CAN DoGs M KISSED SAFELY
TEST Rrsuits in the Illness Of Six Women

ST.. PAuI. Mimi Feb. 5.--Can a woman

the result of a bet on this subject at Moun-

others are under physicians care, three
dogs are dead, and other dogs are exhibit
ing strange symptoms
II all came about from a wager made
by John Angelhardt, wealthy church
member. to six women prominent IN aid
society work in the church At a meeting
of the aid society Angelhardt was much
amused at the custom OF one Of the mem
bers of frequently kissing fayorite poodle
on the mouth. His meTiment provoked
the women and all declared they we're IN
the habit of kissing their dogs and thought
it a nice custom.
Angelhardt then made the wager that
the six could not kiss their dogs once day
for thirty days. the act to be performed
Immediately after breakfast The women
took the bet If they succeeded. Angel

Special cable Despatch 10 THE SuS
LONDON, Feb. 8-The st. Petersburg
correspondent OF the Telegraph sends in
formation which strikingly verifes the pre-
diction contained in The SuS's dispatches
Friday that the Gar would be forced by the
Grand Ducal coterie away from his atti-
tude in favor OF reform.
The correspondent Gays that without
rhyme or reason another extraordinary
vote face has taken place in Government
spheres which betokens an increase In
the Grand Ducal influence. marks fresh
opposition 10 the popular demands and
makes confusion worse confounded.
He reiterates the main points OF his pre-
vious story concerning the att itude OF Nj.
Witte, President of the Council, and M.
Yernolof, Minister of Agriculture in favor
Of reforms. and says that after continuous
labor a touching and impressive manifesto
was drawn up. which would have gone far
to win back 10 the autocracy the forfeited
sympathies OF the population.
1t was impressed on the nation that
bureaucracy the Car was the protector
and father Of bis people. 1t was announced
that his Majesty had ordered n special
court to investigate the events Of Jan. ~.
and that he decreed that the shedders OF
innocent blood be punished, tho victims
suitably provided for, and that genuine
grievances of the workers be bettered by
legislation which would take precedence
Of other reforms.
The manifesto, which was admirably
worded. was about to be presented TO his
Majesty for signature, after which its
PRONUNCIATION would have followed imme-
diatey, when Court Minister Baron Fred
ericks appeared and made statement
to the effect that the reception by the En-
peror of the deputation Of workmen at
Tsarskoe-Selo and his gracious address
to them would secure all the desirable
effects aimed at by the manifesto, while
eliminating its many disadvantages,
The unpleasant and unproven necessity
would then be obviated OF prolonging the
public excitement by an inquiry and Of
furnishing jealous men for doing what they
reasonably believed to be their duty. As
for relieving the sufferers the Gar would
himself give so 900 rubles for the purpose
His Majesty had for these reason ordered
him Baron Fredericks) to thank the franz
ers of the manifesto in his name for their
well meant advice and jealous work, and
TO inform them that he considered the mani
festo superhuous, Thus the golden bridge
10y which it was intended to connect the
autocracy with the Russian people has been
for the second time destroyed by those
for whose use and benefit it was constructed.
Continuing, the correspondent says that
at present things are in a bewildering tangle
once more. and the only slender hope for
the moment lies in the reform labors OF the
Committee of Ministers, always supposing
that they are not nullified as the manifesto
has been.

Shortly after his dinner last Thursday,

Mrs. Haas said that. so far IA she knew,

LOOKS LIKE MOVE FOR PEACE
BRITISH DIPLOMATS HOLD LONG
CONFERENCE WITH PRESIDENT.

Suggested That This Government sIay BE
Asked 10 Take the First Step Toward
Ending the War in the Far East-A
Precedent for This Mode OF Procedure
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Sir henry Morti-
mer Durand. tho British Ambassador. and
Cecil Spring Rice. Secretary OF the British
Embassy at ST. Petersburg, made long visit
to the White House tonight. The Presi-
dent and the two diplomats were together
until II o'clock. and In that time no other
visitors were received.
When he was leaving the White House
the Ambassador was asked II his business
with the President related to proposals for
bringing the Rllsso-Japanese war to an
end
NO peace proposals, and nothing can
tell YOU" was his indefinite response.
The greatest Significance in connection
with this unusual visit OF the two British
representatives to the President arises
from tn, fact that It came coincidentally
with the exchanges that are taking place
between European Governments on the
subject OF bringing about cessation Of
hostillties In the Far East.
1t has been generally accepted by lead
ing diplomats that II any determined effort
to secure international cooperation in the
interest OF peace we're determined upon
by one or more of the European Powers
the Government Of the United States would
be requested by it or them to make the
first open move, for the reason that it's
motives would not be open TO the suspicion
that would certainly arise if European
nation took the initiative.
This has been so we'll recognized that
when Germany desired to secure an ar
rangement by which Russia and Japan
would agree to respect the neutrality Of
China and confine their hostile operations
to Corea and Manchuria. she asked the
American Government TO father the sug-
gestion. knowing that II II came from Berlin
the chances for its acceptance by one or
both beligerents would be meagre.
Germany's requestat that time was made
personally to President Roosevelt by Baron
Speck Won Sternburg. the German Am
bassador in Washington. and il England
has any like favor TO ask the suggestion
would naturally be communicated through
the British Ambassador here.
THE Suns London correspondent has
stated on high authority that the latest
proposal for bringing about an ending Of
the war was made by Germany to England
In all the delicate diplomatic negotiations
concerning China the positions Of England
and the United States have been similar
in all material respects.

WILD OWL IN THE PARK.
Asking the Cops who's VINO in Their Ecrle
Midnight Manderlngs.

Roundsman Wood was going along one
of the Central park paths the other night
to sec If all the patrolmen were sticking
TO their posts in the cold weather Mid
night was approaching and the usual still
ness of the Park prevailed. The only
sound he heard was the echo OF his own
footsteps on the frozen snow. Suddenly
a shrill Hod hool ho-o-o!' halted him
The cry seemed to come from clump
OF bushes TO one side Of the path. Wood
thought il was an attempted murder and
he started on the run for the bushes, but
could find not even a footprint in the snow.
All his matches gave out and he went back
TO the path very much mystified.
Hoo! hoo! ho-o-o'' made him jump
again as he was passing under hemlcck
tree. There was whirring among the
branches and big object came down and
knocked IN his helmet.
Other policemen reported experiences
almost similar and IL was decided that some
big bird had left the mountains OF New
Jersey for n visit TO Central Park. Pieces
OF rabbit fur were found about the lower
part Of the park. policeman happened
to look into big elm tree near the sheep
fold Yesterday and there saw big owl
l,erched on a branch He sent word to
Director Smith and tho director ordered
out Elephant Keeper Snyder to catch the
owl When the keeper reached the sheep
fold with his net on the end OF long pole

Vernon. freshman in Cornell University
who comes from London, England. proved
his British tenacity in n recent wager he
made with some Of his fellow students that
he could walk sixty miles in twenty-four
consecutive hours. The American under
graduates contended that the young Eng
lishman could not perform the feat, espe-
cially because of the prevailing zero weather
and the snow-drifted condition OF the coun-
try roads, Vernon had not thought of these
conditions but he stuck TO his boast. and a
sixty-mile course was charted on local
map.
Vernon started before sunrise. followed
in a few hours by friends in 4 sleigh. Toward
evening the strain and the extreme
cold began 10 tell on him. He ate his even
ing meal at Homer n. Y, and there his
friends tired to persuade him 20 give up
the task and return with them to Ithaca
in a sleigh. instead OF struggling through
the drifted snow for the remaining twenty
five miles But Vernon would not give up,
although he was In an exhausted condition.
His friends drove behind him all the re-
naming way to Ithaca. expecting him to
collapse at any time But Vernon strug-
gled on through the snow and arrived back
in Ithaca at about O'Clock in the morning
one hour before his wager time was up.

LONDON, Feb. 8.-The lighting which is
reported to be still going on along the Hun

than artillery exchanges and outpost Skin
mshes.
These were apparently pretty general
along the whole front Friday and Satur-
day. TheJapanese assert that all the attacks

anese Army and Gen. Dombrovsky of the
Russian Army were wounded in the recent
operations.
Gen. Kuropatkin's reported resignation
and the relations of his subordinate com
manders form the principal feature OF the
war for the moment.
1t is not believed that Gen. Kuropatkins
offer to resign will be accepted at the pres
ent stage OF affairs when great battle
may occur at any moment, but there ia no
questioning the fact that he is not on the
best of terms with his subordinntes and his
breach with Gen. Gripenberg seems to be
unbeatable This can be understood II,
