R ia Confers with France, PARITS, Oct. 26.—The Foreign office has been advised that the Russian forelgn min- Ister, Count Lamsdorff, has revised his plans and that he now expects to arrive in Paris tomorrow and remain here until Baturday, conferring fully with Foreign Minister Delcasse on questions relating to the éast and far east. Much importance is being attached by the officials to the meeting. They connect it with the attitude of the powers in the Balkan guestion and with the strained Russo-Japanese situation. While the ofi- clas will not discuss the exact nature of the conference, they "r it will doubtless wover all the phases of the Franco-Rus- slan relations. During the predent strained relations between Japan and Russia the understand- ing has prevalled here that the Franco- Russian allfance had same operation in the far east aa in but the ex- tent of French sympathy in support of Russis. would. depend..on who was ‘the Aggreasor. An American officlal conversant with the +French policy pointed out today that the T'ranco-Russian and Britsh-Japanese al- llances operated strongly to prevent an outbreak of hostilities between Japan and Russia. Express agreement contemplates support when the ally Is attacked. There- fore, Russin and Japan defer taking ac- tion, not wishing, by being the aggressor, to sacrifice the benefit of Its nce. It Is expected that these and other features of Franco-Russian co-operation will, be gone over at the conference to be held during the next few days. Not Necessary to Insure.

Death was induced, ac- cording to the death certificate of the at- tending physictan, by a “primary fracture of the skull by the Omaha police. This finding of the physician revives the story of how Dean received the frac- ture five years ago in the Folley saloon at Fourteenth and Dodge streets, In a free-for-all fight which took plice on a Saturday morning at about 2 o'clock dur- Ing the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival in 1398, The officer who arrested Dean and saw part of the fight had this to say: “Dean and several companions were drinking at the bar when a dispute over a trivial matter lead to the exchange of blows and Jimmy Lindsay, at that time in the prize-fighting business, engaged in a battle royal. The others joined in and Pop bottles were used freely. Dean was worsted in the fight and getting away from Lindsay, started to run in the direction of the Continental Clothing company's store which occupled the corner at Fif- teenth and Douglas. The crowd followed him and several pop bottles were bounced off his head as he ran, Soon after Dean returned to the saloon and declared he was going to clean out the place. 1 told him not to go in, but he Insisted and struck at me. I warded off the blow and hit him on the head with a short leather billy I was then carrying. This seemed to dampen his ardor for a resumption of hos- tilities and he accompanied me peacefully to the station. Shortly after I learned he became partially demented from the effects of a skull fracture received during the melee. I have never seen him since, but 1 understood then that an operation was performed.” “Tony” Dean, as he was familiarly known, never wholly recovered from the eftects of the fracture sustained in that fight and his death last Baturday is said to be the direct result of the fracture, with paralysis a contributing cause. It is understood that the relatives of the de- ceased have several times endeavored to bring suit to recover camages sxd it is learned that they are now trying to re- vive interest in their contention.
