Victoria, B.

 Attacks against the delay in negotia- tions have lately concentrated in a charge that Marquir Ito is a Russophile, and after the publication of a strong memorial to the marquis by the anti Russian union.s whose delegations were refused an audience by Marquis Ito, the Nippon. an anti-Russan paper. on Mo- vember 10, suggests the assassination of Marquis Ito The issue was prohibited been widely circulated.
 Viceroy Yuan Sh Kai has strongly memorialized the Chinese government. to decide upon q resolute policy against Russia, claiming that Japan and Ameri- ca, being inclined to resist Russian az gression in Manchuria, would support China.
 The reconstruction of the cabinet has resulted in a marked stiffening against Russian demands.
 Weekly newspapers. printed in English, have been established by Russians at Port Arthur to advocate an Anglo Rus sian alliance.

MUNICH OPENED TO
 WOMEN STUDENTS
Present Admissions Limited to
 Gymnasium Graduates. I
CUSTOM IS NOT UNUSUAL
Under Concessions Temporarily Made a Number of Young Women from America Have Already Matric-
 ulated for the Term.

Washington. November 29.-James Wor- man, consul general al Munich, Germany, has reported to the state department that the University of Munich has opened It's doors to women students "IIitherto wo- men were permitted to matriculate in the German universities" he says adding in several of them women have been permit ted to attend lectures and have been al- lowed to take their degrees on examina- ton, by and with the consent of the fac- ulties concerned" Continuing, the con- sul general says:
 For the present the University of Mu- mich limits it's admission of women by regular matriculation to such as possess the abituaria of the German gymnasium, and they are admitted to this German high school on the same conditions as it's male students Lady students of foreign birth, graduates of colleges, but who do not possess the German gymnasial abitu- aria. are admitted only as hearers, and with the consent of the faculty they may pursue a course of study and finally come up for a degree. but they have not yet been conceded the same rights that are accorded to that class of German female 9Lhbthl7 hhNiiE tht SS ihiistSifii fibithniitt.
 The consul general says the rector Of the university has promised to second the petition of the United States consul gem eral to the Bavarian ministry that Amer lcan lady students possessing diplomas from reputable American colleges shall be conceded the same advantages that have been conceded by German universi- ties to male graduates of reputable Amer ican colleges and universities.

New Republic is Confident of
 Ample Protection
COLOMBIA IS NOT FEARED
Prospect of War in Not Considered on the isthmus - Signing of the Canal Treaty is the Next
 Political Move.

Colon, November 29-The next event of political importance to the new republic of Panama will be the ratification of the ca nal treaty and it's relation 10 Washington. which is looked forward to with much in- terest as conclusively settling Panama } status. The ratification of the treaty ap- pears to be considered by the government as the final step so far as Panama is con cerned, absolutely binding the new repub. lie to the protection of the United States After this has been effected, 1t is thought on the isthmus that there will remain nothing for Panama to do. except to pro ceed under the security of the protection of the friendship of the United States in the development of her internal affairs The possibility of a war with or armed trouble from Colombia, was not taken into serious consideration anywhere on the isthmus and Is never heard discussed of ficially or otherwise
 The government officials seem to think that in the event of difficult situation arising. they will have nothing to do but to turn to the United States for wise counsel and strength, and if help is need ed by Panama, the United states will sup ply it.
 The provisions of the canal treaty pro- viding that the yearly payments of $25O,OOO shall not begin until nine years shall have elapsed, and the clause declaring Colon and Panama free ports. have aroused some fears regarding the repub- lie ability to raise sufficient revenue to meet it's expenses. Making Colon and Panama free ports will deprive the re- public each year of about $300, 900 in silver, or $l2OOOO in gold-this amount being three fifths of the total revenue of the republic outside of the railroad and canal pay. ments. Hence, the government is par ticularly anxious that SS.000,o00 of the Sl0,- 00O000 to be paid on account of the canal shall be so invested as to bear interest and be safeguarded from possible future assault and reckless expenditure by less serupulous officials who may succeed those now holding office.

PROF. RAMSAY CAN'T EXPLAIN.
But Reiterates That He Saw Radum
 Change to Helium.

London, November 29.-Although Prof. Ramsay, who delivered a remarkable lec- ture on radium before the London Instl- tuition was not averse to drawing an analogy between the alchemists of old and the chemists of the present day, as an illustration, he does not allow the proba- bility that the alchemists had any scien- tific provision of the latent marvel of elemental transformation
 He said in an interview that his dis covery of the tranmutation of radum into helum has no bearing in an exact sense with their attempted transmutation of lead into gold He pointed out that lead and gold belong to entirely different groups in the periodical table and there is nothing to show resemblance between them.
 All that is definitely known about aIche- mists indicated that the alchemy mixture was a fraud and error. Prof. Ramsay admitted ndulgently, however, that as the alehemists had so many theories they might perhaps now and then have hit up- on a sound one, accidentally.
 He frankly avowed his inability to ex- plain the change of radium to helium It could only be said that ne had seen it happen. IL was useless to discuss the sub ject because it could only be settled by re- search.
 Asked whether the accepted elements were probably compounds of two or three actual elements or even if all the elemnts were merely the varied forms of one ela- ment he replied:
 "Perhaps. where the whole tendency among the higher elements is to break away into simpler elements; put the words clement and compound are matters of definition. and little is yet known"
 He proposed to reverse the radium ex- pertinent by building up simpler elements to form a higher one.

TWO MASKED MEN
 HOLD UP A MINER
GEORGE WOODS OF PRATT CITY IS ASSAULTED AND RELIEVED OF HIS TWO WEEKS PAY WHILE RETURNING HOME

Pratt City, November (special.) )- Last night at o'clock between WyIam and Ensley, two masked men held up George Woods, a well known miner of this place. and robbed him of his two weeks pay that he had just drawn.
 Mir Woods was returning home from his work. As he was passing through d skirt of woods midway between Wylam and Ensey, two masked men came out from the shadows of the woods and or dered him to throw up his hands. He re- fused to do so. at the same time offering some resistance. The robbers however caught hold of him and treated him rath- CT roughly. He was struck twice on the head with a sharp instrument. The men then proceeded to go through his pock- cts. The only thing of value that they got, however. was his earnings for the past two weeks.
 Mir Woods was not rendered entirely unconscious by the blows received and was able to reach his home without as- sistance. No clues have been discovered as to the identity of the rnhhers

COTTON IN GINS.
All Farmers Are Prosperous in the
 Tennessee Valley.

Huntsville November 29-(Special)- About all of the cotton grown in the Ten nessee valley this season has been picked and is in the hands of the ginners. Labor has been plentiful and the weather has been favorable for the movement of the crop. The yield of lint cotton is fifteen per cent lower per acre than last year but the crop is slightly larger by an in- creased acreage.
 Very few of the planters are holding their cotton. All of them are showing q disposition to sell around eleven cents. The farmers are more cheerful than they have been in many years because the good price of cotton has set them on their feet and they will begin the new year with no debts. They have plenty of stock and enough food to keep them so they will not be compelled to draw on their bank accounts to keep things going

BANDIT VANDIEN
 HAS STRONG MIND
STUDENTS OF cRlMlNOLOGY MAKE INTERESTING REPORT ON HEADS OF THREE DESPER- ATE YOUNG MURDERERS.

When the famous bandits and murder CTS Harry Vandien, Peter Nelcermeyer and Emil Roeske were arrested in Indiana last Friday after a bloody fight lasting several hours students of criminology availed themselves of the opportunity to study the character of the bandits. The opinion of an expert given at the invita- ton of officers of the Bertillon system, was as follows
 "To describe these remarkable crim- inals as degenerates Is synthetic and conveys no idea of their mental and physical entities. Vandien has con tradictory mixture of good and bad ele- ments. He has cranial developments which indicate mental power above the average, great strength of courage and dauntless spirit. His pereeptive, con structive and reflective groups indicate dscernment, ability to plan and power of deduction. which, combined with moral character, would have made him a leader in any profession, in mechanics or in any vocation requiring intellect. His motive power has been mscredited into the execution of crime.
 'Neidermeyer is a criminal because of general deficiency in intellect While capable of most desperate crimes under the influence of Vandien, the lesser crim- inal lacks initiative, and would become any kind of character suggested to him by his association and example With out the leadership of Vandien, or army trained homicides, these young bandits would have been petty 'hold-up' men.
 Mary is of Neidermeyers type, and RoesKi is a half-witted tool and dupe of the others.
 With all his characteristics of ele- mentary savagery, Vandien exhibited tenderness and affection towards his mother when he gently stroked back the hair from the head of NedermG--r at police headquarters to show the gunshot wound in his fellow criminals forehead, and procure for him surgical attention. His big hairy hand itself had several shots in it. and the wound in Vandien's leg bled freely meanwhile, but he said nothing of his own pains. This self-sac- rifce accentuated the good in his pervert- ed nature"
 These men murdered nine men an6 committed numerous robberies.
