WAR CLOUDS.
France and Russia May Crush Japan
in War.

New York, May Ia special to
the World from London says;
Speaking to the New York World
correspondent Sir Charles Dixie
said; "Japan is now much too
strong for Russia and France COM
bined, until they have had couple
of months preparation. do not
believe Germany will send troops
there in any event"
"Do you regard the situation as
likely to result in hostilities between
Russia and Japan2'
"Well, our knowledge of the facts
is so limited that it is impossible to
give a definite opinion. But their
relations could not well be more
strained than they are now without
actual war 1t is evident that
Russia feels strongly and will act
accordingly, if Japan will propitiate
her France will follow Russia in
anything she does"
'The ultimate result of such a
war would be the overthrow of ia.
pan, would it not?"
Undoubtedly. These two pow
ers would crush Japan eventually"
What would the policy of En-
gland then be1"
Great Britain would not move
until her interests were touched,
when of course, she would safeguard
them. But until that happens it is
apparent that she will stand strict
ly neutral" "

Whatever then should prove to
be the merits of this alleged cure
for diphtheria, there a be no mis-
take in the policy cleanliness and
of constantly improved health ad-
ministration. Our American cities
come short of their European con-
temporaries in most points of munic-
ipal ~.ganization and service.
Fortunately. IN the matter of
public health work We have less to
be- ashamed of than in almost any

The best report OF the situation at this
writing we can find is principally taken
from the Aberdeen News.-Special CORE
sponGence from Pierre.
Plainly put and bIuntly spoken, State
Treasurer W. W. Taylor is an embezzIer,
abscOnder and II fugitive itOm justice.
The amount Of his deialcatiOn will
reach quite $500, 900, practically all OF
the state money in his hands eXceptsome
$4,000 or $4,000 on deposits in
various banks of great or less stability.
The wreck is complete; save ~ stated
above there is nothing lett, for nearly all
OF the assets are worse than worth
less.
1t has been known for a year that Mr..
Taylor personally has been in hard
Straights, but not one OF his most init
mate friends thought his situation hope
less or even desperate. 4 report rendered
to public examiner Myers in April 1894
showed the office in good shape, the
funds all accounted for, but II report de
manded in November was not forth
coming. The peculiar and unpreCeden-
ted panic OF 1898 set the stone rolling
down the hill. Mr.. Taylor had full conf
dence in his ability and shrewdness az q
tinHncier. Like others OF his class he
could see no direct reason for the panic.
Therefore, when houses were tOppiingall
around, without TO him apparent cause,
it is easy to understand how he sue
cumbed to heartrending solicitations for
aid from thOsein whom hehad confidence.
While no excuse can be made or even
attempted for Taylor's ~cuipability, it is
shown from what already appears that
he weakly permitted himself to ~bedragged
to ruin by his friends. He rushed to the
rescue OF a lettering bank here and Il
tOttrring bank there, a ruin threatened
friend on this hand and another on that,
believing probably, that the cash would
be forthcoming when needed. None OF
his friends will admit that he ever
gambIed on the board Of trade or other
wise, and it is unlikely that he did.
What parties will do who shared in
Taylors gencrouslty remains to be seen, it
is the opinion OF those who should be
the best informed that Mr.. Taylor took
none OF the money with him, but that he
is i'm the PAST tryiup 10 rinse fine 'undS us

abled to supply it patrons with n fine
quality and o. plentiful quantity of
water from the Pine Run supply. 1t
will be remembered that when the
state board of health inspected the
Crystal Spring supply they found no
fault with the Pine Fan source and
after a clos- examination they found
this water course pure. sparkling and
urcontaninated. The rains of the past
few days have sent a torrent from
Pine Run into the reservoir, which re-
lieves the company of resorting to
river water. It is a matter of great
delight to consumers that they have
thus been relieved, and relieved in such

turn of the distressing conditions of

BEFORE THE MAYOR.
somo Peculiar Cases Between Parents

Some Peculiar Cases Between Parents
and Children Como Up.
Mayor Nichols had his hands full yes
terday morning, in settling cases of diff
ficulty which have come up between pa
rents and their children, who have not
turned out well. The first was the case
Of Bertha Binney, a young woman
twenty years of age. Her father said
that she had lived with various families
for over two years, as servant, but late
ly she had been seen with Mary Ann
Smart and other women of bad char
acter, and she had stolen from her own
home at various times. She had taken
gloves, shoes. etc, and had purchased
various articles at some Of the stores
and had them charged The girl ad-
mitted being fond of dancing, and said
her mother had always been cruel to
her. She told very pitiful story. stat
ing that on cold nights she had several
times been compelled to sleep in the out
house. officer Connors also said he had
seen her sleeping in cellarway, and
did not see how she withstood the cold
weather.
Mayor Nichols believed at least parts
of the girls story and will thoroughly
investigate the case before rendering
any decision. He put off his judgment
until today, and will have the girls
story inquired into before he takes any
steps to punish her for theft, as the
parents desire
Patrick Kerrigan, the bad man from
Jones street, furnished the next case.
On Sunday morning he threatened to
kill his mother by cutting her throat.
and later in the day repeated the threat.
On Sunday night officer Brown arrest
ed Kerrigan after desperate fight, in
which Kerrigan struck Brown with a
hammer.
His old grayhaired parents appeared
against him and told story of the
sufferings caused by this wayward son.
The mother requires q stick to support
her and tottered up to the seat to testi-
fy with big, pearly tears on her cheeks.
She testified that her son has been a
wayward, drunken, troublesome fellow
for years, and that lately he had re-
fused to work. was always drunk and
yesterday made several attempts to
kill her with knives and different in
struments.
officer Brown said that when he was
called to arrest the prisoner he found
him with two hammers and a chisel in
his hands and threatening to kill the
first man who advanced toward him.
He struck Brown but was subdued by
the nippers. Kerrigan has a bad rep
utation in police circles, and seems to
be somewhat demented. Mayor
Nichols bound him over for court in
the sum of $1,000 bail, and fined him
$40 for resisting an officer, and making
threats against his parents.
