East Daring Bank Robbery.
Manchuriun dispatches say thai
since April 29 the Japanese have been
advancing slowly and Intermittently,
pushing forward, their columns succes
sively from right to left under covet
of. a screen of cavalry and Chinese
tan d Its.
The advance has resulted In straight
enlng fhe alignment of tho opposing
armies, Russian detachments which
were far advanced on the flanks being
forced to retire. Erdngou, to the east
ward, was occupied May 5, but undei
pressure by the Russians the,Japanese
later evacuated the place. On the left
tho Russian cavalry retired behind the
LIoo river, tho Japanese occupying
Palnotun, Sanlingan and Batzya.
It is reported that the Japanese ar
mies In tho center have recently been
reinforced. The force at Field Mar
shal Oyama's disposal, according to In
formation recently received, Is- 348
battalions, or 390.000 men.
Junction of Russian Squadrons.
Assuming that Admiral RoJeBtven-
sky meditates a speedy junction with
Admiral Nebogatoff's division, It is
believed- at Tokio that the meeting of
tho ships may be expected by Tues
day, May 9, the speed of NehogatofT's
division being only about seven knots
an hour. These ships are believed to
be In need of coal and stores, and their
deficiencies in this respect will prob
ably be supplied by Vice Admiral Ro
jestvensky at some friendly port after
the two admirals effect a Junction.
The future movements of the Rus
sian Pacific squadron Is a matter of
speculation In Tokio, although the de
lay of Rojestvensky on the Indo-China
coast has raised doubt as to his pur
pose to move northward nnd risk an
engagement at an early date.
Practically a Russian Base.
A telegram from Hong Kong to a
news agency in London gives a
long dispatch which it Is alleged tho
French authorities at Saigon' refused
to transmit on April 30, detailing how
for 10 days the Russian Pacific squad
ron was allowed to convert Kamranh
bay practically Into a Russian base,
freely coaling and provisioning openly
under the direction of Prince Lleven,
captain of the Interned Russian cruis
ed Diana, the French admiral, De Jon
quleres, being present the whole time
and until April 23 making no attempt
to check the breach of neutrality.
Adjournment of Legislature.
The New York state legislature
closed 1(3 128th session at 2 p. m. Fri
day. The closing exercises, of the
usuultcomplimcntary nature, were pre
ceded by the passage of a large num
ber of hills, some of them important
but most of the greatt bulk, of the
day's legislation was of a local or
special character.
As usual, a large number ol bills
were left in the last stages of pro
gress. Among these the most Import
ant was the bill repealing the 1 per
cent tax on the surplus and undivided
profits of savings banks, whose pas
sage Governor Higgins urged in a
special message to both houses Thurs
day. Another bill which was left strand
ed was the so-called Cassidy power
bill, which passed the Benate by a ma
jority of one vote after a sensational
debate on Wednesday afternoon but
never emerged from the assembly
rules committee. .
Trying to Bail Miss Patterson.
Counsel for Nan Patterson renewed
efforts to have the girl admitted to
ball, pistrict Attorney Jerome will
be asked to take the case up immedi
ately. If the district attorney will not
agree to the release of the young wo
man on her own recognizance, he will
be asked to fix the amount of bail at a
nominal sum. Failing to obtain a com
pliance with the request for bail, the
attorneys say they will make applica
tion to the court for a writ of habeas
corpus. Miss Patterson Is bright and
cheerful and declared her belief that
she would not see another Sunday in
the Tombs.

Effect of Germany's Tariff.
President Herbert of the New York
Produce Exchange forwarded to Sec
ond Assistant Secretary of Stato Adeo

ernment to discriminate against Amer
ican trade" under the new German

a treaty will bo negotiated with Ger
many which will place American pro
ducts on an equal basis with those of
competing countries.' '"'ie effect of
this new German tariff, which goes
iito operation on March 1. 1900. Is,
according to the claims made by tht
grain and flour exporters here, to lm
pose a discriminative duty on exporti
from this couutry, in favor of Euro
pean countries, particularly Russia.

A BRITISH PROTEST.
Against Alleged Toleration by Franca
of Breaches of Neutrality.
London, May 9. Verbal communi
cations quite recently passed be
tween the British and French foreign
offices concerning the alleged tolera
tion by France of breaches of neutral
ity on the part of the Russian warships
In the Far East. This was practically
admitted at the foreign office, but the
officials declined to enter into details.
From another source It was learned
that Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
communicated with the French ambas
sador In London and the French for
eign office through the British ambas
sador at France within a few days.
Baron Hayashl, the Japanese minis
ter, Informed the press that from what
ho had seen in the papers he believed
the Russian warships were not observ
ing French neutrality. He added that
it was not alone the question of the
Russian ships being within the three
mile limit, Japan Just as strongly ob
jecting to the Russian squadron re
ceiving supplies from French ports.
Baron Hayashl laid stress on the
statement that the French government
had refused to allow press dispatches
to be sent from Saigon which he un
derstood to be a contravention of the
International telegraph agreement
No Definition of War Limits.
St. Petersburg, May 9. Japan has
refuped to agree to a definition of the
limits of the war zone In Mongolia
west of the present positions of the
armies. North of Tie pass Mongolia
Juts eastward across the railroad and
the limit of the zone of hostilities has
never been fixed.
In view of the fact that the Japa
nese used Sinmlntin to effect their
turning movement against Mukden,
General Linevitch called upon the u
thoritlcs at St. Petersburg to secure
a definition of the line northward and
Russia made proposals that the gov
ernment at Pekln delimit the zone, but
the answers from China were evasive,
Japan declining to bind herself.
For the present, therefore, General
Linevitch Is free to take such measures
as he deems proper to protect himself
from a hostile movement In the direc
tion of Mongolia.

voyage.

elght-hmir ocean race In which seven
big United States battleships partici
pated was brought hero by tho battle

bo overhauled because of the poor
showing which she made In the con
test. Tho ships were coming up the coast
last Saturday and were about 200
miles south of Cape Henry when the
word was given for a speed test. For
two hours It was nip and tuck, there
being scarcely a change In the rela
tive position of the participants. By
that time excitement was running high
on board the battleships and the speed
contest had developed Into a race.
Finally the Massachusetts and tho
Alabama began to fall behind nnd
when the signal ending the race was
flashed both these ships were far In
the rear. Tho Alabnma, which has the
record of being one of the fastest bat
tleships In the navy, was fully a mile
and a half behind the Massachusetts.
At the finish, tho Missouri, which
had drawn nway from tho others, was
only 72 miles south of Capo Henry,
having covered 12GV4 miles in tho
light hours.
During the last six hours of tho
race, the battleships were under
forced draught. With the exception
of the Alabama all the vessels went
to Hampton Roads.
