today he was reported in a very crit
zeal condition. He was able TO be
about his duties as usual yesterday
and was apparently in his usual
health, but just as he had completed
his. days work and was about to go
home the attack came on. He was
able to drive to his home in Edgewood
park without assistance, but once
there he had to be assisted to bed
The fact that he is past 60 years of
age will count against him in his bat

FROM A VICIOUS DOG

The 7-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Irwin, 10 Fourth avenue,
was attacked by vicious dog while
playing, about o'clock this morning,
in the yard of neighbor.
The animal knocked him down and
bit him about the face; the teeth in
several instances passing through the
cheeks and tearing the nose to the
bone. When help was attracted by
the lads screams he was bleeding
from dozen wounds.
He was carried home and DR.. j. +.
Myers was summoned and dressed his
injuries. There is no evidence that
the dog was rabid and while some of
the injuries will probably leave per
manent sears they are not considered
serious.

London, March >. RumOrs are
again prevalent of approaching trou-
BILE in China. An anti-foreign move

declared to be inevitable. The Stand

of the legations the treacherous
friendliness that preceded the Indian
mutiny. Tung and Tuan are declared
to be the villains of the piece, and the
idea once again will be the powerleSS-

The northern hordes will come down
under the two eXiled leaders. and nom
inally overpower Picking, and at the
same time swell their following with
all the forces in the capital. and begin
grand march of determination
against everything foreign. This time,
however, the Yangtse region and ev-
cry port must rise simultaneously, and
for this purpose all the Yangtse de-
lenses are being brought to the highest
state of effectiveness.
Russia is very much alive to the sit

at st. Petersburg from the secret ennis
