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

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. Its ifeml-ruined walls extended

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.

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

The President concluded his address
with an earnest appeal of the students
to work for the preservation of the for

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

States, where he had seen the benefits of
Irrigation illustrated In wonderfully pro

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

foster the ownership of the soli by actual
homemakers.

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.
Senator A. G. Foster stated today he
would probably be unable to attend the
