ALLEGED H~YDROpHOBIA.
Two Victims of a Dogs Bite Dead and
~ Young Lady In Danger.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 2.-The departure
of Miss Margaret Otis for the New York
iPasteur Institute for treatment, last night,
has brought to light the story of the death
of two men and the possible sickness of
the young lady from the bite of a pet dog,
h~ydrophobia having developed. Miss Otis
left for New York on the advice Of her
physicians, h feel confident that it is a
case of h~ydrophobia. Miss Otis has been
employed at the Great Northern general
offices in this city and, during the latter
part of November, while in one of the cor
ridors of the big building of that railroad,
saw a pet dog, and, together with others
who were near, petted it. E.. L. Gibbs, au-
ditor of the Great Northern, and his clerk,
Frank Hoshaw, were there, and all were
snapped at by the dog, but in no case was
there a sign of blood. Mr.. Gibbs died
about a month ago, the announcement of
death being that it was due to spinal men
nights. One week ago Mr.. Hoshaw died
with much the same symptoms. Now Miss
Otis has been attacked, and her symptoms
are the same as those of the two men who
died. and it is believed that all three cases
were true cases of hydrophobia. It is not
positively known that the two men died of
-hydrophobia but in view of the decision of
the physicians in the case of Miss Otis and
the knowledge of the similarity of the
symptoms and the further fact that all
were bitten by the same dog. 1t is now
claimed that both the men died from hy-
~drophobia.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The facts re-
garding the resignation of Solicitor-general
Maxwell are gradually coming to light and
thus far they differ materially from the
statements published yesterday morning.

from ether sources, that the So.icitor-eener-
ais conduct. with reference to the income
tax cases nov before the Supreme Court

action. The income tax suit begun some

MEXICUS ULTIMATUM.
1t Will BE announced Monday, and
May Be n War Declaration.

CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. president
Diaz will give out on Mopaay, Feb. 4,
what is expected to be Mexico's final ulti-
matum in the dispute with Guatemala. If
current rumors are to be believed 1T will
be a declaration of war. 1t is stated to-
night, on what is believed to De good au-
thority, that the Mexican Cabinet. will not
deviate from its original policy. The Cabi-
net held a lengthy session this afternoon
at which Most of the members of the diplo-
matte corps were present, and another ses-
sion was held tonight in private. The senti-
ment of the people seems to be strongly
against any receding by Mexico from the
original contention. 1t is runored that
Guatemala will not recede or ACCEPT Mex
fco's demand. The sentiment among the
American colony here SEEMS to be unani-
mously in favor of President D.aZ'S course.
Guatemala now has 13. 7U0 troops on the
frontier and 5000 more started from Guate-
mala City last night. A report is current
here, but, of course, not s~ubstantiated. that
the Rothschilds nave agreed to loan the
reported Central American federation one
million pounds sterling.

Custom Prevents Any EIectfoncerinE,
and the Result Is Uncertain.

The diocesan convention for the election
of a bishop of the Episcopal diocese will
occur Wednesday, at Grace Cathedral. Since
the burial of Bishop Knickerbacker the sub
ject has been an interesting one to every
member of the diocese, and there has been
much quiet speculation. It is the rule OF
the church that the Office should literally
seek the man, and If it should become
known that any Clergyman. one Of them
said, had sought the Office by making APP
peals for support in any way. it would
count seriously against him. This makes
the outcome OF the convention a mystery
which cannot be foretold. There are sew
eral clergymen in the diocese who are men,
toned as capable of wearing the mitre with
credit to the church, but in talking with
members of the episcopata 1t is learned that
the likelihood of any clergyman in Indiana
being elected Is exceedingly remote. 1t
is frankly acknowledged by many that hui
man nature crops out among the clergy and
makes the elevation of any one of them
from the ranks a matter OF questionable ex-
pedieney. His administration OF the affairs
of the diocese would have to be marked by
extreme delicacy in order to make II sue
ces5ful and win the earnest support OF the
otner clergymen. For this reason most OF
the opinion that the next bishop would be
chosen from outside of the State.
AOSO IiCl4tAoIlCQ 4tinfalld dIiQ lucy
will no doubt receive sorne votes, are Rev.
@. A. Christensen, of St. Paurs Church;
Rev. Mr.. Seslbreeze. of Fort Wayne: Rev.
Mr.. Cathell, of Richmond, and Rev. MIR.
Bradley, formerly OF Christ Church. The
principal clergyman eligible from outside
the State Is Rev. Mr.. Faude. who is rector
Of Gethsemane. in Minneapolis, where
Bishop Knickerbacker preached so long.
The election is by ballot. The convention is
made up of clergymen and lay members.
elected by the boards of yestrymen. The
latter outnumber the clergy, and decide the
election.
The new bishop will find the diocese bear
ing the stamp OF the late bishops executive
ability, and will have time to devote to af-
fairs which Bishop Knickerbacker could not
develop as he desired. Instead of 2 diocese
disintegrating, the new bishop will find a
vigorous body. with wide-awake clergymen
and a devoted body of Christians. The do
cese has an of SAC, 900 accumu-
lated through the labors of the late bishop.
The diocese is now In an inviting condition..
and it may not prove 50 difficult to select q
bishop as it did eleven years ago, when
Bishop Knickerbacker was elected. Two
clergymen elected at that time declined the
call to this field.

JAPAN WILL REJECT 1T.
.hange in the Treaty Made by the
Senate Is objectionable.


WARRINGTON, Feb. 1.-The belief IS
growing in diplomatic circles that the ac-
ton of the Senate in attaching to the new
Japanese treaty a proviso that it may be
terminated in one years notice after it goes
into effect, will operate to defeat the treaty
and 1t can be stated on good authority that
in its present shape the entire treaty VIII
be rejected by the Japanese government
1t transpirs that the Senate was influenced
in this action, not by any fear that the in
terests or liberties of American citizens in
Japan would suffer by making them sub
ject to japanese law and rellnquish the
right to extra. territorial jurisdiction, for
this clause does not go into effect until five
years have elapsed. The actual reason was
founded on tariff consideration. BY the
treaty, the United States allowed Japan,
within thirty days after it's ratification, 10
fix her own tariff charges on imports from
the United States, instead of holding her
to the old treaty, by the terms OF which the
United States itself fixed the rate at one
figure per cent. advalorem on all Imports.
In thus admitting Japan,s right 70 TX her
went further than Great Britain or any
other OF the great powers. Inc Japanese
looked on our action with deep gratitude as
the first recognition of the fact that she
was really on even terms with other great
nations.
The little amendment. which at first glance
seems incor sequental, really means much u
Japan, for it is said to touch the founda-
ton of her whole projected new tariT sys-
tenn. The draft of the laws necessary to
put this into effect has been already pre-
pared awaiting the ratification OF the treaty,
yet if Japan should accept the amendment
She Will be placed in a peculiar and doager-
Gus position. Having proceeded under the
new tariff for a short time, and in the
meantime having negotiated trade treaties
with other raticns, japan might be suddenly
notified by the United states of the termin-
alton of the treaty in one year. The reia-
lions of the two Countries would then revert
to those prevailing under the present treaty,

Irresponsible Newspapers and Blatant
Political Stump Orators Criticised.

KANSAS CITY. Feb. AT the annual
banquet of the local bar association federal
Judge John F. Phillips. talking to the press
and the bench, complained that newspapers
frequently usurped the privileges of the
courts and tried cases in their columns be-
fore the facts had been heard by the juries.
He said that many irresponsible papers and
blatant political stump speakers tried to
convey the impression that judges and Off
Gals generally were corrupt; in other
words, that they all had their price. Mca
sitting on the bench were accused Of being
the tools OF corporations because they hap
pened to decide a case in their favor, no
consideration being given the thousands of
cases in which the poor were the victors
over ricn men and corporations. In conclud-
ing his remarks Judge Philips stated that.
Notwithstanding the criticisms of the press,
he would stand with one hand on the Con-
stitution and the other on his conscience
and would do his duty under the law.
