IS RUSSIA TRYING
TO PROVOKE WAR?
Conliict With England Would Solve
Present Difficulties at Home
Situation the Same.
Srw Yokk, Mrtrcli '21. A special to
thu Tiini'8 from Washington says: An
interesting auggestlon, connecting tho
lutrst developments of tre Chineee qnea
tion with the riote in St. Peteraburg and
other Russian cities, has been umdo by
a public man of diplomtlc experience
who ia well qualified to discuss Knropean
atr.iire. His theory is that Kussia'B
bellicose attitude at Tien Tsin and her
apparent disposition to provoke Great
Britain are directly connected with the
conditions at home.
Kueeht, he deolires, is not at present
in a position to risk a war over Man
churia or North China. She is un
doubtedly in a better position than Great
Britain, but she has not completed the
Trans-Siberian railway, and is by no
means ready for a contest in tho north.
It is the general understanding of her
policy that she does not wish a war until
her preparations in the north are com
pleted. Tills applies at the present time
not so much btenise of Great Hrltain'a
capacity for resistance, but because of
possibleeomplicatione with other powers.
"A motive lor Russia's warlike at
titude must therefore be sought, and a
suggestion is found in the apparently
serious stale of things at St. Petersburg
and elsewhere. It is a well-known axiom
of statesmanship that when domestic
disturb incis are becoming daiigsroui a
foreign war will distract the attention of
the people and produce a reaction in
in favor of the government. It ia quite
evident that the present disturbances in
Russia are more serious than any since
the death of Alexander II. It ia be
lieved that the Russian rioters may have
forced the hand of the government and
compelled it to court war when it is un
roidy, solely for the sake of weakening a
domestic danuer.

Nkw Yokk, March 21. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The
China situation is well summed un In
I.indley Samborne'a cartoon In Punch '
representing a Russian warrior in an
Oriental boudoir, armed to tho teeth,
whilo John liull and Germanv are look
ing over the reed palings and cautioualy
asking tho man in possession what he is
doing. Tho moral applies equally to the
small uhiur Bt tho railroad hiding at Tien
Tain, and tho large matter in Manchuria,
for Russia is in complete possession and
baa nobody knows how tnnnv secret
treaties in her well-Blocked pocket, and
there can be no asauranco that thu allies
are prepared to turn out the intruder.
The railway siding dispute 1b so petty
that suspicion Is excited in diplomatic
circles tiiat the crisis has been brought
on artificially by Russia for the sake of
diverting attention from Manchuria, If
this theory be correct, tho Tien Tsin die
pnte will bo settled by u display of con
ciliatton at St. Petersburg and Kngland
and Germany will be allowed the satis
faction of claiming diplomatic euccesa in
duo time. Meanwhile Manchuria will
become irrevocably Russian, and nothing
wili be said about scuttling or loss of
prestige.
Doe It 1'uy to Ituy Cheap?
A cheap remedy for coughs and colds
is all right, but you want something
that will relieve and cure tho more se
vere and dangeioua results of throat nnd
lung troubles. What shall yon do? Go
to a warmer and more regular climate?
Yes, if possible; if not possible for you,
then in either case take the oni.v rem
edy that has been introduced in nil civil
ized countries with success in severe
throat and lung troubles, "Boschee's
German Syrup." It not only heals and
stimulates tiie tissues to destroy the
germ disease, but allays inflammation,
causes easy expectoration, gives a good
night's rest, and curea the patient. Try

Cmc.uio, March 21. A woman 'e mack
intosh, hat and gloves and a letter signed
"May Comstoek" and addressed to Sarah
L. Wright, 740 Park avenue, were found
on the lake front at Sixty-third street
The police learned from Sarah Wright
that Miss Comstoek boarded witii Mrs
Freeman, 240 North Union street. At
the lattera house it waB learned that Miss
Comstoek was a daughter of John Coin
stock, of Benton Harbor, Mich,, i
wealthy retired fruitgrower, formerly of
Florida and California, and that she
came here to study music. Tuesday
afternoon Miss Comstoek left her board
ing-bouse for the American Conservatory
of Music, where she appeared and took
her music lesson, but when she went
away from there at 4 o'clock, she left be
hind her umbrella and violin.
Park Policeman Richards reports that
he saw a woman enveloped in a black
mackintosh walk on the lake front late
that afternoon, but paid no particular
attention to her, aa many persons stroll
along thu beach daily at this point.
The police believe the girl has drown,ed
herself and the lake was dragged between
Sixtieth and Fifty-sixth streets, but no
body was recovered. A strong current
BCts out into tho lake at this point and
If the girl has committed suicide, her
body has probably been carried out into
deep water.
The father of the girl reached Chicago
last night. He is unwilling to accept
the suicide theory that the police have
formed from the finding of the outer
garments of the girl. Mr. Comstoek has
an idea that his daughter waa kidnaped
and he will not accept any other theory.
Mies Comstoek was taking a special
course on the violin. She was au ac
complished musician for her years, and
aspired to perfection in her art. Her
father encouraged her ambition. He
wanted her to become an artist. He was
impatient to have her advance rapidly
and expected to send her to Paris to
complete her musical education.
