The French government has repeatedly re-

that the Hattien government allow these
men either to go from the country or to re-
turn to their homes That request the
Haftien government has refused to grant.
1nasmuch as the courts have convicted and

refused the request unless the government
guarantees the refugees immunity from Inn

DENIED BY JAPAN.
Russian Charge Of Violating Chinese
Neutrality Contradicted.

The Japanese government has made oral
denial to the State Department here. and 1t
Is understood to other governments, of the
Russian charges OF violation Of Chinese
neutrality during the present war. The
Japanese statement. just made public, IS
couched In strong language. 1t says that
while 1t is not Japans duty to defend China
In this case yet SO far as the good faith
and loyalty Of Japan are called in question
the government OF that country feels
bound to repel the charges.
These are taken up seriatim. beginning
with the Ryeshitelni incident, which the
verbal note declares was nothing more than
the adoption by Japan of just and newt
able measures Of self-defense made nee
essary by Russias violation of Chinese
neutrality. The charges that Chinese bril-
gands were commanded by japanese odd-
GERS and enrolled In their army. and that
japanese military instructors were with the
Chinese soldiers on the border, 10 declared
to be- without any foundation whatever, and
Russia II CHALLENGED to produce any evil

RAILWAY STORAGE YARD.
Commissioners Recommend Passage of
Pending Bill.

The Commissioners have forwarded to
Congress report on the bill to establish
railroad storage yard In the District of
Columbia. The Commissioners suggest sew
eral minor amendments to the bill and rec
commended Its passage as amended. The
purpose of this bill Is to carry out the
agreement made several months ago be-
tween the Commissioners and the Philadel-
phia. Baltimore and Washington Railroad
Company, relative to changes in the plans
of the railroad company In connection with
tho railroad terminal work In Garfield
Park In consideration of the elimination
OF an expensive bridge across part of the
reservation the District Is given a part
of the reservation to be used as property
yard.

and Washington Railroad Company, the
successor OF the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad Company. of all its right. title and
interest to portion of reservation IT Gar
field Park and Canal street, that was given
to the company for its use by the act of
Congress providing for the elimination Of
grade crossings on the line of the Baltimore
and Potomac railroad; and the transfer Of
this right, title and interest to the District
of Columbia for use as property yard
The area of the ground in question Is not
sufficient In extent for park purposes, and
under existing law by the railroad COM
pany for yard purposes.
I'm consideration of this REIMBURSEMENT"
the Commissioners say, "the bill provides
that the overhead crossing Of the railroad
at New Jersey avenue. as required by the
act of February II, 1901, shall be dispensed
with. This crossing. 1t has been developed
since the passage Of the act of 1901, Is I'M
desirable from several points of view, the
most important of which are the heavy
grade which vehicular traffic using 1t would
have to surmount, and the small detour
which would undoubtedly be preferred by a.
very large proportion OF this traffic even
were the bridge constructed. It is expected
that Virginia avenue will be very much
used by heavy teams and the establishment
OF good grade along that avenue is very
important.
1T Will be necessary for the District to
have property yard in connection with the
freight terminals of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, and In this way a well-located prop
erty yard will be obtained and the only
compensation which the District would give
for the property yard Is that proposed by
the bill. the REIMBURSEMENT Of q bridge
which. as before stated, 1t Is not believed
Will be a benefit.
The bill further provides that the side
track now on Canal street connecting the
main tracks OF the company with the
United States navy yard shall not be cut
on or otherwise interferred with"
