ST. PETERSBURG, Dee. 9.—The cor- respondence between Baron de Rosen, Russian Minister to Japan, and Admi- al Alexieff, Russian Viceroy in the Far East, concerning the modifications of the Japanese demanpds, was dis- patched from the Far East yesterday. Owing to the time taken in transmission | of the correspondence, the submission | of the Japanese negotiations may be | delayed several days. James D. Davidson, Consul at Tamsui, Formosa, who is| here on his way home after four| months of extensive traveling in-Man- | churia, gathered much valuable infor- | mation, someé of which corrects the | misapprehensions concerning Manchu- | ria now current in Europe. He found Manchuria, especially the Idahuo val- | ley, is very fertile and has a dense| Chinese population. Much money, the | Consul says, is being spent between | Viadivostok and Port Arthur in the| erection of many permanent bulldings.

Whether they led to posi- | tive results or simply disclosed the im- possibility of reaching an agreement, the diplomats expect to ascertain from | Washington or Tokio.” Editorially, the National Zeitung says it does . not ®xpect that the United ! States will seriously oppose Russia, “which has been acting as peacemaker for American commerce.” —_——— ROBBER ALVORD ENTERS PLEA OF GUILTY TRAIN _ Notorious ' Desperado Escapes With Sentence of Two Years' Imprison- ment in Yuma Penitentiary.

PETERSBURG, Dec. 9.—The first trial of persons alleged to be in- volved in the massacre of Jews at Kishinev will be concluded this week. | The court has already taken evidence of 566 witnesses. One of the leading counsel, M. Smakoff, handed his brief to a colleague because he was com- pelled to go to Moscow on official business. This gave rise to a report that the counsel for the defense had | thrown up their briefs and that *the prosecuting counsel were expected to do likewise because of the alleged re- fusal of the court to ‘interrupt the grial and undertake a fresh prelim- inary investigation in order to dis- cover the real culprits, Reports from Kishinev say that the investigation is a very thorough one, the Jjudges visiting the scenes of the outrages in the company of counsel for both sides. The other trials in connectien with the massacre thave been postponed until January. 3 ————— Countess of Strafford Again Weds.

A current report is to the effect that Colombian naval vessels are partici- pating in the movement toward the isthmus, but it is said at the Navy De- partment that they are so insignificant in power and size that the smaillest of the warships on the east side of the isthmus could speedily terminate their activity. i HOAR WANTS INFORMATION. 5 G Resolution of Inguiry Into United States’ Dealing With Panama.
