RUSSIA GREATLY WORRIES JAPAX.
Its Operations In Manclroria Are
Overtaxing: Emperor' Patience.
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.

cent Secretary Sanchez to hold a confer
ence -with him to warn him against fur
ther interference.

bound to accept.

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. Prince
Peter has carefully preserved the family
relics, which are the arms of King Kara
georgo and the bloodstained handkerchief
that the latter wore when he was behead

tors. This bloody heirloom Indicates the
spirit of his "aspirations.

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."

by her brother. King Milan acknowledged

years of age, and described as being

Known He IVould Avenge Death.
BERLIN, June 12. A dispatch to tho
Cologne Gazette from Belgrade says the
massacre lasted three-quarters of an
hour. The assailants declared the killing
of the King was unavoidable, because If
the Queen had been murdered the court
clique would have Incited the King to per
secution and reprisals. A window of tho
Russian Legation at Belgrade was shat
tered by a bullet during the fusillade at
tho palace.

strations. Two coffins were brought In

then put in tho coffins, and the latter wero
placed In a hearse, which was hurriedly

COLORED PEOPLE ARE UNFIT
Rev. Br. Pnrkharat Says "Xlgrjsera"
Can't Be Assimilated.
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
