HOPES TO
 MAKE BOND Mrs. Chadwick Still in
 TOmbS. HER HEALTH IMPROVING Reported That BondSman Has
 Been Found. Rumored That pr. Chadwick Has Civ. en Herbert Newton Fraudulent . Cheeks Which May Figure In - International Proceedinss.

Flew York. Dec. 10.-Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick is still confined in cell In the Tombs. -
 - Philip Carpenter. her attorney. in- formed the Associated Press tonight that she would not go to Cleveland be- fore Monday and the belief Is preva- lent that she will not go to the Ohio city without fight. Her counsel both here and in Ohio united in opposing her voluntary departure from New York. It was said late tonight that a. bondsman has been found who will qualify in $15,o00 the amount of bail demanded by United States Commis- sioner Shields.
 The name of the person will not be made public until Monday when. 1t is said. he will sign the bond
 | The matter. according to the author ity for the statement. could have been settled today but Mrs. Chadwick de- sired to remain in the Tombs over Sun day that she might have more time to consider her future action. Several men would have given the necessary bail had they been able to do so with out their names becoming public. but the law states that the identity of the bondshan cannot be kept secret. It Is also contrary to the courts ruling for a lawyer tO give Ddll TOT HIS CilcHt
 Mrs. Chadwick remained quietly in her cell today, receiving no callers oth- CT than her counsel, son and nurse. She availed herself of the privilege which allows prisoners to exercise in the cor ridor during certain hours. and also read the papers, besides receiving sev- eral letters and telegrams.
 Relieved from the nervous tension which preceded her arrest, Mrs. Chad wick Is regaining her normal physi- cal condition. She had a severe attack of illness in the afternoon. but readily responded to treatment. and is much better tonight. Her appetite is good and she ate three hearty meals today
 Just what has become of the money Mrs Chadwick is alleged to have rals- ed O nloans. is a question which Is m- teresftng the persons. connected with the case. It has been claimed that tlrfas }. drs seo she settled s2.5oo,ooo on her hus and, Dr. Leroy &. Chadwick, and that since that time she has bor- rowed over s500.000 A rumor Is cur rent tonight that efforts will be made at once to locate Dr. Chadwick and his daughter, who sailed for Havre. France, on the steamer Savoie from this port November 3. They have been reported from several places in Europe, but Mrs. Chadwick and her attorneys nave kep- their exact whereabouts secret.
 Another matter of interest In the case is the statement that Dr. Chad wick is said to have given Herbert D. Newton of Brookline, Mass, two checks aggregating 0,000. in part payment for his wifes indebtedness. which are alleged to have come back from the bank on which they were drawn stamp ed without funds"
 It was intimated today that if Dr. Chadwick dces not return from Europe soon, these checks may figure in inter- national proceedings.

FRIENDSHIP EXISTS.
Kuropntkin and Terauchi Have Ex-
 changed Swords.

chapKed SWOrns.
 Tokio, Nov S.-(CorrespOndence of the Associated Press,)-An interesting story of the great struggle at arms between Japan and Russia lies in a long established personal friendship between General Terauchi Minister of War of Jcran and General Kuropatki com mander in chief of the two Russian ar mics in Manchuria, and an exchange of swords as presents between them on the eve of war.
 Kuropatkin and. Tereauchi met in Paris twenty years ago. Tereauchi. then a major, was military attache to eral at that time, went to France to capital. and Kuropatkin. a major gen eral at that time, went to Franche to observe the military moneuvres. The two soldiers met first officially and there soon sprang up between them a feeling of warm friendship and re- gard They parted in Paris and did not meet until Kuropatkin came to Japan last year. The lapse of years had brought increased rank and Cab inet portfolios for both and their re- union was an interesting one
 Events were then moving rapidly to- ward war, but the rupture had not come and the two ministers met as friends and freely enjoyed the reunion. When Kuropatkin was about to leave Japan for home. Tereauchi presented him with a Japanese sword. an old blade of the finest workmanship and with an interesting history. When ne reached St Petersburg, Kuropatkin gave an order for the manufacture of a Russian sword for his friend Terau- chi.
 It was finished and despatched in Dc cember and reached the Japanese capi- tai a week before Togo's guns opened fire on Port Arthur. somewhat pc c,,iiar thing about the Russian sword fs that 1t reached Tokio with the blade keenly sharped. custom followed by officers as rule only In time of war

to Secretary Hay.
 Washington. Dec. 10.--As President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, Rep- resentative Bartholdt of Missouri to. day brought to. the attention of Secre- tary Hay the resolution adopted by the Union at St. Louis September 13, urg- ing the powers who signed The Hague treaty of arbitration to intervene for the stoppage of the war between Rus sia and Japan.
 MT. BarthoIdt suggested the propri- ety of the United States taking the in- itiative in urging a cessation of hostil- ities and he pointed out that the treaty which was signed by Russia and orig inally suggested by that power con- tained a provision that intervention by a third power should not be considered an unfriendly act.
 He contended that in resenting the proposal for mediation Russia has vio- lated not only the spirit, but the iettsr of this compact. Secretary Hay prom ised to bring the action of the Union to the attention of the President at an early date. -5
 In accordance with the agreement arr rived at when the resolution was adopted it will be presented to the authorities of all the powers which signed the treaty. Following is the full text of the resolution as translat- ed from the original French and pre- sented to Mir. Hay:
 The Inter-PS PS>iiamentary Confer ence. shocked by the horrors of the war which Is now being waged in the ex- treme Orient between two civilized na- tions and regretting that the signatory powers of The Hague treaty have faii- ed to remember the clause which in- vites them to offer their mediation on the outbreak of hostilities. now request those signatory powers of The Hague | treaty to intervene, either collectively | or individually, between the belliger- ents. in order to hasten the re-estah- lishment of peace. and direct the inter parliamentary bureau to bring this res- olution to the attention of said pow | erS

These copies were sup piled to the secretary of the Commerce Committee on the spot tt

 The hearing occupied hardly an hour, but 1t was animated and to the point. and undoubtedly made an excellent irn- precision. Each of the Senators com mended the tact and intelligence with which the subject was presented
 It was a bad day for the members of the American House of Lords to. be out. of doors. for 1t showed all day and blew in blizzard gusts None was moro interested. than Senator Berry. himself a native of Alabama, who braveds the storm, despite the peril to his remain ing leg. and the hazard of crutches on the fey walks.
 The river representatives were much disappointed at the failure of the House subcommittee to be on hand but, hoping for the recovery of Chair. man Burton by Monday they will not give up the hope of recognition In that quarter and will take chances Of re- maining for hearing next week be- fore the House Rivers and ffarbors Committees subcommittee ar> ss

ROOSEVELT CRITICISED.
Andrew D. White Didn't Like His In-
 terfereuce.

New York. Del. 10.-"Much as I ad- mire President Roosevelt as a true man. we have seen today the sorry example of the mistake a strong man can make. The President was appealed to by col ored Baptist minister to save the lat ter's son from the gallows for the mur- der of a farmer in Canada.
 The President listened to the appeal and has succeeded in securing com- mutation of the sentence. I don't ad- mire the President for that"
 This statement was made today by Andrew D. White. formerly United States Ambassador to Germany in the course of an address on Evolution versus Revolution in Politics" before the League for Political Education.
 MT. White had declared that high crime Is more frequent in this country than anywhere else in the world, save Sicily, and that there Is a widespread superstition that 1t Is the duty of the people to protect criminals. It was in calling attention to what he termed the mistaken leniency that the former Ambassador referred to President Roosevelt.

and among the few who knew or the existence of the weapon there has been much discussion as to why 1t was sharpened. The sword is handsome weapon. Shaped more like a sabre than the conventional sword of the time. it has handle of gold and the black scabbard in which 1t rests IS tipped with gold. Despite the gun that divides the two peoples, despite the facts that their soldiers and skill are pitted in a gigantic struggle. Te- reauchi speaks fondly and respectfully of his old soldier friend. Indeed. throughout all Japan. Kuropatkin is held in distinct respect by the people at large.
