Paris, Sept. 28. It is stated "on the
best authority" that in July last a pro
visional agreement was arrived at be
tween Russia and China in regard to
the future action of Russia to the
Pamirs. It is added that the two
countries agreed that the forces of
neither power sbonld pass the Sarrikul
range. This agreement, it is con
cluded, re-establishes friendly relations
between Rnssia and China and has an
important bearing upon the final for
tunes of China in the present struggle.
Russia, however, it is added, is not
likely to maintain a friendly attitude
toward China without substantial re
turns. " NOT OFFICIALLY REPORTED.
Washington. SeDt. 28 At th
Japanese legation today no official eon-
mmmon or trm -reported Japanese In
vasion of Manchnria and the reported
decisive victory of the Japanese near
Uoukden, conld be obtained, bnt the
reports were credited. It was pointed
ont by the Japanese that an invasion
of Manchuria would be a direct result
of the Japanese victory at Ping Wang,
and the diplomats at the legation were
willing to credit the news of a repeti
tion of the triumph of the soldiers of
the Mikado in the new territory.
The report from Paris of a provi
sional agreement between Rn-sia and
China said to have been effected in
July by which Ruisja agreed not to
cross bar Rikul range was regarded as
possible, if not probable, at the Japa
nese legation, although ibe fact of its
having been kept so long secret was
believed to militate against its authen
ticity. It was pointed out, however,
that suoh an agreement made just as
the trouble between China and Japan
whs being precipitated had no bearing
on that struggle and was probably
simply a provisional settlement of the
Funiirian question which has long
been a contention for the diplomats of
the Chinese empire and czar. The Pa
mirian tablelands, inhabited by the
Tartars, lie on the northwestern fron
ier of China, separating that country
from Asiatio Russia.
London, Sept. 29. The Shanghai
correspondent of the Times says- ''It

Detective Drummond Will Be Asked
to Produce Records That
Have Vanished.
Washington, D. C. Sept. 28 It is
said that gDeteetive Drummond. who
effected the eapture in New York yes
terday of Captain W. H. Howgate, will
De canea upon to explain why no record
was left in tbe files of theseeret serv
ice office in connection with the How-
gate case.

tained for a period of eight months.

by a Demoorat, William P. Hszea, of
Ohio. Mr. Hazen found no trace in
the files of tbe department of anything
ooncernmg tbe History of tbe efforts of
the secret service to eapture Hewgate.
The first imonlae of tha treasury offi
cials was to demand. :aa . axaxuidation
from Air. Drummond, but this demand,
for obvious reasons was postponed. It
is now said that during the early part
oi oepiemoer tne secret service bureau
received Information that Howgate was
mwew xorK. While they were pur
suing their investigations Mr. Drum
mond made the capture. It is now
understood the department will at
onoe sail upon Mr. Drummood for any
papers or data bearing npon tbe How
gate case which may bave been in tbe
bureau at the time be resigned.

immediately npon Howgate's arrival
in Washington be will be taken before
tbe criminal court and committed to
j nil to await trial, Tbe district attor
ney does not believe Howgate will be
able to furnish the bail wbioh will be
required.

UT It rf tha A ..tin .vnlnM. .(ami,, a An
pbatloally the strictures of some of tha
members oi ber husband's party upon
their alleged treatment.
Three charges, in brief, are that Lieu
tenant Peary's autocratic methods were
offensive to bis associates; that be was in
considerate of their comfort and un
gentlemauly in his treatment to them;
that they were nearly starved ' to death,
nnd that they would have fared better bad
Airs, ivary not been a member of the
party, lheae allegations were made by
W. T. Swain, Lieutenant Peary's private
secretary.
Mrs. Peary said that her husband was
unusually considerate ot bis men. As to
the menu, he gave them tbe best lt was
possible to obtain."
"N'o partiality was shown. Lieutenant
Peary, all reports to tbe contrary not
withstanding, ate at the table with his
men, and shared their hardships in every
way. I could not go to tbe public table on
account of my baby. Some of the table
delicacies, given to me by friends, were
used by me, but my husband declined to
snare tnem witn me, saying that be pre
ferred to bave only what was given to the
rest ot the party."
"Mr. tswain," aim. .Peary continued.
''wants to set a llttla nilvArtitinir nut nt
the expedition, which accounts for his un
just criticism. He is welcome to this; but
lt strikes me that It is unfair to attack
Mr. Peary when he is not hereto roply."
Mrs. Peary, tin conclusion, Buid that she
had received a teleirram from friends
in Philadelphia advising ber to pay no at
tention to tne Eiaumeuts or Air. swain.
In that city, she said. Mr. Peary's friends
who had backed him in the expedition, are
Indifferent as to what any members of the

REVIEW OF TRADE.
A Marked Improvement for the Week,
According to Reports of
Dun & Co.
New York, &pt 28. R. G. Dan &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomor
row will say:
Special inquiry has been made this
week at all commercial centers regard
ing tbe state of retail trade. The
main facta disclosed are, flrst..a mark
ed Improvement within the past
month and a considerable excess over
the business done a year ago, particu
larly in the necessaries of life. But
second, it appears that the volume of
trade at present is on the-whole con
siderably lese than in a normal year,
at most points, and in tbe moreim-porta-nt
trades is apparently about 20
pr cent, smaller than in September,
181)2. There is large distribution on
orders given some time ago, bat now
bosiness going to the manufacturers is
everywhere slackening.
The volume of business reported by
clearings at the chief cities is 6. 9 -per
cent, larger than last year, bnt 218 per
cent, less than iu 18113 and for tbe
month of September the daily average
lias been $131,000,000 against $123,000,
000 last year before recovery from the
panto had oouie, and $177,000,000 in
1802. As these Include payment result
ing from trade deforred during months
of uncertainty, tbe comparison is bnt
moderately encouraging.
The iron industry shows a shrinkage
of demand, and tl:e prices quoted today
are bnt little above the lowest tliis
year. Bessemer pig is weaker at $11
at Pittsburg, with an impresuion that
excess of production must cause further
decline unl.-ss lower prices are made
for steel rails. Billets, structural forini
and nails are a shads weaker, and iu
eastern markets compotiou oi works to
get business tends to destroy ' profits.
There is no business at the west, and
Chicago reports a good demand for
sheets, for bar in small lots, and for
coke, pig, though platan and' boiler
tubes are weaker.
Failures are few. For the week tbey
were 235 in the United States against
334 bbt year, and 55 in Canada against
83 last year.
