RUSSO-JAPANESE RELATIONS.
St. Petersburg Not Aware of Troops inCorea—The Fisheries Agreement.
St. Petersburg, -May fi.—The Foreign Offlce to-dayEsked the Wsr Office what grounds. if any, existedfor the reported Japanese protests BRaln.^t th<»fa3ure t^i withdraw Russian troops from Corea.The officials Bay they have no knowledge of Rus-Staa iops 'n Corea .md supposed that practicallyall controverples would be settled by the Jieso-tja.tions now approaching completion, one of thefew Mtstsadinc points being- the navlffatlon of tbeEungari River, which Russia Ktill Insists shouldTerrain a prerogative of Russia nnd China.
princlpaj feature of the fisheries agreementgStsneSß JtMSSIs and Japan, the preliminary protocolof BTHdi wa« signed at fit. Petersburg on May 4.Eakes a rnmpromise on the question of fishingrights in xY.tr rivers and Inlets of the Siberian coast,
vhich Japan \u25a0^airitainfd were guaranteed to her bythe implied agreement preliminary to the discus-sions at Portsmouth. The Russians contended thatthe treaty rr-ff-rredonly to the open s>a fishing. The<*nvention (Jliidea the rivi-rs and Inlets into twocat«gori<-5, one where fifihing is allowed ar.d theOthfT wl'.ere fiFhingis reserved to Hussla.It Is «-xp'-.ct»-d h< re that the signature of th<» vari-
C'JB cOrmT.Tions willbe marked by the elevation ofth<? lepati'ir.s it Tokio and fit. Petersburg to therank afei -
es The r-arlier Japanese overturesca this subject failed, but the bitterness of defeatlies abated in Russia, and if Japan promotes Dr.Uotono, Russia probably will follow suit.

Trustees Also Announce Faculty Changes inInstitution.
At a meeting of the trustees of Columbia T'nJ-versity yesterday gift* were announced of $1,200
from the Oermanlstlo Society to maintain a lecture-ship on the history of German civilization; of $1,000from Charles B. Bartow. '74. toward the* cost of amathematical laboratory and museum, and of $600from an anonymous benefactor for research workIn anthropology.
At Barnard College It was saifl yesterday thatthe trustees had been expecting for a long time toreceive a part of the estate of Miss Emily OGlbbes. The trustees hay» heard that the will maybe contested, but do not anticipate any great diffi-culty in getting possession of that part of theestate given to Barnara under the terms of thewill.It Is expected that the money will be used foran endowment fund for the necessary expenses of
the college. An endowment has recently providedfor the dormitories that were needed, and, althoughthere Is still great need fr>r a students' building,the money will probably not be used for this pur-pose. The trustees believe that It is much easierto get money for new buildings than to get en-dowments to meet ourrent needs.
Mtes Glbbes had long b<-en regarded aa a friendof Barnard. She had been constantly followingthe doings and development of the institution, andconsequently the trustees were not at all surprisedto learn of the gift. They believed "*t first thatthey might receive more "than $1,000,000. but theynow expect to receive not much nv>re than 1750.000.

f ByTelegraph to The Tribune. 1Newport. B.1., May 6.—Barnard College willre-
ceive the greater part of Miss Emily O. Glbbes'sestate, according to her will, which was filed forprobate here to-day. The document is brief and,
aside from her niece. Miss Edwlna Post, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin A. Post, of New York, norelatives are mentioned. Miss Oibbes bequeathsall of her estate to Barnard, conditionally,with the exception of a Quarter of what was lefther by her father, Robert Morgan Gibbes. Thisportion, according to Mr. Glbbes's will,must at thetime of his daughter's death be left to some bloodrelation, and Miss Gibbes therefore selected her
>niece, Miss Post, to be the recipient of this bequest,all other relatives being Ignored.
The value of the estate Is not mentioned in thewill. It is believed here that It will amount to be-
tween J1.000.000 and J2.000.000. ItIs said In Newport
that Mrs. Post. Miss Glbbes's only sister, intendsto contest that portion of the will that refers toBarnard College, though nothing definite can belearned as yet.
A short time before her death Miss Gtbbes, whowas considered eccentrlo, discbarged all h-»r ser-vants and looked herself in her home, in the cot-tage colony, refusing all persons admission to thehouse and steadfastly refusing to partake of food.When an entrance to the house was effected MissGlbbes was found ia a weakened' condition. Shedied soon afterward.

George Edwardes'sNew Play in. Danger.
Loadon, May 6.—The general ridicule with whichthe prohibition of the presentation of "Tlie Mikado"has been- received here has caused a reconsidera-tion "n the part of the I^ord Chamberlain, und it Isnow announced tliat if certain modifications aremade in the text the restriction will be removed.A i«-tition Is being prepared for presentation toPrince Fushlmi, asking him to Intercede for thoremoysl 8f t!i« ban, and the prince Is reported to
have remarked that he would like to soe the operu
himself, us )\>- had always understood that it wusdelightful nnd harmless.
George Kdwardes's new play, -"The (Jlrls of <}t'>t-tenl>crg," which Is to be produced on Mny 9. isthreatened with prohibition by th» I^rd Cbamber-lnin. who thinks that some of the l!np«i are likelyto be distasteful to the German Emperor.

Oscar Hammerstein, Who Will Sail To-day,1 Enthusiastic About Memorial.
opcar Hammerstein willRail to-day on the KaiserWllhelm der Orossei for Europe. Ha has decided togive an opera next fall for the benefit of the Rob-ert Fulton Monument Association Fund.
"I would not consider myself a patriotic citizenof the T'nited States," he said, "ifIdid not accept
the opportunity of helping in honoring the memory
of Ilobert Fulton, who, to my mind, has not only
done a great deal for the United States hy theapplication of steam to navigation, but also for the
whole world."The sailing of the Ciermont a century ago did a
great denl toward the building up of the City ofNew York at that time and since, and Iam glad
that the movement to erect a monument for Pultonon the banks of the Hudson River Is meeting withso much enthusiasm not only in this stato, but In
ivnnsylvanla, Ui«btute of Fulton's birth."I cannot think of anything more appropriate
than the erection of a water K»tn on the banks ofthe Hudson. It will be most useful for the nation,city and stato, not only to view our own fleets, butalso to salute and welcome foreign visitors by sea.On my return it Is my Intention to arrange an en-tertainment at tlie Manhattan Opera House on amagnificent scale. Several of my principal stars
will appear, and Ihope to swell tha funds of theassociation by at least I2B.000."
Mr. Hammerstein expects to return to this coun-try in a month or six weeks, and it is expectedthat the performance will be given some tlm" InNovember or December.

its author Is Bayard Velllsr. The chief character
In it Is assumed by Miss Margaret Wycherly. Thepurpose seems to have b«*n. whtlo depicting wantand woe,— celebrate the rr.lserabl-j experience of

New Amsterdam Theatre.Mr. Mantell's Impersonation of Richelieu, which
was repeated last night at the New AmsterdamTheatre, is not new to the local public,but itgivespleasure and It Is entirely welcome. Tbe play of"Richelieu" has sometimes, of late, been men-tioned with disparagement. Henry Arthur Jones,that excellent English dramatist, once expressedhis pleasure on seeing a frisky Frenchman, namedFilon, occupied in "stripping the spangles fromBulwer Lytton," by whom "Richelieu" was written,us also were "Money" and "The Lady of Lyons."All the same. "Richelieu" holds Its place, and willcontinue to hold It, among- the best plays in ourlanguage. ItIs not Indeed a trentls* on disease, Itdoes not insult publlodecency by obtruding a sexual"problem." Jt portrays a noble character, existentamid romantic and picturesque surroundings; Itshows virtuous power protecting innocent weakness;It contains exceedingly effective situations; au-1 Itexerts an Influence that is potential to make theauditor happier, for having 6een It. Edwin Booth'sperformance of Richelieu was one of the greatestachievements of dramatic art in modern times. Mr.Mantell seems not to value his own assumption ofthe part, and it is not announced for repetition.With various actors, though not with nil,who haveappeared as tho Cardinal, stnee Macready intro-duced tbe character upon the English stagn andForrest introduced It here, the stage custom hasbeen to play it for theatrical points— such as"there's no such word ns fall," "bloodhounds,' Ilaugh at ye," and the tremendous Invocation of "thacuree of Rome." Mr.Mantell places much emphasisupon the salient incidents and speeches, not heed-ing the Intervals of solemn majesty and deeppathos for which the play is remarkable. Thebleak, mournful Isolation that is inevitably attend-ant upon intellectual supremacy and the advnnceof age seems not to have engaged tho actor'sthought. His performance of Richelieu, neverthe-less. is interesting nnd effective. "KingLear" willbe repeated to-night and to-morrow night. TheWednesday matinee will be. devoted to "Macbeth."On Friday night and Saturday afternoon Mr. Man-tell will play Shylock, and on Saturday night hewill close his engagement, appearing as lago.
