There were two sets of defendants In the case, one consisting of Lewis Corbit and the heirs of Stephen Gau- | thies |of the most | grand master Japanese court, | side make it extremely di and (e ¢ Antoine Barabe.

His Apartments Visited While He Was Seeing the Fair St. Louis, Nov. 25.—Two handsome diamonds rings and one pearl ring belonging to Prince Sananaru Fushi- mi of Japan and a beautifully em- bossed emblem belonging to A. Sato, of ceremonies at the the gift and decora- tion of a European monarch to Mr. Sato, have been stolen from the apartments of the royal visitors at the Buckingham club while the prince and his suite were visiting the world’s | fair grounds. The missing jewels were the favorite | ornaments of the mikado's cousin, and, besides aggregating in value, it is said, | between $4,000 and §5,000, were heir- [ Tooms. It was his special fondness to wear them on all state functions, as their history was interwoven with his pub- lic life. The stolen decorations be- longing to A. Sato are valued for its associations and the high station of the donor. GREAT BATTLE IMMINENT. Marshal Oyama Preparing to Attack Kuropatkin. St. Petersburg, Nov. 25 pears ances again point to the possibility of a big battle south of Mukden. The Japanese, according to an oflicial re- port, have received a severe setback in the vicinity of Sintsintin, in which direction they apparently were at- tempting to execute a wide turning movement. Military opinion here scarcely believes it possible thal the two great armies ¢an winter less than a rifie shot distance from each other, though the heavy defenses on eacll flicult for either to assume the offemsive. It is believed, however, that if the dead- lock is to be broken General Kuropat- kin will let Field Marshal Oyama take the initiative, as the Russians have the bett of the present namely, a rong line of defense, and Mukden behind them, making satisfac- tory winter quarters, where the Rus- sian reinforcements are now accumu- lating for an advance next spring. The Japanese also are being strongly rein- forced. The rivers are already frozen sufficiently to permit of the movement | of artillery and commissariat trains, so that the country actually is better adapted to a Japanese. advance thap during the summer.

New York, Nov. 25.—Dispatches re- ceived in ILondon, says a dispatch from that city to the Times, have aroused considerable anxiety in some quarters in regard to the future reia- tions between Canada and the mother country. Many English statesmen appear to believe, the correspondent continues, that there is a strong probability of closer commercial relations between Canada and the United States, which { would result immediately in great! damage to England’s_ colonial trade and eventually, perhaps, in the disso- lution of the political ties that unite England and her American colony.
