Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, June 9.-Con-
vinced that DR.. e. Z. Duncanson, the
Chino man arrested for cruelty to ami
mails and to children, which latter he
obtained in some unknown manner from
the Victoria home at Los Angeles ana
the training school at Pasadena, was
endeavoring to escape from the county,
officers here last night rearrested him
and tonight he is in Jail, pending trial
and further investigation of a mystery
developed today.
Duncan had been released on his own
recognizance. The children, which
were taken from the Duncanson ranch
at Chino, said today that skeleton
recently had been plowed up on his
ranch by farm hands, the bones appar-
emily being those of a child.
Duncanson was sought Immediately
and sould not be located. Deputy
Sheriff Baldwin became uneasy and
sent Constable Tebo and Deputy Sheriff
Rose in quest of him. They went to the
ranch house last night and caught Dun
canson as he was returning under cover
of darkness, about 8 o'clock. He was
surprised but offered no resistance.
When confronted with the story of
the finding of the child's skeleton Dun
canson did not deny 1t. declaring the
bones were those of his own child, bur-
led on the ranch twenty years ago.
Duncanson is a licensed physician.
Since his release on the charge of cru
city to animals and children several
new warrants have been issued against
him, charging further gross treatment
of the little ones. One of the warrants
charges battery on the boy and the
other with cruelty to animals.
The manner in which Duncanson Sc
cured the boy from the Victoria train
ing school, Los Angeles, and the girl
from the Pasadena training school, also
will be carefully investigated. 1t is not
known how many other children he may
have had on his farm at different times.
1t is said If the management of either
home had investigated they would not
have permitted the boy or girl to have
gone there, as it is declared to be de-
void of the most meager comforts.
Duncanson has secured an attorney
and says he will fight all the charges.
He Is silent as to how he obtained pos
session of the children and offers no
explanation regarding his alleged cruel
conduct.
The Duncanson place will be tnvesti-
gated by officers today.

REVAL Russia, June 9.-Edward
VII. king of England, and Emperor
Nicholas of Russia exchanged royal
visits today on the water of the bay of
Reval in the Gulf of Finland.
1t was a notable meeting and one
in the worlds policies of the future.
The day was brilliant with sunshine
and the imperial yachts. surrounded
by British and Russian warships. ly-
ing in the roadstead, made a beauti-
full and impressive picture. The hills
and the wooded shores of the bay were
crowded with thousands and the ar
rival of the British king by sea and
the emperor of Russia by land was
made the occasion of unbounded en-
thusiasm.
During the course of the day the
king and emperor were the guests of
the -dowager empress at luncheon on
board the Russian yacht Polar Star,
which was crowded with guests.
All of the warships were brilliantly
illuminated and the yachts Polar Star
and Alexandra displayed special elec-
trical effects
Early in the evening boatloads of
German and Russian residents steamed
about in the roadsted and serenaded
the royal visitors with national folk
songs, the singing of the Esthonians
being particularly pleasing coming over
the moonlit waters. The members of
the royal parties remained on deck
until after midnight, listening to the
music.
King Edward had long private con-
sultation with Premier Stolypin after
luncheon, returning to the cabin with
him. Nothing in reference to the pur-
pose of the consultation has been pub
lished, but it is supposed they touched
political conditions only in a general
way.

ENGLISHMEN STILL HOPE
FOR CLOSER ALLIANCE

LONDON, June 9.-Foreign Secre-
tary Grey's announcement in the house
of commons that no negotiations for
new treaties would be initiated during
the kings visit put an end to talk of
probable triple alliance between
France, Russia and England. but it did
not affect the hope of those English
men who are DESTROYS for closer rela-
tions between these three nations. that
important diplomatic questions will re-
suit from the meeting today of the
king and emperor and their advisers.
No secret is made of the fact that
the presence of Sir Charles Harding
and NJ Oswolsky at Reval is for the
purpose of discussing questions that
have arrived out of the convention
which put an end to the recriminations
between Russia and Great Britain over
Persia and Thibet and Afghanistan,
more particularly the present unsatis-
factory state of affairs in Persia. The
good effects of this agreement already
have been shown in the speedy end
ing of the threatening frontier war on
the Indian border. situation which
in the old days of suspicion and en-
nifty between Great Britain and Russia
might have led to an Afghan war.
The unanimity of the two govern
ments in dealing with Persia also has
proved the stability Of this agreement.
but the shifting conditions in Persia
makes necessary a thorough threshing
out of that subject. upon whom no
one is better than the men gathered
today at Reval.
Another difficult question--one that
might be resented by the other powers
did they know 1t was receiving atten-
tion-is the Macedonian affair. 1t is
hoped that this can be settled by the
cordial co-operatio nof Russian and
British diplomacy.
Following so soon upon the visit to
England of President Fallieres Of
France it Is hard to disabuse the public
mind of the feeling that King Edwards 8
trip to Reval has also some relation to
European affairs and as an actual al
lance is considered impossible at pres
ent. serious thought is being given the
suggestion that this exchange of visits
signifies that Great Britain's policy in
Europe in the future follows closely
that of the dual alliance between
France and Russia.
The foreign office says that too much
Significance must not be attached to
this visit, but this is the usual official
policy during such negotiations.

Asked If he had abandoned any part

Mr.. Gould said the Wheeling & Lake
