that negotiations must be had with the

BoRGIAN ARTS IN PARIS.
An Attempt TO Poison Attaches of the
Chinese Legation.
(From lie London Tclegr8ph.) J

(FTUm tGe London TciegTspI.)
An extraordinary affair has happened
at the Chinese Legation in Paris. which
has already been the scene of some
startling episodes. The Italian secretary
of the Chinese Minister, Signor Armani
di Parma. on opening his correspondence
recently, found q letter signed by Pol
ish woman named Marie de Czerwinska,
who gave an address in the Rue de CIis-
son. She set forth that after having
shoue as a bright particular star IN
Lithuanian social life. she had to become
an exile and to live in Paris She was
at present, she added, the brink OF
starvation, and said that nothing could
be done by her except 10 start for China
AS she is q linguist, knowing besides
Polish the Russian, French, and Italian
tongues. she thought that she could be
utilized as an interpreter by the allied
forces in the Far East. The secretary of
the Chinese Legation was asked to Kindly
provide funds for her departure fCr the
land OF the Boxers and to tx Z meeting.
Signor Armani di Parma was about To
throw the letter in the waste parsr has
ket when he saw that the envelope con-
tanned another enclosure. Opening this
he found inside it a flower resembling n
daisy, which he mechanically applied 10
his nose. and was instantly overcome By
a dTowsy sensation
Pulling himself together after few
minutes of somnolence and being thor
oughly revived by a sniff OF Smelling salts,
the secretary rang for an attendant,
whom he asked to examine he flower
The man put the daisy or Whatever it
happens TO be, to his nose, and he, tco.
became temporarily overpowered with
dEowsiness. Another attendant was
called. and experienced the same strange
sensations. Signor Armani di Parma
then sent the envelope and all its con
tents TO the police
The flower was handed over to a chemical
expert for analysis, and a warrant was
issued for the immediate arrest of Marie
de Czerwinska- She was found in the Rue
de CHsson and appears to be about forty
nine years old. She admitted having sent
the letter but disavowed the flower The
police official who examined her said that
the letter arrived intact at the legation
whereupOn the Polish woman replied nys-
teTiously that it must have been opened
by countess who was her mortal enemy
and who possessed all the secrets of Lu-
cTeZia B0rgia and OF the Borgia family
generally. 1t was the countess who, in
order to ruin her, had put poisoned flow
er in the communication intended for the
secretary of the Chinese Minister The
woman was then sent TO the Saint -Lazare
prison, where she is undergoing examina-
tion as to her mental condition. The Iand-
lady says that she stayed out rather late
and was fond Of talking about writing TO
the President Of the Republic and the Min
isteTS. The Iandlady accordingly arrived
at the conclusion that Nine. de CZerwinska
was little demented. The head of con-
vent Tho knows the prisoner has also
stated to the police that the woman is not
responsible for her actions.

STRANGE RELICS IN ALASKA.
Traces Of Prehistoric Man Found
Near Mount ST. Elias


SEATTLE, Sept 13.-The first authentic

William MurdocE. son of a prominent
81. Louis millionaire, accompanied by Al
King, practical miner and explorer. have
located a copper mine where, ages ago men
worked; where weapons and articles OF

The exact SPOT is in the foothills of
Mount st, Elias, made famous as the tall

The two discoyerers were startled when
they plunged in through a cavern opening,
from the bright sunshine to a deathly
stiffness; to a chill and mysterious at
mosphere, and found grinning skulls at
their feet
Startled as they were, they recognized
the fact Instantly that they had entered u
cave where a. ges before man had made his
home. Only deferred for the moment, the
two explorers hastened to further inrea
tigate the remarkable find.
Here and there in the cave were found

with a drawing of one of the skulls.
IN examination of the numerous skulls

Around in the vicinity Of the skulls
were scattered numerous other pieces of

the human anatomy of some former race.
As many of these pieces as possible We're
carefully gathered and put in q secure
place for future investigation.
After a close inspection OF the cave
the two explorers picked up a rusty
piece OF copper machinery, which proved
to have been a copper drill. With it the
work Of removing the metal was accom-
plished bs the cave workers an almost
uGimagInable length of time previous.
Unlike the men of the old stone age,
who had remarkably long skulls, the men
represented by the age of the remains

tically weil-fcrmed skulls They were
