M'cALLIEs' NARROW ESCAPE
Climbed Tree During Freshet-Res.
cued by IA Steamer.

ATLANTA, March 30 Assistant State
Geologist S. W. McCallie had narrow
escape last Tuesday night, when he was
surrounded by the raging waters of the
Chattahoochee and was rescued, per.
haps, from drowning only by a river
steamer which happened along
Mr.. McCallie had been searching for
marls and other geological formations
along the Chattahoochee just below Co.
Iumbus. Tuesday night he camped on
the banks of the Chattahoochee, about
10 miles from Eufaula. That was the
day of the storm, which was accompanied
by heavy rains throughout that section.
The Chattahoochee rose rapidly and
soon surrounded the spot on which he
was camped.
Seeing his peril, Mr. McCallie climbed
tall sycamore, and it seemed that the
water climbed after him. In a few
hours 1T rose more than 20 feet, and
there was no way for him to get to the
shore.
He remained in the tree all night, and
had about given up hope of being res.

End Mar at Hand.

WASHINGTON, March 80. - Another
important dispatGh was received at the
war department roday from General
Macarthur, at Manila, dated today.
1t did not refer to Agur2aldo or Fun-
ston, but, in the opinion of the war de-
partment officials, it went far to sup.
port the prediction made by General
Macarthur in yesterdays dispatch re-
lating to these two leaders, to the effect
that the end of the rebellion is near at
hand. This dispatch chronicles the
surrender of a considerable additional
number of rebels and military arms,
and the important feature of it is that
the surrender marks the complete
stamping out of the insurrection in the
island of Mindanoa, which is, next to
Luzon, the largest island in she Phil
ippine group.

INTEGRITY OF CHINA
WILL Be PRESERVED
Russia Gives Positive Assur-
ance to That Effect.
COUNT CASSINI EXPLAINS

Abnormal Conditions Having Arisen
In Manchurla, Normal Conditions
Can Best BE Restored by Means of q
Modus Vivendi.
WASHINGTON, March 30 1T is stated
on excellent Russian authority that the
Manchurian convention has been from
the first regarded as modus vivendi.
1t was this phase of the subject which
Count Casslni brought to the attention
of Secretary Hay and was said to have
been impressed on the minds Of the
British officials, as Lord Lansdowne
announced to the house of lords that
the convention, viewed as modus vi
vendi, might not present the objec-
tions heretofore held against it.
The Russian authorities at Washing
ton have all along construed the con-
vention as modus vivendi, although
Count Cassini has now made this rather
palmer to Secretary Hay. 1t is ex-
planned that the term modus viVendi as
applying TO the present convention
A1SdLlS UldG abnormal C0uulUlO0S nave
arisen in Manchuria and that normal
conditions can best be restored by means
of a modus vivendi.
Purpose of the ModusA
The chief purpose of the modus, it is
explained, would be to provide for the
evacuation of Manchuria by the Rus
sian troops, as their presence there is a
part of the abnormal condition brought
about by the disturbances. But, with
these forces withdrawn, Russia expects
that assurances will be given that quiet
will be maintained and that the former
normal condition will be in fact re-
stored
1t is said that the integrity of China
will be completely preserved, and that
nothing in the nature of Russian pro-
tectorate or suzerainty will exist.

WASHINGTON, March 29-The Kan.

to ask the president to appoint General
Funston a brigadier general in the reg.
ular army, as a reward for his daring
capture of Aguinaldo This afternoon
Senator Burton and Representatives
Long and Curtis, the only members of
the delegation in the city, will call upon
the president for that purpose. The
members of the Kansas delegation do
not consider that a brigadier general
ship would be too great a reward for
General Funston s exploit, and point to
General MacArthurs recommendation
that he be appointed to that grade as
complete demonstration of the service
he has rendered the government.
