policeman and Woman cool.

Arlington, Mass--In the face of
great danger and at the risk of his
life Patrolman James e. Whitten
stopped a pair of runaway horses
Wednesday evening.
The horses were attached to a coupe
driven by John Hewitt, a driver for
the Corey Hill club stables. AS the
animals crossed the line from Win
chester into Arlington they took fright
and bolted, throwing the driver from
his seat, the carriage passing over his
right arm.
The horses continued their fight
towards Arlington, nearly mile dis
tant. AS they came up Mystic street
they were seen by Patrolman Whit
ten, who was returning from his sup
per. Whitten made a leap for the
horses and caught the bride of the
nearest one. They had at this time
almost reached the gates at the cross
ing at the Center, The gates were
down and a rapidly approaching eX-
press train was near. Spectators eX-
pected fatality,
Whitten managed to head the
hnrses tnwards the sidewalk in an eP
posite direction from the gates. He
was dragged for quite distance but
after hard struggle succeeded in
stopping the animals.
When the horses were stopped, to
the establishment of all, woman was
seen calmly seated inside the car
riage. She was Mrs. Curtis Judd of
winthrop road Brookline. She did
not seem to be in the least flustered,
and told the bystanders that at no
time did she feel in the least nervous,
but decided to remain in her seat and
await the result.

st. Petersburg-Witk a suspicious
stoppage Of dispatches from Man
churia and a strong possibility that
Vice Admiral Roiestvensky had cut
his last communications with home
and set forth on the final stage of his
journey to his goal, Togo or Vladivos-

naval and military circles here in the
two-fold field of war.
Though the admiralty, which has
| been completely silent since the ad
vent OF rtoJesuyensky In the emma
sea, publishes no dispatches, the CON
viction Is growing that the united
squadron departed from the AMMAN
coast Immediately after their juncture

between scouts of the hostile fleets.

cleaning their bottoms at sea.
Neither the admiralty nor individ.
ual officers have any information re-
garding the rumored request Of Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky to be relieved,

curacy.

terly incapacitated for command,
which then would naturally devolve
on Vice Admiral Voelgersam. who is
known as an officer with a Teutonic
thoroughness and attention to the fine
details of his profession. He is also
a notable strategist and theoretician.
The Associated Press has been in.
formed that Vice Admiral Birileff will
be sent to Vladivostok. which posi-
bly, accounts for the origin of the ru-
NOR of Roiestvensky's request to be
relieved of his command.
On the military side the indications
are that events are rapidly shaping
for the preliminary stage of another
great battle. The Russian army has
and 1t IS asserted that Gen. fihneNvyitck nNyftH
is not the man to waste days in mac

A further mobilization of cavalry in
one or two districts has been ordered
but no large draft is required, as re-
Inducements for the cavalry arm are
at hand in the recently embodied Cos
sacks, whose departure for Manchuria
was postponed in anticipation of May
day troubles. the most of whom can
now resume the trip eastward. A
small but important detachment has
left st. Petersburg to join Gen. Line
vitchs army.

Russian Admiral Sick.

St. Petersburg. disquieting re-
ports are in circulation this evening
about Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky's
health. 1t is said he has telegraphed
to the Emperor that it is impossible
for him to proceed. An evening paper
prints report that the admiral has
suffered a nervous breakdown.
1t is well known that he suffered
from kidney trouble before leaving
-Cronstadt, and throughout the long
voyage to the far east he suffered at
times to such an extent that he had
to be carried about on a stretcher.
Should Rojestvensky be compelled to
leave the fleet the command will de-
volve on Rear Admiral Voelkersam.
