London. Dec. 22.---While the wife OF
a quarryman at Penrhyn, Wales, was
bathing her three-months-old babe she
was thunderstrack to hear the child
say plainly in Welsh:
Next year will be a terrible year,

The mother rushed in terror to the

heard to neighbor, who ran immedi.
ately back, picked up the infant and.
as she soothed and caressed it, coax
ingly asked ii it had told its mother
that next year would be terrible
year.
To her astonishment the child
looked up at her, said YES" and fell
back dead.
The story has been discussed far
and wide and the two women have
been cross-questioned without shaking
their story. At Penrhyn, where the
people are rather primitive and relig.
ious, there is much foreboding.

DEsPoNDENT OVER -Ack OF
MONEY AND NEAR APPROACH
OF CHRISTMAS.
GRIMES WERE EXTRAORDINARY
WIFE KILLED WHILE ASLEEP.
BUT TWO CHILDREN TRY
TO ESCAPE.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 22.-Roscoe
w. Derby, a machihist and about forty
years old, exterminated his family
early yesterday by shooting his wife
his three children and then himself.
The crime is believed to have been
due to dependency over the impov-
erished condition of the family purse
and the near approach of Christmas.
The crimes were extraordinary in
their thoroughness and there was evil
IDENTIFY no mishap in their enactment.
The wife was killed first. while sleep
ing at her husbands side in bed. two
of the children were killed as they
ran hither and t1ither through the
house in the darkness of the early
morning, endeayoring to escape
Their Merciiess Parent.
The third child was killed in its bed
after it's elder brother and sister had
been killed. The crime Is believed to
have been committed about 4 o'clock
yesterday morning. Mrs. Derby was
shot to death in bed. Two of the chill
dren probably had a struggle with the
infuriated parent, because they had
been awakened by the noise of the re-
volver being fred, and sought to es-
cape him. but without avail. The last
of the children to die was Thomas,
aged five. He had remained in bed.
probably still asleep. and also received
bullets in his head, dying instantly.
After the
Extraordinary Crimes
had been committed the perpetrator of
them went into the bedroom where his
wife had been killed, and, lying down
at her side, fired a bullet into his own
brain and died at his wife's side.
A number of pool room race checks
were found about the house. showing
that Derby had been trying his luck
on betting. The first knowledge of the
crime was communicated in letter
written by Derby Saturday to a friend
who lived not far away and which was
sent him by special delivery. Tho
letter was to the effect that when it
had been received the Derby family
would be dead. When the friend hur-
ried to the house yesterday morning
all that had been promised was seen
to have been fulfilled.

London. Dec. 22.-The morning pa
pers display increased alarm over the
aspect Of affairs in the Far East, rath.
or from the fear that some unforeseen
incident may precipitate a conflict
than from any belief that the re-
sources Of diplomacy have become ex-
hausted, the opinion being still almost
universal that both Russia and Japan
are anxious to avoid war.
y The Morning Post, which is inspired
in the Japanese interest, makes a sug-
gestion which may possess sisnifi-
cance-namely, that Japan should cut
the gordian knot by declaring a pro-
tectorate over Korea. The paper con-
tends that such a solution would COM
mend itself to all the powers with the
exception of Russia, and that it might
even be welcomed at st. Petersburg il
it is true that Russia does not desire
war.
The special cablegrams from the
Far East published in this mornings
newspapers throw no new light on the
situation, but all are agreed that Jap.
an has not sent an ultimatum to Rus
sia. -
Not Before Spring.
The correspondent of the Daily Tel
egFaph, who after a tour, of Manchuria.
has arrived at Nagasaki, expresses
the belief that there will be no war,
certainly not before spring, and that
Russia does not want a war before she
has consolidated her position in Man
churia. She is appreheHsive, however,
of the strength of the: Japanese 1eer
and over the attitude of China and
Great Britain.
Reuters Telegram company has
learned that considerable anxiety in
the best informed circles of London
regarding the possible outcome of the
situation in the Far East. Fears are.
it is said, expressed that the Russian
government may have overstepped the
bounds which would make continue
ton OF peaceful negotiations with
japan possible. 1t may be regarded as
quite certain, it is asserted, that Jap
an will not accept the principles OF the
last Russian note, which are alto
gether at variance with Japan's main
contantions., and that Japan's reply
must, necessarily be cast in this sense.
