A correspondent OF The Washington
Post tells of rabbit which killed a
hound with one blow of its claws. A
rabbit is more dangerous than is real
ly thought. Last winter on Pocosin
creek, Mr.. John Hobbs. while hunting
rabbits, had his dog run into a hol-
low log. AS he stopped to peep into
the log the rabbit ieaped out full
against Mr.. Hobbs. breaking his nose
and knocking him upon his dog with
such a force as to crush that animal
to death. The rabbit escaped. We

sure they will sometimes help them
selves to fruit if they can't find worms

that Russia will not abandon the right,
which she claims, to send volunteer

many, against her will, must assume q
different attitude toward Russia, add
ing:
After England has obtained salts
faction SO speedily, 1t would be double
moral defeat for Germany II she could
not compel the same respect as the
English flag"
The Post, evidently verbally inspired
by the Foreign Office, characterizes the
seizure as another exhibition Of Rus
sian recklessness and predicts it will
stir up much bad blood In Germany.
'It WILL" adds the Post, make dip
lomatic relations between Russia and
Germany, which are already bad, much
worse"
The Foreign Office has cabled to the
German Consul at Port Said for an au-
thentic version Of the capture OF the
Scandia and is awaiting his answer be-
fore making representations at st.
Petersburg. The officials discuss the
case with an evident attempt to keep
cool, but they betray deep-seated In
dignation at Russias course. Germany
has no warships in the Red Sea and
the question of sending vessels there
has not yet been considered, but the
officials plainly intimate that this ques-
ton must arise unless Russia speedily
order the captains of her volunteer fieet
steamships to cease molesting German
shipping. The officials refer to the en-
ergetic language Of the German press
as fully tustifable. The seizure OF the
Scandal is regarded as being so exces-
sively unreasonable that the Govern
ment officials try to assume that the
captain of the Russian ship exceeded
his instructions and that Russia VIII
make speedy amends.
The Lokal Anzeiger regards the selz-
ure of the Scandia as being a mucn
more serious act Of violence than the
Prinz Heinrich case.

RECALLS AMERICAN SEIZURES
French Press Refers to Incidents OF
Late War With Spain.


PARIS, July 23.-Official advices in
dicate that the Anglo Russian incident
is proceeding toward an adjustment.
Foreign Minister Delcasse's efforts
have been to keep the affair within
diplomatic lines and so prevent some
overt act of British reprisals, which
might precipitate serious international
complications. These efforts are now
considered as having accomplished
their object. Delays in the future will
be those naturally incident to a dip
lomatic settlement of the controversy.
In connection with the anxiety in
the United States over a possible seiz-
ure of American merchantmen carry
ing supplies to Yokohama, the French
newspapers recall the American seiz-
lures Of the French merchantmen
Lafayette and Olinde Rodriguez during
the Spanish war. 1t is asserted that
negotiations over these cases brought
the United States and France to ac-
cord general recognition of the right
of seizure. It is also pointed out that
the seizure of French ships did not
arouse such excitement In France as
that recently shown in England.
