Incident of The Iroquois Theatre Catastrophe. Chicago, Feb. 12.--The long search of Frank R. Greenwald, for the body of his wife, who lost her life in the Iroquois fue, has been rewarded. He has found the body buried at Elm wood as that of another woman. Mr. Greenwald identified the body by the membrane connecting the first and second toes of the feet, amd by two rings that were still on the! hand. The body was burned beyond recogni tion of the features. A deliberate at tempt to get possession of the body to obtain the money found on it is suspected. Mrs. Greenwald's Lody was takente an undertaking establishment where it was numbered thirty-four. The num ber was a duplicate, and on-the other body numbered thirty-four was 8500, A man who said he came from Mon- treal, Canada, claimed body number thirty four, stating that 8500 would be found on it. He secured a permit to take away this body. He claimed it as the body of his '} aunt, a woman fifty years of age. When he brought the "permit to re- move the body he found that it al ready had been identiied as that of Mrs, Helen Miller, twenty-three "years of age. When he found he could not get the body of Mrs, Miller he took the other one, as his permit called for number thirty-four. This was the body of Mrs, Greenwald. He called for an un deftaker to care for the body and bury it, He explained his circum stances, and upon 'promise that wealthy relatives would come to Chi cago, he obtained not only credit for the expense of the interment, but also the loan of a considerable sum from the undertaker. After both the bodies had been buried the Montreal man continued to troub)é the Miller fam ilv, seeking the effects that were on the body whih. they had identified. Although Mrs. Greenwald worp seve ral articles of jewellry, the presence of the two rings leads the police to believe that the remaining pieces were taken by Fome one else, and not by the man who identified the body. No money was found on the body. The poli ¢ have a good description of the Montreal man and his arrest is expects od #oon. Mr. Greenwald's son al:o had been wrongly identified. He had been plac ed in a vault as Vernon Corti iu, This mistake was discovered by Mr. Green: wald ten days after the fire. SUICIDE OF A PRINCESS. Another Tragedy of the Unhappy Hapsburgs.

RICH OR POOR, Peer and Pauper, Have Found Their Billets, MOBILIZATION OF ARMY SIMPLY MARVEL- LOUS---NO DEMONSTRATION, Japan Has Gone Into War With Clenched Teeth--Alexief Re- .proached--War Decided Upon In December. London, Feb. 12.--The Times Tokio special says : No one who has watched the rapid development of the Japanese military mobilization during the past week, has been surprised at the naval news given out here to-day. Although the present time.is still inopportune to r to the ultimate obj t of the present mobilization, yet, hn promp titude with which the pan open: cd hostilities, and the scone of the na: val conflicts, are significant, If the molilization of the army were for home defence alone, it could have been more expeditious, In such town cen tres where divisional headquarters have been instituted, units have been mobilized almost without demonstra: tion. Rich and poor, peer and paw I alike, have found their billets. 'he railway stations perhaps show some sign of national patriotism, but a few flags, and occasional street org: tors and students have been the onl apparent safe valves of national emotion. But there exists a deep termination which "i= not demonstra: tive. The Japanese have entered the struggle with clenched teeth. The military developments will come as rapidly as the naval blows. The quiet reserve of all classes in the press ence of the present great news is most impressive. The Times Pekin correspondéfit ina despatch dated Wednesday says: Never sin T canis to China have I witness ed such excitement among all classes of Chinese and foreioners as 1 wit- neased in Pekin to-day. In the evening the Japanese distributed bulletins on the street 'corners, which were road eagerly by thousands of people. The news of the sinking of the Variag and Korietz was received with 'enthusiasm, We are still awaiting the official re port of the naval battle of Port Ar thur, particularly as the discrepancy ini the versions of that fight are irre concilable. The Times correspondent at Petersburg. says: The Russinn minis ter of marine, and particalarly the Grand Duke Mikhailoviteh, are much 'annoyed that the admiral commanding the Russian Pacific #quadron, should have allowed himself to be surprised by the Japanese. Admiral Alexieff comes in for a share of reproach, A Times Wellington (New Zealand) special saya: Personal letters from Japanese naval officers show that the details of the attack upon Port Ar third were planned . as earlv as De: cember. One officer wrote: "War is in. ovitable. We know that we can déstroy the Russian fleet. I am already de. tailed to proceed to Port Arthur on the outbreak of the war, and destrov the Russian battleships with m+ fish torpedoes."

Prince Ukhtomsky save the opinion of thousands upon thousands of Rus sians, i# that war With- Japan will be useless, without result, and of advantage to none but western Euro peans. The public generally, displays anxiety, but confidence reigns in mili tary circles, The Times Russian correspondent at St. Petersburg save: Russia has determined to call out 40,000 resery- iets, The situation in the Caucasus shows no sign of improvement, further disorders are reported. © Nine thousand soldiers, and 22,000 tons of military stores are waiting at Sebas. topol for transportation to the far caxt : The Times correspondent at Paris save: Probabilities of aporosching troubles in the near cast have not diminished, A rupture between Turkey and Bulgaria is not improbable. Tha situntion in the Balkan peninsula is bound to influence certain of the sreat powers in their attitude toward the far sast situation. Tn this connection, theyh in one fact of importance, nafoelv, that, no matter what the in. terests of Britain and France in the far east may be, in the near cast, their interésts do not clash. The Times in its leading editoral, oo morning, referring jo the fact that no official statenont has yet heen ree ceived from Tokio regarding the Port Arthur affair, says that TE from Tokio to London are now ta tween thirty 'and thirty-six yy in transit amd in view of this fact it warns the 'public against absolute con fidence in reports that promptly fol- low alleged happenings. "The Japanese plan of campaign," the Times continues, "is deve loping in an orderly and logical manner, wi makes it clear that she willinot have long to wait before joining issue on land as well as on ses. Everything tends to show that within a short tine the world will be able to judge by actual experiences whether the Jap anese military orgenization is worthy of their naval efficiency."
