St. Petersburg, April 21.-The Associa- ted Press is informed that no representa- tions have been made to Russia through the French embassy here on the subject of Admiral Rojestvensky' stay at ka- marnh bay. There is no direct telegraph line to Kamarnh bay and the fact of a violation of neutrality would have to be established before any definite response could be given by the French representa- tions on the subject made to Russia Ad- miral Delonquiers, the French naval com mander at Saigon has already sailed from there for the purpose of investigating the matter.
 The following statement on the subject was made:
 'If Rojestvensky is still in Kamarnh bay or contemplates remaining there until Nebogtoff joins his ships he will remain outside the three mile limit as he did during his long stay off Madagascar Ma turally Japan will file q cavet just as she would file one with the United States if Rojestvensky should approach the Phll- ippines.

 SECRETARY HlTcHcocK-Ex- PLANTATIONS UNSATISFACTORY.

Washington, April H.-Fred H. Wilson, acting superintendent, and seven clerks of the Indian warehouse in New York city, today were summarily dismissed from office by Secretary Hitchcock as the result of revelations made by an in- spection of the office by Indian Inspector NesIeF, who preferred charges of irreg- ularities in the conduct of the office, in- cluding Wilson's accounts in order to protect a number of employees, who were not performing any service for the gov ernment.
 This Wilson was unable to do by reason bursting agent for the warehouse There were fourteen persons on the payroll, while Inspector Nesler asserts that four or five were all that were necessary. Of those on the roll it is asserted that sev- eral were rendering no service what ever. One of them was barkeeper, who # is charged seldom visited the office. Wilson is said to have taken a somewhat prominent part in local politics in New York. and claimed to have been con nected with the republican national com mittee. He Is also said to have spent much of his time in Albany. Wilson's s office pays $1600 per annum, and has been held by him since the removal of Super intendent Robbins some year ago.

nH ONTREAL. April 21-The little
 M village of St. Genevieve is mourn ing tonight over the loss of four teen lives in fire which destroyed the convent of St. Anne there .early today. One nun, nine children. ranging in age from 10 to IS years, and four old women perished in the flames. Two nuns were so severly burned that it is feared they will die. In their grief over the catastrophe the villages find some comfort in relat- ing the heroism displayed by Sister Massie Adjuteur, who gave her life, and Sisters Marie Therese and Marie Robertine, who were perhaps fatally burned in their eff forts to save the lives of the children and helpless old women fin their charge.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-04-22

There is no organized fire protection in the village. The fire which started at an early hour in the morning was beyond control by the time the sleeping people could be aroused. A bucket brigade was formed but the efforts to check the flames were futile and the quaint old structure was reduced to ashes. Sisters Marie Therese and Marie Robertine were res- sued with difficulty from the hallway where they had fallen, overcome by the smoke and flames.
 Following is the revised list of dead and injured

Order the Diana pIsarmed.

Saigon, French Cochin China, April 21. Orders have been given for the dlsar- mament of the Russian crusier Diana which took refuge under one of the coast forts, August. 1904 She has undergone important repairs to essential portions of her machinery which now will be handed over to the French authorities here.
 Dispatches under date of September G., 1904, stated that the French minister at Tokio had informed the Japanese govern ment that the Russian cruiser Diana which sought refuge at Saigon Au- gust 10 after the battle off Port Arthur, would disarm. It appears from the fore going dispatch from Saigon that the dis armament of the Diana was not effective as the time previously indicated.

No Representations By England.

It was stated at the foreign office late this evening that no representations of any kind had been presented by Great Britain concerning neutrality At the same time it Is anticipated that some such representations will be made. The fact that the British ambassador has given up his Easter holiday and will return to Paris tonight. after a conference with Foreign Secretary Lansdowne, appears to support this view. However, the cordial relations existing between France and Great Britain would doubtless modify any representations so as to relieve them from serious significance. Anything like an en- ergetic protest from Great Britain at this time would be deeply wounding to French sensibility, who -elies on the Anglo French entente as b sounterpoise to Ger |i xs. menaces over Morocco.

 New York. April 21 1905
 Dear sirs :-The object upon which you have addressed me involves the con sideration of the whole unhappy eontro- versy which has been in progress for several months past. The injurious effect of that controversy upon your fortunes, l appreciate, and l can we'll understand your strong desire to promote some ae- tion that will bring 1t to an end In that controversy, l feel that 1 have been treated with great injustice, and that no one has such serious cause for complaint as l have. So far as any good results could be served by the resignation of any officer responsible for the injury which tho society has suffered. and is doubtless to suffer in the future. your request is misdrected.

Followed By New Demands.

Although it was represented that this important concession would assure perm anent peace for the society, it was fol- lowed by new demands to which I again acceded in the belief that faith would at last be kept and peace restored When I was told that these concessions which had been secured from me because of my loyalty to the society. and on the re- peated assurances given to the board of directors and to me that they would, if granted be accepted as complete set clement. we are simply means to the

Should Not Be Over Directors.

"1 can understand the desire of your body for naturalization, but I have never believed, and l do not now believe, that a system of control which virtually places the agents over the directors and officers. Is sound In principle. As the threshold Of this matter and before any public contro- versy had arisen, 1t was, however urged on me that there was a genuine de- sire on the part of the poieyholders that they be given the right to vote for direc- tors Therefore, notwithstanding my own view on the subject and in order to meet this desire of the policyholders and to give time for the consideration of the proper method of bringing this about. offered to place my stock in the hands of trustees for five years to be voted in ac- cordance with the direction of the board of directors. I could hardly Lave given stronger evidence of my solicitude for the welfare of tho society.
 This offer was not accepted. The au- thors of the conspiracy made impossible demands. Finally, although I was ad- vised by eminent counsel that the power of control of the stock could not be law fully taken away without the consent of its holders. either by the board or by the legislature, l consented SO far as my stock interests were concerned, that the policy holders should elect twenty-eight of the nfty-two directors of the society. This concession was intended for the benefit of the policyholders but in practical ef- feet as 1 then feared and now believe. it was the purpose that the concessions by me should be utilized for the benefit and account of the instigators of this move ment, who proposed to erect a constitu- ency of agents to control the votes of poli- cyholders. This belief is confirmed by the extraordinary proceedings at your re- cent meetings in this city ir whcl the power dominating the meetings was quite apparent.
