SATOW DESIRES NEU-
TRALITY.

BIRMINGHAM, England, May "a
The Post asserts that the foreign Of
fee has received a long dispatch from
Sir Ernest Satow British minister at
Pekin. in which the latter deals at
some lens- with China's attitude to-
ward the far eastern war; There is
open satisfaction, he says, felt by the
Chinese Imperial authorities over Jap
anese successes 1t is understood that
Satow regards the chief danger of the
situation in the attitude of the other
nations. All should be kept neutral
by the joint effort of the European
and American ambassadors. Satow
suggests that great Britain approach
the other powers to this end

HITS BOOM
FOR VICE PRESIDENT SEEMS TO
BE GAINING - PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT WELCOMES THE
SUGGESTION OF HIS NOM
INATION.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13--The
Vice-Presid entail boom of Representa-
tive Hit, of Illinois, seems TO be grow
ing Rapidly. 1t is understood that
President Roosevelt is more anxious
about the result in Illinois than in
any other State in the West. and he
has therefore welcomed the susges-
ton of Mr.. Hits nomination with a
good deal OF enthusiasm.
1t now seems to be settled that
Speaker Cannon will evade the net OF
those who would like to nominate him
for second place. If he were to con-
sent to run, the President and his adj
viserS believe that the Republican
ticket would sweep the Sucker State
in spite of the bitter fractional fight
being waged in the ranks of the party.
Not being sure of ''Unce Joe the adj
ministration would be pleased to have
the Foreign Affairs Committee in the
House. MIR. Hit has for many years
played a prominent part in the diplo-
matte activities of the government.
He is in perfect sympathy with the
policy of President Roosevelt, and as
he said in an interview yesterday, he
was perfectly willing to make the race.
His friends know where hes stands,
and can, therefore, come out in the
open and carry on a vigorous cam.
paign III his behalf. The Republican
representatives still in town will meet
and indorse Mr.. Hits candidacy

Bradley Equals ThornIey's Run.

Up TO Tuesday evening the record
run of the sinuous river branch OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, be-
tween Connellsville and Mckeesport,
was credited alone to the late William
Thornley,, who ran the Duquesne linn
tied over the distance of 10 miles in
43 minutes couple of years ago. En-
gineer William Bradley, with his hand
on the throttle OF engine NO. I39, at
the head of a special. made the same
record Tuesday evening between the
two points, and in addition made the
record run over the division between
ConnellSville and Laughlin Junction
DR.. Murphy, of Chicago. had been call
ed to F'airmont to attend Mrs. Meter,
mother of William Meter, of the Fair
mont Coal Company, who was suffer
ing with symptoms of appendicitis.
The physician was detained after
train No. 81 had left Fairmont Tues
day afternoon. He chartered a special
train from Fairmont to Connellsville,
hoping to make connection with train
No. for Chicago, his presence being
necessary in that city yesterday at
II O'Clock for an important operation.
1t was found by General Superintend-
ent w. c. Loree, of this city, that
the special would necessitate the delay
of No. 3, to avoid which he ordered
the train to proceed to this city and
a special to conduct DR.. Murphy from
ConneIlsvilie to Pittsburg. Accord
ngly the train left ConnellSville at
G:53 o'clock, about as minutes after
No. had left. Engineer Bradley put
the little engine to the test for the
clear track run and made a mile a
minute up to the water tanks at the
southerly side of McKeesport. From
that point to Laughlin Junction the
run was necessarily slower because of
the terminals, but the special arrived
at the junction at S:04. just one min
ute before No. 5 was due to leave
the Water street station. DR.. Muir
ply boarded the Chicago limited No
) at the junction Engineer Bradley
was congratulated by the officials. The
special consisted Of the engine and
three cars. Conductor Dudley Pick
les was in charge OF the train.

An officer of United States Marshal
Horace w. Bailey's force. according
10 information which has just leaked
out. had an exciting experience some
time ago in effecting the arrest OF a
Mrs. Alma Bailey OF Ludlow, a woman
who weighs nearly $50 pounds and Is
as strong as she is large.
The woman had an intense dislike
for her son-in-law. and had written
scurrilous matter about him on the
outside of an envelope which she sent
through the United States mails. The
marshals Office took the matter up,
and an officer was sent to Ludlow to
take the woman to Rutland.
Mrs. Bailey said that she never
would 90 to Rutland alive, and she
barricaded herself in the pantry OF her
house. Her son and her husband
cntreated her to come out and be
peaceable, and the deputy United
States marshal did likewise. but to no
avail Finally the three men battered
down the pantry door, but even then
she defended herself with a rolling
pin and other articles in the pantry
until finally she was OveTpowered by
the men.
The marshars deputy finally. took
the woman TO Rutland, but everybody
on the way knew that there was some
thing doing.
Mrs. Bailey was subsequently, re-
leased by the grand jury.
