THE MAGHINb CONTEST.
Clip The Coupon?The One Getting
The Most Gets The Sewing
Machine.
Ab time passes interest in the Sew
ing Machine Contest being conducted
by the Evening News, grows keener.
It is freely admitted that saoh an
offer is seldom placed before the
women of this city and they are taking
advantage of it.
The rale announced in the Evening
News a day or two ago that all orders
for special copies of the paper must
be left at the publication offioe a day
ahead, must be strictly adhered to.
The demand for papers every after
noon is snch that but few extra copies
are left and more than one person has
been turned awav. Several persons
have asked that fifty or one hundred
papers be sold to them at wholesale
prioe. This is absolutely impossible.
It would be unfair to the newsdealer.
The Evening News sells at one cent a
copy and offers to give the $60 Wheel
er & Wilson sewing machine, having
all the modern improvements, abso
lutely free to the person sending or
bringing in the most coupons clipped
from this paper.
This is without a doubt one of the
most simple oontests ever conducted
in this oity. There are few rules or
regulations, to confuse a person.
Papers are growing in demand as the
oontest nears the end. If you want to
add fifty or one hundred coupons to
your collection, now is your time to
do it. In nine cases out of ten it is
always the last spurt put on at the
home stretch which wins the race.
Fifty cents spent in that many extra
papers may win for you the machine
which will cost you $60 retail.

PROSPECTS OF CREAT
YEAR FOR OYSTERS.
There is a Rood demand for oysters
from the Tottenville dealers this year.
It is a little ont of season and there
for not many of the bivalves are be
ing taken np, bnt what are taken to
market are bringing sixty cents a
bushel with good prospects of the
price soon going np to seventy-five
cents a bushel.
Sixty oents a bushel is the highest
price paid for oysters in Tottenville
in several years. An ovsterman in
conversation with an Evening News
reporter yesterday afternoon said :
"I have been living in Tottenville
nearly all my life and have been in
the oyster business forty years. As
every one knows, -for the last two
seasons oysters from the Raritan bay
could not be sold in the New York
markets. Boat load after boat load
being returned to the shippers in
Tottenville.
~"I tell you this season oysters will
sell not only in tne New York markets,
but in every place to whioh they are
shipped. During the last two seasons
the oysters were very lean and poor
ones. Take this vear's oysters, how
ever, and they are large and fat. "
Several oysters were opened so that
the reporter could see them
"Many of the dealers in New York
objected last year to the greenish
appearance of the Raritan river
oysters, " the speaker continued, "but
they have found out that oysters from
other beds have the same color so the
objection on the'part of the New York
dealer has passed off. ' '
Many other oystermen told the re
porter that this would be the biggest
year for the shipping of oysters that
Tottenville has seen in many a year.

MANCHUR1AN CRISIS
Russians, In Great Force, Re
occupy Newchwang.
CHINESE ARE READY TO FIGHT.
Russia Trys to Influence American
Opinion by Appeals to Tradi
tional Friendship and Hold
ing; Out Hopes of Trude.
PEKING, May 9.? The Russians, it is
announced, have reoccupied New
chwang with a large force and have
also put garrisons in the forts at the
mouth of the Liao river/
It is reported that Russia was accu
mulating great stores of provisions and
war materials. It is also known that
the Russian miiitnry authorities have
been buying many horses. All informa
tion indicates that Russia is preparing
to increase her forces in Manchuria.
The Russians have taken a large
tract of land across the river from
Newchwang and commanding the ter
minus of the Shanhaikwan railroad. It
was stated that Russia informed the
Chinese officials that the tract was
needed for a Russian drill ground. The
selection of the site seemed remarka
ble, because all the troops were then
quartered on the opposite side of the
river several miles distant, where plen
ty of land was available.
The Chinese officials describe the
dowager empress as being greatly dis
tressed and as fearing that the Rus
sian aggression will excite antiforeign
demonstrations resulting in retaliation
on the part of the foreigners and the
introduction of more foreign troops.
Nowhere has a suggestion been heard
that China will resort to arms in order
to resist Russia.
Prince Ching, the grand secretary,
secured five days' leave of absence.
This is a favorite stratagem of Chinese
officials who are desirous of avoiding
unpleasant situations.
It is stated here that Russian influ
ence is being exerted to conciliate
American opinion and that appeals are
being made to tlie traditional friend
ship of the two nations, with the argu
ment that Russian development of
Manchuria will open a great field for
American commerce, while the opposi
tion of the Unitecf States to Russia's
plans might provoke retaliation against
American trade.
The Russians have established a con
sulate at Mukden. ,
Russia's coup has caused profound
surprise here, as recent developments
have led to the expectation that Russia
would compromise her demands since
they had been revealed to the powers.
The latest maneuver is interpreted as
being intended as a reply to China's re
fusal to grant Russia's demands, to the
protests of the powers, and as a decla
ration that she is ready to fight in or
der to maintain possession of Manchu
ria. It is considered significant that the
Russian army reoccupied certain strat
egical posts at Just about the time na
val re-enforcements were reaching the
gulf of Pechili.
Move Resented at Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The state
department has received official confir
mation from its agents in China of the
increase of the Russian garrison in
Newchwang, Manchuria, and there is
reason to believe if President Roose
velt approves that it is preparing to
take vigorous steps in the matter. Sec
retary Hay is in communication with
President Roosevelt in California, and
upon the latter's decision the secre
tary's course will depend.
Anglo-Amrrlcnn Action.
LONDON, May 9.? The great London
dailies warmly welcome the prospect
of the United States initiating joint tui
tion with Great Britain and Japan
against the designs of Russia in Man
churia. They believe that such con
certed action would induce Russia to
beat a prudent retreat. (
