SECRETARY HAYS DIPLOMACY.
Complimentary Remarks by the Lon
don Press.

LONDON. September 21.-BefOre making
further representations to Russia respecting
the character of the goods included in the
list of absolute contraband of war the
British government proposes to ascertain
the views of Secretary Hay in order that
the two governments may continue to act
identically in the matter. Mr.. Hays note.
the contents of which were known and
thoroughly approved by the foreign office
calls forth fiattering comments from all
quarters.
The press is especially complimentary,
the ST. James Gazette calling it "a re-
markable specimen of that directness
which habitually characterizes the gov
eminent at Washington in dealing with
other governments and that capacity for
plain speaking-however disconcertinl
it may be to the traditional habits of
diplomacy-one which might be Guilt
waited to advantage by Downing street,
for it rarely fails to produce effects which
are not always,the result from suaviter in
modo.'
The Westminster Gazette describes the
note as a firm and pointed declaration,
adding:
Happily, Russia had given way as re-
CARDS food. But it is quite as important
that the doctrine should be made sure in
the case of such articles as cotton"

Over His FamiIy's Absence.

Detectives Parham and O'Brien and
policemen from the ninth precinct were
sent out this morning to make an investiga-
ton at the fiat of Balridge Beavers, 1423la
street northeast, on report of neighbors
who stated that members of the Beavers
family had not been seen about their apart
ments since Sunday night. They believed
that death had overtaken members of the
family, and because of their anxiety Cap
tain Boardman sent the detectives and
policemen to inspect the premises.
No trace of the members of the family
was to be found. The dinner table was
set and meat that had been left upon 1t was
decayed. None of the neighbors could give
the police any information concerning the
whereabouts of the occupants of the fiat.
Sunday night about 8 O'Clock Mr.. and Mrs.
Beavers and their child were seen at their
home, but the bottle of milk and a paper
left at their door the next morning were
not taken in. These also remained at the
door yesterday undisturbed. and, as stated.
the neighbors became alarmed and called
upon the police. -. .--
After making the investigation one of the
officers remarked that it was simply a case
of people going away without advising their
neighbors of their movements.
