RUSSIA SCORES AGAIN

In Securing the Dismissal of Nc
Leayy Brown as Director of KO-
rean Customs.
LONDON, March 24.-Phe dismissal
of Mr.. McLeavy Brown from the post
of director-general of Korean customs
is regarded in London as another
score for Russia. In 1895 and again
in 1893 Russian pressure was exerted to
procure his removal.
In the latter case he was only re-
instated after a British squadron had
moved to Chemulpo.
AS recently as a few months ago Rus
STA strongly opposed an attempt by
Mr.. Brown to raise a loan for the Ko-
rean government to purchase shares in
the railway from Seoul to Fu-San. AS
a result of her opposition. the negotia-
lion for the loan failed.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Daily Mail asserts that M. Pavloff,
Russian minister at Seoul, has pro-
tested against Korea taking foreigners
into the government service with the
exception of Russians, and demanded
the appointment of the latter, but Ko-
rea seemed determined, with the help
of the powers, to defend her integrity.

NEW YORK, March A-In honor of
Theodore Roosevelt, Vice President of
Tue United States, Captain William L.
Flanagan gave a dinner last night at
the Hotel Marie Antoinette, at which
the toes of nimble dancers twinkling
from whirling ~draperies aided gayety
to the pleasure of the affair. There was
a stage built at one end of the apart
ment in which the table was spread,
and while the guests were slipping the
venerable cognac of 1903 the jokes
warranted of recent vintage were dis
pensed by celebrities of the vaudeville
stage and pretty young ome sang to
the drumming of the guitar.
This occasion was a reunion of the
staff which served Colonel Roosevelt
when he was Governor of New York
State. Mrs. Flanagan received the
guests as they arrived, and the Captain
conducted them to the banquet room.
T~hirty-five persons were hidden to the
feast. They did not mobilize rapidly,
so it was a quarter to nine O'Clock
before they were seated. The dinner
was served in an arbor of palms and
tropical plants, which had been con-
structed in the oak room.
Colored lights gave the dropping
fronds a prismatic glow and shone
upon two thousand American Beauty
roses which decked the table. The
clustering flowers, the sparkle of cut
glass and the splendor of the FURNISH
ed silver at first dazzled men who had
in mind the rations of the days in
camp and the rude surroundings of sol
der life. The curiosity of the guests
was piqued by the sight of the red
plush curtain which half concealed an
i~mprovised stage. There vas a platoon
OF walters, who moved in and out of
the tropical glade.
At the right hand of the Captain
was the Vice President, and not far
away was District Attorney Eugene A.
Philbin. A%djutant General Hoffman
was at the left of the host. Two or
chestras played while the dinner was
served, relieving each other with the
successive courses. Here il the menu.

MIDDLEBURY, VT, March 24.-Nel-
son Jones, about twenty-five years of
age, of Shoreham, was lodged in Jail
this morning on a warrant charging
him with the murder of Miss Ida Foss-
burg, at Shoreham, on March 18th, by
poisoning.
In the Jail tonight Jones absolutely
refused to answer any questions regard
ing his arrest on suspicion of having
caused the death of the young woman
who was engaged to be married to AL
dace Vondette, who was recently charg-
ed with having caused her death, and
who, after being held a few days, was
released, the authorities being satisfied
that he was not implicated in the af-
fair.
Nelson Jones is the son of Minor
Jones, for whom Miss Fossburg work
ed as a domestic at the time of her
death. When an investigation of the
death was being made, Jones inform
ed the authorities that Miss Fossburg
complained of illness and on Tuesday
evening, March 18th, she asked him to
)go to the Shoreham postofice, a dis
lance of about three miles, and get a
letter. He at first informed that he
did not wish to go that distance just
fn coo If fhorn uroc ~ noo;1 hut oh n
continued to urge him and insisted
there was a letter at the postoffice for
her. She told him that if he did not
go she would go after it herself. Jones
said that to satisfy Miss Fossburg he
drove to the postofice and found a
white envelope addressed to the young
woman. He returned with the letter
and delivered it to Miss Fossburg. He
went to the barn, and he says that ten
minutes later when he returned to the
house with his father they heard a cry
from the young Woman's room. Upon
opening the door they found her appar-
emily dead. When a physician arriv-
ed an hour or so later he said the wo-
man had apparently died very sudden
ly. Near her body was the envelope
which Jones said he took from the
postoffice. 1t had been opened and
there was a scrap of paper in the wash
bowl. "a few grains of white powder
adhered to the paper and a glass con-
tanning a white sediment and a small
amount of water stood on the wash
stand. The authorities believe that the
death Of Miss Fossburg was caused by
poison received in a letter through the
mails.

Texas, SO miles apart. Prof. Kenner
left Houston for Beaumont on the Z

table gentlemen of this city, who were
to see that the professor carried out
his part of the programme. The
Southwestern Telephone Company dur
ing the day placed two telephones in
a room at the fremont Hotel, and at
$50 O'Clock six prominent physicians
and about 20 spectators assembled at

citizens of Beaumont. At 5:57 Prof.
kenner took the phone again and
asked that the two subjects come TO
the phone. Only a word or two was
spoken by the subjects after taking
the phone, and at 500 they both
dropped simultaneously like logs. be-
ing caught as they fell. They were
placed on cots and the physicians gath
cred around to make an examination.

AT $50 Prof. Keener left Beaumont
on the Southern Pacific Sunset Limited
for Houston to wake the subjects up.
In the meantime physicians and 9TH
ers tried in every manner to wake
the subjects up. standing them on their
heads, placing ammonia under the nos
trils, and ever going so far as to stick
a hat pin through the lip of one of
them, but without effect. At S:45 Prof.
Kenner stepped off the Sunset Limit
ed in the Union depot, Houston, and
took a cab for the fremont Hotel, ar
irving there a few minutes later.
Stepping in the room where the sub
jects were laid out, he asked: Are
you all satisfied and when assured
that his experiment had been a com
plete success, snapped his fingers and
said: Come, boys. wake up" and
with a start both subjects opened their
eyes and gazed at the crowd surround
ing them. Both expressed themselves
as feeling no Ill effects from their I'M
natural sleep.

TOLEDO, Ohio, March 24.-Mrs. u.
Brunschneider, residing near the city Inn
it's, occupies a ward at St. VincentS hos
pital and is in a serious condition as a
result of horrible injuries self-infiicted.
About 5 O'Clock last evening, armed with
an ordinary pair of scissors, she cut off
all the toes of her left foot, both her
ears close to the head and about an inch
of her nose. She then cut out a portion
of her right cheek, inflicted five gashes
in the left cheek, and finally began on
her arms. Beginning at her left forearm,
she removed every vestige of skin, lay
ing bare the muscles. She also lacerated
the right arm in a horrible manner. Moth
ing was known of the affair until her
husband, who was absent during the
night, returned home this morning and
found her in bed in a semi-unconscious
condition. A surgeon was called at once
and she was taken to ST. V~incent's hos
pital. Her recovery is doubtful. The wo-
man is about fifty years of age. 1t is
thought that she was temporarily insane
on account of domestic troubles.

of New York.
NEW YORK, March 24-The
Cunard liner Etruria, which was due
here from Liverpool on Saturday night,
was not reported from Fire Island I'M
til this afternoon. The mist which
prevailed when the Etruria passed IN
at Sandy Hook at a little after 5 O'Clock
soon turned into a dense fog, and the
steamship was unable to make quaran-
tine in time to be passed by the health
officers of the port. Friends of the
who expected the vessel to
dock tonight upon reaching the pier
were informed that the liner will not
dock until tomorrow.
The Anchor liner Britannia, from
Mediterranean ports, which passed in
Sandy Hook just ahead of the Etruria
made quarantine all right, but her
commander, as the fog thickened,
thought it better to remain there for
the night.
The French liner La G~ascogne, which
was due here to-day from Havre. had
not been reported tonight. She is
probably fog bound off Sandy Hook.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 24.-The
political situation is so serious that
Emperor Nicholas had a meeting OF the
ministers yesterday to consider the
state of public affairs. Threatening
letters have been received by Lieut..
Gen. Kouropatkine, minister of war.
M. N. v. Mouravieff, minister of JUS
tice, and M. ~Sipiagnine, minister of the
interior. Renewed demonstrations on
a great scale are expected tomorrow.
1t is reported that Prince Viazem-
the Gar to consider the grievances of
the students.
Lagowski, the provincial official, who
last Friday attempted to assassinate
Privy Councillor Pobedonostzeff, pro-
curator general of the holy synod, is a
disciple of Count Leo Tolstoi, and he
has asserted that the act was one OF
revenge for the communication OF
TOlstoi.
According to a special dispatch 20 the
Rossya the governor generd1 of Kief,
Gen. Dragomiroff, has published a riot
ordinance similar to that published by
Gen. Klejgels in st. Petersburg, and
declaring that the military will be
called out until the ordinance is strict
ly obeyed.
The day passed quietly in st. Peters
burg. Some forty thousand persons
promenaded about noon along the
Nevskoi Prospekt, particularly in front
of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan.
The crowd dwindled to normal proper
lions when it became apparent that
nothing would happen. The promen-
aders were for the greater part curios-
lty seekers.
Some reports say hat an accom-
plice named Ivanoff was arrested with
Ladowski.

The Friends of Senator Platt
KnuckIe Down TO the Governor.
NEW YORK, March 24.-Leading
Republican politicians of this city and
State met in Senator Platt's rooms at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel this afternoon
and were in conference for several
hours. AS a result of the conference, it
vas decided to attempt no police leg
islation this session.
The conference adjourned subject to
the call of Senator Plat whenever, in
his judgment, police legislation seems
necessary. All who were talked with
say the conference was harmonious.
Long before the time for which the
conference was called, the corridors of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel were filled with
State leaders and members of the leg
islature. Everyone of the leaders sum-
moned to the conference attended.
There was a large sprinkling of local
politicians and many up-the-State poll
iticians, who were attracted to the
place of the conference but who were
not summoned as participants.
Though no one would say it directly,
all who attended the conference admit
ted that it had come to the views of
Governor Odell. and it was considered
that he had virtually triuzaphed and
that the organization was with him.
This evening Senator Plat gave out
the following statement:
"The general opinion Of those at the
conference was hat the police condi-
tions existing in New York ought to
have the attention of the Legislature,
but that it would be useless to pass
any bill, as the Governor has declared
that he would veto it. Some of those
present favored a police law, and 9TH
ers favored a metropolitan district, but
it was considered by all that nothing
should be done at present.
Il regret the situation. as l believe
that some action by the Legislature
is important for the city and the Re
publican party and | think that such
will be the general public opinion 0
But if nothing is to be done and If the
present bad conditions are to be sub
mitted to, the Legislature is not re-
sponsible for that.
IF it turns out in the next municipal,
election that the Judgment which /
have formed upon this subject has been
wrong, then l shall be glad that Tam
many has been left in control of the
police"

on the company's refusal to reinstate
several discharged men. voted to extend
the time for the company to answer
until Wednesday next. The demand
that the men be reinstated was again
made the issue, and the sentiment
among the men seems to be that a

should the company refuse to accede
to the demands.

Denied the story.

NEW YORK. March Ex-senator Han
ma arrived in this city from Washington
tonight and went to the Waldorf-Astor-
ia. He was accompanied by his daugh-
ter, Ruth. He said he would remain in
New York for two or three days on hur-
ried private business. Asked as TO the
truth of a story current afoat that he
and j. Pierpont Morgan had come TO
New York to settle the details of a trans
action by which the Morgan interests
were to take over the lake and ore inter-
ests of NJ. A. Hanna & Co. Of Cleveland,
the Senator said there was no truth in
the story. He said the fact that he and
Mr.. Morgan were ON the same train was
only a coincidence. Senator Hanna also
denied that he had come here for the
purpose of taking a hand in the reported
differences between Senator Platt and
Governor Odell.
