General Wolseley's declaration in
the House of Lords that the United
States Army was the most efficient
in the world for it's size is unquestion-
ably true. Wolseley added that Eng
land must either pay her soldiers bet
ter wages or resort to cOnscription if
she intended to raise the general char
acter of her army. Voluntary enlist
ment will not fill the ranks Of a big
standing army unless it offers at least
equal pay with the peaceful industries.

ATSUMARO GROWS WARLlkE
Says Japanese Army Could Drive Russians
Out of Manchuria.

London, April 3.-Russia's reply to
Japan's protest against the Manchur-
ian convention, says the Yokohama
correspondent of the Daily Mail, is re-
garded as unsatisfactory and further
vigorous representations will follow.
Prince Konoyo Atsumaro, president
of the house Of peers, in the course
Of an intlammatory speech, openly dis
cussed the probable results of a war
between Japan and Russia, and said
that Japan could count upon the
friendly neutrality of Great Britain
and Germany. He declared that the
United States would not interfere and
France would only cause uneasiness
by the employment of her Annamese
forces and by a naval demonstration
off Formosa.
This" he predicted. "would be the
limit Of French action and Japan's
vastly superior army would be enabled
without great difficulty to drive Rus
STA out of Manchuria."

once.-Cheoks and VIII Wore Forged
Aner Rice's Death.
New York, April 3.-Without the
slightest quavcr In his well modulatcd
voice and displaying no outward sign
of regret or rcmorse, Charles II. Jones,
secretary and valet to the late Will
lam Marsh Rice, yesterday confessed
under oath that he had ended the life
of his employer and benefactor with
chloroform.
The confession was the climax OF a
remarkable recital In which was laid
bare the details of an alleged subtle
conspiracy, which had for Its object
the seizure of $3,OO0,0OO in cash and
negotiable securities and the convcr-
sion of $4,000, 900 In realty to the uses
Of the alleged chief conspirator, AL
bert Il. Patrick.
1t was Patrick, he said, who con
ceived the idea of forging n will and
forging transfers and conveyances. 1t
was Patrick who induced two persons
to witness the forged signature. It
was Patrick who determined that Rice
should die and 1t was Patrick who
sought to have him killed slowly, and
then, becoming impatient, determined
upon quick action. And, according to
Jones, remarkable as 1t may seem,
Rice never knew Patrick during his
life time and never saw him but
once. Jones testified that on
the day of Rice's death
death he told Patrick that Rice seemed
to be better. According to the wit
ness Patrick then gave him a bottle
Of %chloroform, told him to saturate a
towel with it and to place the towel
over Rice's face for about 30 minutes.
Continuing, Jones said: 81 did as
Patrick told me md left Mr.. Rice's
room for about half an hour. Then
l sent for DR.. Curry. When DR.. Curry
came Patrick said My God, doctor,
that Is the worst thing that could
have happened to me-"
Jones testified that the checks for
$4,000 and $135,0OO respectively on
Swenson & Sons and the Fifth Avenue
Trust company were made out after
Rice's death.
Patrick, accused by the witness of
being the arch criminal, listened to the
with attention and occasionally made
notes. Not even the remarkable wit,
ness on the stand was more cool, calm
! and collected than this remarkable
prisoner. Patrick's hand was steady
and firm. He displayed neither anger
fear nor resentment. When Jones
reached the description of the murder
Of the sleeping man, Patrick merely
stroked his beard and leaned back
in his chair, apparently slightly bored
by the recital Of the details.
