WITH The CZAR
MANCHURIAN NEGOTIATIONS
CAUSING STRAIN
Orientals Press Question of Evacua=
ton and Want Number of Rail-
road Guards Reduced-Japs
Supporting
By Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 3.-No
confirmation has been received of the
report from Hardin that hostilities be-
tween the Russian and Chinese troops
in Manchuria were imminent. At the
foreign office, however, it was said
that the negotiations between Russia
and China over Manchurian affairs are
not progressing satisfactorily and that
relations between the two countries
have been somewhat strained. The
Russian minister at Peking, M. Poko-
tiloff, and Gen. Grodekoff, the COM
mander in chief of the Russian troops
In the far east, are acting in harmony
but the Chinese are displaying a great
deal of steadfastness and not only re-
fuse to recognize the private concerns
in Manchuria held by Russians, but
are constantly pressing the question of
evacuation of Manchuria by the Rus
sian troops.
The Chinese are also asking for a
diminution of the number of railroad
guards along the Manchurian railroad,
but Russia is resisting the latter de-
mand until the safety of the road is
assured.
1t is intimated in other government
quarters that China's attitude is due to
Japanese support.

CIVIC GOATS AS BLESSINGS
Some Queer Suggestions Made to the

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BUFFALO,, April 3.-When J. N.
Adam, Buffalos reform mayor, took
office he invited suggestions from all
citizens to improve the city and better
it's people. Here are some he has re-
ceved
That the city buy and maintain a
herd of 1000 goats, because there is
never sickness in a family where
goat is.
That a law be passed restraining
hens to their owners premises, be-
cause hens use the next-door porch
for a chicken-run, but never lay eggs
there
That all the city's electric lights be
made ito wink the hour, so that man
need not take his watch out in the
winter
That it be a misdemeanor to leave a
gate open, because it's bad luck to
close a gate after anybody has left it
open.
That every citizen be compelled to
plant a rosebush before his house to
make the air sweeter."
That there be no brass street signs
and that mirrors shall not be carted
through the streets, because they re-
fleet the sun into weak eyes.
That there be daily parades in sum-
mer to amuse the children.
That the city supply megaphones to
street-car conductors, so that deaf pas
sengers may not be carried past their
streets.

blasted as rapidly as possible and the
debris cleared. 1t was stated tonight

WASHINGTON, April 3.-All the
