The Remarks of Dr. Lansing Severely
 Criticised.
 Salem, Mass, April 5-The attack of Dr. Lansing on the president in his ad- dress here last night has been the topic of conversation to-day It Is learned on very good authority that his utter ances were not received in toto with favor. One well known clergyman said to-day!
 q wish pr. Lansing had taken some other time and place to attack the pres- ident than our Methodist, It is strange we had no intimation of the charge in advance and sincerely hope Dr. Lan- sing has not been misinformed by mak- ing such a serious charge. It is too bad"
 Similar utterances have been heard from the clergy here in attendance. While Dr. Lansing in an evening Boston paper is quoted as expressing doubt that he used the word dr1nkard in re- ferring to the president, many of the clergy positively testify to the accura- cy of the published report and the local press also print the remarks to the same effect. It may be said that Dr. Lansing is not member of the conference, be- ing a Congre gationalist,

DlcaterIa's Victim Has But Slight Chance
 of Recovery.
 Alfonzo Calzillo, the victim of Luigi Dlcateria's knife, was reported last night as slowly sinking at the hospital, and it was stated that there was but a very slight chance of his pulling through. In anticipation of his death Assistant City Attorney Matthewman has issued a warrant charging Dicate- ria with murder in the first degree, and in the event of Calzillos death, his murderer will Immediately be rear rested on the new warrant.
 At present Dicateria Is charged with assault with intent to kill, and as this Is a bailable offense Judge Dow, in the city court yesterday morning fixed the bonds at $9,000. Calzillo was unable to secure bonds and was taken to jail handcuffed to Court Officer Waas and Patrolrnan John Laughlin. Tn the event of Calzlllo's death no bonds will be talk en for his release, as murder in the first degree Is not 8 bailable offense.
 Up to late hour last night the knife  with which the deed was committed had not been recovered, although dili- gent search was made for it yesterday by Sergeant Dennehy and the officers of the Grand avenue precinct,
 Coroner Mix yesterday took Calzillos ante-mortem statement at the hospital. According to his statement the diff culty arose over a game of tucco, an Italian game, played in Salvatore Pas caella's house on Wallace street. In order to avoid trouble Calzillo went out of the house and was followed by Dica- teria, who after renewing the quarrel on the street drew knife and stabbed him several times in the groin.
 Dicateria's version of the affair is that at the corner of Grand avenue and Wallace street Calzillo struck him with his fist and drew knife upon him, Dicateria wrenched tho weapon from Calzillo and in self defense used it.
