.B[OODHOUNDS
FAILED AGAIN
Animals Were Put on Trail Of BuTglaIs
Who Forced Entrance to
Kennedy's Store.
COULDN'T TAKE UP The Scent.

The police were foiled in an effort
to put the workhouse bloodhounds on
the trail Of thieves who broke into
the hardware store Of NJ. A. Kennedy,
North Market street, Tuesday night.
The department was notified of the
robbery early Wednesday morning and
the hounds were brought at once from
the workhouse by Guard Wilhelm who
with Officer Piero took them to the
place where the theft had taken place.
The burglars entered by rear cellar
door and got inside by breaking a pan
ell in the door of the interior stairway.
The dogs were taken into the cellar
but refused to take up thc scent. They
were tried at the outside cellar door
with similar lack of success. Thinking
that the trail might be taken up out
side the hounds were led along Court
street but nothing was found.
Two revolvers and several pairs OF
gold buttons were all that were MISS
ed Wednesday. The thieves had OPEN
ed the cash register but 1t contained
nothing. They made their exit through
the rear door which they opened with
key found in their hunt for the key
to the cash register.

Roosevelt Youngsters are Max

Glorious Fourth:

Scripps McRae Telegram.
Oyster Bay, July 1. = The Roosevelt
youngsters are making great plans
for the Fourth. The evening of that
day, after their father returns from
Huntington, where he is to deliver
the Independence day oration, certain
mysterious boxes, that are now pack-
ed away in one Of the upper rooms of
the house at Sycamore hill, will be
opened and their contents brought out
on the lawn. Big ricketts, and Ro-
man candles, set pieces, torpedoes,
bombs, fiower-pots, niger chasers,
fire fountains and even cannon crack
ers in uncommon variety, are believed
to be concealed in those cases. An ex-
pert from New York will probably
come down to Oyster Bay to superin-
tend the celebration.

So tense is the excitement that no

occurred. The supposition is that a
careless miner allowed his lamp to
come in contact with firedamp.

Chicago, July /. - A Washington

Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor to this country, has left for home
and it is doubtful If he ever returns
in an official capacity. The state de-
partment through courtesy and to let
Count Cassini down easy" authorized
a denial Of reports that there had been
friction between the department and
the ambassador. The denials are to
be taken altogether in a Pickwickian
sense. The truth is that Count Cassini
has so strained the truth during his

ment that our officials are weary Of

Man Who Tried 1t We'd

Prompt Action.
POLICE LOCKED HIM UP
No Apparent Motive for Act
Of Allegheny Man Who
Tried to Kill
Himself.
POLICE LOCKED HIM UP

An attempt to end his life by swal-
lowing iodine was made by William
Neelan, 1910 Miller street, Allegheny,
Pa, at the corner of Tenth street and
Cleveland avenue about noon Wednes-
day. The prompt action of residents
in that vicinity and attending doctors
will probably save the mans life. The
poison which he took Is not severe
and it is thought that he will recover.
About 11:45 o'clock Neelan called at
the home of Benjamin F. Reynolds,
1876 South Cleveland avenue and in
response to Mrs. Reynolds inquiry as
to what he wanted stated that he was
suffering srom headache and desired
a cup of coffee. He was told that if
he waited a few minutes he would be
accommodated. Saying, "All right,
thanks" Neelan left the place. About
10 minutes later he was seen to cross
walking toward the Reynolds resi-
dence When he reached the middle
Of the street he staggered and walking
unsteadily Ito the curbstone, fell.
Mrs Laura wilkins and Miss Anna
Caldwell, who were sitting on the
porch of their residence nearby, saw
Neelan fall. They hastened to the
corner and seeing what had happened
summoned DR.. II. w. Faulk, who re-
sides across the street. He gave the
man a hypodermic injection and later
DIR. ]. Frank Gavin arrived. When
asked his name Neelan mumbled to the
doctors and Sergeant Wielandt of the
police, who was summoned, that it
could be found in a note book in his
pocket He then lapeed into uncon-
sciousness.
Shilling's ambulance was called
and Neelan taken to police headquar-
ters where he was placed on cot. DR..
e. d. Brant was then summoned The
mans motive for attempting his life
is unknown. He is about As years of
age and has a wife in Allegheny. She
will probably be notified of his ac-
tions Wednesday afternoon. Neelan
Is apparently a stranger in Canton.
He is fairly well dressed, tall and well
built.
The bottle from which the iodine
was taken is two ounce one. 1t was
found in Neelan's hand when he was
picked up. At police headquarters
Wednesday afternoon he was resting
easy. According to DR.. Faulk the TO-
dine must have been taken some time
before it affected its victim as the ef-
Iect of this poison is not immediate

His Disappointed Lover Wa n t.
$25o,ooo Damages Love
Letters Figure In Suit.

New York, July 1. - Action for
breach of promise Of marriage in
which damages are fixed at $3.50, 900
has been brought against w. Gould
Brokaw, the young 1multi-millionaire
New Yorker, noted yachtman, auto
mobilist and society man. Mrs. Kath-
crime Poillon, a strikingly pretty wo-
man, formerly Of Troy, but at present
living in fine style in this city, is the
plaintiff.
She bases her claims for vindication
and damages on $50 love letters bear
ing the signature of the millionaire
clubman who repented of his bargain,
but not until the trousseau had been
purchased and the wedding date fixed.
His only excuse, according to Mrs.
Poillon's version of the case was that
his father and sister. proud of their
social position, insisted he should
choose bride from the ranks of the
400.

TO THREATEN CHINA.

The Powers object to Her violation
 of the Protocol.
 PEKING, Jan. 1.-The ministers here of the foreign powers have telegraphed their governments the refusal of China to pay the international indemnity in gold notes and have discussed the mat. ter among themselves. It is proposed to inform the Chinese government that failure to fulfill the obligations provid- ed in the protocol will entail grave con sequences.
 The policy of the United States pre- sents an obstacle in the way of deliver ing a joint note to China on the matter, and the present difficulty is generally attributed to the encouragement given the Chinese by the American govern ment's indorsement of their arguments. The Chinese are content to await devel- opments, believing that the powers will find it so difficult to agree on 8 course of action that the present deadlock will be prolonged indefinitely. H
 The monument to Baron von Kettler, the German minister who was killed in Picking shortly. after the outbreak of the Boxer troubles, will be dedicated Jan. IS, Chinese and German officials participating in the ceremony. The monument is a white marble arch spanning the principal business street at the spot where Baron ,von Kettler was assassinated.

TO BE PAID.IN SILVER
Second Installment of Chinese
 Indemnity Due Today.
REASONS FOR THE CHANGED, BASIS.
United States Considers That China Is Taxed Greatly Beyond Her
 Ability and Accepts the
 Reduced Amount.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The state department has been officially advised through it's fiscal agents in China that the second installment of the Chinese indemnity fund, which falls due today. must be paid in silver or rather on a silver basis. This result has been an- ticipated, and the department more than q month ago was advised unof1- cially of what would happen. The first installment of the indemnity, which was due July 1 last, was likewise paid on silver basis, the nations receiving the money reserving the right to claim the difference between the silver and gold bases. Therefore the depart ment will haveN placed to it's credit $496,O for it has without hesitation decided to accept the payment on the basis proposed.
 Some idea of the extra charge that would be imposed on China did she yield to the almost. general demand of the powers for payment of these in- demnities on gold basis may be gath cred from the fact that whereas the Chinese tael, which was the ,basis of the calculation of the indebtedness, was worth "A cents at the time the agree ment was signed in Peking it Is now worth only 61 cents. The impression prevails here among persons who have taken part in these settlements that the indemnities demanded by the powers are far beyond China's ability. She may for year or two borrow enough money from various internal sources to pay the installments falling due every siI months, but in a short time the powers will be compelled at the risk of losing everything to come to a read justment of the whole indebtedness ei- ther by submitting the case to arbitra- tion at The Hague, which China ar dently desires, or by mutual agree ment between the creditor nations.
