The executive committee of the
Board of Lady managers of the
Worlds Fair, who charge Miss
Phoebe Cousins, the secretary of the
Board with changing the minutes OF
the November meeting and having
them printed without authority, for
which they want to depose her,
seemed to have walked up a tartar.
She says that when she appears be-
fore the board of control she will
show photographs and copies of the
original minutes showing that she
has not changed them. She alleges
that Mrs. Palmer wanted her to
keep from the minutes the name of
Mrs. Hooker and her sharp refusal
to tamper with the minutes was the
cause for the board trying to remove
her. The fight is an interesting
one, and the ultimate outcome is
watched with interest, the sympa-
thy of the public seeming to lean to-
ward Miss Cousins, who, single
handed and alone, seems to be
abundantly able to hold her own
against the board that propose. to
0ust her.

Their most sacred custom had been
Violated, and In their rage they acted like
demons. The Russians defended them
selves In turn. They tore off the
tiles from the roof and used them
as missiles. They did considerable execu-
tlon, and In the melee a great many more
japanese were killed and wounded than
Russians. or course this only widened
the breach between the Russians and the
Japanese, In spite OF the fact that the
Russian government took no official no.
tice OF the occurrence.
But this attack on the czarawltch, fol-
