QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 3L—The British steamer Lake Megantic, Captain Taylor, from Liverpool Devember 25 and Queens- town December 26 for St. John, returned to Queenstown yesterday (Sunday) morn- ing after a terrible experience in the gale. She left Queenstown Wednesday carrying the Canadian mails, forty-five saloon and twenty-eight cabin passengers and about 500 steerage passengers, principally for- eigners, with many Jews among them. She had reached a point about forty miles est on Thursday night when she encoun- a merciless gale. Behaving splen the steering gear become damaged »adly, placing her in a dangerous position. The crew worked bravely and rigged the hand-gear, and the vessel was again brought under control. Unfortunately the hand-gear also be- came damaged. The gale lasted twenty s and an immense sea broke over the smashing the booby-hatch and ] between-decks, where the passengers were located. It alSo away the greater portion of the fittings and did considerable deck damage. Three lifeboats were smashed. Some of the crew were seriously injured and one seaman was killed on deck. When the storm moderated Captain Taylor decided to return to Queenstown, It was difficult work to steer the big ship, but she managed to anehor here without | assistance. hau Her officers and men were ex- everybody's surrrise, the the Lake Megantic to Liver proceeded there and mails, to be transferred to_the Lake Superior, which will leave the Mersey on Tuesday. The company ordered a tug to accom- gan)' her, but none was available here. ugs will'be sent from Liverpool to meet her. There will be considerable anxiety as to her safety in her present disabled | condition, especially as the weather has | again broken in a high northwest gale. It was impossible to interview any of the Lake Megantic's people, and the com- pany’s agents are reticent. but it is un- derstood that there were indescribable scenes among the passengers, who are said to have howled in despair, expacting | that the steamer would founder at any moment. s COLORADO VISITED | BY FIERCE BLIZZARD Railroad Traffic, Though Not Serious- ly Affected, Is Interrupted, Trains Being Late. | DENVER, Dec. 30.—A blizzard visited | Colorado last night and has continued with varied strength throughout the State { to-day.

Hoff, president of the Turnagain Arm Gold Min- ing Company of Phoenix, Arizona, was ar- rested here to-night and is held pending an investigation by the police into the death of Mrs. Nora Hammers, found dead in her room to-day bullet in her brain. Hoff, who has been acquainted with Mrs. Hammers since July, admits that he was in the room at the time of the shooting, which was doné with his re- volver, but he claims the woman com- mitted sulcide. Charles Gaussen, a friend of Hoff, and Mrs. Griswell, a sister of the dead woman, have also been arrested; These two maintain that the woman killed with a herself hecause she feared Hoff, who has ° a wife and daughter, intended to cease acquaintance with her. Hoff's revelver was found in one of the dead woman’s hands. Hoff claims that when Mrs, Hammers fired the fatal shot he picked up the weapon and ran for a doctor. On the way he met Gaussen and told him of the tragedy. Hoff says he gave the revolver to Gaussen, who in turn took it back to the room where the shooting occurred and placed it in the woman's hand. Hoff lived for eighteen years in Minne- apolis and was the station agent of the Great Northern in that city. CHIRN GRES T0 DEMANS Continued From First Pnge: in Peking, China is anxious that it shall be reduced to as small a number as the ers can be induced to designate. na regards the American force con- stituting the American legation guard as altogether too large. It numbers only 1800 men, but the Chinese diplomats here point out that if each nation maintains a guard of this strength Peking will be under the control of a force of 14.000- for- eign troops. There are now in China abeut 100,000 allied troops. Officials of the administration insist that it is absolutely necessary to main- tain in Peking the force now there, de- claring that the interests of the United States could not be protected with a smaller number. General Chaffee is 1n control of a section of Peking, and a few days ago sent out an expedition to a point south of the ci Adjutant General Cor- bin denied to-day most emphatically that this column was in any sense punitive. There are to be no executions nor inter- ference with Chinese officials and people. The duty of the column is to rescue some missionaries and return with them to Peking. NO NEWS FROM MR. CONGER. Washington Not Officially Informed of Emperor’s Action. WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—The report that the Chinese Plenipotentiary had been directed to sign the joint note is a source of satisfaction to officials here, as indi- cating a disposition on the part of the Chinese Government to heed the desire of the powers that negotiations shall be en- tered on at once and the present unsat- isfactory condition of affairs terminated. The Emperor, it was expected, would in- struct his agents to obtain the best terms possible. One of the principal objections said to have been le by the Chinese to the location of any great number of legation guards in Peking is that these guards would be & menace to the existing Chinese Government. As had been al- ready stated in these dispatches, the United States Government does not de- sire the absolute demolition of the Taku forts, but simply their dismantlement, so that ready access of a foreign force to the Chinese capital would not be pre- vented. The demand of the ers in the note, however, was for the destruction of the forts. The inquirfes said to have been made by the Chinese Government of the envoys, of which inquiries, however, no official intimation has been received from Mr, Conger, have been regarded by the offi this Government as reasonable, and because of this moreé delay than has urred in the court’s di- Nothing has come from Mr. Conger r the status of the note since a cablegram from him some s ago an- mm‘ndnt that it had been presented to Inese. thl’(r‘?‘%\l. the Chinese Minister, is some- .what puzzled as to just what construction to place on the Peking dispatch.

Dr. H. P. Mendes, president of the Uulon, occupied the chair and among these present were: N. Dembitz of Louisyille, Dr. 8. S. Cohen of Philadel- phia, Dr. A. Friedenwald of Baltimore, H. | K. Sarasch of New York, Rev. M. de Sola of Montreal, Rev. Dr. P. Klein, Joseph Blumenthal, Dr. Cyrus Adler, L. Napo- leon Levy, 1. Silverman, Max Deusch- mann and Jacob Hecht. The Union was organized two and a half years ago for the purnose of advanc- ing the interests of positive biblical. rab- |'binical and historical Judaism. Not be- | ing a synod the meeting had no authority | to_amend religlous questions, but as an assembly of representative mien and con- gregations it was the intention of the | meeting to take such steps as they could for the advancement of the creed. Rev. H. P. Mendes, president maaqe the opening address, in which he explained what the Union desired to do, and said in part: We differ from reform Jews in our insistsnce of a thorough knowledge of the teachings of our Holy Book, combined with loyalty to the prin- | ciples of obedience to established rulings, which shall not be amended except by the best attain- able wisdom of experts. And perhaps we differ from some upholders of one form of orthodoxy | in our conception of what constitutes orthodox | Judaism which seems to us to require a per- | manent council to regard the Interests of our religion by defining Jewish duty In response to new conditions, which so frequently arise. The evil of reform Judaism is that changes are made frequently by men who do not claim to be experts. The standard of learning among the older ministers was very high, but among | the younger ones who have received their He- brew education in this country only the stand- ard Is not so high as it should be. Even lay- men, as trustees of congregations, presume to introduce innovations, and the logical result of this is that as indivi s they carry the prin- eiple of liberty to do as they please Into their home and personal lives. The Jewish features of orthodaxy are graduaily. omitted and sooner or_later nothing Jewish remains. The necessity of a synod that should be a permanent body and composed of representa- tives from all parts of the world, so that Juda- ism in one country will be the same as Juda- ism in another country, becomes apparent when we read of the action taken by the eighteenth council of the Unfon of American Reformed | Hebrew Congr jons, held in Richmond In De- cember of last y At that session adopted resclutions declaring that ‘‘ v are not a_pation. America is our Zion. Agalust such & radical departure from the teachings of Jeramiah we must emphatically protest, for such gross misrepresentation Judaism and its ideals will mislead many He- brews, as well as many of our nelghbors of an | alien faith, by causing them to belleve that we no longer entertain the ideal of Jewish nation- ality. Dr. Mendes then dwelt on the fact that | many Jews are content with such divorces as they can obtain from the civil courts of the country, the custom of widows | marrying the brothers of their deceased | husbands and of the intermarriage of Jews and Gentiles, all of which he de- nounced as being inimica) to the lnigrests of Judaism. Dr. Mendes spoke of cofrespondence he had with Seth Low of the American Peac: Commission to The Flague concerning the proposed action of the peace conference in connection with thc Geneva Red Cross | convention. The letter to Seth Low and another to the President of the United States were in relation to the substitution of another emblem than the red cross for Jewish ghyslcla.nu. surgecns and order- lles, who had conscientious seruples against wearing what is an emblem asso- ciated with a religion whose doectrines | are antagonistic to their own. Seth Low replied that the commission would do what they could to carry the idea into effect and the President replied. | saying the matter had been brought (o the attention of the Secretary of State The following resolutions were adopted: That a committee be 'appointed to form unions for the purpose of Instructing the young in_Enclish. That on the eve of all Jewish fastivals and holidays an explanation of the significance of the same be sent to the Assoclated Press, to- gether with a request that they publish’ the same. That the executive committee take such steps as they may deem advisable to further Sabbath observauce. That a committee be appointed to communi- cate with the National Government at Wash- ington, asking them to provide chaplains in the United States Army and Navy to minister to religlous instruction” of the Hebrews in that | branch of the public service. A resolution providing for = vices for the instruction of tHe yor brought forth a storm of opnosition the resolutioh was finally referred to the executive committee for such action as they may deem proper after careful con- | sideration. The majority of those who | spoke on this resolution were of the opin | ion that any special service would tend | to lessen the respect which the childrea would have for the resular service an. that in nu way couid tney be so effective- 1y- taught to reverence the divine service than by participating in it in commeon with their elders.
