RUSSIA'S OFFICIAL NOTICE
England Approves the Attitude of the
United States On Eastern
Situation.
London, May 13. It Is authoritative
y reported from Peking that the Rus
sian charge d'affaires, M. Flancon. hai
given reassurances regarding Manchu
ria. He has Issued an official notice
that all Manchuria la open to foreign
travel and adds that passports are no
longer necessary.
There n'crc fiflrt T!n!in (million nt
Newchwang, who were removed about
the date fixed for the evacuation, and
the same number returned to New
chwang. It appears that the Russian
force which returned to the Liao forti
merely used the forts ns temporary
resting places while Journeying south
ward to their station cm the peninsula.
The United States consul nt New
chwang has arrived in Peking to con
fer with Minister Conger.
Lord Crunborne, the undersecretary
for foreign affairs, by Ms statement In
the house of commons deprived the
anti-Russian jingoes of the last ex
cuse they had for continuing their ef
forts to stir up feeling In this country
and in the United States over Man
churia. It must be admitted that they
were more successful in Inflating the
press of the United Slates than that
of England. Lveii the must passion
ate denunciation of 'Russia's alleged
duplicity, selected with great cure from
certain New York papers and cabled
hero, failed in its object.
Viittrd Stateis' Attitude Approved.
Before Lord Cranbnrne made his
statement the Westminster Gazette, re
viewing the situation, said: "The state
ment that the Washington state de
partment will ilefer taking any action
with regard to Russia's course in Man
cburia until it is sure of the facts in
the case, is en. in. inly a prudent and
sensible resolve."
Karon HayaMii, the Japanese minis
ter In London, made light of the alarm
ist reports. He said: "I am still with
out information from my government
as to the occupation by Russia of New
chwang. If the news is true I should
certainly have been Informed immedi
ately of the fact. That Kussia denies
the occupation makes my unbelief of
the report stronger than ever, but Uus
sia would know better than to force
tnattcrs to a climax.
"Neither does Japan wish to see that
state of affairs brought about. The
Anglo-Japanese alliance would come In
to operation In such an event, but 1
hope Mich a contingency will be far
distant."

BULLET IN
HIS HEAD
Edward Shattuck of Burl
ington Killed Himself.
WAS IN POOR HEALTH
Kept a Restaurant On Bank Street
and Appeared at Supper
. . as Usual.
Burlington, May 13. Edward II. Shat
tuck, proprietor of the Hotel Shattuck, at
185 Bank street,' committed suicide last
evening by shooting himself through the
head. Mr. Shattuck ate supper at the us
ual time and the family noticed nothing
unusual in his actions. About 7 o'clock
he left the restaurant and it. is supposed
went at once to his -room and shot him
self. 'An hour later Mrs. Shattuck " went
to the room, which was dark, and in cross
ing it came upon his dead body. Health
Othcer Clark was summoned and found
that Mr. Shattuck had shot himself with a
revolver, which he held in his richt hand,
lie had placed the weapon in his mouth
and pointed it upwards.
Death was . undoubtedly instantaneous.
Two chambers of the revolver were empty
but there w ere no indications that he had
nsed the weapon more than once. The
shot was not heard by any one in the
building. Mr. Shattuck had not been in
good health for some time and the cause
of the suicide must be a matter of conjec
ture as he left no note or other word of
explanation. The body was taken to the
undertaking rooms of J. Warren Roberts
and there prepared for burial. No ar
rangements for the funeral have yet been
made.
SUMMERSKILL SHOT IN
HUNT FOR BURGLAR
St. Albans Han Attacks Neighbor Who
.Had Come to Rescue, and is
. Fired at by Latter.
St. Albans, May 12. As the outcome of
a 'burglar hunt at the residence of T. A.
Summerskill, superintendent of motive
power of the Central Vermont railway,
early today, Mr. Sntmnerskill was shot and
seriously wounded.
Early in the morning the residence of
the superintendent was visited by a burg
lar. The noise caused by his entry aroused
Mr. Summerskill, and the latter proceeded
to investigate. He found a man in the
house, but was unable to capture him, the
robber making his escape.
Mr. Summerskill, seeing that the man
was likely to get away, and not knowing
how many companions might be near,
called lustily for assistance. .His cries
were heard by Col. A. A. Hall, one of the
leading attorneys in Vermot, whose resi
dence is situated near that of Mr. Suni
merskill. Col. Hall called his son, Harry,
and the latter prepared to go to Mr. Sum
nierskill's assistance.
Young Hall armed himself with a re
volver and proceeded to the superintend
ent's house. In the darkness Hall mis
took Mr. Summerskill for the burglar, and
the superintendent, supposing that the
young man was the robber, attacked him
with a club. Young Hall was bruised,
and finding himself in danger of his life
drew his revolver from his pocket and
fired. The bullet, which was from a
heavy army revolver, iniiieted a serious
wound, although it is thought Mr. Suui
merskiU'8 chances of recovery arefair.
When the railroad man cried out after
beifig shot, he saw that an unfortunate
mistake had been made, but by the time
other neighbors had been called the bur
glar was nowhere to he found.
Sheriff Kelley was soon on the gronnd
and took personal charge of the hunt for
the house-breaker, who had caused all the
trouble, and all towns for miles around
were advised to look out for the suspect.
It was learned that a well dressed man,
wearing a pair of ladies rubbers had board
ed an early morning street car, ridden to
the bay and back again. He got off the
car at the Holy. Augels church on Lake
street and walked up town to Desehenes
shoe store, where he entered and bought a
pair of cheap shoes, No. 7's. He explain
ed to Desehenes that he had lost his shoes
in the lsjte. When this was learned the
hunt for the man doubled and he was
found and arrested in the depot at about
0.30 o'clock and taken up to the jail.
The prisoner told several contradictory
stories when arrested, but all circumstan
ces point to his being the man wanted for
breaking in. He gave his name as Albert
Rodier of Montreal and said he was on his
way to Burlington aud didn't know what
he was arrested for.

FACTS BROUGHT OUT
AT FIRE INQUEST
Twenty Witnesses Examined at Hear
ing On Cause of Tild&i
House Fire.
The tire inquest over the Tilden house
fire was continued before Grand Juror
Scott in City Attorney Gordon's oflicethis
morning and four witnesses were heard.
They were Michael Butler, whom a pre
vious witness bad declared he had seen In
the house five weeks ago, William Martin
who lives on the opposite side of the
street, Fireman Ben Gilley aud Thomas
Brown who had put the sewing machines
in the ell part of th.e house Saturday af
ternoon. Butler denied that he had been in the
house since the Ryang moved out. Martin
told of seeing two men run away from the
place about the time the alarm rang. Gil
ley testiiied that all the doors of the house
were locked when he got to the tire. Brown
said he didn't know whether he shut the
shed door or not when he tiniihed putting
in the sewing machines.
The officers of the Inquest then went to
the scene of the fire and inspected the
premises.
The testimony was concluded yesterday
afternoon at half past four o'clock, after
the fifteenth witness for the day had been
put on. The witnesses included firemen,
police officers, the keepers of the property
and J. A. Lucas, who rented the barn.
Attorney Frank J, Martin appeared for
Mrs. Tilden, the owner of the property.
Firemen Adolph Goneo, W. 6. Abbot,
Creamer Allen and Frank U. Morgan told
of the condition of the house when they
arrived at the scene of the fire. The fire
men all testiiied that the doors of the
house were ail securely locked when
they reached the fire. On this point there
is a good deal of misunderstanding, as
some of the other witnesses had said that
the doors of the house had been unlocked
for several weeks. The firemen testified
that they had to use force to get in.
It was brought out that the last
tenants, the Ryans, had been notified to
vacate the building by the keepers, the
Perry Real Estate Agency, and that the
barn was rented by J. A. Lucas of Mont
pelier who had 13 sewing machines stored
in the rear part of the house. It also de
veloped that Mr. Lucas had no authority
for putting the machines in. the house.
When Mr. Lucas was placed on the stand
he told about his movements that night.
He had put his team in the barn at 8 or 0
o'clock, that he had taken a lunch in a
lunch cart at 1 o'clock in the morning and
that he had taken a room in theCity Hotel
shortly afterwards.
Wilson Marshall who had kept his horse
in the barn said the doors of the house
had been unlocked and that he had heard
the building was a "common runway." Five
weeks ago he had seen five men inside the
house drinking from a bottle. He declar
ed'he hsd also seen small boys in the build
ing and that he had driven them out. He
had goae.lu to get water to water his
horse.

The new trial is given because of the re
fusal of the court to allow the defense to
show the value of the clapboards and the
value of the organ. This case was over
the alleged change in the wording on the
back of the note as to the size of clap
boards. The note was for $100 by Alonzo
A. Parsons and the agreement was written
on the reverse side that payment in iiO.OOO
clapboards would be accepted. It was al
leged the note originally stood ''four and
oue-half" and was changed to "five and
one-half' as the size of the clapboards.
