RUSSIA'S WARNING
Is GIVEN TO CHINA.

Paris, March lot is officially con-
firmed that the Russian minister at
Pekin has made firm representations
to the Chinese government concern
ing the activity of Chinese troops
along the Manchurian frontier, with a
pointed intimation of the defensive
measures Russia may be compelled to
adopt. The substance of the repre-
sensations follows:
Russia has taken cognizance of the
presence of considerable forces of Chi
nese troops along the frontier. For the
present it is recognized that these
forces are independent of the direct
authority and control of the imperial
government, which, therefore, is not
responsible for their presence. But the
fact of their presence is called to the
attention of the imperial government,
and should their continuance on the
frontier lead to depredations and acts
of lawlessness, Russia will take the
measures necessary to safeguard her
interests"
1t is understood here that Viceroy
Alexieff will be entrusted with formu-
lating the repressive measures, if the
depredations spread to the extent of
endangering Russian interests.

LORD ROSEBERRY RESENTED
LANGUAGE OF LORD BALFOUR
Former Premier Alluded to the Incumbent as
Pretty Fanny in the House of Lords.

London, March 10.-An extraordinary
scene disturbed the customary decorum
of the House of Lords this evening.
In a recent debate in the House of
Commons, Premier Balfour had used
the word, "calumny' with reference
to some statement made by Lord Rose
berry in the fiscal controversy. When
the House of Lords met to-day Lord
Rosebery asked Lord Landsdowne what
justification existed for the Premier's
use of such a word.
Lord Lansdowne admitted the Pre-
mier had used the word in the heat of
debate. He said he thought the cir
cumstances justified some warmth on
the part of the Premier, but that he
had consulted with Mr.. Balfour. who
told him that he did not desire to i'm
pute to Lord Rosebry deliberate at
tempt to misrepresent him.

0UIETING DOWN

THAT ARE ON DUTY.

II Is Not Believed That Any More
tain Order-NcgrO Arrested for
seeking to Inclte the Negroes OF
springfield to Acts of ReprisaI.
He Did Not Succeed in Stirring Tn
the Feeling He Had Expected.
Springfield, o., March 1O.-The race
disturbances which have terrorized the
town for the last three days as the re-
suit of the murder of Patrolman Coils
and the subsequent lynching of the
negro Dixon who shot Coils, are held
we'll in check by the eighteen COM
panies of state militia, and the au-
thorities are of the opinion, at o'clock
tonight, that no more troops will be
needed to control the situation.
Both Chief of Police O'Brien and
Sheriff Routzahn believe, however,
that it would be a mistake to materi-
ally decrease the number of troops
now on hand. There are unmistakable
signs that there is an ugly feeling on
the part of the men and the boys
-OI
last three days, and the authorities
realize that the shooting of either a
white man or negro, or even a street
fight between the opposite races, would
be sufficient to start the mob again
on killing and burning expedition.
This evening the police arrested a
negro claiming Cincinnati as his home
and giving Y. w. Smith as his name
He was accompanied by several
strange negroes, and wherever they
could gain an audience of one or more
negroes on the street they read a
highly infiammatory typewriter paper
urging the negroes to avenge the
lynching of Dixon and to apply the
torch to the white business and resi-
dence districts in retaliation for the
burning of the negro quarters on the
levee.
The police, however, do not fear
trouble from the native negro. as
this portion of the colored population
has been prompt all day to keep the
police in touch with any signs of an
uprising on the part of strange ne
groes.
In the opinion of City Solicitor Ia
tum, neither the city or county can be
held responsible for the burning of the
Levee district by the mob. 1t is an
admitted fact that, while public senti-
ment is against the means employed
to put the negro out of the way, there
is universal rejoicing that he is dead
and it is realized that it will be ex-
tremely difficult to secure a jury that
Will assess more than nominal dam
ages, if any at all. While a special
grand jury will sit Monday to inves-
tigate the lynching, it is thought that
it will be impossible to indict either
the leaders of the mob which did the
lynching or the subsequent burning.
An immense throng of people was in
and about st. Raphaers Church to-
day to attend the funeral service of
Charles Coils, the murdered police
man. The best of order prevailed and
Father Buckeyes sermon made no ref
erence to the way in which Coils met
his death.
