WANTS AN ALLY.
John Bull Would Like to Have Cousin
Jonathan Aid Him i'm the Far East

London. October 26.-The alarmist
dispatch to the Times from Hong Kong
published yesterday, announcing that
Russia, by the treaty recently conclud-
ed with China, has acquired the right
to anchor a fleet at Port Arthur and
build railroads which would connect
Vladivostock with that port, remains a
great subject for newspaper comment,
although the report has not yet been
confirmed by the British foreign office.
The Westminster Gazette this after
noon, commenting upon the develop
ments in the East, points out that, in
its opinion, an excellent opportunity is
now offered for making a beginning
with what it describes as "the union in
the higher diplomacy in the United
States and Great Britain, to which all
thinking men in the English speaking
world so confidently look forward"
Continuing, the Westminster Gazette
remarks:
America, with ourselves, is a pacific
power. For years back she has taken
great interest in the development of
Japan, Corea and China. The interest
Of John Bull and Cousin Jonathan are
Identical. Neither desires to disturb the
status quo; both wish TO get fair share
of what commercial advantages may be
going. Should the Times Hong Kong
dispatch be confirmed and the Cars
advisers unfortunately persevere in
their determination to disturb the bal
ance of power in the far East, Japan
would look for friends. obviously Great
Britain and the United States.
The little anxiety in the foreign Of
flee now would be cheaply bought if it
is led thereby to carefully consider the
future diplomatic and navel relations
between the old country and her stren-
uous sons across the Atlantic, and to
realize that the English-speaking
world can better employ its strength
than in internal squabbling over such
petty matters as the boundaries and
obligations of Venezuela and Nicar-
auga."

THURSDAY OR FRIDAY
Of Next Week is the Date on Which
the Durant Trial
Will Probably be Given to the
Jury - Attorney Dickinson will
Finish Tuesday, and the Others
will Follow Immediately with
Their Arguments-Long List Of
Instructions Expected.

San Francisco, October 26.-The
trial of Theodore Durant is nearing its
close and the case will probably go to
the jury next Thursday or Friday. At
torney Dickinson. for the defense, has
said he will conclude on Tuesday morn
ing, TO which day the case has been
continued. and Attorney Deuprey also
for the defense, will probably finish for
Durant on Tuesday afternoon. District
Attorney Barnes expects TO begin his
argument on Wednesday morning and
to complete his closing address the
same day. Judge Murphy's charge
will be long and exhaustive, and its de-
livery may occupy a day. The EXHIBITS
are numerous, and in the case OF some
will require much study on the part OF
the jury. This is particularly true OF
the comparison Of the notes OF Durant
and those made by Student Glazer,
whom Durant quizZed.
1t is understood that the District Al
torney will parallel the two sets OF
notes and argue that Durants coulu
not be more like GlaZer's without haV-
been copied verbatim. The District At
torney. it is said, will also attack the
roll call and will call attention to the
error in making Student Gavin present
when he was in fact absent.
The jury will be asked to judge for
itself as to the alleged similarity be-
tween the handwriting Of Rev. }.
George Gibson and that on the package
inclosing Blanche Lamonts rings. The
defense abandoned its intention OF plac-
ing experts on the stand to endeayor TO
show this alleged similarity.

The crew of the incoming eleven
o'clock train on the Elm Grove road
discovered the body Of a man lying in
the middle of the track. i'm the cut in
the rear of the Cecil property, a short
distance this side Of Elm Grove. abous
five minutes after eleven o'clock last
night. The skull was crushed, and the
wheels Of the train had passed over the
left arm, which was almost severed.
The remains were put in the baggage
car and brought in 10 the city, where
the police were notified, and they in
turn communicated with Coroner
Schultze by telephone. Capt. Bennett
examined the clothing, and found sew
eral papers, from which It appeared
that the name Of the deceased was
Samuel King. He was large and
stout colored man, probably thirty-hve
years of age. He was dressed in u
striped shirt, jeans trousers, and heavy
shoes. About half-past twelve this
morning the body was taken to Frank
SchrOeder's undertaking establishment
on the South Side, where an inquest
will be held this morning.
King went out towards Elm Grove on
the six o'clock motor. He had been
drinking. At nine o'clock he was seen,
in an intoxicated condition, on the pike
at Elm Grove, and at about Ten o'clock
he was again seen by Lester Smith.
King was then In bad humor, and at
tempted to hit Smith with a stone.
Nothing more was seen of him until his
body was discovered by Engineer
Nightingale, Of the incoming eleven
O'Clock motor, and he and Conductor
Palmer placed the remains in the car.
He must have been hit by the same
train on its way out TO the Grove, but
the engineer says he neither saw any
one nor felt any shock TO the motor,
such as would be caused by running
over a man. II is probable that King
either rolled down the steep bank and
was hit while lying on the track, or
lay down on the track In drunken
stupor and was there struck.
Superintendent w. Il. Weisgerber, OF
the Railroad Company, was notified at
once, and accompanied the remains to
the undertaker's.

Berlin, October 26.-At the dedication
of the Emperor Frederick memorial
church and the Empress Augusta mon

here for the first time since her illness,
which commenced at the Kiel fetes, be-
ing brought on by over-exertion upon

reason why her birthday October 22)

SUCCESSFUL.
Canal Boats Propelled by Electricity
by Means of a Device Invented
by Richard Lamb, of Virginia.

Tonawanda, n. Y, October 26.-After
several more or less successful private
tests. the new system Of operating canal
boats by electrical power was publicly
demonstrated here to-day to be feasible
and progressive. The system is the in
vent:on of Richard Lamb, native OF
Norfolk. Va, and the designer OF the
Corliss engine, made world famous at
the Centennial Exposition in Philadel-
phia. It is an electrical cable way, and
was first used In hauling logs out OF
North Carolina swamps.
The power used was generated at the
falls by the Niagara Falls Power Com
pany and was conveyed here by wire.
Thus the waters of the great lakes fur
nished both the medium and the motive
power for transhipment.
The test was made in the presence Of
hundreds of spectators.
Everything moved like clock work,
and there was not a hitch to mar the
event. A speed or four or five miles an
hour was developed.

AS QUAY SEES 1T.
He Says Pittsburg Can Secure the Republi-
can Convention.


Washington, D. c., October 90
Senator Quay says Pittsburg can have
the National Republican convention if
she shows she has sufficient hotel ca
pacity to entertain the delegates. There
seems to be an impression among the
national committeeman that Pittsburg
cannot do this, but Mr.. Quay says he
will do his utmost 10 secure the con-
yention. He thinks that San Francisco
is the next more likely place, for she
already has II or Is committeeman
pledged and large fund to care for the
convention. He doubts if Chicago has
much chance. When asked if he was
for Thomas 3. Reed for President, Mr.
Quay did not deny that he was, but re-
Trained from discussing the subject. It
is believed here that Reed IS his first
choice.
Mr. Quay declares that something
must ba done to save the potters and the
wOOlen industry, both of which are suf-
fering from the present tariff. but he
could not predict what would be done
in this line, because the President might
impose a veto. In the present condition
of the wooden manufactures. by reason
of the preference for English goods at
present tariff rates, he thinks duty
on raw wool would not produce much
revenue.

A SPLENDID PASSAGE
Made by the Stearser st. Paula Little
over Six Days.

over Six Days.
New York, October 26.-The new
American line steamer st. Paul. Capt.
Jamison, dropped anchor in quarantine
at 3:44 this morning, having made her
maiden voyage from Southampton to
this port in the remarkably fast time
of 6 days, II hours and 81 minutes.
Had it not been for the fact that the
port engine was stopped on October %
for twenty-one hours, owing TO a de-
fective air pump, the st. Paul would
no doubt have broken all records from
Southampton.
This is all the more apparent from
the fact that one days run showed the
splendid average speed Of nearly 21k
knots for twenty-four hours.
The ST. Paul passed the Needles at
1 :36 p. m, last Saturday afternoon and
arrived at Sandy Hook Lightship at
2:27 this morning, covering a total dis
tance Of 3,051 knots. Easterly winds,
with confused swell, prevailed during
the most of the passage.
The passengers were most enthusias-
tic over the steadiness and fine sea
going qualities of the ST. Paul.
A noticeable fact was the almost en-
tire absence Of any vibration Of the
ships engines. Very few Of the saloon
passengers wers even aware Of the
stoppage of the Port engine on the 23d
inst. while repairs were being made 70
