Japan will oppose vigorously such

Russia has made demands tor impossible

Korea will probably ask Japan for help.
London, March 30 Tho British Govern
mont has not received any news thnulns
to confirm the adviceS from Japan as to
Russian designs in Korea and Is Inclined
to doubt their accuracy. The Premier,
Lord Salisbury, is learned, apprchcnhs
no possibility Of an immediate rupture b.
tween Japan and Russia.
Whatever may be done in the future re-
carling the disturbances around Tien-
Isin, it is learned that no steps have yet
boon taken looking to concerted action
upon tho part OF the powers, nor Is there
apy indication that official circles regard
the situation in China as being as serious
as t is made out by the authority OF tho
press dispatches. From all sources OF in-

Murderer's Tragic Death. -

Oil City, Pa. March 29.-This afternoon
Sexton Barney Canning OF ST. Joseph s
Catholic Cemetery, while passing throuqh
the grounds, found the body OF Amos Eli
der, who murdered his wife last Sunday,
sitting beside monument. A revolver
was clutched in the dead mans hands.
Elder deliberately shot his wife. Not
satisfied with his first attempt at murder
he stood over her prostrate form and fired
three moro shots into tho body. Elders
daughter, who attempted to wrench the
revolver from her father, was knocked to
the floor and the murderer made his es-
cape
On the body Of Elder was found gold
watch. shaving materials, small amount
of money and copies of newspapers for
Monday and Wednesday containing ac-
counts of the murder and tho funeral Of
Mrs. Elder. Elder had shaved himself
this morning, and the revolver clutched
in his hand was the same one with which
he had murdered his wife,
An examination of the cemetery dis
closed the fact that Elder has been hiding
there the past four days,s and, d,consequent.

HIS FIRST BATTLE.
The Feelings of an Officer When He
First Faced Bullets.

What are the feelings of an officer
when for the first time he leads his men
into battle? This is question which the
soldier himself alone can answer, and
we suspect that good many would be
unwilling to go too closely into the SUBJ
ject. Tho hum Of rifle bullet the
shrek Of shell. the rush Of q cannon
shot, must be and always has been eX-
tremely trying to the inexperienced war
rior. A certain officer, who prefers on
this occasion to be nameless, has frankly.
described his first experience In battle.
"We were advancing to the scene Of
operations" he says. "On entering q
strip of wood It occurred to me that my
men, being raw recruits, would not fight
we'll on horseback, and so ! ordered them
to dsmount. This, of course, stoDped
the whole body of the army behind the
regiment. While the men were leisurely
tying their horses an officer came up at q
furious gait and asked peremptorly.
'What have you stopped here for and
blocked up the whole roadT l saw tho
point in moment and bade my men
move out Of the wood. In the meantime
my scabbard got itself hopelessly entan-
gled in bush, and the more tried to
get 1t loose the more it stuck the faster
So told my men to form at the edge Of
the wood and wait for ME. Then cue
the straps and left my broken scabbard
in the bush, while, with naked blade
flashing in my hand, rushed to the
front. Not man could | find. They
were anxious to see the fun and had run
over the brow Of the hill and scattered
h. ,baIo ~ tho lInn
infinite difficulty, many words and moro
temper, got them together again.
"We were barely in position when Il
heard distant cannon and at the same
instant saw the ball high in the air. As
near as / could calculate, 1t was going
to strike exactly where stood, and dis
mounted with remarkable agility, only
to see the missile of war pass GO feet
overhead. ! felt rather foolish as look
ed at my men. but good deal relieved
when saw that they, too, had all squat
ted on tho ground and none Of them was
looking at me. | quickly mounted again
and commanded them to stand up We
were ordered to charge soon after, and
the enemy easily gave way before us,
for which | was most devoutly thankful.
We passed some dead and wounded, the
first sad results of real war that had
ever seen. At night black clouds over
spread the sky, the rain fell in torrents.
Not even n campfire could be kept to
light up the impenetrable gloom. l
stretched myself upon the soaked ground.
The pale, rigid faces that l had seen
turned up TO the evening sun appeared
before me as | tried in vain to shield my
own from the driving rain, and as the
big foot of a comradc, laundering around
in the darkness, splashed my eyes full
of mud closed them in my first sleep
upon battlefield. d."-Chums.
