ANXIETY FOR Mr.. CLEVELAND.
Former President Said to Have Cancer
of the Stomach.

New York, May Considerable
anxiety was occasioned Friday by
widely circulated rumors that the con-
dition Of ex-President Grover Cleve-
land, who has been ill for several
weeks at a hotel in Lakewood, N. j.,
had assumed a grave phase and that
slight hopes were entertained Of his
recovery.
The Evening World gave prominence
to reports current at the offices of the
Equitable Life Assurance society, of
which Mr.. Cleveland is a voting trus-
tee, that the former presidents ply
sicians had diagnosed his illness as
cancer Of the stomach and had decided
that there was no hope Of their dis
tinguished patients recovery.
Positive denial Of these statements
was not obtainable. DR.. Joseph D.
Bryant, who has attended Mr.. Cleve-
land for years, said that his patient
was "all right" and that all his reports
from Lakewood were favorable.

Empress Taking the "cure."


Under the name of Princess Strech-
noff, the empress of Russia is staying
in hotel at Rapallo trying to regain
her health, which has been shattered
by many anxieties, not to mention the
attempt to reduce her avoirdupois.
The omnipresent press correspondent
does not seem to have discovered the
poor lady's whereabouts, or, with un-
common consideration, has refrained
from calling attention to this scene OF
her "cure." But, though travelling in.
cognito, and an invalid at that, with a
numerous suite, it has been impossible
for Rapallo to keep the secret. Prob
ably since it has become known that
the lovely Czarina is on Italian soil a
sympathetic, if not inquisitive, throng
will be moving on the hotel where she
is in retreat. At least, Rapallo is now
quite fashionable. and there are great
days in store for the Modern hotel
when her majesty departs.

CRIMINALS MEN OF SCIENCE.
To outwit Them Detectives Must
Make Use of Modern Methods.

The methods employed by criminals
have improved" They have be-
come scientific. The criminal of to-
day handles chloroform, opium,
morphia, with all the cleverness of q
physician.
Again, the tools used by the modern
jail bird are unrivaled masterpieces.
One amazing proof of the scientific
knowledge of the modern criminal and
his keenness in keeping abreast Of
modern discoveries lies in the follow
ing fact: Recently in Marseilles the
huge safe of bank was rapidly
opened by means Of complicated ap-
paratus which had only been invented
by prominent engineer ten months
previously!
But the detective also avails him
self of scientific discovery. Former
ly in cases of forgery, for instance, a
drop Of water was placed on the
forged words. If the paper had been
scratched and it's size removed the
water was Immediately sucked in; If
the paper had not been scratched the
drop remained for awhile on the top.
This process was primitive and spoiled
the document.
Nowadays the suspicious paper is
photographed and on the proof the
marks of scratching are easily detect
ed by clear differences in the color.
Photography is used also in the case
of forgeries made by means of chem
icals.
When a heap of burned documents
is found in the fireplace thin sheets of
glass are inserted between the burned
papers. AS soon as one sheet is on the
glass it is rendered less brittle. by
means of special liquid and it ia
unfolded and photographed. The
process is repeated with every sheet,
and after a few hours all the docu-
ments are easily read.
A process formerly used for the
classification of blood stains consist.
ed In examining them under the mi.
croscope and from the appearance OF
the red globules the investigators
would draw their conclusions as to the
nature of the blood. Unfortunately
this examination gave no result when
the blood stains were not recent.
To-day more scientific method is
used. The stain is washed; few
drops of the water used are poured
into tube containing some specific
serum from rabbit inoculated with
human blood. When the addition o.
water produces in the serum a fine de
posit and gives misty appearance

Washington, May 1.-Baron Taxa
hira, the Japanese ambassador, was
just about to start for the state depart
ment Thursday when he was shown
the dispatch from Tokyo telling of the
loss of life by the explosion on the
cruiser Matsushima. 1t was the first
news the ambassador had received of
the tragedy and he expressed deep
regret over the occurrence. With their
usual caution and conservatism the
naval officials at Tokyo evidently are
obtaining all the information possible
before giving out any full report of
the disaster. No report of the explo-
sion reached the navy department dur
ing the morning from the American
naval attache at Tokyo. Naval officers
who at once looked up the record of
the cruiser drew the conclusion that
her loss was not a heavy one to the
Japanese navy.

at La Seyne, France. Her principal
historic record consists of her part

when she was the flagship of Admiral
Ito in the battle Of the Yalu river. She
also participated in the battle of the
