HAD BEEN MISSING A WEEK
Dead Body Found in the River and It
Looks Like a Case of Foul
Murder.

Danville, Ills, Oct. 13.-The body of
E. f. Boudenot, of this city, who
mysteriously disappeared Il week ago
last Friday, was found floating in the
river Saturday short distance from
the city. There were no marks of
violence upon The body when found,
and at first friends We're of the belief
that Boudenot had committed suicide
during a fit of dependency; but the
autopsy sheds no light upon the sub
ject. The surgeons found that the
lungs were entirely devoid of water,
indicating that the man was dead be-
fore the body was put into the river.
While this condition of the lungs is
sufficient to convince Boudenots
friends that he was murdered and then
thrown into the river, the surgeons. it
is said, have further and more conclu-
sive proof of that fact which they will
not divulge before testifying at the cor
oner'S inquest.

EXPERIMENTS ON DEAD HEARTS
Some Curious Things Done by Russian
DOctor-Practical Value of
the Researches.

Vienna, Oct 13.-MedicaI men are
deeply interested in the discovery of
the Russian scientist, Dr. Kulebko.
who has succeeded in restoring
rhythmical beating of the heart in
dead animals. After he had made the
experiment a hundred times on rab-
bits, cats. dogs and other animals. he
tried the heart of a man who had died
of typhoid fever. The doctor has con-
structed an apparatus by means of
which he introduces a certain fluid
into the heart and registers its beat
ings. In quadrupeds the heart began
to beat after as much as 100 hours
after death; in birds. after three dayS
The apparatus proved too small for
the mans heart. so Dr. Kulebko tried
it upon the hearts of children taken
from their bodies two days after death.
He was about to give up the effort
to revive the first childs heart, when
he was called away because a visitor
wished to see him. When he returned
twenty minutes later he discovered
that the-heart pulsated regularly. 1t
was "alive" for about an hour then
ceased to beat. The doctors repeated
experiments have shown that it takes
longer to revive the human heart than
the hearts of animals.
Even with his crude instruments, he
has succeeded I'm reviving hearts two
days after death. " hen the instru-
ments are Improved the beatings GER
tainly will continue longer than en-
hour. At present the discovery Is
practically valuable only in proving be-
yond a doubt that attempts to revive
drowned or suffocated individuals have
not been carried on long enough, and
should not be desiSted from before
many hours have passed.

Trouble in the Balkan Regions

TURKEYS CONCESSION TO RUSSIA
Berlin Treaty May Have To BE Re-
yised-Porte Complains of Rus
sia's Ally, Bulgaria.

London, Oct. 13.-The Turkish and
Balkan situation continues to develop
in manner calculated to increase Eu-
ropean apprehension. 1t is reported
that Turkey las consented TO the free
passage of Russian warShips through
the DardanelleS. while maintaining a
prohibition against other powers. This.
if true, would be of the gravest i'm
port. and the expected denial was
promptly forthcoming from Turkish
sources. The denial. however. finds
less credence than the original report
The latter was probably wrong in go
ing so far as to say that the Turkish
concession to Russia, would be an
nounced in circular TO the powers.
The Troublesome Balkan states.
Such an announcement would be
tantamount to the abrogation of the
treaty of Berlin. and would create IL
serious crisis. which Great Britain es-
pecially would regard as of the gravest
concern. The whole naval situation In
the Mediterranean. aside from the dip
lomatic consequences, would be al
tered by such concession of the
porte. 1t is known. moreover. that
Turkey has permitted two Russian
warships to pass the Dardanelles with
in few days. 1t is still impossible
to obtain trustworthy information as
to what is really happening in the
Balkans. There are two rival revO-
lutiOnary factions at work in Mace
donia, and they fatty contradict each
others statements.
Russia's Ally Responsible.
The news of the urpising is certain
ly serious, and the action of Turkey
after a council of war at the Yildiz
palace on Thursday was on such Il
scale that it was evident that a big
campaign was under way. The porte
complains that Russia s ally. Bulgaria.
is chiefly responsible for fomenting the
trouble. 1t is learned that Russia and
France are ostentatiOusly urging the
porte to take the situation in hand
and suppress the insurrection. The
diplomatists who represent other pow
ers do not conceal their suspicious that
the peaceful protestations of the dual
alliance are insincere. and that Rus
sia's real desire is that the insurrection
shall continue in order to mask and
promote her ultimate designs.
Revision of the Berlin Convention.
A dispatch from Constantinople to
the Exchange Telegraph company says
a majority of the foreign ambassadors
and ministers held an unofficial meet
ing Saturday at which they expressed
it as their personal opinion that in
consequence of recent events the pow
ers must seriously consider the ques-
tiOn of the revision of the convention
in regard to the passage of the Dar-
danelles by foreign warships.
