Higashie claimed that Kanai was trying to steal away the love of his fair inamorata.

April 4—The Russo-Chinese | negotiations appear to have reached a deadlock. At any rate, they are dragging along slowly. Pokotiloff, the Russian Minister to China, and Tong, the Chingse Commissioner appointed to negotiate an agreement with Russia regarding Nortk- ern Manchuria, have conferred oniy two or thres times during the past month. Russia has the upper hand, because she holds nearly all the privileges she con- tends for, while demanding that China officially. grant them. The Chinese, on the contrary, are determined to withstand all foreign encroachments. Both parties are trying to ke<p the 'details as secret as was the case with the Chinese-Japan- ese treaty. One bone of" contention is believed to be the mining and other concessions which the Tartar generals in Manchuria gave to Russian corporations and which Russia wants the Chinese Government to ratify. The Chinese, however, insist that their Government never sanctioned these concessions, and that, therefore, they are invalid. \ MOSCOW, "Agril 4—General von Mack, the Russian representative of the Red Cross, has just returned here from Japan. tively engaged in war preparations, and he adds that it is evident that the enemy In view is America, and that operations are being planned against the Philippine Islands.
