The annual pilgrimage to OldSL Philip's church under the direction of the North Carolina Society of Colonial Dame, will take place Tuesday, Hay the 5th. These excursions, inaugurated sev eral years ao by the able President of the Society, Mrs. Kate DeBosset Means, have been fruitful of so much pleasure and historic interest that, to insure a full attendance at this time, only a simple announcement to the public should be necessary. It is hoped that the citizens of Wilmington will attend this celebration In large numberi and thus, by their presence, support the patriotic women who are striYing earnestly, and successfully, to preserve the monuments, and rescue from neglect the records of our Colo nial forefathers. The lovely river trip, the beautiful memorial service, and not the least pleasant feature of the occasion, the social reunion, unconventional and delightful, fill the day with a charm and novelty unique in the year's cal endar. How few knew of or cared for the fine old church, standing in its solitary dignity upon the banks of the Capo Fear, until this Association undertook its preservation and partial restoration J Surely our own town people will give this organization that encouragement which ii so potent a factor in the success of every under taking. V The society extends to all a cordial invitation to participate- in this pil grimage. TRANSFERS OP REAL ESTATE. Parchases Made Known by Deeds Filed for Record Yesterday. James Madden and wife to W.

Acting Assistant Attorney Gen eral Christiancy, Pending an Investigation. THE CASE OF THE TYNERS. Statement of Conssel Papers Sabmltted Claimed to Be All That Were Ab stracted from Safe Rejected by Postmaster General. ay Telegraph to the Morning Btar Washington, April 25. The im portant developments to-day in the in vestigation of the sensational abstrac tion of papers from the safe of the office of the assistant attorney general for the Postoffice Department, which led to the dismissal of that official were the submission of what purported to be the papers to the inspection of the postal officials and the decision of Postmaster General Payne to imme diately relieve Acting Assistant At torney General G. A. O. Chris tiancy from his office, pending an investiga tion of his conduct The action in the case of Mr. Christian c 7 was taken at hia own request He states that he courts the fullest investigation. Mr.. Chriatiancy has held the office of assis tant attorney since January 1, 1901, and has been in charge of the legal affairs of the department most of the time since then, owing to General Tvner'i absence, caused by 111 health. General Tyner's counsel to-day sub mitted to Postmaster General Payne and Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Brlstow papers which they said the Tyners claimed constituted all that had been taken away, but a statement made later by the Postmaster General, directing the correspondence on the subject and the submission of the pa pera specifically, declines to accept the statement that the papers submitted necessarily constituted all that were abstracted. General Tyner's counsel, after leav ing the Postmaster General, made a statement In part as follows: "Yesterday, in response to a notifi cation from the Department of Jus- tier, that General Tyner's offer to de liver the papers should be made to the Postmaster Genera), Mr. Perry pro posed to the Postmaster General that a representative of the Post Office De partment should meet counsel at Gen eral ITyner's house, where the papers should be examined and such as were private returned to General Tyner, and. the others, somewhat public In their nature, delivered to the depart' ment - "It waa especially desired that the government representatives should question fully Generol - Tyner, Mrs. Tyner and Mrs. Barrett as to what occurred on Mrs. Tyner's visit to the Postoffice Department on Tues day last and as to all of her acts in connection therewith, and her au thority therefor, General Tyner ex plaining that all of Mrs. Tyner's acts were authorized by him. The Post master General in reply said substan tially that if General Tyner would cause the papers to be returned to the department he would have the same examined in the presence of General Tyner and would restore to him all the papers, documents and other property found to belong to him. This morning, after consultation, the Postmaster Gen eral was asked to permit Mrs. Tyner and Mrs. Barrett to come to his office with counsel for a full examination by any government official as to the faets connected with the taking of the papers. The Postmaster General refused to permit either Mrs. Barrett or Mrs. Tyner to be present and declined to questioned them. Thereupon, acqui escing in his decision, counsel brought to the Postoffice Department all of the papers In question. They were ex amined minutely and In detail In the presence of the Postmaster General by Mr. Brlstow. including the most private property of General Tyner and especially of Mrs. Tyner. On the con clusion of this examination all the pa pers were, by the direction of the Post master General returned to General Tyner except the papers indicated In a statement of General Tyner which re ferred to the matter connected with the conduct of a formar inspector of the department Jnow dead, and which had never been filed and which mat ter waa disposed of oyer four years ago." Subsequently, the Postmaster Gen eral gave out a statement covering the submission of the documents which plainly aays that the department does not agree to the assumption that the papers iubmltted constitute all those taken. After reciting the propo sition of General Tyner's counsel, and Its rejection by him, (setting forth the text of the letter in reply) the state ment concludes as follows: "This morning Mr. Perrv and Gen- era! Mlchener came to the depart ment, bringing with them a package which they stated contained the papers and documents which had been takes from the department in the manner heretofore set forth, and offered to sub mit the same to the inspection of the Postmaster General or any other of ficial of the department "In response to this offer, Mr. Per ry opened the packages in the pres ence of the Postmaster General, Gen eral Brlstow and Mr. Mlchener. Care ful scrutiny of each paper and docu ment waa had, and all the papera so exhibited were found to be personal and personal property of Genera Ty ner and Mrs. Tyner, excepting one package of papera which contained letters, statements, memoranda and other evidence relating to depart mental matters that had been con cluded about four years ago. "The Department does not accept uu action lasen mis morning, aa evi dence that all the papers, letters and other properties so carried away have been returned." " Postmaster General Payne to-night said that he had not yet replied to the request of Mr. Christiancy, but that he would undoubtedly relieve him pending an investigation. JEWS IN RUSSIA.

QUESTION AS TO RUSSIA'S DEMANDS Formal Protest Will Be Made by Great Britain, the United -States and Japan. AGAINST ACTION BY CHINA, That Will Alienate Chinese Territory. Bnt It Bering to' Appear That Man churia Is Hopelessly -Lost to , China German Position. By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. Washington, April 25. The Jap anese Minister, Mr. Takahlrs, and Ba ron Von Bternburg, the German min ister, called upon Secretary Hay to day, and it is believed that the Man churian question was discussed. Sec retary Hay has no advlcea from St Petersburg or London, but it is ex pected that he will shortly hear from the latter capital through the ambas dor here. These conferences and ex changes are all preliminary to the pre paration of a protest which la to be made against the Russian demands, but it is not yet clear what form this will take. The protest, however, must be directed not to Russia but to China, who will be warned that the nations which sign the protest will not look with favor upon any action by China that will alienate Chinese territory or will confer special advantages upon one nation (meaning Russia) over others. " The tone of the press advices from European capitals, printed this morn ing, has done much to depress offi cials here who have labored so long to preserve the integrity of China. It begins to appear to them that Manchu ria is hopelessly lost to China, and the best that can be done now is to aave aa much aa possible from the wreck, and, therefore, the effort will proba bly be made to procure from Russia a binding promise that the powers will not be entirely deprived of the right to exploit Manchuria commercially. It may be possible to secure the open ing of one or two portr, such aa waa proposed in the pending treaty between China- and the United Stater, which will probably have) to be amended in view of the last developments. Having heard from the President, Secretary Hay Is now in position to act respecting the Manchurian matter. Indeed; he has already taken the first steps, although for obvious reasons it Is not deemed well to indicate their nature. But the broad statement is made that the Department of State is doing what it regards as necessary to meet the issue. . There Is no apprehen sion among the representatives of the Powers that the Manchurian affair will lead to anything beyond diplo matic exchanges. In the absence of anything official from his srovernment, the Russian ambaaaador.in a note to Secretary Hay, announced that nothing inimical in the United States was projected to Russia's course. The call of Baron.von Bternburg at the State Department to-day furnish ed him an opportunity to discuss Bus la's action at some length with Mr. Hay. From Germany no official ad vices had: been received either at the 8tate Department or at the embassy regarding the attitude of the Berlin government, but the understanding is general in the diplomatic corps that Russia has nothing to apprehend from Germany in the stand she has taken in Manchuria. Russia and Germany, it Is admitted, have a thorongh under standing relative to China and while It may not be necessary for the Berlin government to come openly to the support of the Russian demands at this time, the other Powers will be permit ted to see clearly that Germany is not hostile to Russia's plans. If asked by the Powers to join in a note of protest against Russia's conduct, Germany's reply will nrobablv be that her interests demand that ahe remain neutral. Russia's Explanation. St. Petersburg, April 25. The officials of the Foreign Office here ex pressed to the correspondent of the Associated Press intense surprise over the report that American public opinion is disturbed by the news re garding Manchuria. They declared the people of the United States were being misled by the Japanese, and said the improvements which were in Er ogress in Manchuria certainly would e a benefit to international commerce. The Foreign Office officials added that no fundamental conditions were being imposed, declaring that what are now In progress are pour parlers concerning the act of evacuation itself and the organization of the Chinese administration to assure order. The Chinese administration, however, Is not reaay. xtussia desires an assur ance that China will maintain a suffi cient police force to repress local dis orders, which are continuous through out Manchuria, especially In the mountains. The detachments of Rus sian troops remaining in the country have no object but the maintenance of order locally until China is able to guarantee that order will be main tained. The Foreign Office adds that the number of railroad guards ulti mately will.not exceed 20,000 unless under exceptional circumatances. BUSINESS LOCALS. mr moaxm rot Bent or Bala, Lost or round.
