MURDER BY HYPNoTISM.
Paris Is Interested I'm "A Strange
Charge of Crime.

Paris, Jan. 3.-Paris is deeply inter-
ested in the alleged hynotic murder of
a woman named Chappiuis, 81 years
old, whose surviving relatives include
Leon Crosse, an operatic conductor;
Lieut.. Giradot of the army, and Nj.
Tourain, a bank official.
The neighbors of the Chappiuis wom-
an were a family named Martin. con-
sisting of husband and wife. who are
spiritualists. 1t is alleged that Nine.
Martin obtained a commanding influ-
ence over Mime. Chappiuis, with the
result that Nine. Chappiuis made a
will in her favor, cutting off her nat
ural heirs. Nine. Chappiuis died and
was buried. On complaint of her rel
atives the body was exhumed, but no
trace of poison was found in the stom-
ach.
Nine. Martin has been arrested, and
witnesses have testified to her alleged
control over the dead woman, but IL is
not believed that she will be prosecut-
ed. unless facts are developed showing
that she physically brought about the
death of Nine. Chappiuis.

Washington, Jan. S.-Cablegrans re-
ceived to-day from Toxic show the sit
uation in the Far East to be unchanged,
and at a late hour tonight it was
believed at the Japanese legation that
nothing had occurred to dispel the
gloomy view taken there of the pros
poets for peace.
The fact that Mr.. Takahira, the
Japanese minister, regards the situa-
ton as extremely critical, does not
prevent him from hoping that a way
may yet be found by which the 1ues-
tions between Russia and Japan may
be settled without recourse to arms.
The Japanese government, it is said
is not anxious for war, and through
out the negotiations has endeavored to
repress all war talk. Japan, it is
added. will wait patiently the Rus
sian reply and will not delay after
receiving the note in announcing her
future course. 1t is said that sub
stantial concessions must be forth
coming from Russia in Corea that will
offset the jurisdiction which Russia
claims in Manchuria, if war is to be
averted.
The Russian government has been
urged to reply promptly.

JAPAN IS Determined.
VIII Act Quickly When Time Is
Ripe for Action.

London, Jan. 3.--"Don't look for a
declaration of war" says the Daily
Telegraph's Toxic correspondent in
dispatch which apparently throws con-
siderable light on the plans of the
Japanese government. Continuing, the
correspondent says:
1.-THE Japanese are quite determined,
and several days ago took steps to
secure certain of their Korean inter-
ests. Russia will not be allowed to
occupy Korean ports, and certainly
neither Mokpho or Masampho, both of
the ports being protected against seiz-
ure.
Japan means business without
waiting for the convenience of others.
If Russia feels aggrieved, a fortnight
should show the extent to which she
will venture. The interest should be-
gin to center nearer Seoul than To-
kio within ten days, but the naval
overture may retard the peace.
ut is thought, despite her buster,
that Russia will take no immediate
action to prevent Japan doing what
she thinks proper to safeguard her
interests in Korea"
The foregoing probably refers to the
dispatch of the Japanese squadron to
Masamoho.
According to the Standards Toxic
correspondent, Japan, at the end of
December, notified the Powers and the
United States of the actual position
of the negotiations, al the same time
intimating that the continued occupa-
ton of Manchuria might compel Japan
to take decisive steps for the pro-
lection of her vital interests in Korea.
The Standards Tien Tsin correspond
ent says that as result of Japans
inquiries as to China's attitude in the
event of war it is stated the throne
has issued secret orders to Chinese
troops to assist the Japanese
The Che Foo correspondent of the
Morning Post cables as follows:
Under the impression that the laying
of the foundations of the Standard Oil
Company's new premises here was a
bluff designed to cover the erection of
a fort, Russia sent a cruiser to inves-
tigate the matter. The officers land
ed and took measurements, after which
they proceeded to Port Arthur. In
we'll informed circles it is alleged that
Russia covets Che Foo.
The Daily Telegraphs Toxic CORE
ss.ondent says:
Russia has sent a further reply to
Japan. 1 understand it is of a non
committal character, making merely
for delav."

ANSWER SOON TO BE GIVEN.
within a Few Days Russia Will Re-
ply to Japan.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 3.-Diplomatic
circles confidently expect that the
Russian answer to the Japanese pro-
posals will be handed to the japanese
Foreign Office by Baron De Rosen,
Russian ambassador to Japan, within
very few days, and do not expect
grave results to follow.
In other quarters the conciliatory at
titude of both governments inspires
belief that the answer will pave the
way to further negotiations if, indeed,
it does not directly lead to pacific
settlement of the trouble.
The characteristic note in the press
to-day is the doubt about the attitude
of the United States in the event of
a war between Russia and Japan. The
Rirshewia Vodomosti Celebrates on
American power in the Pacific, in the
proximity of the Philippines and For
mosa, and says: 1T is no secret to
any one in Europe that the position
of the United States in the East Asiatic
crisis remains highly problematical."
Rus, a new journal, made up of
former employees of the Novoe Vremya,
handles the theme in a similar man
ner.
The Novoe Vremya expresses i'll will
towards the United States in a long
leader about the alleged instructions
given American consuls in Russia to
report on the prospects of renewed
anti-Selnitic disorders, and in curious
editorial opposes the sale of the Man.
churian Railway, whether to the United
States or to China, which it declares,
is advocated in some quarters here.
All the newspapers here to-day copy
from the organ of the war ministry d
beiated and, therefore, all the more
signlhcant, order of the day, publish
ed by Admiral Alexieff, Russian vice
roy in the Far East, after the fall
manoeuvers and parade at Port Ar
thur, highly praising the troops and
6eclaring that some who had just

rived in magnificent condition.
