Finally, when it was thought the

found herself in the presence of two
trained nurses, who are keeping up
the deception by not allowing her to
move a muscle. Although she has the
appetite and strength of a normal
woman, she lies perfectly passive and
submits cheerfully TO the diet of clear
broth.
The physicians say they will allow
her to leave the infirmatory in about
three weeks.

greater strength, that you may have

RUSSIANS SAY CHINESE HAVE
ALREADY ATTACKED THEM

st. Petersburg. May 14.-Disquieting
news regarding the attitude of the
Chinese is contained in dispatches from
officers at the front issued by the gem
eral staff tonight.
In addition to giving further details
of the cutting off Of Port Arthur and
confirming the report of the Japanese
advance upon Liao-Yang, these dis
patches state specifically that the Chi
nese have commenced hostilities
againss the Russians.
Maj. Gen. Karkevitch reports that
the Chinese attacked his outposts on
the Feng Wang Cheng road leading to
Samaitsi.
Gen. Plug telegraphs that according
to reports of patrols and missionaries
the Chinese at Tapadziatsi, 100 miles
northwest of Mukden and just outside
the Russian sphere of influence, are

preparing to rise against the Russians
and Christians generally.
The hostile attitude of the Chinese is
attributed to the action of the Japa-
nese in spreading reports of their sue
cesses and magnifying their victories
at Port Arthur and on the Yalu. This
propaganda has been active recently
in all parts of China.
SO far as the railway is concerned,
while it is admitted here that a Chi
nese outbreak will be a new source. Of
danger, preparations have been per-
fected by Gen. Kuropatkin to insure
the protection of this artery, which is
vital to the supply of his army.
1t is matter of satisfaction to the
authorities that the Koreans are prov
ing more friendly than the Chinese, as
is shown by the reports of the destruc-
tion by them of the telegraph wires
used by the Japanese in Northern Ko-
req.

Nevertheless, he expressed his belief

not only to abide by the result, what
ever, it might be, but to work for the

Within Party Lines.
Washington, May 14.-William Ran
dolph Hearst will support the nominee
of the st. Louis Democratic Conven-
tion, whoever he may be.
He to-day authorized the Washing
ton Post to make this statement un-
equivocally. He ridiculed a story sent
from Albany that he and Mr.. Bryan,
Arthur Brisbane, Weaver of Iowa and
others were planning a huge bolt and
the formation of new party He said
he had been making his fight for the
nomination in the name of progressive
Democracy, but his fight had been
within party lines, and, would continue
TO be so. Whatever the result, he in
tended personally and through his
newspapers to support the regular
ticket.
II am for the ST. Louis nominee" ="
said Mr.. Hearst to the Post. Having
uttered that plain spoken sentence, he
added, with a smile:
Il should, of course, like any other
man, be honored and gratified should
the Democrats see fit to nominate me.

The interview was prompted by the
Albany dispatch which said that Mr..

an and a few others were preparing to
bolt.
'I have not been able" he said, ito
deny all the foolish things that have
been said about me. 1 have not even

indulged in hearty laugh at the new
adjective he had coined.

An inquiry was made about the sig

Hearst delegations over the country.

ties has contesting delegations" said
Mr.. Hearst. Contests do not mean
that bolting will follow. Some of my
