PARIS, Jan. SI. Another delay haa oc
curred In framing and, forwarding the Rus
sian answer to the latest Japanese note
and this will result In further averting the
culmination of the crisis until the middle
of the latter part of this week.
The official advices received here from
Bt. Petersburg today, although somewhat
negative, gave definite details of the status
of the note and . the program it was In
tended to follow. Count Lamsdorff, the
Russian foreign minister, had expected that
the exchanges going on would have per
mitted the final drafting of the answer ao
that It could have been presented to the
cmr yesterday for his approval, but the
expectation was not realized, and, aa a
matter of fact, the answer has not yet
been finally drafted. It was therefore de
termined to defer Its submission to the
csar until next Tuesday or Wednesday.
Efforts are still being made to shape this
(nnswer so aa to prevent a rupture. This
i?ww delay Is Interpreted as slightly Im
proving tha Indication, aa It Indicates that
Russia Is making extreme efforts to bring
the answer within limits acceptable to
Japan, '
Owing to the fact that the Russian an
swer Is not completed It Is pointed out that
reports as to Its general tendency must be
taken with allowance, as delay Indicates
that some points which presented the most
serious difficulties may yet be conceded.
Within the past week authorities have been
kept fully advised of the general tendency
of Russia, but they have not known
whether or not theae tendencies would be
"Incorporated In the answer by which Rus
sia would Irrevocably abide.
It Is understood that the empress of Rus
sia has an affection of the ear which may
necessitate an operation. This fact la con
sidered aa having some bearing upon the
time when the answer will be submitted to
the csar for approval. In any - rent, offi
cials here are confident that definite re
suits will be known next Thursday.
Owing to the feeling that a final effort
toward reconciliation waa being made, the
tone of official sentiment on the matte''
was somewhat Improved today.

LONDON. Feb. 1. Baron Hayaahl, the
' Japanese minister . to Great Britain, In
formed the Associated Press last night that
his government did not know what Russia's
answer would be, and thr.t It was there
fore Impossible to say whether war was
probable or not. The fact that the Russian
reply had not yet been dispatched showed,
according to Baron Hayashl, that Russia's
Uoclilon had not yet been taken, as it waa
hardly probable If a decision waa reached
that the note had been received.
A semi-official denial has been Issued at
Bt. Petersburg to the reporte that the czar
presided at a council at which the Russian
reply was decided on, and It Is explained
. that no conference except that at which
Urand Duke Alexis presided has been held
In connection with Russo-Japanese affairs.
A dispatch received from Tien Tain says
Russia Is purchasing large quantities of
Kalplng coal for Immediate delivery at
Port Arthur, where the atocks of coal are
believed to be running low.
The correspondent of the Dally Mall at
Che Foo cables he haa learned that the
Japanese naval . reserves were mobilized
last week and that the first array reserve
was partly mobilised with great secrecy,

have been requisitioned, the correiipondent
continues, and twenty-eight transports and
thirty-eight warships are lying at Baaeho

Kumamtto division are lying at Takeshi kl

The destination of these latter vessels Is

LONDON, Jan. 81. The report of the
Lord Eshtsr commission, which was ap
pointed last November for tha purpose of
advising the government concerning tha
creation of a board for the administrative
business of the War office, has been is
sued. It confirms the change foreshadowed
by the Associated Press on November 2s,
namely, that the post of commander-ln
chief of the array will be abolished.
With the approval of the king, and act
ing upon the recommendations of the com
mission, the government has decided to
appoint an army council, framed upon
tha admiralty model, to abolish the office

With regard to the War office, the com-
mission suggests that the secretary of state!

Calmer counsels at length prevailed. Just

CHATEAU
A MAGNIFICENT GIFT
French Institute Gets Oae of Most
Valuable Properties to Bo
Foaad la France.
(Copyright, MM. by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, Jan. 31.-(New Tork World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) The French
Institute has come Into official possession
of Jacques Siegfried's magnificent gift, the
famous Chateau de Langeals. The ap
proval of the Council of State has set the
seal upon the transfer of one of the most
stately relics of France's past glories,
Langeals Is about fourteen miles from
Tours. It looks down upon the town of
the same name from the crest of a hill
between the Loire and the Roumer. Its
ue is cio o mat or tne oia fortress of
Langeals, now In ruins, which during the
tenth and thirteenth centuries bore so brll-
liant and warlike a record.
The chateau dates from the latter half
of the fifteenth century. , Many owners of
celsorlty have succeeded the original Lan
geals the widow of Balzac, D'Entralgues,
the . princess of Contl, daughter of the
Duo de Oulse, the Marquis D'Efflat, Baron
de Cinq Mars, the Due de Jniynes, Charles
Molsant, Baron 'LefevreJ and, lastly,
Jacques Siegfried. 'A
The chateau is regarded as the best ex
ample extant of the architecture of Its
period. Wherever It has been restored the
utmost care has been taken to preserve
the purity of design and decoration. The
hour book of Anne de Bretagne and old
tapestries have furnished the subjects for
much of the fresco work.
The chateau consists of three dlstinr-t
buildings, connected by towers. In one of
which Is the dungeon. On the side facing
the city the walls are crowned with battle
ments, permitting a passageway more than
a yard wide and 130 yards long.' Faclnar
the entrance to the chateau Is a building
dating from the renaissance, said to have
been the residence of Rabelais.
The salle des gardes on the first floor of
the chateau, with Its monumental fireplace
and frieze of the arms of Anne de Bretagne,
la one of the chateau's greatest attractions.

llclty. LONDON, Jan. 81. Despite the myBtery
with which officials shroud, the action of
the reported release of Mrs. Florence May-
brtcK, who Is serving a life sentence for
poisoning her husband, It can be definitely
said she has been removed from Aylesbury
prison. From the United States embassy
It waa most emphatically declared that
she had not been pardoned and that she
was still a prisoner.
Where she has been taken remains a
myBtery, but reports from Aylesbury In
dicate that she haa been removed to some
Institution' In Cornwall. The home office
and the governor of Aylesbury prison re
fuse to make any kind of statement. If
the ordinary course had been followed Mrs.
Maybrick would have been taken to Hollo
way If her Immediate release were con
templated, but she Is not there, and has
probably been removed to some other
prison of less rigorous discipline, where
she can recuperate prior to her release, or
possibly, she has been conveyed to one
of the government homes of detention or
to an asylum.
The details given In this morning's
Lloyd's weekly newspaper regarding the
visit of Mrs. Maybrtck's mother. Baroness
de Roques, to Aylesbury prison January
28 appear to be correct. She afterward de
scribed Mrs. Maybrick as very busy with
her work, in much, better spirits and look
Ing forward to her release.
The Dally Mall this morning says that
Mrs. Maybrick Is now In Liverpool, and
that the following conditions attach to her
release from prison:- That she will not
appear on the public stage or write a book
of her experiences and shall In no way
milMVAr tn Bttrapt f.iiKHn .H.Htlnn tt
herself.
IXJNDON, Feb. 1. The newspapers this
morning that announce Mrs. Maybrtck's
removal from Aylesbury prison express the
belief that she will be released within two
or three months.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Sl.-Regardlng the
case of Mrs. Maybrick. Interest in which
has been, revived by reports that she has
been released from prison In England,
Stale department officials say there has
been no tecent . communication between
them and the English government In tha
matter. The last Information the depart
ment had regarding the case, and this Is
now some months old, was that Mrs. May
brick probably would be released late In
the coming summer.
fJQ GOING BEHIND THE RECORD
Maa Mast Bo Legally Dead When
Stato Physlclaa Bays Ho
Expired.
(Copyright 1904, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS. Jan. SL (New Tork World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) French red
tape was greatly In evidence at the death
recently of Victor Advlelle, a noted au
thorlty on old manuscripts and rare books.
He was found dead In the antechamber of
his apartments on the morning fit Decern
ber 27, still clad in evening dress, having
been at. a ball and banquet the night be
fore. The physician summoned said he had
been dead twenty-four hours and the death
certificate was Issued as If the death had
occurred December 26, making the man
corpse at the very hour when scores of
people had saluted him. They recall that
now he did remarkable Justice to the sup
per for a dead man. The date of death Is
likely to cause legal complications In set
tllng the estate, but although he waa ac
tually living, the French law declares that
Advlelle waa legally dead December 28, be
cause a state physician so certified.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. SI. Further In
vestigation of the story published In the
United States under a Berlin date to the
effect that during recent maneuvers of Run
stan troops a bridge was blown up by
order of Grand Duke Serge, governor gen
eral of Moscow, resulting In the killing of
or wounding of fifty officers and 1,000 men.
I proves It to be absolutely false. The re-
port la evidently a revamp of an accident
which occurred during the maneuvers of
the summer of 19C2. Grand Duke Serge
was then defending Moscow against Oen-
eral Kuropatkln. Owing to a mistaken
I order, wnicn was not given oy tne grand
duke, a few men were killed at the blowing

CLUES IN THE SCHAEFER CASE
Detectives Kin . Harder W as Com
mitted by Yoaag Man la Best
Society.
BEDFORD, Ind., Jan. SI. Ten days have
gone by since the murder of Miss Sarah
Schaefer. the pretty teacher of Itln In
the high school here. Local officials, six
detectives and twenty newspaper men have
been constantly at work since the morn
ing following the murder when the body
wss discovered, but the murderer has not
been found.
Two persons have been arrested on sus
picion and released, with their Innocence
clearly established, and the detectives have
turned their attention almost exclusively
to the higher circles of Bedford, where two
persons are under suspicion.
So strong do the detectives think the
evidence is against one of these men that
they have made the remark openly that his
arrest would follow shortly.
On the other hand, the city authorities
Insist that he be not arrested. One-half
of Bedford thinks htm guilty, another half
declares him Innocent. If there Is any
tangible evidence against this young mnn
It has not been made public. The detectives
are declaring today that they have secured
evldonce of vital Importance during the
last twelve hours, which includes some
articles found In tha shed where the mur
der was committed. They positively refuse
to say what this Is. The officials all say
today there will be no arrest made to
morrow as far as they know now. Both
of the Bedford men under suspicion. It is
claimed by the detectives, have been re
pulsed by Miss Schaefer for advances made
by them.

were present In the Light Ouard armory
this afternoon at a mass meeting which
marked the close of the semi-annual meet
lng of the advisory board and executive
board of the American Federation of Cath
olic Societies. Mayor William C. Maybury
delivered an address of welcome.
Speaking of the alms of the federation
Bishop McFaul of Trenton, N. J., said that
It would answer the purpose of crystallizing
and disseminating the opinions of the
church on such questions as divorce and
education. He said:
Retain the present public school system.
but do not bsr Romsn Cflthollcs out of
their rights as citizens. The federation
haa taken an admirable stand on this que
lion, us pianorm is:
"That thero shall be no nubile moneve

school. But let trie state examine our
schools, and If on examination it Is found
that we are giving tne children an educa
tion which comes up to the requirements

At Its final session today the executive
board changed the date for the annual con
vention at Detroit from July 19 to August
J. The committee to have charge of the
convention consists of Anthony Matre of
Cincinnati, W. O. Smith of Philadelphia
and T. B. Mlnahan of New Tork.

FAR APART ON THE MINE SCALE
Operators aad Men Both Determlaed
to Seeore Concessions from
the Other.
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 31.-Mlne operators
and miners here attending the Joint Vage
conference spent the day resting after the
tension of the last week. Many living near
spent Sunday at their homes. The Joint
wage scale committee will meet tomorrow
morning at 8 o'clock to begin active dis
cussion of the demands ' of the operators
and miners, which are widely separated.
The outcome of the present conference Is
being watched with keen Interest through
out the country. The men involved say
the? have no Idea what the Issue will be.
It is understood here that the operators
are more In earnest about their demands
for a reduction than ever before and that
they will fight for It. There la a feeling also
that the miners are Arm In the demand for
their scale of a strictly run of mine basis,
a flat differential of 7 cents and a uniform
wage for outside employment. The battle
for the demands Is scarcely begun. The
strenuous fight Is to follow. Most of this
takes place In the meetings of the scale
committee, where the utmost secrecy Is
maintained.
More or leas apprehension Is being shown
by both sides. Should It happen that no
scale can be 'agreed upon It will mean a
great strike in the competitive field. The
coal companies representatives declare that
unless there la a reduction in wages they
cannot continue to operate at a profit.

Mrs. Shouse's sister. At the time of the
accident the train was two hours laje and
making up time. It had no orders to
stop at Miller and went by at full speed
being derailed on the outskirts of the
town. The engine and tender passed over
the defective rail In safety.
The front trucks of the mall car-Jumped
the track and crashed Into a freight ear
standing on a siding. The baggage car fol
lowing pushed the mall car at right angles
across the track and both forward cars
served to block the smoker. "The chair car
following tho smoker partially telescoped
the smoker and the latter was rendered
into kindling wood.
The Pullman remained on the track nd
aside from a severe shaking up, 'the pas
sengers In that car were uninjured. The
crew and passengers set to work quickly
to aid the unfortunates.

SEGREGATION IS A SUCCESS
1'alversK)' of Chicago Professors Say
Separating; the Rexes Iadaces
Better Work.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31. According to a re
port submitted by Dean George E. Vincent
to President Harper of the t'niverslty of
Chicago, the experiment of segregating the
sexes In tho Junior college work during the
past year has been a success. lean Vin
cent In his report says:
"I'nofllclally various Instructors who have
taught the clasres exclusively for men or
women have told me that .from their ex
perience they believe segregation Is going
to work out as an educational and social
success. One Interesting feature of the
situation Is that several of the Instructors
who were radically opposed to segregation
now say that their experience leads them
to favor It heartily.
The girls and boys do not have any
chance to look at one another and be dis
tracted In their class room work," said
Prof. Charles Chandler, who has taught
segregated classes. "I favored co-education
and voted against segregation. .But I must
say that as a result of the year's impres
slons I am now convinced that segregation
Is better. In my classes there haa been
better concentration and the students have
accomplished more than before segrega
tion."

This Information confirming rumors c-
bled from Pannma yesterday that Colombia
Intends organizing and sending an expeilf!
tlon against Panama comes as a surprise.
In view of the changed attitude of the
Colombians, who had apparently accepted
the Inevitable and depended on General
Raphael Reyea, their special envoy lo
Washington to save what he could fiom tha
wreck, says The Sun.
General Reyes was to have sailed yester
day for Barranqullla on the steamer Valen
cia,! but for the second time he deferred
his departure. General Pedro Nellsplilna
and De Lucas Cahallero, oolleugues of Gen
eral Reyea on the Colombian commission,
sailed on the Valencia.
The story continues on seemingly good
authority. It Is stated, that General Reyes
remains here because hla negotiations with
the State department at Washington have
not been completely broken off und that
he has a tentative promise from this gov
ernment that Colombia wlil be taken care
of with a pecuniary balm for its Injured
feelings.
No comments could be elicited from Gen
eral Reyes at the Hoffman house last night
on the threatening dispatch from Bogota.
