CHINA'S HOUR OF PERIL Wi!l Be Dismembered if She Takes Part iii War. NOT WANTED AS ALLY BY JAPAN American Government Doinj; All in TU Power to Prevent the Outbreak Which GreccJy European Powers Are Hoping ?Pledges Which Havo Keen Made to Tliia Government by Leading; Chinese. TV.i oil ; n T+ r\ t-? r* P Till* Stntf? DfV. partmcnt has diplomatically warned China that if she allows herself to be drawn into the war between Russia and Japan, the dismemberment of the Chinese Empire will probably follow. Some of the European nations which Binned the neutrality agreement of Secretary Hay are watching China iwith greedy eyes, awaiting a violation of neutrality on her part as a pretext to step in and grasp territory which they have long desired. State Department officials do not believe the Chinese Government means to take any active part in the JapaneseRussian war, but is taking every pre caution to impress upon uuina ir.e necessity of maintaining neutrality. Additional assurances have been received by the State Department from China?either from United States Minister, Conger, at Pekin. or from Sir Liang-Chang, the Chinese Minister here?that China will keep out of the Far Eastern imbroglio, and realizes that her integrity depends upon the maintenance of neutrality. No credence is placed at the Siate Department in the reports emanating from St. Petersburg that Japan and China have laid a trap for Russia which has for its object the driving of the Russian army into Mongolia, and the consequent uprising of China "to repel the invaders." On the contrary Japan is said to be more anxious than any other Power that China keep out of the war. and feels that she alone is capable of dealing with Russia. Whether or not there v ill be an uprising of the Chiuese similar to the Boxer outbreak of 1900 cannot of iruuiatr uir IUICOCCU, uuc At occuig iuut fear of such an outbreak exists. Advices from China indicate that a feelin? of unrest exists among the common people which might at any time take the form of an actual outbreak against foreigners, and especially against all who sympathize with Russia. That the Chinese people are with Japan heart and soul in the present war is evident, ! but it is hopKl by the State Department that the powerful influence of the Viceroys may be sufficiently strong to keep the people in check. St. Petersburg, Russia.?The Chinese Minister here has jriven Foreign Minister Lamsdorff fresh assurances of the fmrpose of his Government not to vioate its neutrality and to preserve tranquility throughout the Empire. "While there has not been the slightest fear that the peace of the Empire ivouid De disturbed or tnat my uovprnment would intervene in the war." said the Chinese Minister, "it was still Beemed wise to communicate to Pekin .7nd Viceroy Yuan Shi Kai, commander-in-chief of the Chinese forces, the sensational rumors circulating in Europe. ' The Chinese Foreign Office telegraphically reiterated that China is determined to continue to observe the Strictest neutrality, gi-ing support neither to Russia nor Japan. "Viceroy Yuan Shi Kai telegraphed that the i imors ot impending uprisings were without oundatioa and assured me that a repetition of the Boxer revolt of 1900 -.ras impossible. "The Viceroy is a s':rong man, who can be depended upon to preserve order. The mass of the army, consisting of 10.000 men is distributed in small detachments throughout the vast territory, which undoubtedly is under Chinese control. Its duty is to maintain peace and see that neutral territory is not violated by either oelligerent." LAWYERS OX STRIKE. ,Whole County Bar Refuses to Plead Before Judge Peebles. Raleigh, X. C.?Thirty-five lawyers, being the entire bar of the Robinson County, were charged with contempt of court. Their trial came up before Judge Robert B. Peebles, of the Supreme Court, before whom the lawyers refused to trf their cases. Recently when he called court, he faced a row of empty benches, and learned that the entire bar had gone c:i a strike. He cited the lawyers to show why they should not be punished, and in answer they gave seventeen reasons, among them, discourtesy to lawyers, lack of temperament, reports that he had been intoxicated, unanimous public criticism of his act at a murder trial, and the right of the Robeson bar to try its cases as it saw lit.

Conn.?A temporary in- : junction has been granted by Judge j James Bishop, in the Common Pleas Court, against Ernest H. Hurcl. a senior in the Academic Department of ) Yale, to prevent him from longer liv ins in the home of Mrs. Laviuia H. \ f Foy. a wealthy wido, . She is ninety j years old. Two years ago the relatives of Mrs. Foy thought she ought to have some man in the house for protection, and j Hurd. who is twenty-two years old, ! was recommended by the college authorities and by the officers of the Y. M. C. A. He was working his way through Yale, and was very quiet and j studious. His home is in Wilton, j Conn. It was reported that Mrs. Foy was | lavishing money on the young student. and her relatives made an investigation. the result of which was an application for the injunction to keep Hurd out of tue house and to stop him from corresponding with the aged ? -J ? line wiuuw. rur u muutu j^aoi, uuiu not bem able to enter tbe house or to see Mrs. Foy. nor do r.ny, of bis letters reacb ber. In addition to tbe injunction. Hurd bas been sued for $1000. money which it is alleged Mrs. Foy bas let bim have. Tbe relatives of the widow charge that Hurd has so influenced her that he practically controls ber mind. They j charge also that be has obtained from her large sums of money and that he also managed to get enough out of her for the last two summers to take trips to Europe. Within a week Mrs. Foy bas been in- i duced to create a trust of all her property. By the terms of tbe trust she is relieved of all care of ber property. I She can do as she likes with the in- i come. Upon her death her property i will be disposed of in accordance with i a will she made in 1!)00. The rela- I tives feared that if the trust was not I established some of her property might ' * * j-t - _ _ e TT 3 I ( gee into tue possession 01 nuru. i < Not long ago Mrs. Foy gave $30,000 ' to build the Foy Auditorium at the j local Y. M. C. A. Her son is former ; Adjutant-General George M. Harmon, i of this city. After she had married Foy she invented a corset which was named after her. and in the manufacture of which her husband made a vast sum of money, which she inherited. Young Hurd denies that he used undue influence over Mrs. Foy. He will tell his story to the court, when he will ask to have the temporary injunction set aside. RAID SHOWS POOLROOMS RUN. I _ I Alleged Western Union Operators Caught, After President';: Statement. ' New York City.?District-Attorney i Jerome began an investigation into the j alleged partnership existing between the Western Union Telegraph Com- j pany and the poolrooms. About the ' time that Jerome was beginniug his j inquiry President Clowry, of the West- j ern Union, who is also general man- j ager of the company, announced that | the delivery of racehorse reports in j this city has been discontinued. The j order had apparently no effect on the poolrooms in this city. According to District-Attorney Jerome, as well as i racetrack and poolroom men, the rac- j ing news was distributed here from j points outside this city. With the ink scarcely dry on the ; formal statement by Colonel Clowry. j that he had directed the discontinuance | of the delivery of reports of horse ! races to all classes of subscribers ic j the city of New York, and that the reports had been discontinued, the police I of the East Thirty-fifth street police f station made a raid on a place in East Forty-second street. They captured eleven men. supposed to be operators for the Western Union Tele- [ graph Company and the New York ( Telephone Company, twenty-one tele- ( graph instruments, most of them be- j , longing to the Western Union, and sev- ; . enteen telephones, the property of the New York Telephone Company.

Hi Cossack Ktiitl Into Manchnria?Flj inj: W Column Crosses the Yalu. S< St. Petersburg.?The Russian war ai plans having resulted in blundering 111 and defeat the Czar has determined to P' crush the Japanese by overwhelming Jj" weight of numbers. He has called the fy reserves to the colors in the Moscow di and Ivharkoff provinces, and the ai Tenth and Seventeenth army corps are being placed on a war footing with all possible speed. This means that 100,000 fresh troops are to be rushed to the ai Far East as rapidly as possible. As " soon as this great body of soldiers can be entrained reserves will be called ^ from other provinces. Four more army si corps -will be mobilized, and 200.000 at more men will be sent to the front. jn The Czar's army, on a war footing, con- w sists of over 5,000.000 men, more than so ten times the war strength of Japan. Consternation has been caused ^ throughout the provinces which have been called upon for reserves, but Rus- tr sia has entered upon a struggle in m which the cost of lives is not to be counted. The sentiment of the author- in ities here is that however long and ex- n( pensive the war may be. it must be ai won, and that if Kuropatkin needs a ^ million men or more to meet less than gj, balf that number of Japanese he must liave them. The Japanese are to be allowed to y( overrun Manchuria. Kuropatkin will, sy perhaps, make a stand at Liaoyang or ^ Mukden, but, unless he sball be unexpectedly successful against the Japanese he will eventually withdraw with w all his forces to the vicinity of Harbin, to which place the Japanese wili hard- ar ly follow him.

He will remain 1)Q :here at least until the evacuation of \"ewchwang can be completed and will probably then order the evacuation of 2aichen. The Russians still have a small force at Newchwang which will emain there as long as possible in or- < ler to prevent a raid by bandits.

Mrs. J. E. Finn. 83 East High street, | SOCIETY WRE( NW^WWWW In Society. A woman in society is obliged to keep late hours. She must attend reoeptiou* and balls. She seldom allows herself a quiet evening at home. Her whole time is taken up in keeping engagements or entertaining in her own home. Her system becomes completely- run down as a consequence. She soon finds herself in a condition known as systemic catarrh. This has also been called catarrhal nervousness. If every society woman could know the value of Peruna at such a time, if they could realise the invigorating, strengthening effect that Peruna would have, how much misery could be avoided. Letter8 from society women all over the United Stated testify to the fact that IV runa is the tonic for a run down, depleted nervous system.
