the threshold, back through the small
hall, into the main hall and deposited
in the arms of the almost fainting
mother her boy.
Not word was spoken. A gasp from
the father, an exclamation of unutter-
able astonishmcnt pleasure, pain and
gratitude from the mother was all that
served to break the stiffness of the
night.
One part of the contract was fulfilled
the child was restored-another part
remained to be carried out The ran
some was to be paid. 1t was quickly
done. AS soon as his arms were re.
lieved of their precious burden they
were extended for the reward.
Then for the first time was the mans
face seen. 1t was the same man who
had consulted with Mr. Beals during
the afternoon. The reward was paid.
Five Thousand dollars in notes were
handed the man.
Subsequently Lizzie Smith," the
servant who disappeared at the time of
the abduction, and Albert King, the
man who rented the house near the
Beals residence, were located and ar
rested by the police. They proved to
be crooks passing for man and wife
who had served term in the Colorado
penitentiary and were only released
last August.
1t fell to the lot of Police Captain
Burns to supplement the return of the
child with the arrest of the woman who
has been the instrument by which un-
told misery was sent into a happy
household and an entire community
wrought up to the highest pitch of ex-
oifey,apt

IL ussia and France EBtrr into Defensive
Compact-An Offset to the Triple All
anoe of Germany, Austria and Italy.
LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The first authen-
tic information conveying the results
OF NJ. De GiersA soiourn in Paris has
reached the foreign Office through the
British embassy at Berlin. NJ. de Giers
communicated to Emperor William and
Chancellor Won Caprivi clear explana-
tion as to the conferences held in Paris
and the character of the Russo French
entente therein secured. Doubtless he
has instructed his minister to make
declarations, with a view to having not
only the German government but the
other interested European governments
learn the nature of the compact be-
tween Russia and France.
According to a Sc emi-official statement
based on NJ De Giers' declaration to
Chancellor Won Caprivi, the Russian
statesman's recent interviews with
President Carnot, NJ. DeFreycinet,
premier and minister of war, and Nj.
Ribot, minister of foreign affairs, re-
suited in a definite agreement for an
exclusively defensive alliance. The
entente agreed upon, according to the
statement quoted, differs in one most
, essential point from the triple alli-
ance treaty, inasmuch as while that
makes the European statu quo
the basis of the maintenance of
peace, the Russo French entente aims
to what NJ. De Giers has called RE-
spect for treaties" meaning, especially,
the restoration of Russia's grip on Bull
garia and British evacuation of Egypt.
The differences in these features of the
situation are not meantime TO be re-
garded as constituting danger OF war,
as both the Russian and French gov.
ernments desire to assure a strict ap-
plication to the existing treaties by pa
ciic means.
NJ. De Giers has further communi-
Gated the fact that no treaty has yet
been signed and has intimated that the
French ministers desire the conclusion
of formal contract as alone properly
defining future responsibilities and
rendering it possible to pursue dis
tinct policy before Europe, while at
the same time avoiding the reproach OF
cherishing warlike designs.
The sum of these official assurances
from the Berlin embassy is that the
Paris conferences of NJ. De Giers, in
stead of having an empty character, as
was generally reported, have resulted
in a scheme to maintain diplom attic
warfare against the dreibund and
England, awaiting a more propitious
period for engaging in actual war; De
Giers' communications assume the first
Importance, not for what they disclose
so much as because they constitute the
first official admission of the Russian
government to the powers that
Russo French alliance has really been
arranged

ApvIcEs from China are to the effect
that the government has decided that
the printing and publishing of anti-for-
eign placards is q capital offense and
has ordered those already convicted of
this offense to be beheaded forthwith
and without waiting for the formal in
perial authority. 1t was hoped that
these stern measures would have a
deterrent effect and convince the pow
ers that the government is in earnest,
as under ordinary circumstances a
period OF two months would elapse be-
fore the executions.

THE STOLEN CHILD private detectives
by the dozen came to the house,
and the one inquiry was concern
ing the reward offered, and
whether or not the conditions OF
the reward would be carried out faith
fully. This inquiry was based upon a
notice published on the windows OF the
Union National bank and elsewhere in
conspicuous places to the effect that
s., 600 reward would be paid for the re-
covery of the boy and no questions
asked.
1t was in relation to this latter clause
that most of the inquiries were made,
and particularly did the stranger dwell
upon this in his interview with Mr..
Bcals yesterday afternoon. The man
was told that the offer was made in

Fatal Stabbing of an Italian in West
Hubokcn.

Ngw YORK May "A stabbng affray
which bears a strong resemblance to the
work of the Malta occurred Friday night in
the Italian quarter in West Hoboken The
only thing known about the case in the Ital-
ian quarter is the name of the man who was
stabbed and the probability that his wounds
are dangerous. There is q wound in his
breast and another in the neck both made
with a stilleto
The victim is Louis Perito, a silk weaver,
who boarded IN Spring street. He had given
up his employment and made arrangements
to sail for Italy yesterday. FRIDAY evening
he was the center OF a group Of excited Itai-
lans who were talking and geSticuating at
West and Hague streets. Suddenly two Of
the Italians seized him, one on each side,
and third plunged stlleto into his breast
and neck. Some of the other Italians inter-
fered and saved him from being murdered
outright.
Justice Schnurger Of Union Hill, who was O
witness OF the scene sent for police
man, but before the messenger could
find him Perto's asSailants were
released by their companions and
had disappeared, running in the direction Of
Jersey civ. Policeman NermOlt followed
them for a short distance, but soon gave up
the chase.
Perito refuses to disclose the lanes Of his
assailants or make any complaint against
them. The West Hobokeu police hold that
this relieves them from all responsibility in
the matter, and will not make any effort to
capture the murderers.
\ resident of the Italian quarter advances
the theory that Perito was possessed Of some
secret that they feared he might divulge
when he reached Italy, and they decided 10

E4Ns4S WHEAT PESTS.
Letter from Chancellor Snow of the
state IniVersitN.

kansas CITY, Mo, May l0-Chancellor
Snow Of the state university Of Kansas has
sent to Secretary Mohler Of the state board
of agriculture letter concerning his con-
clusiOns regarding the present wheat pest in
Kansas. The letter was made public today.
The chancellor says: The present spring
has been particularly unfavorable for the
health Of chinch bugs, but still in twenty
counties in the southeastern part of the
state, included between meriians 95 degrees
and 90 degrees, and between the thirty
eighth parallel and the southern boundary
OF the state, the chinch bug is out in full
force. In other counties of the state the pest
is not so numerous, but still it exists in fully
one-half Of the counties. The bugs now in
the wheat fields are remnant of last falls
brood which hlbenated. The females have
been laying their eggs and the young will
soon be hatched. The eggs are very sus-
ceptible to the influence of climatic condi-
tions and if we should have heavy rains
between now and May 20 the crop OF young
bugs will be much ensmaledn
Continuing the report says: "ACtiVe
measures must be resorted TO to keep the
pests down. Much hope is placed in the out
come Of the workings of the new re medy, >
namely, the attempt to spread artitiCially a
contagious disease among the bugs The eX-
periments of the early spring in the labra-
tory indicate the activity of the Contagion, and
if the cooperation of the farmers, by sending
in large numbers of 1--we, healthy bugs may
be relied on, the station win be prepared TO
scatter infected bugs all over the state. Sev
eral reports showing the Hessian fly have
been received, among others from Sumner,
La Bette, Butler, Geary, Mcpherson, Ma
rion and Douglas counties showing gen
eral distribution, but think that no serious
apprehension need be felt for the safety of
the wheat crop because of the fly. The re-
port from Russell county concerning the
presence of small green bug in the wheat
fields and the subsequent investigation by
Secretary Mohler and myself has been fully
exploited in the newspapers. There is no
new information about the bug or its alleged
damage to the wheat to offer do not be-
lieve it will prove consequential in crop in
I'm
