STRUCK BY A sABER.
Unknown Man Attempted to Shake
Hands With the President.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The presi-
dent apparently is not annoyed by an
incident which occurred in Philadel-
phia while he was driving from the
Academy of Music to the armory,
where he was the guest of the city
troops at luncheon. Before the presi-
Dental party reached the city troop
armory an unknown man dashed into
the street and got within eight or ten
feet of the presidents carriage. There
he was struck with the fiat of saber
by one of the four troopers who sur
rounded the presidents carriage, and
checked by the force of the blow he
staggered back. and was lost sight of
in the crowd. The man appeared to
be a laborer about 45 years of age.
Those who witnessed the incident be-
lieve that he merely sought to shake
hands with the president.

say they were inconsiderable, al
though there were sick and wounded

CRY OF WOLF! WOLFF.
THRILLING STORY OF A CY.
cLIsT's TERRIBLE RIDE.
Ignores Hasty, But Timely Warning,
and Has to Ride for His Life
-Overtaken But Is
Saved

There were obvious signs of thunder
when set out to spend the evening with
my friend at s.. A bright harvest
moon shone down, lighting the road be-
fore me. Away, almost on the horizon,
a heavy bank of clouds growled ON
inously and at frequent intervals.
Riding steadily, l was at length
brought to a standstill by the road
branching off in opposite directions.
My memory of the way up to this point
had held me good. But now hesitated,
doubtful which of the two roads should
take. Whilst in this dilemma, l no.
ticed the figure of man approaching.
'.Is this the road to So" asked.
Without needing, the man hurried on.
l repeated my question. This time he
heard, and, half turning, nodded his
head
What is the matter?" shouted.
''Wolf-escaped-from menagerie at
G." he gasped, in terrified voice,
and vanished round the corner.
Laughing to myself at his cowardice,
l mounted my machine and was soon
gliding along the quiet lane. Strangely,
up to the present, had felt no alarm
at the thought of wolf roaming the
country. But presently began to ex-
perienve distinct sensation Of nerv-
BUSINESS.
By now a heavy bank of clouds OBJ
scured the moon. The darkness was
intense. Still rode on, making good
progress, my path at times lit up by
dazzling flashes of lightning.
Suddenly my lamp went out. Dis
mounting, struck match, and had
just succeeded In kindling the wick,
when a strange noise fell upon my
ears. 1 listened intently.
The regular pit-pat of some approach
ing animal sounded clearly in the dark
stiffness. That instant, flash of light
ming lit up the road. 1 looked!

brown object was visible, rushing head
long towards me-
''The wolff" shrieked, and, springing
on my bicycle, fled, filled with mad
panic.
How l kept my balance | cannot say.
The mortal dread of what would happen
should l fall seemed to sap the strength
from my limbs. Once Thought had out
distanced the creature glanced behind,
as another flash turned darkness into
day.
Pit, pat, with red tongue looping and
swinging from side to side, l saw the
brute, clinging tenaciously to the chase.
BY now my knees ached intolerably,
my breath came in sobs, and felt as if
my chest would burst. Then, just as
despair had overwhelmed me, saw the
lights of a farmhouse not 20 yards
ahead
l pulled up abruptly. A moment
later my fists beat wildly against the
door Suddenly a dark object bounded
towards me- My mind reeled, and l col
lapsed on the doorstep, unconscious!

System to Prevent Railway Collisions.

An interesting change was recently
made in the signaling system Of New
Zealands railway, which, it is thought,
will make collisions impossible. 1t is
called the tablet system" the essen
tiaI point being that no engineer is al
lowed to leave station without tab
let in his possession, and the machines
are so made that it is impossible for two
Of the tablets to be out at the same time.
1t is claimed by railroad experts that un
der this system two trains cannot be on
the same section at once, SO that the
danger of collisions is entirely done
away with.

The International Commission
Investigating 1t Makes a
Semi-Official Statement.
IT is A VICTORY FOR RUSSIA.
1t Gives No Opinion on the Question
of Presence or Absence OE
Jap Torpedo Boats.
Declares the Russian Admiral Legiti-
mateIy Believed His Squadron in
Danger and Had Right To
Act AS He Did.

Paris, Feb. 23.-A semi-official state
ment appeared relative to the work
Of the international commission which
has been considering the North Sea
incident. 1t is as follows:
"The Hull commission met in the
ministry of foreign affairs, and again
in the afternoon in order to proceed
to a final examination of the report,
recapitulating its conclusions. The
report is rather long. The principal
author is Adm. Won Spaun (Austrian)
but all the members of the commits
sion collaborated in drawing it up.
The commission gives no opinion ON
the question of the presence or alb
sence of Japanese torpedo boats in
the North Sea, declaring merely that
the Russian admiral legitimately be-
lieved that his squadron was endan-
gered and that he had the right, under
the circumstances, to act as he did.
The commissioners refer to the Rus
sian governments engagements to in
demnify the victims of the deplorable
incident"
British Comment.
London, Feb. ga strong chord
of indignation is sounded by the Lon
don daily newspapers over the semi
official statement relative to the de-
cision of the North Sea commission
giving to Russia the victory, but it is
still hoped that the publication of the
full text of the commissions report
may modify the impression produced
by the preliminary version, which is
one of intense disappointment.
The Daily Mail goes so far as to de
clare that the decision has dealt a
death blow to arbitration. Some Of
the newspapers blame the government
strongly for ever consenting to sub
ject such a matter to arbitration
while some of the government organs
find cold comfort in the fact that the
country by doing so avoided war with
Russia. No question is raised that
the decision must be respected and
Great Britain's share of the heavy
costs will be ruefully paid; but it is
held that the decision leaves the ques-
ton of a neutral right on the sea in
a deplorably unsatisfactory state, and
creates dangerous precedent.
