STILL MORE CRANKs
Two Bobbed Up in the Vicinity of
the White House Yes
terday.

New York, Nov. 27.-Two more
men have been incarcerated on the
charge of insanity because they wrote
silly letters to President Roosevelt
Charles Threshon complained that an
Influential person in governm ntal
circles in Washington has an cleo
trical battery which is attached to the
soles Of Thresholds feet and so mill
tates against his chances of seeing
the president.
He has been arrested twice before,
once on Jan. 6, 1895, when he sent a
letter to President Cleveland, from
Baltimore, containing illusions to the
electric current which prevented him
from reaching the president, and
again in 1901, when he sent similar
letter to President Mckinley.
Kalnan Fodessy is a matchmaker
who came to this country from Buda-
pest two years ago. For some time
he has been writing letters to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, chiefly about police
officials Of Buffalo, and when arrested
he told a rambling, disconnected
story. At the time of his arrest he
had a ten-page typewriter letter ad-
dressed to the president in his pos
session.
Both the men were sent to Belle
Vile hospital yesterday.

ST. Petersburg, Nov. 2T.-The pro-
longation of the Russo-Japanese nego-
tiations at Toxic, which have been de-
layed by Viceroy AleXeieff's return to
ST. Petersburg. is due to the inability
to reach an understanding regarding
Korea, Tentative terms on the sub
ject of Manchuria have been settled.
Japan recognizes Russia's dominant
interests and agrees not to place OBJ
stacles in the way of the solution of
the problem. While still maintaining
the ultimate recognition of her treaty

Chinese sovereignty, japan is content

Russia is doing everything possible
to bring the negotiations to conclu-
sion. Viceroy Alexeieff has the cars
orders to this effect. Russia believes
it wise to press matters while Japan
is in q pacific mood, which is attrib-

fear expressed here is that the moral
effect Of the United States continuous
pressure in connection with the open

no good reason exists why the United
States should become involved in q
quarrel at the instigation Of Russia s

winter and spring the United States

claration in the British and Japanese
Iress that Russia would never permit
China to sign q commercial treaty,
