HARD TO GET
OUT OF SING SING.

Ossining, N. Y, Nov. 21.-Charles
w. Johnson, the prisoner serving a
life sentence for murder, who was
missing in Sing Sing prison Saturday
evening, was caught late tonight by
a ruse. 1t was not believed in the
prison that he had got outside the
walls, but he had.
At 1920 o'clock tonight the big
whistle in the prison. sounded 20. X. -
This meant that search had been aban-
doned and that the guards who were
watching the roads might come in.
The Gordon of guards and keepers had
been instructed to remain on the alert
until single blast was sounded on
the whistle.
The blast came within fifteen minutes
after 20. X" sounded. Johnson had
climbed the iron fence, which is the
western boundary of the prison, drop
ped into the riveb. had swum outward
beyond the north wall and then up the
river to the dock just north of the
north wall and had concealed himself
under the dock. His sufferings since
Saturday must have been fearful, but
he remained concealed until ten min
utes after the 20. X" whistle sounded.
Then he was sighted climbing up the
piling and was seen to drag himself
onto the dock. He lay there exhausted
and when he started to struggle to his
feet two guards seized him.

ADDRESS TO PROJECTS.
Premier COmbes Tells What Is Ex-
pected of Them.

Paris, Nov. 21.-The text of circu-
lar addressed by Premier Combes to
projects throughout the country is
published tonight. The Premier says
the government expects the projects to
furnish necessary information spon-
taneously or at the request of any
minister but instructs that informa-
ton be sought only from holders of
political elective offices. The circular
insists that the information be impair
tial and carefully verified, adding that
it must not be communicated to any
one except departmental superiors.
This circular is intended to restore
confidence which has been shaken by
the employment of army officers to spy
on each other and the communication
of results to Masonic lodges. NJ De-
Manson, formerly Minister of Marine
and a high Mason, resigned from his
lodge, owing to his disapproval of the
recent revelations of the political
methods of leading Masons.

Serious Conditions Reported In That
Country,

London, Nov. 21.-A serious state Of

from Van, Oct. 26, Dr. Reynolds says:
Both the political and economic con-
ditions are very unsatisfactory. Pow
erty has greatly increased, business is
pretty much at a standstill, and to
crown all. the revolutionists are so
much in evidence that the people are
in constant fear lest another massacre.
be precpitated. At the beginning of
September, Van was, brought to the
verge of massacre and more recently
an important village has been looted
and burned, with twenty or more per-
sons killed. So you see the prospects

POWERS FALL IN WITH
THE PEACE SUGGESTION.

Washington, Nov. 21.-One by one
the powers are lining up in hearty sup

slider is the effect of war on the rights

band of war.
