Eddie Graney win Referee,

Chicago. Dec. 26.-Eddie Graney was to- night selected to referee the fight next Tuesday night between Young Corbe and Eddie Hanlon. Hanloh announced positively today that he would not fight if Graney was selected as theF refel ee. Corbett's choice was Grapey or Harry Corbett, but the latter declined to serve. A meeting was held tonight. and Young Corbett fatly announced that it was either Graney or no fight. and after some argument, Hanlon's packers consented to allow Graney to serve. Hanlon's objec- ton to the referee was alleged favoritism shown the champion in the last bout be- tween the two, which was declared a draw. The Californian declares that he should have been given the decision over the champion. Both pugii.sts are contin- weight.

AMERICA IS ACTIVE.
China and Korea Asked for Trade
 Concessions.

NfBAAG000AQAA8s
 Washington, Dec. 26.--The situation in the Far East has caused the officials of the State Department to renew their ef- forts to secure for the United States from China and Korea certain trade advantages as embodied in the Chinese commercial treaty, and l nthe pressing of Minister Allen's demands upon the Korean Gov ernment before the crisis becomes more acute
 It is realized that should hostiiities break out between Russia and Japan the resulting peace treaty probably would leave the United States and other neu- tral nations entirely outside of the pale of advantage in Korea and Manchuria. no matter which way the side of victory turned. Therefore, the State Department Is bringing pressure to bear upon the Chinese court to insure the speedy rati- fcation of the trade treaty, and 1t is to be hoped that final negotiations of the treaty may be exchanged in Washington within three months at the outside. This will result in the opening to the United States trade of the ports of Autung and Moukden in Manchuria. Across the river from Autung in Korean territory lies Wiju, and the State Department has prompted Mir. Allen at Seoul to renew his pressure upon the Korean Government to secure the opening of that port to trade.

THE RIGHT OF VETO.
Holy See Considering Methods to
 Nullify It.

Holy See Considering Methods to
 Nullify It.
 Rome, Dec. 36-The osservatore Ro. mano. the Vatican organ, contains an. other, and 1t is considered more important answer to that of the speech of Count Goluchowsixi. the Austrian Foreign Min ister. delivered December l6, which re- terred to the veto of Austria against Car dinal Rampolla at the late conclave.
 The paper says that the Holy See is studying measures to prevent the practi- cal or theoretic z use of the right to veto In conclayes. 1e.e substance of the article (which is attrif uted to Pope Pius) is that the changed political and religious condi- tons today render unbearable the veto which in the past the church prudenfiy tolerated. When the civil and ecclesias- tfcal powers were strictly united, the arr ticle says, the sovereigns of Austria, France and Spain were the right arm of the Catholic Church, making the church pay dearly for their protection, but rem dering altogether significant services. Therefore. 1t continues, they were rela- lively justified in having a persona grata as Pope.
 But today when governments make open profession of atheism. prosecute the church with iniquitous laws and proclaim the complete separation of civil and eccte- siastical powers, co pretend to influence a papal election is arbitrary and an injus- tice repugnant to modern conscience be- sides. because the constitutional govern ments veto is no longer in the hands of soverigns. but in those of men often without faftli

HIGH WINDS IN METROPOLIS

New York, Dec. 26.-As driving snow storm accompanied by furious squalls that at times rose to almost hurricane force. struck the city early today. Lowering black clouds pressing down on bank of sea fog and the dense character of the snowfall. combined to produce for nearly half an hour so deep a darkness that lights were turned on in all the down town streets and along the river front. During this period many ferry boats and other craft lost their bearings completely and the harbor resounded with the whistles of vessels cautiously groping their way through the gloom.
 One Brooklyn boat, heading for the Manhattan side. found herself off the Battery, several blocks away from her slip. Ocean steamers. bound in and out, were compelled to step and lie to until the dsrkness lifted. The ferryboat John G. Carlisle. carrying immigrants from Ellis Island. crashed into the steamboat Tauras off the Battery, but both vessels escaped with slight damage.
 High Gales Succeed Darkness.
 The darkness lifted almost as quickly as it settled down and the snow was succeeded by clearing skies. high gales and a rapidly falling temperature, the mercury going down IS degrees, from 34 10 lS, Wltnlu Lur0e HouTh. So uofSG was the gale during the afternoon that many pedestrians were thrown down and in some instances were seriously injured.
 Around Cape Flatiron." at Broadway and Twenty-third Street. the wind ragged in gusts of almost cyclonic fury. Here one man was dangerou4ly hurt by being struck with fragment of a large plate glass window, blown out of an adjacent building.
 Towards evening. the wind. which had at times attained velocity of sixty miles an hour. died down. the mercury con- tinuing to drop until at 10 o'clock it touched seven degrees above zero. with indications of still lower figures dliring the night ID all about dazen pefHens were Reported byffls police tn haVn stN ln- 5ured by faits of iiyfne pieces 0f debris during the day.

FLAMES SPREAD RAPIDLY
Many Business Houses at
 Pineapple Destroyed.
charred Body of Arthur Stewart Found in the Ruins Shows Evidence That He Had
 Been Lynched.

Pineapple, Dec. 2s.-(Special. )-At 5 o'clock this morning, fire originating in the town jail. destroyed that structure. eight stores, the postoffice. two ware houses and other property In the business portion of the town. The financial loss will approximate &s5.OOO. with insurance less than one-third that amount.
 Evidence has developed that the con- fiagration was started by a mob. The charred body of Arthur Stewart. negro. who vase in the jail charged with at- tempted murder. was discovered in the ruins.
 The negro had been killed by the mob and the jail set on fire to destroy evidence of the crime. The flames spread rapidly, owing to high wind blowing at the time, and it is believed that the mob's members fled. seeing that their action might rvsult in the destruction of the business section of the place.
 A few citizens were aroused by the glare of the fire and they quickly spread the alarm. Heroic efforts were made to con fine the flames u small area, but noth- ing done was effectuai, and one after an. other business houses went up in smoke.
 The town of Pineapple is greatly arous- ed over the matter, and citizens who had last by the flames joined with their moie e fortunate neighbors in raising a sum to be offered as a reward for the capture and conviction of any of the miscreants responsible for the Iynching and contia- grafton. One thousand dollars was quick ly made up and this sum was placed in a bank, where sIt awaits a claimant.
 So far there Is no evfdencp which will conneS any person with the crime. but ofaeialA and citizens generally are deter mined that any clue found will be fol- lowed closely

 Both trains had orders to meet at Oakdale Park but as the westbound train was not doing as wei as was ex- pected the orders were changed.

The eastbound train got the new orders 1t Ninth Avenue in Grand Rapids and tl1o operator at McCords where the westbound train was to re- ceive its orders, put out his red signal on the order board The westbound train came along and ran by the signal The McCords operator immediately reported this to the despatcher and then went immediately to his signal board where he found that the iisht was out. The light was burning and showing red two min utes before the westbound train came alonR. The high winds. however. blew 1t out in the short time.'
 At the general esHces here of the Pere Marquette Rai1roas the following report from Superintendent Place regarding the head-on collision of the two trains was gwen out:

 St. Louis, Dec. z6.-The troubled y science of some unknown person q q J- sons has resulted in $4o0 being recg Y oy the City Treasurer and 800 by .S aals of different railroads during Y Y eek. During the forepart of the City Treasurer Franciscus receivedG1s fol- lowing letter enclosing five so bills:
 Herein find $t00 on account of any old claim or evasion of tax by us. There Is $500 more to come to you on this in full to date. Scrupulous Conscience.
 The next letter enclosing a similar amount and said there was s2O0 yet to come. The third said $i0O was yet to come and the last letter, received today, said the full amount of s400 due had been paid All four leters bore date of De- cember g. 1903, and apparently had been written by a woman. Treasurer Francis GUS does not know who sent the money :. It was placed in the municipal revenue fund. Apparently the same writer seiis the letters received by different railroad officials during the week distributing S9O0.
 President Joseph Ramsey. Jr.. of the Wabash, and several other officials of that road received letters, all of which read as follows:
 Herein find so currency in full pay ment of any old debts of years gone by.
 ''Scrupulous Conscience"
 Eight of these letters enclosing altogeth- CT $40O were received by Wabash officials. Vice e-President c. c. Warner of the Mis- souri Pacific received two letters, one coming today, each of which contained $50. Officers of the Burlington road re- ceived six letters enclosing altogether $500. Vice President c. H. Beggs and Treasurer Hamilton of the St Louis and San Fran crisco road each re. sived a $50 letter to- day. All the recipients are at a loss to know why the money was sent or who sent it. It was at first thought that some practical joker had sent spurious bills but the banks declared the money to be legal tender
 "Scrupulous conscience" also sent let ter containing s1O bill to D. McAuliffe. a druggist, ito pay any old debts and quoting the golden rule. Mrs. William Culliuan, wife of an undertaken received leter containing $i0 bill in settlement of any old debts and concluding Pay. for your honest friend" It is believed that many other letters from "Scrupulous Conscience" have been received ln the city during the week.
