The correspondent of the Associated Press learns from a reliable fuurc' that the (liTman Foreign Office regards It as probable that Signor Zanareklli. the Italian premier, will ask for certain modifications of the Driebur.d conditions which sYem to hinder the bettering of the relations between Italy ami Franco, though in themselves those paragraphs are nowise Francophobe. The Foreign Office of Italy believes that mutually ngre cable arrangements may be effected. Hignor Zanardelli and Count Von Uuelow will soon make public declarations .on the subject of the Driebund, which expires May ',, ir;hl months after the commercial treaty. Notice of the termination of the Dreibund must be given twelve months ahead or else it prolongs itself. x The entire Cermaa press is still greatly excited over the Kmperor's recent utterances on the? occasion of his toasts, and tiie reviews in to-day's weekly press conlirm this condition. The Cologne Volks Stitung says Fmperor William's word to the Emperor Alexander's Grenadier Regiment on the occasion of their installation In their r.ev barracks near the Kmperor's j.alace, when lie callcl them his life guard?, etc., have been received everywhere with liismay ami amazerm nt, but sadder still is the fact that the Emperor had the reijnents's barracks built in close proximity to the castle, which shows that the Emperor meant what he said on that occasion. Th j l-.iper then directs the Emperor's toast concerning Russian-German relations, and fays it is evident that somebody has been fc-ystcmaticaily trying to control these hitherto friendly relations and that trom tho Emperor's hints this can only be Great Britain or Japan. The paper concludes: 'Where, then, are our new Kngli-h friends".'" The fact of the matter is, that the Emperor's utterances have been interpreted in all ways to suit everybody's taste. Emperor "William yesterday made an address to several companies of the First Guard Regiment, at 1'otsdam. Concerning its tenor nothing is known, as all civilians were rigidly excluded from the scene. XXX The Ruger-Von Adams murder case, of Moerchlugen, lias been engaging the Urnprior's attention for tne last week. lie has read the papers in the case, and has come to the conclusion that some change fcr the better regarding the practice of dueling is absolutely required, and he deFires the court or honor to have fuller powers. xxx The internal sugar tax for the year ending March 31, 1901, has produced the largest revenue ever collected, namely, 123,000,000 marks. xxx The big Sprudel spring at Nauheim bus suddenly ceas?l to How. Energetic attempts have been made by the authorities to pump, but up to the present time these have been unavailing. The people of Nauheim are angry at the government for lately having undertaken artesian borings In the vicinity of the spring, to which tiny attribute the cessation of its flow. XXX The case of Frederick V. Beyer, of Gera, formerly a largo importer and dealer in American meats, who was ruined by the local authorities rendering his trade imposFlble. is now in the highest land court at Jena, which has decided that the state dot not owe Beyer the damages of "0.000 maiks which he claims. Beyer will carry the case to the. imperial court at Leipzig. xxx The German press comments unfavorably on thrt farewell speech of C. I. Bryan, Vnited States 'minister to Brazil, at Port Algeria, in which Mr. Bryan was quoted as counseling the German residents of Brazil to contribute to the welfare of that country without wounding the national pediments of the Brazilians. A letter in this matter from a prominent German ofllcer at Rio de Janeiro is making the rounds o: the press. This letter says Mr. Bryan's words v. re tactless, and that the American minister interfered in matters which iiid not concern him. and denies that Gerrnanv reeks political independence for the German residents in south Brazil. xxx Commander "W.

The verdict meant his expulsion from the quorum of twelve. Elder Briggs appealed to President . Smith to save him from the humiliation the publication of the report of his trial would caure him President Smith withheld the report of the trial from the official minutes of the church for the last ycir. and announced to the conference to-day as a reason for his action that Elder Rrigg3 has ever been a faithful member of the church: that he is aged and in:irm and does not merit the humiliation of being expelled from the quorum of twolve. Many delegates antagonized the president's position and questioned his authority to overrule the quorum of twelve.

England, too, has the major portion of her force stationed at Peking and TleiiTsin, but the remainder of it is more scattered than that of Germany, small detachments of British troops being stationed at fifteen other points of Pe-Chi-Li province. In most cases these detachments consist of a company or two each of cavalry and infantry. At Peking are twenty-live companies of infantry, three, squadrons of th2 horsemen of the Sixteenth Bengal Lancers, the Twelfth Field Artillery, and a marine contingent of men, with two 12-pounder marine guns, besides telegraph and balloon corps. At Tien-Tsin there are nearly six full regiments of Llritish infantry, marincontingent of two hundred men. and three squadrons ot the Third Bombay Cavalry. At Shan-ilai-Kwan is a strong force, consisting of about twenty companies of infantry and three squadrons of the riders ot the Jodhpur Lancers. France has a formidable force at Pao-Ting-Fu and Cheng-Ting-Fu. consisting of a squadron of the picturesque Chasseurs d'Afrique, two battalions of zouaves, one mountain and two Held batteries, a battalion of a line infantry ami a battalion of marine infantry. At the capital are stationed one battalion of the Seventeenth and two battalions of the Eighteenth Marine Infantry, a detachment of Chasseurs d'Afrique, two mountain batteries and a Held battery. Tien-Tsin holds, six companies of French line infantry, a mountain battery, a held battery, two battalions of the Sixteenth Marine Infeintry Regiment and a company of engineers. At YangTsun are a battalion or" zouaves, a squadron of Chasseurs d'Afrique and two Held batteries. The lines of communication between Peking.

Italy has at Peking a battalion of marines and infantry and a battalion of artillery; a company of marines at Shan-Ilal-Kwang, and a marine detachment and a company of infantry at Tien-Tsin. Japan has her force divided principally between Peking and Tien-Tsin. Two squadrons of Japanese cavalry, two batteries of artillery and the Twenty-lirst Infantry Regiment are at the Chinese capital and at Tien-Tsin are three battalions of the Forty-first Infantry and a troop of cavalry, while other detachments of the "wiry little Jnps" are strung out along the railroad throughout the province.

Austria's representation is composed entirely of marines L'.'O at Peking, 50 at Tien-Tsin and 40 at Shan-Hai-Kwan. T R CAT V WIT 1 1 II It AAV.V. Cznr A'icholn Determined Not to Give J n it tin Exeasc for "War. PARIS, April 6. According to the information that reaches Paris from a source regarded as of unquestionable authenticity, Russia has withdrawn the proposed Manchurian treaty with China. This step is attributed to the personal instigation of Emperor Nicholas, and is' accepted as evidence of his determination .to avoid, at present, any conllict with Japan. Coupled with this news comes" the statement that Russia does not deem it expedient to withdraw any of her troops now in Manchuria, and intends to maintain the status quo there until a Chinese government can be established at Peking, strong and stable enough to inspire Russian confidence for the future. This unexpected withdrawal of the proposed Manchurian convention, until now so aggressively urged on China, is regarded as an exceedingly clever move on the part of Russia, because that treaty, whlcn could only be wrung from China by renewed drastic pressure, would, after all. only secure an empty international sanction of the position which Russia already holds in Manchuria, and the signing of the treaty might render war with Japan inevitable. The conviction prevails in diplomatic circles here thai the international peace ntgotiations with China will be greatly favored by Russia's withdrawal of the convention, which, by postponing the settlement of the Manchurian dilliculty, reduces it to an afi'air of local interest. At the same time the present Russian occupation of Manchuria is regarded here, rightly or wrongly, as a parallel case to the British occupation of Egypt as tie facto possession that will approach permanency as each year elapses. AS YIEWHD IIV HH1TOXS. London Editors Think Itnsia Intends to Keep Mnneliurin. LONDON. April fi.-Russia's attitude toward Manchmia, as outlined by the Official Messenger of St. Petersburg, is interpreted almost unanimously by the Britih press as capable of being condensed (I am here; I remain here), and there Is no disposition to believe the matter is thus ended. The Standard, which throughout has taken a moderate stand, declares that if Russia gees back on net promise now given as to the integrity of China and proceeds to assume in Manchuria the authority denied her by formal stipulations she will have to confront not only the powers, but the armed might of the energetic nation, which under the rule of the Mikado, is conscious of Its strength to aid the greatness of its destinies. Japan, the paper adds, will have the sympathy and support of nearly all the powers lntcrestsd in the far East. The Dally Chronicle makes similar comments Interpreting Russia's policy and says that of the powers which really count Japan Is the only one which Is at all likely to back her protest with force. The Daily News maintains that Russia's policy is a" clear as diy'.lght, and simp!y means no shred of independence for Mancuria. The paper continues: "Russia ha3 a firm fr'.end and ally in the United States. The American governnunt lost no time in publishing the plausible pacific assurance reeetevd by Secretary Hay from Count Cassini (Russian ambassador at Washington.! But the United States has long been anxious to get out of the Chinese imbroglio altogether." Doieri WnltlnK Their Chance. BERLIN. April 6. The Frankfurter Zeitung publishes another letter from Peking, containing a verbatim account of the Interview between Dr. Mumm Von Schwarzenstein, German minister to China, and a Chinese prince. The most interesting point In the Interveiw Is the prince's open admlfsion that if the allied troops are now withdrawn the Boxers would immediately appear la strong force.. The

prince added: "This. Li Hung Chang and Prince Ching likewise know." The correspondent gives a vivid account of the keen competition between the Imperial princes to be chosen to go to Iierlln in order to express the Chinese Emperor's penitence for the murder of Baron Von Ketteler.

Cable Secretly Lnld by the French. HONG-KONG. April C The foreign residents of Amoy are puzzled by the odd procedure of the French cableship DIolabah, which last Monday laid a cable from Amoy out to sea without consulting the local authorities, who did not interfere with the progress of the work, supposing the Diolabah to be a transport. It was reported that a second cableship was waiting outside for the purpose of connecting with the cable laid by the Diolabah. The object of laying these cables is unknown. To-day the Diolabah returned off Amony and cut the cable she had laid, taking the end aboard. Prince Tnan' Pnnl.ilimeiit. BERLIN, April C The correspondent of the Associated Press learns on the highest authority that Prince Tuan's fate has finally been decided. His death will be commuted to banishment to Turkistan. The list of guilty Chinese provincial authorities includes only four to be beheaded and several degradations. The Chinese commissioners are surprised that the guilty officials should escape with such light punishments. The informant of the correspondent of the Associated Press added "and well they may be." Ptuiiahmciit of Ofllclnln. BERLIN, April 6. A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette from Peking, dated Thursday, April 4, says the Chinese plenipotentiaries have agreed on the punishments of the guilty provincial officials to be demanded by the foreign ministers on account of the murder of 24 persons, missionaries and their wives and children. Twenty Robbers Killed. BERLIN, April 6. Count Von Waldersee reports to the War Office that after dispersing the robber bands to the northeast of Tien-Tsin th3 troops engaged in that work have returned to their quarters. In the course of the operations twenty robbers were killed and one gun and nine wagons with arms and ammunition were captured. Van Yu Incapacitated. ST. PETERSBURG. April 6. The apoplectic seizure of Yang Yu, Chinese minister to Russia, after his recent interview with Count I-amsdorff, the Russian foreign minister, will probably necessitate his withdrawal from the post. Negotiations with China at St. Petersburg have ceased since his illness. .Inpnnese Military Activity. YOKOHAMA. April C The Japanese government is maintaining great secrecy regarding its policy, but it is said on good authority that the Cabinet at a meeting hold on Friday resolved to communicate with Russia in firm terms respecting Manchuria.

The Shanghai correspondent of the Sunday Special says It has transpired that Russia recently proposed to japan the neutralization of Korea. but that Japan refused the proposition ns insufficiently made regarding her interests.

It is probable the principal address of the day will be delivered by President McKinley, who has taken great interest in the rebuilding of the monument. Suit was filed at Springfield, O., yesterday, by Attorney A. L. Mendenhall and President Samuel D. Kirkpatrick, of Madison, Wis., of the Mercer heirs association, for George W.

If further information is desired by the engineers and firemen to enable them to reach an intelligent conclusion, the comoany's officers have been and are ready at -ny time to aid them in their efforts to do so. Does it not seem to you only right and fair to expect our engineers and firemen shall advise the officers of the final decision on these propositions?" . LABOR AND INDUSTRY. Owing to a dispute regarding the rate of pay one thousand miners have gone on strike in the Dewesbury colliery district, County of York, England. Four hundred coal miners, who have been on strike at Biossburg, W. Va., on account of a difference regarding the charges for yardage work, have returned to work.

Agent Thomas, of the Tremont and Suffolk Mills Company, at Lowell. Mass., has received orders to stop three-quarters of the machinery until further notice. In consequence of this order about 1.00 persons will be thrown out of work. The prolonged depressed condition of the trade is the reason given by the management of the mills for this step.

Sales of non-Bessemer ores are being made in Cleveland at $2 a ton, which is a cut of a dollar a ton. compared with last year. No large deals have been closed, but many small orders have been placed, and the amount of business closed up to date Is pretty close to l.OoO.oOO tons.

SEATTLE, Wash., April 6.-The torpedo boat destroyer Goldsborough made two successful trips of an official series to-day In Seattle harbor. She attained a speed of twenty-eight and one-half knots, using Franklin coal (domestic.) Her builders claim that with Welsh or Australian coal she will easily make thirty knots on her final trip. This speed she must make before she can be accepted. The vessel's machinery worked smoothly, and not the slightest thing marred the day. It Is said that if all goes well she will be given her final trip and accepted by the trial board next week. The naval officers are much pleased with the results given by the use of domestic coal, which is said to surpass that of British Columbia, once used exclusively by the government on this coast.

After standing for over three hundreds years it is i.ow to make way for modern buildings which will soon replace ail the old haunts so dear to Dickens. What is described as a mystic farce by Russell Vaughan was produced by Willie Edouin at the Avenue Theater, London, last night, with Mrs. James Brown Potter a3 the star. Mrs. Potter's role is that of an Egyptian priestess, brought to life in the twentieth century, and causing a domestic upheaval in a commonplace household. The play is without a redeeming feature, say the critics, and is not likely to score a decided success. Mrs. Brown-Potter herself was well received by a friendly house. DAILY CRIMINAL RECORD. Taylor Kirk, who killed his sister near Cordell. O. T., was yesterday sentenced to ninety-nine years in the Oklahoma penitentiary. The body of A. Bohn, who disappeared from his boarding house In Sedalia. Mo., a week ago, was found at the side of a haystack near Leads Station last night. A bullet hole in the head and a revolver at his side indicated suicide. Bohn went to Sedalia from East St. Louis, 111. John S.

James Callahan, the alleged Cudahy kidnaper, was arraigned before Judge Baker, at Omaha, yesterday. He pleaded not guilty and was held for trial on April 23 qjn the charge of robbery. Callahan's tattorneys notified the court that a deposition hy Henderson, the Dallas, Tex., man, who confessed to having committed the crime would be taken. The two men under arrest, and who are supposed to be. members of the gang of robbers that wrecked the bank at Chardon. O.. had a preliminary hearing yesterday and were bound over to the grand jury under $10.000 bail each.

Adams, a wealthy miner of Denver, president of the Gregg Mining Investment Company. The young woman was taken from the hotel by detectives, who were accompanied by Mr. Adams. THE AITO CRAZE. LennGiia Learned from the Late Bicycle Doom. Edward Emerson, jr., in Alnslee's. The bet idea of the advance of automobile construction inj America to-day in gained not so much from the fact that i couple of years ago there were barely one hundred automobiles in the United States, while now there are thousands, but rather from the steady progress of new automol lle inventions and serviceable devices. J "The whole country seema to have gone automobile mad." declared an official of the United States Patent Office the other day. while conversing with the writer. "We have more patents filed for automobile devices to-day than for any other branch of invention, and still they come pouring in." i The same might be said or the formation of new companies for automobile construction. Scarcely a day pisses that the newspapers do not record the incorporation of a new automobile company. Darely one year ago there were but ten recognize! manufacturers of automobiles In America, while now there are more than three hundred All the energy that went Into the great bicycle boom of the last decade would appear to have diverted itself into thLi new channel. Nor have the lessons of thj bicycle boom been last. Little fear as ther reed be at present of an overproduction of automobiles, it is clearly recognized that quick production must be one of the essentials of success. . Those makers wpo

The Attractive Woman Knows How to Dress! The Attractive Woman, you will have observed, knows how to dress. She buys her gowns of a tailor who knows his business. She does not truit her reputation as a woman of good taste to a cheap and inexperienced tailor. Do not spend money for a tailor-made ßown unless you get a TAILOR to make it. After you once wear a perfectly made gown you will abhor ready-made garments and garments turned out by second-rate tailoring establishments. A large per cent, of the best-dressed ladies in this city are patron of mine.

launched their automobiles first now have the strongest grip on the market. A case In point is one New York firm that succeeded in turning out some two thousand steam-propelled vehicles before its machines were really perfected. What these early machines lacked was rapidly supplemented by the suggestions and criticisms of the purchasers themselves, so that by the time other makers began to put forth their new products this company was able to exchange its defective machines for newautomobiles of an improved pattern which could be trusted to climb steep mountain ranges or to win races abroad. For another year perhaps two or three years the manufacturers will be able to keep their prices at the present top notch, ranging from SO to $10,m0. The automobile is still the newest thing, and as such appeals to moneyed people who can afford to gratify their desire for novelty. Princes and potentates are among the most prominent automobilists abroad, while in thi. country the best-known advocates of the new sport are such multimillionaires as William K. Vandcrbilt, George Gould, Clarence H. Mackay and John Jacob Astor. After the automobile has ceased to be a mere diversion for the wealthy it will behoove manufacturers to consider the geneial public. Then prices mu?t drop, as they are dropping now In France for ail automobiles, with the exception of racing machines and vehicles for show. QUEER USES OF COMMON THINGS. Ileglnnlng AVhen Man and Ills "Wife Iirt Got OXI at This Eurth. Harvey Sutherland, in Alnslee's. "When Man and his Wife first got off at this Earth station without a return ticket, funds, or baggage (they didn't even have a hand-satchel), they found two of their four limbs disengaged from the task of walking, and at the ends of each of these two lirnbs five prongs, all movable, one of them capable of being opposed to each of the other four. They had also something inMde them, restless and Inquisitive, Just like other cousins that hung by the tall In the trees and jabbered at them. Xot living in trees and being simply obliged by that Internal 'restlessness and lnqui.itlveness to do something with the two spare limb-ends, they began to fuss with objects about them, iney were not so strong as some animals, not so terribly armed as some, not so safely armed or disguised as some, not so sharp of vision, acute of hearing or so keen of scent as others. They were in a world already well-peopled by creatures that distinctly resented their coming as an intrusion entirely uncalled for on such short acquaintance; in a .world where all the labels of 'Good' and 'Bad' had come off if, indeed, they had ever been stuck on; In a world whose motto Is. and ever has been. 'Root, Hop, or Die.' with the accent on the 'Die;' and in a world which had as little sympathy then as now for a young man trying to make his way in life. If that internal restlessness and those two pronged limbs could not be turned to account, it was obviously all up with the new-comers. "From that date the Queer Uses of Common Things began. 1 can Imagine the shocked surprise of the Birds (very good family, the Birds are; among the early settlers, old as the hills, distantly connected with the Reptiles. I believe) I say I can Imagine the shocked surprise of the Birds when, after having flown up to a safe place in a tree. Man threw stones and knocked them off the perch. " 'Why why. whaL kind of doing is this they demanded to know. 'It's no fair pepping stones. Stones belong on the ground. It Is a very queer way to act. and we shall certainly complain to the janitor about it.' "The other animals thought so. too. when Man learned how to put some sort of an edge on the htone ami to haft It in i split stick, .-o as to reach in and kill them in their burrows, which is plainly against the rules of tho game. This unnatural lengthening of the arm entailed other quer uses of common things. The stone kept süpplng out of the fplit stick, and M. u took grasses to tie it fast, and hat grew cut of that first knot would take a book to write. But the strings slip;ed off th? stone and Man made use of the glue, hi.-? own blood, which Is a very good glue. Indeed, if you use a plenty and have nothing better. Later he used the blood of the pitch pine, and still later he boiled hoof and horns of animals, and used thlr sinew for strings to lash the spearhead fast. "After having made the cut in himself to get the natural glue the wound began to smart, for at that time our ancestor had not discovered the great truth that really he had no pain, but suffered only from th belief that he had one. The poor, ignorant creature tried everything he could lay bis hands on to see if he could not makthe soreness go away. No doubt he to'.d It to get out, but the power of mind over matter was not great In jhse days. I

From imagining likenesses In different herb to parts of hi own body, and Incorporating thoxe weeds in poultices, he arrived at the queer discovery that the salve ought to be applied to thsword instead of to the cut it made, and it simply did beat all how much quicker it healed that way. It did not hurt the sword much to have the salve on it. and It gave nature an opportunity to do her own curing, which she will do if she ha half a chance, unless the case is too serlu. when she adopts the phi'osupy of 'Doc' Fifcrs, as celebrated by James Wltcomb Hiley: " 'What's your idy livin when you're Just as good as dead?'
