Crushed the Diamond.

Among historic diamonds one. the
Piggott, has gone out Of existence.
The story Of its destruction is a trag-
zeal one. 1t was said to be worth
100000. The diamond came into the
possession Of Ali Pasha. who always
wore it in a green silk purse attached
to his girdle.
He was wearing it when he was
wounded by Reshid Pasha. Knowing
that his wound was mortal. he imme-
diately retired to his divan, gave or.
ders that his favorite wife should be
poisoned and then delivered the dia.
mond to Captain D.Anglas with the
order that 1t should be crushed to pow.
der in his presence. His command wa
obeyed. and the beautiful gem WAS ut
terly destroyed.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 2O.-The war
scare articles in the newspapers allied
to the conservative party in the Dou-
ma have compelled NJ. Isvolsky, min
lister of Foreign Affairs to declare that
current rumors concerning the gravity
of the situation in the far East are ex.
aggerated.
Despite this official statement, re-
ports continue TO circulate. even in
certain official quarters that Japan is
contemplating the annexation of Corea
and that Russia is in no position now
even to go so far as to protest against
this plan.
NJ. Isvolsky in the course of a con.
versation with certain deputies admit
ted that Japan is arming. but that as
yet he doesn't know her motive. There
is, therefore, much anxiety here over
the outcome of the situation.
Her Military Activity.
Exact reports OF Japan's military ac-
tivity have been received at the Minis.

Affairs. It is true that the most Opt

motto healthy optimism" in regard
to Japan. also because the Ministry Of
War has not fully informed the Minis

because Of the strained relations exist
