VICTORIA, B. a, June 12. Japanese papers received In today's malls from the Orient are still filled with reports of movements of troops, and much space is given to protests regarding Russian troops being stationed on the Yalu under guise of protecting a timber concession in Peng Ma forest, obtained from Corea in 1S9S. Many Japanese papers say Russia has cleverly manipulated this coup to secure command of the Yalu, and thus dominate Corea. A few Japanese journals regard this affair as a mere diversion, but the majority comment warmly. The Japan Mall says these events, taken with Rus sian action In Manchuria, are overtaxing the Japanese patience. The Russian papers printed at Vladi vostok give practically no news regard ing the Manchurlan entente other than reprints from Japanese papers. The Vladivostok, one of the Russian journals, says that orders have been Issued by the military authorities that Chinese brig ands in Manchuria are not to be attacked, as they have shown themselves more de voted to Russia than to China. At the semi-annual meeting of the Japan Mall Steamship Company, held at Toklo on May 25, a half-yearly profit of about )1,500,000 was shown. Diplomatic Relation Badly Strained SAN JOSE.

Czar's disgust with King Milan's course .rendered the Russian sovereign friendly to the Karageorgvich family. It was the Czar who arranged Prince Peter's mar riage with Princess Zorka of Montenegro. Prince Peter then withdrew from warfare to the City of Paris, where .he enjoyed a period of repose. Allovrx Xo Favors to Ills Children. Of his three children) his daughter Hclene is living with her father, and his two sons, George and Alexander, are both in the corps of pages at the Russian court, but at their father's express request the sons are not enjoying the special privi leges granted to the children of Princes. During his life in Geneva he kept up his relations with political leaders in Servia, but always maintained that he took no actlvo part In the plots against King Alexander. At the time of. Alavantic's attempt at revolt in 1902, charges of com plicity were made against Prince Peter, who then addressed an Indignant letter of denial to the Paris papers. Prince Peter constantly cultivated re lations with the Russian court. Through his late wife he has many connections, in cluding his brother-in-law. Nlcolalevlch, the Crown Prince of Montenegro, the Queen of Italy, Princess Frances Jose of Battenberg.. and Prince Mirko and Princesses Xenia and Vera of Montenegro. Through all his wanderings.

Don't miss this Bargain Carnival today Servia, who has himself been a pretender to the throne, during the course of an Interview here today announced that he had abandoned all claim thereto and wel comed the advent of liis uncle as the beat solution. The Prince, like other well informed persons, attributes the revolution to dissatisfaction at the late King Alex ander's marriage to the court attendant, and to the King's hostility to the Radi cals. The new Servian Premier, D. Avakumo vics. is quoted in a dispatch from Bel grade today as saying: f "I returned home yesterday from Alex nlabe, where I was on professional busi ness. I was at once summoned to the Ministry, where the other Ministers had assembled. They Informed me that the deed was committed at their request. I accepted the Premiership. "At present we are not In communica tion with Karageorgevlch, even if the army has proclaimed him King. His elec tion as King is probible, howevor, as there Is no other course open. It will re main for the Skuptschlna to remove him or not. The government will not propose him, but will leave this task to the rep resentatives of the people. "We Ministers only accepted ofllce In or der to avoid the country falling into a condition of anarchy. As soon as a King is elected we will appoint a definite Cab inet. In the event of the election of Prince Karageorgevlch. a deputation will go to Geneva. Inform him of his election and Invito him to come to Belgrade. Ho will bo Peter I. "The constitution of 101 will bo the basis of the future governmental system. As to the present condition of the country, calm prevails everywhere. There have been no disturbances, and the -situation promises to become better in the future. Those who speak of excited popular sen timent " and predict further changes are entirely wrong. "The assassination of tho rulers now be longs to history. We should not judge the deed nor dwell on the past, but look to the future. Sensational stories, many of which are undoubtedly being sent forth for political effect, are being 'published, the most revolting of them being that the soldiers outraged Queen Draga and at tacked the body of King Alexander, anl those who were admitted to tho palace threw tho remains out and stamped on them." QUE EX TO BLAME FOR MURDER. Xephew of KaragreorKcvIch Says the Kins Wan Only Tool In Her Unmix. PARIS, June 12. Prince Bodjir Kara georgevlch does not mix in politics. He is well known In artistic circles and cre ates tasteful cabinets and articles of stamped leather. He told a reporter that he did not hesitate to declare that he considered Queen Drogx to have been the cause of the assassination. On becoming Queen, she made herself first feared and then hated. She brutally revenged her self for the slightest offense and pitilessly crushed high or low who had the misfor tune to displease her. The King was only a tool In the hands of this bold, domineering woman. He was so weak-minded that a doctor who attended him at Biarritz declared that if he had been a Frenchman he would have been declared Intellectually unfit for mili tary service. The Prince added:- "The youthful Sovereign was the victim of the merited unpopularity of his con sort. -He could not resist tho culpability which finally destroyed him. Moreover, 'whoso draws the sword shall perish by the sword.' My family has been tried to tho utmost. My grandfather was assas sinated. 17 of my relatives have been exe cuted without trial and others were tor tured. Such crimes must be expiated sooner or later." HEIR TO THUOXE IS. IX TURKEY.

BERLIN, June 12. A dispatch to tho Cologne Gazette from Belgrade says the massacre lasted three-quarters of an hour.

Kansas City Star. The Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, of New York, In a recent interview discussed the negro problem and the National type of the American of the future. "Since my return from the South," the doctor said, "I have been informed that some of my critics have accused me of ex pressing Tegrets that slavery days are over. That Is not true. I have merely said that most ot the 'niggers are unfit for the responsibilities of citizenship. I call them "niggers' because that Is what they call themselves and because the word has been accepted among educated people in the South. "I did not go. down to the Southland to win popularity by expressing views con cerning the rae problem such as South erners approve. On the contrary, I told them nothing more than I have told the members of my own congregation more than once. "It is a very serious problem to see two races multiplying and gaining In num bers and strength, side by side, in this great land of ours. It is a most solemn problem.. one that saddens a thoughtful man when he pondera over it. "The 'niggers' will never be assimilated by the Nation. They never, never will contribute, in any part, toward forming the Americans of the future. They gro'nr blacker and blacker every jjay. Their color forms a physical barrier which even time, the great leveler, cannot sweep away. "Persons who talk of assimilation in connection with the race problem don't understand what they speak of. Future generations of our race will be very muck as we are. The physical barrier that sep arates tho blacks from the whites today will be just as broad and as high through out all the centuries to come." To Be Really Realistic. Judge. "This," said the dramatist who was elaborating the scenario of hi3 new play to the manager, "Is to be a realistic soci ety drama. The heroine makes a thrill ing entrance In an auto." "What does she do then?" asked the manager. "Why, of course she meets the hero and the villain and the soubrette and the rest, and the play goes on to the usual bappj endlng." "Well, you start realistically enough, fe$t you weaken on your finish."" "How's that?" asked the puzzled play wright. "If she's going to come ia on. an aate, she and a few of the rest ought to- sake thir exit la an ambulance." '
