Mr. Fowler spoke OF the affair as
"cutting out expedition" thereby differing
in an important point from the press de

ton will follow, for Russia may in turn
hold China responsible for the punish
ment OF the Japanese who caused the
death OF her sailors when under the

Altogether the situation is full OF dam
ger and the main apprehension of the Of
ficials here that II may be the initiation
that will break down the agreement OF

Of Japan. The consequences 0f such an
act on China's part upon existing ALT

In the legal proceedings subsequent to
her death, Irving Simpson declared her

with the statements and the death GER
tificate shows her TO have been the wife

band.
But coincdent with simpsons declara-
ton came that OF John T. Curran to The
effect that the woman had been his wife
for some two years. There was no docu-
naentary evidence produced by Curran
and OF the two claims. that OF Simpson
seems the stronger. Anyway the latter

took place at o'clock this afternoon
from the undertaking rooms OF Thomas
F. Monahan, 221 Wickenden street.

lived for some time I'm a tenement at S21

Ing regarded as a boarder. Mr.. simpson
asserts that though the tenement was In

there as a boarder.
The maiden name OF the dead woman
was Nadeau. OF Canadian birth and the
records show her marriage to Simpson TO
have taken place In this city I'm 1896. No
evidence OF legal separation has thus
far been forthcoming.

n st. Petersburg, May l4.-The OH
yclal' I'M essenger gazettes a ukase from
the emperor. and a notice from the
minister of finan-,e with regard to the
issuance of bond, of the nominal value
Of $i60,0O0,030, to run five years from
May IA, 1904, bearing interest at
per cent, to be paid semi-annual1y.
The bonds are to be of the denomina-
tons Of 500 ami $1,0C0 and are to be
issued through the banks of Paris and
The Netherlands, the Credit Lyon
naises and Hottinguer & Co. at Paris.
If further loans ale f1oated before the
bonds mature tits stated that holders
of these bonds will be given prefer
ence Of subscription in such loans.
An authorized statement accompany
Ing the ukase says that the outbreak
OF the war found Russian finances
dourishing. There was an available
surplus Of !. s66, 5000, 900, which was
doubled by reduction in the budget
expenses. Altogether the war found
$150, 100000 in the exchequer. which
was considered to be insufficient. Pru-
dence dictated that early preparation
be made, to meet the heavy expenses.
The imperial treasury had $422.500, 900
gold in reserve May to cover 1922
100000 paper in circulation, thus en-
abling Russia to issue another $780,
100000. This would have permitted
her to meet the war expenditure with
out having resort to a foreign loan,
but the minister of finance deemed it
advisable to avoid recourse to meas
ures which, attractively simple, would
yet be likely to exhaust the last re-
sources of the country, q step to be
averted during the war. "
