die between the end walls. The high steeple Of
St PauIs Church was blown down the wind

which the graceful spire rested.
New fats i'm Richmond were demolished. roofs
were blown of schools and sidewalks and
streets were Uttered with fences. signs and
chimueys

upon the beach tore away trees and shrubs
leaving new coast line. on the bay the water
was lashed into n fury. Small boats We're put

The Russians again displayed their ability to

According 70 COrpau reports. the Japanese

Russia has served notice on China that she
must keep her troops within the great wall
and keep the bandits in order. Russia will
consider that there has been breach Of neu-

St Petersburg has an idea that. If Iapans

RUSSIA W1RNS CHINA.
Troops Must BE Kept Within Great
y Tail and Bandits Restrained.

st. Petersburg. March 1O-Russia has served
notice on China that the latter must not send
troops beyond the Great Wall. and that she
must exercise her influence to restrain the Chi
nese bandits who are partly under the control
OF Chinese officers from interfering with the
railroad and telegraph lines. A refusal to heed
this warning will be considered a breach OF neu-
trstity.
Paris. March 1O-It is officially confirmed that
the Russian Minister at Peking has made firm
representations to the Chinese government con-
cerning the activity of Chinese troops along thu
Manchurian froatier. with a pointed intimation
Of the defensive measures Russia may be COM
PEELED 70 adopt. The substance OF the repre-
sentatiOns follows:
Russia has taken cognizance OF the presence
OF considerable forces OF Chinese troops along
the frontier. For the present it is recognized
that these forces are independent OF the direct
authority and control Of the imperial govern
rnent which therefore. is not responsible for
their presence. But the fact OF their presence Is
called 70 the attention of the imperial govern
ment. and. should their continuance on the
frontier lead to depredations and acts Of law
Iessness Russia will take the measures neces-
sary 70 safeguard her interests.
The foregoing Is not the literal text. but the
purport Of the terms Of the representations.
The Chinese troops referred to are those OF
General Ma and General Yuan-Shi-Kat the
cor1rnander-in-chief The latter is the vicerov
Of Chilli province. and his troops originally
were organized by LI-Hung-Ch Therefcre.
they are subject to provincial instead Of I'm
periaI control II is understood here that Vice
roy Alexien will be 1ntrusted with formulating
repressive measures il the depredatiOns spread
70 the extent Of endangering Russian interests.
report just received here through official
military channels describes the Chinese forces
marching nOrthward as being undisciplinsd
end almost grotesque military organization.
showing an entire absence Of equipment and
training. 1t Is the impression here that the
Chinese are unable 70 give the Russians serious
trouble on the ManChurian border. except by
pillaging and harrying. thus compelling the
maintenance OF a considerable Russian fOrcs
along the border.

REMMEL DISCUSSES
 NEGRO PLANK.
Doesn't Anticipate Attempt to Reduce Representation of South in National
 Congress.

Hon. H. L. Remmel, chairman of the Republican State Central committee, who was one of the Big Four to the national conven- tien, when questioned about the so-called negro plank in the Re- publican platform, he said to a A Little Rock Democrat reporter:
 Tt is nothing more than 2 de-
 )and for a congressional inquiry I ito franchise conditions in the Jouth, and 1 believe it is rather X Jpacifcatory than menacing, and J do not think anything will really ever come of it. The southern Republicans have been fighting for their lives in the national conventions for the last ten years. The northern Republi- cans have been demanding that our representation be cut down in the national convention, hold ing that in some cases district accredited with only 5000 Re- publican votes in southern state would be entitled to two delegates, the same as for a dis trict in some northern state with 200, GOO vo5es. But the southern Republican, have stood up man. fully and fought this proposition that we should be slaughtered and disfranchised in the house of our friends simply because we are disfranchised by the Demo- crats of the south. We have pointed out the inconsistency of cutting down our representation in the national conventions, un- less it also be reduced in con- gress and the electoral college. I do not consider that this will ever be done, but some of the northern Republicans who have heard our arguments secured the insertion of this plank in order to bring about an investigation of what the conditions are. That is all there is in it."

AN IDEAL CELEBRATION.

Notwithstanding the inclem- ency of the weather by 10 o'clock there were a goodly number of people gathered on the grounds at McLain's mill, a mile and half south of Newport, to cele- brate the Fourth, and a glorious day it was for all present. Every body was sgood natured and jolly and all appeared to have a good time.
