other punishment devices in rapid
time. AS the climax to a series of
thrills, Harden squeezed himself in
to a huge milk can, made of gal
vanized iron, and then had the re-
ceptacle filled to OVERLOOKING with

secured with six locks. The can was
then showed into a cabinet and in. a

cape. He is planning a new series
OF stunts for every performance, SO
his act is ever-changing.

Washington Asserts That Arrange
ments on cargoes With Britain
Were Entirely Unofficial.

Washington. May 25.-Secretary
Bryan on Saturday ordered the termin-
alton OF the unonicial negotiations
which have been in progress be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain with reference to cotton and
dyestuifs.
Two reasons prompted this action
on the part of the secretary of state
first, he objected to certain phrases In
British notes, which indicated that
the London government was seeking
to lend an ofiicial character to the me-
gotiations, thereby obtaining Ameri-
can recognition Of the validity Of the
British orders in council against which
q strong protest was made. Second,
the administration deemed II inexpedi-
ent to be placed In the position Of ac-
quiescing officially in British practice
respecting American trade while at
the same time making stin demands
upon Germany In connection with the
Lusitania and other tragedies.
The secretary believes the United
States is not bound by these unof-
fetal negotiations.

dated May %, says:
"The Italian government today
caused to be declared. through the
ambassador to the Austrian Hungarian
government. the Duke Of Avarna, that
Italy considers herself In a state OF

with Germany.
"The loyal relationship existing con-
formally with the treaty between Aus

pire, and still more firmly welded by

mained unimpaired by the detection
Of the third ally and his desertion to

bassador, therefore, has received in
