PRESSING AMERICAN CLAIMS.
Enlbassador Mccormick Asks for Re-
lease of Captured CargOes.


ST PETERSBURG. Sept. 5.-For-
eign Minister Lamsdorff is being
pressed by ambassador Mccormick
for an answer TO the representations
Of the United States in regard to the
cargOes Of the Portland and Asiatic
line steamship Arabia and the British
steamship Calchas. both captured by
the Nladivostok squadron. 1t is un-
derstOOd that the United States now
goes 10 the extent Of asking for the
release Of The cargoes.
The Foreign Office. however. is un-
able TO give a definite response TO the
representations made pending the de-
cisiOn Of the commission which is ex-
amining the question OF contra band
OF war. The commission is not max
Ing much progress. owing to the posi-
ton taken by Grand Duke Alexander
MikhailOKich. head Of the Department
Of Mercantile Marine and brother-in-
law Of the Emperor. and Grand Duke
Alexis, the high admiral and uncle of
his Majesty, who are standing out
against the American and British
view OF fOOdstuds as conditional con-
traband, on the ground that II the
contention were allowed it would be
idle 10 attempt TO stop contraband
bound for Japan.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-At the State
Department confirmation is obtained OF
the statement in the St. Petersburg dis
patch that America has asked for the
release Of the cargOes Of the steamships
Arabia and Calchas. seized by the
NlaoivostOk squadron. The Calchas.
though British vessel, had an Ameri-
can cargo on board.
The State Department all along has
contended that fOodstUhs not directly
consigned 10 the forces Of a belligerent
are not contraband Of war, and has
pressed this view on the Russian Gov
eminent. There are no recent develop
Tnents in the case Of the two steam
ships mentioned. and in view Of the in
decision of the Russian commission en-
gsEed in examining the question of
c0ntraband immediate action is not ex-
pected- The disposition Of the high
Russian officials, as viewed in Wash
ington, seems 10 be TO treat the matter
Of fOodstUffs as being contraband from
the standpoint Of policy rather than
from the well-defned rules Of interna-
tionsl law.

"Don't chase shadows

"Don't chase shadows"
Doubtful proof is but a shadow.
You can rely on testimony of peo-
pie you know.
You can investigate local evidence.
Robert J. Roland, painter, of 1910
Bryant street, says: 81 don't know
whether the lame, weak and aching
back I had could be called lumbago.
and | am uncertain whether it was
caused by overwork or by lifting
while painting one of the boats. but
/ do know it was sufficiently annoy
ing to be decidedly aggravating, and
a course of the treatment of Doan's
Kidney Pills stopped it. If every
one in San Francisco receive as much
benefit from that remedy as /, back
ache will cease to exist in this vi
cinity."

GREAT BRITAIN UNEASY.
Japan's Pact With Korea Causes Lon
don to Take Notice.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-No official rep
resentation will be made by the Brit
ish Government in regard to the Jap
anese-Korean agreement, the text of
which was cabled from Toxic last
night, but the authorities are taking
lively interest in the extent of the in
tervention of Japan in the affairs of
the hermit kingdom.
Under the Anglo-Japanese alliance
both powers agreed to respect the in
dependence and integrity of Korea and
the agreement between Japan and Ko-
rea is regarded as an infringement of
Korean independence. But 1t had
been expected that if Japan were sue
cessful in the war she would estab-
lish a Drotectorate over Korea.

follows:
"The retreat of our troops from

During September 4 the Japanese

A Trying Ordeal.

Ordeal by murdered corpse applied
by the Chicago police to wrench con.
fession to the murder of Natoli Sele-
FAM, failed 10 secure the desired re-
suit but it is thought that confess
sion may follow later. The procedure
was as follows:
The body of Selefani was exhumed,
carried to a vault and placed in sit
ting posture. The right arm and hand
were propped up in such a manner
that the index finger pointed directly
at the face of any person entering he
vault. The attitude was made as near
ly as possible like that which would
be assumed by person, saying:
You are the man who killed me-"
Police Inspector Shippy then took TO
the vault Peter Miro, Frank Bell.
Charles Benzie and Joyce Toppin, a
colOred porter.
Benzie and Bell went through the
ordeal without exhibiting trace of
emotion. The colored porter was bad
ly frightened. but did not reveal any
thing in the shape of clue. Miro re-
fused to enter the vault, and the Off
GERS were compelled to drag him be-
fore the corpse and compel him to
gaze upon it, But he would not con-

A Teacher,s Testimony.

Hinton, Ky, Nov. 2S.-(Special)-
1t has long been claimed that Diabe-
ties is incurable, but Mr.. f. j. Thomp-
son, teacher in the Hinton school,
has pleasing evidence to the contrary.
Mr.. Thompson had Diabetes. He took
Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In
a statement he makes regarding his
cure Mr.. Thompson says:
81 was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
| had Diabetes and there was little
to be done for me. Then | started
to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what
they did for me was wonderful IL
is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney
Pills that | am now enjoying good
health"
Many doctors still maintain that
Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes
is a kidney disease, and the kidney
disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills Will
not cure has yet to be discovered.

WANTED WALLACE.
Found Him In London With Brcitung's
Money and Woman.

James Wallace. the confidential clerk

Great surprise is occasioned here by
the report that Wallace was accom-
panied by woman on his arrival in
England lie is Il single man.
Wallace fed from Marquette on Oct
80. leaving word with his employer
that he was going TO an institution for
the cure of inebrity in Illinois. When
he did not return. Mr.. Bre.tung began
an investigation. with the result that
$50 shares of Michigan Copper Mining
stock and 900 shares OF United States
Steel preferred stock were found 10 be
missing. He at once reported the case
to the American Bankers association.

gun for Wallace.
1t was found that he took passage
from Boston on the Cunard liner Sax
onia for Liverpool on Nov. Il, with a
woman said to he his wife. under the
names Of Mr.. and Mrs. James Wilson.
1t was subsequently learned that Wal

In Boston for 800 900. When the steam
er reached England n detective was at
the pier. and the man and woman
were followed until the man was posi-
lively identified as Wallace. The $22.-

FROM ALL OVER MICHIGAN
DEER SLAUGHTER.
Twelve Hundred Killed by Thousands
of Hunters.

1t is impossible TO estimate with any
degree OF accuracy how many hunters
have been III the woods this fall. More
than Il thousand licenses were taken
out In Chippewa county alone. The sup
ply ran out early I'm the season and
County Clerk John Il. Parsille was
forced 10 telegraph to Lansing for
more. Other counties sent hunters into
the woods IL equal numbers, and rs
thousands came from southern coun-
ties. il is believed that at least $1,000
men have been in the WOODS north of
the straits r'nce election day.
\ rough estimate fixes the number of
deer killed this year in the upper pen
nSula Ut l2.000. 1t is believed that the
number IS considerably smaller than
last year, owing to the lack of snow.
1t has been bad for the deer, rs hunters
have been unable to see them clearly
and scores Of wounded animals are ly-
ing in the woods slowly dying. In
many instances deer have been killed
and upon examination hunters have dis
covered but three legs on the animals.
Some have but one horn. while in Il
few instances half starved animals
with two legs shot off have been found.
