[By “Doc") The crucial test of the wireless will come with a choice specimen of “Fighting Bob’s” cuss words from midocean. The stealing of a torpedo boat by Russian officers at Vladivostok ap- pears a crime without motive. Cer- tainly no members of the Russian navy would think of venturing out to sea. In a letter to the Pioneer, Attor- ney General Young admits he is a candidate for the republican guber- natorial nomination and is desirous of harmonizing the “grand old party”. He has assumed no small task. Once more it is rumored that Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt is going to em- ulate Gladys and marry a Hungarian nobleman. Congressman Sabath had better get a move on with that little bill of his if he wants to save many of our poor millionairesses. It sounds like a successful “fete of all nations”; the plot to blow up an American fleet in a Brazilian port was said by a Frenchman to be the work of five Italians, one Canadian and two Germans. The only land- mark missing is the Japanese booth. The Boston Transcript records a Providence wedding “‘which unites two of the great manufacturing fam- ilies of Rhode Island, and which also unites two of the three great fortunes of the state.” The bride and groom are properly only incidents in this -great industrial merger. John Jocob Astor, son of William Waldorf, who in 1906 was appointed a probationary subaltern in the First Life Guards of Great Britain, has just been made a really, truly second lieutenant. If John keeps it up at this vate ko ought ssonm to bo high enough to “‘regret the report”. DROPS TO FOUR PER CENT Further Reduction in Bank of Eng- land Discount Rate. London, Jan. 24.—The rate of dis- count of the Bank of England has been rediced from 5 to 4 per cent. The reduction of the bank rate was a foregone conclusion owing to the rap- idly fmproving financial conditions prevailing everywhere, which caused the mariet for discount rates to fall to 3% per cent. Ths return of cash from the country considerably swelled the reserve, which further will be in- creased in the near future by the re- ceipt of gold from Egypt and Austra- lia, as well as bar gold now en route to London. Further influences tend- ing towards the reduced bank rate are the improved conditions prevail- ing on the Continent, forecasting early reductions in the bank rates of France and Germany and the likeli- hood of a return of gold from Amer- fea or the shipment of gold from America to the Argentine Republic, thus relieving the demand on London. Paris, Jan. 24.—The Bank of France has reduced its rate of discount from 314 to 8 per cent. PASSENGERS IN PANIC. Motorman Stricken While Car Is Run- ning Full Speed. St. Louls, Jan. 24.—As a well filled Bellefontaine car was crossing Market street at Fourteenth at full speed Motorman George W. Reeves was sud- denly stricken with heart disease and collapsed. The car ran on several blocks before the passengers became aware that the motorman was helpless and unable to control the speed. A panic ensued and passengers began Jumping from the vestibules and through the windows. A policeman sprang on hoard and forcing his way to the controller stopped the car just @s it had turned into congested Sixth street. Motorman Reeves was taken home in a cab. No passengers were hurt. Woman Fatally Wounds Neighbor. Chicago, Jan. 24—Mrs. Mary Ma- loney, thirty years of age, was shot and fatally wounded by Mrs. Grace Garswick. After shooting” Mrs. Ma- loney Mrs. Garswick Tan out of the house and was not captured until after she had been pursued for a mile. The two women quarreled over a charge of stealing 25 cents brought by Mrs. Garswick against the twelve- Year-old son of Mrs. Maloney. Concert Hall Singer Murdered. Chicago, Jan. 24.—Mrs. Catherine Cartwright, a concert hall dancer and singer, was found shot to death in her room. The police are searching for James McGee In connection with the murder. McGee had been attentive to the woman for some time. Only re- cently, it is said, he fired several shots &t another man whom he believed to be a rival for her affections. PLAN WIDE CAMPAIG Haytian Revolution Only Part of Formidable Conspiracy, SECRET SERVICE GETS BUSY Alleged to Have Secured Information That in Event of Success in Hayti Revolt Would Extend to Santo Do- mingo and Possibly Cuba. ‘Washington, Jan, 24.—Startling de- velopments in the plot to overthrow the goverument of President Nord in Hayti have followed the investiga- tions of the secret service agents in New York in connection with the ar- rest of Jose M. Glordani on the charge, of counterfeiting Haytian money. The officers say they have ascertained that the prisoner wns the agent of a formidable counspiracy whose opera- tions probably would have extended beyond the limits of Haytl into SBanto Domingo and even into Cuba had the revolution in Hayt! been a success and the agents in New York remained unmolested. It was found among other things, the secret service op- erativea declare, that certain persons in Hayti, mostly Frenchmen and Cor- sicans and one of them a brother of Glordani, were active agents of the alleged conspirators and were desig- nated in the papers found among Giordani's effects by numbers. By careful inquiry the secret service men were able to connect these numbers with the proper persons and the first result was to fix upon Charles Miot, the American consular agent at St. Mare, as one of the persons to whom a number had applied. Upon learning this fact the state department imme- diately cabled to American Minister Furniss at Port au Prince to dismiss this agent at once from the employ of the United States. This action was taken because the state department feels that it must keep itaelf abso- lutely free from any appearance of sympathy with rebellious movements in Latin-American republics. Chief Wilkle of the secret service has made a statement giving the facts and circumstances connected with the arrest of Giordani, which go to show that at the time of his arrest Giordani had in his possession counterfeit Hay- tian paper money to the face value of $800,000, 2,000 Remington rifies and 230,000 rounds of ammunition, all of which, it is said, was intended for the Haytian revolutionists. Senators Say President Exceeded His Authority. ‘Washington, Jan. 24.—The president sent to the senate and the house cop- ies of the tariff regulations negotiated some time ago between the United States and Germany, together with a propuscd amvandment to the vustvius administrative act putting the same in force as a statute. In the senate the message aroused lively discussion in executive session when it was taken up. The remarks were not addressed to the message so much as to the policy of considering it in executive session, as well as the policy of the president fn connectfon with the agreement. His course not only in negotiating that instrument, but in proclaiming it to the world, as he did 1last July, was sharply eriti- cised. It was declared that the agreement makes changes which are equivalent to legislation and it was pointed out that all legislation affecting the tarift must, under the Constitution. oviginate in the house of representatives. Stress was jaid on the fact that the president had not only negotiated the treaty, but that he had given it out as A complete verformance without refer- ring it to the senate for action. This tho senators seemed to consider espe- clally reprehensible and far beyond the authority of the chief magistrate. It was pointed out that the German kalser had not only referred the agree- ment to the reichstag for its action, but that he had even consulted both the local and. naticnal boards of trade. Honce the president was charged with being even miore autocratic than the head of the German empire. CLASH WITH THE POLIGE “Army of Unemployed” Insists on Parading at Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 24.—Several sharp collisions occurred between the police and the “army of .unemployed,” who attempted to parade through the streets to the city hall, where, they declared, they intended to demand work. Between 100 and 200 men formed in & column oa the lake front and started: to march. The column was more & succession of groups of four and five men than a column proper. At State and Madison streets the crowd was met by Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler, who ordered them to dis- peres. They refused to do so and Assistant Chief Schuettler at -once charged them with his force, breaking up the column and striking with clubs those men who attempted to hold their ground. Several men were knocked down, but not seriously in- jured. The police made no attempt at arrests, but by striking the men on the back compelled them to keep moving. A portion of the crowd. turned south in State street and headed toward Jackson boulevard. They managed to get away from the police and formed another column, which was overtaken at Clark street and Jackson boulevard ‘and again charged by the police. Sev- eral men were clubbed and the crowd ‘was scattered. Dr. Reitman, who led the second ‘de- tachment, was placed under arrest at Jackson boulevard and Clark street, after being somewhat roughly han- dled. His hat was smashed, his clothes were torn and his followers were sent flying in all directions. Immediately following the brushes ‘with the crowd Chief of Police Shippy |- called the reserves from the -nearby stations- down into the business sec- tion, but the trouble was over before they arrived. BY A VERY CLOSE VOTE. Motion to Censure Government De- feated in Japanese Diet. Tokio, Jan. 24—A motion to cen- sare the government was defeated™ in the lower house of the diet by 177 votes to 168. The debate on the mo- tion lasted for three hours and a half. The debate turned entirely on the budget, no mention being made of the emigration question or the govern- ment’s policy thereon. - The motion of censure was prepared and presented by the Progressive and Yuko parties. It declares a lack of confidence in the cabinet, based on the alleged faulty financial measures. When it became known that the mo- tion was to be debated the Constitu- tlonalists began efforts to hasten the arrival at Toklo of many of their. ad- herentz who had been delayed. It was hardly expected that the motion would be carried. DETECTIVES ON GUARD. Miss Vanderbilt's Wedding Gifts Are Worth $1,000,000.

New York, Jan. 2 .—Earthquake shocks which have caused the shut- ting down of the Glendon mines, owned by the Wharton Steel com- pany, at Hibernia, N. J.. are believed to indicate that the entire mountain range in which the mines are situ- ated, extending through Morris county from northwest to southeast, is un- dergoing a settling process. The shocks have caused the cracking of rock formations in the mine and caused the blocking -of -the tunnel leading' to the workings, forcing the stoppage of operations. The shocks, it ie said, have been felt for intervals for almost twenty years, but it is only recently that they have caused dam- age.
