New-Chwang. Aug. "a large depot of army
supplies has been established by the Japanese
at the old Russian railroad station. Two thou
sand troops are kept on guard there. japanese
transports and hospital ships are expected here
hourly
The status of the local branch of the Russo
Chinese Bank has not yet been settled. This
bank organized and financed by the Rus
sian government to further Russian interests in
Manchura and the Far East. 1t is under the
control of the Russian government and has a
strong foothold in China and Manchuria. The
bank has at present over 500O0OOO rUbes
loaned in New-Chwang. It is considered here
that Japan will regard the bank as the property
Of the Russian government, and its assets and
profits in Manchuria to be legitimate spOils Of
war in lieu of indemnity, The first evidence Of
this possibility is shown by the fact that the
Japanese flag IS flying over the bank prop
erty.
Up to the present time :he japanese authori-
ties have refused 10 recognize the French Con-
sular Agent here. 10 whom Russia has trans

austrian and Hungarian Govcrn-
meRtS at Odds.

Vienna, Aug. 2.-The fight between the Cunard
and German lines IS said TO have led 70 con-
fict between the Hungarian and Austrian gov
ernments. which. it is feared, may seriously at
feet the commercial relations Of the halves OF
the monarchy.
The Austro-HungaTian Line recently has
taken from Fium4 large shipments of corn and
sugar, thereby materially damaging the business
Of the Adria Line. which Is allied with the
Cunard Line. The Adria Line tkereupon asked
the Hungarian government to make representa-
tons TO Vienna This was DONE the Hungarian
Ministry pointing out that the Austro-A American
Line competition was contrary 10 the existing
understanding between the Two countries
The Austrian government replied that the
CUnard Line treaty disrega-ded the existing
agreement. and that therefore the Hungarian
government was solely responsible for the conse-
Quences
The Hungarian Ministry of Commerce has now
resolved 10 introduce special combined rail and
ocean freight rates IN connection with the Hun
garlan railroads and the Adrla Line which viii
give the latter a practical monopoly of the
Hungarian grain and sugar freigh-s. TIE new
rates are said 20 be already prepared.
