FREDRIKssAS.s CASE.
The state Department May Cali on Russia
TO Make Amends.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 0.-Nicholas Fredrikssan
who escaped from the Russian naval guard
house last July, and whose case attracted SO
much attention at the time, through the ac-
counts published in THE Sun. appeared at the
State Department to-day in the hope Of enlist
ing the assistance of this Government in secur-
ing PREPARATION from Russia for the treat
ment he received. The legal officers of the
department were much impressed with state
ments OF Mr.. Fredrikssan. which were I'M
shaken by the severest cross-examination. The
mans mother, an Alaskan woman, died when
he was four years old, and the death Of his
father. a Swedish sailor, followed four years
after, SO he compelled to rely on hearsay as
to the place OF his birth. 1t was cOnclusively
shown that he was child not over six years OF
age. and resident of Alaska. when that territory
reverted Ia the United States In 1867 and that Re
lived there until 1859, when he was sent 20 a
Chicago school. He lived in Chicago until
few years ago and amasscd a fair fortune.
His residence there gave him undCninble
American citizenship, but when he returned To
Alaska some time ago he took out American
naturalization papers as an additional surety to
enable him To conduct business among Alaskan
natives. Upon the strength OF his naturalization
he obtained passport last December, and took
II with him e. Russia. There he was seized as
deserter from the Russian navy, and, although
passport was taken away from him and he was
thrown into the naval guard house, from which
he made his escape.
There is apparently no doubt that Minister
Breckenridge will be Instructed to press the case
very vigorously before the Russian aathorities.

shaft this morning at the factory of the New
Jersey Rubber Shoe Company. lie was on the
fourth floor Of the building trundllng heavy
car load Of shoes which he intended to take down
the elevator. The platform of the elevator was
at the first landing, and the safety cato that
guards the elevator shaft while the platform Of
the elevator Is down was in Its proper place. As
he was pushing the car along he noticed this
and ran forward to look down the elevator
shaft to see where the platform was He raised
tho safety gate and leaning forward looked
down the shaft.
In the mean time the car OF shoes came rum
bling along down slight incline Of the floor, and
before he perceived his danger It struck him from
behind and he plunged down the shaft to the plat
form on the first floor. The car also fell, but 1t
did not fall upon him.
Drs. Williamson and Smith found that he had
sustained compound fracture Of the left thigh

county ticket may resign. +. H. Taylor, who
heads the ticket. is out to-day in a letter with
drawing his name and scoring Don VI. Dickin-

has denied 1t, will lose him 10000 Catholic
Democratic votes. This was the statement
made by Eugene Sullivan, a well-known young
Democrat to-day.

1t Is That of Man Who Was Once Swal-
lowed by an Alligator.
Edward Rowland enjoys the distinc
ton of being the only person living who
was swallowed by an alligator. The
saurian swallows his prey whole and
digests it at leisure, and it is to this
characteristic that Rowland owes his
life.
When boy, his parents owned win
ter home near Sanford, Fla, which is
near Dunn's creek, where there are still
more alligators than can be found in
any place else in Florida.
At the time mentioned, it was liter
ally swarming with the huge reptiles,
and the largest ever killed were secured
here, one measuring over 10 feet in
length.
Young Rowland had gone with his
parents to point on the st. Johns riy-
-er, near the mouth of Dunn's creek, and
had wandered away from them, Sud-
denly a huge, gator emerged from a
small lake and started toward creek,
coming Immediately past the place
where the boy was seated on the bank,
kicking pebbles The child started to
run, but stumbling fell head first i'm
mediately in front of the reptile, which
swallowed him at once.
Young Rowland S screams were heard,
and the parents reached the scene just
in time to see the disappearance of their
son down the huge throat of the sauri-
an. The father, never dreaming that
the boy was not killed, shot the alliga-
tor, the ball, fortunately, striking him
in the eye and penetrating the brain.
The feet of the boy were protruding
from the mouth of the dead alligator,
and with the thought of only obtaining
his remains for burial the reptile was
cut open There were signs of life, and
after several hours of hard work the IA
ther succeeded in resuscitating the boy,
the only serious injury being to his an
kles, which had been crushed by the
reptiles teeth when he was in the throes
of death.
Since that time Rowland has been a
cripple, but only to the extent of having
to wear steel braces on his ankles. =

Eye Treatment of Epilepsy.

Scarcely any discovery of modern
medical science is more valuable than
that treatment of the eye may lead to
the cure of epilepsy. In the New York
Medical Journal DIR. Ambrose L. Ran
ney gives full details of the treatment
of the eye which he has adopted with
% patients. The correction of the eye
muscles has led to the cessation OF the
epileptic seizures. Most of these patients
had been drugged with bromides for
years without any cure. Some OF the
cases treated were of long standing.
One patient had suffered for "a years
from epilepsy. Seven years have now
passed since his eyes were treated, and
he has had no return. Another patient
had such violent paroxysms that he had
to be confined in padded room while
they lasted. He is now cured. a third
has been in perfect health and part
ner in large business for three years.
