'powers guess at next move Russians and Germans Have Al lies On Anxious Bench. U \ KEEP UP HOSTILITIES Czar ’s Commander Says He Pro poses to Go Ahead Regardless of What Others Do. 1 a Washington special says: Thera 8 j,great anxiety in official circles over 1 the attitude of Russia and Germany in 8 The announcement that the 1 reneral commanding the Russian I troops has said he proposes to go I bead with his operations regardless of 1 what the other powers do, because his 1 government has declared war against 1 china, is considered by the president I *nd his advisers as the gravest kind of I , complication, opening up, as it does, I ill sorts of possibilities of continued I trouble. I Germany’s attitude is also being I hewed with alarm. While there has been no statement from Germany like that of the Russian general, it is re garded as significant that the German government declines to accept Li Hung Chang as an authorized envoy of China and that military prepara tions are being rapidly rushed for ward by the Germans. In diplomatic circles there is a feeling that the kaiser and the czar have a little un derstanding between themselves which bodes more or less trouble to the rest of Europe, and which is likely to in volve this country so long as we are on the scene with our troops. According to one member of the di plomatic corps the opinion prevails that Russia and Germany consider this in excellent opportunity to force Eng land to show her hand and incidentally to bring about, a condition which will inure to their benefit in more ways than one. The possibility of these complica tions was the chief theme discussed at Friday’s meeting of the cabinet and the understanding is that it was de termined by that meeting that this government should take immediate steps looking to a more definite ascer tainment of the views and intentions of the European powers, and prepara tions to this end have already been taken. A decidedly unpleasant piece of news which conspired to add to the pessimistic view of the situation held by some officials w r as the report from Consul Johnson of serious outbreaks at Amoy. This is in the southern part of China, much farther south than Shanghai, and is a point where there are greater American interests than there are in any other part of China. The news of this outbreak was very much of a surprise to the officials, who have not thought of the possibility of trouble in tbat quarter. An American vessel and American marines are to go there at once for the protection of American interests. Russia now has Manchuria at her mercy. The St. Petersburg corres pondent of The Mail states that after Zizikar and Moukden have been stormed the subjugation of the pro vince will be complete. — THE INVINCIBLE FITZ. Sharkey Pounded Into Insensibility In Than Two Rounds. Whipped into insensibility in less than two rounds is the story in brief of Tom Sharkey’s meeting with Bob Fitzsimmons at the Coney Island Sporting Club Friday night. Fitz simmons was the victor, Sharkey the loser. Fitzsimmons said all along that *hen an opportunity presented itself he would prove conclusively that he w as Sharkey’s superior and settle ac counts for the injustice done him when he met Sharkey in California four years ?o. Sharkey was equally confident that he would prove to be Fitzsimmons’ faster in the ring, but the result of the battle and the brevity of it proved that Fitzsimmons is still a great lighter ft uu able to beat the best of the heavy weights.

CHASED BY FORTUNE. Lack of a Cranky Geologist Who Was After Specimens Only. One of the most valuable mineral deposits in the Black Hills district was originally discovered by a cranky geo logist who had to be forced into proflt lng by his find,” said an old mining man, spinning yarns the other night. “He was a weazened-up little chap named Fulienwood, and, if I remem ber rightly, he came from Buffalo, N. Y. Anyhow, he was professor of geology In some small college up the State and came out west on a vaca tion. Being an enthusiast, he couldn’t rest and enjoy the air and scenery like an ordinary tourist, but trotted ofT to the Black Hills district to study the geological formation. He prowled around with a long-handled hammer for several months and finally turned up in Denver with an enormous box, full ot pieces of rock. One day a prac tical mining man, with whom he had become acquainted, was looking over the collection and ran across a speci men that showed free gold to the nak ed epe. ‘Great Scott!’ he exclaimed, ‘what mine does this come from?’ ‘No mine at all,’ replied the professor;’ ‘I found it in such and such a stratum.’ And he launched into a learned disser tation on the geological characterists of the locality. ‘Well, did you stake out a claim?” inquired the other. ‘Cer tainly not,’ said the professor; ‘I am not a prospector, sir, I’m a scientist!’ “The mining man was astonished and insisted on having the sample as sayed at once, but the professor would not hear t it. He declared indignant ly that he could not spare the speci men from his collection. To make a long story short, his visitor slipped up to the room next day, when he happened to be out, secured the chunk of rock, had it tested and then rushed off, poste-haste, to the Hills. He found the spot from the professor’s descrip tion, located a claim, did a little de velopment work, and later on sold out for $30,000 cash. He gave the profes sor SIO,OOO and had the hardest kind of a job in getting the little man to take it. Fulleuwood was red hot, too, about the loss of his specimen. Alto gether it was the queerest case of for tune chasing a man down and grab bing him by the coat-tails that I ever heard of in my life. The property was afterward known as the ‘Empire No. 1’ mine and belongs to a group that is still being worked with much prof it.’—New Orleans Times-Deinocrat. Believes In Good Roads.
