RENEWED
Russian Troops Occupy Many
Posts in Mongolia.
NEGOTIATING, WITH CHINA
Celestials Unwilling 'to Concede
Claims of Muscovites and Russian
Government Is Divided on
'Remaining in Manchuria.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20. Chinese
relations and the negotiations of Min
ister Pokotiloff with the Pekin "gov--crnment
are engrossing the attention
of Russian diplomacy 'even 'to oc
clusion of the .AJgeclfas conference,
though an unfavorable conclusion of
the latter, with, all the prejudicial -effect
on Russia's situation, is now con
sidered here well within the bounds
of probability.
Foreign Office officials make a mys
tery .pf the subject matter of the ne
gotiations at Felcin, but the Asoclated
Press learns that Minister Pokotiloff is
chiefly Interested with Manchuria and
tho preservation of Russia's special
rights there.
Apprehensions of' an Indefinite result
are voiced in dispatches from Pekln.
The negotiations are- directed to se
curing 'Russia in her favored position
In Mongolia. These apprehensions are
rather belated, in view c the fact,
though this is not generally known,
that two .jf tl: easterly provinces cf
Mongolia Tctesenchan and" Tuschotu
chan intervening between Pekin and
the Trans-Baikal Ian frontier, eastward
of a line running from the southern end
of Lake Baikal to Pekln, were long
since given over to the Russo-Chlncse
Bank exploitation and are thus actu
ally part of Russia's sphere under aa
agreement, the existence of which, be
cause it was made by the bank and
not by the government, the Foreign
Office even now affects to ignore.
Troops Occupy Mongolia.
Russian troops, consisting of infan
try, cavalry and artillery, have been
introduced at various important cen
ters "for the protection of Russian
Consuls." These military "outposts of
the empire" have been pushed forward
into Chinese territory, the whole Si
berian Central Asian frontier chain
extending from Kcruelen, in Eastern
Mongolia, through Urga. Uliassutal,
Tarbagatai. Urumpsti, Kuldja, Kash
gar and Tarkand" to Khotan, on the
border of Thibet.
The cat was let out of the bag con
cerning the presence of a considerable
force at Urga, including infantry and
Cossacks and several guns, by the in
cautious publication In an obscure
provincial paper of a casual account of
a celebration of the departure of one
company of the garrison and the ar
rival of another. The two. provinces
given over to the Russo-Chincse Bank
cover the route of the proposed rail
road from 'Baikal to Pekin, for which
a " concession was obtained, but th6
money was wanting. The Russo
Chinese Bank also has -valuable min
ing rights, including gold.
Holding on In Manchuria.
Tho Manchurlan situation has given
rise to a sharp difference of opinion in
the government, one side urging a
pcedy realization of the provisions of
the treaty of Portsmouth for the evac
uation, except by railroad guards, and
the complete abandonment of the Man
churlan adventure, and the other side
working for delay, pleading Jn Justifi
cation of Its attitude the claim that
the disposition of China to send sev
eral corps to Manchuria is regarded as
against Russia.
A special session of the Council for
National Defense has been called to
consider the question,
WILL NOT BROOK REPRESSION
Russian Ministers. Resigned In Pro
test Wlttc Remains Unwillingly.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20. The day
has passed without further signs of resig
nations from tho Cabinet. The Ministerial
situation is unchanged. ;though all' circles
in the "capital arc awaiting with keen at
tention new- developments., which are ex
pected day "by -day, ppndcrihg the mean
ing and Importance of the remarkable
shake-up. The public has been expecting
the Jail .of Count "Witte or M. Durnovo,
but the "retirement pfM. Kutler and "M.
Timlrlazeff Ironvthc Ministries of Agri
culture arid Cprrtmerce. respectively, and
the expected- withdrawal of M. Ncmc
rhalcff from the Ministry of Communica
tions, finds the political wlsea.crcs all at
sea.
Strong efforts, it is reported, are be'.ng
rnade in high circles to Induce M. Timlria
zeff to withdraw his resignation, and thus
save further disintegration of the Cabinet
and enable It to weather the interval until
the convocation of tho National Assem
bly. Emperor Nichols Is said to be anx
ious to retain Count Solsky at the head of
the Council of the Empire, but there -is
slight probability of his being able to
do so.
M. Tlmiriazeff informed the Associated
Press this morning that he had not yet
received word of the acceptance of his.
resignation. He has already,, however,
vacated his suite in -the Ministry of Com
merce, and today he held a regular levee
at his residence, where he received many
congratulations.
M. Ti.mlrjazcff's resignation, it transpires,
was entirely voluntary, and was handed
in at a personal audience with the Em
peror, at which he explained that he was
withdrawing from the Cabinet because of
his disapproval of the law extending sum
mary courts-martial for the trial of po
litical offenses in all parts of the empire,
which was passed February 3. He assured
the Czar that his retirement was no sign
of lack of zeal or of his love for his sov
ereign, but was dictated by a deep convic
tion that the step was necessary as a pro
test against a policy ruinous to Russia
and a travesty of the constitutionalism
which the Emperor was seeking to intro
duce. His Majesty expressed regret at losing
a faithful and zealous servant and offered
him a scat In the Council of the Empire,
but M. Timlrlazeff pleaded that that body
was Infected with the same spirit as the
Ministry, and said he would better serve
the Emperor and Russia if he were un
trammeled by any bonds.
The survival of both Count Witte and
M. Durnovo in the Cabinet Is causing
clouds to gather more ominously over
the head of the Premier, who, his enemies
declare, can no longer disclaim responsi
billty for the repressive measures. An
inspired statement aserts that Count
"Witte has thrice handed in his resigna
tion and that each time the Emperor has
refused to accept it, and that therefore
he is bound as a patriot To obey tho
will of the Emperor and remain at the
The withdrawal'of M." Filossofoff from
the Cabinet was announced under a mis
apprehension. M, FUosspfoff retires, .from
the office of Controller of the Empire,
but Is slated fr transfer to the place
vacated by M. Tlmlriaxeff, in case the
latter shall not reconsider his resignation.

ties have been unable to assemble a suffi
cient force to attempt the subjugation of
tho insurgents, who have contemptuously
rejected the demands for their surrender.
They are well armed and disciplined; and
heavy losses on both sides are anticipated.

Campaign for Liberty--at
Coming Election..
BUDAPEST. Feb. 20. After further
-and calmer consideration, the members
of .the coalition decided this evening not
to proceed to the Parliament buildings
tomorrow. While not necessarily admit
ting the legality and constitutionality of
yesterday's dissolution of the Parlia
ment, the fact that the houses were dis
solved yesterday must be recognized,
otherwise the members of the lower
House could not take part in any man
ner In the next elections or the holding
of meetings throughout the country, be
ginning at the end of this week, to in
form their constituents regarding the
events of yesterday.
The members of the coalition will not
purposely invite violence from the gov
ernment, but will proceed with their In
dividual political activities as circum-.
stances permit, quite undeterred by
knowledge of what the government pur
poses to do.
Rumors are current tonight to the ef
fect that Hungary may start a boycott
movement against Austrian products, re
lying on the possibility that the country
can obtain such articles as cheap else
where, while Austria will have to pay
much higher prices for agricultural prod
ucts obtained elsewhere than from Hun

BUDAPEST. Hungary, Feb. 3X Tho
scene of the conflict between the coalition
party and the crown will now be trans

tricts, where disorders can bo expected
within a week.
The coalition Deputies plan to proceed
to their various election districts at the
end of this week, assemble their constit
uents and protest against yesterday's al
leged illegal dissolution of Parliament.
These meetings will be prevented and
broken up by the government, with tho
assistance of gendarmes, on the ground
that the crown cannot and will not tol
erate such criticism of any act on its
part which it considers legal and con
stitutional. It appears today as though the orown
bad determined to terminate the right of
free meeting, free press and even free
speech In Hungary whenever such mani
festation?: reflect upon the legality of the
crown's actions. As proof of this it was
ascertained today from an excellent gov
ernment source that the crown Is pre
pared to suppress newspapors which con
duct a propaganda based on criticism of
its actions yesterday.
The Liberal party here recognizes yes
terday's dissolution of Parliament as law
ful. The Liberals will not attempt to
proceed to -tne iiousc tomorrow with the
intention of holding a meeting.

Attack on ChHrch.
LONDON, Feb. 21. The Dally Express
this morning prints an Interview with
Pope Pius by Its Rome correspondent on
the policy of the Vatican on the church
question In France. After remarking that

it was permissible for him to wonder to
whom France would Intrust the notifica
tion, now that she no longer had a rep
resentative at the "Vatican, the Pope com
mented reproachfully on the impatience
displayed by French Cathollra.
"Oh, those Frenchmen," said he. "are
always In a hurry"" always restless, always
excitable!"
Tho single word "wait," his holiness re
marked, would suffice to Indicate his pol
icy. "Certainly. 1 shall speak In my own
good time, and that time Is not yet," he
added.
"It is a treacherous law full of pitfalls
and snares. Its passage is not everything.
It has to be applied. When we are able
to ascertain the exact position of our ad
versaries, we will In turn disclose ours.
We are ready."
In a further conversation, the popo said
he was willing to be called "inert." but
Inert in the hands of God, who upheld
him. and for whom he would b stronelv
active, when the day came for action.
LAtnones- are about to suffer persecu
tion for tholrtk," h continued, "but
let them not fear." France will never
finally separate herself from that church
to which she has always remained faith
ful in spite of so "many attempts to es
trange her."
The pope then briefly mentioned what
may be expected in the future. He al
luded to the coming convocation of the
Council of Bishops In France, and to the
creation. If necessary, of a sort of state
council .of the church, which, will be
joined by the most distinguished of for
mer Judges and presidents or notables of
Judicial orders, often repeating gently the
expression. "I promise you It will all be
done little by little."

Unrest, hut No Disorder.
RICHMOND, Va.. Feb. 2ft. A cable mes
sage from Dr. R. J. Bryan, a missionary.
has been received from Shanghai. China.
It reads as follows: "No apparent dan
ger." .
Letters which came from the mission
aries show that there is a state of unrest
in China, but they do not seem to be
alarmed about conditions. One person.
In writing from Yang Chow, says: "The
great anti-foreign feeling will probably
show itself for awhile, though we have
not felt much of It In Yanr Chow."
Another writer from Caatoa says:
Health of American Women
A Subject Much. Discussed at Women's Clubs
The Future of a Country Depends on the
Health of Its Women.
At tho New York State Assembly of
Mothers, a prominent New York doctor
told the 5O0 women present that healthy
American women were so rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from a derange
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling1, painful or irregular periods,
pelvic catarrh, displacement of the
female organs, indigestion or sleepless
ness? There is a tried and true remedy
for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has re
stored more American women to health
than all other remedies in the world.
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can. For thirty years it
has been curing the worst forms of
female complaints.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning,
la., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"I can truly say that you have saved my
life and I cannot express my gratitude to you
in words. For two years I spent lots of money
in doctoring: without any benefit for female
irregularities and I had tdveu up all hopes of
Ter belngwell azain, but I was persuaded to
try Lvdii E. Pinkham "s Vegetable Compound
and three bottles have restored me to perfect
health. Had it not been for you I would
naTe been In my grave to-day."

And it never fails, either. It stops
