RECEIVED AT WASHINGTON
Russia Submits Communication Bearing on China
and Manchuria Which Produces Favorable
Impression on the administration

fication that a way had been found to
dispose Of the complications W the
Manchurian question and to bring
Russia into strong accord with the
other powers. At the Russian en-
bassy no information was cbtainable
as to the communication, Count Cassini
asking to be excused from all inquiries.
Tbs Russian communication is the
more significant, coming at a moment
when'the press advices from Russia
assert that Russia was collecting an
army Of 800, ono men for the purpose
of holding Manchuria without refer
ence to the desire of the other powers.
There is no doubt that Russia has a
large military force in Manchuria, SO
that had she determined to hold the
province, she had the military estab.
lishment already on the ground pre-.
pared to maintain her occupation.

HAD LONG FAST
Demented Farmer Lives Almost
Month Without Morsel
of Food.

Graceville, Mimi, April 5-Twenty-
two days ago John R. Lindquist, a
farmer, who imagines someone is try
ing to kill him, left his home during a
violent blizzard. Although a search
was kept up for several days 10 trace
of him could be found. He was thinly
clad and it was supposed he vas
frozen to death.
Today when Edmund Colwell of
Barry went into his field to burn a
straw stack he found L%indQuist in a
burrow in the straw, very much
emaciated and with his feet and lower
limbs frozen. L%indquist claims he
had been in the stack for % days, dur
ing which time he had not had a
morsel to eat. He obtained drink by
crawling to a nearby slough. He has
lost over so pounds in weight during
his fast. At present he is in the hos
pital here. His feet, or portions Of
them will have to be amputated.

Washington, April 5-The United
States government has received a COM
m%unication from the government Of
Russia Of unusual Importance. bearing
on conditions in China and particu-
larly those relating to M%anchuria.
The document is of such a character
as to have produced a favorable i'm
preston, and at the state department
it is looked upon as the most salu-
tory document that has been received
for many months in the problems of
the east. As to the exact terms Of
the communication there is no official
statement thus far, although later it
doubtless will be communicated to the
public. Secretary Hay received it
from the Russian ambassador, Count
Cassini. last night and took speedy
steps to lay it before the president.
The latter shared the secretary's graft

CASE.
Needles. Pins. Comb Teeth. ETC.. In a
Girls Arm.

Needles. Pins, Comb Teeth. ETC.. In a
Girls Arm.
The medical fraternity Of Elwood.
Ind. are puzzled by a most extraordi-
nary case. and they are unable to make
satisfactory explanations of the re-
markable phenomenon.
! The 19-year-old daughter Of John
Turner called the local surgeons to
have extracted from her arm needles,
brass pins. comb teeth and a variety
of similar small articles. Recently
Miss Turner called at the Office of Drs.
Newcomer and Dick and complained
of a severe soreness of her arm be-
tween the elbow and shoulder. The
physicians investigated the patients
arm and finally removed a long sewing
needle. The pain was not eased. and
Miss Turner returned for another oper-
alton. Two more needles were taken
from her arm. She came back in the
evening again. and six more were re.
moved; a Eairpin and the tooth of a
comb were also extracted. The father
Of the young lady has since removed a
brass pin, and appearances give indi-
cations of articles beneath the
surface Of the skin which have not yet
been removed. -
The circumstances were so unusual
that the physicians in attendance re-
fused to make public the facts. but
there is now no doubt regarding the
examination and the results. The
young lady and her parents cannot re-
call how or when she could have got
the articles into her body. 1t is barely
possible that she might have swallow
ed them when a small child. The
question that arises from this theory
is how the articles passed from the
stomach to the arm and why they
should all work out to the same place.

Novelty In Lawson Boat.

The Lawson cup racer Independence
will be fitted with what is practically
u pole mast. Neither the ~telescoping
idea of the Herreshoff models of pre-
vious years for the topmast with the
doublings will be seen in the indie
pendence. Instead the heel of the top
mast will run into the hollow main
mast about four feet and be perma-
nently held there. 1t is quite evident
that no great harm can come of a top
mast being on end for the entire race,
and what is lost in weight aloft is cut
down some in windage. due to the urea
of the spar of the topmast in the make
of the doublings. to say nothing Of get

work, as well as all the housing gear.

SENSIBLE
Postofice Department Considering Comfort
of Letter Carriers.

Washington, April 5-An innovation
looking to the comfort of letter carriers
throughout the country during the
heat of the summer, probably will be
introduced this year by official permits
sion to divest their coats on their
rounds when felt to be necessary. It
is expected that the postmaster gen
eral in the near future will issue an
order formally granting authority to
postmasters for this purpose and modi-
flying the requirements so as to allow
carriers to wear a Suitable blue blouse
with turn down collar and black tie.

Chronicle from St. Louis says: Sister
Kuehn of st. Joseph's convent, has APP
parently been cured of cancer, after IS
years of suffering at a time when she
was apparently at the point of death
from the malady.
The seeming miracle which it is
claimed was performed, occurred on
st. Joseph's day, March Is, the feast
of the saint, after whom the order
was named. 1t came at the end of
the nine days lovena of prayer for the
recovery Of the nun, FABRICATED in by
all the sisters of the convent. She

affected her stomach until the 10th
when she awoke from sleep with the ex-

white scar. Since then Sister Kuehn

and exciting, finish of the shoot-of,
miss and out, of the % ties in the
Grand American handicap, Eugene, o.
Griffith, of Pascoag. r. l., won with a
total Of 43 straight kills at Interstate
park, L. L., today. twenty-five men
tied for first houors with 25 kills each
and in the shoot-off Griffith, who was
onSthe 28-yard mark, outshot all his
opponents by killing his 18th bird.
The victory Of the New England
man was a complete surprise to a ma
jo1ity Of the contestants, as we'll as
to spectators, several hundred Of whom
watched the finish of the contest from
the plaza, veranda and roof Of the Ca
sine, and when the last bird was shot
Griffith received an ovation from the
%on-lookers and congratulations were
showered on him by all the gunners
who had taken part in the big event.
The winner holds the championship
of Rhode Island for shooting at imam
innate targets, but has not been promi-
nent as a live bird trap shooter. He
said today that he had not shot at
more than 800 live birds in his career
at traps. Last year he took part in
the Grand American handicap contes:
and killed 20 out of 25 and this was
his most successful effort at live birds,
until today.
On previous occasions when men
| tied with full scores in the handicap
they divided the. moneys which under
the conditions was due to high guns,
but this year no arrangement was ar:
rived at by the 20 who tied and they
shot off for individual positions ano

cash and the silver cup presented by
the Interstate association.

Dom Paul Processes Satisfaction
with Conditions in South
Africa.

New York, April ga dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says:
An interview with MI. Kruger ap-
pears in the Matin. The former presi-'
dent of the Transvaa] was seer in a
modest little house at Utrecht. His
eyes have been very much improved
by recent operations and he can now
dispense with spectaoles. Sitting in
front of a table with a bible under his
left hand, Kruger spoke in the pres
ence of the Orange Free State dele
gate, Fischer.
Kruger will go to the little village
of Hillbrun, not far from Utrecht, for
rest. Nothing has been decided re-
garding his trip to America. He will
undertake the journey if his strength
permits and if there is any hope of
gaining an advantage.
Pointing to Herr Fischer, the aged
president declared the two republics
we're i%ndissolubly united. He said:
"Her Fischer is fighting for the same
cause as my heroic friend, President
Steyn. The two presidents and two
commanders, Botha and DeNet, will
share the same fate. The British
government, British telegraph and
British press always try to make this
much (and he measured his little
finger) look like this much land he ex-
tended both arms). I am persuaded
every thing is going we'll out there,
especially because our enemies con.
tinue to dissimulate and twist the
facts.
