Russian Scandal.

st. Petersburg, July ga scandal
OF wide spread proportions in connection
with the sale to merchants of permits to
ship goods to the far East, has just been
uDearthed, and the War Office has order
ed an inquiry to discover who is re-
sponsible for the systematic wrong do
ing which has been going on. When
the war began, the War Office, in order
to prevent the blockade of the railway
leading to Manchuria, directed that nc
goods should be sent TO the far East I'M
less they had been ordered specifically
and then only after permit had been
secured in each case from the War De-
par.ment. 1t was developed that 20,
600 of these Permits in blank form
have been issued surreptitiOusly, and
have been sold by banks and other f.
nancial institutions to any merchant
applying who would pay the high price
demanded for them. 10 some cases it is
said as much as 81, 900 was paid for a
single permit. 1t is estimated that
permits to the value of $4,000, 00O
have been sold and all manner of deli
cacies have been sent to the far East
under these permits seriously interfering
with the shipping of war supplies, and
the proper running of troop trains.
The War Office proposes TO make a
thorough investigation of the affairs
with view of fixing the responsibility
on the guilty parties.

Yellow Fever.

Washington, July 25.-Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman, of the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service, is OBJ his way
to this city to take charge of the en-
deavors of his service to put down the
yellow fever outbreak in New Orleans.
DR.. Glennan, now in charge of the Office,
was informed yesterday that there had
been a death at New Orleans outside the
district in which previous deaths from
yellow fever occurred. Surgeons of the

detention camps, in which refugees from
the city may be kept for sufficient time
to insure communities to which they may
GO against spread of the disease, will be
established outside the city limits.
The camps will be supplied with stores
from the government repositories at
Fountainebleau, Miss.
Washington, July 25.-Surgeon j..
II. White, ..of the Marine Hospital and
Public Health Service at New Orleans,

stricte1 district of two city blocks in

Kaiser and Gar.

Berlin, July 25.-The foreign Office
here authorize the statement that at the
conference between Kaiser Wilhelm and
Emperor Nicholas on Sunday night and
Yesterday Emperor William advised the
Car to conclude peace with Japan.
London, July 25.-Speculstion con-
Times here as to the purpose of the con-
ference between Kaiser William and the
Car and in diplomatic circles the opinion
is held that the two rulers discussed not
only the war and the internal situation
in Russia, but that the strengthening OF
Russo German friendship was considered.
One diplomatist said today to the cores
pondent of the Publishers Press.
''There is no doubt that the Kaiser il
playing a strong game to save Germany
from isolation in Europe. He is work
ing on the great admiration which the
Gar has for him to advise the Gar
on certain courses of action in the
expectation that if his advice proves OF
advantage of Russia, the ROmanofs will
owe a debt of gratitude to the HOhen-
zollerns on which Germany can draw
at some future time. The rest of Europe,
which does not desire to see the Kaiser
become too powerful, is hopeful that the
Kaiser's advice to the Gar is of reac-
lionary nature, as, if he follows it, Nichol-
as will find himself in greater difficulties
than exist at present. In that event the
advice he has given will react against
the Kaiser.V

Killed at Church.

Details reached Roanoke yesterday
evening of a fatal shooting affair Sunday
night at Panther Greek Church, in Car
roll county, in which Wiley Marshall
was shot five times and killed by his
first cousin, Otey Marshall. There has
been bad blood between the two branches

affairs that have taken place during the
past few years, Last winter Wiley
Marshall shot and seriously wounded
Kid Marshall, brother of Otey Mar
shall, and further trouble had been an
ticipated. When they met al church
Sunday night, Otey Marshall drew his
gun, and, approaching Wiley Marshall
said "You shot my brother and am
going to kill you" He then fired FIVE
bullets, all of which took effect in Wiley
MarshalPs body, causing instant death.
IN the excitement following the killing,
Otey Marshall escaped to the mountains

Removed Pin from Lung

Little Bessie Chalmers was operated
on Sunday in the Children's Homoe-
pathic Hospital, Philadelphia, and
a pin two inches long was removed from
the bronchi at the entrance OF her left
lung. 1t was one of the most delicate
operations performed at the hospital in
some time, and was especially danger
Gus because the child is only 10 months
I'D. The operation took nearly an hour
to complete the work.
TracheOtomy, or the cutting of an in
cision in the windpipe, was performed,
and then a hook was inserted three
inches into the bronchi, where the pin
hal beea located by means of an X-ray
photograph. The pin was of steel, with
glass head, of the kind used to pin a
woman's veil. 1t went down head first,
making it very difficult to extract it.
Afer it had been dislOdged from the
flesh another instrument was inserted,
and after considerable probing the point
of the pin was nipped and it was easily
extracted.
Bessie is doing well, and there is every
hope that she will recover. The only
danger now is that pneumonia will de-
velop. A similar operation was performed
in the same hospital some time ago on a
bov who had swallowed a 92-calibre car
tridge. The obstruction was 80 large
that it closed the left bronchi, and the
poisonous gas from the lung caused seri-
ols complications. The cartridge was
successfully removed.

Wiliamsport, Pa, July 25.-lt was
Embarrassing experience that fell to the
lot of John Singler, a cattle-herder in
the Scootac Mountain, north of Mapes,
Pa, the other night Having hunted
and found one of his lost steers that had
evidently been caught fast in crevice
OF an abandoned quarry and died there,
he discovered that the flesh had been
torn from the neck and shoulders of the
beast. Armed with rifle he climbed in
to the dense foliage of scrubby tree
and waited to see what sort6f wild beasts
had torn the dead steer a little after
midnight a family Of snarling catamounts
came back to feast on the Odoriferous
carcass, and, after ny, thrilling wait
up his Tree, he blazed away in the d.
rectiOn of the bedlam of shrieks and
snarls. The catamOunts took the hint
and departed, and when their distant
cries proved that they were at a safe dis
lance SiDgler climbed down, but could
find no evidence that any Of his shots
had taken effect.
