RUSSIA WANTS PEACE.
Explanation of the Delay in Transmit
ting Reply to Japan.

PARIS, January 29-It is understood that
the conferences between Foreign Minister
Lamsdorf and M. Kurino. the Japanese
minister at st. Petersburg, have permitted
the latter to advise his government concern
ing the position Russia is likely to take in
her Forthcoming answer, but the officials
here say this was merely an intermediary
step toward adjusting the remaining differ
ences, as the answer is subject to change
until officially communicated.
1t Is further said that Russia will not an
swer until she feels reasonably assured that
her answer will not have the effect OF pre-
cpitating hostilities.
The officials here are gratified at an ap-
parently authoritative statement that
Japan does not intend to fortify the straits
of Korea. They say it will remove one OF
the main obstacles, as the most recent ne
gotiations showed that Russia was unal-
terably opposed to the creation of any con-
ditiou in Korea which would lead to closing
that out from the sea of Japan.
A strong intimatfon has been made that
the maritime nations of Europe and the
limited States would have taken up the
question unless this declaration had been
made.
MANILA, January 29.-The prohibition of

DEMAND FOR CLEAN MONEY.
Doctors Believe That Old Bills Trans
NIT Disease.

DR.. Thomas Darlington, president of the
New York board of health, appeared before
the House committee on banking and cur
rency today and heartily Endorsed pending
legislation for "clean money DR.. OAR
lington told the committee he had begun an
investigation which was now being con-
Quoted by DR.. Park of the New York bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratory for the purpose of
ascertaning scientifically what is now fully
believed by the medical profession, that old
bills are mediums of transmitting disease
germs
He based this latter conclusion on the
advances which have been made in recent
years in surgery from the practice of keep
ing the hands and instruments absolutely
clean. The doctor believed provision for
keeping the paper money of the country as
new and clean as possible by constant re-
newal. would be the first step in the right
direction.
Should the experiments in the New York
laboratory develop the fact that the money
in use in that city is loaded with disease
germs. DR.. Darlington announced his inten-
ton Of formulating some plan for its daily
or weekly sterilization. He believes that
good will result to the health of the city by
getting the money from the great arteries of
trade. such as the street car companies and
the great retail stores and putting it
through a germ-killing process. In this
plan IL is contemplated to treat not only the
paper money, but also the metal coins

MAY FIGHT OVER BONDS.
New Complication Threatened in Ship
building Trust Reorganization.

AIOSI AA~oA SoAAANSeAoAA'
NEW YORK, January 20.-According to
statements of opposing counsel in the
United States Shipbuilding litigation. the
expiration of the agreement today under
which shipbuilding bonds were deposited
with the Sheldon syndicate to effect re-
organization, instead of influencing set
Element of the litigation, may be the signal
for a struggle for the possession of the
bonds deposited with the syndicate.
William Nelson Cromwell, counsel for the
syndicate. declared that the understanding
that the bonds deposited with the syndicate
are now subject to withdrawal is errone-
Gus, and the expiration of the Sheldon
syndicate has no relation to the plan of re-
organization, which remains unaffected by
that event, and under which plan the bonds
will remain deposited.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the bond
holders protective committee. denied this,
and said he had no doubt of the right of
every member of the syndicate to the i'm
mediate return Of his bonds. He under
stood that some members of the syndicate
had not consented that their bonds remain
on deposit with the committee. and these,
he thought, would have no difficulty in en-
forcing the return of their bonds, ''for rea-
sons he said. with which Mr. Cromwell
is very familiar. and which it is unneces-
sary at this time to state publicly One
conclusive reason why the Sheldon commit
tee will not be able to hold the bonds
against the protest of the syndicate mem
bers, he said, was that the Sheldon plan
had been abandoned. If any new plan was
presented radically different from that the
bondholders would of course have the
right to withdraw their bonds.

BLYDENBuRGH ON THE STAND.
Eldora, Iowa, Man Accused Of Poison
ing His Wife.

ELDORA, Iowa, January 29.-Eben s. Bly,
denbursh took the stand in his own behalf
today, answering the charges that he had
poisoned his third wife by administering
arsenic in a meal cooked by himself. Bly,
denburgh told a Straightforward story cor
roborating the testimony of his daughter.
Irene, who swore that she cooked the meal.
which the state says contained arsenic ad-
ministered by the accused man.
81 did not urge my wife to go to church
on the day of her DEATH" said Blydenburgh
in a calm voice. "On the contrary, she first
suggested it, and l gave my consent.
Shortly after she left took bath and
then lay down on the lounge to rest. My
daughter Irene cooked the Sunday meal.
The boy went to Sunday school little af-
ter O'Clock. returning little after 1. He
then went to church, and returned again
about the same time that Mrs. Blyden-
burgh came home We all sat down to the
meal together. Shortly afterward Mrs.
Blydenburgh complained of nauseating
pains and vomted. 1 supposed 1t was
merely her old complaint. and did not treat
the matter seriously until 1 saw that she
was in dangerous condition"
Blydenburgh denied that he had ever pur-
chased rat poison for any other purpose
than for that which the poison is generally
used. He told of his wifes alleged com
plant and stated that the family physician
pronounced it uremia. He denied that they
had ever had trouble other than family
guarrels of little consequence.

CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE SHOT.
Disaster in the Harwick Mine Account
ed For.

PITTSi sURG. Pa. January 29.-Mine In
spector Cunningham is satisfied he has dis
covered the cause of the explosion at the
Harwick mine and the room in which 1t
occurred.
1t had been the theory of the inspectors
that the gas was lighted by defective
shot, one that was not properly tamped and
which threw a bit of burning paper from
the hole drilled in the coal. This was con-
firmed in room in the south left entry
where a hole was found in the coal show
ing that the tamping had been blown out
and that the shot was ineffective. Near
this point was found the lamp of Fire Boss
]. A. Gordon. who was also the head
shooter in the mine.
The mine had given up ia dead at noon.
Preparations are already making for an
early resumption of work at the mine. The
company expects to start again in two
weeks or as soon as the bodies have all
been removed the mine inspected and re-
pairs made.

HE TRADE OUTLOOK
ENCOURAGING FROM WEST AND
SOUTHWEST.
IRON and Steel Continue in Good De-
mand in Spite Of Pessimis-
tic Predictions.

NEW YORK. January 29.-Special tele-
grams regarding the state of trade from
correspondents of the International Mercan-
tile Agency throughout the United States
are summarized as follows:
In the central Mississippi valley and
throughout the southwest business in most
staple lines promises to exceed that of the
opening months of 1903. General wholesale
orders for spring trade this month In that
region are said to be heavier than in any
preceding January. More than $4,000 wage
earners have gone back to work in Penn
sylvania and the lake region within fort
night. Extraordinarily easy money mar
kets are not likely to continue much longer.
Early ratification of the Panama treaty
would mean probable payments to Panama
and the canal company shareholders. AS II
stands government depository banks might
have to furnish S25,OOO,O00 of the funds
needed. Overhanging new capital issues Will
also tend to advance rates. -,
Officials interviewed insist that steel rail
prices will not be cut and point to the In
terest of Pennsylvania railroad, through its
steel mills. to keep the price up and to the
prospect of light rails being So higher. ;,
steel the demand continues to slowly in
crease, notably for structural steel and
base and forge iron.
Edward Atkinson, speaking of the OUTLOOK
said:
1.-The worlds production of iron and steel In
1900 was 100000 tons; in 1903 it was As,
OOO, 600 tons and in 1910 1t must be 6O,OOO.O0
tons. All other countries have reached
their maximum product so that the in
crease must come from the United States.
Prices have been stronger for cattle, rub
Der, coffee, cotton goods, raw cotton, wheat
and corn. Not the least encouraging fea-
ture of the business week has been the re-
newed confidence in prosperous season
due to an improvement in collections. st.
Paul Minneapolis and Duluth unite in
reporting as large a volume of orders as at
the like period year ago. The situation
Is even more favorable than that in the Ohio
river valley and through the South Atlantic
and gulf states.
