ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 23. Russian
and foreign diplomatic circles ascribe

the Russian Minister of Finance, and
Prince Ito. president of the Privy Coun
cil of Japan, although he exact mo

The subjects to be discussed were not

porr.peterrt to discuss only financial and
technical subjects, these covering the
status of the Manchurian railroads,
which have proved such a financial in

Rnsgi&n statesmen are seriously con
sidering the saie of the Russian rail
road Interests In that territory. The
Japanese proposal to purchase the por
tion of "the railroads remaining in Rus
sia's hands might be entertained by
Russia, owing to internal complications,
but. although it Is understood Japan is
ready to make offers, tbe Russian gov
ernment is disposed to look with favor
'. on a proposition for sale of the Man
churian Hces either to China, financed by
an international syndicate, or to such a
' syndicate direct.
It la authoritatively stated that over-
tares for the purchase of the lines were
I made during the Bummer by a group
' of financiers with which E. H. Harrl
man was connected. but these have
lapsed alnce Mr. Harriman'a death.

I xe years, after which It passes te China.
.' Only China's lack of finances prevented
: earlier negotiations for the transfer of
i tbe title before Its date of expiration.
' both Russia and China having agreed to
. this in principle.
Would Create Buffer State.
The placing of the North Manchuria
' Railroad under International financial
control would have far-reaching political
! consequences, as it would virtually
' create a oetier bullv iu dulouw

China is .strong enough to assert her-
self.
The meeting at Harbin war arranged

WOMAN TAKES LAUDANUM-
Overdose Attributed to Sleeplessness
or Domestic Troubles.
In an effort to Induce sleep. Mrs.
Floyd ViiVins. 411 Fourth street,
swallowed two spoonfuls of laudanum
shortly after 1 o'clock this morning.
After realizing the gravity of her act,
she hurried to a telephone and noti
fied a relative residing In the aiouni
-.Tabor district. The police were subse
quently notified and hurried Dr. J. H.
Gilbert to the woman. The physician
discovered Mrs. Wilkins in a comatose
condition. After administering power
ful emetics, the, physician after two
hours' work pronounced her out of
danger. .
Aside from sleeplessness, there Is
another motive for her swallowing the
deadly drug, according to the story told
to the police. Domestic difficulties,
which culminated in a quarrel between
herself and husband earlier in the even
ing, combined with her physical con
dition, are said to have caused her to
take an excessive quantity of the
poison. Her husband, who left home
immediately after their quarrel, could
not be located by the police at an
early hour this morning. He" Is ig
norant of his wife's act.
The Wllklns have one child, a baby
girl X years of age, who was found
sleeping peacefully beside her In
sensible mother.

ment and co-operation of his faithful
helpmate, who also was one of the
state's builders.
Rev. William Hiram Foulkes, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church, of
which Mrs. Ladd was a lifelong mem
ber, last night paid the following
tribute to the deceased:
"Anjf word that I might say concern
ing the Christian life and character of
the late Mrs. W., S. Ladd would fall
short of the mark. The beautiful sim-
I plicity of her faith, coupled with the
gracious unostentation ot ner wonts
will ever be. an inspiration to those
who knew her. Jntense loyalty to the
church and In particular its reat mis
sionary concerns, ' characterized her
life. Though well past the allotted age,
she was unusually' keen and forceful in
the grasp of affairs. We are all inex
pressibly shocked by the tidings of
her death, yet we feel that it Is only
the glorious sunset of a wonderful day.
Her labors surely follow with her."
"I was associated vith Mrs. Ladd In
missionary and church work ever since
I came to Portland In 18S6, and learned
to love and esteem her more than 1 dan
express." said Mrs. H.,C. Campbell, who
for several years was associated with
Ira. Ladd as corresponding secretary of
the North Pacific Board of Missions.
"As president of the North -Pacific Board,
her rulings, while firm, were always most
gracious, kind and reasonable. She- was
an example to us all in patience, charity
and punctuality. . Bhe was always the
first to give sympathetic response to
whatever call that came and her gen
erosity was proverbial. Hundreds of wo
men engaged in missionary work all over
the Pacific Northwest loved and revered
her: Her beautiful life has been one of
the greatest .Inspirations I have ever
known."
Associates Adored Her. .
"We loved Mrs. Ladd next to our own
mothers," said Mrs. C. R. Templeton,
who, for many years, was associated
with Mrs. Ladd in missionary work. "We
adored her. The news of . her death
came to me with almost the shock that
would attend the death of a member of
my own family. Mrs. Ladd always
showed a thoroughly Christian spirit and
a beautiful disposition. She always was
active In church work and was a liberal
contributor to missions."
