GOOD FAITH OF CHINA IN DOUBT TO RETIRE TRUST BONDS Humors of nn Alliance Wltli the Cxnr Greatly Worry the Mikado Frc Urjje Him to Make No CoDCCstlom, VICTORIA. B. C May 12. According to advices received by the steamer Em press of India. Japanese arsenals were being worked night and day, provisions were being concentrated', coal stored on Tehlma Island, and on all sides it was evident that Japan, doubting the extent of Russian withdrawal from Manchuria, was preparing for war. Hon. Sidney Fisher, Canadian Minister Of Agriculture, who was one of the pas sengers by the steamer, and who has been In close touch with Japanese royalty and officialdom, says the war feeling in Japan Is very strong. "While disposed to act In unison with the powers in regard to the situation. Japan Is not idle, and warlike preparations are much in evi dence. The massing of Russian troops on the banks of the Yalu. on the pretense that protection was being accorded to timber concessionaires, was causing strong feeling in Japan, this being re garded particularly as a menace to Japan. One accident Is reported at a powder magazine, and there were sinister rumors of Russian "spies having fired the powder. The factory situated at Tokiofu was to tally destroyed. No lives were reported lost. . Russian Troops on the Move. Russia Is making extensive military preparations. The North China Dally News reports that there has been a con tinuous flow of Russian troops traveling by train from Harbin to Port Arthur, while other large bodies have been mov ing toward the eastern borders of Man churia, camping in the vicinity of the Yalu River, which divides that country from Corea. These warlike movements are causing great alarm to Chinese offi cials, and an unnamed Chinese official is quoted as saying that the Russians are preparing for the Inevitable struggle with the Japanese, a day which all Chinese of ficials know to be not far distant. Many Japanese papers publish dis-. patches to the effect that Russia is buy ing large stores of coal and provisions. Other reports published by Japanese pa pers are to the effect that Russia Is fo menting disturbances by sending mounted brigades to Fenbuang. Chlna-RuHKlan Alliance. Another report which has caused great excitement in Japan is to the effect that Russia is endeavoring to make an agree ment with China regarding Manchuria. The Japan Herald says that Japan has special means of obtaining such news. This report, which is published in all the vernacular papers, is probably correct. The Niroku says the secret treaty pro vides for the insuring to Russia of- rights in Manchuria, Russians alone to be em ployed in government offices, and that, under no circumstances, shall any one of the three eastern provinces be alien ated to any other power. In case of any future emergency necessitating military measures, China and Russia are to co operate, and no other power allowed to interfere. It was reported that Wan Wen j Shao was heavily bribed to endeavor to secure this arrangement for Russia. The British and American Ministers were mak ing strong objections. The Niroku states that the United States Minister, in an interview with Prince Cheng, praised his courage in rejecting the Russian demands, and advised China to deal with diplomatic affairs in future with the same determinations, which would cause Russia to quickly withdraw her troops without suffering any restric tions from any power; and. further, that, j in case the assistance of any foreign j power were required, America would lend I her, best efforts. Chinese BandltH Canxc Trouble. Several battles are reported as having taken place along the Yalu River, be tween the Chinese mercenaries levied by Russia and Chinese troops, in which heavy losses have occurred on both sides. The Japanese paper says that mounted Chinese bandits are being used by Rus sia to foment trouble to give them further excuse for nonevacuation of Manchuria. The attitude of the Japanese press shows that the Japanese are keenly alive to the situation, and the majority of the papers counsel an appeal to the sword if Russia does not evacuate Manchuria. The Chuo says that if Japan is determined. Eng land. America and the other powers will back the country to drive Russia from Manchuria. The Tokio Ashi says Russia does not Intend to evacuate, and savs Japan should cause China to secure the withdrawal of Russian troops, and. fail ing, to demand a suitable compensation irum tnina. xne lomluri says that! uujjuh mubi conceae notning to Russia, and if Russia refuses to evacuate. Japan must have recourse to the last argument war. HE-OCCUPATION A MYTH. United States Satisfied RuMKin Did Not Enter Manchurln. .WASHINGTON. May 12. The State De partment has satisfied itself that it was unintentionally misinformed respecting the reported Russian reoccupatlon of NIu Chwang. The United States Consul at that point had it on what he regarded as trustworthy authority that the Russian troops were fortifying and reoccupying the place, and, as was his duty in such a case, he transmitted the report to the State Department through Mr. Conger. Manchuria Open to Travel. PEKIN. May 12. The Russian Charge, M. Pianchon. has ghen reassurances re garding Manchuria. He has Issued an of ficial notice that all Manchuria is open to foreign travel, and adds that passoprts are no longer necessary. There were 500 Russian soldiers at Niu Chwang. who were removed about the date fixed for the evacuation, and the same number re turned to Nlu Chwang. It appears that the Russian force which returned to the Llao forts used the forts as temporary resting places, while Jour neying southward to their station on the peninsula. The United States Consul at Nlu Chwang has arrived here to confer with Minister Conger. NEW BRITISH TERRITORY.. Brilliant Victory at SoUoto Add 100,000 Square Miles. LONDON, May 12. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain announced in the House of v amnions icmay mat, as a result of the British military operations In the Sokoto and Kano districts, ending with the -capture of the Emir of Kano. 100,000 square miles of territory had been added to Northern Nigrltia and Nigeria, and would be administered by the government of that territory Interesting details have been received here of the capture of Sokoto, March 14, by the British column commanded by Colonel Morland. The engagement lasted two and a half hours. The British num bered about 500 men. with four quick-firing guns and four Maxims. The enemy's horse and foot men were estimated to number some 0000, their riflemen being armed with modern rifles and using the smokeless powder. The British camped during the night of March 13 1& miles from Sokoto, after a hard march of 100 miles from Kaura, with but little water, and having passed through a difficult country. At daybreak March 14 the British moved out in square formation toward the val ley In which Sokoto lies. Immediately after the British appeared over a ridge, the Fulanas charged with fanatical brav ery, undeterred by a withering Maxim and rifle fire. They had no proper leadership, but the Isolated bands continued to ad vance over heaps of dead and dying, often only individuals reaching within a yard of the square, where, refusing quarter, they were shot down while shouting "Allah!" with their last breath. The main body of the natives was finally routed, leaving a remnant of about 30 chiefs around the Emir's great white flag. These chiefs were defiant to the last, and ineir corpses were found hedging the standard when the British entered the city, which consisted mostly of thatched houses.

V. the farm and ranch. Such action would supplement In fitting style the excellent work that has already been done of recent years as regards our monetary system." preservation of the forests. In this latter connection he advocated a revision of the land laws favoring the cutting out of the provision that tends to the acquisition of large tracts of lands for speculative pur poses or the leasing of land to others. "We want good land laws."' he said. "We want to see the farmer own his own home; want to see the Und saved to the home builder.

AftT the first prolonged cheers had subsided, Carl F. DIttmar. 03. president of the Associated Students, welcomed the Chief Executive with a. neat speech In behalf of the students. President Jor dan followed with a few remarks, which he closed by saying: "Students, Faculty, Friends and Neigh bors of the University: I have the very great honor of introducing the President of the United States, and the extreme ploarure of introducing to you a per sonal friend of mine whom I have known for many years, Theodore Roosevelt." The President spoke for little over half an hour, holding the audience of over 2000 people in absolute quiet, except when broken bj- outbursts of applause. At the close of the speech the rooters again fairly shook the building with their cheers for the President.

The remainder of the forenoon was spent in a drive to the Interesting points of the University campus, notable among which is the famous Palo Alto stock farm, where the President took great In terest In viewing the grounds and racers that remain. On his trip over the campus Mr. Roose velt planted a young redwood tree near the site of the n?w library.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal.. May. 12. President Roosevelt's address to the students of Stanford University was one of the most important he has delivered during his visit to the "West, He spoke of the great advantage which the college educated man and woman has over those who are compelled, by force of circum stances, to forego .attending a great uni versity, and urged upon his hearers .the necessity for performing their tasks with continued fervor and enthusiasm. The President appealed for deeds, cautioning the students to do their best at all times and warning them that one great deed. one worK more meronous man the work 01 olRers- couniea lor more in me maK- lnE oi a great natl0n than an other one thing. The President spoke feelingly of the men whom the Stanford University had eant to war, numbering S5. and said it would be a bad day for this country and a worse one for educational institutions when college men did not feel It Incum bent upon themselves to answer a call to arms. The President concluded his address with an earnest appeal of the students to work for the preservation of the for ests of the country, not only for their beauty but for the practical uaes for which they were placed by nature the conservation of water for Irrigation and other purposes, the necessity of which had appealed to him in unbounded fash ion during his trip through the Western States, where he had seen the benefits of Irrigation illustrated In wonderfully pro ductive tracts? which but a few years since were barren wastes. The land laws of the country needed changing, he said; while the old laws had been of Immeasurable benefit ln building up the resources of the-country, the time had come when more rigid laws are, re quired to forestall the speculator and to foster the ownership of the soli by actual homemakers. The Start for San Francliico. SAN JOSE. Cal.. May 12. President Roosevelt passed the night at Campbell in order to avoid the noise at the depot in this city. He arose refreshed and ate a hearty breakfast. The train arrived here at S:30 this morning. There was a large crowd ot people at the depot and as the train pulled out for Palo Alto the Presi dent stood on the platform and waved hl3 hands. Settlement Xorr Cp to Strikers. CHICAGO. May 12.

TO STOP THE GREAT ROW (Continued from First Page.) cutter McCulloch had been ordered to Puget Sound from San Francisco. She should arrive here tomorrow or the day following. While no explanation has been given of the reasons for ordering the cut ter north, the feeling ls entertained hero that the President may have sent the boat ahead of him to use this craft in case the quarreling committees of Tacoma and Seattle are unable to agree upon a programme. Since last week's conference the Tacoma committee hao unbended sufficiently to ex tend Invitations to the members of the Legislative reception committee. Mayor Humes, President H. R, Cllse, of -the Chamber of Commerce, and one or two other Seattle men. The invitations to be issued the Legislative reception commit tee were ordered today. They have the dual effect of strengthening Tacoma's case and avoiding a conflict of authority at the Olympla reception. The place on the special steamer for the Presidential excursion accorded Seattle ls in the na ture of a half compromise. The entire trouble over the steamer excursion of the Presidential party seems to have arisen over the desire of both Tacoma and Se attle to show the party the Puget Sound navy-yard at Bremerton. Seattle has al ways exercised a fatherly control over the yard's affairs, but Tacoma has en deavored steadily to strengthen an Impres sion that the yard lies as close to this city as Seattle. It was understood a month ago, when the plans for the party on Puget Sound were modified, that Seattle would agree to allow the Tacoma committee to take the party to Bremerton, but Seattle would escort the visitors to Everett. Subsequent complications have arisen from the fact that Tacoma has Invited the representa tives of the towns in Southwestern and Northwestern Washington to Join the ex. curslon party, giving Seattle about the same representation as a small burg. But at the same time. Tacoma has not invited her own prominent citizens to make the i trip, keeping down the limit, at the Pres ident's suggestion. Humphrey's vehement fight ls explained from the fact he announced to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce upon his return from Washington that he had arranged the itinerary for Washington, and wa3 ln personal charge of the matter. He filled to Impress the Tacoma committee with this idea,' and they balked at his sugges tions. Humphrey since 'has" been trying to "make good" at Seattle.

Representative Humphrey and Joslah Col lins were in the Seattle party that came to Tacoma tonight to demand equal rep resentation with Tacoma on the excursion steamer Spokane and an equal voice ln managing the trip. They insisted as be fore thit Seattle was entitled to receive the Presidential party at Tacoma's wharves. Of the Seattle party, Humphrey was the only man who lost his temper. The others made temperate remarks but strongly urged their case. Humphrey, in stead, threatened, but he was met by Mayor L. D. Campbell, B. S. Grosscup, "Tom" Wallace, I. M. Ashton and Secre tary of the Chamber of Commerce J. H. Whltehouse, of Tacoma, who would not yield. They called attention to the fact that Seattle has gained two representa tives by the addition of the Presidential reception committee to the party, and had also been accorded extra places by spe cial Invitation issued a day or two pre viously. After a two hours' session the meeting adjourned with the understanding that the Tacoma committee would not yield anything more, and the Seattle commit tee would carry the matter to the Presi dent, If need be.
