RUSSIAN MINISTER TO VISIT PARIS
J 1
Count I.amsdort Will Discuss Eastern
Situation with Krrnrk Foreign
Minister, Relating Beth to
Balkan and China,
TOKIO, Japan, Oct. 28. Baron de Rosen,
the Russian minister, and Foreign Min
ister Komura resumed the conferences to
day. Tha Japanese cabinet also held an
other session.
Premier Kataura In an Interview today,
aid hs deeply regretted the sensational
report circulated In Europe, which, he
added, were unfounded.
Referring to tha diplomatic situation,
the premier remarked:
Tho Japanese government pursues Its
negotiations in strict accordance with the
spirit of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, which
alms at the preservation of peace and the
status quo. Jt la only fair to presume
that Russia Is actuated by the same
peaceful spirit In which the dual alliance
In extended in the far east. 1, therefore,
fal! to see why the present negotiations
should not lead to mutually satisfactory
results. In any case nothing In the present
situation warrants any alarm.
Coreaa Oortrsmtst Protests.
YOKOHAMA, Oct. . It Is announced
that the result of the elder statesmen's
conference on Saturday last was to confirm
Japan's Intention to press Russia for a
definite conculalon of the negotiations.

Russia Coalers with Fraace.
PARIS, Oct. 26. The Foreign office haa
been advised that the Russian foreign tnln
Inter, Count LamsdorfT, has revised his
plans and that he now expects to arrive
in Parts tomorrow and remain here until
Saturday, conferring fully with Foreign
Minister Delcosse on questions relating to
the tost 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 Question and ' with the strained
Russo-Japanese situation. While the offi
cials will not discuss tho exact nature of
the conference, they say It will doubtless
over all tho phases of the Franco-Rus
sian relations.'
During the present strained relations
between Japan and Russia tho understand
ing has prevailed here that the Franco
Russian alliance had the same operation
In the far east aa In Europe, but tbe ex
tent of French sympathy In support of
Russia .would, depend on who was 4b
aggressor.
An American official conversant with the
French policy pointed out today that the
franco-Russian and British-Japanese al
liances operated strongly to prevent an
outbreak ot hostilities between Japan and
Russia. Express agreement contemplate
support when the ally I attacked. There-
fore, Russia and Japan defer taking ac
tion, not wishing, by being the aggressor,
to sacrifice the benefit of Its alliance. 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.

asking to have tha corporation be adjudged
bankrupt, and that the petition was filed

charges by a bond a large as the court
cared to require.
This, he said, would make the petitioners
liable financially If they did not prove their
allegations.

OLD BLOW FATAL AT LAST
Stroke on Head Five Years Ago
Causes Death of "Toay
i
Dean.
Anthony Denn, an ex-prlze fighter and for
years a well known character locally, died
last Saturday at his home. Thirty-list
and Davenport. Death wss Induced, ac
cording to the death certificate of the at
tending physician, by a "primary fracture
of the skull by the Omaha police."
This finding of the physician revives
the tory of how Dean received the frao
ture five year 04:0 In the Follt-y saloon
at Fourteenth and Dodge streets. In a
free-for-all fight which took place on a
Saturday morning at about 2 o'clock dur
ing the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival In 1898.
Tho 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
trivial matter lead to the exchange of
blows and Jimmy Lindsay, at that time
In the prize-fighting business, engaged In
battle royal. The others Joined in and
pop bottles wete 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 occupied 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. I told
him not to go In, but he Insisted and
struck at me. I warded oft 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
I understood then that an operation was
performed."
"Tony" Dean, as he was familiarly
known, never wholly recovered from the
effects of the fracture sustained In that
fight and hla death last Saturday Is said
to be the direct result of the fracture, with
paralysis as a contributing cause. .It la
understood that the relative of the de
ceased have several times endeavored to
bring suit to recover Carnages ar.d It la
learned that they are now trying to re
vive interest In their .contention.

turn of City Engineer Rosewater
front Ann Arbor.
The -absence front Omaha of City En
gineer Rosewator, owing to the serious Ill
ness of Ms son at Ann Arbor, Mich., may
delay the beginning of the appraisal of the

praisers had planned to convene yesterday
or today and make preliminary Investiga
tion ,as to the extent and condition of the
distributing system, but were Informed by

done until Mr. Rose water returned.
A letter from the latter received yes
terday tells of further Improvement In
Stanley Rosewater's condition, the physi
cian expecting that the temperature of the
