A CONFLICT NOT UNLIKELY
TREND OF DIPLOMATIC OPINION
IN RUSSIA.
The ituntion ran m
Germany looked Upon as Max
ing War Inevitable.

st. Petersburg.-The most alarm
ing views with reference to the rela-
tions between Germany and France
prevail in certain diplomatic quarters
where the situation is considered to be
extremely tense, and a conflict by no
means unlikely. The ambassador OF
one great European power said that
war, in his opinion, was inevitable, and
had in fact already been decided upon.
ut is sad" added the diplomat, who Is
not ranked among the admirers of EN-
peror William, that for the whims of
one man Europe must be plunged into
the horrors of war"
At the French embassy opinion as to
the situation is frankly pessimistic, and
the outlook at present is regarded as
extremely serious, the view being that
there is no telling what may be in store
if the conference should break off and
France and Germany be left face to
face in uncomprOmisinS opposition.
The abandonment of the French posi-
ton is regarded as impossible. EN-
peror Williams toast at the banquet In
Berlin, Sunday, with it's direct aliu-
sion to the possibility of war, is quoted
with apprehension. The pessimism,
however, is rot general, and German
circles, particularly, manifest far less
alarm, and affect to believe that war
is out CT question. The emperors
words were regarded in these German
circles as merely natural phrases ap-
nlicable 10 his military functions.

Chicago. Johann Hoch is
dead. The drop fell at 1:34 p. M, Fri
day. The hardest man to hang Cook
county ever knew breathed his last one
minute later. The body was cut down
at 1852.
A wall of grief from his fellow pris-
oners sounded through the Jail at the
crash that marked the end of a re-
markable criminal and the finish Of a
fight against the penalty for murder
that for stubbornness, ingenuity and
dramatic features has seldom been
eGualed.

NO CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT
Because Uncle Sam Wants to Know
How Many Fighting Men He Has,
1t Doesn't Mean War.

Washington.-The mere fact that
the war department has asked the adj
jutant generals of the various states
concerning their available military
strength, requesting minute informa-
ton regarding the number and present
disposition of the state troops; their
equipment, arms and munitions OF war,
and their availability for immediate
transportation to a given point OF mo-
b~ilization, has no bearing on the fear
Of trouble with China. 1t is the Gus
tom of the government to make such
inquiries, and they would have been
made if there was no fear of trouble
with China or any other nation. For
instance the records Of the war de-
partment show that Illinois had $3.50
organized militia ON December /, 1905.
and there were 756, 900 men in the state
available for military duty; Indiana
2,648 organized militia and 10000 men
available for duty: Missouri 2,776 and
1872, 000; Ohio 5,537 and CSC, 900; Penn
~sy1vania $500 and $50, 900; New York,
1888 and 1000, 900 available for duty.
The same report shows that on De-
cember /, 1905 all the states had Ill.,
IA organized militia and 10,609,4 S0
men capable of carrying arms.
Uncle Sam always knows how strong
he is on land and sea.
Even in event of trouble with China
the militia would not be called upon.
The United States army is considered
strong enough to cope with any trou-
BILE there; and even if it was not, it
would be recruited up to the required
