St. Petersburg, March 22.?1:50 p.m. ?The Russ In an editorial to<fhy on Russia's new protest against the violation of The Hague convention in bombarding the Quarantine hospitals on the San Chan Tao islands (opposite Port Dalny), declares Japan cannot meet the charge by pleading ignorance of the character of the build mgs on tne lsianas as me wmuarument of unfortified towns and buildings Is forbidden by the same convention, and adds that Japan's act was a flouting of all the powers signatory thereto. "Who knows," continued The Russ, "what excesses Japan may go to In violation of the international laws. The obligation assumed by hen, the feeling of solidarity among the nations and the defense of the fundamental principles of humanity must compel the world, If not Uxlay, then tomorrow, to say to Japan: a " 'Thus far and no further.' " The editorial colludes with expressing the hope that Russia's protest will make an impression on the other powers. Toklo, March 22.?The Japanese government denies the Paris report that France, acting In behalf of Russia, has protested to the Japanese government on account of the bombardment of the quarantine station cn tho San Chan Tan islands on Mar.?h 10.

Petersburg, March 22.?1:50 p.m. ?The United States ambassador, McCormick, has been instructed by the state department at the request of M. Takahira* the Japanese minister at Washington, to ask the Russian government what facilities will be afforded to the 40,000 Japanese in Siberia to return to Japan. According to information received here comparatively few Japanese are now in St' beria. Most of them loft there just prior to or after the breaking out oi the war.

COMBINE8 SOCIALISTIC. t' ^ Organizations of Capital and Labor 8tlfle Individuality. New York, March 22.?In an address before the students of the college of the city of New York, W. H. True?dale, president of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad company, has described great combinations of labor and of capital ae socialistic declaring that their tendenoy is to shackle, if not destroyj American Individuality to which tbo country owes so much. But he deemed himself fortunate, he said, to have lived in a period during which gigantic strides had been made in traffic problems. After describing the development of the great industries of the United States, greatest of which bo declared, is the railroad business, Mr. Truesdel expressed the opinion that the gain from year to year is due to the spirit of American freedom. He does not expect the same proportionate mileage to be constructed nereaiter as the cost of terminals will interfere, but tho improvements will continue as rapidly as ever. He said the great combinations ol capital are impossible elsewhere, and it is a question if they do not stifle Individuality. Labor organizations may be beneficial in a way; they have done good in some cases and tuey have done injury in others. When they stifle ambition, however., they do harm. Both sorts of combination, he concluded, are socialistic in their tendency. CASE PUSHED BY GAMBLERS. Man Who Run Horse Under Assumec Name Is Prosecuted.

The telegraph wires are being deluged with messages urging the absentees to return immediately to the capital. Adjournment sine die is to take place at 1 o'clock today, and unless a quorum is secured, before that hour all pending legislation is doomed. Attornevs fdr two railroad eornor* ations are here in force, and special trains may be ordered for members, commanded by the sergeant-at-arms, to return to the capital who cannot reach here on regnlar trains.
