RESERVATIONS to the Chinese govern
ment on the subject of the Japanese
military instructors in the service of
China and the Japanese officers with
General Mas army, demanding the
issuance Of orders for their dismissal,

their continued presence where they
are as being q most serious threat to
her. 1t Is pointed out that without
the consent of the Picking government
the Japanese officers who are with
General Ma, who is now north of the
great wall, easily can obtain dominant
influence over the Chinese troops and

BRAKES REFUSED TO WORK.

Santa Barbara, CAL, April 12.-Five
persons were killed and over twenty
injured in street car accident at the
intersection of Garden and Mission
streets. A heavily loaded car ran of
the track.
Over half of the injured had bones
broken and not a few of them suffered
serious fractures of the skull.
The accident was due to q defect in
the brake apparatus. as was revealed
upon an inspection Of the car after the
accident. While the rear brakes were
tightly set against the wheels the for
ward brakes were Of NO service be-
cause Of the breaking OF q part Of the
soaring. The motorman discovered

that something was wrong with the
car several blocks above the point
where the accident occurred and en-
deavored 70 set the brakes, but failed
to check the speed of the car. At the
intersection of Garden and Mission
streets there is a very abrupt curve
and the car was moving at its highest
speed down a per cent grade when
the curve was reached. The car was
thrown from the track upon its side.
One section of the car was smashed
into splinters. Those who were in
stantly killed and many of those who
were most seriously injured were
standing ON the guard rail on the side
of the car as it crashed into the
ditch.

explanation has been issued of the fir
ing Of the guns from the forts here
Sunday night, which caused a certain
amount of. excitement and the killing
Of two Chinese.
It appears from the Official state
ment that owing to the fact that the
officers of the garrison did not under
stand the system of customs fash sig
mails in use at the mouth of the river,
for the purpose Of signalling the
depth of the water on the bar SO as to
enable ships to put to sea, fire was
opened at some pilotboats and out
ward bound merchantmen.
These vessels were sighted by the
forts some time after midnight and at
1880 the artillery opened fire on the
vessels, twenty-four shots being fired,
including protectiles from large guns
The effect of the fire had not been re-
ported up to noon, but the firing caused
excitement among the troops, during
which sentry fired on and killed two
Chinese. The Chinese had become
alarmed at the firing and were en-
deavoring to cross the river. r.
In view Of the, reports received here
Of Japanese activity In Korea and of
the arrival of Japanese troops on the
Yalu river it Is understood that the
troops of the garrison had been fully
warned that 1t was possible the Jap
anese would make an attack on this
place and the citizens, on hearing the
firing, naturally supposed that the at.
tempt was being made Sunday night.

RUSSIAN TROOPS FALL BACK.
Japanese Troops Reported in Force on the
North Bank of the Yalu River.

Chefoo, April 12.-Reports, apparent.
" on good authority, reached here dur
ing the day that the Japanese are now
In some force on the north bank of
the Yalu river and that the Russians
are falling back toward Fenghuang-
cheng. - a.
According to these reports Japan
csc force consisting of two brigades
Of infantry, with some cavalry and
Held guns, crossed the river at Kwau-
phien, to the east of the Russian posi-.
ton, meeting with practically no op-
position.
It cannot be verified that q landing
Of a big Japanese force has been made
In Takushan, but it is generally be-
heved this is SO and that an attack
will soon be made from the east on
Antung. the key Of the Russian posi-
ton on the Yalu.
This attack would be followed, nat
urally, by an attempt to cross the
river at Wiju. 1t is believed here that
this is what has caused the Russian
abandonment of the Yalu river, ii the
report is true.
General Kuropatkin is proceeding on
IN inspection tour of the outposts
along the Yalu river.
General Rennenkampffs Cossack
division. numbering 10000 men, has
arrived on the upper Yalu.
The Fourth army corps reached Har-
bin, ten days ago.

Washington, April 1.-THE United
States supreme court has deci ed the
case OF the State Of Minnesota vs.. the
Northern Securities company and the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
Railway companies, involving the
validity of the merger of the two rail-
road companies, holding that it was
without jurisdiction and reversing the
opinion of the court below.
Justice Harlan, who delivered the
opinion, said that the circuit court
should not have entertained jurisdic-
ton in the case, the effect being to
remand the case to the state courts.
In delivering the opinion of the court
Justice Harlan cited the facts bearing
on the origin and history Of the case,
saying that originally the suit was in.
stituted by the state in its own court,
but before an opinion could be reached
there it was, on petition or the Seculi-
ties company, transferred to the cir.
cult court OF the district of Minnesota
by which court it was dismissed
Much controversy arose over the right
to remove to the federal court and
after hearing the case argued once the
supreme court ordered a second hear
ing on that point.
Justice Harlan called attention tt
the fact that the proceeding was fol
the purpose of enforcing both the
state laws and the federal antitrust
act, saying that the circuit court coull
not have taken Jurisdiction if only thu
state statutes had been involved.
Federal Law Not involved.
Taking up the federal law and an
alyZing its provisions he said it wa
clear that the case did not belong t.
any of the clauses provided for by it
1T is he said, mot criminal pro
ceeding; nor suit in equity in tn
name OF the United States to RESTRAIN
violations of the antitrust act; nor
proceeding in the name of the Unite
States for the forfeiture of property
nor an action by any person or col
poration for the recovery of threeio
damages for injury done to bushes
or property by some other person o
