FRENCH EXPOSURE
Anglers GERMANS
Britons Expected to Explain Re-
ported Offer of Aid for War
7 - Against Germany.

Cologne, Oct. 13.-The Cologne Ga
zette prints an inspired dispatch from
Berlin, in which the Paris Matin g rev.
Citations of M. Delcasse's belief, that
France had Great Britain 8 promise Of
aid in the event of war with Germany,
are discussed. The dispatch notes that
the articles in the Matin have caused
Great Britain, and that those countries
have prime interest in the clearing
up of the matter. -. s.s..e.u ..'...
1t is evident from the dispatch that
the German government assumes that
M. Delcasse believed in good faith that
France had Great Britain IS promise of
military assistance for war with Ger
many, and shaped his policy according
ly. Therefore, the dispatch points out,
1t is impossible to brush the Matin 8
story aside as chimerical.
Story Can't Be Brushed Aside.
M. Delcasse's belief that Great Brit
ain s assistance was pledged former the
basis of his policy, and the attempt
made in Great Britain to dismiss the
matter as a ridiculous phantasm is in
sufficient, and the story cannot be dis
posed of in this way. The German
view, the dispatch adds, is that the
story must be taken seriously until the
British government gives out a formal
utteranee to fully vindicate the posi-
tion of Great Britain.
British Are Annoyed.
London, Oct. 13.-The revelations by
the Paris Matin of alleged reasons for
the resignation Of M. Delcasse from the
foreign ministry, and the allegation
that Great Britain offered military aid
to France in the event of war with
Germany, while they are secuted as pre-
posterous, are causing much irrita bic
discussion in the English press as plac-
the minds of other European nations.
It is regarded as unlikely that Min
lister Lansdowne will issue a formal
statement.

VICTIM OF APOPLEXY

st. Petersburg, Oct. 13.-Prince Ser
gius Troubetskoy was stricken with
apoplexy yesterday while attending q
conference with NJ. Glasoff, minister of
education. He died in two hours.
Prince Troubetskoy was regarded as
the foremost liberal in Russia. For
long time he was president of the zem-
stvo congress of the government of
Moscow, and headed the delegation
which in June last presented the. petit
ton of the All-Russian congress Of zem-
stvos and municipalities to Emperor
Nicholas. One Sept :. Is last he was
elected rector of the University Of Mos
cow by a large majority. being the first
elected head Of Russian university
since 1880, when the government as
sumed the right Of nomination.
The election of the prince removed
him from the list of candidates for the
national assembly, in which it was
hoped he would be one of the prominent
leaders and perhaps it's president.
Prince Troubetskoy was marshal Of
the nobility.

GREWSOME FIND.
Dead Body Of an Unknown Man Found
in an irrigation Canal

Dead Body Of an Unknown Man Found
in an irrigation Canal
The decomposed remains of a man
were found yesterday afternoon in a
ditch on the Powell ranch east of
this city, by a laborer named Peterson
who was doing some irrigating on the
ranch. The body was that of cripple
both legs being absent from the body
The body was in a very bad state Of
decomposition and had evidently been
in the ditch some time The ditch
contained about two feet of water and
the body had lodged against post.
The hair on the mans head had been
entirely removed by the action of the
water and the face had been affected
ir1-efle same way, the flesh having
been worn away in some places.
After discovering the body Peterson
rushed to the B. and w. Hotel and
reported his find to Gus Martin and
Mr. Hirschberger and then notified the
coroners office. A peculiar feature Of
the case is that at the time of Peter
sens arrival with the report of find
ing the body Hirschberger and Martin
We're discussing the finding of the
dead body in the Willis fiel dlast Sun
day.
The condition of the body made it
impossible to positively identify the
remains but is thought that the un
fortunate man was an inmate at tbs
county hospital about five weeks ago
This theory was derived from the
fact that man who bore a strons
resemblance to the evident appearance
of the deceased when in life droppe,
portion of a letter from an artificial
limb company addressed ito l.. b
Adams in a Sparks saloon about f.:
month ago. The letter was date De
cember Is, 1904.
This man was arrested in cOmpan,
with three others in Reno some tim.
ago, but was discharged on account 0
his helpless and crippled condition
No marks of violence were distin
guishable on the body and one theor
is that the deceased fell in the ditcl
while in an intoxicated condition an
being unable to get out, drowned.

and brought it to this city cor:
