Wives.
London, Eng.-Polygamy and its in
fluences over George Crossman, who
had eight or more wives, and the de.
velopments following from the suicide
of Crossman, are absorbing public at.
tention. On the night of March %
Crossman, who was living in the re.
spectacle suburb of Kensalrise, killed
himself to avoid arrest by the police
whose suspicious had been aroused
regarding the contents of a trunk
which Crossman was sending away
from his house. On opening the trunk
the body of woman was found en-
cased in cement. An investigation
proved that she was murdered about
six months ago and that she was one
of Crossman's wives. Five of his
wives were traced and found alive.
One wife is dead and two are missing.
The body found cemented is in a
decomposed condition, even to the
skull, which had been split with an
axe.
The police believe 1t possible the in
vestigation may prove that Crossman
adopted similar method in Kidding
himself of other wives, of which it is
suspected he may have had several
who have not yet been traced.
Though only 30 years of age. Cross
mans career rivals that of famous
criminals. Under various aliases he
led double and even triple married
life. He was an engineer, composer,
wigmaker or bookmaker.

PARIS, March z1.-According 70 the
st. Petersburg correspondent OF the
NIatin, a member Of the Russian i'm
perial family has declared that the mo-
bilization Of troops is proceeding
actively in Turkestan. The concentra-
tion Of troops is being effected on the
railway from Merv to Kushka, from
tier fortress overlooking the Pamirs. 1t
is believed that Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicolalevitch, general-in-chief Of the
cavalry. Will assume command Of the
troops in Turkestan.
The St Petersburg correspondent OF
the Echo de Paris has had an interview
with Nice-Admlral Avallene, the Rus
sian Minister of Marine, who said II
had been necessary to replace Vice
Admiral Stark. the condition OF whose
health was deplOrable, with an ener-
Eetic man Ike Nice-Admiral Makaron,
but the Minister denied that the pres
ence OF either Vice Admiral Makaron or
General Kuropatkin affected the posi-
ton Of Viceroy Alexieff, adding that
Eice-Admiral Malzaroffs kilograms to
the Emperor would pass through the
Niceroy's hands
The Minister said he did not expect
that there would be any further
changes relating to the Emperor's
principal representative at the seat Of
war during the entire period Of dura-
tiOn OF hOstilities.
Minister Avallene said he hoped that
the battleships Retvizan and Cesare-
witch and the cruiser Pallada would be
ready to resume service in a fortnight.
He declared that the separation of the
Russian sCuadrons had proved to be
most useful, and finally confirmed the
statement that the Mediterranean
squadron would return TO Libau when
that port was free from ice.

that the Russians are fortifying the

FRANCE TO MAKE
PROTEST AGAINST
JAPANESE ACTION

PARIS, March 20.-The Russian en-
bassy has received from ST. Petersburg
and has handed TO Foreign Minister
Delcasse, for transmission TO the
French Minister at Toxic, who is
intrusted with the protection Of Rus
sian interests in Japan, a protest
against an alleged infraction of the
laws OF war 1t appears that during
the attack on Port Arthur on March
10 the Japanese fired more than fifty
prOJectiles at the quarantine station
on the island Of SanshantaO, resulting
in the injury of numerous persons.
Count LamsGOrff. the Russian For
eign Minister. considers this to be a
violation of the laws Of war, notably
of the twenty-fifth clause of the Hague
convention. to which Japan was a sig
natOry. The Minister. therefore. asks
France to call Japan's attention to the
matter, apart from the general protests
contained in the recent Russian note to
the powers.
The French Government has already
transmitted to Toxic Russias protests
against the seizure of Russian whaling
vessels wintering at Nagasaki before
the expiration of the date fixed for the
departure of Russian vessels from Jap
anese ports To this Japan replied
that, prize court having passed upon
the question, it was no longer a diplO-
matte one. but that the owners had a
right to appeal to a superior court.
Russia refuses to take this view and
asks France to renew the protest
