vIvIANo CHILDREN FOUND
On Vacant Lot, Benumbed by Drugs
and Hungry.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Tomasso Viviano,
aged 5. and his sister, Grace Viviano,
aged 215 years, abducted from their
home in st. Louis August by the
Black Hand society, and for whose dis.
eovery a reward of $4,000 was offered,
were today found wandering the
streets here, nearly starved and evi
IDENTIFY recovering from some powerful
drug.
As nearly as they can remember, they
have had no food for two days and
nights, and found themselves sleeping
in vacant lot, where they had evident
" been placed after being drugged by
their abductors.
For a week Chicago and st. Louis
detectives have been raiding Italian
colonies here. All loopholes for escape
had been closed, and the chase had
been so hot that it is believed the alb
duetors drugged the children and
turned them loose, fearing to kill them
with the officers close to their heels.
There is absolutely no trace of the alb
duetors.

JAPAN MUCH DISTURBED.
Americans and British to Build Rail-
road in China.

Washington, Oct. 15.-American and
British capitalists have about completed
arrangements with the Chinese govern
ment to build a railroad from Chin
Chow Flu through Mongolian territory
to Tsitsihar, distance of about 400
miles. This fact seems to have dis
turbed the equanimity of Japan.
Published reports from Pekin indi-
cate that Japan has given China notice
that it will maintain its right under
the two treaties concluded last month
to be consulted with respect to Man
churian railways. Japan says it re-
serves decision with regard to subse-
quent action.
Among officials here it is regarded as
doubtful if Japan will be permitted to
interfere, without objection, in this or
other enterprises in Chan or Man
ehuria in which Americans are inter
ested. The fact that an objection to
the construction of the proposed Chin
Chow Fu-Tsitsihar road is hinted at by
Japan is regarded here as tending to
support allegations of monopolistic in
clinations on the part of Japan.
The proposed railroad through Mon
golia will be about 400 miles in length
to Tsitsihar, and, if extended on the
Amur, its total length will approximate
600 miles. The fact that it will tap the
Russian Siberian road at Tsitsi-
har is thought to explain the supposed
uneasiness of Japan, and, inasmuch as
the Chinese Eastern and South Man
churian line, because of its more direct
route and shorter distance to the south,
would be likely to become a strong
competitor to the latter road, which is
now controlled by Japan.
Government officials here regard ia
pans opposition to the Hsinmintun-
Fakumen line as retarding the develop
ment by China of portion of her ter
ritory, and as in direct violations of ar
tiele 4 of the treaty of Portsmouth,
which states that "Japan and Russia
reciproeally engage not to obstruct any
general measures common to all, or
steps which China may take for the de-
velopment of commerce and industry in
Manchuria -

Atlanta Suffers Big Loss.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 16.-Unroofed
houses and leveled trees and shrubbery
mark the wake of the terrible wind
and hail storm which swept over At.
lanta and surrounding country early
last night. So far as known no lives
were lost. The property damage is va
riously estimated at from $4,000 to
100000.
At the height of the storm street car
traffic was stopped throughout the city,
and live wires broken by the hail were
stretched across many streets, render,
ing travel dangerous.
At Riverdale, 16 miles south of At.
lanta, Mrs. Olga Grey was probably
fatally injured, and her two children,
and Mrs. Joseph Stubs seriously hurt,
by falling trees.
The most serious damage done the
National cemetery was the wrecking of
the Iowa state monument, which was
blown from its pedestal. The superin,
tendent's quarters were destroyed.

His first experience occurred last
sunday night at a public meeting.
where anonymous Chinese spirits were
described to DR.. WI by a "trance
medium" as lowering in the distin.
guished diplomats s Immediate vicinity
DR.: WI exhibited great interest
Last night he went again, this time
to smaller seanee at a private bonse
Dr' WI refused last night to discuss
ms experience or impressions. and even
showed solicitude lest his presence AZ
the seanee should be the subject of
newspaper mention. The woman me.
dlum who oficiated-a different one
this time-brought to him messages
purporting to come from the late Presi.
dent Mckinley, who was an intimate
friend of DR.. WI, and also from the
own mother. Tho latter was
the more startling because, apparently,
delivered in the Chinese .l,guage.
These messages are claimed bv the
splritualists to be broughS to the me-
dium in trance by the sPirit of a l6.
year-old American Indian girl, under
whose control" she speaks in broken
English; yet the conversation between
Dr. Wu and the medium, while osten.
sibly under this "control, " was some
what extensive, lasting fully five min
utes, and seemed to be in the Chinese
vernacular, question and answer, unin.
telhgible to the auditors, passing back
and forth with considerable freedom.
There was every evidence that the din.
omat perfectly understood the commu-
nication which apparently appeared to
come from the spirit of DR.. Wu's own
mother. 1t was asserted that the
medium and her "control" are both
absolutely ignorant of the Chinese Ian
yuape.
