HeirS Claim Valuable Land.

A straight case of mental oblivion COW
ering a period OF seventeen years came
10 light in Allegheny, Pa. Seventeen
years ago Charles Washburn was injur-
ed on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific road near Chicago. He went 10
Allegheny after being discharged from
Il hospital and engaged in the paint bust
ness He married an Allegheny woman,
10 whom he told nothing of his accident,
and the couple have four children. Sew
eral nights ago one of Washburn's daugh-
tiers dropped lamp in the room in which
he was sitting. He became excited and
fell TO the floor grooming, oh, my head"'
lie was put to bed unconscious. The
next day Washburn regained conscious
ness. Was l much hurt in the wreck =
were his first words He asked his wife,
who was sitting ON the bed, if she was
the hospital nurse. When she laughing
~ told him that he was raving and that
she was his wife he ordered her from
the room, saying: You're too fresh for
a nurse" He demanded to see the doc
tor attending him and his wife sent for
DIR. Stanley Small, who was so astOund-
ed with what he found that he called in
Dr. Edward +. Mayer, a specialist. The
physicians decided that Washburn's mind
had been a blank for seventeen years. He
did not know his wife and children and
Indignantly denied ever meeting them. He
claimed to be ~ years old and shrank
back when he looked at himself in a mir
ror. The doctors call his afiiction am
neSie.

1t is somewhat surprising that Admiral

1t is time that the navy should be
purged of snobbery. If any gentleman
educated at Annapolis feels that his deli

sociation with men who have attained
commissioned rank through merit rather
than through routine, then let him take
himself out of the navy and into more
congenial society.-Chicago Chronicle.
Pray, who is Admiral Sampson, who
thus sets himself up to be the McAllister
of the navy, and the leader of its social

of people who had no social advan-

own living as a boy, and by luck got an
appointment to Annapolis, where he was
educated at the governments expense

In other words, the admiral doesn't be
lieve that any American youth should be
permitted to gain honor in the navy un-

contact in foreign waters.-St. Paul Pion.

APPEAL FROM CHINA.
She Asks Powers TO Prevent Gear from
Taking ManchuE.ia.


China has made a public confession of
her pitiable condition and calls on the
powers to stop Russia's raid on Manchu-
ria. The appeal was made when, in re-
Spouse to an urgent message from his
home government, the Chinese minister
in London, Sir Chin Chen Lo Feng Luh
called at the British foreign office and
presented q powerful request that Eng
land use every means at her command to
prevent Russia from obtaining the need
ed signatures to the Manchurian agree
ment.
The United States has formally declin-
ed to interfere or make any protest
against the seizure of Manchuria by Rus
STA, and this leads to the almost certain
bbelief that the European powers will
follow the lead of the United States.
1t is fully realized that Russia is in a
dangerous state of public feeling at pres
ent, and thai any protest against her
raid on Manchuria would not only be
useless but perilous to the nation making
it. Japan is certain that the plans of
the bear will be carried out to their ut
most limit, and that all the signatures
needed will be secured. The little ma
ton, however, is not inclined to be so
peaceful as her larger neighbOrs, and
open threats are being made that Japan
will be forced to fight Russia if the clam
or for war is not ended promptly.
The Chinese appeals for support have
failed to produce any direct remon-
strances from Great Britain or apparent
ly from any other power to St. Peters
burg, for Russia persistently adhered to
her contention that the secret agreements
concern no one except herself and China.
On this ground Great Britain's request
for copies of the agreement was abrupt
ly declined.
1t is explained at the British foreign
Office that it would be a dangerous and
useless breach of diplomatic procedure to
endeavor to enter upon representations
with Russia which would only be based
upon Information supplied by the Chi
nese. In other words, the copies of Sc
cret treaties and alleged notifications Of
them recently given to the powers by
the Chinese are worthless documents and
will remain such until Russia herself
chooses to communicate the text of the
actual treaties and notifications.

BUSINESS is STILL ACTIVE.
1t Is Not So Buoyant, However, as
WePfCs Past.


Weeks Past.
Bradstreet's views the business situa-
ton thus: Trade is still active, though
perhaps not so buoyant as in weeks past,
partly owing to the natural subsistence of
the spring demand at wholesale and part
ly because of the interruption TO demand
and shipments by snow and rain storms
IN the northern half of the country. From
the South the first distinctly unfavorable
advices received for some time come as a
result of the heavy and continued decline
in the price of cotton. Iron and steel are
strong and even buoyant. Chicago and
Plttsburs display great animation and
central western mills are crowded with
orders. War talk induced some short
covering in wheat, and -four strengthened
on better demand, but crop reports were
IN the main favorable. The strength of
hog products and higher prices for live
hogs has resulted in talk of a corner be-
ing worked in May delivery at Chicago.
Present prices are the best recorded for
years past. Wheat, including -four, ship
nents for the week aggregate 3,256,6 44
bushels, against 1868, 800 bushels last
week and 1908, 495 bushels in the CORE
