WILL NOT LEAK OUT.
Russia's Reply to Proposals of Japan
 Kept Secret.

London, December 13.-Special dis patches from various correspondents in Japan received this morning, indicate that the nature of Russia's reply to the proposals of Japan will not be permitted to leak out in the latter country.
 The Daily Mails Tokio correspondent, however, believes the reply to be of satisfactory nature, and that an amicable settlement Of the existing difficulties IS in sight.
 The correspondent adds:
 ''As fas as l can ascertain, Russia has made certain concessions to Japan con eerning Manchuria, and Is willing to re- cognize Japanese supremacy In Corea. The relaxation of the tension is shown by the distinctly sanguine feeling on the stock markets Contrary to what might have been expected, the effect in business cir cles of the dissolution of the diet was favorable. During the week ended De- cember 8, 14000 tons of coal were sent from Japan to Port Arthur. Doubtless if the Japanese government had antici pated war, 1t would have found means to prevent its shipment

POLICEMEN HAVE
 DESPERATE FIGHT
THREE NEGROES ATTEMPT TO Es- CAPE FROM WILL ELLEDGE. ONE SWITCHED HIS PISTOL AND TRIED TO SHOOT POLICEMAN.

Policemen will Elledge and Dickerson had a desperate struggle with three ne- groes. yesterday in "Buzzards Roost," and the former had a narrow escape from being shot by one of them. As it was the policeman received a severe blow in the face and several on the body, but he laid the negroes out without using his pistol or club.
 The two policemen had six negroes un- der arrest, two of whom were women. Policeman Dickerson was in front with the women and one of the men, and El- ledge was in the rear with the other men. two of whom were Luke King and Frank Thomas. The three negroes made an attempt to get away from Ellledge, who had hold of two of them. Thomas reached for the policeman's pistol and succeeded in getting it out of his pocket. but Elledge hit him a heavy blow with his fist and the negro dropped the gun.
 The fight for the gun then commenced with the two negroes against the police man, while the latter's partner had four other negroes to look after. Several blows were passed, the policeman receiv- ing some, but the negroes getting the worst of it. Elledge knocked each of the negroes down with his fist and made an attempt to secure his pistol which was lying the ground, but the negroes prevented him. He likewise kept them from it. Finally Elledge called his part ner, who turned his negroes loose and came to the rescue.
 Strange to say the other three negroes stood still and waited until the trouble was over, and then quietly submitted again to being placed under arrest. The policeman recovered his pistol after the fight. Had it not been for his lucky blow he would have been in serious danger of being shot

FOR PROTECTION
 FROM LIVE WIRES
GONG AND INDICATOR PLACED IN ELECTRIC POWER HOUSE so CURRENTS CAN BE CUT OFF IN CASE OF LARGE FIRES.

Chief Mullin cf the fire department has Just completed an arrangement for the better protection of firemen and the pub lie in case of large fire.
 At the power house of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company regular gong and indicator have been in- stalled, similar to those In all the fire houses. This is connected with the regu- lar fire circuit and rings when a fire alarm is sent n.
 In case of big fire, where 1t might be necessary to cut wires, or where the wires are numerous the current will be cut off at the power house for this district, In this way, if any wires are cut and the ends are hanging loose, they will be harmless to the hremen and the public.
 In the past 1t has been customary to send out an electrician to every fire to cut the electrical wires from the building which is on fire, or any wires which might interfere with the fremen.
 The Birmingham Railway, Light & Power company has the city diviled into districts with different feed wires for each district. By this method 1t is possi- ble to cut the current off from any given district in case of fire.

cURlosITIEs OF LONDON.
A Bridge That Pays Taxes for lmaeln-
 ary Houses.

From Golden Penny.
 The first London bridge built of stone was completed In the time of King John, several wooden bridges having been pre- viously swept away or burnt The archi- tect was a priest of St Mary's Cole church, the chapel in which Thomas a. Beckett was baptized, and which stood un- til the great fire in Conyhoop Lane, on the north side of the Poultry. London ex- isted without aldermen untif 1242,s when some of It's twenty-six wards received their names from their first aldermen. The first lord mayor of London was elect ed in 1189. His name was Henry F'itzal- wyn, and he occupied the civic chair twenty-four years Sir Richard Whiting ton served the office of lord mayor three times, the last in 1419. He founded his college dedicated to the Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mary, in 1424, and his alms- house at Highgate near the spot where, as poor boy, he sat down to rest in leaving London, and heard Bow bells call ing him back to wealth and greatness. London bridge pays taxes for imaginary houses on it. At any rate, 1t still yields the rates and taxes of the houses which the old bridge supported. A correspond ent of the City Press explains that when, about the year 1f06, IL was declded to clear the houses from the bridge certain taxes and tithes survived. and have been paid ever since by the bridge house es- tates to the rectors of St. Magnus and St. Olave churches. Not less than $300,0 has been paid to these two parishes since the decrepit houses which formerly yielded them were pulled down. The taxes sur vived not only the houses, but the old bridge itself. And now there is move fa ctr iuI rhn efc of taxation. But it is certain that the stop page can only be effected by regular com mutation or some other equitable arrange ment sa
