CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR WOOD
Friends Advise Him That His Nomination wi
Go Through.

~ y
Chicago, Dec. 26.-Walter We1lman
in a Washington special to 4he Record
Herald says:
Friends Of Brigadier General Leon
ard Wood have sent him what must
be a very welcome Christmas gift in
the form Of cablegram assuring him
that the senate committee ON military
affairs will report in his favor virtually
unanimously, and that he will be con-
firmed by the senate BY an overWhelm-
ing vote. 4 ..s HI
There is no reason to believe that
these friends Of General Wood are
mistaken. Since Secretary Root gave
his testimony before the committee
there has been little, if any, doubt as
to the outcome of the now famous
Investigation. Even the opponents OF
General Wood admit that the report
|of the committee will not only be III
favor Of confirmation, but that it will
he so sweeping as to leave small room
for cayil on the part Of his critics.
The truth is and il is only just to
General Wood that this fact be made
known. as generally as possible that
the so-called ease" against him has
almost completely fallen II pieces.

RUSSIA is CONSIDERING.
The Last Note Of Japan to to Russia Is No ,
Under Consideration.

St. Petersburg, Dec 25.-The Russian
government is still considering the reply
Of the japanese government to its note
which was sent in answer to Japan's
demands relating to the situation ii,
Far East A reconsideration of the
proposals made in the Russian note is
considered as a matter of course here.
Russia has never been disposed to take
any step which would lead to an abrupt
termination of the negotiations with
Japan
In answer to many inquiries made by
the Associated Press the Russian for
eign Office has always insisted that the
Russian proposals were SO liberal that
it would be scarcely probable to Con-
ceive any further concessions.
While the foreign Office is unwilling
to admit that Russia is prepared to Of
fer more than the concessions outlined
in the last note, it is considered posi-
bile that the government may suggest
changes by which the Russian require
ments may be met and satisfaction
given to Japan.
A ruInor has been circulating here
that the United States government is
still inclined to suggest reference of the
difficulties Between Russia and Japan to
The Hague arbitration tribunal but this
rtrnor is believed to be merely the echo
of former suggestion made in the
press of the United States.

Brother of the Late Mrs. Fair Has
Disappeared and HIS Relatives

He Was Located Out n Colorado
Where He Had Gone on Legal
Business.

New York, Dec. s6. William B
Smith, brother of the late Mrs. Charles
L. Fair; disappeared from home at New
Market, n. j., last Monday night and
failure to secure information about him
led relatives to call on the police for
aid. Smith received large sum oil
money in settlement of his claim OH the
Fair estate and changed his mode Of life
When he left he had a big sum VI
money. Relatives believe he met with
foul play.
Subsequently it was learned a tele-
gram; from Denver announced Smith
had arrived there and gone to Boulder
to consult his brother, Charles Smith
regarding an offer of settlement made
by the attorneys of Mrs. w. K Wander

INSPECTION Ease FAILED.
Suit to Throw Out Minnesota Inspection 1t Sd.
perior Not Properly Brought.

Superior, Wis, Dec. 2o-1'he fight OF
H. q. Fowler against the Minnesota
grain inspection commission in the
municipal court came to an end yes
terday in the defeat of Fowler.
Late yesterday afternoon Judge Haily
granted the motion 10 dismiss the case.
1t may be that costs amounting to $zoo
will be. charged against Fowler.
In rendering the decision on the mo-
ton to dismiss, Judge Haley said:
There appears to DE no foundation
Tor this case. The Superior board OF
trade has taken no action. There is no
violation OF the Wisconsin inspection
law of 1895. The district attorney was
not consulted when iilis action was
brought, and | shall see that in future
cases OF Importance of this kind the
district attorney is consulted before
any action is commenced. 1t would be
strainifg a point to find that there is
any technical violation 1t seems that
THE. board OF trade passed resolution
inviting the Minnesota inspectors to
come here (referring to the resolution
|ofs the board Of 1900, and it seems to
me that in case where the parties
are hereby ifiviolate this action cannot
Estand.'''
District Attorney Crownhart then
made a motion to tax the costs OF the
|twenty-nine action against Fowler. He
said that he had prosecuted the case in
good faith; that he had secured all the
evidence it was possible to secure, and
had offered!to pay for the attorney that
{ Fowler wished TO have assist or take
