When the bull had been beaten Off

steadfastIy refused to Civ, his reason
for committing suicide, and expired
without disclosing his secret. The
bull had been ,innanageable and Ca

received The on.rush OF the maddened
beast with EXTENDED arms. He was
caught under the arms aud tossed

and sent him whirllng into the air,
and finally impaled him.
Three days prior to the suicide, A.

THE RUSSIAN POSITION.
An Authoritative Statement Made to
the Associated Press.
(By the Associated Press.)

Portsmouth. n. H.. Aug. 23.-The
following authoritative statement has
been made to the Associated Press eX-
planning the Russian positioD) with re-
gard to the latest stage of the peace
negotiations: -
Statements have appeared in
prominent American and English, pa
pers, which. while eloquent. studiously
moderate, and well intentioned, are
unhappily calculated to mislead the
world as to the prospects of peace
and the general character of Japan s
so-called new proposal with which it
is contended Russia can close without
loss of dignity 1T is quite true as
those papers predicted that the en-
voys of Japan came forward at to-
days sitting with proposal, which
was new in form, but old in substance.
1t is equally true that proposal lacks
the two contentious clauses stipulating
that Russia shall surrender to Japan
her disarmed warships and limit her
naval power on the Pacific, and that
it reduces the differences between the
two powers to the compass of what is
in appearance a single question, the
sale of Sakhalin. Seemingly, there
fore, Japan has also struck her pen
through the most obnoxious clause of
all-that which deals with indemnity,
and all that she now asks Russia to
do i'm addition to the terms already
agreed upon is to purchase the north
ern half of Sakhalin for a sum of one
milliard and two hundred million yen

plification of terms is supposed to
provide Russia with an acceptab BILE
basis for a peace treaty. At first
sight the offer may perhaps seem new
to some, but q closer examination will
show it to be in all essentials Identical
with the proposal already rejected by
Russia's plenipotentiaries. Only
person unfamiliar with war. in love
with humanitarianism, foreign to Rus
STA and incompetent to judge of Rus
sia's national honor and dignity, could
decry in theS terms the source of
new impulse given to the peace ne
gOtiationS.
THE elimination of the two clauses
STIMULATING that Russia's disarmed
disarmed warsips be handed over to
Japan and her naval strength on the
Pacific be restricted brings no new
element into the transaction. For the
withdrawal of these claims which were
obviously put forward with the in
tention of being waived in the course
of negotiations is devoid of import
ance. The disarmed ships in ques-
ton are Russia's by right and to ask
that they be handed over to Japan
is to demand d breach of the law of

keep a squadron there equal to

is equally childish to affirm that Japan
foregoes her claim for an indemnity,

IT SHOOK THINGS UP
Wrecked Worlds Fair Building and
Injured Ten People.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. ga number
of persons were injured as the result
of the earthquake which was felt all
over this State in Kentucky, Ten

disturbance was most severe in this
city, where one of the Worlds Fair
buildings, which was being dismantl-

about ten men who were at work. All
were injured, but none were Killed.
1t is expected that later reports
from the other affected sections VIII
show that, directly and indirectly, the
earthquake cost many lives.
A tremendous shock was felt in
this city and it caused great excite
ment. Thousands of persons who felt
the buildings shake ran out into the
streets. The older houses could be
seen to shake violently and some OF
them were in great danger of failing.
The Worlds Fair section was serl-
ously affected, and with the first shock
the wrecked building tumbled down
The roof crashed in with report that
was heard for mile, and 1t added to
the unnerved householders rushed
from their homes.
Fully 25 per cent of the houses in
the city felt the earthquake IN one
wav or another. Pictures dropped
from the walls. Even heavy pieces Of
furniture were overturned. Closets
were wrecked and dishes scattered
Windows were broken and doors
thrown out of plumb.
Inside of ten minutes after the
shock, which was the most serious
reported here in over twenty years,
men and women had fled from their
homes. Many of them were Only
scantily dressed and dozens of wO-
men were seen kneeling in the streets
with their hands outstretched In
prayer.
1t was feared that the shock was
merely a premilnary one, and that
the whole city would soon be in ruins.
Clergymen were summoned to me

dents, who were in wild terror.
The streets cars lines became packed
with passengers at once. Every one
wanted to get as far from the city as
possible and within an hour many

their valuables. Persons with plenty
of money have fed the State altogeth
