Tokyo, Dec. 22-Japan's reply to
Russia was handed to Baron de Rosen
at conference between the Russian

Japan's reply is in no way in the ma

Russia to reconsider certain essential
points in her reply to Japan.
Baron de Rosen is now sufficiently
recovered to resume the negotiations.
Sixty military engineers have been
dispatched to Korea to replace the civil
telegraph operators attached to the Jap
anese telegraph lines on the peninsula.
1t is officially asserted that the step
taken has no military significance.

him and almost fatal. He was coming
from lis home Monday morning to the
o'Neal coal mine, one mile west Of VIII

ride was an experience to him and he
was considerably interested in the rum
ming of the train. But he failed for
some reason to notice that the train
stopped at the way stations before the
passengers alighted, and, when the train
approached o'Neil, the brakeman, as is
the custom, called out the name of the
station. The brakeman had no sooner
said ''ONeil" than young Bland rushed
out of the car to the platform between
two coaches and jumped off point
about 300 yards west of the station.
The train was running at the rate of
fifteen miles an hour ut least He fell

tLey notified the brakeman. The train
came to hurried stop and the trainmen
and several passengers ran back to him
to find him unconscious. He was picked
up. carried to the baggage car and
brought to the Harrison county hospital
here on the same train, the morning
accommodation east, from which he
jumped. Soon after he was picked up
he was restored to consciousness and
talked freely about the incident, relat-
ing in full his intentions in jumping.
He appeared to think that that was the
way all people got of trains. An ex-
animation showed that his left leg was
broken just above the ankle. His face
and head were also frightfully cut. He
is son of Mrs. Nancy Bland and is le
