EVENTS IN THE EAST.
Explanation Is made by the Rus
sians regarding the placing of New
Chwang under martial law. Declare
that it Is done for the protection
of the commercial Interests of the
port. Foreign consuls are ordered
away, and foreign warships, too,
must go. Foreign governments
have the matter under considera
tion and are to advise their repre
sentatives as to the action they
should take.
It is reported from Seoul that
the Japanese infantry has met the
Cossacks in a fight, in which,
though the Japanese were the vic
tors, they lost fifty in killed.
Russians showed great elation
over the conduct of their naval
forces in repulsing the Japanese
and defeating their effort to block
the entrance to the harbor of Port
Arthur.
The Vladivostok squadron is re
ported from another source to have
returned to that port with several
prizes, including a Japanese war
ship.
London, March 29.—Up to last night
no official communication had reached
the Foreign Office confirming the dec
laration of martial law at New
Chwang, and officials are inclined to
the opinion that this indicated that
the Russian government had not yet
sanctioned Viceroy Alexieff’s action.
The declaration of martial law is
somewhat anxiously discussed by the
London morning newspapers, among
which the question has arisen as to
whether Russia is desirous of dragging
China into the conflict.
) The Morning Post considers that
Russia’s action “is calculated to re
lieve Japan of some embarrassment by
removing some of the difficulties Ja
pan would have experienced in deal
ing with New Chwang in the event
of it becoming necessary to attack the
Russian forces at that point.”
Sixty-Five Japanese Transports.
. No further news has been received
here regarding the Port Arthur engage
ment, with the exception that the
Daily Telegraph’s Yin Kow correspond
ent says the Japanese bombardment
badly damaged the forward barbette
of the Russian battleship Czarevitch.
The correspondent adds:
"According to a rumor, sixty-five
Japanese transports, escorted by four
cruisers, approached New Chwang Sat
urday and then departed southward.
It is stated Viceroy Alexieft will return
to Europe in a few days.”
The Morning Post’s New Chwang
correspondent learns that the Japanese
will not land an expedition in the Liao
river valley before April 20, as their
transports are still engaged in convey
ing troops to Korea.
Saw Hostile Fleets.
The correspondent at Shan-Hai-
Kwan of the Daily Mail asserts that
the Chinese have received official au
thorization to turn over to the Japan
ese the plant of the Shan-Hai-Kwan
Railway.
The Standard’s Tien Tsln corre
spondent says that, in compliance with
Viceroy Alexieff’s demand, the Tar
tar general of Feng-Tien has with
drawn his troops to a distance of sixty
miles from Mukden. He adds that the
Russians are now left in complete con
trol of the revenue and other depart
ments.
The Wei-Hal-Wei correspondent of
the Times says:
“A Chinese Junk, which has arrived
here, reports having seen, on the morn
ing of March 28, eleven seaworthy
Russian vessels maneuvring in the
vicinity of a Japanese fleet, which was
also maneuvering. No sound of firing
was heard.
NEW CHWANG SUFFERS
THROUGH MARTIAL LAW.
New Chwang, March 28.—The civil
administrator late yesterday evening
notified all the foreign consuls and
residents of Viceroy AlexiefE’s order
placing the city and port of New
Chwang under martial law, explaining
that it had been so ordered for the
purpose c' safeguarding the commer
cial interests of the port.
Pending the publication of the full
text of Viceroy Alexieff's order, the
following regulations are ordered to
be immediately operative.
"First, the entire territory of the
city and port, also all persons, without
distinction of Jurisdiction and nation
ality, resident in said territory, are
subjected to special regulations re
garding a state of war,
"Mecond. All travelers arriving by
aea and all cargoes entering port are
to be Inspected both by naval officers
and customs officials.
"Third. The Importation of arms
and ammunition is forbidden.
"Fourth. The exportation of contra
band of war Is forbidden,
"Fifth, Person* desiring to ssport
contraband goods ate required to de
posit a sum equivalent to the value of
the cargo. This deposit la to ssrvs as
a guarantee that the cargo Is not |i>

ship and harbor guides in the river
Liao are suspended.
“Seventh. Contraband of war is to
oonsist of such articles as are men
tioned in the issued by the
Czar Feb. 28, defining contraband of
war."
A list of contraband goods then fol
lows. This list Includes beans and bean
cakes and other foodstuffs. The inter
ference with this traffic here, together
with the operation of Article 5 re
ferred to above, will stop New
Chwang’s trade.
Five ships'which arrived outside to
day and numerous others due will be
unable to ship cargoes.
The opinion of leading foreign resi
dents and officials is that, although the
rights of neutrals remain unaltered
by treaty, Russia assumes the power
to annul these rights, also consular
jurisdiction and exterritoriality regard
ing the position of foreign consuls un
tenable.
In some quarters the order Is re
garded as an apparent challenge to
neutral Powers, especially to China, on
account of the appropriation of her
territory, and that It renders the Unit
ed States gunboat Helena and the
British cruiser Espiegle liable to an
order to leave port.
The consuls will await Instructions
from their respective governments, in
somuch as there is no law to guide
the consuls’ actions.
The property and trade interests of
the foreign residents are prepared to
be abandoned.
RUSSIA N SCHEER ED
AS THEY READ REPORTS.
St. Petersburg, March 28.—Large
crowds gathered before the bulletin
boards to-day to read the official ac
counts of the second unsuccessful at
tempt of the Japanese to bottle up the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur.
Lieut. Krinizki’s heroic attack on the
enemy’s fire ships and torpedo boats
and the action of the three Russian of
ficers in boarding the burning steam
ers, extinguishing the flames and cut
ting the wires connecting with the in
fernal machines, evoked enthusiasm,
while the almost exclamation
applied to Vice Admiral Makaroff, as
the people turned away, was “Molo
detz,” which might literally be trans
lated: “He’s a dandy.”
The action of the Japanese in mak
ing use of infernal machines has
aroused indignation. No further de
tails have been received except that
the injury to the torpedo boat destroy
er Silni from grounding is slight and
that it can easily be repaired.
BRITISH AND AMERICAN
FLAGS PULLED DOWN.
New Chwang, March 28.—The foreign
consuls had a conference with the civil
administrator to-day. The latter in
formed them that the full intention of
Russia’s order of yesterday to proclaim
martial law and also to annul consular
jurisdiction, and that the same already
was annulled.
The British consul Interpreted the
order as not declaring martial law. The
other consuls were unable yesterday to
comprehend Russia’s Intention.
The administrator agrees with the
consuls to suspend a rigid enforcement
of the order until the foreign govern
ments act, in order to lessen the com
plications.
The Americans here call attention to
the apparent defeat of American aims
regarding placing consuls in Manchuria
by the execution of Russia’s order.
American and British flags were to
day removed by the Russian military
from the property of citizens of Amer
ican or English nationality.
HOW TOKIO RECEIVED
NEWS OF THE EFFORT.
Tokio, March 28, 4p. m.—A telegram

London, March 28.—The Under For
eign Secretary, Earl Prlry, announced
in the House of Commons to-day that
despite the British consul's request
that the gunboat Espiegle remain at
New Chwang, it had been decided, af
ter consultation with the commander
in-chief of the China station, that it
would be inadvisable to keep the vessel
there.
THE CREW OF THE SILNI

St. Petersburg, March 28.—The Em
peror has telegraphed to Vice Admiral
Makaroff an order decorating the of
ficers and men of the torpedo boat
destroyer Silni with the St. George's
cross for their valor in the repulse of

terprising and that more outpost af
fairs may henceforth be expected.

Hannan Will Lone Hln Seat anil'
Ponnlbly Suffer Other Pnnlnhment
Should llin Appeal Not Seeure a
Different Verdict—Only One Juror
Thought Hint Not Guilty—Jnilge
Ordered a Majority Verdict.
St. Louis, March 2H.—Joseph Ralph
Burton, senior United States senator
from Kansas, was convicted by a jury
in the United States District Court to
day of having accepted compensation
to protect the interests of the Rialto
Grain and Securities Company of St.
Louis before the Postoffice Department,
ll’.i jury deliberated forty-one hours.
A motion for anew trial was im
mediately offered by the counsel for
the Senator. Judge Adams thereupon
ordered that Senator Burton appear in
court either in person or by proxy
from day to day until the court has
heard the arguments for a new.trial.
For a time there threatened to be
a disagreement in the jury. The Jury
was brought before Judge Adams, who
asked the cause for the long delay.
He was told that eleven jurors had
agreed, but the twelfth stood alone.
The court adm’onished the lone juror
that the expense of anew trial should
not be incurred because of his failing
to agree with the majority of the
jurors. A precedent was quoted, show
ing that the majority of the’ jurors
shoald decide the case before them,
and a verdict be rendered accordingly.
The jury was then told to go back
and poll Its vote once more. Soon
afterward the jury reported, bringing
in a verdict, but Judge Adams found
that the third count In the indictment
had not been considered, and again he
sent the jury back to consider the case,
without having announced the verdict
returned.
Was at n Tension.
The third time the Jury entered the
court room the result of its delibera
tions was announced, and United
States Senator Burton stood convict
ed on the charges brought against him
in the indictment.
Senator Burton looked the Jurors <n
the face as they entered. When Judge
Adams found that the jury had made

no disposition of count three, the fore
man said the Jury had “greed as to
that, and the judge instructed the
jurors to retire and include their find
ings as to count three in the written
verdict. During the fifteen minutes the
Jury was out not a word was spokan
in the court room. Senator Burton
sat immovable, looking neither to the
right nor the left. When the Jury re
turned again to the court room, their
verdict was:
“We, the jury, find the defendant
guilty on counts one. two. six, eight
and nine in the indictment, and not
guilty ’on count three.”
No Change of Countenance.
There was no perceptible change in
Senator Burton’s countenance when the
verdict was read. Judge Krum asked
to have the jury polled. Each answered
that the verdict was his own. Judge
Krum forthwith presented a motion for
anew trial. The court replied that the
bond of $5,000 was entirely sufficient.
The court did not sentence.
If to-day’s verdict is sustained Sena
tor Burton wTTT lose hie seat in ‘the Sen
ate and forever be- prohibited from
holding any office of public trust. Each
count constitutes a separate offense,
and Senator Burton Could receive a
penitentiary sentence of two years or
a SIO,OOO fine on each count. Senatpr
Burton’s recourse is an appeal to the
United States Circuit Court ql Ap
peals, which body is the final arbiter in
his case.
BRINGS SUIT Yq'pREVENT
PANAMA CANAL WORK.
Chicago Attorney Says He Repre
sents Only Himself.
Washington, March 28. —Warren B.
Wilson, a lawyer of Chicago, to-day
filed In the District Supreme Court a
bill in equity for an Injunction against
Secretary Shaw, the Republic of Pan
ama, the new Panama Canal Com
pany of France and others to estop
the construction of the Panama canal.
He asks that Secretary Shaw be en
joined from permitting the payment
from moneys under his control under
the Spooner act. He avers that there
is no appropriation by law of any
money for the payment of any of the
construction expenses, and declares
that the Spooner act Is In violation
of the constitution of the United States
and Is null and void. He charges that
the treaty is wholly unconstitutional
and Invalid both In the United States
and in Panama.
Mr. Wilson declares that in this suit
he represents only himself.

Muy Have Come from Bogota.
Chicago, March 28. —Several influen
tial persons in Bogota are believed to
be Instigators of the suit which was
brought to-day by Attorney Wilson to
prevent the purchase of the Panama
canal by the United States govern
ment. Attorney Hawes, who has an
office with Wilson, is of this opinion,
saying Wilson has a number of clients
in Bogota.
MINORITY HAS A
WORD FOR SWAYNE
STANDS BY THE JUDGE
*
AND ATTACKS GROUNDS OF MA
JORITY’S CHARGES.
Defense of the Federal Jndge of the
Northern District of Florida Is
Made liy the Minority Members of
the Committee on Judiciary,
Which Recommended His Im
peachment-Answer That Is Made
to the Majority’s Arraignment.
Washington. March 28.—Representa
tive Glilett, of California, hus prepared
and submitted for the minority, a re
port on the resolution agreed to by a
majority of the Committee on the Ju
diciary to Impeach Judge Swayne of
the Northern District of Florida for
high misdemeanors. Every ground
urged by the committee for impeach
ment is attacked by this report.
First. On the question of non-resi
dence, it appears from the minority
report that Judge Swayne moved to
Florida in the year 1885, and In 1889
was appointed district judge of the
Northern District of Florida and made
his home at St. Augustine. The re
port then shows that the boundary of
the districts was changed and that
Swayne removed to Pensacola. The
efforts he made to procure a residence
In which to live in that place are set
forth, and it‘is shown that he lived
there in a hotel.
Judge Swayne, the report says, was
absent a great deal from his district,
but this was due to the fact that he
was ordered by Judges Pardee and
McCormick to Alabama, Louisiana and
Texas, where he held court each year
from six to eight months. It took him
about two months each year to try
cases commenced before his court. The
evidence shows that Judge Swayne
during all the time complained of was
trying cases in Florida, Alabama,
Louisiana and Texas, on an average
of about nine months each year, and
that in July and August he took his
vacation.
Second. Finding O’Neal guilty of con
tempt. The evidence shows that one
Greenhut was appointed trustee of the
Moreno bankrupt estate, that as such
trustee, and as an officer of Judge
Swayne’s court In the discharge of his
official duties, he commenced an action
in the court of Florida against the
American National Bank and other
defendants, to declare a certain deed
of property and mortgages thereon null
and void, and to recover the property
for the benefit of the creditors of said
bankrupt. ’
"Reproached” by O’Neal.
One W. C. O’Neal was the president
of the American National Bank and
he becafne angry at Greenhut because
he had made the bank a party to this
action. He went to Greenhut s office,
where were kept the books and papers
of the estate, to reproach Greenhut
for commencing the action, as he ad
mits himself, and did reproach him for
so doing and went so far as to make
an assault upon JJreenhut with a,
knife, and cut him through his ear,
across his face to his mouth and stab
bed him three times.
This assault was brought to Judge
Swayne’s notice by an affidavit filed
by Greenhut, and he cited O’Neal to
show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt for assaulting
an officer of the court and Interfering
with him in the lawful discharge of
his duties as such officer. O'Neal an
swered, the court tried the matter,
found O’Neal guilty of contempt, as
charged, and sentenced him to sixty
days' Imprisonment.
O’Neal then took a writ of error to
the Supreme Court of the United
States and that court lost June dis
missed It. HeMhen sued out a writ of
habeas corpus la-fore Circuit Judge
Pardee and last November Judge Par
dee. Judges McCormick and Shelby
concurring, dismissed the writ and re
manded O’Neal to the custody of the
marshal. It wiufO’Neal that employed
lawyers to lobby the • resolution
through the legislature of Florida and
he also employed the attorneys who
represented the prosecution at ths In-

THE RELIGIOUS ORDERS
CANNOT TEACH IN FRANCE.
So Deelnred a 111 11 the Uhuniher of
Deputies Fussed.
Paris, March 28.—8 y the decisive ma
jority of 316 to 269 the Chamber of
Deputies to-night passed the govern
ment bill for the suppression of all
forme of teaching by the religious or
ders. This supplements and completes
the work begun by the former premier,
M. Waldeck-Rousseau, in 1901.
The first law suppressed the unau
thorized teaching orders which had for
a long time carried on their vocation
despite the lack of legal sanction. The
new law does not make any distinction
between authorized and unauthorized
congregations, but sweeps away the
whole fabric of teaching by religious
orders, thus in effect substituting the
system of state schools for those here
tofore conducted by the orders.
Besides affecting the educational sys
tem, the passage of the bill is the
achievement of the principal work un
dertaken by Premier Combes, and It Is
believed that the premier will now vol
untarily retire.
The bill, which still has to pass the
Senate, though no very serious opposi
tion to It Is anticipated there, forbids
all teaching by the religious orders In
the territory of France proper, and pro
vides for the suppression within ten
years of all orders actually holding an
authorization to teach.
G OV E R NORDAvTsW ILL
RULE IN ARKANSAS.
Certainty Grows That He Haa Car
ried the Election.
Little Rock, Ark., March 28.—0n the
face of unofficial returns, Gov. Jeffer
son Davis has carried enough counties
to give him 222 delegates in the state
convention, that being the number nec
essary to secure the nomination..
Judge Carroll D. Wood carried the
counties that give 162 votes In the con
vention, leaving slxty-two delegates
not yet certain.
Although Judge Wood carried the
city of Little Rock by 900 majority,

ures at hand, the Governor has a ma
jority of sixty-nine In the county.
The votes will be canvassed officially

PUBLISHERS YILLED WHEN
THEIR OX WAS GORED.
Republicans Cried Out Against the
Paper Trust.
Washington, March 28. —In the House
to-day Mr. Clark, of Missouri, turned
his attention to the tariff question,
commenting on speeches made by
Messrs. Hepburn and Oroßvenor, and
ridiculing the "stand pat” and lowa
ideas. He spoke of his efforts to have
wood pulp placed on the free list as
desired by the American Publishers’
Association, and said Republican edi
tors were kicking because their ox
was gored, but had nothing to nay
of the exactions of the other trusts.
Mr. Clark declared that there is no
free trade party in the United States,
saying:
•Whenever our ‘stand-pat’ friends
get into a hole they resurrect ‘the
bogy man’ of free trade and hold
him In terror over the heads of the
American people.
"Nobody knows better that they do
that there is no free trade party In the
United States, and they ought to quit
asserting that there Is. We can all
be honest even If we can’t be great.”

Among Those In Georgia Who Are
Working for the Nomination of
Judge Parker Hendquarters of
the Parker Club of
Georgia Established.
Atlanta, March 28.—The Parker Dem
ocratic Club of Georgia, which was or
ganized here Saturday, to-day opened
headquarters in rooms 114 and 116 at
the Kimball House, the same rooms as
were used by Gov. Terrell In his cam
paign for the governorship. Capt. W.
C. Massey, one of Atlanta’s best known
stenographers, was chosen assistant
secretary, and he will be in active
charge of headquarters, which will be
presided over by Chairman T. B. Feld
er of the Executive Committee.
It is understood that some corre
spondence passed to-day looking to
harmonizing matters and getting the
two Parker clubs together for united
work. No final arrangements have
been made, however, though it is prob
able a meeting will be held within
the next day or two, looking to some
such arrangements.
Hon. Hoke Smith, when seen to-day,
said he knew of no other Georgia
Parker Club than that organized Sat
urday, of which Judge A. L. Miller of
Macon Is president. He hod read of
another Parker Club In the papers, but
knew nothing of it officially.
Speaking of the other Parker Club
to-day, President Miller and Chairman
Felder said: “We have only the kind
est feelings, not only for every Par
ker man, but every Parker Club in
Georgia, no matter where organized,
or by whom officered. There can be
no antagonism or even rivalry between
men working for the same candidate.
We will work with and seek the ac
tive co-operation of all the Parker
forces in this state.”
The News prints a story this after
noon to the effect that Judge C. C.
Duncan of Houston county said at
the meeting held Saturday, at which
the new Parker Club was organized:
“We might as well be perfectly frar.’<
and open about this matter, and we
had Just as well call this the Cleve
land Club of Georgia. 1 an in fp.vor

are In favor of Mr. Cleveland for
President.” The News asserts that the
majority of those who were present
are Cleveland sympathizers.
BACON AND GORMAN
ARE BOTH FOR PARKER.
Augusta, March 28.—The Chronicle
will publish to-morrow a letter from
Senator Bacon, in which he declares his
belief that conservative Democrats in
Georgia should unite to send a Parker
delegation.
He quotes Senator Gorman to the
same effect, and says while he thinks
It would be very unwise to nominate
Hearst, the latter has a very consid
erable following, and it would be Im
politic to drive them away by personal
attacks on Hearst.
MACON WILL HAVE
A CLUB FOR PARKER.
Macon, March 28.—A paper calling
for the organization of an Alton 3.
Parker club to-morrow night was ex
tensively circulated here to-day and

Gruesome Discovery Made In the

Dawson, Oa., March 28. —A white
man was found dead In the woods
eight miles south of Dawson Sunday.
From papers in his pocket It was learn
ed he was W. E. Revtlle, of Sylvester.
A bullet hole in his forehead and a
pistol grasped In his right hand show

ed he spent Saturday night at a ne
gro house nearby. The testimony of
a woman occupant of the house was
somewhat disconnected, and she was
