A BRITISH PROTEST.
Against Alleged federation by Franco
Of Breaches Of Neutrality.

London, May 9.-Verbal communi-
cations quite recently passed be-
tween the British and French foreign
offices concerning the alleged tolera-
tion by France of breaches of neutral
ity on the part of the Russian warships
In the Far East. This was practically
admitted at the foreign office, but the
officials declined to enter into details.
From another source 1t was learned
that Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
communicated with the French ambas-
sador in London and the French for
eign Office through the British ambas.
sador at France within few days.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis.
ter, informed the press that from what
he had seen in the papers he believed
the Russian warships were not observ.
ing French neutrality. He added that
1t was not alone the question of the
Russian ships being within the three
mile limit, Japan just as strongly OBJ
jecting to the Russian squadron re-
ceiving supplies from French ports.
Baron Hayashi laid stress on the
statement that the French government
had refused to allow press dispatches
to be sent from Saigon which he I'M
derstood to be contravention of the
international telegraph agreement

No Definition of War Limits.

st. Petersburg, May 9.-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 eastward across the railroad and
the limit of the zone of hostilities has
never been fixed.
In view of the fact that the Japa-
nese used Sinmintin to effect their
turning movement against Mukden,
General Linevitch called upon the au-
thorities at st. Petersburg to secure
definition of the line northward and
Russia made proposals that the gov
ernment at Pekin delimit the zone, but
the answers from China were evasive,
Japan declining to bind herself
For the present, therefore, General
Linevitch is free to take such measures
as he deems proper to protect himself
from a hostile movement In the direc-
ton of Mongolia.

Adjournment of LEGISLATURE.

The New York state legislature
closed It's 12Sth session at 2 p. m. Fri.
day. The closing exercises, of the
usual,complimentary nature, we're pre-
ceded by the passage of a large num-
Der of bills, some of them important
but most of the great bulk, of the
days legislation was of a local or
special character.
AS usual, large number OF Lills
were left in the last stages of pro-
gress. Among these the most import
ant was the bill repeating the per
cent tax on the surplus and undivided
profits of savings banks, whose pas
sage Governor Higgins urged in
special message to both houses Thurs
day.
Another bill which was left strand
ed was the so-called Cassidy power
bill, which passed the senate by ma
jority of one vote after a sensational
debate on Wednesday afternoon but
never emerged from the assembly
rules committee.

Junction an Accomplished Fact.

st. Petersburg, May 9.-According
to the admiralty news brought to
Saigon by hospital ship Kostroma the
junction of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
and Nebogatoff by this time is an ac-
complished fact.
The admiralty processes ignorance
of the present location of the united

will spend some time in sheltered wa
ters of the China sea near the coast
but outside the three-mile limit in or
