THE FAR EAST.
PRINCE ALEXIEFF'S WINTER RESIDENCE. CHINESE TROOPS NEAR MUKDEN. United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received November 2nd, 11.30 p.m.) PEKIN, November 2. Prince Aloxieff's decision to whiter at Vladivostoek is attributed at Pekin to a fear that the Japanese may successfully blockade Port Arthur. Twenty thousand Chinese troops are stationed near Mukden. Their commanders are ordered to avoid a collision. The reoccupation is attributed to a Chinese officer's summary decapitation of a noted brigand, who was recently commanding Russian irregular police in Manchuria. Russia demanded the officer's execution, but the Chinese suggested exiling him. Before the negotiations were concluded the Russians seized Mukden.
