TO E|MBROIL FRANCE
GROWING BELIEF RUSSIA IS
WORKING TO THAT END.
public Sentiment In Japan Greatly
lnflamed by Continued and rla-
grant Violations OF Neutrality
by Rojestvenskv's rleet-vsrned
BY Great Britain.

London, May 8.-The opinion ID
growing in many quarters that the OBJ
ject of the Russians remaining SO long
in the waters of Cochin China is to
embroil France and Japan over the
neutrality question. It is argued here
that if the Russians really meant to
fight they would at once have passed
into the open sea out Of the track Of
navigation, so that their movements
could not be telegraphed constantly to
every quarter Of the globe. In this
connection the secrecy Of the Japanese
and the clever manner in which they
have concealed the whereabouts OF
ToRo's fleet il much commented upon.
London, May Especial dispatches
from Tokyo to the London newspapers
represent that the Japanese feeling is
becoming highly inflamed at Frances
alleged failure to prevent destinations
disregard for the principles of neutral
ity by the Russian Pacific squadron.
The Tokyo Asahi bluntly describes the
French assurances that they would
preserve neutrality as falsehoods and
declares that Japan would be justified
in bombarding French territory. and
calls upon the government to take Wig
orous action.
Among Japanese officials in London
it is assumed that France put off ia
pan by fair promises in order to give
Rojestvensky time to effect juncture
with his forces, and that the Russians
are now given every privilege provided
they keep just outside the three-mile
limit. The report from Tsingtau that
the Russian squadron is off Vanfong,
which is an inlet containing the port
of Honkohe, is held to confirm the ia
panese assertion that Rojestvensky is
still cruising in French waters.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
at Tokyo says that in response to ia
pans second protest France intimated
that Rojestvensky had been ordered to
leave Honkohe.
The Times correspondent at Tokyo
reports that the Japanese Chamber of
Commerce is concerning measures to
cease all commercial transactions with
French citizens.
London, May 8.-The Times. in the
course of a strong editorial warning
France Of the extreme danger and grav-
ity of the situation in the far East, and
appealing to that government not to
treat the Japanese protests lightly,
says it has reason to believe that For
eign Secretary Lansdowne has spoken
very strongly to the French govern
ment on the breaches Of neutrality per-
mitted to the Russian Pacific squadron.
London, May S.-A telegram from
Hongkong to a news agency gives a
long dispatch which it alleges the
French authorities at Saigon refused to
transmit on April 80, detailing how fo1
ten days the Russian Pacific squadron
was allowed to convert Kamranh bay
practically into Russian base, freely
coaling and provisioning openly under
the direction Of Prince Lieven, captain
of the Russian cruiser Diana, the
French admiral, De Jonquieres being
present the whole time, and until
April 20 making no attempt to check
the breach of neutrality.

HIGHLY PLEASED
Dr.. j. w. BACKYARD, the New Fresid
ing Elder, Delighted With
Paducah.

The Jackson, Tenn, Sun of res
terday says:
In a private letter to a friend ia
this Office DR.. J. w. Blackard, the
new presiding elder of the Paducah
district, tells in the following words
of the cordial manner in which he
was received in his new home:
81 reached here Thursday of last
week with my family 1--WE we're met
with carriages by committee from
Broadway church and driven to the
district parsonage where band of
elect ladies representing the several
Methodist churches of Paducah gree
ted us with a most cordial welcome.
1.-The parsonage had been put in
good order by them and bright fires
were blazing in every CRATE. After
we had rested a few minutes and
warmed we were invited to the din
ing room where magnificent Thanks
giving dinner, including the proven
bal Thanksgiving turkey, met our
hungry gaze. The ladies then took
their leave while we enjoyed the
good things their hands had prepar
ot.
"We afterwards found that the
pantry had been vel filled with all
that is usually required by a well
regulated family.
"our reception has been unusual
ly warm and we are already in love
with Paducah. The district stewards
have met and fixed my salary at ST.
600. 1t is the purpose of the presid-
ing elder, the pastors and the people
to make the Padueah district first
among the best"
We make these copious extracts
from DR.. Blackard's letter, feeling
convinced that his friends will be
delighted to hear of his cordial re-
ception, that This pasture now lies in
pleasant fields"
