MAY YOHE IN LONDON
On the Track of Strong, but
Ready to Forgive Him,
DOES NOT KNOW HER OWN MIND
The Captain Anxiously AVntchlny
Development in the Case Em
peror "William Pardons an
. Army , Duelist.
LONDON, July 3L May Yohe reached
here . today from Plymouth, where she
landed this morning from the Fuerst Bis
marck from New York. She was regis
tered on the steamer's passenger lint as
21rs. Batchellor. To reporters she de
clared she had never authorized Putnam
Bradlee Strong to pawn anything of hers,
and she said she had never been paid any
of the money obtained on the pawned
jewels. When she was shown an Inter
view with Strong in which he denied that
he had pawned her diamonds, she said:
"That is all a batch of lies. For the
5400,000 worth of goods which Strong
pawned, his brother-in-law, A. It. Shat
tuck. put up $22,000, out of which. I paid
$5000 to Emanuel Friend, my attorney, and
JS110 to pawnbrokers. Strong's story that
he paid me back anything is another He.
"I do not know until I get my mail
whether I wlir go to France or not. I
know he is .therebut I do not want to
have anything toclo with. him. I have
suffered all this outrageous treatment to
Bave his mother and my own. I am anx
ious to go to Genoa, where I have tickets
for a tiara diamond heart and other things
he pawned. I have no means whatever.
I may land in Kamcchatka before I get
through."
When she was shown a statement of
Lord Hope's bankruptcy case, mentioning
that Hope's counsel disputed a note for
91S7 given to her. Miss Yohe said:
"That's right. The money is due me.
and I'll fight for it until I get It."
May Tone's proceedings, since her ar
rival, are an illustration of the woman's
indecision. The appearance of one of her
personal friends in Plymouth harbor suf
ficed for her to change her mind and de
tain the ship until she was the last passen
ger on the tender. Upon reaching Ply
mouth she decided to go to Southampton
and there take a boat for Cherbourg, the
destination of the steamer she had just
left. Then, as the train for Southampton
was starting, she again changed her mind
and decided to come to London. On her
way here from Plymouth Miss Tohe adopt
ed an entirely new attitude of mind from
that shown when she disembarked. Talk
ing to a representative of the Associated
Press on the train, she said:
"You know the old Nancy Sykes story;
the woman comes to court black and blue,
and then declares she will never prosecute
her persecutor. I would forgive Bradlee
tomorrow if he would say he was sorry."
When told that Strong had said he had
got the money from the sale of his li
brary, Miss Yohe laughed and remarked:
"Well, he brought all his library to my
house In an old steamer trunk; It must
have been valuable. He is the greatest
liar I ever knew. No wonder he made a
good officer; he does know how to maneu
ver." Miss Yohe Is staying at the Great West
ern Hotel, Paddlngton, tonight. She said
she hoped to see her old counsel, Sir
George Lewis, and to take the first train
from Paris to Genoa.
The Captain Is Anxious.
PLYMOUTH England, July 3L Since
Putnam Bradlee Strong left London he
has been In constant telegraphic com
munication with his friends there, and
has shown great anxiety to know defi
nitely whether any criminal proceedings
against him on the part of May Yohe or
others have been taken.
DUELIST PARDONED.
Emperor "William Gives Lieutenant
Hildebrand Ills Freedom.
BERLIN, July 3L Emperor William
has pardoned Lieutenant Hildebrand, un
der sentence of two years' imprisonment
in a fortress for killing Lieutenant Blas
kowltz in a duel, last November. The
affair attracted International attention,
because Blaskowltz was shot and killed
on the morning of the day set for his
wedding. The duel, which took place at
Intersburg, East Prussia, followed an
episode In which Lieutenant Blaskowltz,
while Intoxicated at his bachelor din
ner, struck . Lieutenant Hildebrand. A
regimental court-martial decided that
the duel was unavoidable. An investiga
tion developed the fact that Lieutenant
Blaskowltz awoke the day after his
bachelor dinner without any recollection
of the altercation, and went to visft his
fiancee, whence he was recalled to fight
the duel.
Lieutenant Hildebrand served only
seven months of his sentence. Military
men explain the pardon by saying that
Lieutenant Hildebrand acted simply as
the law of honor required; that he had
to fight and kill his opponent If he could.
There was considerable crltlclsnv of 'the
sentence of Imprisonment Imposed on
Lieutenant Hildebrand, on the ground
that It was Inadequate. Comment was
also caused by the fact that the trial
was held behind closed doors, and that
newspaper correspondents were forbid
den to say anything concerning the meet
ing which brought about the duel.
RELIEF FOR WEST INDIES.
Chamberlain Explains the Grant to
SuRnr Planters.
LONDON, July 3L In an explanatory
statement in the House of Commons to
day of the grant of 250,000 for the relief
of sugar planters In the British West In
dies, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain said
he took a hopeful view of the future of
the Islands. When he took office gravo
apprehension existed that the Islands
would be thrown on the hands of the gov
ernment and it was that state of affairs
that led to the appointment in IS95 of a
royal commission to Investigate the West
Indian sugar industry. As a result of the
Brussels convention, the abolition of sugar
bounties, which were ruining the West
Indies, the situation has much improved,
and is now brighter, especially as a di
rect line of fruit steamers Is developing
an important trade. It is promised also
that enormous asphalt deposits, which had
been found In Trinidad, would materially
help the Islands, and British Guiana,
which had been largely dependent on
sugar. Is now developing diamond and
gold .fields, which promise to have consld.
erable commercial value. However, the
period until the promised abolition of
bounties In 1903 must be bridged over and
250.000 is the smallest sdm that would
suffice. The government would see that
the relief fund Is so distributed lhat the
neediest should get the largest share.
SIGNIFICANCE OF ELECTION.
Recent Leeds Contest a Serious DIott
to the Government.
LONDON. July 31. Lord Rosebery pre
sided at a largely attended dinner of. the
Liberal League tonight, at which Herbert
Asqulth, Sir Edward Grey. Sir Henry H.
Fowler, Richard B. Ha'dane and other
prominent Liberals werepresent.
Lord Rosebery, in the course of a long
speecn, auatea upon tne recent . by-election
for member of the House of Com
mons to represent North Leeds, which re
sulted in the election of Roland Barren,
Liberal. Mr. Barren sat at Lord Rose
bery's right The speaker characterized
the North Leeds verdict as having great
er significance than any single election
since the late Mr. Gladstone was first re
turned from Midlothian, and as almost a
vital blow to the prestige of the govern
ment. The. party had suffered, said the
speaker, by Its unfortunate attitude in
regard to the Irish question, and until
imperialist Liberal principles prevailed
within it. there would be nedesslty for
the continued ' existence of, the Liberal
League, which. Lord Rosebery said, did
not threaten international disunion, but
formed a rallying point for those sharing
the principles of its promoters.

REPORTED OIL COMBINE.
Rumor Had Its Basis in a Deal at
Bakn.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 3L The facts
of the reported oil combination between
the Rockefeller. Rothschild and Nobel In
t6rests, which were published In the Dally
News, of London, July 30, are as fol
lows: "The Russian oil company and the Eng
lish oil companies at Baku have been at
tempting all Winter long to combine for
export in competition with the Rockefel
ler, Rothschild and Nobel Interests. The
projected combine demanded preferential
shipping rates from Baku and Batoum.
which the government refused. The ex
isting combine then offered to take in
the projected combination at the Initia
tion of the latter, but owing to the inabil
ity of the English companies at'Baku and
the Russian companies to agree among
themselves, the conferences to this end
filled months ago. The existing combine
divides the English market on a percent
age basis."
Sword of Honor for Kitchener.
LONDON, July 3L Amid tremendous

Lord Mayor of London, made the pres
entation, in the course of a South African
dinner, which was attended by many
notable persons. When the enthusiasm
had sufficiently subsided for Lord Kitch
ener to make himself heard, he modestly
returned thanks for the gift and ex
pressed the confident hope that In South
Africa, at any rate, the sword would not
again be drawn from Its scabbard. Lord
Kitchener eulogized Lord Mllner, British
High Commissioner In South Africa, and
made a striking appeal, based upon his
Intimate and personal friendship with and
knowledge of tbo South African admin-.
lstrator, that he be given the confidence
and sympathy of the British Nation.

MAYOR AMES WILL RESIGN
CLIMAX OP THH MIXXEArOLIS PO
LICE. SCANDAL.
He "Will Also Induce His Brother,
the Chief of Police of the City,
to Give Up Office.
MINNEAPOLIS. July 3L Mayor A. A.
Ames, now at Washington, Ind., has de
cided to resign his offiqe. The letter will
be read to the Common Council at Its next
meeting. The Mayor postponed his nomi
nal retirement to September 1 to save the
city the expense of a special election,
jvhlch would have to be held If the resig
nation took effect earlier. The Mayor has "
also agreed to secure the, resignation of
his brother. Colonel F. W. Ames, as Chief
of Police. He was broug"ht to these terms
by the visit to West Baden last night of
Police Captain Charles R. Hill, who will
be acting captain, and Jdhn Flchette. He
does not have the power, while out of he
city, to perform the functions of office,
but he wired Acting Mayor F. M. Powers
to secure the removal of the Chief, and
wired the Chief himself advising resigna
tion. Alderman Powers has agreed to
carry out the wishes of ..the Mayor.
This is the climax of the police irrup
tion scandal which has agitated the com
munity and occupied the grand jury and
the courts for two months. Mayor Ames
Is In falling health, and may not return to
Minneapolis at all, unless forced to do so
by the courts.
When the case of Chief of Police Ames
was called today, his attorneys moved to
quash the Indictment, on the ground that
the grand jury was prejudiced and biased.
The court denied the motion, whereupon
Chief Ames pleaded not guilty, and the
case was set for trial next Tuesday.

A Large Number on the Hill Slopes
Alohs the Yellow River.
New York Sun.
The fact has escaped attention until re
cently that there are many cave-dwellers
along a part of the Hoang Ho,N)r Yellow
River. It happens that they are found on
that part of the river where the bridge on
tbe railroad which Is to connect Pekln
with Hankow, on the Yantse; Is to be
built, nnd Mr. August Slosse, a Belgian
engineer, who lived among thenar for. six
months while making studies for the rail
road In that region, has been telling some
facts about the troglodytes.
Along the bank of the river the people
live In clay huts, but higher up, among
the hills, only a short distance from The
stream, they make for themselves per
manent habitations dug In the hillsides.
There are many villages of these caves,
not only the habitations, but also the
temples, the shops and the storehouses
for grain belpg nothing more than these
dark artificial caves. Many of the cavas
are nearly as spacious as the smaller New
York flats. They are about nine feet
high, 10 to 12 feet in width, and have a
depth of 50 to CO feet. They are dark and
gloomy abodes, but the people who live
In them"thlrfk they are much preferable
to the clay huts In which their neighbors
live on the river bank. No adornment of
the interior Is attempted, excepting In the
temples, whose walls are whitewashed
and covered with rude paintings In lively
colors, that under the bright light which
is constantly burning gives these sacred
rooms quite a gaudy appearance.
The only particular advantage the un
derground rooms seem to have Is that
they are cool In Summer arid- warm In
Winter The inhabitants are gentle and
even timid, and Mr. Slosse said that being

Effective Study In Raillery.
New York Times.
A truly charming explanation of the fall
of the Campanile has been discovered and
promulgated to a grateful worM by the
Boston Transcript, a paper to which we
long ago' learned to look for light on all
possible mysteries. It seems that "what
engineers call the theory of continued
strains" accounts for the destruction of
the srent tower, and, realizing that not
quite everybody out of Boston would un
derstand that, the Transcript klndly.adds:
"The character of the soil of Venice Is
such that when a heavy structure Is erect
ed at any place there becctnes a greater
pressure set up where the substratum Is
thinner than In other places, and this pres
sure In time becomes a cumulative force,
just as a slowly moving body gathers mo
mentum. Such accumulated pressure of a
tower 100 feet higher than Bunker Hill
Monument, gathered through hundreds, of
years, must obviously become Irresistible."
At first reading that, to an outsider, does
not seem particularly lucid, but give It at
tentive study, and as much as It deserves,
and gradually there emerges from the
shall we say mist? the. conception of ah
Immovable body gradually acquiring mo
mentum, and. as the years go on. at last
exerting vastly more pressure than It did
at first. The explanation is more than
charming It Is beautiful and magnificent
and so utterly novel! Engineering News,
an Irreverent paper of tendencies grovel
lngly materialistic, ventures In Its base
Jealousy of the Transcript's wisdom the
suggestion that some jocose student in the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
must have supplied the Transcript's the
ory, tor the purpose of seeing If there was
anything whatever, containing a few long
words, which a Boston paper would not
print, but we scorn to entertain such an
unworthy suspicion. We regard the mo
mentum theory as infinitely more Interest
ing than that which Involves consideration

Youths" Companion.
It Is a curious fact, of general remark
and observed not by physicians only, that
fainting Is less common than It used to
be. It Is rare that one sees a woman car
ried out of church or the theater, yet 40
years ago It was a matter of such com
mon occurrence as barely to excite re
mark. This is due in very great measure
to the outdoor life young women lead In
these days of tennis and golf and other
sports. The heart and the circulation are
strengthened by exercise in the open air.
and it takes a greater shock to disorder
the blood balance to - the body of the
modern woman than it did in that of her
grandmother.
The habit of fainting is not so much a
sign of weak heart as It Is of an excitable
circulation. It Is caused by anemia of
the brain, resulting from a dilation of the
blood vessels Of the body and consequent
flow Into them of the entire mass of
blood. This absence of blood from the
brain arrests the action of the heart and
produces loss of consciousness. It Is
probable that the heart does not stop
beating entirely, but acts so feebly that
no pulse can be felt.
Alarming as a fainting spell may be. It

Is not actually diseased, that a person
dies" in one. Women are more liable to
faint then men. but there are a few even
of the latter who have not at some time
during their lives experienced at least a
faint feeling, if not an actual loss of
consciousness.
In case of a fainting fit the first thing to
do is to lay the person flat on the back,
if possible with the head lower than the
feet and then loosen all the clothing.
Vigorous fanning .and sprinkling the face
with cold water will help to equalize the
circulation. Burning a feather under the
ncse Is sometimes of service. Smelling
salts may also be used, but ammonln
water Is unadvisable, for "the person may
