RUSSIANS CONCERNED
OVER THE CHINESE.

st. Petersburg. May 15.-In view of
the official dispatches regarding the
hostile attitude of the Chinese within
and without the Russian sphere of in
fluence, the authorities here do not
conceal their apprehension as to the
outlook, especially in the north of the
empire, for they purpose to call the
attention of the Celestial government
to the impending uprising on Tapad-
zia tsi in order that repfessive meas
ures may be instantly taken.
1t is known and appreciated here
that all the powers have made strong
representations to Pekin in the inter
est of the preservation of the tranquil
ity of the empire, but it is stated that
Maj. Gen. Plugs dispatch of May IA
shows the necessity for further i'm
pressing the Celestial government with
the advisability of acting with a firm
hand.
The authorities here do not forget
that the Boxer revolt, which spread
from Shan Tung would have involved
the entire empire had it not been for
the firmness of the southern viceroys.
The military authorities in st. Peters
burg claim to have information of a
sensational character to the effect that
operate with the Japanese operations
against the Russians. The Japanese
propose, II is stated, to drive Gen.
Kuropatkins forces into Mongolia,
which would place the Russians in the
position of invaders of neutral terri
tory and enable reprisals by Gen. Mas
army, which, it is asserted. is kept in
that region for the special object, thus
cleverly averting the slightest in
"a. Is ~.
by Japan and the Chinese troops, by
not crossing the Manchurian frontier,
could not be charged with a violation
of pledges in respect to the non-inter-
ference in military operations in Man
churia.
The opinion OF an eminent strategist
given to the Associated Press to-day Is
that the Japanese intend to control
not only Lao Tung, but all along the
line in an effort to drive Gen. Kuro-
patkin into Mongolia, where the Chi
nese are waiting for him.
Knowing these conditions, Gen. Ku-
ropatkin, he said, would not be likely
to make a serious resistance at Kali
Ping or Hai-Cheng, but would with
draw to the north. This would enable
the Japanese TO march on New Chwang
with little hindrance. and give them a
base from which men and supplies
could be sent north without any vio-
lation of the neutral zone west of the
Lao river.
The German Foreign Office has been
informed, according to assurances CIV
en- the Berlin correspondent of the No
voc Vremya, that China will not ven
tue to infringe the neutrality as, ow-
ing to the distinct intimation from all
the Powers, the dynasty would be
jeopardized by such infringement. 1t
is believed that Japan would be en-
barrassed by the open assistance OF
China, since Europe would hold Japan
responsible for the consequences.
The correspondent asserts that the
German Foreign Office inspired the
United States to propose the neutraliz-
alton OF China.

NATIVE IRREGULARS
DEFEATED BRIGANDS.

New Chwang, May ia band of
brigands was attacked about mile
and a half southeast of this city last
night by a number of native irregu-
lars, the fight being witnessed by the
correspondent of the Associated Press.
Three of the brigands were killed and
two mortally wounded by the natives,
who were not assisted by the Russian
troops.
The Russians are offering splendid
pay for natives as railroad guards,
which would enable them to place more
fighting men in the field, but the Chi
nese are not accepting the offer.
A Chinese engineer reports thirty
miles of the railroad crippled within
the past twenty-four hours between
Hsingye and Wafan Tien.
The total number of Japanese troops
landed at Pitsewo amounts to 10000.
Russian officer, who will not al
low his name to be mentioned. in
formed the Associated Press that the
Russian plan is to retreat to Hardin
and remain there until home troops
arrive and then make a quick and de-
cisive campaign southwark. The late
summer rains commence soon and then
campaigning will be all but impossi-

FOR BISHOPS PLACES.

Northern Methodists.


Northern MethOdists.
Los Angeles, Cal, May 15.-To-day
was welcomed by the delegates to the
Methodist General Conference as a day
of rest after a week of continuous ses-
sions. While enough visiting bishops
and ministers volunteered their serv-
ices to the pulpit supply committee to
fill every church in the city and
suburban towns at both morning
and evening services, the great body
of delegates rested and talked over the
events of yesterdays session of the
conference.
The proceedings at yesterdays ses-
sion of the general conference, when a
vote was taken upon the retirement of
five bishops, furnished a live topic of
discussion among the delegates to-day.
The general opinion of the delegates is
that when the report is given to-mor-
row morning it will show a decided
majority in favor of the report of the
Episcopacy Committee recommending
the retirement of Bishops Vincent,
Walden, Andrews, Mallalieu and FoSs.
1t is quite likely that the election of
eight, possibly more, bishops will take
place during the present week. The
day has not ben decided upon, but it
is generally believed that it will be
Wednesday or Thursday.
Other matters that will come before
the conference this week are: Action
of the Methodist Church upon divorce,
consolidation of the various branches
of the book concern, limiting the ten
ure of pastorates, placing the church
on record in the matter of amusement,
viz, dancing. card playing. theater 60
ing, ETC., and many other matters that
have been brought up in memorials
from different conferences.
The number of candidates for bish-
ops grows daily and no less than thir
ty-five names are now mentioned in
this connection.

funds while acting as county school
commissioner of Gordon county, will
arrive in Atlanta tomorrow to give
himself up to the Prison Commission

Congressional Candidates.
In the congressional districts,
Aiken, Jos. T. Johnson and A. r.

possible that a candidate or candi-
dates may appear against Mr.. Johnson.
Congressman w. D. Scarborough will
be opposed by State Senator j. w.
Ragsdale of Florence and the name
of ex-Congressman James Norton of
Marion has been mentioned in the same
connection. Mr.. Scarborough will be
a very difficult man to defeat. Mr.. 7.
Y. Williams of Lancaster a MEM

Congressman D. E. Finley. and there
may be other candidates in that dis
trict. In the Second district young
Mr.. 7. G.. Croft has been nominated
