macy to head the nations in a con-
current effort to preserve the integ-

as possible and to respect the neutral
ity and administrative entity of Chi.
ma will be accepted by Russia and
Japan and all the nations will join
the Washington government in invit-
ing the combatants to agree to the
proposition.
NJ. Jusserand, the French ambassa-
dor, has called upon Secretary Hay at
his residence to inform him officially
of Frances acceptance. and inferential-
ly it is known that Russias acquies-
cence will be communicated very soon.
At the Russian embassy no intimation

No official definition has yet been
given to the term administrative en-

will be necessary to execute Secre-
tary hays proposition, but that an
exchange Of notes will sumce.
Russia's decision to acquiesce was
reached after a consultation with sew

stood that NJ. Delcasse brought strong
pressure to bear at St. Petersburg
in support of the note and that Ambas-

The London government, it is ex-
pected, will not be inclined further to
inquire as to the details of the propo-

days that England adhered to the
principle.
The formal acceptance of the other
powers, it is expected, will follow rap

is assured by the decision of Russia

trial for his life for the murder Of
Helen Kelly, a II year old girl, on

Drove the Knife Into His Throat.
With this statement he drove the
knife to the hilt into the left side OF
his throat, and was in the act of re-
peating the deed when grapped with

he refused to do saying he wished to
