French Minister Arranged North Sea
Incident Hearing.
REPUBLICS PEACE AT STAKE.
Opportunity Came When RoJestVen-
sky Raised Issue of Fact-DeIcasse
Made Suggestion of Both Ma
tons.

st. Petersburg. Nov. 1.-The world
will doubtless take particular satisfac-
ton in according Emperor Nicholas
to whose initiative The Hague con-
vention owed its existence, the honor
and credit of having proposed an hon
orable solution of the North sea Incl
dent, which might have plunged Rus
STA and Great Britain into war by an
appeal to it's rules. Nevertheless, it
is learned on very high authority that
this diplomatic triumph belongs to
NJ. DeIcasse, the French foreign min
lister. When the Yellow Book of
France and the Blue Book of Great
Britain covering this Incident are is
sued, some very interesting diplomat
ic history will be disclosed.
The great gravity of the situation.
especially in Great Britain, where the
inflamed state of public opinion might
at any moment driven the government
to extreme measures, and the danger
involved in delay were keenly appre-
ciated in the French capital, Frances
stake is almost equal to that of the
parties directly in interest, and the
volved, as a rupture between Great
Britain and Russia, eventuating in
war by putting Great Britain and ia
pan in the position of making common
cause against Russia, would inevitably
result in an appeal to France to full
fill her obligations under the final dual
alliance.
NJ. Delcasse, therefore. at the very
outset, went earnestly to work as a
friend of both countries to find an eq-
uitable basis Of adjustment The op-
portunity came when Admiral Ro-
| jestvensky's report raised a direct is
sue of fact. NJ. Delcasse at once sug-
gested an inquiry to establish the
facts through an international com
mission under The Hague convention
| offering the suggestion simultaneous
ly to both governments, through Am
| bassador Cmbon to Foreign Minister
Lansdowne and through Secretary
Bourtieron in Ambassador Bompard' s
absence to Count Lamsdorff.

PHANTOM FOES.
Russian Officers, Panic Stricken, Made
an Awful BIunder,

London, Oct. 2S.-There is no sign
as to when Admiral Rojestvensky's re-
port will be made public, but if unof-
fetal reports should turn out to reflect
the admiraPs official report, it is evil
dent that the Russian officers made an
extraordinary blunder in installing
trawlers for torpedo boats and fired
en- their phantom foes. This aston
1shing explanation is regarded here as
not fitting i'll with the state of panic
suggested as having prevailed among
the officers of the Baltic fleet; and in
that case it is suggested that the Rus
sian government should find no diff
Guilty in removing or otherwise pun
ishing the officers responsible.
The newspapers this morning evince
more heat and impotence than here
tofore at Russia's delay, which is con-
sidered absolutely ihdefensibIe in the

STOPPED CRUELTY OF INDIAN.
Incident of the Ranchins Days of the
President.

President.
Prof Brander Matthews tells his
English literature cla5s the following
incident of President Roosevelt's ca
reer as ranchman which was told to
him by the president himself:
An Indian on a tired pony loped
past the Roosevelt ranch one day. The
pony gave out completely as it neared
the point where the future president
was watching the proceedings. The
Indian leaped to the ground, kicked
the pony to a standing position, tore
of the saddle, and, picking up hand
full of gravel prepared to rub it into
the fatigued beasts tender back pre-
paratory to strapping the saddle on
over the Jumps of stone. This is a
common Indian trick for reviving tired
horses, but in the PRESENT instance it
failed. The amazed Indian was sud
denly seized by the future president
and ordered to remove the gravel and
to pasture the pony until the worn out
beast should be sufficiently rested to
go on.
The surprised savage dared not dis
obey the stern order Remembering
the incident, nowadays poor 10 doubt
less fails to connect the nervous, in
dignant ranchman with The White
Father at Washington. New York

Enough to Deceive Doctor.


The patient was feeling so much
better that she insisted on rising with
the family and dressing. After break
fast her daughter declared that she
must undress and get into bed, as the
doctor had ordered that she stay in
bed three or four days.
''Therei l see the doctors carriage

''Undress as quickly as you can and
I'll keep the doctor talking until you
are ready"
The mother hurried into the bed
room and the daughter went to the
door. For few minutes the daugh-
ter exerted herself to entertain the
physician and then her mother called
out: I'm ready now to see DR..

The doctor gravely took the wo-
mans pulse, listened to her breath
ings and did various other wise things.
and then said:
II should like to examine your feet,
Mrs. A, to see if they are swollen"
The patient gasped.

she said.
But 1 assure you it is said the
physician gravely.
