PREPARE FOR WAR China Sends Unsatisfactory Answer to Russia in Reply to Ultimatum. TROUBLE EXPECTED Heavy Earthquake Reported —Boilermakers on New York Central Strike. (United Press Service.)

In the main China contends that the treaty of 1881 has not been violated by her either in .letter or spirit. She points out several alleged violations on Russia's part and the failure of that country to fndemnify China ror the property destroyed in the Russian-Japanese war is cited.

JUST IN TIME Was the Presence of Gas in the Home of Mat Breiner Discovered. FAMILY VERY ILL But Father Had Enough Strength to Call Aid and Save Family. Early one morning last week the family of Mat Breiner narrowly escaped suffiocatlon by gas, a leak having occurred in some manner and the gas collecting in the house awakened Mr. Breiner just In time to throw open the house and wive the family. He at once ran for a doctor and upon his return found the members of the family suffering terribly and hastily aid was administered. About this time the doctor and other aid arrived and heroicly worked with the family until relieved. The children are recovering and will he able to be about shortly. Mr. Breiner is certainly thankful for a strong constitution, which enabled him to withstand the deadly effects longer than the others so that he was able to aid his family, who were under the influence of the gas completely. It was a very close call, as doubtless another hour in the fumes would have rendered the entire family unconscious, causing the death of all.
