IN Chinese WATERS
RUSSIAN FLEET SAID TO HAVE
TAKEN REFUGE THERE.

Hong Hong April LIT is reported
here that the Chinese government has
received information that the Russian
feet, under command Of Admiral Ro-
jestventsky, has taken refuge in a bay
on the Chinese coast north of Hong
Hong. 1t is stated that the japanese
government has made an urgent de-
mand that the Chinese government send
word to the Russians 70 get out at
once, and also that Japan has told
China that she will be held strictly ac-
countable should the Russians use neu-
trail harbors for the purpose of taking
on stores or resting.
A report is in circulation here, but is
not confirmed, that the American Maru,
a Japanese scouting ship, has been
damaged as the result of a conflict
with a Russian cruiser. 1t is imposs-
ible to trace the origin of this rumor.
A dispatch to a London paper says
that.a portion of the Russian squadron
was seen Sunday at Turan bay, about
$50 miles north of Kamranh bay.
Turan bay is between latitude 6 and
latitude II north. According to adj
vices from Haifong to a Paris news
paper, 40 Russian vesselsl were recent
ly sighted in that latitude steaming
north.

JOKE Ross WIFE OF REASON.
Sad Sequel to silly Trick Perpetrates
by Edmond Lelouse.

by EDMOND LeiOuBcs
A sad sequel was the result Of a
silly joke perpetrated recently in
Paris. NJ. Edmond Lelouse wishing
to brighten his wife. dressed up a wax
figure the head OF which and one OF
the hands he lightly attached to the
body by means OF gum, and placed 1t
in bed
While Lelouse was watching the
proceedings from behind some dra-
peries his wife, about to retire, grasp
ed what she supposed, in the semi
darkness. to be her husbands hand,
but which was in reality that Of the
wax figure. The hand. cold and clam
my, detached itself from the limb and
remained in her grasp. 80
With a cry of horror Madame La
louise let the hand drop to the ground
and flung her arms around the figures
neck, when the head also became de-
tached and rolled down upon the floor.
The terror stricken woman. uttering
piercing shrieks, ran madly down the
stairs. where she was stopped by some
neighbors and detained.
When the police arrived it was
found that she had become raving
mad. Later she was conveyed to the
asylum.
When the husband was apprised
yesterday morning Of the hopelessness
of his wife's condition, he poisoned
himself by swallowing a dose of nitric
acid.

NO MORE LIGHTNING RODS.
Out Of Favor. Though Still Credited
with Slight Value.

Out OF Favor, Though Still Credited
with Slight Value.
Lightning rods have fallen into deep
disfavor almost every where nova
days, but they are valued least by the
hasty people who once valued them
most, and those who really know the
most about them still credit them with
a measurable, though small, amount OF
protective pOwer-if properly con-
structed and maintained, as they hard
ly ever are. For those who consider
even a slight diminution Of the danger
of lighting worth securing at some ex-
pense in money and a good deal of
care the weather bureau offers infor-
nation and advice prepared for it by
Professor w. S. Franklin, of Lehigh
University.
The first desideratum Is what the
electricians call a good ground -
that is, close and permanent cOnnec-
ton with a large mass of high cleo
trical conductivity. like damp soil or
an extensive system of metallic pipes.
The lightning rod itself should be a
wide band, a thlnwalled tube or wire
cable, rather than a solid wire, for so
is the conductivity OF a given amount
Of metal largely increased. And OF
extreme Importance Is 1t that the
course Of the rod to the ground should
be as short and straight as possible.
II the pathway provided for the
bolt" be devious the impatient mes
senger from-or tO-the clouds will
not follow 1t, no matter how much is
spent for glass or other insulators,
while II the path be straight the insu-
lators are needless for any charge the
rod can carry.
What happens when a ,od light
ming rod is put to test is thus described
by a man who went through the expe-
rience at a mountain hotel in this
State: 81 was standing on the piazza
when the most tremendous shock or
conclusion conceivable took place. |

Almost a State Of Siege.

Almost a state Of siege exists in
the Narva quarter at St. Petersburg
owing to the suspension OF the Putt

police swarm in the surrounding
streets. The tension yesterday was
great. especially when a policeman
shot a drunken workman who had
drawn a revolver on him but there
was no collision during the day.

were accidentally killed at the iron

lying dead in their collins. The work
is done so skilfully that. in the shad-

rial family are discernible with great
difficulty. The publishers disclaim
any previous knowledge of the shad-
owy figures. The culprits. who were
students employed on the paper have
not yet been located. Copies of this

FORCED HIM TO SELL STOCK.
Report That Hill and Morgan Caught
and Punched Hartman.

Report That Hill and Morgan Caught
and Punched Hartman.
The retirement of e. H. Hartman
from the Northern Securities board Of
directors was authoritatively explain
ed recently by a Chicago banker who
is high in the confidence of eastern
financiers. The statement by the Chi
cago banker is to the effect that early
last week Hartman sold to J. Pier
pont Morgan and James J. Hill $780,
600 900 par value of Northern Secu-
rites stock at $l75 a share and dis
posed of all his personal interests
in that big railroad combination. His
personal interest is aside, of course,
from the Union Pacific's interest in
Northern Securities.
If these reports of Harriman's sale
of his Securities stock and his losing
control of the Union Pacific be true, 1t
looks like a grand victory for the Hill
Morgan party in the battlefield of rail
road finance, a victory to which the
Equitable scandal contributed prob
ably not a little.
MI Hartman S vigorous cnanplOn
ship of young Hyde in the Equitable
Life controversy and his bitter antag
onism to Alexander created at once
suspicion that he was largely indebt
ed to the Equitable.
Did Morgan know that Hartman
was being harried by the Equitable
and did he start fight on Hyde to
smoke Hartman out? There are peo
pie who are usually very well inform
ed on matters of high finance who
believe that Morgan executed JUS
such a program.
