STATUS OF SCHLEY CASE.
Allegations OF IlIsgality Being InveSti-
gated by Attorney General.

Washington, Jan. 9-The Post to-
morrow will say: The case Of Rear
Admiral Schley is now being consid-
cred by the attorney general for the
purpose of discovering whether there
was any ilIegality in connection with
the court of inquiry 1t is understood
that at the recent conference between
the president and Rear Admiral Schley
the latter pointed out to him alleged
violations of law in regard to the court
and these matters have been deemed
worthy of examination.
The attorney general is not to pass
upon the merits of the case but will
deal solely with its legal phase. If he
shall find that the court was properly
constituted, that the precept was legal
Iy drawn, and that the rules of law
We're followed as to the evidence it Will
then be within the province of the pres
ident to consider the case upon its mer-
it's If the attorney general decides
that there were illegalities, as claimed
by Admiral Schley, the verdict of the
court would be vitiated. 1t is under
stood that Admiral Schley's future
course concerning a formal appeal in
writing to the president will depend
very largely upon the decision of the
attorney general.

n0WAGER EMpRESS' CONTROL.
Asserts Her Supremacy by an Audience
Given Yesterday.

Pekin, Jan. 9.--The dowager empress
of China asserted her complete suprem-
acy to-day by giving an audience in
the most sacred hall In the forbidden
city. The rules of the dynasty forbid
women to enter this hall, and the dow
ager empress has never before violated
it's sanctity.
The emperor will receive the foreign
diplomats in this hall Officials believe
the dowager empress to be paving the
way to be present upon this occasion
in order to prevent any communications
between the diplomats and the emperor
except under her censorship.
The dowager empress is preparing to
send letters to the ministers Of the for
eign powers here, expressing her desire
for the maintenance of friendly rela-
tions and her Willingness to receive ad-
vice in audience.
Progressive Chinese officials explain
thta the dowager empress disapproved
of "Boxerisn." that her wishes in this
matter We're overruled and her elicts
garbled.

TUNNEL WRECK INQUIRY
GRAND JURY TO HAZE CASE As
SOON As POSSIBLE.
Mntters--Wil Not Wait for Coroner
to Ascertain Facts but VIII Secure
Them for Him Hims lf-Iyttnesses Ex-
amined Yesterday.

New York, Jan. 9.--District Attorney
Jerome tonight, when asked as to the
possibility of the present grand jury
' considering the tunnel wreck, said:
Possibly. This is an important mat
ter. There is no need of the coroner's
spending two or three weeks looking
up the facts. We propose to get at
tiaem in advance and present them to
him. The object of the inquiry is to
find out if the accident was avoidable
or that is to find out if the railroad
used that skill and foresight that mod
ern railroad science demands If all
waa done that could be done, then
thera was no criminal neglect. If the
accident was avoidable we wish to find
who was responsible. If the road
adopted every method possible to pre-
vent disaster, then the engineer alone
is to blame. If some one was criminal
ly negligent. it is the duty Of this office
to present the facts to the grand jury.
If find that no one has been guilty Of
criminal negligence no amount OF pub
lie clamtr will swerve me from what I
consider my duty. From my observa-
tion the Eacts will be easy to get, and
there will be no controversy about
them, 1T will not be necessary to go
into irrelevant matters. The question
is who is responsible?
Railroad Commissioner Baker at the
conclusion of the days session said
that the testimony had shown that En-
gineer Wischo was a sober and indus
trious employee, though inexperienced
on the route he had.
Mayor Low when asked IL the city
authorit les would take any action said:
IT do not know yet | do not see that
the mayor can do anything at present,
but I shall look into the matter The
district att orney is already investigat-
ing The evident lesson Of the disaster
is that electricity should be substituted
for steam as the motive power in the
tunnel. How it can be done is yet to
be determined. / do not see how the
accident could have been avoided un
der present circumstances"
The district attorneys investigation
was adjourned at O'clock day. At
ter the adjournment, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Caravan and State Rail
road Commissioner Haker had a con-
ference over the evidence taken. Five
witnesses were examined during the
forenoon session. They were Division
Superintendent Franklin, Brakeman
Barnum, Engineer Doherty and Fire |
man Sweeney of the Norwalk train and |
Fireman Fyler OF the White Plains To-
connective. They all preserved secrecy !
al bout what had transpired behind the |
closed doors. 1t was announced that |
the inquest would be begun a week |
from to-day if the district attorney fin |
ished with the witnesses at that time

TRIPLE ALLIANCE IN DANGER

Declares That 1T is NO Longer an Un-
conditional Necessity to Germany-its G

many's Colonial Policy.

Berlin, Jan. 9.-The utterance of
Chancellor Won Buelow during yester-
days debate to the effect that the drei-
bund is no longer an unconditional ne
cessity to Germany though, Of course,
a valuable guarantee Of peace, is re-
ceived as being of the first political i'm
portance, as the dreibund has not yet
been renewed for another term. Wen
ma advices, however say that it is ex-
pected there that it will be renewed.
Italy's friendliness with France ex-
cites some concern among those politi-
clans who consider the triple alliance
to be the essential point to Germanys S
security.
The Vossische Zeitung regards Won
Buelow's speech as no less than de-
nunciation OF the dreibund, while less
outspoken newspapers see in it plain
statement to the world that the chan
cellor is tired of the incessant reitera-
ton that the Austro-Ialian treaty must
be renewed for Germany's safety, and
that Germany is strong enough to stand
alone should Austria or Italy try to in
sert fresh conditions in the dreibund.
Regarding the chancellor's statement
that the triple alliance had less signifi-
cance than formerly, Herr Richter said
the remark was addressed less perhaps
to the reichstag than to another coun-
try. Germany's world policy, he add
ed. increases the trans oceanic disturb
ances.
Herr Richter deprecated increasing
the expenditures, which, he said, forced
the government to resort to trick econ
omy. He urged a return to the old
Prussian tradition of thrift in the man
agement of the national finances.
Herr Richter is onsidered even by
the ministers. as Knowing as much
about economic questions as any states
man In Germany. He entertained the
reichstag several hours to-day with rid
icule Of Germany's colonial policy while
the simplest and most necessary home
needs We're neglected. Anything de-
manded in behalf of the colonies was
voted enthusiastically under the illu-
sion that such action increased the
greatness of the empire abroad while
ISloiih5 All fidhHudd uldudRGiHcHl dl
home were deferred. Herr Richter said
Of marks We're sunk in malarial
African swamps.
Among these fantastic schemes of
world politics Herr Richter included
Kiao Chou. He said that Germany's
landing there had been accomplished as
easily as in an operetta, and that since
that time 47000,000 marks had been
wasted there.

DRINKING At HARvARD UNION.
statement Issued From the Office of
President Eliot


Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 9.-From the
presidents office at Harvard university
statement has been issued, prompted
by reports recently sent out from here
concerning the use of alcoholic liquors
at the Harvard union. The statement
says that reports have given the i'm
preston that hereafter the use of IL
quor in the club rooms will be free and
unrestricted. AS a matter of fact, the
original ruling of the trustees still holds
good-that no liquor should be kept in
the building and that no liquor should
be drunk by the students or others in
the general dining or living rooms of
the club.
Continuing, the statement says: "The
question had recently been raised
whether clubs which had held occa-
sional meetings in private rooms in
Cambridge at which beer and ale were
served with other refreshments should
be allowed similar privileges in those
rooms
These rooms are entirely distinct
from the rest of the club, and persons
not members Of the club attending
meetings in them are not allowed ac-
cess to the other parts of the house.
The recent action OF the trustees was
merely permissive one, provided no
improper use should be made of such
liberty, and provided the use of liquor
was not associated thereby with the
general uses Of the union. The trus-
tees of the union Go not approve the
use of Intoxicating liquors by student
organizations So far as the union it.
