ASSURANCES, IT REMAINS
UNCHANGED.
London, May 20.—According t.o a
Peking dispatch to the Times, the
situation at New Chwang and in
Manchuria, in spite of proclamations
and assurances, is unchanged. There
is a constant flow of Russians and war
mateiial to both the Chinese and
Korean banks of the Yalu river.
Trustworthy evidence, says the dis
patch, confirms the report that num
bers of Chinese described as farmer
brigands are officered by Russians.
Reviewing the Manrhurian situation
and commenting on the apathy of the
powers, the Times correspondent
avers that China is agreeing one by
one to al! the demands'^plfesented bv
M. Plancon, the Russian charge d*
affanes, which she pretended to re
ject en bloc. She has already under
taken not to alienate any portion ot
Manchuria to any other power, not to
alter the present administration in
Mongolia, not to or^n any new treaty
ports in Manchuria and has given an
assurance not to employ foreigners in
the administration of Manchuria, and,
whether China gives hpr consent or
not. Russia retains the telegraph line
between Port Arthur and Mukden.
China also has agreed that Russia
shall hare ful control of the customs
at New Chwang and there" is little
d---ibt that an agreement exists giving
Russia exclusive mining rights in the
Mukden province. When Manchuria
is gone what security will there be,
asks the correspondent, for the posi
tion of the Japanese In Korea, mili
tary or civil? Does anyone know
what secret agreements were signed
by the emperor of Korea during the
year he' resided as a refugee in the
Russian legation at Seoul?
The Times correspondent asserts
that on April 23, M. Plancon handed
to United States Minister Conger an
official copy of the Russian demands
on China In the original Russian'
written in his own hand.
NEW SAILORS' PALACE.
Opened in London by the Prince and
Princes of Wales.
London, May 20.—The^ Prince and
Princess of Wales opened the new
sailors' palace erected in the Lime
house district of this city at a cost of
$180,000 by the British and Foreign
Sailors' society. A large number of
American women were present and
handed purses to the princess for the
fitting up of the "American room."
Ambassador Choate, in seconding a
vote of thanks to the Prince of Wales
at the opening of the institution, em
phasized the interest which Americans
took in this sailors' societv. The
American women of London, he said,
never lost an opportunity of showing
public spirit in all such cases. They
were glad to have been able to fit up,
in the name of the United States, an
American room "where the American
sailor will always find himself at
home and be gladdened by the sight
of our. glorious flag, the Stars and
Stripes."

6HOW SINGULAR INDIFFERENCE.
Mexico tin Only Peace Power to Ad
here to Protocol.
Washington, May 20.—Mexico is the
only one of the peace powers that has
adhered to Th.e Hague arbitration pro
tocol signed by Mr. Bowen last win
ter and by Secretary Hay for the
United States. The other powers -have
"shown a singular and uhexplainable
indifference, considering the extent of
their' interests. Holland and Belgium
have been most dilatory of all in the
negotioations, notwithstanding Hol
land is supposed to cherish the prin
tiiple of arbitration more than any
other state. If this attitude is un
changed the entire expense of the
presentation of the case of the powers
before The Hague will fall on the
United States and Mexico. To this
extent the other powers would profit
if the verdict Of the tribunal be
against the, allies' contention that they
are entitled to preferential treatment.

CONFEDERATES MEET
THOUSANDS OF OLD SOLDIERS
HOLD THEIR REUNION AT
NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, May 20.—The sessions
of the fourteenth annual reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans was
opened at the great auditorium at the
fair grounds. The weather was per
fect and the arrangements by the local
committee most successful. There
were thousands of old soldiers, hun
dreds of beautiful women and above
all on every hand a profusion of flut
tering flags and waving streamers.
There was martial music without limit
and enthusiasm unbounded. Over the
beauty and success of the day there
was but a single shadow, and that
promises to disappear soon. This
was the illnSss of General Gordon, the
commander-in-chief of the organiza
tion. He was not well when he left
his hotel for the auditorium and had
not been in his usual health for sev
eral'days. Nothing but his grim fight
ing spirit carried him through the
day without something akin to col
lapse. His condition is in no manner
serious, but it is possible that he may.
not be alile to preside at all the ses
sions at the auditorium.
General Gordon was given an ova
tion when he took his seat at the
opening of the convention.
General J. B. Levert called the as
sembly to order and Rev. J. William
Jones delivered an eloquent invoca
tion.
Then in succession came speeches
of welcome to the veterans from the
mayor of New Orleans, Hon. Paul
Capdeville, Lois Charbounet, and Gov
ernor W. W. Heard. After a. ,few
opening words of welcome, the govern
or said:
Faced Gigantic Coalition, i
"Veterans, the outcome of the strug
gle that you carried on for four long
years against the most powerful forces
and armaments that the world has yet
seen in no manner or sense can ob
scure the glory and fame that you
won for Dixie's Land. It is not ex
travagent to say that the 600.000 Con
federates confronted a coalition of
America, Europe and Africa."
B. K. Krutschnltt of New Orleans, in
charge of the local arrangements for
the reunion, tendered through Gen
eral Gordon the auditorium, which
had been constructed for their use.
As Ge-oral Gordon rose. to reply he
was enthusiastically chesred.
In his address General Gordon said:
"We will not indulge on this centen
nial nor at other times In any bitter
ness. We feel none. We pity those
who'do. We have long since drawn
the curtain of oblivion over the regret
ful and unseemly things of the past,
and we cherish as Americans the
valbr and'noble deeds of both, armies
and of all sections."
At the conclusion of General Gor
don's .speech, he led to the front of
the pjatform Mrs. Stonewall Jackson,
and said:
"It was" my fortune, and I will
never cease to thank God that it was
my fortune, to follow, to kno,w well
and to love? Stonewall Jackson.. He
ia not here, but the best half of him is
here In the person of his wife. Com
rades, I present to you Mrs. Stonewall
Jackson."
In the wild cheers that swent the
Kali the fair faced lady from Virginia
was made to know once more how
Southern love remembers, j'
