TEMPTED DEATH
TO CATCH LINER
American Woman Races in Auto
From Paris to Cherbourg,
and Wins. ~

New York, Sept. "a story of an
exciting ride Of 240 miles from Paris
to Cherbourg in an open automobile
in driving rainstorm to reach the
steamer St. Louis before she sailed and
to be at train, was told today by
Mrs. J. M. R. Dillon. wife of the state
entomologist Of Louisiana, who, with
her husband and mother, Mrs. l.. HI.
Lintner, arrived from Cherbourg today.
Mrs. Dillon said her husband had left
Paris on the first section of the train
for Cherbourg. She and her mother
missed the second section. No other
train could catch the steamer, and the
railroad officials declared her request
for special train preposterous
In haste Mrs. Dillon hunted for the
manager of an automobile garage who
would undertake to make the run to
Cherbourg in an auto, and found one
who accepted 5000 and guarantee
against loss or accident for the trip.
Forty miles from Paris the machine
killed two dogs that were fighting il
the street, and later sent apeasant an6
his cart fl ying into the gutter, but the
automobile covered the distance il
five hours and twenty minutes at TIT
rate Of forty-fve miles an hour. E
beat the train by twenty minutes anl
: Mrs. Dillon caught the steamer.

UNEASlNESS IN NORWAY
Public Seems More Disturbed Over the
Scandinavian Crisis.

Special Cable to The Journal.
Christiania, Norway, Sept. 9.-The
delegates who have returned from the
Karlstad conference have maintained
the agreement Of secrecy rigidly, ex-
cept, Of course, in their consultations
with members of the cabinet and lead
ing members of the storthing. For
some reason not apparent, there seems
to be more uneasiness in the public
mind than at any time since the union
crisis became acute.
1t is difficult to understand the orr
gin of this feeling, unless it lies in
the rabid utterances of some OF the
Swedish press, which is calling for mo-
bilizations and other hostile demonstra-
tions. While it is well understood that
these utterances do not represent the
feeling of the masses in Sweden, 1T IS
remarked that they are the atterance s
of newspapers representing the doml-
nant political party. The element of
danger in. this fact is by no means
overlooked even among those who have
been most optimistic.

Christiania on Return Of
Delegates.
Special Cable to The Journal.

Special Cable to The journal.
Z. Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 9.-The re-
turn Of the Swedish delegates from
Karlstad for consultation has aroused
renewed interest in the union crisis
and the newspapers are full of specu-
little exact Information as to what. the
situation is can be obtained. ;.
The ultra-conservative section Of the
press has seized the occasion as oppor-
tune for the renewal Of war talk. The
chauvinists are demanding the imme-
date mobilization of Swedish troops
on the frontier and are INDUCING in all
kinds of bellicose talk, calculated to
stir up resentment in Christiania and
to make an eventual settlement all the
more difficult of attainment.
The peace party, however, is still in
the ascendant and is still insistent on
an anhicable settlement. Premier
Lundeberg, of course, has warlike ten
dencies-or at least did have before he
took office. It was the hope Of the lib
erals that the load Of responsibility he
took up would steady him and cause
him to act with caution. Their hopes
now rest in Carl Staff, their young
leader, who is councillor of state and
one Of the delegates.
| The consent of the liberals to support
the compromise program and go into
a the coalition cabinet was obtained only
after the most solemn pledges from the
conservative leaders, who realized the
behind them when negotiating with
Norway. If these pledges are broken
the liberals will withdraw from the
government and bring about domes
tic crisis. The conservatives can never
lead the nation into war with Norway
Not merely the liberals but the social
lists, who are numerous if not politically
powerful, and the royal family are
against war under any circumstances

DID WOMAN DIE
BY OWN HAND?
Burial Held to Show that Mrs,
Walsh Did Not Commit
Suicide.
Snacial to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Sept. 9.-One of the sig
nifcant features of the Walsh case at
Crandon, is the fact that Mrs. James
Walsh, whose death is a mystery still
unsolved, was buried in consecrated
ground by the Roman Catholic church.
Mrs. Walsh received her fatal wound
Tuesday evening at IL o'clock, and
Wednesday Afternoon, when she was
brighter than at any time after she was
shot, she received the sacrament at the
hands Of the priest in charge of the
Catholic church at Rhinelander. This
necessarily implies confession and her
burial in consecrated grounds is held to
dispel any idea that she committed sui
eide.
In every case priest holds that in
formation received in confession is sa-
cred, and the courts have always .sus-
tanned this contention. Therefore,
there is no way by which this testimony
can be elected.

JAPs LEARN PEACE TERMS
Jap Cabinet and Statesmen Meet and
Treaty Is Explained.

Toxic, Sept. e-At an informal meet
ing which took place yesterday between
the premier, Count Katsura, and mem
bers of both houses representing their
respective parties and associations,
Count Katsura made full! statement
concerning the peace negotiations.
:. It now transpires that the report that
not be fortified is unfounded, the only
stipulation made with Russia being In
regard to the free passage of the straits.
Japan acquires suzerainty over ko-
rea and will control entirely, with a
free hand, the affairs Of the peninsula
railroad south of Chang Chun, not
Changtu, the former being coded to
Japan with the right to retain military
guards for the protection Of the rail
road. Japan also holds the right to
retain the collieries at Fu-shan and
ven-tai, even after the evacuation of
the country by the Russians.
About ten months is the period al
: lowed to- complete the removal Of the
Russian troops from Manchuria.
The actual expense Of keeping the
Russian prisoners of war is to be paid
to Japan.
Baron Yamamoto, minister of the
navy, who was present at the meeting
said that, altho there was strong pop
uIar dissatisfaction with the terms OF
peace, it must be borne in mind thai
q far heavier sacrifice of life would be
necessary to take Vladivostok than thai
involved in the capture Of Port Arthur
besides the heavy monetary outlay. L
was advisable, therefore, he said, to b.
satisfied with the present terms.
Baron Yamamoto said that Russl;
was sure to build a strong navy an
Japan must be prepared to make ade
quate provision for such contingency
M. Oishi, leader Of the .progressiv
party, suggested that the cabinet shout
resign after concluding peace upon sue
unsatisfactory terms.
When the fact that no stipulatio
exists against the fortified ton Of Cap
Soya, and that Japan is to have a IRE
hand in the government Of Korea,
known, it is expected that the popula
indignation will be considerably
layed.

Baron Rosen Denies Story
Toxic Is Quiet After Anti
Peace Riots.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
London, Sept. Git is known per-
feetly we'll at the japanese legation
here that secret treaty has been made
between the car Of Russia and the en-
peror of Japan despite the usual dip
lomatic denials.
These facts concerning the treaty,
the way by which it was reached and
its purposes can be stated on the high
est authority.
The kaiser advised the car to make
the secret treaty when they met on
their yacts, Hohenzollern and Polar
Star, in the Baltic sea.
The Intermediates in the negotia-
tions were the Japanese minister at
London and the German ambassador at
St. Petersburg. King Edward helped
the making of the Treaty.
Indemnity Is Provided.
It provides that the car Of Russia
the car, not sthe empire-shall pay
$500,000,000 indemnity to Japan in five
years, less the amount which Russia
will pay Japan for her care and main
tenance Of Russian prisoners, of war,
of Portsmouth.
It is reported also that Russia agrees
in the treaty to give Japan free hand
in China, tho this point is not so certain
as the other.
The compact was made without the
knowledge even of Baron Komura and
Mr.. Witte.
The car and the emperor Of Japan
bound themselves solemnly to secrecy
about the treaty. ~
Known to an Envoy.
:. Cable dispatches state that when Mr..
Martens took the steamer from New
York yesterday he admitted that Sc
cret treaty is in existence. Martens,
one of the most astute of diplomats,
never would have dared to make the
acknowledgment without his sover-
eign s permission. It more than likely
that Martens was ordered to drop the
hint about the treaty, and thus, as will
be seen, to relieve the emperor of ia
ton at home. Indeed, it is not i'm
probable that Martens was ordered tc
sail from America to make an oppor
tunity to speak.
Denial by Baron Rosen.
New York, Sept. 9.-Baron de Roser
today gave out an emphatic and I'm
qualified denial of a story cabled from
London to the effect that a secret trea
ty had been arranged directly between
the emperor Of Russia and the empero
of japan providing, among other things
that Russia should pay to Japan al
indemnity of $5OO,O0O,O0O, less 800,
100000 to be paid for the care an
maintenance of the Russian prisoners O.

thereby have heavier haryests
