D. Bowdle of Ludlow avenue, clifton,
this city, is dead, and her husband
and two daughters are seriously i'll
from poison which the coroner and the
attending physicians say is arsenic,
and which was eaten in breakfast
food this morning.

Mrs. Bowdle herself presared the
breakfast food which contained the
poison. Two vessels were found in
the pantry, which contained the food.
One was poisoned for rats and the
other filled with good food. 1t is the
theory of the police that Mrs. Bowdle,
by mistake. took the wrong dish.

FINDS THE HEATHEN
CHINEE PECULIAR.

St Petersburg, March 19.-The gov
ernment's private information is not
completely reassuring as regards Chi
mas sincerity in observing a neutral
attitude. Secret advices indicate that
at least a powerful party in the Chi
nese government is abetting the Jap
anese. Although at first reluctant to
credit these reports. the Russian au-
thorities continue to receive evidence
that the Japanese contemplate landing
on Chinese neutral territory west of
the Lao river, and 1900 men are be-
ing held especially to await develop
ments in that direction.
Moreover, the Emperor's naval ex-
perts, who have been studying care
fully the puzzle as to where wee Ad-
miral Togo's fleet is coaling and pro-
visioning, between its appearance on
Port Arthur, are becoming more and
more convinced that it is using as
base some quiet spot on the Chinese
coast.

L0UBET EVIDENTLY NOT
GOING TO THE VATICAN.
1t Is Believed He Will Not Call Upon

1t Is Believed He Will Not Call Upon
the Pope.
Paris, March 19.-The Pope's caustic
criticism of French politics. in the
course of his address to the cardinals
yesterday, is receiving serious atten-
ton in the highest quarters here.
The remarks of the Pope give addi-
tional certainty that M. Loubet will
not make call at the Vatican during
his coming visit to Rome. The plans
for the presidential trip are now prac-
tically made up. They include mil
itary review in Rome. a naval review
at Naples and number of brilliant
lesser functions. but there is no men
ton of the Vatican.
A prominent parsonage says Presi-
dent Loubet will go to Rome more like
Charlemagne, as a representative of
authority instead of dependence. The
visit will also be notable in breaking
the long standing custom that the visit
of the ruler of a Catholic country to
Rome is required visit to the Vati-
can.

BOER WAR ISLANDERS
HELD AGAINST HALES.

Toxic, March 19.--The British min
lister refuses to indorse the application
Of HaIes. the correspondent Of the
Daily News, to accompany the Japa-
nese army. giving as his reason that
reports Hales sent from the Transvaal
during the Boer war were slanderous
of the British army. The Japanese gov
eminent requires that all correspond
ents should have the Endorsement OF
the resident minister OF the countries
they represent. Hales will. therefore,
be excluded from all connection with
the army movement.

STAFF ORDERS SHOW
ADVANCE OF JAPANESE.

st. Petersburg, March 19.-Staff or
ders issued at Hardin, which have just
arrived here by mail, show that Japa-
nese troops have moved much further
north than was supposed, Gen. Tin
cheng having concentrated 5000 men
at Bodune, which is only 100 miles
west of Hardin. Gen. Ma having 10000
at Kaupantze, while another 5000 are
at Tsin Min Tun, and 10000 at Ichau,
all points bordering upon the zone of
Russian military operations. These or
ders are also significant, inasmuch as
they lay stress upon the holding aloof
of the Chinese officials in Manchuria,
the civil governor al Mukden having
forbidden the Chinese to supply cattle,
food or fodder to the Russians.

ator Bailey has a good many strong
friends and supporters, and his name
is being daily discussed at the Capt.
toll.
Wants Bailey.
Representative Johnson of South Car
DINA boldly announces his preference
for Senator Bailey. Mr.. Johnson says
he is sick and tired to sit around on
the anxious bench waiting to hear
what New York wants.
II am for Senator Bailey because
he has demonstrated his ability as a
leader and a level-headed statesman.
If the Democratic party ii successful
at the polls in November Senator Bal
ley is capable of presiding at the White
House with honor and credit to the
Democratic party. If we are to go
down to defeat again we will not have
to apologize for Senator Bailey as our
standard bearer"
Several Southern congressman who
were present applauded the sentiment
of Mr.. Johnson.
Almost every Democratic senator or
representative who has been sounded
on the political situation during the
past week has advocated the nominal
ton of a conservative man. They in
sist, however, that he shall have been
loyal to the party at all times. and
lilSy are WiilnB TO SINK Lnelr personal
preferences in the interests of united

Pettus' Position.
Senator Pettus, the venerable states
man from Alabama, expresses the SEN
timent of a majority of the Southern
Democrats in Congress when he says:
Il have no personal preference. /
do, however, want a man who is a
clean Democrat and who had stood
Loyalty by the party back in the nine
ties, such a man who win unite the
Democratic party will, in my judg-
ment, be elected. Now is the time for
such a man to get out and show him
self. We need a leader who can stand
under the searchlight of public opinion
and we do not want man who has
to buy his nomination"
1t is evident that the Democratic
leaders have determined to put to the
front Judge Parker as a pace-maker.
If he can satisfy the men who have
the best interests of the party at heart
that he is the most desirable man to
unite upon, word of that effect will he
past down the line and all elements
will be urged to get together on
Parker.

SAYS CHINESE TROOPS
MENACE THE RUSSIANS.

Paris, March 20.-The Figaro's cor
respondent in Berlin telegraphs that
a German officer, who has just ar
rived there from Manchuria, says Sc
rious operations in the Far East will
not be begun before the end of June.
The principal obstacle to Russian vic
tory, according to the officer, is the
fact that 10000 Chinese troops, well
csc instructors, are menacing Russia's
lines of communication. Russia, with
the support of Germany, will protest
against this concentration of Chinese
troops.

conducting evolutions on the plain
about the fort.
