FANTASTIC STORIES
ABOUT THE KAISER
One Says the Crown Prince VIII BE
Appointed Regent when His Royal
Father Goes south.

BERLIN. Dec. 3.-Fantastic stories re-
garding Emperor Williams proposed jour
ney to the south continue to appear per-
sistent one being that the Crown Prince
Frederick William will be appointed re-
gent. Another is that Count Won Mirbach
OF the Empress's household, has engaged
a villa for the Emperor at Meran. Austrian
Tyrol. The Foreign Office, in tossing these
aside as nonsense, added that the Emperor
would certainly not choose a resort for
consumptives If he went away for rest
and pleasure. The only basis for gossip
about the Emperor's health is the fact
that he has not appeared publicly since
his throat operation. The reason. as ex-
planned by Baron Sternberg, the German
ambassador TO the United States, when
here is that the Emperor is prolonging his
period of retirement because he rather
likes an excuse to enjoy domestic life.
DIR. Studt the Prussian minister of in
struction and medical affairs. in talking of
the Emperor, remarked that the Empress
sat sewing in the Emperor's company for
several hours each day. They and their
children, who are at home, walk together
frequently. The Emperor, however, gives
up most of his mornings to the disposal of
state business

TAKAHIRA PLEASED WITH
REPORTS OF EASTERN PEACE.
Minister Reasserts Japan's Singleness
OF Purpose and Expresses Graft
tude for American sympathy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Speaking Of the
statement emanating from Paris that Ja-
pan and Russia were on the verge OF
settlement OF the questions at issue between
them. Mr.. Takahira. the Japanese minis
ter, said that he believed this gratifying
news to be true. although he had not been
officially advised for several days Of the
progress OF the negotiations. His govern
mept had always entertained the hope that
such solution was possible. and, while the
progress of the negotiations has been slow.
and while also there has been at times
reason to believe that Japans sincerity of
motive was not fully appreciated, the result
shows that II is now well understood that
throughout the whole controversy. even
when popular agitation was highest, her
government has been ..ctuated by but one
purpose, the preservation by honorable
means of peace and order In the far East.
AS one of the interesting incidents occur
ring at various stages OF the crisis, and as
an indication OF personal views which he
felt certain expressed the consensus of in
telligent opinion in Japan, Mr.. Takahira
cited the reply he had made to an offer
from Mrs. Anita Newcomb MCGEE OF the
services OF herself and others associated
with her as army nurses in the unfortunate
contingency of war. The letters. he said,
explained themselves. but Mr. Takahira
thought he might properly adj that among
the evidences Of American good will so
abundantly shown to his country none
would awaken deeper gratitude or more
sincere admiration In Japan than the noble
offer of this woman.

fare of their country.

of the people of country should not be in
saying our army and our navy are the best
in the world. but in having the best gov

UNKNOWN NEGRO's CRIME.
Attempt Crimfnally to Assault
Woman of Clark County.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Dec. 3.-An
unknown negro attempted a criminal as
sault on Mrs. Minnie Friend, a we'll
known widow residing on farm four
miles from here. just before noon to-day.
The negro slipped unseen into the house
and, springing upon Mrs. Friend from the
rear clutched her by the throat with both
hands. Mrs. Friend is a strong, muscular
woman, and terrific struggle followed.
Finding her strength falling, she screamed
for help. George w. Felker, sr., father-in-
law of Prosecutor Mayfield, who lives just
across the road, heard her cries and hur-
ried to the scene. He reached the house
just In time to see the negro retreating
through a field. An alarm was given and
in short time. a posse of farmers was
on his track. Sheriff Rave and Chief Of
Police Clegg, of this city, were notified
and officers are now assisting in the search.
If caught by the farmers, all of whom are
neighbOrs of the woman, he probably will
be lynched, as the feeling is high.
