beating feebly, however, and Drs. f.
Lee and Mitigate were summoned.
He is dying from hunger" the doc
tors said at o st is too late to
save him."
Fetch regained consciousness, how
ever. He said he had not had a fire
this winter and had been without food
for several days.
What have you done with all your
money!" he was asked. as it was
known he had a pension.
Il gave it to the church." he said.
Officers from the Twelfth precinct

''Feitch has beer missing from SER

LONDON, January 27.-Some of the
afternoon newspapers associate the de-
parture to-day of the new Japanese
battleship S~hikishima with possible
complications in regard to the situa-
ton in China, especially as it is an
nounced that the Shikishima will en-
deavor to traverse the Suez Canal by
divesting herself of her armament. Up
to the present, no ship of such size
has traversed the canal.
The Interpretation that the depart
ure of the <Shikishima was directly due
to the situation in China is incorrect,
as the Associated Press learns to-day
that the date set for the sailing was
decided on many weeks ago, and a
farewell party was held on board or
her previous to the deposition Of the
Emperor of China. But though this
incident was given exaggerated i'm
p~ortance if the afternoon newspapers,
the Associated. Press is able to say
that those in England most cognizant
of the secret aims. of Japan, especially
those who are fulfilling her naval on
tracts, have for some time past thor
oushly believed she meditated striking
a blow at Russia. If this impression
is correct, and there is the highest and
most conservative authority on which
to base it, it is not unlikely that
Japan's hands may be formed, and
that her intended coup will be attempt
ed before her plans are completed. =
1t may be that Japan only medi-
tates for the present a demonstration
to prevent Russia from accomplishing
the designs which various correspond
ents have credited her with since
The Change in Clsinass Emperor.
Two powerful wal vessels, built for
Japan on the Clyde, will oon be ready
to sail, while others are under course
of rapid construction. Their strength
has not attracted much attention, but
their Importance as international fac
tors can be judged from a statement
made to a representative OF the Asso-
ciated Press by. one of England's great
est ship builders, who declared the
vessels building for Japan were the
most powerful in the world, and could
destroy the best British ships in III
teen minutes.
A well-known naval expert, tells a
representative of the Associated Press
that if Japan puts in commission the
ships scheduled for service in the near
future he will. be ready for war with
in six months, and can then defy Rus
STA, and as the Japanese and Russian
ships at present in the far east COM
pare, Japan's fleet would have an ex-
cellent chance of controlling the situa-
tion..

THE CRAMBLETT CASE.

Term of Court.
Special to the Register.
STEUBENVILLE, O., January 90
The general opinion about the court
house to-day was that there would be
a continuance in the CramDiett muir
der case until next term.
One of the attorneys for the defense
is of the opinion that tie true story
of the mysterious assassination of
James H. Gosnell would soon be out
and that suspicion falls very strongly
on a man who has been acting strange
ly since the murder.
The prosecution has been holding
several cards up it's sleeve and be-
cause of the secrecy all connected with
the prosecution are compelled to OBJ
serve, it has been hard to find out what
they really were. The State will
spring a husking peg found the next
day near where the horse stood on
the night OF the murder and will en-
deayor to prove that 1t is amD S.
Since the sitting of the grand jury the
State has learned of a professional
mar at Mt. Pleasant. to whom. it is
alleged, Cramblett's father admitted
his sons guilt; also two others to
whom the father made partial admis'.
sions. The worst things that have
come out against Cramblett 30 far
have been cue to the indiscretions of
his relatives. Though the physicians
afidavits bear only on the motions FOR
a continuance and do not affect the
guilt or innocence of Cramblett, they
are withheld from publication. They
could not, it is held. injure the secur-
ing OF a jury.
