LONDON, April 12.—The Tientsin correspondent of the Standard says |that Russia has again protested | against the presence of Chinese troops on the Manchurian frontier and has demanded their withdrawal within a five-mile limit of the great wall. —_——— Mail Subsidy Contract Extended. VANCOUVER, B. C., April 11.—The Dominion Government has agreed to extend until May, 1905, the contract for the mail subsidy for the Canadian- Australian line of steamshins operat- ing from Vancouver to Sydney.

' Tke steamship Redondo, at Mission- street wharf, is loading flour and other | supplies for one of Russia’s Pacific | ports. Although the bulk of her cargo is contraband of war, according to thei Japanese point of view, and will be ac- | companied across the Pacific by a| prominent Russian nobleman, it is| destined, say the charterers of the ves- | sel, for strictly peaceful purposes. | The Redondo h%longs to Swayne & | | Hoyt, andis one of the sturdiest and | roomiest of vessels engaged in the| coasting trade. She is an oil burner | and well equipped for the long passage | for which she is preparing. She rms‘l been chartered by Roth, Blum & C | as agents of the Kamtchatka Commer- ! | cial Industrial Company of St. Peters- | burg. The loss of the barkentine | Bering and the seizure by the Japanese | of the steamship Kotic left fhis com- | pany without vessels to carry supplies | to its fur sealing stations. These sup- | plies, in the past, were bough? at Yoko- | hama, but the war with Japan closed | that port to the Russian traders. The Redondo’s cargo, which includes a large shipment of flour, is destined, say the agents, for the company's sta tions at Copper Island, Bering Island and Petropaviovski. The Redendo will bring home the season’s collection of furs and make another trip, taking more supplies and bringing here the season’s sealskin catch. The furs and | | sealskins, hitherto forwarded to Lon- don by way of Yokohama, will be ship- | | ped to England by Roth, Blum & Co. | Captain Krog will command the Re- dondo, but Baron von Bruggin of St. Petersburg will have charge of the ex- | peditior, as those interested term the | business for which the Redondo has | | been chartered. Captain Boeddie whose steamship, the Kotic, was a Nagasaki when the war commenced and was siezed by the Japanese, will | sail on the Redondo. Baron von Bruggin, who arrived here a few days ago from St. Petersburg, | | i | | | is said to be the manager of the Rus- sian trading company which has char- tered the Redondo. > The Redondo is a vessel of 679 tons register, and was built'in 1902 at To- ledo, Ohio, for the lumber trade on this coast. She is 188 feet long, 38 feet in beam and 11.5 feet deep. Her hull iz steel. She has a double bottom, where her liquid fuel is stored. It is expected that she will sail to-morrow. | —_———— | PRINCE PU LUN HIGHLY HONORED AT HONOLULU Nephew of China’s Emperor Is Re- ceiving Many Courtesies on His Way to St. Louis. HONOLULU, April 11.—Prince Pu Lun, nephew of the Emperor of China and representative of the Chinese Gov- ernment to the St. Louis exposition, who arrived here yesterday from the ! East, will progeed for San Francisco to-day on the steamship Gaelic. The Chinese United Societies have presented to the Prince certain me- | morials embodying the ideas of the reformers for the modernization of the Government of China. The official honors rendered the Prince during his stay here were most elaborate; never before has such a de- gree of ceremony been observed in Honolulu, At a public reception held at the Chinese Consulate last night the Princ shook hands with over a hundred prominent persons. Prince Pu Lun is accompanied by a numerous sulte, and in his party there are several high-class Chinese women. Preparations have been made to re- ceive and entertain the Prince during his stay in San Francisco. |1ast nignt, tof two Chinese. | sues.

NEWCHWANG, April 11.—An of- ficial explanation was issued to-day of the firing of guns from the forts here which caused a certain amount of excitement and the Kkilling It appears from the official statement that, owing to the fact that the officers of the garrison did not understand the system of cus- toms flash sjgnals in use at the mouth of the river, for the purpose of signal- ing the depth of the water on the bar, so as to enable ships to put to sea, fire was opened last night at some pilot boats and dutward-bound merchant- men. These vessels were sighted by the forts some time after midnight and at 12:30 o'clock the artillery opened fire | upon them, twenty-four shots being fired, including projectiles from large guns. The effect of the fire had not been reported up to noon to-day, but the firing caused excitement among the troops, during which a sentry fired upon and killed two Chinese opposite the foreign settlement and three mem- bers of the forts. The Chinese had be- come alarmed at the firing and were endeavoring to cross the river. In view of the reports received here of Japanese activity in Korea and of the arrival of Japanese troops on the Yalu River, it is understood that the trcops of the garrison had been fully warned that it was possible the Japan- ese would make an attack on this place and the citizens, on hearing the firing, naturally supposed that the attempt was being made last night. LR TREATY PLEASES RUSSIA. Muscovite Ts Glad France and Great Brifain Are at Peace. . ST. PETERSBURG, April 11.—The| news of the signing of the Anglo- Frénch colonial treaty was cordially received here. In responmsible official circles the understanding between the allies of the two belligerents is re- garded -as the best guarantee against omplications, and, when the war is over and Russia victorious, as an as- surance that Great Britain will not try to prevent her reaping the fruits of her triumph. PARIS, April 11.—Russian Embassa- dor Nelidoff, acting on instructions from Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, has expressed to Foreign Minister Del- casse the satisfaction of Russia at the | conclusion of the Anglo-French colonial treaty. This id accepted as Russia’s answer to the reports that the Anglo-French treaty was indirectly hostile to Russia. Nelidoff said: “We are friends and allies of France. As friends, we rejoice at your suc- cesses. As allies, we are gratified at this new guarantee of French strength and security. We naturally wish to see our allies as strong as possible, and with the least possible international is- Therefore, as the accord re- moves numerous vexations, it is most agreeable to Russia.” As indicating that the accord will have the effect of improving the rela- tions between Russia and Great Brit- ain, the Embassador concludes with saying: “The old proverb, ‘Friends of our friends are our friends,” may be again verified in this case.” —_———— RED RIVER CAUSING DAMAGE IN WINNIPEG Canadian Pacific Bridge Is Destroyed by Assinaboine and Traffic Is Stopped. WINNIPEG, Man., April 11.—At mid- night flood water from the Red River is flowing down Main street, and the barns of the Winniveg Electric Rail- way Company are being washéd by a strong current. Since yesterday the Red River has risen nineteen feet and people along its banks are fleeing to places of safety. The Assinaboine River also is rising rapidly. At Ox Bow eighteen feet of the Ca- nadian Pacific’'s massive steel bridge has been washed away, stopping transcontinental traffic, which will not be resumed for several days. Four other bridges have also been washed ! away at O Bow, as well as a number of houuflonl the river bank. Port- ge La Prairie, Selkirk, Emerson and Brandon report much damage. The Short, Quick Way.

PETERSBURG, April 11.—Ex- | ceptionally reliable information regard- | ing the Russian military pians confirms the repeated announcements that thelel | plans will not mature until late in the | summer. They are of far greater mag- nitude than is generally belleved | [abroad and take into account all pos. | sible contingencies. General Kuropatkin, remembering | !the experience of Russia during her I'war with Turkey, when the Russian iarmy placed in the fleld at the begin- { ning had to be more than doubled, has | insisted that the men and guns to be i placed at his disposal shall cover th: ! extreme limit required to settle the fate of the campaign., i The Russian plans are predicated | jupon Napoleon's dictum that “God fights on the side of the heaviest bat- talions,” and they are being worked out and timed so as to apply to a superi- ority of numbers on land and sea sim- uitaneously. The army is designed to ! attain .the enormous total of 500,000 men at the time scheduled for the re- | inforcement of Vice Admiral Makaroff's fleet with the Baltic squadron. The { Seventeenth and Tenth Army Corps, now drafting, are expected to reach | Manchuria by the middle of June. The | mobilization of four other corps, at| least two of which will be ffom the Volga, will be announced by the middle of next month and they will start east- ward a month later, reaching their destination at the end of August. Rear Admiral Rojestrensky will hoist | his flag as commander of the formid- able Baltic squadron early in July and will sail immediately for Port Arthur with the following vessels: The battle- ships Slava, Borodino, Orel, Kniaz Scuvaroff, Alexander III and Oslabya, the last named being now en route here from Cherbourg; the cruisers Aurora, Dmitri Donskoi, Svietland, Almaz, Jemtchug and Izumrud, and the trans- perts Kamtschatka and Ocean, each | carrying 1000 tons of coal. The Tem- perley conveyers ordered in the United States are expected soon and they will enable the squadron to cual at sea. The last possible difficulty regarding the passage of the Suez canal disap- | peared last week with the signing of | the Anglo-French colonial treaty, by which Great Britain adheres to the convention of 1888 concerning the free | passage of the canal. PARIS, April 12.—The Echo de Paris this morning publishes the following dispatch from its St. Petersburg corre- | spondent: “The First, Second, Third and Fourth Army Corps have taken up positions in Manchuria and the Fifth Army Corps is in Western Siberia, advancing toward designated positions. These, | with the Tenth and Seventeenth Army | | Corps, the Cossacks actually in the Far | East and the Caucasian cavairy now | being mobilized, will bring the total | | number of men in the army and at | | the seat of war up to 460,000 by the end | | of May. , “General Kuropatkin intends to have the Caucasian mountaineers operate in Korea, which they will enter when it is considered that the decisive moment has arrived to drive out the Japanese, which will not be before August. “I learn that fifteen batteries of eight guns each are now between Liaoyang and Harbin. The engineers are doub- ling the line between Kuituk and Duho. “A large order for mountain batter- ies has opeen given to Russian firms. “French Embassador Bombard, who |is now in Paris, on the pretext of spending the Easter holidays with his son, has really gone to consult Del- casse concerning the significance of the British entente with reference to the Russian alliance.” ————— CONGRESSMAN PINCKNEY'S BROTHER IS MURDERED ! & Two Negroes Have Been Charged With the Crime and Great Ex- citement Prevails. HEMPSTEAD, Texas, April 11.— | Warrants have been issued for two negroes, charging them with the mur- der of Tucker Pinckney, brother of | Congressman John M. Pinckney, at a church eight miles from here. It is expected that there will be a number of other arrests. There Is much ex- citement over the entire county.” Pinckney and George Groce rode up | to the church late in the afternoon. | "There had been trouble between George | Groce and some of the negroes who | were at the church at the time and, as Pinckney entered the church to get a drink of water, shooting was begun by | the negroes in the church. Seven shots | were fired in thg buflding and all of | them took effect in the body of Pinck- | ney, who fell dead just outside the door. ! Groce shot two of the negroes who | were outside, but neither of them is | fatally wounded. The remainder of the | blacks scattered and they are keeping close to their homes. Congressman Pinckney and his sister are to arrive here Wednesday and the | funeral of the dead man will be held ! at that time. If there is to be any fur-, ther trouble, it is not likely to happen until after the funeral. —_—————— NEW YORK AUTOMOBILISTS HURT CHILDREN IN ROME | Mob Surrounds Vehicle and Threatens | Violence, but Police Protect Occupants.
