ASKS RETURN FAVOR.
Chinese Government Wants Easier I'M
migration Laws for British Columbia

VICTORIA, B. c.. March 22-The Brit
ish Columbia government has learned from
London that the Chinese government has
made proposition to the British govern
ment to the effect that the Chinese govern
ment, having agreed to restrain it's sub
jeets from emigrating to the Transvaal,
asks the British government to allow Chi
nese immigration into British Columbia un-
der very much easier conditions than now
prevail, and limiting at the abrogation of
the $500 head tax now imposed by the do
rinien government.
The members of the provincial govern
ment interviewed today say that this is the
first time that they have heard of the mat
ter, but that to them 1t appears absolutely
preposterous. The question Is an imperial.
not dominion or provincial one The
ministers say that no such interference
with the Chinese immigration laws of this
country could be tolerated, but they do not
believe that anything of the kind is con-
templated by the royal government.

CAUSING MUCH ALARM
Threatening Attitude Of Chi
nese Army Near Mukden.
CHINA'S SHIPS APPEAR
ACTIVITY OF CELESTIAL TROOPS
ALARMING TO RUSSIANS.
West Side of Gulf of Liao-Tung Held
by Neutrals - Conflicts With
Bandits Destroys Secrecy.
JHINA'S SHIPS APPEAR

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March pa cablegram
from st. Petersburg says: The threatening
attitude Of the Chinese army west of Muk-
den is causing serious alarm to General
Linevitch, In command of the Russian
troops in Manchuria.
General Mas 5000 men have moved east
from Sin Min Thun, and are now holding
Liaou river, twenty-five miles west OF
Mukden. Another division Of his soldiers,
under General Ii Wing, has moved north
from the railroad at Kin Chow, and it is
believed the ultimate intention is to join
the division west of Mukden.
What Is more alarming to General Line
witch, however, is the sudden appearance
of Chinese warships in the Gulf of Lao
tung.
The west side of the gulf Is wholly in
possession of the Chinese empire and the
east side, as well as the north, at Neu-
chwang. is part of the territory on which
the Russians are endeavoring to prevent an
invasion by the japanese.
General Linevitch has informed the
Russian minister at Peking that his SOL
diers are compelled to engage in conflicts
with well armed Chinese bandits, and that
protests to General Ma for exclusion Of
bandits has been unavailing.
The situation is serious for Russia, whose
secret service system has entirely broken
down in the field.
Ito's Mission to Korea.
A cablegram from Tokyo says: The En-
peror Of Korea was greatly reassured by
Marquis Ito's tactful attitude and desires
that he make longer stay in the capital
The Korean court-feted envoy had been
commissioned to present to the Korean
government numerous propositions with
which it might be difficult to comply
When he was asked his opinion Ito sug-
gesTed that sudden reforms in Korea should
be avoided and especially that radical
change in or expansion of the military sys-
tenn be postponed.
AS to reform of civil administra ton
Marquis Ito advised that a system of ma
tonal education be first undertaken other
reforms to follow gradually.
His Movements Watched.
Foreign representatives in Seoul watched
the ENJOYS movements closely. They ex-
pected a repetition of the strong measures
taken in 1895. They were surprised at the
brevity of Ito's stay and the lack of any
manifestation on his attitude toward pro-
tectorate.
1t is evident the Japanese will profit by
the experience of ten years ago, and. while
doing all that is possible to cement friendly
relations with Korea will not stop with ad-
vice should Korea fail to adopt reasonable
suggestions.

HERR BEBEL, SOCIALIST.
Striking Personality Of Undisputed
Dictator-Old Letter Creates Sensation.

BERLIN, March 22-Striking as Is the
personality of Herr Ferdinand August
Bebel the socialist leader in the reichstag,
the public appears to know little about the
psychological stages through which he has
travelled before he became the undisputed
dictator of 100000 voters and the most
redoubtable opponent of the existing gov
ernmental system.
A great sensation has accordingly been
created by letter written by Herr Bebel
forty years ago which some one has handed
over to the Cologne Gazette for publica ton.
The letter displays the fiery socialist
equally with the ardent nationalist at this
period Of the struggle for unity and liberty
and as the opponent of the then leading
socialist, Lasalle.
AS chairman of the Leipsic Workmen's s
Educational Society, Herr Bebel wrote to
the president of the German National So
ciety protesting against the hindrances op-
posed to "the struggle for national unity
and social freedom by the agitation of
Lasalle's followers.
The letter also displays Herr Bebel as a
firm believer in the consumers associa-
tfons, the savings associations, etc., and in
it he strenuously denounces 1.-THE heresy of
state aid. which,. to use his words, "nnis-
take 1t not would plunge not only the
workingmen, but all society also, into an
abyss of destruction adding the warning
that this poisonous, seditious error would
seep into the minds Of the masses and pre-
pare the way for those who are only wait
ing the opportunity to unfurl 1.-THE red BAN
ner of communism. with all it's horrors
This agitation to which Herr Bebel refers
was pursued particularly in Saxony and
in his letter he says it was high time ito
put forcible stop to this business"
The national society adopted Herr Bebels
suggestions, as far as lay in its power, by
organizing a counter agitation, for which
Herr Bebel wrote thanking the entire
press, except the Vorwarts. which this
morning reprints the socialist leaders let

gestion prevails on the Trans-Siberian rail-
way. owing to the efforts of the authorities
to get troops and ammunition to the far
east. There is great anxiety in naval cir
cles owing to the inability to ship coal
to Port Arthur and Vladivostok. The cause
is the inability to obtain freight cars, as
the latter are devoted to the transportation
of troops. Large supplies of coal are await
ing transportation at the mines, but 1t is
impossible to get cars.
American and British military and naval
attaches who have been detailed to watch

ing able to fulfill their mission is extremely
dubious at present.
