"WILL NOT DISCUSS NEUTRALITY French Chamber Shuts Off Interpel lations by Socialists. TARIS, May 15. The Chamber of Depu ties reassembled today after the Easter holidays. M. "Vaillant (Socialist) present ed an interpellation of the government on the observance of neutrality in the Far East, and M. de Preszcns (Socialist) Inter pellated the Ministry on the neutrality of Morocco. Premier Rouvier. In reply, said the gov crment, as recently explained, had given explicit orders to the authorities in the Far East to observe strictly neutrality, and this continued to be the situation. The interpellations were thereupon post poned indefinitely at the government's request, and it was announced that the government had abandoned its intention to Issue a yellow book on the neutrality question. This brought a sharp discus sion between M. Jlouvier and MM. Vail lant and De Preszens. The Premier ap pealed to the patriotism of the Deputies to refrain from accusations affecting the good faith of the country, pointing out that a debate on the subject would not be advantageous, and might lead to em barrassments. M. Vaillant asserted amid an uproar that the government' orders to "observe neutrality were not respected. He said: "Neither does the Russian fleet respect our nutrallty, and it is necessary to make it do so. It Is necessary to show our impartial neutrality by acts instead of words." M. De Preszcns declared the country was entitled to know the exact situation, so as to be able to Judge of Its responsi bilities. M. Rouvier made a final statement to the effect that the word of France was not open to debate. The government's motion for an indefinite postponement of the interpellations prevailed by 410 to Si votes. TRIES TO KEEP JAPAN COOIi Britain Realizes Her Ally 31ay Drag Her Into War. LONDON, May 15. At the Foreign Of-' fico today the Associated Press learned that Foreign Secretary Lansdowne has made no further representation to the French government regarding the contin ued stay of the Russian Pacific fleet In Cochln-Chlna waters. No alarm is felt In government circles here that Japan will press her protest so far as to produce a rupture of peace, but it Is fully recog nized that Japan has the power to bring her ally into the conflict by a hostile act. Therefore the British government, the Associated Press understands, is using every effort to keep the Japanese cool and at the same time urging upon France the necessity of respecting neutrality, in which Great Britain agrees In principle with Japan. Baron Hayashl, the Japanese Minister here, said to the Associated Press today that ho was positive that if France sent a definite demand to St. Petersburg, Vlcc Admlral Rojestvcnsky would not remain in French waters 24 hours. Minister Hay ashl characterized as absurd the French charges that Japan Intended ultimately to attempt lo annex Cochln-Chlna. He ap plied a like characterization to some state ments in the United States regarding the Philippine Islands. "'Korea, Manchuria and other territory nearer Japan." said the Minister, "are more desirable than Cochln-Chlna: but I repeat the Japanese have no territorial ambitions. Japan is large enough for us. We are simply fighting for national exis tence.' FLEET NOW SAILING NORTH Latest Is That It Left Honkohc Bay on Sunday. LONDON, May 16. The dispatch from Saigon to the Associated Press, stating that the Russian fleet had sailed north ward from the vicinity of Honkoho Bay early in the morning of May 34, is the latest news available In London regard ing the movements of Vicc-Admiral Ro jestvcnsky. A dispatch from Hong Kong to the Daily Mall says that Hamilton King, American Minister at Bangkok, who is a passenger on board the steamer Pitsanu loke. states that on May 11 the steamer passed 14 Russian warships 21 miles north of Kamranh Bay. According to the Dally Telegraph's cor respondent at Toklo. during a great storm several days ago the Japanese converted cruiser Nokko was damaged by striking a reef off Fusan. The same correspondent says that dur ing the last month the Russian warships consumed 120.000 tons of coal and adds that whero it was obtained is a mystery. The correspondent further says that It has been ascertained that the Russian fleet established a wireless station on French territory and communicated with St Petersburg by way of Saigon. A Norwegian steamer, the Dally Tele graph's correspondent says, reports hav ing heard cannonading from S to 11 o'clock in the morning of May 11 In 33:43 north latitude and 129.20 cast longitude, and that a Japanese torpedo-boat was seen running in that direction.

MAY DRIVE JAPAN TO LIMIT Oknma Warns France to Be Careful. Japan's Proud Ambition. PARIS. May 16. The Journal's Toklo correspondent cables as follows: "In the course of nn interview. Count Okuma (formerly Japanese Foreign Minis ter), referring to the Kamranh and Hon kohc Incidents, stated that the presence of the Russian warships in Indo-Chinese waters created a very disquieting situa tion. It was only the . remembrance of their long friendship with France which restrained the Japanese from proceeding to extreme measures. The government was endeavoring not to embitter the sit uation, but it was necessary for France to adopt a definite attitude, otherwise popular excitement would become irre sistible. The Japanese thoroughly under stood French obligations toward their Russian ally, but tho present circum stances were not affected by considera tions of European politics. "Concerning peace. Count Okuma de clared that Japan would neither demand a cessation of hostilities nor consider any proposition leaving Russia an opportunity for future revenge. 'Japan must become the arbiter of the Far East,' he said." RUSSIA EXPECTS BATTLE NOW Combined Fleet Goes North In Search of Blood. ST. PETERSBURG. May 13 (5:30 P. M.) A naval action within a few days is re garded as likely in well-informed naval circles. The Associated Press learns that Admiral Rojestvcnsky and Hear-Admiral Nebogatoff joined forces May 10. There, is reason to believe that the united fleet would now proceed northward immediate ly. No delay was necessary for the pur pose of coal or cleaning Ncbogatoffs ships, as his division made a stop for this purpose before entering the Straits -of Malacca. Upon the -strength of an untraceable rumor, an evening: paper here got out an extra edition that a naval battle had commenced, but the Admiralty has no confirmation of the report, and discredits It, ARMY IN NORTHERN COREA Japan Lands Troops Tor Advance on Vladivostok.

The feeling against France, which has been dying out, is again becoming stronger and it is feared that that the government may yet be forced to act- It is openly charged by the semi official newspapers that France has again proven her Insincerity and that she never had any intention of driving Russia out of French waters.

Been Big Buyer and. Plans to Push .July Wheat to a Dollar, but Moves Quietly Condi tions Favor Him. CHICAGO. May 13. iSpccIal.) John W. Gates is said to be at the head of a big bull movement In July wheat. "Within the last three or four days, it is reported by men who were close observers of his oper ations in the celebrated May deal, he has acquired a big foundation upon which to erect prices. His followers are said to include several of tho powerful stock market millionaires who -went down wjtii him in his efforts to boost the price of May wheat to or beyond $1.50 a bushel. This rumor has .given color to th belief that he and the Wall-street men who stood by him until tho deal was shifted to the experienced hands of the Armour workers did not lose as much on the May transactions as reports have indicated. "Conditions show plainly enough to me that Mr. Gates has been one ot tho best buyers of July wheat within he last few days, not only here, but at the North western markets." said a pit trader of prominence, "and I have reason to be lieve that he is planning to lift tho op tion to the dollar mark. Evidently, if he is in on such a deal, he Is banking heavily on what the future has in store for tho growing cereal. To date the weather conditions have been almost Ideal for the "Winter crop, but any sort of a setback frost or rust, or too much rain would be a signal for a bull endeavor. Gates figures that there arc too many bears in July wheat bears whoso senti ment is based wholly on the good prog ress of tho grain. Personally I believe that 'too many bears is a good bull argu ment, for, so long as I can remember," the market has never moved as a vast majority argued." Gates Is said to be moving as rapidly as possible, operating through the more obscure brokers and giving the names of others that are associated with hira in his new endeavor. ISMAY REBUKES IVERCLYDE Says Head of Cunard Xilno Once Tried to Form Trust. LIVERPOOL. May 13. A sensation has been created In shipping circles by the publication of a long letter of protest from J. B. Ismay to Lord Iverdyde against the attitude of the Cunard Com pany assumed in the recent dispute and there is much curiosity as to how the letter became public property. It being known that Mr. Ismay never intended that it should be divulged. The letter maintains that the Cunard Company's distrust of the steamship combine Is inconsistent, because in 1SSS the Cunard Company sought to form a similar inter national combination with the American and other lines, but excluding the White Star Line. The chairman of the Cunard Company at that time expressed a. strong opinion that such a combination would be favorably regarded In the highest political circles of Great Britain It is difficult, therefore, Mr". Ismay's- letter continues, to understand why a. similar combina tion now should. In the Cunard Company's opinion, be detrimental and menacing, merely because the Cunard Instead of the White Star Line Is not included.

OUR REMARKABLE EXILES Interesting Colony of Americans Liv ing in British Honduras. (Washington Star.) "No more remarkable colony of Amer ican exiles can be found anywhere than Toledo settlement in British Honduras," Bald R. F. Jackson, of New Orleans, to a Star reporter a day or two ago. "It Is a bit of Louisiana In a tropic settlement preserved to show us what the good old Creole days' were like. There the state ly and punctilious life of the vanqulshca Southern aristocracy Is still found with its ceremonious hospitality. Its finespun stickling for the point of honor. Its pride of ancestry and its patriarchal relations between master and servant. For more than 40 years time has stood still, leav ing the exiles untouched by modern pro gressive Ideas, and making their home to day the truest picture to be found any where of life and manners In the old South befo' de wah.' "The close of the Civil War found many of the planters of the cotton states m sore straits. Their slaves had been set free, their crops and livestock seized oy friend or foe, their homes burned or de spoiled, and their plantations turned Into a battleground for contending armies. As a result a considerable number of the most prominent families of the South gathered together such of their portable property as had yet escaped the general wreck and emigrated. "Some of these went to Argentina, set tling near Buenos Ayrcs, where the sur vivors and their descendants arc today objects of charity. Misfortune followed them to their new home, and they are now poorer than the poorest of the de spised 'white trash of the states they abandoned. Others went to Canada, a. considerable number to Cuba and others to the West Indies; a few to Mexico and Brazil, and Ji families to British Hon duras. Of these U families all were from the neighborhood of New Orleans. All belonged to the old Creole aristocracy the proudest and most exclusive in tho land dating their titles to their estates back to the early days of French ana Spanish occupation, and boasting that they had kept their blood pure througn all changes of government and all vicis situdes of fortune. Rich family took along suoh of Its former slaves as preferred to follow the fortunes of their old mas ters rather than accept their freedom and try tho uncertain and hazardous ex periment of making their own way In the world. "The immigrants arrived in Belize In the Summer of 1SSS, and were cordially welcomed by the colonial authorities They were given 600 acres each of crown lands, and. were exempted from taxation for ten years. The new settlement was called Toledo. "The example of the aristocratic South erners In carving out for themselves new homes In the tropic jungle has rarely been emulated. They had been reared in the lap of luxury. A host of slaves had al ways been ready to obey or anticipate their slightest wish. Yet hcy set to work with ax and machete, tolling In the woods alongside their former chattels, to pro vide temporary shelters from the ele ments, and to plant crops for their fu ture necessities, and ere long a miniature Louisiana arose where the lordly palm had held undisputed sway. Most of the houses are patterned after the old Colo nial mansions of the South The blacks are free, of course, but the relations be tween master and servant arc practically the same as those that existed In the cotton states half a century ago. The old black: mammy Is still the household iyrant. and the children's defender, just a she was in the days of Uacle Tern. "The same open-handed hospitality that has always characterized the Sunny South rules in Toledo today, and the tourist or trader whe Is drawn hither on pleasure or business wiM never regret the chance. Oae topic of conversation, however, is strictly tabeeed. .That Js the Civil War. The Tet eatwe' is still regarded as fcly, . a the mrsffMr&tai repubHe is toe4 spoil a, a ae ut4 XvctiB kutd."
