WILL RETAIN THE ROAD.
American Stockholders Of the Hankow;
Canton Line Reconsider Action.

Sir Chentung Liang cheng, the Chinese
minister. has been informed that Mr.. j.
Pierpont Morgan and the other Americans
interested in the Hankow-Canton railway
have bought back their stock in the road,
and the minister has advised his govern
ment of the fact, with the recommendation
that the franchise be not Cancelled. The
Chinese popuiace in the section through
which the railroad runs became greatly
aroused at the passing of the stock from
American to other, and what they feared
would prove less friendly, control. and We're
bringing pressure to bear upon the Peking
government to cancel the franchise. The
American stockholders, upon hearing that
the franchise would be Cancelled If they
disposed of a majority of the Shares, recon-
sidered their decision and haYe again OBJ
tanned possession of greater part of the
stock.
The Chinese minister in Washington, it is
said, is using his influence with his govern
ment TO prevent the cancellation Of the
franchise. He said today that he had re-
ceived no inquiry from the Chinese vice
roy on the subject, and of course he has no
power to cancel the contract, even If he
We're requested to do So, as has been re-
2orted.

RUSSIA MAKES PROTEST
COMPLAINS OF CHINESE VIOLA
TIoN OF NEUTRALITY.

Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador.
called at the State Department today 20
talk with Secretary Hay respecting the
formal and general protest made by Russia
against alleged violations of neutrality by
China during the present war. The ambas-
sador had been informed by his government
by cable that the full text of the Russian
circular note or protest was now on its
way to him, and he was instructed to sub
NIT it to Secretary Hay upon receipt.
The fact that such a note has been dis
patched to the powers was referred to IN
the cablegrams from st. Petersburg pub
lished this morning, but the details of the
note, which are regarded as of great i'm
portance. are not treated. 1t is known that
the note is not confined in scope to general
allegations of violations of neutrality by
China, but that it sets out specifically
number of cases upon which complaint IS
based.
The nature of these can only be conjec-
tured here, at this moment, but it is believed
that the complaints are based principally
upon the attitude during the present strug-
gle of the Chinese military and civil
officials in Manchuria. and particularly
upon their alleged failure to prevent the
wholesale recruiting of Chinese brigands
for service with the japanese and in the
destruction of Russian lines of communica-
ton by predatory bands of Chinese irregu-
lars in the neighborhOod or the Mongollan
frontier.
Upon the first announcement OF Russia s
intention to file this protest 1t was appre-
hended here that it might be the forerun-
ner of some positive action on the part OF
Russia which would vitiate the agreement
entered into between the belligerents at
the outbreak of the war to restrict host1li-
ties to a certain wel-defined area, which
undertaking was effected through the
United States government, with the hearty
cooperation of the powers and of China.
Now however, the belief obtains that the
action of Russia in dispatching this note
to the powers is intended, not 10 indicate
immediate action toward obllging China to
remedy the matter complained of at pres
ent but rather to have on file record OF
a grievance against the Chinese government
which can be brought mp for consideration
at the conclusion of hosulities. and during
the negotiations. which will effect a per-
manent settlement of the eastern question.

Party on Sinking Schooner Rescued
bv British Steamer.

The United States consul at Havre,
France. has reported to the Department of
State the abandonment at sea, on the even
ing of December 15 1904, in latitude 30 de-
grees minutes north, longitude 80 degrees

companionways washed off the after-house
by heavy seas. and the cabin flooded. The
schooner had been at the mercy of the
wind and waves for four days when the
British steamer Anglo-Chilian came along
and rescued the party On the sinking
schooner composed OF Captain William Nell
son, his wife and five men.
Captain James Johnson Of the rescuing
steamer did everything possible fer the
comfort and welfare of the rescued party,
giving up his cabin for the use of Mrs.

100. With regard to the new contemplated
project, the army general hospital. for
which $4OO 600 is asked, Quartermaster Cen
eral Humphrey says that it would serve as
a base hospital around which, in time of
war; temporary wards might be erected
without delay to any extent, and at mini
mum expense.
He says in his note that ION the outbreak
of a war troops would be assembled in the
vicinity of Washington and there would be
immediate need for a general hospital. 1t
is essential that field hospitals can only be
preserved by transferring all grave cases
that could not stand movement to a base
hospital The general hospital, with its
corps of experts, could be Immediately eX-
tended to any desired size.
This could be done with but little delay.
The need for such an establishment was
very apparent during the recent war. ESti-
mates of the amount of money saved by
the United States general hospital during
the past six years have been kept and show
that forty-three officers completely in
capacitated for services whose retired pay
aggregated $4,000 a year and 430 enlisted
men in a similar state, whose pay aggre-
gated $4,000 year, were operated on in
the general hospital and returned to active
duty This shows that the hospital has al
ready paid for itself in surgical work alone

medical officers and of enlisted men of the
medical corps cannot be overestimated.

PARIS. January 13-The Associated Press
learns authoritatively that Russia's note
addressed to the powers relative to China
breaking neutrality gives what Russia
claims to be absolute proof OF Chinese
breaches. The three main complaints are:

The note lengthily sets forth the details,
and complains that China has not given
satisfactory explanation of the breaches OF
neutrality, and that therefore Russia ad-
yises the powers that she intends to use
complete liberty of action in regard to
future abuse of neutrality.
