REGARDED WITH INTEREST.


Departure of Russian Fleet for
80 C0rea.
The cable reports that Russian fleet Of
fifteen vessels was on its way to Corea
have attracted much attention among the
diplomatic representatives of the far east,
to whom it was shown. 1t Is regarded as
pI esentins grave conditions, II the facts
are as reported. The fact that Fusan Is
one of the points toward which the Rus
SLAMS are heading is pointed out as spe-
cially significant. FUsan is at the south
easterly extremity Of Corea, and is the
point nearest to Japan, being only twelve
Further north is Won-San. the strategic
point in Corea which the Russians have
long sought to secure. 1t is on Brough-
tons bay, in the middle of the east coast
OF Corea. The rorth arm of the bay is
known as Port Lazareff, and here the Rus
sian fleet comes regularly for maneuvers.
The bay Is the only useful harbor in the
stretch of six hundred miles along the east
coast Of Corea. The harbor is perfectly
sheltered and is open the year round.
Leading authorities agree that it will ulti-
mately be the terminus of the TRANSIT
ber;an railway which Russia is building.
For these reasons, the movement of the
Russian fleet toward these points of
strategic Importance is watched with keen
interest.
Count Ineuye, who was formerly Japan
csc minister to- Corea, has started again
for Corea as the special ambassador.

Ex-coNsUL wALLER's CASE.

Documents That Mrs. Waller Will
Present to the Department.
Mrs. Waller has not yet had an interview
with the Secretary of State, because of the
absence of her papers. These arrived yes
terday, and she will go before the Secretary
of State with them, in company with her
attorney. Mr.. Crammond Kennedy, as soon
as he can classify the documents.
The presentation which she will make is
intended to establish the presumption of in
nocence on the part of her husband. She
will exhibit, among other documents, all
the letters written to her by Mr.. Waller
after his arrival in Tamatave previous to
those on the strength of which he was ar
rested. and these will show that Mr.. Waller.
instead of attempting to inform the Hovas
of the movements of the French, through
his correspondence with his wife, refrained
from all reference to such questions. except
to caution her against any act which could
be construed as partial to the natives. An
affidavit from the Hova lad for whom MIR.
Waller was to purchase four pistols in Lon
don, to which reference was made in the
sequestrated letters. will also be presented.
The arrangement for this purchase, 1t is
asserted, was made long before the trouble
between the French and the Hovas arose,
and Mr.. Waller was requested TO procure
these weapons for the lad. his father and
two other relatives. simply because they
could be procured more cheaply In England
than in Madagascar.

SCIENTIFIC SHOP-LIFTING.
Even the Baby Wns Purloined Frol
the Counter.

Even the Baby Was Purloined From
the Counter.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Outside of thu big Paris stores there were
lately grouped lady, nursemaid with
baby in her arms, and an inspector of po-
lice in the execution Of his duty. The lady
had Just been given into custody on a
charge of unlawful sampling off the count
ers. She was protesting her innocence in
the most eloquent and moving terms. The
nursemaid was too far gone for words, but
she sobbed in a highly effective man
ner upon the baby's shoulder. The great
heart of the people that stood round was
stirred. 1t found voice, anon, in cries of
bas against that inspector. Abashed. in
deed, he might have been. had he not
shrewdly and suddenly unwaterproofed his
prisoner.
For, underneath, she was all overproof-
f1uttering with fans and fancy articles, fes-
tooned with lace and ribbons and fallals of
all sorts, hung round with natty boots and
neat umbrellas. 1t was sight to give the
ahasers pause. A certain revulsion OF feel
ing in favor OF constituted authority began
to set in. But when constituted authority
proceeded to unclosk the nursemaid also.
a roar of execration arose from the by
ISLANDERS. For the baby fell upon it's head
and stove it in. The inspector had to go
down upon his knees and pick up the frag-
ments of that fractured skull and show
them around. Then there arose another
sort of roar. Fragments of wax they were.
The very baby was a shop-lift.

Give. His Foot to n College.

From the Chicago Times Herald
A letter received by student from Den
yer, Col, states that the late Robert c.
Greiner made a curious bequest to the
University of Michigan. Greiner was a
native of Jackson, Mich, and was killed
two months ago In the boiler explosion at
the Gumry Hotel. His wife died with him.
The will was written by Greiner himself
But the last clause concerns the University
of Michigan. 1t directs that after his death
his right foot shall be amputated above the
ankle and presented to the Ann Arbor
Medical School. 1t is to be mounted as a
skeleton preparation and labeled 'Bob's
Game Foot"
Mr.. Greiner had a peculiarly formed an
kle and dislocated toe, which had been a
great source of trouble to him, but such q
puzzle to physicians that he came to take
great pride in 1t. Hence his desire to per-
petuate the abnormality. University au-
thorities have heard nothing of the peculiar
bequest, and 1t is not known whether he
ever was treated here for any of the diff
culties arising from his deformity.
