London, Nov. 28.—Baron Suyematsu, son-in-law of Marquis Ito, president of the Japanese privy council, comment was fully indorsed by Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister here, discussing the irritation of Japan at the continued supply of British coal to vessels of the Russian Second Pa- cific squadron, said: “We feel strongly that Europe in general is assisting Russia in a way ‘we never contemplated. Even in Eng- land individuals are rendering indirect assistance. Although I do not think that Japanese are unduly nervous re- garding the effect of the arrival of the Russian squadron in the far East it ‘would never have been able to put to sea but for the assistance of subjects of neutral states, in some cases more or less officially connived at. With- out English coal the Russian squadron could not haye gone far, and it is my belief that when contraband is being carried on in such a wholesale fashion, the government concerned should take steps to prevent a continuance of ac- tion prejudicial to another nationm, es-| pecially an ally. There is all the great. | er necessity for this when the action is prejudicial to the interests of both nations, - The value of the alliance to ndod le niable and therefore it is the bo duty of both to do everything to cement it, even to the extent of venting means for doing so when they. do not already exist.” JAP TROOPS DRIVEN BACK.

PATTERSON CASE POSTPONED. ifiness of a Juror May Necessitate a b New Trial. New York, Nov. 28.—After a respite of two days on account'of Thanksgiv- ing holiday, the trial of Nan Patter- son for the murder of Caesar Young was continued in the criminal branch of the supreme court. The attorneys In the case took advantage of the re- cess to exert all their energies: toward bringing closer together the matcrial points upon which depends the sug- cess or failure of their case. Rumor, which has figured prominently in the case since the trial began, also was active during the interval. One of.the stories. which gained wide circulation and which, if true, undoubtedly would have added materially to the sensa- tional sida of the trial, was to the ef/ fect that J. Morgan Smith, Nan Pat- terson’s brother-in-law, who fled after he had been subponaed-to_appear be- fore the grand jury, had bee® found and was locked upat police hesdguar- ters. This report: was denied by the police. The prosecution has kept up an unremitting search for Smith ever since he disappeared. They charge that it was Smith who putchased the I revolver with which Young was shot and that he would prove to be their strongest wijness if he could be found. The illness of Juror Edward- Dress- ler caused a sudden and unexpected adjournment In fhe Patterson murder trial. The serious illness of Juror Edward Dressler may necessitate a new trial in the case of Nan Patterson, as Mr. Dressler is suffering from apoplexy and his condition is serious. Miss Patterson was -in court when the adjournment was announced. She expressed keen disappointment at the sudden and unexpected interruption in the progress of the trial. GREAT WESTERN ROAD SOLD PERSISTENTLY REPORTED THAY UNION PACIFIG HAS BOUGHT THE MAPLE LEAF. Chicago, Nov. 28.—The Post says: The report that the Union Pacific has purchased the Chicago Great West- ern road was reiterated during the afternoon with such positiveness and circumstantial evidence in its favor that it received general acceptance. The deal, which has been pending &t some time, was said to havé been closed and the Chicago Great Western will shortly lose its identity as an in- dependent road and either be wholly absorbed by the Uniom Pacific itself or distributed piecemeal among the Eastern connections of that system. One report has it that the Chicago Great’ Western will be divided betwesn the Chicago and Northwestern and the Milwaukee and St. Paul systems, both of which have for sevefal years been close connections of the Union Paci- fic. The Northwestern, it is said, will take that portion of the Maple Leaf which runs from Marshalltown, Ia., to Kansas City, and the Milwaukee and St. Paul will take the St. Paul end of the line. There is another view ' ot the case, however, which is that the Union Pa- cific will keep the Maple TLeaf and operate it as the Eastern end of its own system. It will, it is declared, give the Union Pacific a very good outlet from Omaha to Chicago and the short line from Omaha to St. Paul. REPORT NOT CONFIRMED. Wall Street, However, Thinks Some Deal Has Been Made. New York, Nov. 28.—No eonfirma- Ttion of the reported purchase of\the Chicago Great Western railway by the Union Pacific_interests is obtainable. An- interest identified with the latter road refused to discuss the report and representatives of the Chicago Great ‘Western had nothing to say. In Wall street it is generally believed- that there has been an accumulation of Great Western securities and that some announcement ox’ a deal will soon be made. ADUPTS A NEW CREED. Theological Semlinary Discards West- minster Confession of Faith. : Pittsburg, Nov. 28.—Rev. Dr. David Schley Schaff, professor of church his- tory at the Western Theolegical sem- inary, Allegheny City, confirms the report that the Union Theological sem- inary of New York has discarded the/| ‘Westminster confession of faith and unanimously adopted a new creed. Dr. Schaff, who recently returned from New York, said, the action was taken last week when the board of directors received two gifts of $150, 000 each.
