Toa Call reporter she told of her at-
foction for Mr.. Fair. Sho told her story
freely, candidly and withou. hesitancy.
Before speaking about herself she said:
81 will begin by stating that
thcre wero many condolences between
NJ. Fair and myself which cannot
touch upon at all. HeItod me all about
hia life-hia success, his failures, his
Joys and his sorrows. From these con-
tidences | concluded that he had been
moro sinned against than SHINING"
Misa Couzlns then related her trouble
with tho Worlds Fair board of lady
managers, when she applied to Fair for
political assistance and was asked to
correspond with him. She responded.
"And this" Miss Couzins resumed after
q pause, Opened the correspondence
between Us which eventually led to our
hetrothal. Mr.. Fair arrived in Chicago

that he had come all tho way from Cali

become his wife. told him that 1
would give him definite answer within

he need not have fear OF my final de-
cision. He seemed very much pleased
at this. MIR. Fair was taken sick in Chi
cago shortly after this and I nursed
him." VI
when Mr.. Fair had recovered suffi-
ciontly to enable him to be up and walk
around, he called me aside one day,
"'l want to settle up my affairs he

"on tho following day Mr.. Fair was

SiNoSosExr. March 24.-As Ii Hung
Chang, the Chinese peace envoy, was
returning to his lodgings in this place
to-day. after having attended a confer
encs with Count Ito and Viscount
Mu.su, the Japanese peace pleui poten.
tiaries, a young Japanese fired a pistol
a. him. The bullet sped straight, but
most fortunately did no more harm
than to lnhic. q wound In Ii Hung
Chang's face. At the time OF sending
this dispatch Il lis impossible to learn
whether or not tho wound is serious.
TIE attempt to assassinase the repre-.
sentative OF the emperor Of China caused
the most intense excitement. aud on
svery side thero were expressions OF
deep regret. The would-be murderer
was arrested. 1t is believed that he
was prompted to the crime by mis-.
guided patriotism.
is stated that on Thursday last the
Japanese occupied Fisher island. ono OF
the Pescsdore group. Sailors were
landed on the coast, and the.e were fol-
lowed by troops. The Chinese made
no opposition.
TIE papers here say that Japan has
purchased two warships from Chile.
An official return that has just been
issued shows that the total Japanese
less during the whole campaign has
been only 1,654 men killed.
The attack on Ii Hung Chang. calls
to mind the attack made on May II,
1891, to kill the czarewitch, now the
emperor OF Russia. In November. 1890,
the czarewi,ch, in company with his
cousin. Prince George OF Greece. started
On tour OF the world. They visited
Vienna, Athens, Cairo, Bombay. Cal
custa, Madras, Ceylon, Bangkok. Siam
and various places in China and Japan.
While at Otsu, Japan, tho czarewitch
was attacked with sword by fana,i-
cal Japanese officer and quite severely
wounded. He would in all likelihood
have been killed. had it not been for
the bravery OF Prince George, who
sprang upon the would-be assassin aud
tellsd him to the ground.
Tho affair caused the greatest excite
ment, and the nikado travelled to Otsu
10 visit the czarewi,ch and express his
regret for the attack. 1t has been the
intention Of the czarewi.ch to return tn
Russia By way, OF the United States, but
he was summoned home by Gar Alex
ander. and upon his recovery he re-
turned TO St. Petersburg by way of
Siberia.

4 NEW CLAIMANT
To tho Millionoire's Estnte-Apothor Child
Turns Up In California.

Turns Up la California.
OAKLAND, GALA, March 24.-A new
claimant to the estate OF James G. Fair
has appeared in the person of seven
year.od Ethel Jacobs. According to
the story OF her ios,ermother, Mrs. ia
cobs, tho child was brought to her in
1887 in response to an advertisement
for baby to raise, by q man calling
himself II. II. Roe, and who said no
was acting for tho father. For eighteen
months $50 was sent Mrs. Jacobs
monthly by Roe ior tho child's mainte.
nance. Then tho remittance ceased,
and six months later a letter was
received by Mrs. jacobs. stating,
that hereafter Senator Fair would help
support the child, as he was the father.
With the infants wardrobe had come a
photograph OF the alleged father. whom
Mrs. Jacobs recognized as Fair when
she met him subsequently,. During
the next fow years the woman says she
saw tho ex-senator periodically. somo..
times receiving money from him di.
rectly and at other times by letter. Mr..
Fair, according to tho stntemenr, had
thought much OF the child and COM
mented on her growing resemblance to
himself, Tho woman claims to have
documentary proof OF all assertions.
