest. 4

London, Nov. I9.--The Irish National fist Party Is on the verge of serious split within its own ranks.
 Unless some amicable arrangement can be quickly arrived at, Messrs. Dill Ion and Sexton. with their personal fol- lowing. will secede from the leader ship of John Redmond. In this event Mir. Redmond will have the aggressive support of William OBrien, over whom a dispute has arisen.
 In recent speech in Ireland. Mir. Redmond Is said to have openly sided with Mir. oBrien and the Dillon Sex ton-Davitt faction. It Is stated on good authority that Mir. Redmond has been told that unless he withdraws his sup port from Mir. o'Brien. secession will result.
 No definite conclusion has been reached. but 1t is understood that Red mond prefers to throw in his lot with Mir. OBrien. In the event of the breach becoming definite 1t Is thought the party would at the moment be fairly evenly divided. Mir. o'Brien's tremend- ous popularity in the south being off, set by the influence of MT. Sexton's powerful organ, The Freeman's Jour nal, and the more radical following of Messrs. Davitt and Dillon.
 I Such a division would probably leave the following of Mir. Healy with what might become the balance of power and this. according to present indications. would be thrown in favor of Messrs. Redmond and O'Brien.
 The present internal crisis is the re- suit of the gradually increasing disa- greement over the action instigated by Mir. O'Brien and carried by MT. Red mond in their famous land purchase conference with the Irish landlords.
