took the man she annihilated for
her own husband.
Philip Krigh, known as' 'In

his home in Stilesville, Ind. He
had been ill for several months

during the hot weather. For sev
eral years Krigh was in the employ
of a circus where he was exhibited
as the largest man in the world
His weight often reached 775
, pounds. He was over six feet tall
but his bones were very small. It
required two tailors to take measur
ments for his clothes, as it was ini
possible for one man ' to reach a
round his body. It took several
yards of double width goods to
make him a suit.

In reality the adjnumncent over the
two days was to give each side an
opportunity to consult its govern
ment for the last time. . -
The cutlook is black. 'Many be
Hive it was never so black as to
night. The Japanpee are not talk
ing. Iodeed tonight they appear
to be more taciturn and more res
olute than ever. - .
The only possible line of further
Japanese concession is considered
to lie in the diminution of the
amount of the purchase money de
manded for the north half of Sak
halin. The decision rests therefore
as it baa from the first, with Rus
sia Unless the emperor agree? to
yield between now aod Saturday,
the end is likaly "o come on that
day. And the dispatches from Pet
erhoff, instead of raising the chan
ces, indicate even a firmer determ
ination to yield neither territory
nor indemnity, eugar-coated as the
latt?r may b .
snd for reimbursement of its war
expenses. ' '
"The inevitable inference from
these facts is that after the czar
learned from the Kaeier at their
interview off thecoaH of Finland
that William intended to take no
action toward France that would
require Russia to espouse the case
of ber ally, the czar instructed Mr.
Witte to yield not an inch of ter
ritory, and not a kopeck of indem
nity. "From a political point of view,
the reformers are glad that the au
tocracy appears bent on hasiening
its own destruction by continuing
the bloody farce in the far East.
