"Snitev Tower.

Every one is familiar, with various
spite fences or houses, but it is safe to
say that quite the most costly and
elaborate enterprise of this kind in the
world is the famous Wainhouse tower.
in Yorkshire. England. Its builder.
John Edward Wainhouse, was the
owner Of q dyeworks in that valley.
Next to his estate lay that Of an Eng
lish lord. The two quarreled, and
Wainhouse built the tower so that he
could always overlook his neighbours
grounds, although they lay much high
err than his own. The tower is nearly
300 feet high and cost $4,000 to build.

THE REAL QUESTION.
No Great Differences Between Japan
and Russia After All.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 19-The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent, on high
authority, is able to give the following
as the present status of the negotia-
lions between Russia and Japan:
Russia recognizes Japan's predomi-
nance in Korea and Japan recognizes
Russia's special position in Manchu-
ria. There are two main questions
still at issue-the Russian demand for
a neutral zone on the Korean side of
the Yalu river, which Japan me-: with
a proposal for the similar neutral strip
on the Manchurian side. Japan also
asks for certain guarantees covering
Manchuria which Russia thus far has
declined to grant. 1t is pointed out,
however, that the assurances given a
few days ago by Russia regarding
open ports in Manchuria and respect
for treaty rights is concession on
this point.

DASHED FOR LIBERTY
T o Soldier Prisoners Attempt to
Escape From Fort Wayne.
ONE SHOT DOWN WHILE FLEEING
Other Captured After Being Shot At
Private Who Stood Guard Expert.
enced a Lively Time-Both Were
Awaiting Trial.

Fort Wayne, Mich, Jan. 19.-Gen-
eral Prisoner Warren, better known as
Kansas" was shot in the back and
leg Monday afternoon while making O.
dash for Canada and liberty. That
General Prisoner Richardson did not
receive like dose was due to the fact
that he had a better start and was
shot at after Warren was wounded.
The two men were under the charge
of Private Stanford Of Company H,
who is about 20 years Of age. The
prisoners were working on the road
that continues to the river from Artil-
lery avenue and with their guard were
beside the old canteen and across from
the hospital when, according to pre-
arranged signal, they made dash.
Warren, big, overgrown Texas man,
started for the river. In order to con-
fuse the guard Richardson started to-
ward River street.
Warren had reached a point about
fifty feet away when he was called
upon to halt three times by Guard
Standard. This but hurried him along
and Stanford, raising his 'Krag" to an
aim, pulled the trigger. The cartridges
used by guards for prisoners are diff
ferent from the usual ammunition in
that they carry two bullets instead or
one and their effectiveness Is greatly
lessened. Both balls struck the flying
prisoner, however, and he fell to the
ground.
Failed to Hit Him.
Stanford then turned his attention
to Richardson and fired twice at him.
His aim was either poor or else the
charge would not carry far enough TO
be effective, and Stanford's shots
proved ineffective. Richardson had
no sooner reached the gate when Ser
geant Webster, who was walking on
the other side of River street hearing
the shots, started for the post to in
vestigate. He caught Richardson as
he was turning out at the gate and Sc
cured him after brief struggle.
Warren was taken to the post hos
pital, where DR.. Holmes extracted the
two bullets, while Richardson was
taken to the guardhouse. Warrens
wounds are painful but not necessarily
dangerous. Private Stanford was also
ordered to the guardhouse until the
facts in the case can be investigated
by the officers.
Warren deserted from the regiment
shortly after it arrived at Fort Wayne
but gave himself up at Toledo about
two weeks ago and was awaiting trial.
Richardson escaped from Fort Wayne
several months ago while a prisoner
in charge of Sentry Bradley. He was
recaptured in northern Michigan and
was awaiting trial.
Detroit, Mich. Jan. 20.-Commodore

Echo of Delaware's Sensational Affair
Last June-Synod of Baltimore Or

Public Hearing.

Dover, DEL, Jan. 20.-The Newcastle
Presbytery decided Tuesday to try the
Rev. r. A. Elwood of Wilmington, Del,
on charges in connection with the
preaching of a sermon by him last
June, entitled Should the murderer of
Helen Bishop be lynched." The trial
will take place in the Presbyterian
church at Newcastle on Feb. 2. Former
Acknowledgement Robert G.. White, a

instructions given the presbytery by

terry.
The decision to give Rev. Mr.. FL
wood an ecclesiastical trial was not
decided upon until after bitter de-
bate Of several hours Mr.. Elwood de-
manded a public trial and that it be
held in his own church at Wilmington.
The selection of Newcastle is in the
nature of compromise, as it is only
few miles from Wilmington. The
question of trying him in public, or
behind closed doors, has not yet been
determined.
The complaint against Mr.. Elwood
is that he delivered sermon at Will
mington which, it is alleged, so worked
up the people that the next night a
mob gathered, stormed the workhouse,
took out George White, the colored
man who confessed to assaulting and
killing Helen Bishop, and burned him
at the stake

cupied as a hospital, is Indignantly de-

designed to injure the Japanese in the
eyes of the world. An official investi-
cation shows that the japanese force
engaged at Cheng Jul had established a
bandage station in the rear of their
firing line, and it was used exclusively
for the purpose of caring for the
wounded. The Japanese Red Cross is
