arrive in Brownsville came in from
Chicago this afternoon. The car
was in charge H. w. Butler, son
of E. K. Butler, CT Chicago, who
is largely interested in the Browns
vile Land & Irrigation company,
and brings to Our section twenty
two people, experienced truck
farmers from Illinois, men who
have made success of the bust
ness in their northern homes, and
came here feeling sure their success
will be much greater in this sec
ton. Several have already Sc
cured land and others will do so

nearly all visited this section and
became so enthused over prospects
and possibilities, that they decided
to locate here permanently. These
people are but the advance guard
of large inflow of immigration
which will come to this section in
the next few months, and THE
HERALD extends to all of them a
most hearty welcome TO this por-
ton of the Brownsville country.

CHINA HAS OBJECTIONS
TO PEACE CONDITIONS
Celestlsls Enter Protest Against
Length Of Time Allowed for Evac-
uation OF Manehuria.

Wash ington The Post says: The
Chinese government week or more
ago made formal protest TO the Rus
sian and Japanese governments con-
corning two OF the conditions set
forth in the treaty Of peace signed at
Portsmouth. China objects to two
things:
First, the length OF time allowed
for the evacuation of Manchuria; and
second, the provisions made for an
armed guard for the railroad lines
owned by Russia and Japan in Man
churia China believes that nine
months is entirely sufficiently TO win
which Japan and Russia shall evacu-
ate Manchuria, instead OF twelve
months is entirely sufficient time in
treaty. The provision made for
guarding the railroad the Chinese
contend contemplates an armed force
of probably 10000 men in Chinese ter
ritory. The Chinese government re-
CARDS the maintenance of guards In
Manchuria as such size as a menace.
and 1t does not propose to agree to
such n plan.

cable message received from Senior
O'Farrill, secretary OF state OF Cuba;
This morning the coat of arms Of
the United States consulate at Glen

the secretary of state how deeply the
government deplores this occurrence,
which must not be interpreted as a
demonstration OF hostility on the part
OF the Cuban people toward the Am

due to a criminal hand TO the end OF
creating difficulties to the govern
ment. An immediate and scrupulous
investigation has been instituted to
punish the author OF such repugnani
action.

Detail Of Agreement Have Been
Reached at st. Petersburg.
st. Petersburg.-Details were OBJ
tanned Monday OF the naval armistice
and demarcation line along the 81
berian coast arranged by the Japanese
and Russians September IS. The line
OF demarcation. which cannot be ira
versed by armed warships or vessels
of either country, starts from Cape
Rodsonon, runs east, and then runs
north through the middle Of the Strait
OF Ttartary to Cape Elizabeth, thence
east to near Kamtchatka. thence south
to longitude $3.50 north, and then east
again to the Commander islands about
s degrees north of the line. The mar
rowest part OF the Strait OF Tartary Is
made neutral. that is to say, ships OF
neither country can traverse II.
Al the beginning OF the conferences
OF the admirals, which occurred In
Koruiloff bay, Admiral Shimuamura,
for Japan. proposed to establish line
from coast to coast about forty miles
south Of Vladivostok. but Rear Ad-
miral lessen. for Russia, rejected the
proposition.
All the details OF the armistice In
Korea have not yet been settled. The
representatives of both armies are
still working on them. ~

RUSSIA CROWS
MORE LIBERAL
People to be Granted Right OF
Assembly, Under Certain
Limitations.
Regarded AZ Great Step In Advance
a Reform Second in Importance
only TO cSnvocation Of the Rep
resentative Assembly.

st. Petersburg.--A project for
granting the Russian people. under
certain limitations, the right OF as.
sembly for the discussion Of political
and economic questions--a reform sec
ond in Importance only to the convo.
cation OF the representative assem-
bly,, and which was elaborated by a
commission under the presidency OF
Count Ignatieff--is now practically
completed, and after final review by
the Solsky commission will be imme
diately laid before Emperor Nicholas.
Its PRONUNCIATION is confidently expect.
ed early in the week.
Though coupled with a number OF
restrictions designed to give the au-
thorities oversight OF proceedings in
order to prevent discussion of treas
enable or seditsous subjects, this re-
form will mark great constitutional
development, the people hitherto hav-
ing had no general right of assembly
except at meetings of authorized So
cieties. The privilege granted by the
emperor's rescript OF March 3 per-
hitting meetings for discussion OF
popular representation was a temper
airy measure and was withdrawn when
the national assembly rescript was is
sued.
ITnAAr hn nrnnngnd rAurloffnnq
ganizers are required to give three
days notice of meeting and its pur-
poses. Special sanction for q meet
ing is not required, and the POSSIBLE
ity OF bureaucratic delays is thereby
obviated, but the government reserves
the right to prohibit Objectionable
and also the right to have a represen-
tative to see that the discussions do
not overstep the limits. This repre-
sentative may demand the names and
addresses of all the speakers and the
assembly may be closed II the speak
ers deviate from the announced pro-
gramme. or in case Of disorder.
The second leading article OF the
bill Of rights demanded by the re-
formers will make popular representa-
ton truly successful. This relates to
the freedom of the press, and will
probably not take the form OF law at
this juncture, as the government
wishes TO submit the matter to the
national assembly for consideration.
1t is understood, however. that al in
formal announcement will be soon
made TO the effect that the enforce
ment of the press laws will be relaxed
during the campaign so as to permit
OF ample discussion of measures.
