\ is f GUSSI INVITES WAR $0 UNTED STATES MAY ACT Czar Has Broken Faith with Us in Seek- ing to Hold Manchuria, and Joint Action with England and Japan in Forbidding China to Accede to De- mands Is Likely— Washington Deeply Concerned, e ‘WASHINGTON, April 24.—The despatches from Peking announcing the terms which Russia has named to China for the carrying out of the Manchurian agreement were read with deep concern in diplomatic circles While the diplomats are not disposed, for obvious reasons, to publicly comment on them, it is expected that at least the United States, Great Britain and Japan will join in a firm note to the Chinese Government, in- sisting that China do not agree to the conditions which Russia aeeks to impose. 1 ool] { WE MAY TAKE INITIATIVE, It is rather expected in diplomatic quarters that, the United States will take the initiative, possibly because of the prompt ackion taken by Secretary ‘Hay on one other occasion, when Russia sought to secure an agreement with China, which was held by this and other powers to be inimical to their interests. The dnterests of the United States, Great Britain and Japan in Man- ehurla are euch, it is eaid, to bring those countries closely together in this matter. Minister Conger has cabled to Secretary Hay a synopsis of Russia's @emands on China in regard to Manchuria. This account agrees precisely with the full and accurate’prese reports of Rus&ia’s last coup from the Qhinese capital. Secretary Hay will take no action in the matter until he has communi- @ated the facts to the President and has learned the latter's wishes, BREACH OF FAITH. The tmpression here is that the Russian action is a distinct breach of faith with the United States.. The Russian Government pledged itself three times formally, and the documents are on record, that the “open door” should be maintained in Manchuria, and that the Ruesian troops would be mithdrawn as soon as peace was restored. Finally the latter promise took the shape of a treaty stipulation. It was provided that the evacuation should take place within three distinct Periods. The last Russian soldier should have quit Manchuria on the 8th of this month according to that treaty. But a plausible explanation for a temporary retention of the remain- (mg Russian troops was offered by Russia, in the claim that the country fwas still disturbed and th&t vigorous military methods were necessary in tthe interests of sanitation. é The government of the United States has recorded its ideas of what should be done in Manchuria, and as the result of Secretary Hay's projected conference with the President it is probable that a further remonstrance will be added. 3 ‘ JAPAN, READY FOR FIGHT, RUSHES WARSHIPS TO CHINA LONDON, April 24.—With three Japanese warships hurrying to Niu- Chwang and Marquis Ito appealing to the Powers to stay the hand of Russia, the situation in the East has -eached the long expected crisis, After two years’ diplomatizing Russia has thrown off the mask and demands that China cede to her sovereignty of Manchuria to the exclusion of all the other nations, : This is the Czar’s belated reply to the offensive and defensive allignce between Great Britain Japan formed one year ago to preserve the*in- tegrity of the Chinese pire and curb Russian aggression in the Orient. It is the Czar’s repudiation, moreover, of all assurances made since 1900 to the world powers regarding his Chinese policy. To enforce the demand for sovereignty in Manchurla means war. . RUSSIA’S DEMAND A SLAP AT US. Russia’s demand that no more ports be opened is a slap at the United States, which has insisted that Mukden and Takushan in Manchuria be made treaty ports. Japan's warlike movements have been caused by the announcement that M. Plahson, the Russian Charge d'Affairs at Peking, has notified Prince Ching, President of the China-Foreign Office, that no further steps in the eyacuation of Manchuria under the Convention of April 8, 1902, will be taken until a new agreement is signed. The terms of this agreement are as follows: 7 First, no more Manchurlan ports or towns are to be opened; second, no more foreign consuls are to be admitted to Manchuria; third, no for- eigners except Russians are to be employed in the public service of Man- ehuria; fourth, the present status of the administration of Manchuria is to remain unchanged; fifth, the customs receipts at the port of Niu-Chwang ‘are to be given to the Russo-Chinese Bank; sixth, a saifitary commission is ‘to be organized under Russian control; seventh, Russia is entitled to attach ‘the telegraph wires and poles of all Chinese lines in Manchuria, and, eighth, no territory in Manchuria is to be alienated to any other Power, JAPANESE PRESS WILDLY EXCITED. * Prince Ching promptly refused the demands, but his refusal Probably pleased Russia as well as his acceptance would have done. Russia will remain in Manchuria, where she now has an army of occupation number- Ang 300,000, and is in complete centrol of the machinery of government, Despatches from Yokahama say that the Japanese press is wildly ex- «ited and is demanding vigorous action, confident that the United States ¢ will be forced to support England and Japan. e Marquis Ito has been in conference with the leading statesmen of the Empire regardless of party and has been assured of united support in a wigorous anti-Russian policy. If there is to be a peaceful solution of the impending crisis it must ome through the United States, which in 1901 prevented Russia from an- nexing Manchuria outright and precipitating a war with Japan. Ever aince the “Boxer” outbreak Russia has tried to secure Manchuria, through Which it bas built a 2,600 mile section of ite Trans Siberian Railway, ter- @inating in the Russian town of Dalny, forty mileg north of Port Arthur. Another line of railroad connects the port of Niu-Chwang with the Siberian border and enables Russia, in case of necessity, to transport tepops direct trom Moscow to the ports on the Japan Sea, SUNDAY DANCING IS NOT ILLEGAL, Gourt of Special Sessions Decides That Non-Professional Hdéps and ut fifteen hun An ore for a ball in Brommer’ going tnaige abo Bice war stad oe ae 8 on a baloon \- Mer was held by Magistrate Pool and the case was set down for trial at Special Sessions.

PRINCESS CZAYKOWSKI, FORMERLY EDITH COLLINS. Princess Czaykowski’s Father, Clarence L. Col- lins, Discredits Report and Says He Re- cently Heard from Her. News reached New York to-day that the Princess Czaykowski, who was Edith Collins, former ward of Senator Depew and daughter of Clarence L. Col- lins, the dig cotton dealer of this city, and her husband were prisoners in Constantinople. It was said that the Prince had incu the displeasure of the Sultan for a political offense, Mr. Colling was seen at his place of ‘ousineas, No. 12 Worth street, this gfternoon by an Evening World re- porter. He said he had no information that his daughter and her husband were imprisoned, nor did he believe that they were in danger. | “I am in receipt of a letter from my daughter of m recent date," sald he, “and she and the Prince and the chil- dren were in the best of health. They were leaving Constantinople for Bey- reuth on March 2, and I am awaiting a letter from her at that place, where they are to visit the Prince's father at his palace. “My daughter was presented to the Bultan, ehe wrote, and was received with much graclousness.’ She describes the function in the letter and quotes the Bultan as saying how pleased he was to have had the honor of having her at hig court. i “It Is impossible that she has been arrested or that her husband is in any trouble,”* TO CARPENTERS: “BACK TO WORK" Brotherhood Men Ordered to Arbitrate, and Big Contract- ing Firm Decides to Employ Only Amalgamated Members.

This decision, in the face of the advices trom national headquarters of the lrother- hood at Indianapolis, that the strikers were to be ordered to return to work at once, bas taken the men aback, “Only Amalgamated men for Fuller & Company after this, was what Judge McConnell told an Evening World reporter, “and that is final. We've got to fill our contracts and we must rely on the men who will work tor us.” Gompers Sald Arbitrate. It was reportea to-day that Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, who was here a week ago in quiring into the. carpenters’ dispute, re ported to the national officers that it was useless for the Brotherhood to carry on thelr fight along present lines, and that the only solution of the dimeulty was immediate arttration, the strikers to return to work pending an adjust- ment by that method.

WISKER FOUND NOT GUILTY. Jury Acquits Engineer Accused of Manslaugltter in Connec- tion with the Park Avenue Tunnel Disaster. ‘|THE GOOD NEWS DAZED HIM. Wife Threw Her Arms About His Justice Scott's Court Was Most Affecting, —_ After two hours deliberation this after noon the jury found Engineer John M. Wisker not guilty of criminal negligence in connection with the Park avenue tun- nel disaster of Jan. 8 1902, in which seventeen lives were lost. As the twelve men filed into the court- room the accused engineer gazed at them apprehensiv@ly. The jurors ap- Peared in a pleasant frame of mind and some had smiles on thelr faces. Whisker was told to stand up while the jury was questioned. As he rose to his feet it was plain to see that he ex- pected conviction and was apparently on the verge of collapse. Aa the foreman sald “not guilty’ Wis- ker’s legs seemed to give way and he sank down in his chair, resting his head on his hands, while with a dry sob in his voice he whispered: “Thank God.” Wife Bursta in Tears. The engineer's wife burst into tears and threw her arms about! her husband. Several women friends with her also wept and the ecene affected the jurors greatly. The engineer was still sitting in his chair, apparently dazed, when several jurors walked over to him and shook him by the hand. At last he arose and flung his 8 around his wife's neck. Thev ki each other affectionately and then Jus- tice Scott told Wisker he was free to «o. Lawyer Moss, the accused man's coun- sel, gald: “I did not see how the jury could have come to any other de- cision." Negleet the Charge. Justice Scott in his charge first gave the legal definition of the crime against Wisker, “The charge against Wisker,” said the Justice, “is not one of moral turpi- tude, but one of neglect. It is not charged that he had a wicked mind.” After reading the definition as laid down in the criminal code, the Justice continued: “He is charged with recklessness amounting to negligence. Did he do something he ought not to have done? You must understand that the defend- ant here is the only one on trial. You have no concern whether or not’ there might have been offic or some per- sons of the company equally gullty with the defendant. I do not say that there were, but you have sworn to try only this ‘defendant and not an action against the company. You are to deter- mine whether or not the defendant under the circumstances used due care and _ diligence. “It he were negligent on the morning of the accident in the tunnel he ought to be punished.” ie “CIGARETTES?
