He thought it more likely that the Russians may have taken Chinese land for military purpcses and not paid what the natives considered full value for it. As the Chinese never differentiate between foreigners, considering all alike, Lord Charles said this incident will work as much harm to British and American interests as to Russia. ~ “Russia has obtained such a hold in Manchuria,” “that T consider it extremely Improbable that, no matter final disposition of China, Russia will never be driven out.” to the es, his d his Lordship, hat may be the being granted, bombarded the enemy’s beach at Camp Dew to General | King's right, was reinforced by two | trenches for t The only egon velunteers and | effect of the fire was apparently to three troops of the Fourth cavalry as|drive the rebels further inland. 3eyond a few ineffectual volleys from the trenches, with interest, the en onstration, and all is quiet along the rest of the line.

WILL BE PROMOTED | RIOTOUS SCENES IN Conflicts Between PARIS, Feb. 19.—Police measures for the maintenance of order have been taken on an extensive scale and the | city is quiet. M. Loubet did not auit his residence at the Luxembourg until 6 o’clock this evening. Toward 7 o’clock demonstrations oc- curred in front of the office of an an- archistic paper, the Journal du Peuple. on the Boulevard Montemartre, for and against Loubet. 3 There was a collislon between the rival factions and several persons were injured. The partisans of the newly elected President were worsted in the conflict and moved off to the Cafe Bre- bant, where they were again attacked and dispersed by their opponents. Many arrests were made. Similar encounters occurred at about 9 o'clock at the offices of the Libre | Parole. In the course of the demonstrations, the Dreyfusards attempted to invade the offices of the Petite Journal. Find- ing the doors barred against them, they smashed the window At the hall of the Thousand Columns 700 Bonapartists met to protest against the election of M. Loubet. Speeches were made by Baron Le Goux. M. Lasies and M. Cuneo d’Orlando. Sev- eral persons who interrupted the pro- ceedings were ejected. When the meet- llng broke up there were some slight disorders and several arrests were made. More serious disorders occurred at the Brasserie Maxeville, on the Boule- vard Montmartre, where several | women were trampled upon and in- | jured. A fracas also took place at the Cafe | de Spanoramas, where blows were free- |1y exchanged. In both cases the police intervened energetically, arresting | many. At 11 o’clock an enormous crowd was | demonstrating in favor of M. Zola. Toward midnight crowds broke the windows of the Rothschilds offices, in the Rue Lafitte, and another group wrecked the offices of the anti-Juif. Minor disturbances took place in various parts. of the city, but the crowds gradually dispersed and at mid- night quietude .had been almest re- stored. To-morrow Premier. Dupuy will ask the Chamber of Deputies to vote 6400 | francs for the obsequies of M. Faure. | This was the amount voted for Presi- | dent Carnot’s funeral.- President Lou- | bet, following the precedent sct by | President Casimir-Perier, will attend | the obsequies. 0 | M. Loubet will preside at the first Cabinet Council of the new administra- tion on Tuesday. It is estimated that 20,000 persons viewed M. Faure's body on Saturday. On the advice of medical attendants the remains of M. Faure were placed in the coflin this morning, in the pres- ence of M. Dupuy. This afternoon crowds filed past the bier. Mme. Faure continues to receive telegrams of con- dolence from rulers in all parts of the world. M. Loubet is receiving a host of con- | gratulatory telegrams. The Temps re- joices in his election as “the best pos- sible choice.” The Journal des Debats. which is more guarded, will wait to see him actually at work. The Liberte exhorts him to relieve the impression that he was elected in the interests of Dreyfus. The family of the dead President spent some time in the presence of. the body to-day, prior to the touching cere- | mony_of placing the remains in_the coffin, which took place at noon.” M. Dupuy stood at the foot of the cata- falque, while the deceased's military household marched in and took up a position behind the Premier. MM. | Berge, Legall and Blondet were also present. With tears in his eves. M. Berge cut a few locks of hair from M. Faure's head and kissed his left hand, an example which was followed by M. Legall and M. Blondet. The body was then raised and placed within the cof- fin, which was enclosed in a leaden | | shell, the cover of which was soldered "THE STREETS OF PARIS Rival Factions in Which People Are Injured and Many Arrests Made, | down, leaving a glass covered aperture | through which the face of the dead President s visible. Upon the silver | plate on the casket is a simple inscrio- | tion. After these ceremonies were com- | pleted, the casket was replaced upon | the catafalque and the public was | again admitted to view the remains. | CAMPAIGN AGAINST PRESIDENT LOUBERT PARIS, Feb. 19.—Altogether 100 ar- rests have been made in connection with to-day's’ disturbances. There is every sign of a campaign against President Loubet, similar to that which drove M. Casimir-Per.er to | resign. Clearly., La Patrie Francalse | will leave no stone unturned to achieve this object, its chief ground of objection | being that the President is a Dreyfus- |ard. The street demonstrations which !ha.ve occurred have not been spontane- | ous, but were evidently organized and | o far they have been easily suppressed. | It is affirmed that the Dupuy Cabinet will act energetically to maintain public order. The keynote of M. Loubet's policy may probably be found in the following conversation with M. Bourgeoise, leader of the moderate radicals, who came to offer to the new President the support of his party. Before accepting it, M. Loubet said: i “You are doubtless aware that one of | the first enactments of any Ministry of | mine will L2 a stringent law to stem | the current of insult, infamy and defa- | | mation which now befouls France. I fear that perhaps legislation of this kind will scarcely tally with the radical ideas.” M. Bourgeoise's answer was a cheer- ‘tul acquiescence. Herr Frischauer, the correspondent | here of the Neue Freie Presse, has been | | expelled from the country. |DUKE OF ORLEANS LEAVES FO7 MILAN LONDON, Feb. 20.—According to the Rome correspondent of the Daily Tele- graph, the Duc d'Orleans, realizing the | impossibility of anything favorable to | him happening in France, has left | Turin for Milan. | The Paris correspondent of the Times says that no ground can be dis- covered for describing President Lou- bet as a Dreyfusard, adding: “It would seem if he were that he would have | accepted the resignation of the Dupuy | Cabinet.” 2 ONLY A FORETAST LONDON, Feb. 20.—The Pacis cor- respondent of the Daily Mail describes the scenes at the Versailles election as a “Donnybrook fair with a touch of tragedy therein—the tragedy of a new- 1y chosen ruler attempting to ignore his unpopularity and smilingly returning | thanks for congratulations.” “I believe,” says the correspondent, “that the riotous scenes in Paris are only a foretaste of what is coming. | Last night the boulevards were. battle- fields and nowhere was a voice. to glor- ify the new President. To-day the press is uncommonly rancorous. Here are some of -the titles of honor con- ferred upon Loubet: ‘Imbecile.’ 'Pan- amalst,” ‘wretch,’ ‘liar,” ‘perjurer,’ and avowed protector of the Dreyfusards.” " RAILROAD TIE PLACED ON BICYCLE PATH Two Sacramento Wheelmen Collide ‘With the Obstruction and Are Injured. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 19.—Several mem- bers of the Capital City Wheelmen went on a run to Folsom to-day over the nar- row wheel path. Frank Hickman and James E. Little set tye pace and were Eprinting along when they came suddenly on a railroad tie that haq been laid across the path. They could not avoid it, and when their whéels struck the obstruction the machines were wrecked .and both men severely injured. HANNA REFUSED 0 AID BURNS IN HIS FIGHT S Still Another Boast of the Mine-Jumper Without a Shadow of Truth, McLAUGHLIN BETRAYS A SECRET The Claim That the National Adminis- tration Was Behind Dan Proven False by a Telegram From the Ohio Senator, CALL HEADQUAR TERS, SACRAMENTO, Feb. 19.—It was a transparent claim always, but flimsy a fraud as it was, the Burns gang can no longer say they have the backing of the National administration. It was Major Mc- Laughlin who let the cat out of the bag. In his efforts to win over one of the Bulla men, he told more than he ought to have told, and he told it louder than a shrewd manager should tell his secrets, so the veil has dropped and anothér flimsy pretext of the eminent leaders of the Burns faction has gone a-glimmering. The feline was released during a conversation held last Friday between Major McLaughlin and Assemblyman Me- lick. Poor old.Simpson had just decided to sail under the black flag in the Senatorial fleet, and had sealed his politi- cal doom by voting for Burns. Flushed with victory, Mc- Laughlin had decided to win Melick over also, and he told the Assemblyman so. Now Melick does not ‘drink more than is good for him and he can see as far through the political grindstone as an- other, so when McLaughlin told him he should listen to the wishes of his party and vote for Burns, Melick vigor- ously denied that the party had spoken. Mr. Melick was seen to-night and thus detailed the conversation that fol- lowed: “The major said to me: ‘You know who the party wants.” “I replied that I thought I did, seeing that I voted once a day. ““You should vote as the party wishes,’ said the major. “The organization should have some say in the matter.’ “I told him the organization had never spoken. To this he replied that he had tried to get the State Central Com- mittee together to declare for Dan Burns and had tele- graphed to United States Senator Mark Hanna for permis- sion to do so, but Hanna wouldn’t give his consent. The major then produced a telegram from Hanna, which in ef- fect was that it was against all party usage to call a State Central Committee together for any such purpose as declar- ing for any particular Senatorial candidate. He hoped the long deadlock would not injure the party in California, but he could not sanction any such course as the major had mapped out.” That was the end of the conversation and Melick and the friends who were with him and who saw and heard it all, left McLaughlin sorrowing over the refusal to allow him to play his great card. So falls all the talk about the organization. It was never intended that the party should be consulted, but it was hoped the Central Committee could be braced up sufficient- Iv to enable it to declare in favor of Burns. Now that the scheme has been exploded, the touts must search for an- other fairy tale to whisper in the ears of confiding legisla- tors. 3 It is significant that Burns and his lieutenants have been unable to draw the National administration into the fight. Hanna is not a man to foregather with a crowd of losers; to espouse the cause of a man whose victory would be a curse and his defeat a blessing. The Burns people have known all along they could not get the support of anybody but the touts and heelers, the Jilsons and Wrights, and the irre- sponsibles like Simpson, but they kept up the gaudy pre- tense and tried to ladle it out as pap to support the weak- kneed. BURNS LATEST PLOT AGAINST THE PEOPLE | Legislature shall be instructed to vote for some favorite son. The idea is to scatter the Grant forces, while the Burns column is to be held intact. The colonel hopes by such tactics to wear out the patience of the Legislature and make his final desperate effort during CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 19.—Burns is now at- tempting to break down Grant's forces through the county committees. His plan is to have resolutions adopted asking first that the deadlock be brok- en, and then that their members of the
