Mrs. George S. Browne, returned TO her
home in Champaign from Peoria to-day

nOtism. She claims that while walking
along the street in Champaign Friday

men, OF whom said something to her
which she did not understand. She asserts
that that is all she knew until she found
herself in strange depot. She inquired of
the station agent where she was, and was
told that she was in the Union Depot at
Peoria. She was badly frightened. but ran
TO the home of her sister, Mrs. William
Perham, who lives in that city. Arriving
there she fell in a faint, and il was some
time before she could be revived. She then
told her strange story TO the police. who
examined the station agent and the con-
ductor of the train. Both gave descriptions
of the two men, who. they claimed had
charge of the girl, which tailed with those
given by the girl herself The station agent
stated that the two men had gone out of
the door before the girl left. Mrs Browne,
the mother OF the girl, notified and
went TO Peoria Friday evening, where she
found her daughter in a very nervous state
No motive OF the seeming kidnapping can
be discovered.

STATUS OF THE FAR EAST
NEGOTIATIONS REVIEWED
BY RUSSIAN AUTHORITY
Japan Now Demanding a Neutral
Zone on Manchuria'S Side
Of Korea.
KOREANS NOT ALARMED
Their Independence Is Not Affect
ed by the Dispute Between
Japan and Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1s.-The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent, on high author
ity, is able to give the following as the
present status of the negotiations between
Russia and Japan: Russia recognizes ia
pans prominence in Korea and japan rec
Ognizes Russia's special position in Man
churia. There are two main questions still
at issue-the Russian demand for neutral
zone on the Korean side of the Yalu river
which Japan met with a proposal for the
similar neutral strip the Manchurian
side. Japan also asks for certain guaran-
tees covering Manchuria which Russia thus
far has declined to grant. 1t Is pointed out,
however, that the assurances given few
days ago by Russia regarding OPEN ports
in Manchuria and respect for treaty rights
Is a concession on this point
That the two countries are not so far apart
may be fairly inferred from the following
statement made by Mr.. KurinO. the Japan
csc minister to the Associated Press corre-
spondent: War would now only be disas-
trous TO both countries Owing to the geo.
graphical situation an armed conflict would
result in great drain of the men and treas
ures of both Japan and Russia without be-
ing decisive. Besides, l believe ii would not
be worth while to go TO war on the ques-
tions in dispute.

JACQUES |, EMPEROR OF
SAHARA, WANTS OFFICERS
Will Invite President Roosevelt to
Name Rough Riders for
Commissions.
ARABS AND SAHARANS
Will Compose His Body Guard,
but He Desires Americans to
Command Them.

LONDON, Jan. 1S-The development of
Jacques Lebaudys Empire of Sahara" is
about to take a turn which will be of some
interest to the United States. NJ. Lebaudy
has decided to draw the officers and nom
commissioned officers for two battalions of
imperial life guards from Great Britain and
the United States, and in pursuance of this
idea he will submit to President Roosevelt
an invitation to name any officers of his for
mer Rough Riders whom he can personally
recommend for commissions.
Colonel George Goruraud. Thomas A Edi-
sons representative In England for many
years, who as governor general of Sahara is
organizing military establishment for NJ.
Press THE invitation to recommend officers
Will be submitted to President Roosevelt I'm
a few days. Whether the President will
consider it proper to accept the invitation or
not, the Emperor wishes TO pay him this
compliment. The imperial life guards will
consist of two battalons. The first will be
officered exclusively by Americans. prefer
ably from Rough Riders, and the second by
retired officers and noncommissioned officers
of the Seventeenth English Lancers and the
Royal Horse Artillery. These battalons will
constitute the Emperors personal body
guard. The troopers will be composed OF
Arabs and native Saharans, who are among
the finest riders in the world.
''It is proposed, besides the formation OF
the battalions of life guards, to organize
Sahara constabulary which will police
the country somewhat along the lines OF
the Canadian Northwest mounted police.
This constabulary will be composed wholly
of American negroes. but whether under
white or colored officers, has not yet been
decided. The management of the entire
force will be I'm the hands of n retired
British army officer who has been select
ed-a man with an unsurpassed war record.
Extensive farm lands will be also located
on which such officers and men of the con-
Stabulary can obtain homestead rights AZ
they choose, at the end Of the period of in
liStment.
I'VE purpose also to encourage the emf
grafton of the American negroes to the new
empire, selecting only approved settlers,
who will be chosen by thoroughly reliable
agents scattered throughout the United
States. Personally, | believe this scheme
will secure the support of the American
negroes 70 extent to which no other
emigration plan has ever attained. 1t will
not involve the taking of them to a pure
ly negro colony, but will settle them in a
new and prosperous land with mixed white
and black population"

KOREAN INDEPENDENCE
Has NOT BEEN PERILED

PARIS Jan. 1s.-Prince Min Yeung
Tohan, the Korean minister, in an inter-
view to-day said concerning the proposed
Russian-Japanese zones of influence in
Korea "The various plans of Russia and
Japan do not affect us seriously. so long as
our independence is not touched. This in
dependence that the powers throughout the
world have recognized during the last
twenty years by concluding treaties, and
which China, our former suzereign, has
heretofore recognized, is not now menaced
and there is no proposition looking to the
annexation of Korea, and not even for a
protectorate. Our governmental autonomy
is respected amid all the controversies. and
the final agreement which | believe will be
arrived at will not overcome the autonomy
of our people. We have no hostility to for
eigners, as is evident from our granting the
Japanese a concession for a railroad from
Seoul to Fusan, and to Americans a conces-
sion to operate electric tramways The
march Of modern improvements has not
been fast, but it is going slowly and surely
ahead"
Asked.if Korea would address the powers,
giving her Interpretation of the Russo
Japanese accord touching Korea, if il is
arrived at, the minister said it was possible
and even probable, since Korea, a bove all
desired ii to be clearly understood that an
accord giving spheres of foreign activity
would leave Korean autonomy and SOW
ereignty undiminished.

DOLLAR DINNER SPEECH

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 1s.-A formal well
come to William ]. Bryan on his return
from Europe, taking the form of a dollar
dinner" was held tonight and was attended
by nearly 700 Democrats. His speech, which
was extended, was given close attention and
heartily applauded, his declaration that the
Kansas City platform was sound in every
plank and must be reiterated, together with

Mr.. Bryan was introduced by the toast
master as ''Monsgneur Bryan" distin-
guished foreign envoy, who had come to
study political methods in the western
world. Mr.. Bryan spoke on The Moral Is
sue" Here are sentences from his speech:
rs 1t strange that money is used TO carry
elections? If a party makes certain classes
rich by law, will it not naturally turn to
those classes for contributions during the
campaign? If Congress votes millions Of
dollars annually to tariff barons, money
magnates and monopolists, is il not natural
that aldermen should traffic In the small
legislation of a city council? And If officials
high and low use the government as If II
were a private asset is IL surprising that
many individuals who are without official
position, yield to the temptation to sell
the only political influence they have,
namely. the ballot? What is the remedy? =?
There is but one remedy-an appeal to the
moral sense of the country-an awakening
Of public conscience.
"The Kansas City platform is sound in
every plank and the first act of the next
Democratic convention should be to re-
affirm it in it's entirety, and its next act
should be the addition of new planks in
harmony with il and covering such new
questions demand consideration.
Then, the convention should select can
didates who believe in the platform-can-
didates whose Democracy will not be an

the Circuit Court to-day held that medi-
cal college had no jurisdiction over the
heart affairs of it's students and could not

gee, L. T., class of 1903, who entered the
college in October 1900. Ii was alleged as a
reason for Withholding the diploma that

whom he afterward quarreled. and that
she. through revenge, told of their love af-
fair TO the college faculty This was be-
fore York s class was to graduate. and he
was expelled and diploma refused. The
writ of mandamus was granted.
