It is identical with the note received by the Government at Washington, and says Russia does not immediate action in it contemplate any the matter. The pronouncement, ac- cording to the Foreign Office, raises such a number of new issues that it requires the most careful consideration. BURNT RIVER DISTRICT Oregon Short Line Resumes Routeing After Being Blockaded Two Day SALT LAKE, April 18.—After a blockade of two days, caused by nu- merous washouts in the ‘Burnt River district of Eastern Oregon and in Western Idaho, the Oregon Short Line med the routeing of ough to the North Pacific Coast via Pocatello and Huntington. Flood waters have compelled the send- ght res tr: ing of passengers for Oregon and Washington points via Sacramento, while mail has been routed via Butte and the Northern Pacific. Dispatches received at the Oregon Short Line headquarters here state that the flood | waters are now receding rapidly as a result of cold weather and the worst is believed to be over. R AR UNDISTURBED, THE BLACKS GO TO KANSAS CITY SCHOOL, Race Feeling Aroused by Murder of White Pupil by Negro Ap- parently Dies Out. KANSAS CITY, April 18.—Race feeling at Kansas City, Kan., has ap- parently died out. When the high school opened to-day a squad of po- licemen was drawn up in line at the main entrance to see that the eighty colored pupils were not- molested by the seven hundred whites. Boys and girls of both races took their accus- tomed places and no sign of friction was displayed. The trouble grew out of the murder last week by a negro of a white boy, a freshman, and the whites had declared that the negroes should never again attend the school. ————— HELEN GOULD DODGES SOCIAL FEATUR!

The action of the men stopped work on the bat- tleships Rhode Island, New Jersey and Vermont, as well as on large private contracts. Unless the dJdifference is successfully adjusted it is thought the launching of the battleship Rhode Island, set for April 30, will be de- layed. —_————— PIONEER INDIANA BANK FAILS TO OPEN DOORS RENSSELAER, April 18.—McCoy's bank failed to open to-day and it will g0 into liquidation.

PETERSBURG, April 18.—An attempted landing by Japanese troops on the shores of Korea Bay, between | Port Arthur and the Yalu River, April was frustrated by the Russians. A Japanese torpedo-boat flotilla/scouted the shores of the bay, but awas re- ceived with such a heavy fire from land batteries at Taku Shan, Shing Tai Tse, Tchanhe and Bedzino that it re- | tired. Vice Admiral Togo's flagship then recalled nine transports which were on the way to land troops. A squadron of ten warships protecting the trans- ports withdrew with them. The Rus- sians have 20,000 troops concentrated at Taku Shan. The correspondent of the London Standard at St. Petersburg sent in a dispatch to his paper on April 15 say- ing it was rumored that Vice Admiral Togo's fleet had escorted a number of Japanese transports to land troops at a point to the west of the Yalu River. When 12,000 Japanese had disem- barked the Russian troops, who were lying concealed, suddenly attacked them and drove them back to their ships with heavy losses in men and guns. While the story published in the Standard and the one given in the above dispatch do not agree in all de- tails, their similarity and the geo- graphical location of the attempted landing lead to the conclusion that both reports refer to the same occur- rence. ok i GERMANS ARE INTERESTED. Announcement That Russia Will Issue Bonds Provokes Comment. COLOGNE, April 18. — German ob- servers are intensely interested in the announcement that Russia will issue in Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam $200,000,000 worth of 5 per cent treasury bonds, The announcement comes at a moment when it might be thought Russia would not choose to attempt to borrow money unless it feared defeats on land as bad as those it has suffered at sea. On the othér hand it is sug- gested that St. Petersburg may be ex- pecting great victories on land shortly, and wished its financial negotiations to be well advanced, in order that the altered outlook in the Far East may immediately be turned to account in the money market. It is reported high personages in Berlin half suspect Rus- sia's military and financial prestige will follow its naval power into dis- In that event it is feared Eu- rope will find itself on the verge of a Slavonic upheaval, insuring an over- throw of autocracy and giving no certain promise of stable authority to take its place. Y G ERG RELATIONS OF CONSULS. Question Is Raised Concerning Posi- sitions of Diplomats at Newchwang. NEWCHWANG, April 1.—A definition of the nature of the present relations between the foreign Consuls at New- chwang and the Russians has been given by the Russian authorities here which explains that the relations are the same. as before the declaration of martial law. Though in actual practice the Rus- sian position will necessarily be altered, and is bound on account of the nature of the situation to be different, as proved by the complicated consular questions arising periodically, yet the attitude and good will of the locat authorities together with the success of the present administration of mar- tial law, has established confidence, and the international relations, con- sidering the ‘circumstances, are re- garded as eminently satisfactory, both at Newchwang and throughout Man- churia, where there is no disorder. The Red Cross work was initiated here to-day when a number of native refugees were dispatched to Tientsin by the local Red Cross Society. PR ORELT TS CORRESPONDENTS WAITING. Newspaper Men Cannot Enter Russian Lines Without Permission. NEWCHWANG, April 19.—With re- gard to the admission of correspond- ents of foreign newspapers to the Rus- sian lines, no action is expected until Viceroy Alexieff returns to Mukden. It is believed that a strict inspection of every correspondent’s credentials will be insisted upon before he is per- mitted to join the Russian army. Admiral Alexieff is at present at Port Arthur, where he has succeeded the late Vice Admiral Makaroff to the command of the Russian fleet there. It has been intimated from St. Peters- burg that Alexieff will remain at Port Arthur until the arrival of Vice Admiral Strydloff, who has not yet left St. Petersburg for the front. About twenty correspondents have been waiting at Newchwang for sever- al weeks past for permission to join the Russian army. The authorities told them on April 1 that they could soon go forward, but the disaster to the Petropaviovesk and the death of Vice Admiral Makaroff resulted in Viceroy Alexieff going to Port Arthur and he only can authorize the news- paper men to enter the lines. et i RUSSIA SENDS SUBMARINE. . New War Vessel Shipped in Sections to the Orient. ST. PETERSBURG, April 18.—The first of the submarine boats building lat St. Petersburg and forty wagon- loads of ammunition were dispatched to-day to the theater of war. The submarine boat, which was sent off in sections, is elliptical in shape and fit- ted with an improved electrical appar- tus for firing torpedoes, which, it is asserted, experiments have shown enormously increases the offensive power of torpedoes. LB G N DETAIN JAPA Russians in Quandary Over Brown Men Taken From Press Boat. NEWCHWANG, April 19.—On ac- count of the declared gravity of the offense the authorities here have not vet found an opportunity to dispose of the case of the two Japanese ser- vants who were taken from the press boat Fawan, which was detained here on April 2. The Fawan having on board two newspaper correspondents and two Japanese servants was detained at Newchwang recently by the Russian authorities because she had passed be- tween the lines, having come indirect- Iy from Chemulpo. The vessel and the two newspaper correspondents were released through the representa- tions of United States Consul H. B. Miller, but the Japanese servants were held under arrest. The Russian Government agreed in response to representations made by the authorities of the United States to show as much consideration as possi- ble to the two Japanese. CTIVE THIER AT [NIVERSITE Laboratory and Purloins Two Valuable Microscopes CoE PRASSES Special Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERBITY, April 18, —On Friday night the geology labor- atory of the university was broken into by a burglar and two very valu- able microscopes were stolen. No clew has been obtained of the culprit nor has any trace been found of the stolen property. The loss of the microscopes.was not discovered until to-day, but it has been determined by the authorities that the theft ocgurred on Friday night on ac- count of the fact that one of the geol- ogy students on Saturday morning dis- covered the hole in the window pane through which the burglar unfastened the lock and raised the window. The two microscopes were valued at $500 and were very fine instruments. This burglary recalis the one of a few months ago when a pair of ex- pensive balances were taken from the assay laboratory and were found in a field adjoining the building the morn- ing after the burglary. The character of that theft is so similar to the one of Friday night that there seems a likelihood that there is some connec- tion between the two. e ——— RATCLIFFE TELLS OF WOES OF THEATRICAL BUSINESS Relates in Court the Difficulties That Beset the Tour of Nance O’'Neil. BOSTON, April 18.—Edward J. Rateliffe’s bill, brought against Nance O’Neil, the San Francisco actress, and John B. Schoffel, her manager, to en- force a contract for a division of the profits accruing from her perform- ances, was begun to-day in the equity session of the Buperior Court. Ratcliffe says that the company had met with poor success in Chicago and he had to borrow $250 to bring them East. Since coming to Boston success has been continuous and under his contract he alleged that he was to have received $200 weekly and 25 per cent of 60 per cent of the profits. He wished to have enforced, however, an- other previous contract, under which he was to receive $100 weekly and 25 per cent of the gross profits. He also wantsg them enjoined from interfering with his playing as a member of the company. ————— WITNESS OF THE CUSTER MASSACRE GOES INSANE Running Deer, a Squaw, Who Saw Gallant “Yellow Hair” Scalped, Taken to Washington.

Emperor’s Debart— ure for Manchuria Expected. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. VIENNA, April 18.—Russia’s discom- fiture in the Far East has revived the report that the Czar is likely to join the headquarters of the army in Man- churia. It is asserted in remarkably well informed Russian circles in Cra- cow that the Emperor believes his presence desirable if not indispensable to put Kuropatkin's forees into proper spirits, after the black chapter of Rus- sian experiences at Port Artfur. One Polish opinion states that ar- rangements have been perfected for the Czar's reception at/Irkutsk, and that all things are in readiness for his con- tinuing his journey from that point to Manchuria at the most opportune mo- ment. It adds that the Empress, dur- ing the month the Emperor will be away, will reside at the castle of Spala, near Warsaw, in the midst of the imperial hunting domain. ST. PETERSBURG. April 18.—Gen- eral Kuropatkin's messages embody a studied cheerfulness of tone respecting the general outlook at the seat of war. He deplores the exaggeration in the minds of Russian patriots regarding the disasters at Port Arthur dnd de- clares that “only the skin of the na- tion, as far as its aggressive efficiency for war is concerned, has Dbeen pricked.” He states that the deployment of the active army in Manchuria now covers the main avenues of approach to the Russfan position and that it is im- probable that the Japadese will be able to gdd anything material to their naval success. The opinion is drawn from Kuropatkin’s unpublished ad- vices that the Russians will be ready for a forward movement much earlier than August. It is asserted that the Chinese in those regions contiguous to the Russian forces are eager to dis- pose of their products. The Empress is suffering from in- fluenza, which 'is almost epidemic here. —_— e Fine Homes Endangered. SAN DIEGO, April 18.—Several res- idences in the Florence Heights sec- tion of this city were endangered last night by a fire which destroyed the stable at the McInerny place. A val- uable horse was burned, together with carriages and several tons of hay. Firemen endeavored to get the horse out, in spite of the fact that explo- sions were taking place in the midst of amunition stored in the stable. ey Must Answer for Burglary.
