 New Britain, Nov. 27.-While on their way to Sunday school this morning Harold c. Parks, twelve years old; his brother, Howard I. Parks, eight years old, and George Halverson, ten years old. were drowned in Walnut Hill res eryoir, which they attempted to cross on a thin coating of ice.

The ice was broken off for several yards, and it is supposed that they clung to the frail coating until exhaust ed. The boys caps, froating over the spot where their owners went down, served as a hint to a possible tragedy, and soon after they were seen by Spe- eial Policeman Harry Mount he notified the police and fire departments that he believed three boys were drowned in the reservoir.
 With grappling irons and hooks the firemen started to drag for bodies, but for several hours the men worked in vain. Finally the three bodies were brought up, one after the other, and taken to a local undertaking establish ment, where they renamed until late in the day before they were identified positively. The families of the drown ed boys did not know of the accident until late in the afternoon, and as their children were missing they went to the undertakers and found them
 The Parks boys were sons of Charles II, Parks. an employe Of the Electric Vehicle company, Hartford, while young Halverson was the son of John Halverson, a mechanic, of II Chestnut street.

WARNING TO BRITISH coLLIERs
Vessels supplying Coal to Russian War
 ships May be Held Liable.

SAAApa 1AaS oC A-SAN %-@NN~f
 London, Nov. 27.-Foreign Minister Lansdowne has written a letter to the Chamber of Shipping, Chamber of Com merce and other similar bodies giving further warning with reference to Brit ish colliers and the Russian Baltic squadron, explaining that British own CTS chartering their vessels for such purposes as following the Russian fleet with coal and supplies might render themselves liable to proceedings under the foreign enlistment act, the applica- ble sections of which he quotes. Lord Lansdowne then refers to the fact that a similar question arose during the Franco-German war, when Mir. Clad stone laid down the principle that such colliers would to all intents and pur- poses become storeships to the fleet.
 Therefore, concludes Lord Lans- downs, although neutral traders may trade in contraband at the risk of cap- ture, they should bear in mind the con iditions of the English laws
 Lord Lansdowne, in response to the request of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce for further information on the question of contrabrand, states that communicationsgon the subject are still passing between the British and Russian governments. and that he Is not yet able to add materially to his earlier statement. However, he says, Russia regards coal and raw cotton as con- trabrand and machinery, as in the Cal ehas case, liable to condemnation if for warlike purposes.

Would Settle s1,OOO,OOO Win Contest
 for s1,ooo.

New York, Nov. 27.-Leo Cohen, a juror in the o'Donnell will case now being heard here in the special term of the supreme court before Justice Betts. was arrested to-day, charged with of fering to fix" the jury for monetary consideration of 1000.
 Herbert L. Kamber, twenty-three years old, who is alleged to have con ducted the negotiations, was arrested at the same time on a similar charge. On November IA three sons of the late Neal O'Donnell and other relatives joined issue in the supreme court for the possession of the estate of Neal O'Donnell and his brother Hugh, both of whom lived to be octogenarians and who amassed a fortune estimated at more than s1,OOO,OOO in the cooperage business under the firm name of H. & N. o'Donnell Cooperage company. The aged brothers made mutual wills, and Hugh's death preceded Meals by about two weeks. Small bequests were made to some of the relatives, but by their wills each had agreed to distribute the entire estate among certain charitable and religious institutions. The contest ants declare that Neal was not compe- tent to make will at the time his will was made signed.
 Last week, according to a statement made by Assistant District Attorney Cans, Rambler told an attorney for one of the contestants while the trial was on that the jury could be fixed" The district attorney was notified and ne- gotiations were conducted under his supervision. A conference was arrang- ed to which, it is alleged, Kamber brought Cohen, who said he was sure that others of the jury could be brought to his way of thinking, and that the job could be done for $l,000, out of which he would settle with Rambler. An other meeting with representatives of the district attorney was agreed upon for to-day, and when Cohen and Kam- ber appeared they were arrested.

SEASON or 1TPHooNS.
Winter Sets in at Mpkden-Interest in Skirmishes Waning.

a
 Mukden, Nov. 27.--A terrific storm was experienced here on Saturday, and residents expect a repitition of such weather, coincident with typhoons off the coast, until March. The tempera- ture is now below freezing. The inhab- itants of leaky huts are in a pitiable condition
 The war has reached such phase that the interest in small skirmishes is very slight. Everyone has been looking for 2 big battle but though endorsements continue to arrive, and both sides con- tinue to entreneh, general engage ment Is apparently as far off as ever, and no one now discusses the subject.
 A number of commanders are drilling their men as in time of 1seace.
 More interest is expressed here in the fate of Port Arthur and it's ability to hold out against the Japanese than in what is happening at close quarters. There have been the usual small skir- mishes. Vilmanstranki's sharpshooters took a Japanese advanced position Sat urday driving out the Japanese at the point of the bayonet. The latter left twenty dead and the Russian loss was three. The Japanese attacked the Rus sian lines at several places, taking ad- vantage of the snow storm on one occa- sion, but in all cases were repulsed.,
 The village of Erdagou continues to be the scene of frequent small fights. The Japanese made a tentative attack there on November 25, but did not at tempt to push home the attack in the face of the Russian artillery ire.

zsMsTYo CONGRESS 4 FAILURr.
Prediction of Russian statesman--Afuch
 Depends on War.

SRchMs OAA ndLs
 St. Petersburg, Nov. 27.-One of the most commanding figures and far-see- ing statesmen of the empire, whose opinion is of the highest value, but who has declined to permit the use of his name, in conversation with the Associ- ated Press to-day expressed the dis tinct conviction that nothing in the na- ture of a radical change in the existing order of things would result from the zemstvo congress. The statesman. 1t can be stated, is a firm believer in the principle of autocracy as the best sys- tenn of government for the realization of the dream of the Slav race, and what he believes to bethe great destiny of the most popuIous nation and vast est empire in the world; but he has himself, in fact, favored liberal policy, and is now too practical minded not to appreciate the factors which threaten the present regime. Still, he does not believe that anything like crisis now confronts the government. In his opin- ion everything depends upon the war.
 The war" the statesman said, "is a big interrogation point for Russia. Her future at home and abroad Is involved in the issue. The internal situation is very complicated. The action of the zemstyo representatives Is symptom of the disease from which Russia suf- fers, but these few men have not nec- essarily made a correct diagnosis, or of fered the true remedy"

 None of the party had retired when the train left the exposition grounds, and Just before the signal was given to the enginees to start on the return journey, President Roosevelt walked to the rear observation platform, where he was joined by the other gentlemen in the party.
 About the car were stationed nearly hundred members of the local police force, besides the two companies of reg ulars that have formed the presidents guard during his visit to the worlds fair President Roosevelt said;
 T thank you gentlemen for the kind attention you have shown me during my visit to St. Louis and appreciate 1t very much.''
 Just as the train started, President Roosevelt called, Good night all,' as did all the other members of the party who were on the platform.
 The same precautions were taken to guard the departure of the presidential special from accidents as were taken on it's arrival. A pilot engine preceded 1t out Of the administration entrance to the Worlds fair grounds and over the tracks of the Rock Island system to Union Boulevard Junction, where the train proceeded over the tracks of the Wabash to the Union station yards, There the special was taken in charge by the St. Louis Terminal Railroad as sociation,
 The tunnel route was avoided by talk ing the train over the Merchants bridge instead of crossing the Mississ- ippi on the Eads bridge. From the eastern end of the Merchants bridge the train was taken ovcr the tracks of the Illinois Transfer company to the Willows, where 1t was switched to the tracks of the VandaIia railroad. and then the run to the nations capital really began

 We have earned throughout our his- tory the reputation of being an un- stable ally. We abandoned Prince Eu- gene, and we abandoned Frederick the Great in the midst of a joint war. I can forgive Japanese who, seeing us run a torpedo boat to Russia, supply the Russian fleet with Welsh coal and allow that fleet to coal at Port Said, be- lieves we are following our worst tradi- tions."
