DIPLOMACY OF CASSINI
ALARMS ST.PETERSBURG
Ambassadors Ado Over KiShinev
Allenated America.

LONDON, July THE st. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Standard" tele-
graphs that official circles there are ner-
vous over the situation in the Far East,
especially Count Cassini's diplomatic
methods. The Russian ambassador At
Washington is accused of making too
much of the petition regarding the Kish-
inev massacre and too little of the
American policy in the Far East.
The Russian government. continues the
correspondent, would have looked with
equanimity on the presentation of the
Kishinev petition, which binds nobody.
IL In return an understanding could have
been reached respecting Russia's claims
in Manchuria. 1t is now feared that
Russia will be obliged to forego Count
Lamsdorff's plans concerning Manchuria
and China. which depended on separat-
ing the United States from Japan and
Great Britain.

ENGLISH RECTOR A
DARING STEEPLEJACK
Climbs to the Top of the Highest
Church Structure.

LONDON. July THE Rev. Wesley
Bothamley, rector of st. Leonards
Church, Exeter. can boast of being the
only steeplejack clergyman in England.
and probably in the world
A few days ago he climbed the steeple
of his church, a very high one, and says
he would repeat the daring feat If
necessary.
The ascent was necessary, in his opin-
ion, and II was not undertaken out Of
brayado. A London steepleJack had been
engaged 20 make an inspection Of the
lightning conductor. On his return TO
earth he reported that the steeple was
in a dangerous condition at the top
and would require repairs at a cost OF
about $500.
This sum being more than the rector
wanted to spend. be made up his mind
to inspect the steeple for himself. 1t g
one OF the tallest steeples In Exeter. and
tho professional climber advised Mr..
Bothamley 10 take no such risks. But
the latter. pulling cap tightly over his
head, at once started to make the as
cent.
II was his first climb of the sort. but
he accomplished IL with a stout nerve
and no little physical agility. The re-
suit OF his inspection OF the steeple top
was that he disagreed with the conclu-
sions OF the steeplejack, a fact which
was duly mentioned when he was safe
on Mother Earth once more.
