HAS RUSSIA DARED TO TAKE NEWCHWANG? WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—The Chi- nese Minister, Mr. Wu, is following with much interest the developments in the East, where the conflicting interests of Russia and England seem to be on the verge of open hostilities. Concern- ing the latest report that Russia had ! Pa., Nov. 3.—The retire- | taken the treaty port of Newchwang, ment of General Graham from the com- | thus giving her control shutting out the British | of all Man- churia and from trade in that great section, Mr. ™ x ‘Wu says it is hardly credible that Rus- sia has taken such a step, as New- chwang, being a treaty port, is of al- most as much interest to the outside world as it Is to China. The treaty ports are freely open to foreign trade, and as a result large for- eign colonies have been built up in them. It is at the treaty ports that the United States has established her trade with China.. For this reason Mr. Wu feels satisfied that any such important movement by Russia as the taking of a treaty port would be speedily report- ed by the United States Minister at Peking and all other foreign repre- sentatives in China. Mr. Wu has.a personal familiarity with all the country around New- chwang, as he projected the railway HONGKONG, Nov. 3.—Extraordinary activity has prevalled in naval and military circles here during the past few days, but no in- formation on the subject is obtainable. The British first-class cruiser Powerful has just taken on board over 2000 tons of coal, and all the other British warships here are ordered to be ready for sea immediately. The British second-class cruiser Bonaventure has been recalled from Manila and arrived here last night. It is reported that the British gunboats rendezvous here. At the navy yard here the ordnance department is most active and is engaged in mounting siege guns. WEI-HAI-WEI, Nov. 3.—All the British warships here are now fully coaled. Their woodwork has been removed and they are com- pletely prepared for emergencies. Tt is reported that they have been She is now coaling with all have been ordered to C0000000000000C0C0 running from Tientsin to Kinchow, which was designed to be extended to | Newchwang and thence northward, | tapping the richest sections of Man- churia. It is at the head of the Gulf of | Pechili and is so situated as to be of | great strategic value in connection with Port Arthur, now occupied by Russia under a lease from China. Port | Arthur is at the extreme end of the | Liaotung peninsula, while New- chwang is at the threshold of the| peninsula, so that together they com- mand all of that territory which seems | shaped by nature for military and na- | val purposes. It is this which has led to such activity in the British naval | stations, particularly ‘at Wei-Hai-Wei, across the gulf from Port Arthur. | ‘While Mr. Wu does not believe Rus- sia has occupied Newchwang, yet he says Russia may have given color for such reports by pusting forward some of her troops to Newchwang. It is in the natural line of development, if | Russia diverts the Trans-Siberian Rail- way s0 as to make a terminus at Port | Arthur, and for that reason.is doubtless { much coveted by the foreign commer- | cial interests. A private telegram recelved yester- day announces that the engineers of the American syndicate which has se- cured extensive concessions in China have arrived at Shanghal. They will begin surveys from the proposed line from Hankow to Canton, connecting some of the largest cities and opening up some of the richest country in China. CAMP MEADE INQUIRY WILL BEGIN TO-DAY CAMP MEADE, MIDDLETOWN, Pa., Nov. 3.—The war investigating sub-committee has not yet reached Camp Meade. It is expected to-mor- row. It is not thought that any testi- mony will be taken, as only three of the Investigators are coming here. They heard Major General Graham's story at Washington a month ago and Major General Young has told what he knows of the alleged abuses at Camp Wikoft. The vote of the Two Hundred and Third New York Regiment was taken to-day, the polls being open from-9 to 4. The regiment is isolated among the Conewaga Hills on account of an out- break of typhold fever after reaching here, and less than half of the com- mand is on duty. The rest are in city hospitals or home on rurlough. General Graham’s condition was im- proved to-day and he left on a morn- ing train for New York to join his fam- fly. Colonel Girard says the general is a very sick man and went home on his advice. Indications are that General Young will continue in command of the Sec- ond Corps for somg time after the South is reached, as General Lawton is to go to Cuba and arrange for the disposition of his corps there. PLACES FOR VETERANS OF THE SPANISH WAR, President Will Urge Congress to| Amend the Civil Service Rulcs. NEW YORK. Nov. 3.—The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: I understand that President McKinley pro- poses to make a recommendation to Con- gress that the civil service rules be so amended as to direct that preference be given to veterans of the Spanish war as well as the civil war in appointments to all Government offices. Anticipating the adoption of the Presi- dent’s recommendation Secretary Long will issue an amendment to navy yard regulations within a few days di- recting that in the employment of labor preference be given, as In the case veterans of the o war of the rebellion, to men who served in the Spanish war. This order contem- plates that preference be shown first to those who were wounded In battle or ‘who were actually at the front. —— Mother of Fitzhugh Lee Dead. " RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 3.—The mother of General Fitzhugh Lee died to-day. She fell recently and sustained internal in- Jurfes. SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 3.—Major Gen- eral Fitzhugh Lee, commanding the Sev- { will accept the challenge. SATISFACTORY ARRANGEMENT 13 REACHED Cause of Friction Now Removgd. SO DECLARES ENGLAND IN ACCORD WITH FRANCE AS TO THE UPPER NILE. Notwithstanding the Assurances Made, Great Britain Contin- ues Warlike Prep- & arations. Special Dispatch to The Call LONDO... Nov. 3.—An official note fssued this evening says: “There is now good reason to hope that the po- litical situation is ameliorating. It can be confidently stated that when the cause of the irritation which un- fortunately recently existed in France and Great Britain over the Upper Nile is removed, which is expected soon to be the case, the door will again be open for a resumption of those friendly ne- gotiations which happily characterize the normal state of the relations be- tween the two countries.” NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—The London correspondent of the FEvening Post cables to-day that a general and satis- factory arrangement has been reached between Great Britain and France on the Fashoda question. GREAT BRITAIN’S. SHOW OF WARLIKE STRENGTH KINGSTON, Jamalca, Nov. 3.—The British naval authorities at Port Royal, the naval headquarters here, express the opinion that the order for the mobilization of the British North American and West Indian squadron forms part of a grand and comprehen- sive scheme for a naval demonstration | on the Pacific and Atlantic, intended to indicate Great Britain’s readiness to face any and all possible hostile de- velopments. Great Britain, it is said, fully realizes the menaces of the future and will accept war now with France or Russia or both, and the present demonstration indicates that neither But, should they do so, Great Britain can never be more prepared than now, especially in view of the possible arranzement of an American understanding. and in view of the fact that the Marquis of Salisbury’'s Government has the sup- port of all the political parties in Great Britain. G e MAJOR MARCHAND ARRIVES AT CAIRO CAIRO, Nov. 3.—Major Marchand, the commander of the French expedi- tion at Fashoda, arrived here at 7 o’clock this evening. He was met at the railroad station by the French officials and residents. The explorer looked thin and worried. Directly the major appeared at the door of the train the spectators rushed forward, waving hats, sticks and handkerchiefs, and crying “Vive Marchand!” The latter, who was much pleased and touched at the reception accorded him, drove off to the French diplomatic agency amid cheering. = Only two Senagalese soldiers accom- panied Major Marchand, whose future movements depend upon the instruc- tions which Captain “Baratier brings him to-morrow. At the French agency it was for- mally announced that no one would be permitted to interview the French officer, as M. del Casse, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Marquis of Salisbury must be the first “to receive all news which may contribute to the harmony of the two countries.” The major reports that he left all his companions in good health, and he adds that they had abundant pro- visions and a plentiful supply of am- munition. The French commander also ex- pressed himself as being much grati- fied at the kindness shown him by the British officers during his journey to this place. IMMEDIATE SAILING OF IMPEREUSE CHECKED VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 3.—Orders have been received by the Navy De- partment countermanding the imme- diate sailing of the Impereuse. She will remain in port until further in- structions. One hundred and fifty men arrived here to-night, the new crew of.the sloop-of-war Icarus. UTES STILL CAUSING ANXIETY IN COLORADO Reassuring Dispatches That Do Not Explain the Absence of the Game Wardens. DENVER, Nov. 3.—General Sumner, commanding the Department of Colorado, to-day received this dispatch from the commanding officer at Fort Duchesne: ve sent detafls to each agency to make e inquiries as to absent Indiats. They Wil report back to-morrow night. -The rumor of Indians being in Colorado s a mistake, as the Indians are now being paid grass money. anid there are no absentees on the rolls so far. A general Indian council is to be held at the agency Saturday. All Indians are ex- yected then. i espite this reassuring _Information uvgug?y is still felt here in regard to the game wardens who went to the western part of the State to investigate the situa- tion, as no word has been received from em. !hA special to the News from Rifle, Colo, says: James Rector, a prominent cow man_from Rangelg, reports about 400 Utes in Colorado in the vicinity of Rangely. They are kiliing a great amount of game, and say they will stay out until they get all the game they want.
