RUSSIA DEMANDS MANCHURIA.
. RefuBcs to Evacuate Province Unless
Given Virtual Sovereignty by China.
Poking , April 24. Russia has do-
mamlcd that China sign au agreement
practically ceding to her the sovereignty
eignty of Manchuria and excluding
other nations from that country. The
Russian charge d'affaires , M. Plancon ,
-Las informed Prince Chlng , president
of the foreign office , that no further
. steps iu the evacuation of Manchuria
will bo taken until this agreement la
signed. Ching refused the Russian
terms , but his refusal probably
pleases Russia as well as his accept
ance would have done , because either
alternative means the rellnqulshment
- of Chinese sovereignty in Manchuria.
The Russian demands arc as fol
lows : No moro Manchurian ports or
towns are to be opened ; no moro for
eign consuls are to be admitted Into
Manchuria * no foreigners , except Rus-
elans , arc to be employed in Uio public
service of Manchuria ; the present
status of the administration of Man
churia Is to remain unchanged ; no
territory In Manchuria is to be alien
ated to any other power.
While the foregoing demands were
before the Chinese for consideration
M. Plancon assured his colleagues ex
plicitly that the only reason for the
delay In restoring the government of
Now Chwang to the Chinese was the
organization of the sanitary commis
sion. There has been considerable
feeling in British circles over the ap
pointment of a Russian commissioner
in Now Chwanc. but this revelation of
Russia's determination to retain con
trol of Manchuria and close the door
there robs it of all its importance.

Postmaster General Takes Sum
mary Action With Attorney.
WIFE RAIDS DEPARTMENT SAFE.
Mrs. Tyner Abstracts Papers and In-
opectoro Fall to Recover Docu-
mento Lawyer Accused of Aiding
Turf Flrmo.
'
Washington , April 24. A most Hen-
Batlonal development in the Investiga
tion of postotllco affulra occurred JUHI
before the department closed , when
Postmaster General 1'ayno announced
the summary dismissal of Jamoa IN.
Tynor , assistant attorney general for
the postotllco department , coupling
the announcement with the startling
charge that all the papers and rocoijilw
in the nafo of the lattor'H otllco had
been abstracted by Mrs. Tyner , wife
of the discharged official , with the as
sistance of others. The postmaster
general states that Mrs. Tyner has re
fused the demr d of the government
for the papers tuuon , and said that the
circumstances In the case would bo
submitted by him to the dopartni6nt
of justice today. Other sensational
developments are expected. The
question of arrests will bo passed on
immediately by Attorney General
Knox. The facts are told tersely in
the following letter of dismissal ,
signed by Postmaster General Payne :
"Hon. James N. Tyner : Sir You are
beroby removed from the ofilco of as
sistant attorney general for the post-
office department. I deem It proper to
give you the reasons for this summary
action on the part of the department.
Early in the month of March I com
municated to you through a mutual
friend a request for your resignation.
After a painful interview with you
and a moro painful ono with Mrs.
Tynor , I consented to modify the de
mand for your resignation so that it
might take effect May 1 , 1903 , with
the proviso , however , that you were
given leave of absence from the time
of the acceptance of the resignation
to the date of Its taking effect , with
the understanding that you wore not
in any way to undertake to discharge
the duties of the office. Late Wednes
day afternoon Mrs. Tyner came to the
office of the assistant attorney general
for the postofllco department , and
wont through the main office to the
private office , closing the door behind
her. She then unlocked the door en
tering from the public hall into the
private room and admitted her sister ,
Mrs. Barrett , whose son was formerly
assistant in your office , and whoso con
duct Is now under investigation by the
department. She also admitted , In
the same manner , G. G. Hamner , an
expert In the employ of the Mosler
Safe company , with whom she had
tnado an arrangement to meet her at
the department. At her direction Mr.
Hamner opened the safe in the room
and she took therefrom all papers ,
records and articles of every kind and
carried them away with her. Immedi
ately upon learning what had been
done I directed the fourth assistant
postmaster general to send two inspectors
specters to your house to demand , In
the name of the postoffico department ,
the delivery to them of any papers ,
documents or other materials which
had been abstracted from the safe.
This demand was refused by Mrs.
Tynor , and she likewise refused to
. permit the Inspectors to see you or to
see and examine the papers in her
presence. Mrs. Tyner further stated
. to the postofflce Inspectors that she
' committed this act with your knowl-
edge and by your direction. Further
comment on this transaction , on my
part , Is not necessary. The facts In
the case will bo submitted to the at
torney general of the United States
for such action in the premises as
ho may deem proper. "
It is suspected at the department
that the papers have some connection
with the recent conduct of the office.
Some weeks ago a turf Investment
concern , whose affairs were aired In
court , alleged that its operations and
working methods had been sanctioned
by the assistant attorney general for
the postoffico department. The
charges Involving the office of the as
sistant attorney general and a lawyer
formerly connected with that office ,
were ventilated very generally at that
time and an Investigation was ordered
by the postmaster general. This was
really the inception of the investiga
tion that has spread into every part
of the department.
Mr. Tyner had been In exceedingly
bad health for a long time and had
visited the office at only rare Intervals 3i i
leaving the office entirely In charge of
his assistant for months at a time. fo fo
is suffering from an unusually severe
case of paralysis and in consideration
of this fact the request for his resig
nation was based on his ill health.
