Recuperating Under Care OF a
Religious Order.
Be PARD0NED IN JULY
COVE ERNMENT DOES NOT WANT
HER PRESENT WHEREABoUT
KNOWN TO PUBLIC.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
London, Feb. 4.-Thc Associated
Press can announce with authority
that Mrs Florence Maybrick is now
in a home in distant part of England
and under the care of members of a
religious sisterhood
She has not been released and she
is kept under surveillance, but to all
intents and purposes her life now,
compared to her existence in Aylsbury
prison is that of free woman. She
will remain where she is until next
July when her punishment will be
ended under special license. and she
will be allowed to 90 free, subject to
the conditions governing a ticket of
leave to convicts.
The transfer of Mrs. Maybrick from
a penal prison to quiet country home
constitutes an almost unprecedented
action on the part of the authorities.
II was due to the mediation of Ade-
line Marie, Duchess of Bedford who
as a visior to Aylesbury prison for
many years, has taken a personal in
terest in Mrs. Maybrick and finally
succeeded in obtaining mitigation OF
her punishment to the extent of being
allowed to spend the last six months
of her confinement outside of prison
walls.
The home office several months age
agreed with the duchess. although II
imposed a pledge of secrecy. There
fore in order to permit her hair tt
grow ont again and for recuperatior
Of her health Mrs Maybrick was
quietly transferred to this private IN
stitution where, although she is still
actually a convict under life sentence
she lives in a freedom that bellies hei
real status
The mystery with which this change
in Mrs. Makbrick's transfer was affect
cd. excited the keenest interest here
and gave rise to numerous stories that
she had been released These, as
previously stated in these dispatches
are utterly without foundation. Her
exact whereabouts are guarded with
extraordinary secrecy, chiefly for the
purpose of preventing criticism Of the
government for having taking the fore
going exceptional steps in her case.

worst break in the history of cotton

Cured today, where, on vague war

they were from 166 to 1870 points lower
than the close of yesterday and May

AT noon the market was quiet,
with prices trending upward. Soon
after the noon hour message from
Chicago said cables had been received
there of a declaration of war between
Japan and Russia Values commenced
to slide swiftly downward and in five
minutes the ring was in panic.
Traders and brokers who, few
minutes before appeared to be the
sanest and calmcst of men, suddenly
became crazy in their efforts to sell

cotton. The general desire was to sell
at any price. The combination pit
and the ring at the cotton exchange
was an amphitheatre Of struggling,
yellny humanity, wild with anxiety
and their fears appeared to be all the
greater because they were not exactly
aware of what they were afraid of
Brokers labored wildly excited in
their attempts to dispose OF their cot
ton Hundreds of thousands Of bales
Of cotton were thrown into the ring
and sellers exceeded buyers. The
lower the prices went the more fran
tic the ring became. The space in the
center Of the ring hecam'. filed with
stools and chairs, kicked there by
brokers In their mad efforts to get
nearer the center of the pit that they
might stand a chance of selling their
contracts. The scene lasted well until
the close of the market when the ring
finally had sold out.
The false alarm was heartily con
demned after the market closed and
il was found the rumors were entirely
unconfirmed,
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are reported to have been lost today.

RUSSIAN NOTE SENT TO JAPAN
AND WORLD WAITS FOR
ANSWER.

BY the Associated Press
Washington, Feb. War or peace
will come tomorrow.
This is the general opinion in the
diplomatic corps tonight. Both at the
Russian embassy and the Japanese le-
cation the situation is described as
grave. 1t is stated at the situation is
Russian embassy that the st.
Petersburg government has made a
determined and earnest effort for
peace, even going SO far as to offer
magnaminious concessions in Korea.
Russia is unwilling to discuss the
question of Manchuria, taking the
ground that his is a subject for ne
gotiation between st. Petersburg and
Pekin and not between St Peters
burg and Toxic.
In the opinion of the Russian gov
ernment Japan's legitimate interests
in Manchuria do not exceed those OF
the United States, Great Britain OF
of the other powers signatory to the
peace protocol of 1900. For this rea'
son Russia has declared her unwilling
ness to discriminate between the pow.
ers and enter into special treaty
with Japan.
In event of war it is expected that
Russia will address the powers set
ting fcrth her position, and briefly re
viewing the various steps in the ne
gotiatlons. It is expected by Russia
that her manifesto will be immediatel,
followed here by an official declaration
neutrality on the part OF the Unitet

chamber again today was the arena
of an interesting political debate, with
provisions in the urgent deficiency
appropriation bill for loan of $4,000
o00 for the st. Louis exposition as the
basis for the discussion.
The controversy was precipitated
by Senator Lodge who quoted many
official figures to demonstrate that
Republican policies had not been a
figure in the United States He also
charged Senator German with hostil-
ity to the navy
Foraker also spoke, devoting himself
largely to the comparison of conditions
under the Harrison administration and
those under the administration of
Cleveland, to the advantage of the
former.
On the Democratic side Senators
German and Bailey were the orators.
German explained his attitude to-
wards the army and navy, and charged
that at the close of the Harrison adj
ministration the treasury of the United
States was in very bad way,
Bailey followed up this charge with
an elaborate presentation of stats
tics, and contended that the exports
trade Of the United States under
Cleveland was greater than under
Harrison. The exposition amendment

Of the suggestion made in the press
to the effect that Mrs. Maybrick, when
released from prison. will not be per
mitted to land in the United States
on the ground that she has been a
convict. II is learned that the issue
probably win be avoided by the simple
device of taking out passport from
the United States embassy In London.
While the doctrine is not absolutely
settled, the state department practice
has been to admit right of an Amer

on the death of her husband. therefore,
