CHINA SUBMITS TO RUSSIA
There Seemed to be No Alternative
IN View Of china's Utter I'm
preparedness for War.

Pekin. -China is not prepared to
lnragonize Russia completely, and as
result of prolonged conferences the
Chinese foreign Office on Sunday as
sured the Russian minister, NJ. kor-
,gtoyetz that China will acquiesce un-
,eservedly TO the demands made In
the Russian uItimatum concerning the
provisions Of the treaty Of 1881. Rus
STA had insisted upon an answer be-
fore Tuesday.
1t is generally considered that there
was no alternative course, in view Oh
China's utter unpreparedness for war.
Intense interest Is being manifested
In the attitude Of Japan, which is OBJ
yiously holding entirely aloof, al
though more powerful than ever at
Pekin.
While the issues between China and
Russia have been almost obliterated
by the recent series of ultimatums,
and theoretically insufficient cause
for occupation exists, Russia appar-
emily fears that she could obtain only
paper promises which the Chinese
would not observe unless intimidated.
Russians here point out that they
have less now in the way OF conces-
sions from China than when the
treaty was signed.

LILLIAN GRAHAM SAYS
 SHE WAS KIDNAPPED
Missing Actress Located at Hotel in
 Poughkeepsie.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 2S.-Lillian Graham, under indictment and at lib- erty on $1e,0G0 bail pending trial for the shooting of " F. D. Stokes, q wealthy New York hotel proprietor, was located at hotel here this eve ming. Miss Graham disappeared from New York Sunday night. She said she had been kidnapped.
 According to Miss Graham's story to Chief of Police McCabe, she left the home of her sister, Mrs John Single ton, Saturday night at hast-past ten o'clock, to go to nearby store for some butter and headache powders
 When l got to the corner she is said to have told the police "a man approached and threw over my head a cloth that smelled like tar. I strug- slsd and tried to make an outcry. but was unable to do so. I was pulled along into 8 motor vehicle and re- membered getting inside where I heard man and woman talking and saying something about threats' That was the last I remember until I was shaken by the shoulder and looking up heard a conductor say 'Poughkeepsie; last stop I got off the train, walked out side, and heard a taxi driver say, and went to the hotel, where I have since been.'' At the hotel Miss Gra- ham registered as Lillian Clark.
 When asked by the chief why she did not communicate with her rela- tives the next day she replied she had been thinking of it, but did not do so. She seemed to have no explanation to offer when asked why she did not re- turn to New York
 Miss Graham's attorney was notified and replied that he would come for her at once.

London, July 25.-Another exciting day of political conferences, party cau- cuses and ministerial visits to the king left the crisis no nearer solution than yesterday. The session of the house of commons today was not. important but much heat and bitterness was dis played and there was renewed hnging of epithets such as 'Hottsntot,'' "inso- lent wine,'' and similar terms. The only significant incident of the session was that F. E. Smith, one of the leaders in yesterdays turmoil, quilted his accus- toned seat among the adherents of Balfour and ranged himself with the Lord Hugh Cecil and other insurgent unionists.
 The most important event of the day was the publication of a letter which Mir. Balfour wrote to Lord Newton in reply to request for his opinion on the situation

Halifax. N.

The crew. however, got off and saved some of their effects
 Capt. N. H. Small, the navigator, says the stranding of the craft was due to strong southerly winds, caus- ing an excessive -draught to the Bay of Fundy. and to the heavy fog, which made, it impossible to take an observation for 36 hours before the ac- cident. At the next high tide an effort will be made to save the new engine.

HOTEL TAFT TO CONFORM.
Architect to Make Trip te New Haven to Look Over Architecture Around Green.

In order to have the Hotel Taft cor respond as nearly as possible with the buildings now under construction around the green, and those that are in contemplation, all of which are more or less of continental design, F. M. Andrews, the architect of the hotel, will come to New Haven says <the Journal-Courier, and under his direct supervision experiments will be con- ducted as to the color and general style of brick to be used above the third story. As far as the hotel has already progressed, with two stories of stone and coping, the colonial effect is apparent, and the experiments to be conducted will carry out this idea still further. There is to be one more story of stone. and after that brick.
 It is probable that MT. Andrews will try to match the color of the original brick in the Center church, which is to be restored. but at all events the experiments will be thorough and the result in keeping with the general ten- dency towards beautifying the green and harmonizing the buildings facing it.
 MT Andrews has just returned from a trip to Europe. While there he att tended the meeting of the Information al Academy of Arts and Science. d world famed organization and deiiv- cred an address.

INDUSTRIAL FARM.
Prospect of One Being Located Near
 Waterbury.

Plans are under way for the estab- : lisEment of an industrial farm and re- fornatory in the vicinity of Waterbury, says the Republican. The plan is be- ing supervised by Supt. Nicholas Com bellack of the Boys club and a number of local men are ready to back it. A site has not yet been selected but one is being looked for.
 The purpose of the new farm is to care for boys under 16 who have been convicted in the city court. It is be- lieved that such boys will be benefited more than if they were sent to the state reformatory. During the summer the boys will enjoy vacation, just as though they were home, but in win ter they will be compelled to attend school under the same regulations as exist in the public schools.
 The products of the farm will be used to supply the table of the Boys club, and the farm, if the plans are carried out, will be the first of ts kind in the state
