Xew York, July 25. Count Cassini,
formerly Russian ambassador at Wash
ington, expresses the opinion, according
to the Herald's Paris correspondent, that
all depends upon the Japanese and that
nf their demands at the coining peace
conference are reasonable peace is as
sured. Speaking of the Russian repre
sentative, M. Witte, Count Cassini said:
''I think this infinitely important task
could not have been intrusted to a bet
ter representative. He is a man of ex
traordinary capacity and of the finest
character. He knows the Far Eastern
question as few men know it .an J is a
patriot.
''Regarding iiefrmatiunal difficulties
Russia has now reached a critical ma
ment in her history, but America has
had such a moment; so has France.
These difficulties will disappear and Bus
sia will be stronger than ever. They
are merely passing difficulties, and it
would be unwise to attach too much im
portance to them. Referring to the
Chinese, Count Cassini said:
"I like the Chinese. It takes vears
and years of worry and trouble to bring
around to your way of thinkjng or to
induce them to enter into any under
taking but, once convinced, they are
loyal. A Chinaman's word is as good
as bis oath.
"t am speaking with all caution and
cireuiu-pection, but I am, nevertheless.
afraid that at no distant date Kiuland
and America wilKhave reason to regret
this war. They may have more to fear
from 'Japanese comietition than from
Russia."

Xew York City, July 25. Detective
at work on the case of William J. King.
who was found yesterday in his boat,
the 24-foot sloop Agjar, unconscious,
said last night they knew the man who
committed the assault. Kin? had a bul
let wound in his temple, and one in his
shoulder. He was found off Kay 22d st.,
Hath Reach. So much progress had the
detective made that they expected to
make an arrest before 2 o'clock his
morning.
Fred Ilerlitz, a watchman at the Ben
Machree Boa"t Club, told the detectives
last nielli that Kinjr, in company with
another man, had asked him to guard

litz refused, and, according to him, King
and his companions Isiarded the Agjar
It is this companion of King whom the
detectives are hunting. According to
fierlifz, a dingy was missing when the
wounded man was discovered yesterday
morning.
The wound in King's temple paralyzed
his jaw, and he was unable to muke any
statement, when he recovered his con
sciousness, but by means of signs the
detectives say they have found out the'
assailant's name. Since King's gold
watch and some money were found on
the victim when the victim was taken
to the hospital there was evidently no
attempt at robliery.
Dr. Lapp, of the 'Norwegian hospital,
did not express any hopes of the man's
recovery.
Coroner O'Flaherty went to the hospi
tal last night and obtained a statement
in a rather peculiar manner. King was
unable to ealk, but he could hear and

LIQUID VENEER
liquid Veneer is a carefully am)
'scientifically prepared article that
acts as a food for the varnish or
gloss. It is absorbed by the varnish
or surface to which it is applied, and
brings out all its old time elasticity
and newness besides adding addition
al gloss. It is therefore highly ben
eficial to the very finest surfaces.
Don't hesitate to use it on your
pianos, mahogany furniture,' or the
very finest pieces you may havej it
is the preparation that will remove
tarnish and that peculiar and very
undesirable bluish discoloration
which often appears on pianos and
other highly polished furniture.
