TROUBLE
Caused by Church Party
in Philippines.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 31.-Accord-
ing to advices just received by the
bureau of insular affairs of the war
department, the new Aglipaya in Ca
vite province, p. l., has made consid-
cradle headway. The development Of
this new church party has, it is said,
brought with it certain bitterness Of
feeling between the adherents and
those of the Roman Catholic faith.
This feeling has shown itself in the
management Of municipal affairs
when the majority of the municipal
council, actuated by religious differ
ences has sought to impose restric'
tions upon the church of opposite
faith.
The municipal president Of Bacoor
has been suspended for having arrest
ed number of natives who were at
tending a meeting conducted by some
natives of the Presbyterian faith.

NAhluSH ~ HleAut On AFAhl IN New IOrk,
Slips Away.
New York, Sept. 16.-one Of the SEN
sational escapes in New York criminal
history was effected to-day by William
]. Fields, alias Gillespie, on trial on a
charge of forgery in the criminal
courts building.
For two days a jury had been listen
ing for evidence against Fields, who
was arrested on June "a on compliant
of the paying teller OF Mount Norris
bank, who claimed that he had obtained
$415 by means of a forged check. After
the jury had been charged, Fields was
conducted to the head Of a staircase
leading to the detention pen. His con-
ductor called to the officer of the pen
that the man had been remanded and
returned to the court ROOM The Off
cia1 summoned failed to hear the call
and Fields Immediately disappeared.
When his absence was discovered the
building was searched to no avail.
Meanwhile the jury came in and an
nounced that a verdict had been reach

SOONER THAN EXPECTED.
War May End with an Alliance Be
tween Russian and Japan.

London. Sept. 1.-THE Daily Tele-
graphs St.. Petersburg correspondent
declares that a Russian statesman
whose name, if revealed. would ring his
utteranee with lightning rapidity over
the globe, asserted Friday that it was
his impression that the war might end
sooner than most people imagine, not
through mediation, but thruogh mutual
recognition of the ruinous nature of
the conflict, which would lead to nego-
tiations that would result in Russo
Japanese alliance. He contended, the
correspondent says, that although Rus
sia in the end could exhaust and crush
Japan, vet Japan could hold out long
enough to place an intolerable and use-
less strain upon Russia. Russia, there
fore, was confronted with the alterna-
tive either of Japan's ruin purchased
by ruinous sacrifices, or of treaty Of
cordial friendship, followed in the full
ness Of time by that offensive and de-
fensive alliance which for years con-
istituted the ideal of the japanese gov
ernment.

Drank Part of a Pint of CarBOHc
Acid.

Acid.
Mrs Mary Gedney. of 147 State
street, lies in what is believed to be a
dying condition at the New Haven hos
pital. as a result Of having swallowed
nearly pint of carbolic acid in an at
tempt to commit suicide shortly after
eight o'clock last evening.
Mrs. Gedney and another young lady
named Miss Mamie Connors. of 1Ss
State street, went out walking early
last evening.
Shortly after their return the girl
was found on the bed with the almost
empty bottle in her hand. AS they en-
tered the room she tried to hide the
bottle under the pillow. She then got
up from the bed and staggering into.
another room fell to the floor.
The girl was taken to the New Haven
hospital where it was found that she
was in critical condition and small
hopes of saving her life are entertained.
Her face and throat are terribly burn
ed as a result of the acid.
It Is not known what was the cause
Of the rash deed. Her brother stated
that she was apparently cheerful last
evening but others who know her said
that she has been worrying over a sis
ter who is i'll at the Grace hospital and
also from the fact that her husband,
who is railroad brakeman. has been
away from home for some time.
Mrs. Gedney has only been married
a few months and is twenty-four years
old. Her husband is Charles E. Ged-
ney.
