Leaders Counsel Moderation.
(By the Associated Press.l

Toxic. April 21.-4 p. m.,-The
Japanese government continues to
maintain silence regarding the Kam-
ranh Bay incident and it is under
stood that the diplomatic correspond
ence on the subject is not concluded.
1t is expected that France will form
ally investigate the situation at Kam-
raEh Bay I'm the meantime the party
leaders here are counselling the Jap
anese press to use greater modera-
tion and calmness and to await the
outcome of the negotiations
The assertions in the Paris press
that proofs of the presence of vessels
of the Russian squadron in Kamranh
Bay and of the violation of French
Neutrality are lacking are sharply
contradicted by the Japanese who as
sert that the evidence on the subject
is conclusive. They say that after
all the question of proof rests with
France who possesses the evidence
and whose neutrality has been vio-
lated.

lister Konoura We're received in au-
dience by the Emperor of Japan to-

WILL THEY LOCK HORNS?
Springer Men and Waddell Men Prom
ise to Make Things Lively.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Wilmington, n c., April 21.-There
is much ado in the way of street gos-
sip here about a probable conflict or
deadlock between two evenly divided
factions on the new elected board of
aldermen, five of the number being
classed as Springer men" and five as
'Waddell men," when the board meets
at the beginning of the new adminis-
tration year to elect department otii-
Gals. The bone of contention is the
election of chief of police, teh five al
dermen classed as Springer men" con-
tending for the reelection of Chief of
Police John j. Furlong and the "Wad-
dell men" holding out just as stoutly
for the election of another man
With the breaking of the tie in the
hands of Mayor-elcct Waddell, the re-
suit in such q contest would not be
uncertain, but it is claimed the dis
coVery has been made that the mayor
although nominated in the primary by
a majority of votes, is really elective
by the board of aldermen, in which
event the Springer men" have in
their power the making of a deadlock
by deferring the formal election of
filled, thereby robbing the newly elect
ed chief executive OF the exercise OF
his perogatiVe of breaking any tie
However, the members of neither fac
ton will express their ultimate pur-
pose in the matter and the outcome is
being awaited with much interest

We're Not Well Enough

WE'VE DONE ALL ELSE
As Result Russia Orders RojeStven
sky Vigorously to Respect Neutral
ity of French Waters. lnforma-
tion of Exact Location of His
Ships Asked BY France.
(By tho Associated Press.)

Paris, April 21.-As n result of COM
munications between the governments
at Paris and St Petersburg the Rus
sian government has forwarded urgent
orders to Admiral Rojestvensky rigor-
ouslv to respect the neutrality Of
French waters This is Il precautions
airy measure. In addition special in
structions have been sent to the gov
crnor general OF Indo-China NJ. Beau,
and Foreign Minister Delcasse has in
structed the French minister at Toxic,
to give the Japanese minister for for
eign affairs, assurances that 1t IS
Frances purpose to preserve strict
neutrality, these being similar to the
assurances given to DR.. Motono, the
japanese minister at Paris.
According to the official view, the
foregoing steps should exercise a dis
tinctly calming influence upon Japan
as they show France directly and
through Russia has adopted all avail
able means TO insure respect OF the
neutrality of French waters. The CT
ficials say that the only additional
measure open is the use of French
warships to employ force in expelling
Rojestvensky's squadron. Such a
course however, is said to be impoS-
sible owing to the small number of
French ships in Indo-Chinese waters.
DR.. Motono in the course of an i'll
tervieW said his request was that
France observe neutrality by adopting
all the necessary measures for pre-
venting Admiral Rojestveasky's S
squadron from remaining any longer
in French territorial waters at KAN
ranh Bay. The minister added that
the Russian ships are quite inside
French waters and not outside Of
them.
Japan's representation has had tie
effect of bringing the Franco-Japanese
incident TO the front rank of public at
tention. The leading newspapers here
adopt the government view that For
eign Minister Delcasse's assurances
calm the situation.
The Temps says the instructions sent
to Governor General Beau require him
TO report the exact location Of Admiral
ojestvensky's ships. whether they are
or are not within the three mile linn: [.
Nj. Beau's reply has not yet been re-
ceiVed.

GREAT BRITAIN WAITING.
She May Present a Note to France on
the Neutrality Question.
(By the Associated Press. }

London, April 21.-All the govern
ment offices We're closed today and
most of the officials were out of town
making it almost impossible to secure
an official statement regarding Great
Britain's contemplated or actual ac-
ton in connection with the neutrality
question in the Indo-Chinese waters.
The Associated Press is in a position
to say, however, that the question was
discussed yesterday between Baron
Hayashi, the Japanese minister, and
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne. Baron
Hayashi said to the Associated Press
this afternoon that he was not pre-
pared to discuss the question whether
or not Grea Britain would send a note
to France on the subject. "It is q
pending NATTER" he said. 1t would
appear, however. that it is not i'm
probable that Great Britain is await
ing Frances reply to the Japanese
protest before taking definite action.
