STABBED BY A JAP.
By the Blows from Sword in The BANDS Of
a Policeman Who Had Become Insane Over
His WrOngs-Ths Wounds Of Zoe
Carswltch are Not Dangerous.

BERLIN May IA dispatch from
Toxic, the capital of Japan, announces
that an attempt has been made upon the
life of the Czarewitch. The imperial
traveller, though seriously wounded, is
considered to be in no danger OF dying
The particulars as TO the attempt at as
sassination received here are most mea-
gre. The only details given are that the
Czarewitch was suddenly attacked by
japanese who was armed with a sharp
sword. The japanese, before he could
be overpowered, succeeded in inflicting
severe wounds upon the Czarewitch,
who defended himself gallantly. The
motive of the attack is not given in the
dispatch received here.
The Czarewitch, who has been travel
ing in India and China for some time
past, recently returned to Hong Kong
from Canton and started for Foo Chow
and Han Kow After leaving China the
Czarewitch started for Japan, and ex-
pected, according to the route mapped
out for him, to reach Vladiyostock at.
the end of Mao, where he was to inspect
the new Russian war port and dock
yards being built at that eastern termi-
nus Of the Trans-Siberian Railroad.
The occasion Of the Czarewitch's visit
to the extreme limit OF Russian domin-
ions was to have been made the occas-
ion for much ceremony and popular re-
iocing. The Czarewitch, during his
stay at Vladivostock, was to inauguar-
ate the Ussuri Railway, the easternmost
section of the Trans. Siberian line,
about three miles Of which, enough to
permit the running of the imperial
train, has been completed.
Upon leaving Viadivostock the Care
witch was to cross the Amoor territory
into Eastern Siberia, escarted by the
governors OF the respective provinces,
and was to be present at number OF
imposing solemnities at Irkutsk and
Tomsk. The Imperial traveller was then
to go to Omsk, the capital OF that por-
tion of the Russian empire. At the end
of August the Czarewitch was to reach
Orenburg, on the European frontier,
amp was TO preside at the three hun
dredth anniversary OF the formation OF
the Cossack troops OF the Ural of which
the Czsrawitch is Ataman, Or chief.
The Czarewitch was then to return to
st Petersburg, either travelling via.
Samara, Pensa and Moscow or by steam
ship up the Volga from Samara to Ry-
binsk and proceed thence By rail to ST.
Petersburg.
A dispatch from Shanghai says: The
Czarewitch had gone 10 resort known
as Otsu, on Lake Biawauma, where a
native policeman named Tsudesanso,
struck him on the head wilh sword,
intending to kill him. The
wound was not serious, owing to the
tougbness of the Czarewitch's sun he'll
met. He received sword cut on the
side of the forehead. 1t is believed the
culprit had become insane brooding
over fancied wrongs.

Popularity of a Colored nWoman in Han
a. over, Indiana.
Hanover, Ind, Aug. l9.-One of the
most remarkable cases that have come
under the notice of the medical fratern-
ity is that first developed three years
ago by Mrs. Jane Harris, Colored wo-
man of this county, who is now being
treated at one of the hospitals in Louis-
vile. The affliction is confined exclu-
sively to the toes, the outer shells of
which drop off or are shed every three
months, leaving perfectly formed toes,
over which other shells Immediately
grow and are shed in similar manner.
These cones or shells, specimens of
which have oeen preserved by number
of physicians, consist of thick and ex-
tremely tough and cutaneous substance,
being perfectly formed toes as to mold
and appearance on the outside, and hol-
low on the inside. The shedding pro-
cess is attended by no pain whatever and
but slight Inconvenience. In fact, Mrs.
Harris is hardly conscious of the re-
markable change her toes are under
going during the shedding period, until
she takes off her shoes and empties
them of the:r singular contents.
