TOPREVENTR RUPTURE
RUSSIA USING ALL HER INFLlJ.
ENCE AT BERLIN IN THE IN.
TEREST OF PEACE,

st. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-Russia is
using all her influence at Berlin to pre-.
vent a rupture between France and
Germany. Her action has been taken
at the Instance of Paris, where the
fouVler government is apparently con-
WINGED that Germany proposes to per-
sist in her attitude even to the point
OF provoking war. On account of the
close relations existing between the
courts of Berlin and st. Petersburg it
Is believed in France that Russia will
nave more influence upon Emperor
William than any other power. Earnest
representations in favor of concessions
to insure avoidance of an appeal to
arms were accordingly made, to which
Germany replied that she had no de-
sire to provoke war. Nevertheless,
she gave no indication that she pro-
posed to modify her attitude and Rus
sia's latest advices from Algeciras in
dictate that practically all hope of an
agreement has been abandoned. Al.
though Count Cassini, head of the Rus
sian mission, reports that the confer
ence will be fruitless he expresses a
decided opinion that hostilities will
not result. Russia is much concerned
about the situation, as war between
France and Germany would greatly
embarrass her. Not only is the Rus
sian government SO engrossed with
the interior situation as not to be in a
position to offer aid to her ally, but
war would end the possibility of con-
tracing another loan in Paris, Of
which Russia is in urgent need.

Ladd and Edward Dean, negroes, both
OF whom had been placed under arrest
here, and, because of threatened lynch
ing, hurried under cover of darkness by
the authorities to Dayton, where they
are now in jail.
When the mob learned that the
prisoners had been taken from the city
1t went to that part Of town known as
THE Jungle" inhabited by colored
people, and began to burn and loot
dwelling houses and saloons. At
least six dwellings were burned and
the contents of one saloon looted.
A force of seventy-five members of
local military companies are guarding
the scene where the mob holds sway.
h authorities believe the two me-
groes were saved from being lynched
only by their removal from the city.
At an early hour in the morning
Sheriff Almoney had wired Governor
Pattison for all available troops at
once and to hold others in readiness
for possible call later.
The authorities say that the scenes
are similar to those which ended in
the lynching of Richard Dixon, a me-
gro, in this city two years ago.
The mob looted a saloon on East
Columbia street. The owner and his
wife fled, leaving their three children.

only by the hardest efforts of police

death for assaulting two women in
Somerset county, some weeks ago, was
on Wednesday placed aboard the
steamer Governor r, M. McLsne OF
the Maryland Oyster navy and started
for Somerset county to be executed
for his crime.
Lees 9 has been one OF great
diff 3ulty to the authorities owing to
the Indignation the crime aroused on
the eastern shore Of Maryland. 1t
has been repeatedly declared that the
citizens OF that locality will never
allow tho negro to DO legally executed
and threats OF burning at the stake
have been freely made. After the
crime Lee fed to the eastern shore of
Virginia, and to protect him from
Maryland pursuers he was taken to
Norfolk under guard of Virginia State
troops, thence he was brought back to
the city, tried and convicted prompt
ly. The law gives . convicted MUIR

viction and his execution. This
period expired Wednesday.
