MANCHURIA EVACUATED.
Yesterday Was Limit Of Time
of Actual Transfer.
China Receivers POSSESSION Of That
Vast Domain-Baron Goto, Manager
of Manchurian Railway Says Last
Vestige Of War Has Been Removed.
Open to All Nations.

ST. Petersburg, April 16.-The ex-
piration of the IS months limit for the
evacuation of Manchuria by the Rus
6ian and Japanese troops was marked
by the nomination yesterday Of Rus
sian consuls at Kirin and Tsitishar,
the last two towns in Manchuria to
pass from Russian hands to the Chi
uese civil administration. The evacu-
alton of the Russian troops was COM
pleted March 21, almost month
ahead of the specified date.
An official of the foreign Office, COM
menting on Russia's premature with
drawal said:
1T is a complete justification Of
Russia's good faith in fulfilling the
treaty. 1t was insinuated when the
treaty was signed that Russia never
would abandon Manchuria but would
find some means of evading her obli-
cations. But the expiration Of the
stipulated period finds not a single
soldier of the Russian military estab-
lishment left in Manchuria. The rail
road guards, approximately 5000 men,
as provided for by the treaty, are COM
manded by General Chicagoff and are
attached to the ministry Of railroads
and not to the war ministry. The
functions of the guards are confined
strictly to the railroad. The policing
of the country and the repression of
the Chinese bandits have been turned
over to the Chinese troops.
Though the final results of the
Russian negotiations with China for
the establishment of the Chinese
customs houses and with Japan for
treaties of commerce and fisheries,
which will round out the Portsmouth
treaty, have not been attained, both
negotiations are proceeding satisfac-
torily'
Count Witte. the negotiator of the
Portsmouth treaty, has now with
drawn almost entirely from public
life, except in the minor role of
member of the council of the en-
pire. When questioned regarding the
evacuation of Manchuria, he said he
was out Of touch with diplomatic af-
fairs, but the prompt evacuation of
the Chinese territory was no surprise
to him. He always had been con-
vinced that Russias promises would
be promptly and fully carried out.

of Arbor day, which during the month

Arbor Day-opening Of the Great
Peace Congress.
Hopelessly divided-seven for o
verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree and five for acquittal on
the ground of insanity-the jury which
since the 23rd of last January had
been trying Harry X. Thaw reported
late on Friday after AZ hours and eight
minutes of deliberation, that 1t could
not possibly agree upon verdict.
The ~ men were promptly dis
charged by Justice Fitzgerald, who de
clared that he, too, believed their
task hopeless. Thaw was remanded
to the Tombs without bail to await a
second trial on the charge of having
murdered Stanford White. the noted
architect.
When this new trial would take
place no one connected with the case
could express an opinion. District
Attorney Jerome declared that there
were many other persons accused OF
homicide awaiting trial and that Thaw
would have to take his turn with the
rest AS to possible change OF
venue. both the district attorney and
counsel for Thaw declared they would
make no such move.
Thaw, when he had returned to the
Tombs, prepared and issued the fol
lowing statement:
Il believe that every man in the
jury possessing average intelligence,
excepting possibly Mr.. Bolton, com
pretended the weight of evidence and
balanced it for acquittal. All my
family bid me good bye with courage
| trust Cd. W we may all keep we'll"
To his attorneys Thaw said he was
deeply disappointed. But could
hardly expect anything else in view OF
the events of the past few days." he
added
Earlier in the day Thaw had issued
another statement in which he said
he had desired that his fate should be
judged upon the written" laws of the
state of New York. He declared that
he believed that the evidence adduced
had convinced even District Attorney
Jerome of his innocence under the
strict letter of the law.
The first vote was s to in favor of
conviction. Then the 12 tried to
reach unanimity upon a verdict OF
mansaughter in the first degree, the
maximum punishment for which Is 20
years imprisonment The men in ia.
vor of acquittal-largely on the ground
of insanity, 1t is said-would not
change their ballots and in the end
won over one of the eight who had ia.
vored conviction.
During the nearly 4S hours of delib.
Grafton only eight ballots were cast.
The jury spent the two night sessions
doing in their chairs.
The final ballot-taken just before
the jury reported its disagreement in
court-was as follows:
For conviction of murder in the
first degree - Messrs. Deming B.
Smith, foreman; George Pfaf, No. 2;
Charles H. Fecbe, No. 8; Harry C.
Brearly, No. G; Charles d. Newton,
No. s; Joseph B. Bolton, No. IL, and
Bernard Gerstman, No. IL.
For acquittal on the ground Of in
sanity-Messrs. Oscar A. Pink, No. 4 {;

and John S. Denne, No. TO-

FAIRVIEW PEOPLE ANGRY
Not Satisfied with the Drainage a
the Panhandle Viaduct-Had
Plenty of Water.

On account of the inefficient drain
age at the railroad viaduct on Sheri-
dan street Wednesday,, during the
heavy rain the water coming down
Railroad street was backed up under
the tunnel to depth of almost two
feet and for several hours street car
service to Fairview was rendered inn
possible In order to allow the water
to be run off, it was necessary for
picks and shovels to be used in open
ing upa way to small gully which
leads to the river bottoms. This
morning the street and sidewalks
were so covered with mud that it was
difficult to get through. The people
of Fairview are highly displeased with
the poor drainage system established
at this place, and affairm that this is
not the first time that such a condition
has existed.
