Instances Given Where Neutrality Was
 Violated.

Tokio, May 14--7 D. m.-Detailed con- frnatory information concerning Vice. Admiral Rojestvensky's use of Indo- Chinese waters has reached the Japan ese government from a variety of sources, both official and private. A high Japanese officer to-day sketched to the Associated Press the important acts of the Russian fleet since France was first moved to preserve neutrality. He said:
 The governor general of Indo- China officially reported that the Russian fleet had entirely departed from Karn- ranh Bay on April 22, but on April 23 there still remained in the bay one cruiser, one torpedo boat destroyer and fifteen transports of the Russian fleet. On April "A the entire Russian fleet re- entered Kamranh Bay and rode at an chor until April 26, when a majority of the warships sailed, leaving behind four converted cruisers and one torpedo boat destroyer. These latter vessals took supplies of coal and provisions. On April 26, toward evening, these vessels stopped and examined the German steamer Loosok and the Norwegian steamer Providence, which passed out side of the bay On April 27 more than thirty Russian vessels were anchored at Honkohe, and at o'clock in the aft ernoon they stopped and examined the British steamer Stettin, which was passing.
 According to the French official re- port, Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky prom ised Admiral De Jonquieres that he would leave Honkohe on May 3. It is evident, however, that the Russians were anchored at Honkohe on May 8.
 "The latest telegrams from Indo-C Chi na indicate the presence at Honkohe on May 12 of seven Russian battleships, seven cruisers, two torpedo-boat de- stroyers and four converted cruisers.
 Since the appearance of the Russian fleet in the Far East Saigon has become a base for the transportation of mili- tary supplies for Vice. Admiral Rojest- vensky's fleet. The number of vessels furnishing supplies to the Russians is so great that those which were anchor ed at Saigon on May 5 were countable by tens.

RUSSIA PASSES THROUGH
 MAY DAY VERY QUIETLY
MUCH HERALDED DEMONsTRA-

Only Minor Disorders at ReyaI, Kishi-

 No Serious TumuIts Reported Up to

 Meet With Thorough Failure.
 St. Petersburg. May 15.-12:30 a. nl.- The widely heralded May day demon- strations in St. Petersburg were com plete fiasco. and the reports from Mos COW and the provinces indicate that or der reigned on Sunday generally throughout the entire extent of Russia Kishineff and one or two other places. Minor disorders are reported at ReVa, but up to midnight no reports of seri- ous tumults or loss of life have been received, and the attempts of the social democrats and social revolutionists ap- pear to have been a thorough failure.
 Dispatches from Kazan, Tiflis, Sara tof, Cronstadt, Rostov-on-Don, Kieff, Velogda, Tomsk, and other cities say the workmen observed the day as iaol- iday, that the shops were closed, and that quiet was not disturbed.
 In St. Petersburg the day was passed in almost perfect quiet, and happily without a drop of blood being shed. The revolutionaraies found 1t impossible to execute the programme of demonstra- 4l, widely advertised, the workingmen de- clining to sacrifice themselves to ad- vanc ethe propaganda of their self-con- stituted leaders, and the advertised meetings were attended chiefly by spec tators. Governor General Trepoff han dled thesituation firmly, but with 8 view of avoiding collisions, and made his dispositions skilfully. Squads of Cossaeks parolled the streets, reserves being held out of sight in court yards, and the guard regiments were retained under arms in their barracks, but their was no occasion to call out either.
 The Associated Press correspondent, who rode through all sections of the city and suburbs, found the streets per- haps less thronged than usual More or less tension and agitation were appar- ent in the industrial quarters among workmen promenading under the eyes of Cossacks with whips in their hands, but otherwise the city wore almost a normal appearance. The weather, which was cold and raw, perhaps acted as a, deterrentof trouble, as Russians dislike physical discomfort.
 At the Preobrajensky cemetery. where the principal meeting in honor of "The January Martyrs" as the victims of Red Sunday are popularly called, had been advertised, there was a scanty crowd, largely composed of curiosity

Posed as Wife of Former Emperor of
 Mexico Who Was Brother of Em-
 peror of Austria--CIai,ned She Was
 RightfuI Claimant to Austrian
 Throne--Money Contributed to Aid
 Her in Fight--Promised Titles in
 Return.
 Boston. May 14.--A woman who claimed to be, Carlotta, the wife of Maximilian, former emperor of Mex ica, and brother of Francis Joseph, present emperor of Austria, has, ac- Hcording to the Herald, left the city af- ter securing some S4O,0O0 from mem bers of the Italian colony on the, pre- tense that she was rightful claimant to the Austrian throne.
 She is, the Herald says, .sbeing sought by over 100 residents of the North End district, for for almost eight years have been paying her money to enable her, as they supposed, to gain possession of the Austrian throne, upon which event taking place she promised that those who helped her would be made ministers and nobles and be given vast estates. One wonl- an, the wife of a prominent Italian, gave her $3,000 on the strength of the promise that she should be made a duchess. An organ grinder contributed "a few hundred dollars, all his savings, on the understanding that he should be made court musician. Others con- tributed tens and hundreds on similar assurances.
 Many Italian residents secretly wis sited her at her royal headquarters, a handsomely furnished room, in dWell- ing house on the corner of two south end streets, where the pseudo-queen sat on an imposing throne, resplendent in red cloth and tinsel, and graciously all lowed them to kiss her hand on the oc- casions on which they brought her trib- Iutes of money. At each side of the throne stood fake courtiers and a body guard who elanked stage arms. Mysterious secrets such as would overthrow the present Austrian ruler were credited to this woman. When she appeared in Boston eight years ago lit was mysteriously whispered among the few in the north end that Carlotta, sister-in- law of Emperor Francis Jo- F seph, was in Boston in disguise, having escaped from Brussels, where she had for many years been confined in an asy- lum.

PLAT3 MEMORIAL SERVICE
HELD IN MERIDEN CONGREGA-
 TIONAL CHURCH.

Fayorite Hymns and Anthems of De-
 ceased Statesman snng-Rev. A. J.
 Lord and Charles Phelps, of Rock
 viIle, Deliver Impressive EuIosies--
 Day Far Distant When His Record
 VIII Cease to Exert Powerful In
 fiuence.
 Meriden, May 1.-The memorial ser vice this evening at the First Congre- gational church in honor of the late Senator Orville H. Platt was conducted most appropriately, while rich in sincere and worthy eulogy of the great states man. The musical programme consist ed of hymns and anthems held as fa- vorites by Senator Platt.
 Rev. A. J. Lord, the pastor spoke of the late senator's relationship to the church, he having been a member from early manhood. His church activities were numerous and well discharged, he having served as Sunday school teacher, committeeman and deacon for many years The church had reason to be proud of such a product of Christian manhood.
 A eulogy full of deep feeling and heartfelt appreciation was delivered by Charles Phelps of Rockville, an intim- ate friend of Senator Platt. He said the deceased statesman's great achieve ments were drawn from the sources of a stern integrity united to superior tal- ents, character to attachments, incess- ant labor to faith in God His position in the council halls of the nation was q most elevated one, and his opinions were regarded as emanating from a mind and heart true to the nohlest priin- ciples of public life, and solicitous for the affairs of the state and nation. Great men are necessary in great na- tional epochS and Senator Platt was wisely chosen as chairman of the com mittee on our relations with Cuba. The diplomatic world watched with .adnira- tion his management of the delicate and unique situation. Some men love to compare Senator Platt with Lincoln, as both statesmene had much in common. The influence of Lincoln is still incal- culable, and far distant is the day when the record of hi nnwhose memory we commorate now will cease to exert a powerful infiuenceee.

EXTENSION OF THE STRIKE
4 SETTLEMENT OR FURTHER
 TROUBLE EXPECTED SOON.
Another Death Added so the List of Chicago Victims Making T Total of Nine Attributed to the Strikers James Jennings, CoIored, Shot as Re- suit of Argument--Proprietor of Lunch Wagon Beaten and May Die.

Chicago, May 14-Unless compromises
 are offered by all the opposing inter- ests in the teamsters strike now In
 progress in Chicago, the strike will
 spread greatly during the next forty eight hours. The refusal of the team sters joint council, representing S5,OOO union drivers, to accede to the demands of the Chicago Team Owners associa- tion to handle merchandise for all bus
 mess houses having contracts with the
 members of the owners organization without discriminating against the firms involved in the present strike, has brought the controversy to 8 point
 where a speedy settlement will have
 to be made to prevent an extension of the trouble.
 There is a probability, however, that the whole trouble may be satisfactorily adjusted without bringing about such drastic measures.
 After receiving the announcement of the teamsters' joint council, refusing to obey the ultiinatum of the Team Own
 CTS association, meeting of the own
 CTS association was held, and it was decided to give the teamsters more time to consider the question. At first it was the intention of the owners to put their ultimatum into effect Monday morning, but they were given until
 Tuesday to make final answer.
 Information which the team owners
 say they received to-day that the team sters' joint council was not a unit last night in its determination to fight the
 owners, was given as the reason for the Ipostponenent of the enforcement of the Iultimatum until Tuesday.
 That last nights decision of the team
 sters will be reconsidered was made evi-
 dent tonight when call was sent out | for another meeting of the teamsters' joint council for tomorrow night In addition to this meeting call was is sued to-day for a meeting Tuesday of the executive committee of the Interna-
 tiosal Brotherhood of Teamstsrs. Another death to-day was added to tine list of strike victims making 8 to- tai of nine deaths attributed to the strike John Cahill shot James Jen- nings, colored in the head and killed lullIH.5zs l6Hlll uSCldieS Ullstl Il6 kilieu Ill6 negro in self defense, while arguing
 over the strike. Cahill says that Jen- nings rushed at him with a club and
 knocked him down. P. Lagrogoris, own- CT of a lunch wagon in front of which
 the shooting took place, was attacked by friends of Jennings later in the day and beaten unconscious. Lagrogoris may die.
