MAYED BY BREECHES BuOY.
Ferry Boat Wrecked in Lake Michigan
 Crews Peri1ous Escape.

Ludington. Mich, Dec 22,--While en- tering Ludington harbor last midnight
 during a heavy southerly gale the Pere Marquette car ferry No. 16 struck a bar. disabling her machinery and breaking the main feed steam pipe. A
 great volume of steam escaped. Michael
 Taft, coal passer, whose home was In
 Chicago was scaled to death and two other coal passers, whose names are unknown, were also terribly scalded. They now lie in the marine hospital here lowering between life and death.
 Many others Who were in the hold of the ferry received bay burns from the steam and suffered great hardship dur ing the night.
 The accident happened at midnight and during the remainder of the night there was neither light nor heat. The night was bitterly cold. Great seas rolled across the deck and ice formed wherever the fater fell. The No. 16 arrived off the harbor from Milwaukee at midnight after a tempestuous voy- age.
 Tn spite of the heavy sea and strong wind from an unfavorable quarter Cap tain Charles Thompson decided to haz- ard an entrance to the harbor. He would have succeeded had not his boat at an unfavorable moment sunk low in the hollow of big wave and struck the bar with terrific force The shock com pletely disordered the machinery of the boat Left without power, the car fer " drifted against the north pier, where she pounded heavily. stoving several huge holes In her forward quarter Thereupon Captain Thompson ordered the sea cocks opened and the boat was scutted in sixteen feet of water.
 When day broke the lifesaving crew, by means of their cannon, threw line to the wrecked craft and began rescu- ing the crew with their brooches buoy apparatus, The entire crew of thirty three men and the body of Taft were taken off the wreck in this manner. One by one the men were hauled over the ice on the suspended cable. The operation occupied four hours and was witnessed with breathless interest by an immense crowd of people.
 It is believed that the No. t6 will prove a total loss Boat and cargo are valued at $200, ,0O0 and are fully insured. An attempt will be made to pump her ont tO-m0rrOM. -

TORCHES OF RATLROAD TICKETS
Gang Has Operated Successfully in Kan
 sas f'ity Lately.


 Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 22-A gang of forgers of railroad tickets has been op- during the last few weeks, according to H. c. Townsend, of St. Louis, general cifc, who has been investigat ting the fraud with the aid of other railroad men.
 Mir. Townsend says that the losses of the western railroads will amount to thousands of dollars. There have been three classes of forgeries. Some days ago it was discovered that a bogus per- forating stamp had been used to imi- tate the stamp that is used to mark tickets at the Union depot. The forg- CTS bought a stamp such as is used in banks for perforating checks, changed the die sfrom Paid" to TX. c. H. D." and have used it on many forged tick cts.
 The second class of forgeries includ- ed conductors train checks. Wholesale frauds have been committed by using forged live stock contracts which are exchanged for tickets.
 MT. Townsend says: "We have. evil dence to show that Kansas City ticket broker knows something about the for gerses."
 Mr. Townsend has telegraphed for c. c. Mcleod, of Chicago, chairman of the Western Manager Association to come to Kansas City to prosecute the ticket forgers.

Doubt ms to Gnvernor Cranes Accepting
 the Portfolio.

Springfield Mass, Dec, a2.-The doubt in regard to Governor Cranes attitude toward President Roosevelt's tender of the office of secretary of the treasury must be cleared up from Washington The governor himself has absolutely nothing to say. It is learned at Dalton that he has dispatched his decision to the president by special messenger, who ought to reach his destination on Monday. What the governor has said to the president is left wholly to infer ence, and no pointers can be obtained from him. The reporters have found him absolutely impervous to attack. Therefore everybody is at liberty to weigh the probabilities and guess about the decision reached.

STEINER FRONT TO RUSSIA
4 FOLD sTAND TAKEN BY FRINGE
 CHING.
He and His Colleague Urge Substantial
 churian Treaty Ask Withdrawal of Russian Troops and Oppose Restric-
 tions Regarding the Increasing of the
Chinese Force There.

Pekin, Dec. 22.--The first discussion of the Manchurian treaty, between Paul Lessar, the Russian minister here and the Chinese plenipotentiaries, Prince Ching and Wang Wen Shao, occurred here yesterday. Prince Ching and Wang Wen Shao displayed much less com plaisance with the Russian policy than had the late Lii Hung Chang. They urged the following substantial modifi- cations:
 First, the stipulation of an early date for the withdrawal of all Russian troops from Manchuria, except the rail- way guard the number of which should be limited.
 Second, they opposed the paragraph restraining China from increasing the number of her troops in Manchuria without consulting Russia, contending that China must be at liberty to main tain whatever force was necessary in Manchuria to preserve order there.
 Third, the requestion that an early date be fixed for returning the New Chwang- shan Hai-wan railway and the considerable reduction of the in- demnity claimed by the Russians for repairing and maintaining the railway.
 Fourth, the Chinese plenipotentiaries opposed giving Russia monopoly of future mining concessions in Man. churia.
 Prince Ching has received a long telegram from Chang Chi Tung, vice. roy of Hankow, exhorting him to main tain the sovereignty of China and Man chura.

ARGENTlNA'S WARLIKE ACT
THE RECALL OF HER MINISTER
 FROM CHILL.
Approved by Con. Mttro. President of the Boundary COmmissio ion-Pe PeOple Fl0ckfng to the Public Ktfe Ranges for Practtce-Foreign Legions Being Orgamizeta-Fine State of the Navy.

Buenos Ayres, Dec. P (via Galveston, Texas).--General Mitre, president of the boundary commission and former presl- dent of Argentina, will approve the res- olution of the Argentine government to withdraw Senor Portela, the Argentine minister to Chilli.
 The people are foclxing to the public rifle ranges. Each citizen is allowed to shoot thirty-fve cartridges from a Mauser rifle gratis. Foreign legions' of soldiers are being organized.
 The Buenos Ayres Herald expresses its approval of the recall of the Argen- tine minister to Chili. The paper does not believe this step necessarily means war.
 It says, however, that the Argentine government could not have followed a more dignified course of action. The Herald speaks glowingly of the power and present state of organization of the Argentine navy
 Senor Concha Subercaseaux, the Chil- ian minister here had conference yes terday evening with General Roca, president of Argentina. General Roca's demeanor to the Chilian minister was cold and he spoke with energy. The conference became little violent in character. General Roca severely crit icised the proceedings of the Chlian ad- ministra ton.
 The Argentine government is resolved to maintain it's rights until such time as Chili makes a full explanation of her attitude in the matter.
 It is calculated that S0,000 will an- swer the first call for soldiers. These men are ready to undertake any duty. There is, furthermore, a reserve of 30,- 900 young men to the foregoing 3O,O0O. The energetic stand of the government is enthusiastically supported by public opinion.
 Valparaiso, Dec. 22 (via Galveston, Texas) ).-Senor Portela, Argentine min- ister to Chilli, will leave here Wednesday for Buenos Ayres The pending negoti- ations between Argentina and Chili will probably be continued through Secre- tary of Legation Blancas or be trans 1 ferred to Buenos Ayres. The retire. l ment of Senor Portela has been accept ed by the public with great indiffer- ence. Perfect tranuillity continues here. |
 Valparaiso, Dec. PA proclamation was read to-day throughout Chili call ing out another contingent of the Ma tional Guard.
