ARE ROMANY GYPSIES.
Claim of Two Girls Who Are Located
in Atchison.

Atchison. Kan, Feb. 3.-Two girls
who say they are related to the royal
family of Romany Gypsies have rent
ed a store room in Atchison, in which
they tell fortunes. and also eat and
sleep. They say they are sisters and
give their names as Madge and Alpha
Stanley.
According to their statement their
grandfather is Sugar Stanley, a rich
Gypsy who owns a good deal of land
near Dayton, Ohio. The Romany
Gypsies are English, 1t seems, having
come to America from a swamp coun-
try not far from London. They settled
near Dayton, Ohio early in the present
century, and meet there every year.
The young women IN AtchisOn were ed
ucated in the public schools at Dayton,
and while they can jabber off the lang
uage of the Gypsies with apparent
freedom. their English. is not broken.
They say old Sugar Stanley still
travels in covered wagons, in spite of
his advanced age and wealth, and that
their parents are also in the fortune
telling business in covered wagons.
There are three or four tribes of Gyp-
sizes, among them the Romany Gypsies,
the Russian Gypsies, and the Hungar-
ian Gypsies, but all were originally
from Egypt. The Gypsies tell fortunes
by the science of palmistry, and also
with cards. Their claim is that they
depend more on intuition in telling for
tunes, than on the palm of the hand,
or on the cards.

CHINA MAY FIGHT
RUSSIA AND JAPAN

Pekin, Feb. lit now appears more
certain than ever that absolute neu
trality on the part of China toward the
Russo Japanese war cannot be main
tanned.
The dowager empress has dismissed
Prince Su, who was the strongest ad.
vocate of Chinese neutrality in the
corps of the imperial advisors. The
empress is said to be in somewhat of 3
dilemma. The conviction is growing
on her that China is the real stake of
the war and that it is necessary to pre-.
pare TO resist absorption whichever OF
the two nations at war proves victor.
ious. The result may be that China,
instead of joining hands with Japan, as
has been prophesied, will take up arms
against both and that the fight will be-
come a three, cornered one.

Killed by His Own Invention.

ST. Petersburg, FEB, 17.-Captain
Stepanoff, who was blown up with the
torpedo gunboat Yenisei and who him,
self invented the system for laying sub
marine mines which ii Is considered is
responsible for the catastrophe, caused
Yenisei to be fitted with his device for
the rapid laying of mines, whereby a
trolley line extended beyond the yes
sells stern, along which the mines slid
out and dropped into their appointed
places. This plan did away with the
cumbersome work of laying the mines
from small boats. The accident was
due to the excessive strain on the
Yenisei's anchor cables while the
mines were suspended, pending the i'm.
mersion. The two cables snapped and
one mine collided with another.
