The dozen physicians and surgeons who witnessed the autopsy said afterward that they had never heard of a parzllel case and that they were utterly incapable of accounting for what they had seen. Of the eight shots fired into Seli- gren’'s body any one of seven was suf- ficient to cause death and certainly paralysis of the body to such an ex- tent that he would have fallen to the ground helpless. Two of the bullets passed through the heart, three thrcugh the left lung, one through the liver and one through the diaphragm very close to the kidney. The eighth did not enter the abdominal cavity. —_————————— Filipino Agitator Is Still Unfriendly.

An interview published here with Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister to Great Britain, has attracted marked attention in higher government quar- ters, particularly his declarations that unless Russia signed a treaty carrying | out Japan’'s demands war would result, | and his statement that Japan desired to be let alone and would object to any intervention by Great Britain tending toward {nducing the acceptance of Rus- sia’s reply. One of the officials in touch with Foreign Minister Delcasse said Sfoian S that if this interview was genuine, as g 3 it seemed to be, it was of the highest | moment. Baron Hayashi reiterated his pub- lished statements that Japan would in- sist on a signed treaty recognizing Chi- na’s rights in Manchuria, and is quoted | as having said: { “If Russia refuses this treaty we will | fight.” . “Is your Government unalterably de- termined on this course?” the Minister was asked. “Absolutely,” he is said to have re- plied. “We will not take promises. Too | many promises have been broker, and now we insist upon a signed treaty.” The interviewer then asked: “Sup-4 pose Russia’'s answer is conciliatory | and reasonable, but refuses to go loI the extent of signing the treaty you | desire, will your Government have re- . course to arms?” checked or unskillfully treated lead to “That is precisely what I mean,” | confumption, “Golden Medical Discov- replied the Minister. | ey " in ninety-eight cases out of a hun- “If the Government of his Majesty | dred works a perfect and permanent King Edward VII asks Japan not to | - B Srathene Yoo stpmh gl make war,” continued the interviewer, | 9ther organs of digestion az ""’;“3 “and requests her to accept Russia’s| ly fed but S ad m iy reply, what will Japan do?” | - “We shall greatly object to such mt“l oG RR St e lulu e e DR.
