EMPHASIZES IN RACE.
Seven Big American Warships Try Con-
 cIusions or Atlantic Const.

45 {. f 5F New York, May S--News of an eight hour ocean race in which seven big
 United States battleships participated was brought here to-day by the battle- ship Alabama, which arrived in com mand of Rear Admiral Charles H. Da- wis and will go to the navy yard to be
 overhauled because of the poor showing which she made in the contest.
 The ships were coming up the coast last Saturday and were about two hun-
 dred miles south of Cape Henry, when
 the word was given for a speed test.
 For two hours it was nip and tuck, there being scarcely a change in the relative position of the participants. By that time excitement was running high
 on board the battleships and the speed
 contest had developed into a race.
 Finally the Massachusetts and the Ala bama began to fall behind and when
 the signal ending the race was flashed
 both these ships were far in the rear.
 The Alabama, which has the record of being one of the fastest battleships in ! the navy, was fully a mile and half behind the achusetts.
 ! At the finish the battleship Missouri. which had drawn away from the others, was only seventy three and one-half miles south of Cape Henry, having covered 126ts miles in the eight hours. During the last six hours of the race the battleships were under forced
 draught. With the exception of the Alabama all the vessels went to Hamp- i ton Roads for repairs.

JAPAN DECLINES.
Will Not Agree to Delimitation of War
 Zone in Mongolia.

St. Petersburg, May S.-Japan has refused to agree to definition of the limits of the war zone in Mongolia west of the present positions of the armies. North of Tie pass Mongolia juts east ward across the railroad and the limit of the zone of hostilities has never been fixed. In view of the fact that the Japanese used Sinmintin to effect their turning movement against Muk- den, General Linevitch called upon the authorities at St. Petersburg to secure a definition of the line northward and Russian made proposals that the gov ernment at Pekin delimit the zone, but the answers from China were evasiye, Japan declining to bind herself. For the present, therefore, General Line witch is free to take such measures as he deems proper to protect himself from a hostile movement in the direc- tion of Mongolia.

FRENCH NEUTRALITT.
Verbal Communications on Subject Be-
 tween London and Paris.

London, May S.-Verbal communica- tions quite recently passed between the British and French foreign offices con- corning the alleged toleration by France of breaches of neutrality on the part of Russian warships in the Far East. This was practically admit ted to The Associated Press at the for eign office to-day, but the officials de- clined to enter into details. From another source it is learned that For eign Secretary Lansdowne communicat- ed with the French ambassador in Lon don and to the French foreign office through the British ambassador at Paris within a few days.
 Baron Hayashi (the Japanese n1inis- ter) informed The Associated Press that from what he had seen in the pa- pers he believed the Russian warships were not observing French neutrality. He added that it was not alone the question of the Russian ships being within the three miles limit, Japan just as strongly objecting to the Rus sian squadron making a base of Indo- China, lying outside the three mile limit and receiving supplies from French ports. Baron Hayshi laid stress on the statement that the French government had refused to al- low press dispatches to be sent from Saigon and said he understood that to be a contravention of the interna- tional telegraph agreement.

EQUITABLE DIRECTORS MEET.
Frank Interchange of Views of Best Course to Pursue.

Frank Interchange of Views of Best
 Course to Pursue.
 New York, May S.-A meeting of the board of directors of the Equitable Life Assurance society held to-day was att tended by more than twenty members of the board. Special stress was laid upon the statement that the meeting was in the fullest sense informal, and this was attested by the fact that no secretary was appointed and no minutes recorded, in order, as Senator Depew explained, that the meeting should be only in the form of conference for the purpose of a frank exchange of views as to which course would best serve the interests of the society.
 A suggestion by implication was made during the conference when M. E. Ingalls,, after a speech in which he told of the necessity for speedy set clement of the difficulty, urged for the, the society an executive of capacity, a man with business experience and rep- |utation. ''We must get a man Of the size and ability of Grover Cleveland, 7 said he, Eff we want to get the Equit- able out of its present predicamert' X
