A dispatch from the Paris corres pondent of the London Times says: \I hear from \a well Informed Rus sian source that the rendezvous of Ad miral Rojestvensky’s coaling fleet Is an island In Ballntang channel, prob ably Babuyan Claro. This island is north of Luzon. A Russian coaling fleet, consisting of 27 colliers and three other vessels, supposed to be carrying ammunition, with sailing orders from Hamburg, re ceived instructions at Singapore that the Island In Ballntang channel would merely be a point of rendezvous where the. coaling fleet might receive further Instructions from Rojestvensky. “As to the particular harbor or Day where Rojestvensky’s fleet will coal, it will In all probability be somewhere on the coast of the Island of Luzon, that is to say. in American waters. “From this Information it would seem that Rojesvensky’s intention is to continue his route to southeast of Formosa instead of through Formosa strait.” Another Death Struggle Most Likely In Manchuria. After a period of Inactivity iince the battle of Mukden, the belligerents Manchuria are about to enter Probably other struggle. The Japanese suc cess at the laBt great engagement was not followed up by the expected pur suit of retreating Russians and the capture of Har&ln. Instead, both ar mies went Into strong positions north of Tie pass and have been recouping and reorganizing for another trial at arms. The Japanese are reported to have taken the aggressive, their principal activity being against the Russian left, but Oyama himself Is with the wing that faces the Russian right, and it Is believed that the main attack will be made here. Troops have also come collision at the center, so it Is almost impossible to determine the Japanese plan of campaign or to predict the point at which the stoutest attempt will be made to pierce the Russian MONTANA NOTE8. Montana’s wool clip for this season will aggregate slightly more than 42,- 000,000 pounds, and of this, amount more than 25,000,000 pounds have been contracted for on the sheeps' backs at prices averaging about 21 cents a pound. It Is estimated that there are 7,000,000 sheep In Montana and the average clip will be about six pounds. Thus Montana sheepmen will realize close to *9,000,000 for wool alone, and as the price for mutton Is above the usual figure, thrf year will be one ot the most prosperous In the history of the state so far as sheep men are concerned.

PA8T WEEK OF THE WAR. line. Both armies have recovered from the exhaustion that followed the Muk den fight, and the contest will no doubt be sharp and severe. Each of the great battles of the war has beon more sanguinary than its predecessor, and there Is every reason to believe that the approaching conflict will out rank the others in magnitude. It Is believed that the Japanese are better prepared than the Russians for another struggle, for they have ex perienced less difficulty In filling up depleted ranks and repairing the dam age sustained in the last engagement. Many soldiers have been sent to Gem eral Linevitch, and he is said to have corrected many errors and abuses of the past, but it has been more cult for him than for Oyama to per fect hls military organization, and In both men and equipment the Japan- se probably enjoy the advantage. Little of note hgs occurred on sea, and no one is prepared to say wheth er the meeting of Rejestvensky and Togo Is a matter of hours, of days, or of weeks.

RACEWAR1NCH1CAG0 SERIOUS TROUBLE THREATENS THE WINDY CITY. 8hooting of Emil Carlson by Negroes the Cause—Police Unable to Pre serve Peace—Riot Occurred 8unday Night—Strike Breaker Killed by Bartender. Chicago, May 22.—Chicago Is threat ened 'with a race war of serious pro portions. Embittered by the shooting ot- Emil Carlson, an 8 year old boy, last week by negro4t, the residents in the vicinity of Twenty-ninth and Dear born streets have armed themselves, and clashes between white and colored have beebme so frequènt since the Carlson morder that It has been found necessary to detail scores of policemen In the district to preserve peace. Even this precaution has been unsuccessful _in keeping the opposing factions apart. a riot that broke out in this dis trict Sunday night between the whites and the blacks James Gray, colored, was killed; Harry Bernsteia was mor tally wounded and a building in which Bernstein Is being hold a captive, suf fering from four bullets, was stoned and partially wrecked by a mob of 1000 persons. The trouble started when James Gray accused Bernstein and a white companion of being trou ble makers. Since the teamsters' strike Gray has been employed by a coal company as a driver. The merits of the strike and the shooting of young Carlson were up for discussion. Angry words soon led to blows, and In the fight that followed Gray drew a knife and attacked the men. Bernstein, who is a bartender, drew a revolver and fired four shots. Two of the bul lets took effect In Gray’s body. He fell unconscious and died .while being removed to a hospital. Bernstein Is 8hot Down. As Bernstein and hls companion wore leaving the scene.two colored men seized the bartender and a scuffle for thè possession of the revolver be gan. Special Policeman Tinsley, colored, came running up: Seeing the colored policeman approaching Bernstein swung the revolver toward him, and. according to Tinsley, discharged the weapon twice. Tinsley.returned the fire, shooting four bullets Into Bern stein's body. Bernstein fell uncon scious and a crowd that had gathered made toward Tinsley and the wound ed man. With the assistance of an other negro Tinsley picked Bernstein up and ran into a nearby saloon. Tin sley stood in the doorway with drawn revolver. The crowd, which was com posed of negroes, was crying for ven geance for the killing of Gray, and Tinsley, seeing that he, unassisted, would not be able to keep them back, shut and barred the door. The crowd, which had now grown to the proportions of a mob, moved on the building. Finding all the doors locked and being unabte-to-force them open, sticks and other missiles were thrown at the building and every win dow and fixture In the place was shat tered and demolished. While the dis turbance was at Its height three negroes, who had gained entrance Into the saloon, dragged Tinsley Into the basement, and, armed with clubs, stood ready to defend him. In the meantime two patrol wagons and an ambulance filled with pollcomen were hurried to the scene. It was only af ter a desperate fight, in which several of the rioters werè badly bruised by the policemen's clubs, that the mob was.forced back from the saloon, shouting for’ Bernstein. The police told them that Bernstein had been killed, and to make good the remark Bernstein, who was unconscious, was placed on a shutter and brought the door of the saloon. This had a quieting effect on the crowd and they soon dispersed. At the hospital Bern stein was soon revived. 8HAW CHRI8TIAN, HE 8AY8. Cleveland, Ohio, May 23.—Secre tary of the Treasury Leslie M.
