WOmcn's Club in New York Thinks

New York, March 23.-The fashion
able Eclectic club has put Count Leo
Tolstois 1.-THE Resurrection" under
the ban. 1t is the custom of the club
at each Of it's bi-monthly meetings,
held at Delmonico's, to discuss some
book of the hour, preferably a novel.
When Mrs. Dore Lyon, the president
announced Resurrection" for discus
sion, Mrs. Richard Stearns objected,
saying:
"Well, if all the ladies feel as I do
about that book, I move that they
bring in their opinions in scaled cnyel-
cpes.'
Mrs. Richard Henry Savage read an
essay arraigning Tolstoi for depicting
low life in an Objectionable way. She
also announced that the book could
have been written in half the space
and that Tolstois attack on the Rus
sian government was not fair.

EnElish Foreign Oalcers Take a

London, March 24.-The foreign office
takes q pessimistic view Of the imme-

the settlement of the Tien-tsin ques-
ton, and entertains CARVE fears that
the relations between Japan and Rus
STA may shortly reach the danger
point.
Judging from information received
In various official quarters in London,
Japan has confided to at least some of
the powers her determination to op-s
pose at all costs any secret agreements
made between Russia and China by
which the former could secure terri-
torial or other advantages contiguous
to Korea. The British government
has received no official confirmation
that the Japanese fleet is mobilizing,
but it would not be surprised to learn
that such We're the facts. A highly
placed British official said:
"All Japan wants is free hand
against Russia. This she will get SO
far as England and Germany are con-
cerned, and, presume, so far as the
United States is concerned; although I
do not imagine for one moment that
any of the powers mentioned would be
drawn into war between Japan and
Russia. If Japan sees nothing for it
but to fight she would have the moral
support of objections committed to
paper by at least two other powers
against secret treaties with China:
That is all, but Japan seems to con-
slider it sufficient to provide against
interference

New York. March PA good -look-.
ing woman about thirty years old was.
found dead yesterday morning in a
boarding house at 321 West 124tln
street. She was known at the board
ing house as Mrs. L. B. Robertson, the
wife Of q Chicago tailor. DR. Thomas
j. Carey, who viewed the body at the
Harlem morgue, said that he was al.
most positive the woman was Mrs. L.
r. Robinson, the daughter Of Thomas:
Lowry, the millionaire street railway
man of st. Paul and Minneapolis. DR..
Carney said that Mr.. Lowry's daugh-.
ter was in the Glen Springs sanitari-
UNI at Watkins Glen, New York, when,
he was on the house staff there about
three years ago. In the room where
the woman was found were two walls
containing the remains of some dark
liquid. The clearinghouse keeper said
the bottles had contained bromide of,
soda and blackberry brandy. The po-
lice are inclined to believe that she
committed suicide, and Coroner's Ply
sician C'Hanlon will perform an au-
topsy on the body to-day. When Dr..
Carney was examining the body he
said he got perceptible odor of laud-
anum from the woman's lips.

Responsible for the Wreck of the
Rio de JancirO.
San Francisco, March 24.-Captains
o. F. Butler and j. Stanbridge, United
States inspectors of vessels and boilers,
have handed down their decision for
the responsibility for the wreck of the
Rio de Janeiro Feb. % at the entrance
to the Golden Gate. Their report
places the blame for the wreck upon
the late Capt. Ward and Pilot Jordan.
The pilot being a state Office is not
under the jurisdiction of the United
States inspectors ard they have no
power to punish him. The inspectors
blame the chief engineer for inatten-
ton to his duties and revoke his Ii
cense as a chief engineer. He had ten
white men in his charge consisting of
three engineers, three water tenders,
three oilers and one storekeeper, and
the inspectors are of the opinion that
if Chief Engineer Herlihy had called
this force on deck to man the boats
many more lives would have been
saved.

Cold Brook, Mass, March 23.-Mrs.
Lizzie Naramore, while in a fit of in
sanity yesterday afternoon killed her
six children at her home, half mile
from this village and then tried to take
her own life. The children ranged
from ten years to babe Of ten months
old, and their lives were taken by the
mothed with an axe and a club. She
laid the blood drenched bodies on the
beds, two on one bed and the other
four on bed in another room and
then attempted to take her own life
by cutting her throat with q razor.
When discovered she was in the bed

cash in her throat and suffered the
loss Of much blood, it is believed she
will recover.
Frank Naramore, the husband and
father, left his home at the usual
hour yesterday morning to go to work
at saw mill and at that time his
wife did not attract his attention by
acting strangely. 1t is supposed the
crime was committed shortly after
noon, the discovery being made by
George Thrasher, an employee of
grocery store, who visited the Nara
more house at about 2:45 for the pur-
pose of delivering groceries that had
previously been ordered by Mrs. Nara

while Mrs. Naramore was lying on a
bed. He was surprised also at the alb
sence of the children, whom he was
accustomed to see playing about the
house. He returned to the village and
told Of What he had seen. A party was
made UP and hasty visit made to the
Naramore house. An entrance was eff
fected without delay and the mutilated
were found. Mrs. Naramore was alive
but very weak. She was removed to
the village hotel and at a late hour
the attending physicians were conf
dent that she would survive. Five Of
the children were killed by being
struck on the back of the head by the
back of an an axe, while the baby
was killed with club. Mrs. Naramore
says she fully expected the cash in her
throat would cause her death, and
that when her husband returned at
night he would find all of the bodies
in the two beds. She appeared ration
al last evening, but displayed no signs
Of sorrow for the deed she had COM
mitted, although she is unable to give
any reason for killing the children.

at present. Orders have been issued,
however, that no British officer shall

understand the situation, that his in
reference is uncalled for, and that the
Australian marines are just the men
needed. The Russians have ordered a
regiment to proceed from Port Ar

made by Gen. Bailloud, the French
commander, are regarded as complete
ly satisfactory and all danger of a col
