ing him to the floor. He raised the

to arise and struck him across tho top
of the head, killing him almost Instant
ly. Buntyn had slain the Intruder In

NOTHING IN PEACE TALK. j
Foreign Office at London Says No
Foundation for Report.
London. Feb. 6.—The foreign office
declares there Is no foundation for the j
report thst conference** have taken j
place at Berlin between Chancellor
Von Buelow and the British ambasss- j
dor. Sir Frank Lascelles, with the ob- ;
Ject of . bringing about peace be- 1
tween Russia and Japan. The offi
cials here know nothing ol say pro
posals from either Germany, Great
Britain, or anywhere erse, suggesting
an effort Jointly or otherwise, to stop
the war.
From Berlin.
Berlin. Feb. 6.—The London report
that Emperor William considers this
sn opportune moment for Great Bri
tain and Germany to jorn In an effort
for peace In the Far East Is treated
by the foreign office here as being
merely a revival of an old phantasy
quite without semblance of a founda
tion. Russia has given no Intimation
that she desires peace and It Is
deemed here Impossible that Germany
should advise or suggest peace with
out an Invitation from both belliger
ents. The real situation now pre
cludes tho powers from offering to
mediate, u they did In the case of
president Roosevelt two months ago.
