Washington, May .-The state de

Conger confirmation of the Associated
Press dispatch from Pekln that the Rus
slans had entered New Chwang and
then retired,. A receipt of this advice
late In the day brought relief to the
strained situation, and It was decided
by the department that there was no
longer occasion for action even diplo
matically, at this stage.
Count Casslnl, In the course of his
talk. wl'.h Secretary Hay today, earn
eatly Impressed upon the secretary his
conviction that the Russlon government
had livid up-to Its agreemento, and in
view of these representation Secretary
Hay did not hesitate to dissipate any
Impression that might have existed that
there remained any need for diplomatic
action relaUve to Manchuria by the
United States,; Great Britain and Ja
pan. The situation consequently lapses
back to where It waa after the original
Russian dlselalmor which followed the
demands upon China two weeks ago,
and for the present, the attitude of the
United States government will be sim
ply pne of observance.

DKNY AXTI-FORIOEX SENTIMENT
Hltuatlim In China Defined by Associat
ed Pi-ess Correspondent.
(San Francisco. Slay . The Pekln
correspondent of the Associated Press,
writing und r date of April (, says that
the alarming stories emanating from
certain quarters, to the effect that a
massacre of foreigners by Chinese is
contemplated. Is untrue. .
The correspondent writes that the re
verse of this picture exists In Pekln.
Never since the legations were estab
lishes here have foreigners gone about
the capital ond surrounding countries
so free fro n molestation and Insult, r
, The toliratlon Is Inspired by the
knowledge of the foreigner's power to
hold his yroud. j
Whatever attacks upon foreigners
might be made, all evidence tends to
show that they, would be against the
will of the court. 80 far as the safety
of Pekln and Tien Tsln Is concerned,
the viceroy. Tan Shi Kal, controls a
large and effective force of soldiers,
well drilled, equipped with modern
arms and honestly paid. His disposi
tion has been proved by the promptness
with which he ferreted out the occas
ional feeble attempts to revive the box
er propaganda in thiol province and
punished the agitators, cutting off their
heads for merely starting anti-foreign
gossip. . . I
However, important Influences are
present to increase Chinese hatred of
Europeans. One la the Inevitable fric
tion between the native and soldiers
of foreign garrisons and the oppres
sions soldiers Inflict upon the people.
who are helpless to resist. Another
Is the presence of a large body of
camp followers, composed of the low
est classes of Europeans,; whose con-.
duct In the city is generally contempt
uoiis of Chinese law and customsi and
In the provinces sometimes reaches the
extremea of . brigandage looting vll
lages, stealing horses and kidnaping
Irla. Another, perhaps the most lm
portant, certainly the most widespread,
Is the growing animosity against the
Chinese Christians by the compatriots
who were compelled to pay lndemnf
ties for the losses suffered by Christians
during the reign of boxerism,
The onlv ..Insurrection which has
reached serious proportions recently Is
that at Kwangsl. It started more as
a labor riot than a political demon
stration from the desperation of an un
paid and hungry army, robbed by its
officers. Crop failures have relnforc
ed It. It has been active for a year
and Is giving the government great
uneasiness, but It has been confined to
parts of two provinces and does not
prondse to become a national move
ment. i

are In charge of the strike and the rep.
resentativss of the harvester company.
At this meeting the demands of the em
ployes were presented. The answer of
the company has Just been received.
It Is a refusal of the men's demands
and will cause an Immediate revival
of the strike on the part of every union
Involved. - 1
The men ask for a general nine-hour
day, 30 per .-ent Increase In wages and
recognition of their unions. The girls
asked for. a wage lnerease( better hours
and improved sanitary conditions. All
demanded the reinstatement of men re
ported to have been discharged for Join-
ing labor unions. ... : ...
The counter proposition of the firm
was a practical refusal to consider the
demands of the men. '. - . ,.

MERCHANTS' PROTECTIVE UNION
While there Is as yet no organization
among the local merchants, it Is quite
probable that there will be one at no
distant day. In most cities of the state
an organisation exists for the purpose of
providing protection against a class of
people who never pay their bills If they
can avoid doing so. and state organiza
tions wll soon be formed In both Ore
gon and Washington. Such a move li
regarded as entirely justlf able and di
ctated by good business principles. It
will probably Insure to the benefit of
those who pay cash, as, If tho dead
beats can be eliminated from the mer
chant's accounts, he can afford to sell
goods at a smaller profit.
