Berlin PAPERS Criticise.

Berlin, Dec 17.--Most of the Berlin
papers as well as those throughout the
country comment upon General Buffers
defeat in serious and dignified tone,
although with a considerable undercur-
rent of satisfaction at England's hui
initiation all around. 1t is admitted
that Great Britain is now fighting to
save her South African possessions. The
general belief is that Sir Redvers Butler
acted prematurely and under pressure
from the home government. The Off
cial papers take a rather gloomy view,
as if apprehensive of awkward compli-
cations.
The Kreuz Zeitung says: Great Brit
aims decadence is now apparent to the
whole world" The Vorwaerta hopes
the war will result in the establishment
of the United States Of Africa on re
publican basis, but it is also convinced
that such an outcome would not affect
Great Britain's position as great
power The Vossische Zeitung thinks
it would be hopeless for England to
match herself against a great power.
The military papers severely 'criticise
British tactics.

GENERAL W4RREN ARRITES.
Commander of the Fifth Division Ot
British Army Corp.

London, Dec. Is, 445 a. m.--Lieuten-
ant General Sir Charles Warren COM
manding the Fifth division of the First
Army corps, has arrived at Cape Town.
1t is understood that he will proceed to
Port Elizabeth. No further news has
been received regarding the battle at
the Tugela river. The latest accounts
regarding the battle at Magersfontein
show that the retirement of the British
troops was executed with the greatest
coolness and order under heavy Boer
artillery fire on Tuesday.
Mafeking was safe on December and
Colonel Baden-P Powell the British COM
mander there was still actively pushing
out his defenses AT that time the
Boers had offered to exchange Lady
Sarah Wilson, who was captured while
acting as a correspondent for the Lon
don Daily Mail. for General Ben. Viii
ioen. who was captured at Glands
1aagte, but the offer was declined
The other beleegured earrisons and
nositions are still holding out. 1t is said
that if the Victoria Cross were to be
Granted for every act of conspicuous
pallantry on the part of the British
troops it would be necessary to distrib-
,,te the decoration by hundreds.

THE BoST0N BANK FIXTURE.
Force of Clerks Busy STRENGTHENING
Ont the Accounts.

Boston, Dec. 17.-All day to-day the
rooms of the Broadway National bank
were scenes Of activity as Receiver
Wing and a force of clerks continued
their work Of Strengthening out the af-
fairs of the bank the suspension of
which, following the failure Of the J. P.
Squire e. Co. corporation the night be-
fore had so startled financial Boston.
There have been no developments to-
day and the clearing house committee
did not meet last night, as expected. 1t
Is still the subject Of Much discussion
that the clearing hfousA did not come
to the relief OF the Broadway banw as
it did for the Globe bank earlier in the
week, and this feature Of the failure is
likely to continue uppernlost In mind
until the situation is made more clear.
Since Mr.. Wing assumed control OF the
bank under orders OF Comptroller
Dawes the statements Of President Ros-
well c. Downer and Cashier Curtiss as
tol the amount of funds on hand and
the quick assets have been very we'll
taken, and this means a reassuring con-
dition in the market at the opening OF
business tomorrow.
The work accomplished to-day was iii
the way of tabulatinE assets, and while
much remains to flll cut the official pa
pers, it is anticipated that detailed
report to the comptroller will go for
ward late tomorrow. Mr.. Wing has no
further information to give out. He
will continue to accept payments on
notes becoming due, but will not pay
out any bank funds. Everything ap-
parently depends upon what action
Comptroller Dawes takes on receipt OF
Mr.. Wings report. The bank Will re-
main tied up until permanent receiv-
ar is appointed. Something definite Is
looked for on Tuesday, and no doubt
depositors will be anxious for quick ac- !
tion on account of holiday business,
which to them is of great Importance. +
Among financial men it would seem that
the opinion of President Downer that k
The bank would meet all it's obligations X
IS taken in favorable light. and If 80 4
n fact it will greatly relieve the tension
in money matters

Berlin. Dec. 17.-General Buller's de-
feat in the engagemnt at the Tugela
river has not affected the German
money and stock markets seriously.
Nevertheless the money stringency ies
growing daily, and private discount has
equalled the official rate since Thurs
day. Financial circles are now expect
ing an advance BY the Reichsbank any
day. Apparently the Reichsbank Isl
only awaiting the action Of the Bank
of England. According to information
from within the bank, an advance in
the rate may become necessary at any
moment, and the money situation will
grow tighter. In consequence OF Cen
eral Buffers repulse, London exchange
is already above the gold point. Only
the tacit agreement of the great pri-
vate banks not to embarrass~ the
Reichsbank prevents large gold exports.
The gold movement from New York to
London however, is expected to give
temporary relief.

Condition of the Passengers Improved =
WIN Cost Consolidated $15O,OOO.

Boston, Dec 1.-THE condition of all
the passengers injured in the collision
of trains on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad at South Boston
last evening, is reported greatly i'm
proved to-day with the exception of
Mrs A. w. Henderson,, who was taken
to her home in Hyde Park, suffering
from internal injuries. She has grown
steadily worse during the day and to-
night Is said to be in critical condi-
ton, with the chances against her re-
covery James Murray and Daniel Kel-
ly, the only passengers who remain at
the hospital, each having compound
fractures of the leg and other injuries,
have rested comfortably to-day and the
hospital surgeons report them on the
road to speedy recovery.
While the list of those who were in
any way injured may possibly reach
twenty-five or thirty in a majority of
cases the persons are suffering from
only slight bruises or cuts from the
shaking up which all passengers on the
trains received The financial loss to
the company from the accident will be
something like S150,000. Engineer Rob
bins, who was in charge OF the Mans
field train and who disregarded the
block signals which protected the train
ahead of him, was suspended to-day by
the officials Of the road pending an in
vestigation Of the accident. One of the
officers said to-day: 1.-THE suspension
of Engineer Robbins does not imply
that he has been tried and condemned
already, but is merely following out the
rules of the road in such cases An in
vestigation will be held shortly" En-
gineer Robbins is alleged to have stated
to General Superintendent Clark that
he passed the danger signal set to pro-
tect Harvey's train and did not see the
fiagman until 1t was too late to prevent
a collision. Robbins is young man
and has had a good reputation in the
past.

BE7TER THAN MARcoNI's.
A More Sensitive Receiver for Wireless
Tel grnphy Discovered.


Pittsburg, Dec. 17.-Bold researches
by Professor Reginald A. Fessenden
and his assistant, Professor Kintner In
the electrical laboratory Of the Western
University of Pennsylvania have result
ed in the production of receiver for
wireless telegraphy that is two thou
sand times more sensitive than the So
called 'Coherer' of the Marconi sys-
tenn. In speaking of the discovery to-
day Professor Fessenden said: Al
though we have improved the receiver
sol that 1t is two thousand times as sem
sitive as the original one. we realize
that we have not yet begun to see the
limit Marconi in his brilliant expert
,ments has demonstrated that messages
can be sent over ninety miles, AS our
receiver is several hundred times more
sensitive it Is clear that the messages
can be sent by our method very much
further, though just what the limit is I
would not like to say. 1t at least should
be possible to send messages across the
Atlantic with poles less than two hum
dred feet high. The ultimate distance
must be checked by actual experiment
before it becomes scientific fact In the
strictest sense"

TARIFF TROUBLES WITH GERMANY



Berlin, Dec. 17.-At a meeting Of the
Cologne Manufacturers association yes
terday Manager Steler reported upon
the recent Philadelphia congress- great
ly belittling it's Importance. He ad-
vised against the appointment of an in
formations committee to investigate
the tariff disagreements between Ger
many and the United States and said.
Such tender consideration for the
Americans is misplaced. Only self
assertive attitude on the. part of the
German nation can impress American
public opinion. We must make the
Americans realize that we can dispense
with them, if necessary; and we must
demand that Germany be treated upon
footing of decent, reasonable reciproc-
ity." The Hamburg Baersenhalle ad-
vises conciliatory measures, advocating
reduction in the duty on maize and a
less severe inspection of American COM
modtes 1t claims, however that the
American treatment of Germany in tar
iff administration is unfair.

VOTE ON CURRENCY BILL TODAY
Rrsu1t Foregone Conclusion-Inser crest
In Demnnrn n tic Dish ffecti0n.


Washington, Dec. 1.-THE two events
Of importance in the house this week
before the adjournment for the holiday
recess on Wednesday will be the vote
on the currency bill tomorrow immedi-T
ately after the reading Of the journal
and the announcement Of the commit
tees on Tuesday. Under the terms OF
the special order with reference to the
currency bill neither a motion to rsconi-
nit nor a substitute proposition Is in
order, and the vote will be taken direct
ly upon the passage of the bill. The
result is a foregone conclusion, az 1t
will command every republican vote.
The interest in the vote. therefore, lies
only in the record Of democratic dlsaf-
fection it will show. According to a
careful canvass made by Mr.. Overstrest
of Indiana, who has beSr i'll charge Of
the measure. it will receive eight DEM
ocratic votes at least, and he believes
seven democrats will dodge. He figures
that the bill will have g majority Of S5.
SO Tar as can be ascertained no other
business will be transacted BY the house
this week. r

Lawyer-Suffered MelanchOlin After
HiD Victim Detective Set to Watch
Him.

Cincinnati, Dec. 17.-There was q SEN
sational murder to-day at the residence
OF 20. Alexander Ferguson on Dayton
street. Dudley Ferguson, son Of II. A.
Ferguson has been afflicted with mel
ancholla on account Of failing to pass
an examination recently for admission
to the bar. The family employed Gus
Meehan, a we'll known detective, to
shadow young Ferguson, more for the
protection of the young man than any
thing else. When the detective appear
ed to-day Young Ferguson shot him and
Meehan soon died. Dudley Ferguson
was arrested. e. A. Ferguson Is one
of the most prominent attorneys here
He is the author Of the act that built
the Cincinnati Southern railroad, of

three years old and associated with his
fathers firm. The family is one of the
most prominent in the city and the
place of the tragedy is among the fin
est residences. Ferguson was thought
to have an ungovernable temper and at
times he alarmed his family. His
father arranged with him to board
across the street from the Ferguson
residence and there he was under sur
veillance, while Augustus Meehan
guarded the Ferguson homestead Nee
han would give the family due notice
and be on hand whenever Dudley cross
ed the street for his home. To-day
Dudley slipped out of the rear door of
his apartments and by roundabout
course reached his fathers house, but
even then Meehan was after him and
followed Dudley in the house. Then
young Ferguson shot Meehan four
times, and was captured before doing
any more shooting.
