the Sin with all your heart, but pity

Do all Lyon can to rescue others from

Russsa's Reply HsHd Back For Czar's
 Approval
 PARIS, Feb. 1.-Another delay has occurred in framing and forwarding the Russian answer to the latest Japa- nese note, and this will result in fur- ther averting the culminatton of the crisis until the middle or the latter part of this week.
 Late official advices received here from St. Petersburg, although some what negative, gave definite details of the status of the note and the pro gramme 1t was intended to follow. Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minister, had expected that the ex- changes going on would have permit ted the final drafting of the answer so that 1t could have been presented to the czar for his approval, but these expectations were not realized, and, as a matter of fact, the answer has not yet been finally drafted It was there fore determined to defer it's submis- sion to the ezar until tomorrow or Wednesday. Efforts are still being made to SC shape this answer as to prevent a rupture.
 This new delay is interpreted as slightly improving the situation, as it indicates that Russia is making ex- treme efforts to bring the answer with in limits acceptable to Japan.

MISSION TO nENELEK.
United States Expedition to Abyssinis
 Successful.

MARSEILLES, France, Feb. 1.-The following details of the governmental mission to King Menelek of Abyssinia which was led by United States Con- sul Robert F. Skinner have been ob- tained. Mir. Skinner's party has ar rived here on board the steamer Vic toria.
 The American marines and bluejack- cts who accompanied the expedition were left at Alden and went on to join the American gunboat Machias.
 Consul Skinner and the other mem- bers of the party are in good health. and they speak enthusiastically of the reception accorded them by King Men elek. On the way to the coast the party saw one elephant and heard a number of lions, but experienced no exciting adventures. Tn the course of an inter view MT. Skinner said:
 President Roosevelt selected a most opportune time for establishing rela- lions with Ethiopia, as Americans heretofore have been too indifferent to the remarkable development which is now going on in Abyssinia- Our cotton cloths pass through many hands be- fore being sold at high prices in Abys- sinia, but now Americans have oppor- tunitiss to conduct their own trade. King MeneIek will send some of the products of his country to the St. Louis exposition as well as a commission composed of able men to show the Americans commercial opportunities in Abyssinia. The king is broad minded statesman who will welcome Ameri- cans.''
 During the visit of the Skinner party at the capital King Menelek received them surrounded by an imposing as- semblage of 2,0O0 funetionaries. The escort of American marines established a camp called Camp Roosevelt, which attracted great deal oe interest The king made personal inspection of the camp, which lasted for three hours, and after having witnessed the manela- vers of the marines he asked one of the men for his gun and loaded and fired it. This act on the part of the, king aroused much enthusiasm and impress ed the visiting Americans with the as- similative ability of tke Abyssinians.
 
 country is being rapidly modsrnined and that new roads, bridges, water supplies, telephones and telegraph lines are being constructed, He considers the Abyssinians to be the Japanese of Africa. He points out, however, that the postal and banking systems are defective and unsatisfactory. The money is on a silver basis. Consul Skinner believes that Americans will find a large field for activity in the gold, coal, petroleum and asphalt pos abilities of Abyssinia. According to news received by the foreign office, King Menelek is not like ly to leave Abyssinia because of the political situation there. There is al ready candidate for succession to the throne, and he fears that his departure would be & signal for civil warfare among the different chiefs It is there fore considered impossible for the king to visit the St. Louis exposition.

SUIT FOR $loo, 900.
}Papers Served on City by Deputy Sheriff Spiegel of New Haven.

One of the results of t1ie unfavora- $ble decision by the supreme court to the city in the case instituted against Fit some time ago by the Platt Bros & Co Is another suit for $1OO,OOO. Pa- pers in this suit were served upon the city Saturday afternoon by Deputy County Sheriff Spfegel of New Haven.
 The object of this suit is not to re- cover for damages, as alleged '1n the
 first case, the discharging of sewage into the Naugatuck river, and tnerepy
 injuring the plaintiffs property. It
 is brought to recover for damages
 done their property since the nrst oase e was instituted some years ago. inc
 plaintiffs allege that on account of the filthy condition of the river they are
 unable to keep in their employ men
 for any length of time, and that re
 duently they have been put to great
 inconvenience by reason Of empioyes
 being obliged to leave work on ac-
 count of illness arising out or tHe
 stench from the river. Some two or three years ago me
 city was enjoined from using tue
 river AS a means of sewage disposai :
 Failing to carry out the provisions ol
 the injunction, proceedings TOT COT tempt were inytituted Then the City
 asked for the appointment or con- mfttee to appraise damages to the plaintiffs. The defendants ,held tn1s could not be done as there was no m provisions made for such a course Tn the charter. The legislature was then appealed to and an amendment was made to the charter giving the power reauested. Thereupon the defendants claimed such power unconstltut1ona!s; U; Last week the supreme court dec1oeo against the city in motion Tor une appointment of a committee on ap- praisal, thus practically sustaining tne grounds maintained by the defend- gutG

ABOLISH ARMY CHIEF.
British Commission Would Make Rad
 ical ChangeS.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The report of the loyal commission, known as the Lord Esher commission, which was appoint ed for the purpose of advising the gov ernment concerning the administrative business of the war ofice, has been is- sued. 1t advises that the post of com mander in chief of the army be abolish ed With the approval of the king and acting upon the recommendations of the oommissioc, the government has decided to appoint an army council framed upon the admiralty model, to abolish the office of commander in chief Of the army and to create new post, that of inspector general, whose princi- pal duty will be to inspect and report ca the efficiency of the military forces.
 The commission suggests the ad- sdztion to the existing defense commit tee Of a permanent secretary holding oE1ce for i've years, two naval officers selected by the admiralty, two military officers chosen by the vieeroy Of India ana if possible other colonial repre- sentatiyes holding office for two years.
 With regard to the war office, the commission suggests that the secretary of state for war be placed in the same position as the first lord of the admi- Safty, directly responsible to the crown and 10 parliament. The constitution of the army council aims at decentraliza- ton, the individual members of the councn being intrusted with different branches, such as armament, supply, Gnanea. etc. In this connection the re- port remarks significantly;
 New measures demand new men. We therefore attach special impor- tanee to the appointment of military members not hitherto closely connect ad with existing methods and who therefore are not likely to be embaR- Yassed by the traditions of a system which is to be radically changed"
 The commission considers the aboli- ton of the post of commander in chief to be imperative, and it urges the di- vorce of the administrative from the executive department.
 The inspector general is to be ap- pointed for five years. His sole func- tion. aided by staff, is to report upon actual facts without expressing opin- ions on policies.
 It is understood that all the neces- ss%y changes will be carried out with Che least possible delay after obtain ing formal consent of parliament Where 1t is necessary the report is most practical and business-uke It says 1t is necessary to make & com plete breach with the past and en- aeayor to reconst1tute the war office with single eye to the effective train- ing and preparation of the military forces for waT," and again it says, ~The object should be to secure for the British empire with the least pos sible Arrangement of the existing ma chInery the immense advantages which a general staff conferred upon aeznanzf
