FOOTPADS ROB WOMEN.

Jewelry on BOwery hay Road.

Jewelry on BOwery hay Road.
Mrs. Annie Coleman, who lives at old
Bowery Bay road, and Flushing avenue,
Long Island City was held up and robbed
by two highwaymen late on Thursday
night. The matter was reported to the
police, but an effort was made to keep it
quiet.
Mrs. Coleman had not noticed the men
until she was seized by them. They appear
to have stepped out of the darkness on
either side OF her. One Of them threw
his arm about her neck and placed hand
over her mouth, at the same moment draw
ing her head and shoulders backward.
He held her helpless thus for minute.
while she vainly struggled against the
other man. Her feet were partly lifted
from the ground and she could obtain no
leverage to fight from.
The second man tore her watch from
It's pin. 1t was valuable gold one. Her
pin was torn from the collar Of her waist
and her handbag was taken from her. On
one Of her hands was q ring with valuable
stone. This was revealed to the thief
when she seized the hand over her mouth.
He grabbed her hand, twisted the finger
back, almost breaking it, and slipped
the ring and small gold guard ring from
the finger.
Then at a word from the man who did
the stealing the other let go Of her. at the
same time giving her a swing and twist
which almost threw her down. BY the time
the frightened women could scream the
men were some distance away and were

on the situation, but when it is remer,-
bered that Mr.. Sato Is always discreet, that
his remarks are carefully measured before
he utters them and that he IL hold responsible

may not improperly be construed as indi-
eating that the Japanese will spring happy

PRESENT PLANS.
1t was explained this evening that be-
tween now and next Tuesday the score
tariee Of the two missions will be engaged
in drafting the protocol setting forth the
agreements that have been reached on
certain points and also the disagreements
that have been noted with respect to the
demands OF Japan for the session oil Sakha.

strength and the surrender Of intemed
ships. Both sides, in statements made
orally, agreed that, even II these protocols
were signed, it would not then be too late
to reach an amicable agreement upon all
matters in dispute If basis Of oompro-
mise we're proposed.
1t was learned this evening that even
should there be failure to change existing
conditions when the ENJOYS hold their
next session on Tuesday a final break will
not come on that day A meeting will be
held on " dnosday according to present
intentions and this Is in itself an additional
reason for not abandoning hope.

When Mr.. Witte was informed tonight
that the Gar had issued ukase calling

things.
1T was not unexpected" he said, as 1t
had been arranged for some time. 1believe
it will have the effect Of unifying the Russian
people and cause them to stand behind
the Government in whatever mny be the
outcome Of the negotiations here. The
people will see that we have made all tho
concessions possible. II the Japanese are
not satisfied the people at home will kno"
that we must fight it out

KANEKO SEES PRESIDENT AGAIN.
A. Usual. He Talks Pleasantly to Reperterss
but Tells Nothing Of His Mission.

OYSTER BAY, Aug. ls.-Baron Kaneko;
commonly known as Japan's financial
agent in the United States to-day made
his fourth visit here since the Presidcnts
arrival in Oyster Bay. There Is no doubt
that the Japanese Baron has some important
mission upon which he Is working In this
country. He began his visits to the Presi-
dent last winter and has kept them up ever
since.
But nothing can ever induce Baron Kaneko
to give the slightest hint as to his purpose.
He tells the reporters he Is just simplei
we'll meaning tourist who fell In love with
this country and its people. At times he
comes here simply to admire the landscape
about Sycamore Hill Then he comes to
thank the President for a photograph.
Then again he comes to bring the President
his own photograph. His smile is always
significantly childlike and bland.
To-day he confessed that he came for no
reason at all. Having nothing to do b
thought he would while away the time
with the President. He knew nothing
OF what was going on at Portsmouth and
inquired eagerly what the papers say about
the peace conference. Judging from the
Barons own statements he is the most
ignorant man in both hemispheres.

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 1s.-Tbe status OF
the ENJOYS at the Hotel Wentworth Is not
usually understood. They are being enter

they are guests neither of the United States,
New Hampshire nor the hotel manage

paying the freight until such time as the
State Of New Hampshire gets ready to
shoulder the honor.
Gov. McLane said last night:

self, are standing responsible for all the

had intended that when the cover was re-
moved the matches, scraping against the
sandpaper, would ignite and their fame

set on the stun in the test tube, and then
the cartridges. Mr.. Mendeloff took Whit

that 1t undoubtedly contained, among other
things. gasoline.
BUT TWO OF THE PIRM IN TOWN.
The only two members Of the Guggen-
helm firm who were in town and at the office
were Murray and Simon. A report of the
finding OF the package was made to them.
and 1t was suggested that Mr.. Mendelof
take the box to the laboratory OF the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company at
Perth Amboy and make 80 much Of cheni-
cal analysis Of the contents as might be
necessary to determine the exact character
OF the powder and the nature Of the liquid

and returned to New York; last evening.

livered at Kuhn, Loeb & Co.'s Office, 50
William street, in the early mail yesterday
morning.

paper in which the Guggenheim machine

that work for several years. When he

bottom side Of the package first. At once
his attention was attracted to the following

that Baron Komura and Mr.. Takahira
have already recommended to the Toxic
Government that the Japanese position be
modified on certain points. They have
apparently exhausted their present powers
and must await new instructions before
changing the position they have assumed
upon every point In dispute.
In some quarters there has been feeling
ever since the Portsmouth conference
got under way that the Japanese had a
surprise in store. That their original de-
