He Jcked With Death.

Sigourney, Nov. 28.-George Kline.
a young farmer, is lying at the point
of death at his home four miles east of
Lancaster, from the effects of taking
too much poison. Several days ago
he purchased phial of strychnine to
kill rats around the barn, and in the
evening at the supper table he drew
the phial from his pocket and laugh
ingly remarked that he wondered how
much ii would take to kill a two-legged
rat. Not knowing the power Of the
drug he placed a pinch of it on his
tongue. The dose was not large
enough to produce instant death, but
hopes are entertained for his recovery.

PEACE ALL BUT ASSURED.
Russia and Japan Likely to Settle
Trouble.

St Petersburg, Nov. 28.-The pro-
longation of the Russo-Japanese nego-
tiations at Toxic Is due to the in
ability to reach an understanding re-
garding Corea.
Tentative terms on the subject Of
Manchuria have been settled. Japan
recognizes Russia's dominant inter-
ests and agrees not to place obstacles
in the way of the solution. Japan in
sists on the recognition of her inf1u-
ence in Corea and the opening Of
Yongampho and other ports to foreign
trade. Russia Is willing to concede
something, but she opposes the open
ng of Yongampho.
Russia is doing everything possible
10 bring the negotiations to a conclu-
sion. Russia believes it wise to press
matters while Japan is in pacific
mood. The chief fear expressed here
IS that the moral effect of the United
States continuous pressure in con-
aection with the open-door policy will
ead Japan to rashness." The atti-
Jude of the United States causes much
nervousness and some resentment
Last winter the United States was
aroused by the persistent declara-
ions in the British and Japanese
press that Russia would never permit
China to sign commercial treaty,
yet it was signed on the date fixed.
The sudden flash of anger in China
over the Russian reoccupation Of
Mukden, because it is the old burial
place of the ancestors of the present
dynasty, Is not considered grave, as
Chinas impotency is recognized. De-
spite the conviction here that the cri-
sis has passed for the winter, Russia
IS taking nothing for granted.

Panama, Nov. 28.-An American
travelling agent who has just arrived
here from Buena Ventura on the
steamer Manani, after stay of
twenty days in the department of
Cauca, reports that the feeling Of un.
rest in Cauca and Antioquia contin-
ues and that the secession movement
there has the support of many promi-
nent men, including a number of high
off ials.
An outbreak was recently started
in Cali, the business center of the
Cauca department, but the authori-
ties quickly suppressed it and arrested
the ringleaders, who suffered no harm,
probably because of the sympathies
of the officials with the movement.
The secession movement. this man
says, is serious, but it is impossible
to foretell what will be done or when
any step will be undertaken. He also
says there Is no evidence of any war
like or aggressive movements against
Panama. There Is plenty of threaten
ing talk, but no action.
The Americans at Ali have not
been molested. The authorities at
Buena Ventura, the traveller says,
were inclined to be annoying when
he left there, but nothing serious had
happened. The discomfort in Cauca
and Antioquia arises from the same
causes that led to- the movement for
independence on the, isthmus.

and the songs and dances of the SOU

selves. Like a flash of powder, this
was instantly transmitted all over the
house, and fights were the order OF
the proceedings. as long as there was a
head to punch or a face to break. Pts

yesterday afternoon, where a large

DIR. j. j. Curry.

A telegram announcing the sudden
death of DIR. ]. ]. Curry at Fort Bay
ard, New Mexico, on Jan. 20, has been
received in Savannah.
No particulars of his death have as
yet been received. DR.. Curry had been
confined in the Government Hospital
at that point for several months, he
being a sufferer from pulmonary affec-
tons. Some time ago his, condition be-
coming critical, his wife, who was then
in Savannah fastened to his bedside.
His health steadily improved, until a
short while ago, when it was thought
that he was on the road to recovery.
At that time Mrs. Curry returned to
Savannah to visit her sister, Mrs. c.
E. Gillette. A few days ago she receiv-
ed information that her husband had
suffered a relapse, and with her little
girl left Immediately for New Mexico.
On reaching Mobile she received intel
ligence of her husbands demise. Be
ing practically alone, and greatly
shocked by the sad intelligence, she
returned to Savannah.
DR.. Curry has many friends in Sa-
vannah, where he has at times been
stationed as a surgeon in the army.
He was a native of Massachusetts.
During the Spanish American war he
was stationed in Savannah, as army
hospital surgeon. He was a physician
of rare skill, having held a chair in
Harvard Medical College. At the close
of the war he was assigned to Ma
Mia, but afterwards returned to Sa-
vannah. He was later reassigned to
duty in the islands as a member of a
board of three who were appointed by
the government to study tropical dis
eases in the Philippines.
During his second visit to the islands
his health became impaired, and he
was obliged on that account to seek
more favorable climate. He was, at his
request, assigned to a post as surgeon
in the army at Fort Bayard. Here he
received the attention of DR.. Conegys,
now surgeon in charge of the post
with the rank of colonel, but his health
nnended none, and for several months
he has been confined at the post hos
pital. The direct result of his death
was hemorrhage.
The interment will be in New Mexi-
co. Mrs. Curry will remain for some
time as the guest of her sister As
Miss Hamilton she is pleasantly re-
membered here by many friends who
sympathize with her in her affiiction.

Independent Operators Presented
Their Evidence.

Independent Operators Presented
Their Evidence.
Philadelphia, Jan. 2S.-The independ-
ent operators of the Wyoming and
Lackawanna regions, in which Scranton
and WiIkesbarre are situated, occupied
the time of to-days session of the Coal
Strike Commission. The attorneys rep
resenting the thirty companies in these
two regions called about a dozen wit
nesses, who represented different con-
Germs.
In the examination of these witnesses
the lawyers tried to avoid as much as
possible the repetition of testimony al
ready presented by the larger compa-
MES. Therefore the examination to-
day was confind to the. particular COM
pany with which the witness was con-
nected. Nothing of Importance was
elected. There was unanimity of opin-
ion, however. that the lack of disci-
pline among the miners and the re-
striction of their earning capacity, tes-
titled to by witnesses for the large coal
companies, is more pronounced since
the union came into the anthracite field
than it was before the men were or
ganized.
