A dispatch from Nlu Chwang today states that excite ment of serious order prevails there owing to two "causes, the first being the aspect of Russia toward the , United States as displayed In the recent act of hauling down the stars and stripes. A vigorous protest was renewed yes terday against the unusual action to American 'Consul Miller wnlch resulted in the Ifusslans making a tentative res toration of the flag on all buildings from which they were removed. This, for the time being, has the effect of restoring a certain degree of confidence, but the feeling against the Czar's forces and officers is bitterly keen. The second causa of excitement is from a report that the Japanese are determined to land' forces there and that already five transports are en route for that place. That the report is authentic Is taken f ronv the activity of the Rus sians In preparing and strengthening fortifications. MTST XtLX, TKXXX CATTXjB. Jtnssla Is Determined That mo Supplies v Given.

Th Inform matlon. has reached certain administra tion officials that the interests repre sented in the Northern Securities com pany, recently declared by the United States supreme court to be an Illegal combination in restraint of trade and competition, are formulating tentative plans ; for the organisation of a giant . merger of all trunk lines and other rail roads in' the United States, - The nw organization when properly constituted, it IS said, will take the name of either the "American Securities company" or tba "National Securities company." .Tf' i .the most "comprehensive under taking of its kind ever projected, sur passing In that regard even the Morgan syndicate' effort to obtain control of all the trans-Atlantic shipping. The basis 'of this hew merger is found in the decision of the United. States su preme court, which, while denouncing the Northern Securities company, large ly on tne ground of its having been formed to destroy all competition be tween two rival railroads, did not go to the extent of abridging the right of any individual or group of Individuals , to secure control of various railroad In-, terests." : : The news of the forthcoming merger is of such character here; as for th moment to cause the Interest in th Harriman-Htll fight over the distribu tion of the erstwhile Northern Securities stock, to sing into second place.
