Prior to the formal assembling of the conference it is probable, if precedent be followed, that a peace protocol will be negotiated.

PARIS, June 15.—The choice of Washington for the meeting place of the peace plenipotentiaries gives gen- eral satisfaction here, as it is consid- ered the appropriate result of Presi- dent Roosevelt's Initiative. Diplomats are inclined to take the view that the selection of Washington is the first diplomatic victory for Ja- pan, as Russian influence favored .a Buropean point, while Japan was op- posed to meeting in Europe.

This is | based primarily on the belief that | Japan will meet Russia more than half way, making unexpectedly reasonable | @emands. Certain intimations have | been received here that Japan's terms ally as follows: recognition of the Japanesc protectorate over Korea. 2. The return of Manchuria to China. 3. International control of the Bast- Chinese Railroad. 4. Regarding Port Arthur, the.strat- | i | | | ern | -al | over value of this fortress has been | imated and it is said that its | ultimate disposal will not give rise to any controversy. | 5.

An understanding regarding an in- demnity is not impossible, because, it carried the war into Russian with demanding the cost of the war. The Japanese Minister here, in an in- terview, said that if Russia honestly desired peace she could have it. SN CASSINI TO BE PLENIPOTENTIARY: His Appointment Conditional Upon the Selection of Washington. PARIS, June _15.—The following statement was made here to-night from an authoritative diplomatic source, previous to the announcement that Washington had been chosen as the place of meeting of the plenipotenti- aries of Russia and Japan. “Russla has not yet designated her plenipotentiary, as his name depends on the place of meeting. If it be The Hague, Nelidoff will represent Russia. 1f Washington be chosen, Count Cas- sini probably will act, as Baron Rosen, his successor, will not arrive in New York before early in July.” SRRV PR Frenchman Remanded ay a Spy.

Browning, a prominent physician of Sioux City, who has been making im- portant experiments for years. “My theory,” says Dr. Browning, “is baged on the destruction of the bacteria of disease by the introduction of anti- toxin. 1 hold that anti-toxin, Instead of being obtained from the blood of animals, should come from the blood of | patients.” Dr. Browning avers that every known disease—even consumption and rheumatism-—can be treated by this new process. His position is that na- | ture's own remedy is applied, for each \$9rllm would be a specific for the dis- | ease for wihich it would be used. Every | disease, he says, originates in the blood lnud he believes he has found a panacea for bodily ailments. UNEARTHS SKELETON OF A GIANT MAMMAL | FOSSTON, Minn., June 15.—Spccimens | of a huge skeleton, recently unearthed | near this place by a farmer while dig- ging a well, have been sent to the State University for identification.

Sordeson in a letter says that the peculiar position of tbe bones beneath a black stratum of ear.i indi- cates that in preglacial times this | mammoth quadruped met its death | while trying to eross a peat bog. He declines to say just what the skeleton is, but has asked for a careful descrip- tion of the locality, with.a view to fur- ther investigation. ———— FUGITIVE COUNTERFEITER ? ARRESTED IN CALIFORNIA Man From Kentucky Jum, Bonds om Brother’s Hint to Avold Dis- sraciug His Family. United States Secret Service Agent George W. Hazen returned yesterday from Los Angeles, where, with Secret Service Agent John F. Cronin, he had succeeded in capturing Henry Burnett, alias E. Higgins, alias J. B. Leonard, who jumped his bail bonds of $2000 in McCracken County, Kentucky. Burnett was the leader of a gang of clever coun- terfeiters of United States notes. Two of the gang are now serving terms of imprisonment in the Kentucky peniten- tiary. After Burnett had been arrested in Birmingham, ' Ky., his brother, a preacher, went on his bail bond for $2000. Then he took the prisoner aside and said: « “l don’t care a cent for the money, but I don’t want you to disgrace the family by going to the penitentiary.” Burnett took the hint and fled to California. He made his living by trav- eling about the country selling what he pretended to be a patent shaft holder at 25 cents each. He used to make these devices in blacksmith shops along the road, wherever he could find a 'tm(l-l natured smith to loan him his forge, fire and tools for half an hour or so. | —_——— GEORGE W.
