Conditions Agreed To
by Mrs. Florence
MaybriCk.
She Is Not to Appear Upon
the Public Stage or
Write a Book.
Great Secrecy Attaches to WOman's
Release From Prison and Her
Subsequent Movements.

LONDON, Feb 1.-The Daily Mail
this morning says that Mrs. Florence
Maybrick is now in Liverpool and that
the following conditions attach to her
release from prison: That she shall
not appear on the public stage or write
a book of her experiences and shall in
no way endeavor to attract public at
tention to herself
With much mystery are the officials
shrouding their actions in connection
with the release of Mrs. Maybrick. At
the United States embassy it was en-
phatically declared that she had not
been pardoned. The Home Office and
the governor of Aylesbury Prison re-
fuse to make any statement If the
ordinary course had been followed Mrs
Maybrick would have been taken to
Holloway, if her immediate release
were contemplated. She probably has
been removed to place of less rigorous
discipline, where she can recuperate
prior to her final release.
The details given in this mornings
Lloyds Weekly newspaper regarding
the visit of Mrs. Maybricks mother,
Baroness de Rouques, to Aylesbury
prison on January 25 appear to be cor
rect. She afterward described Mrs.
Maybrick as very busy With her work,
in much better spirits and looking for
ward to her release.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Regard-
ing the case of Mrs. Maybrick, inter-
est in which has been revived by re-
ports that she has been released from
prison in England, State Department
officials say there has been no recent
communication between them and the
English Government in the matter.
The last information the department
had regarding the case (and this is now
some months ODD was that Mrs. May
brick probably would be released late
in the coming summer.

The Dessimism regarding the pros

realized that it is impossible that Rus

SENATE WILL DEBATE
ON PANAMA QUESTION

WASHINGTON Jan. 31.-The Sem
ate this week will continue to discuss
the Panama question. There is dis
position on the part of many Demo-
cratic Senators to postpone further
discussion of the question until re-

shall be received from the executive.
The Democrats, however, have given
assurance to the Republican leaders
that they will not seek delay merely
for the purpose of postponing a vote
on the treaty. which they will permit
as soon as legitimate debate shall have
been exhausted.

RUSSIA GAINS MORE TIME.
Further Delay in Framing and For
wardin2 Note to japan.

Wafding Note to Japan.
PARIS, Jan. 31.-Another delay has
occurred in framing and forwarding
the Russian answer to the latest Jap
anese note, and this will result in fur
Their averting the elimination of the
crisis until the middle or the latter
part of the week
The official adyices received here
from st. Petersburg to-day, although
somewhat negative. gave definite de-
tails of the status of the note and the
programme it was intended to follow.
Count Lamsdorff, the Russian Foreign
Minister, had expected that the ex-
changes going on would have permit
ted the final drafting of the answer 20
that it could have been presented to
the CT: yesterday for his approval,
but he expectation was not realized.
and, as a matter of fact, the answer
has not yet been finally drafted. 1t
was determined therefore, to defer it's
submission to the Gear until next
Tuesday or Wednesday. Efforts are
still being made to SO shape this an
swer as to prevent rupture.
This new delay is interpreted as
slightly improving the situation. as it
indicates that Russia is making ex-
IRENE efforts to bring the answer with
in limits acceptable to Japan.
Owing to the fact that the Russian
answer is not completed. it is pointed
out that the reports concerning its gen.
eral terms must be taken with allow
ance. as the delay indicates that some
of the points which presented the most
serious difficulties maJ yet be recon-
ciled.
Throughout the past week the au-
thorities here have been kept fully ad-
vised of the general tendencies Of Rus
sia but they have not known whether
or not these tendencies would be in
corporated in the answer by which
Russia would irrevocably abide.
1t is understood that the Empress of
Russia has an affection of the ear
which may necessitate an operation.
This fac. is considered as having some
bearing upon the time when the an
swer will be submitted to the Gar for
approval.
In any event officials here are conf
dent that definite results will be
known next Thursday.
Owing to the feeling that a final eff
fort toward reconciliation was being
made, the tone of official sentiment
was somewhat improved to-day.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 31.-Special
prayers were offered to-day in all the
Catholic and many of the Protestant
churches of the city for rain. In some
of the churches special rain services
were held. The feeling seems to be
general among the ministers and the
members of the churches that rain
will be sent to break the drought If
the people pray fervently for it. Fol-
lowing the scriptural quotation that
"the prayer of the righteous man
avaiIeth much" the invocations were
pronounced. About six weeks ago
Bishop Conaty issued a circular ask
ing the pastors of the Catholic
churches to pray for rain at their SER

Changes to Result From
Creation of General Staff

LONDON, Jan. 3L-The report of the
Royal Commission. known as the Lord
Esher Commission, which was ap-
pointed last November for the purpose
Of advising the Government concerning
the reation of board for the admin
istrative business of the War Office.
has been issued and it confirms the
change foreshadowed by the press on
November IS, namely, that the post of
commander in chief of the army will
be abolished.
With the approval Of the King and
actirg upon the recommendations of
the commission, the Government has
decided to appoint an army council
framed upon the admiralty model; to
abolish the office of commander in
chief of the army, and to create new
post. that of inspector general, whose
principal duty will be to inspect and
report upon the efficiency of the mill
tary forces.
The report is divided into three sec
tions, the first Of which relates TO the
defense committee, the second TO the
army council. and the third to inspec-
ton. 1t points out the necessity Of
greater permanence in the defense
committee in order to insure contin-
uous policy, and il suggests the addi-
ton to the existing defense committee
of a permanent secretary, holding Of
flee FIVE years; two naval officials Sc
lected by the admiralty, two military
officials chosen by the Viceroy of In
dia, and, IL possible, .other colonial
representatives holding office two
years.
With regard to the War Office. the
commission suggests that the Secre-
tary Of State for War be placed in the
same position as the First Lord Of the
Admiralty. directly responsible to the
crown and to Parliament.
The constitution of the Army Coun-
ell aims at decentralization. the indi-
vidual members of the council being
entrusted with different branches, such
as armament, supply, finance, etc. In
/ this connection the report remarks
significantly:
| NEW measures demand new men:
we therefore attach special Importance
to the appointment of military MEM
bers not too closely connected with ex-
listing methods. and who, therefore, are
not likely to be embarrassed by the
traditions of a system which is to be
radically changed"
The commission considers the aboli-
ton of the post of commander in chief
to be imperative and it urges the di-
vorce of the administrative from the
executive department.
The inspector general is to be ap-
pointed for five years. His sole func-
ton, aided by staff. is to report upon
actual facts without expressing opin-
ions on policies.
The Lord Esher Commission re-
ported with unusual promptitude Sir

Victoria. one of the members of the
commission, arrived in England on

HAS NO INFORMATION.

Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minis
ter to Great Britain, informed the press
last night that his Government did not
know what Russias answer would be
and il was therefore impossible to say
whether war was probable or not. The
fact that the Russian reply had not yet
been dispatched showed, according to
Baron Hayashi, that Russia's decision
had not yet been taken, as II was
hardly probable. if a decision had been
reached, that the note should be de-
layed.
A semi-official denial has been issued
at st. Petersburg to the reports that
the Gar presided at a council at which
the Russian reply was decided upon,
and it is explained that no conference
except that at which Grand Duke
Alexis presided has been held in con-
nection with the Russo-Japanese affair.

tsin says Russia is purchasing large
quantities of Kaiping coal for imme-
date delivery at Port Arthur, where

II is plain from the foregoing that
