PARIS. March 2.-Gabriel Hanotaux,
former Minister of Foreign Affairs, has
started an agitation in favor Of inter
S'erition by the powers TO stop the wah
between Russia and Japan. tits believ-
ed that the Russians would be glad Of
such a good excuse to end the strug-

an Intervention movement. if II were
thought the Czsr would approve. It is
recognized, however. that France and

in that case the movement would be
interpreted as anti British.
The intervenOrs, therefore, hope TO.
obtain American support in their ae-
lions, and, eventually. support from
Great Britain as well, through the good
Offices of Washington.
French official circles count much
upon the new movement, as they be-

TO accept the good offices Of all the
powers provided it were a combined ef-
fort thus compelling Japan 10 do the

should the appeal for intervention be
universal one, could accept with good
grace. as giving way TO. the consensus

BERLIN, March 2.-The. Taegliscne
Rundschau reports that Russia is ON
the verge of revolution. Local out
breaks have occurred among students
and urban workers and peasants. NJ
de PIehwe, Minister Of the Interior
regards the peasantry as IN most

Starving rustics, continues the Rund-

United States.
The officials of the United States en-
bassy share the views of the officers
of the canal company that there is
nothing now in the way of the actual
transference of the concession and the
company's property. At recent confer
ences between ambassador Porter and
President Bo of the canal company, the
President pointed out tat two suits
are now pending-one involving Colom-
the general question of the company's
right to transfer it's concession to the
United States.
M. Bo was inclined TO believe one
and perhaps both suits might be pro-
tracted several months, but General
Porter was satisfied. after hearing M.
Bo, that even if the suits are continued
they do not constitute any menace to
the United States, requiring putting off
the transfer If this view prevails at
Washington it is expected that the
details of the transfer will soon be ar
ranged through the canal scompany's
representatives there.
WASHINGTON, March "A con-
clusion of the negotiations of the title
to the Panama canal property is in
sight. Within thirty days, perhaps in
a shorter time, the United States will
be in full possession of the property
and the money consideration will have
been paid to both the republic of Pan
anna and to the new Panama Canal
Company.
Attorney General Knox said to-day:
81 have advised the President that
he is authorized to pay at once to the
Government of Panama the $4,000, 900
provided for by the treaty. Also that
he is authorized to pay to the New
Panama Canal Company the $40. 600 900
which, under the agreement between
the United States and that company
We are to pay for its property. and have
notified the canal company we are
ready to close the transaction.
THE details in connection with the
transfer of the canal company's prop
erty should not require more than
thirty days"

NEW MYSTERY
STALLS POLICE

The police are working on a new
mystery and as usual are doing all
they can to increase the difficulty of
its solution.
Last week a young Swedish woman
came to this city to visit her sister,
domestic in the family of B. D. Mer-
chant at 928 Van Ness avenue. Her
home is said to be in San Jose, where
the Merchants lived until about four
months ago. The young woman's
throat was ailing, and on Thursday
she called at a drug store to ask
where she could find a physician to
treat her complaint. According to her
statement made later to her sister,
the Merchants servant, this drug
store was somewhere in the vicinity
of Devisadero and California streets,
and she was there advised to consult
a certain DIR. Winslow' at an address
which the sister cannot now recall.
On Friday afternoon she left her sis
ter at the Merchants home, saying
she was going out to consult DR.. Win
slow. She has not been seen since
and no word from or regarding her
has been received by her friends.
Mrs. Merchant communicated the
facts of the case yesterday to Dr..
James w. Ward, the president of the
Health Board, and on his advice she
reported the matter to the police. De-
tectives were at once assigned to work
on the mystery, but as yet they have
found no trace of the missing woman.
At police headquarters every precau-
tIon is being taken to keep the facts
secret.
There are many drugstores in the
vicinity of California and Devisadero
streets, but at Hoover's, on the north
west corner of the street crossing
named, it was denied last evening that
any such young woman had applied
there for information as to a physician
who would treat her case. DR.. Ward
said last night that he knew of no ply
sician named Winslow in San Fran
cisco. The city directory gives no such
name in it's list of physicians.
Mr.. Merchant, in whose family the
young woman's sister lives, declined
last evening to disclose the name Of the
missing girl or to give any information
that would assist in locating her.

statement of the estimate for new de-
fenses. The first line of defense will
consist of 100000 men, of which 46.043

remainder the war establishment. A
sufficient number of officers are to be

The officers and men of the first line
are divided into two classes-those en-
gaging for both peace and war service,
who will be paid and be liable for train

war service only.

Mr.. Gould remarked that he and Mr.
Hartman are on the best of terms
The Southern Pacific connections with

he said, were eminently satisfactory
and he could see no reason why he
should contemplate an inva sion of the
coast territory so long as these pleas
ant relations continued. The same
statement, he added. would apply to
the Santa Fe connections. He stated
that the Wabash road expected to get
into Pittsburg by the middle of April
and that a great deal of money is be-
ing spent to accomplish this work
He has already arranged for an extern
sion of his railroad interests eastward
from Pittsburg to tidewater in Balti-
more and he remarked that the West

the nucleus of that extension.

To Proven. D~erailments.

Mr.. Gehrricke. a German railroad
official, has patented a preventive APP
pliance against the derailment Of rail-
road trains. Ii is claimed that il.s
yention will considerably decrease the
dangers and damages In all cases Of
d~erailments, also those resulting from
broken axles or tires. A rail Is adj
justed to the truck Of the car parallel
with the axle. SO that II Is in a position
across, and about an inch above, the
rails. Should q derailment Of the
wheels take place these cross rails
will lie upon the rails of the track
without letting the wheels touch the
ground. The cross rails are also sup
piled with projections underneath for
the purpose OF preventing the car from
leaving the track. The advantages ex-
pected are that a derailed car will not
be suddenly stopped. will NOT fall with
undiminished force upon the rails Of
the track or upon the ties, and will not
be dragged with the wheels upon the
latter, but will be stopped slowly, the
cross rails acting as brakes.
