Zeitung" says that n remarkable fca-
ture Of the war in the Far East Is the
universal unfriendliness TO Russia.
Both England and America openly re-
joice at the defeat of Russia by the
japanese. The ''Zeitung' also says that
Austria and Italy are secretly delight ed
at the failure Of the Russian arms. Is
they are anticipating the seizure o.
Russia's Balkan heritage
Germany would. the paper states, be
glad to supplant Russian influence at
Constantinople, while France is so
weakly Russophile. that If England
aided Japan in her war with Russia.
France would cancel her treat with
the latter power rather than fieft.
The result of the war will be. there
fore, declares the "Zeitung," that Rus
sia's power Will be crippled for n

THEIR HEROIC METHODS
ALONE SAVED HANNA

ployed by the physicians on Friday
afternoon to revive Senator Hanna
when it seemed as If life had de-
parted and his heart ceased to beat

shortly before o'clock, and after
the sinking spell which caused so
much alarm that the three physi-
clans in attendance were doing ev-
erything in their power to keep life
in his body. when the temperature.
which was then 1O4. and the respira-
tion somewhere in the twenties and
the pulse 115. suddenly fell. the
respiration apparently ceased and
the pulse was nil
In fact. the doctors thought the
heart had ceased to beat entirely.
/ and that the patient was not breath
ing at all. They knew that heroic
measures We're necessary to revive
him il he was to live, and the pa
tient was pulled out of bed. thrown
upon the floor. the shock being in
tended to cause a reaction One Of
the physicians took both of his
wrists in his hands. while another
rested his head upon the abdomen.
and the third placed his mouth at
the Senator's ear. The doctor at
the arms began working them up
and down to create artificial respira
ton, the physician shouted in mis-
ear at the proper moment: Now
breather' the nurse meanwhile ad-
ministering the oxygen.
-Four times was this action re-
peatea. each time the doetor usins
hypnotic suggestion. commanding him
to breathe louder each time. and at
the fourth movement of the arms
and diaphragm the Senator. yielding
10 the hypnotic command, drew a
long breath and lived again. As
the respiration was restored, tho
doctors carefully lifted the patient
back into bed.

no one can tell. nor can it be foretold
how much longer than IS hours the
fever may last. II now all depends
upon the Senator's powers OF resistanc ce
and the duration OF the fever.
The Senator Is Game.
The Senator himself shows great in
terest in the fight that IS being made
for him. When he asks any questions
1t Is on the subject Of efforts made in
that direction. His gameness has been
a source Of qualification TO his ply

greatly assisted thereby. He has shown
no apathy at any time today

Important Results.

The most important effect OF the ac-

item, however, lies in the probability
that it fOretells the attitude Of Congress
toward the night school plans for next

age limit Of twenty-one years. change
The Times has continually advocated as
desirable from every point of view. With
the approval OF Congress thus given TO
the night school idea for Washington in

work going until the end of the present
year, IL is now believed the agitation for
the broadening Of the work will soon be
! successful. This viii have to be pro-
