A MISCAlCULATiON.
Officers of British Cruiser Flora Deny
Criminal Care!essness.

Esquimault, Is. c., Dec. 1S.-At
today's sitting of the court martial
which is trying the officers of the
British cruiser Flora, recently strand
ed in British Colombian waters, the
defense began the presentation of tes-
timony. Captain Baker, the command
er of the Flora, and Lieut.. Grant, the
navigating officer, both made state
ments in which they denied neglect
and while admitting the fault might
be their own, as an error Of judgment
had been made, they held that the cir
cumstanceS were so unfortunate that
they were guiltless of the charge of
hazarGing and stranding the vessel.
They stated that the speed of the
cruiser was such that by reckoning she
should have been past Village Point.
A spar was sighted by Capt. Baker and
others with a sea gull perched on it
which gave spar distorted by fog the
exact appearance OF Village Point spar
which is surmounted by an inanimate
sea gull. The result was a miscal-
culation of the vessels position and the
subsequent stranding of the cruiser.
A number of other witnesses gave
evidence to this effect.

BAD MONEY.
Two Dangerous Counterfeiters
Arrested at Boston.
Their Money Very C|ever|y Made by a
Photographic Process
And Has Fooled Many Banks-De-
tected in Manchester, N. II.

Boston, Dec 1S.-Following close
after the great raid on counterfeiters
1T Revere, the United States secret
service agents arrested in Boston, to-
lay, two men, who it is alleged, are as
dangerous a pair of counterfeiters as
The government has had to deal with
for long time. The men under arrest
are Fred L. Wilson and Edward d.
Wiggin, both claiming the title of doc
tor. although according to the officials
neither has the right to do so.
Wilson and Wiggin are not expert
engravers, their work being wholly of
Photographic nature. The counter
felt money alleged to have been made
~ them was so exact an imitation of
government paper that it was readily
accepted as genuine by most of the
Banks through which it passed. The
secret service officials said, tonight,
hat not much of this bogus paper had
been circulated as the men had been
watched too closely.
The counterfeit money and dates on
which it was discovered are as follows
\ S. note on the Fourth National Bank
If Boston, Aug. 1; $40 note on the same
>ank, Nov. 1; $40 note on Mechanics
National Bank of New Bedford, Sept.
!; $40 Millers River National Bank,
Athol, Mass, Oct. 90; SIS First National
Sank, Lynn, Oct. 26; S. Cape Cod Ma
ional Bank, Harwich, Nov. IS; $40
elliot National Bank, Boston, Dec. II.
Wilson apparently furnished the
brains for the work. He was an ex-
BERT photographer and had worked in
he studios of j. f. Purdy and other
vell-known Boston artists, besides
CRYING three years as finisher and re-
oucher in the studio of r. w. Call of
Manchester, N. H. The counterfeit
money was made by photograph
process. The color work and the imi-
line paper money We're done with COL
bred pencils. The counterfeit notes
we're perfect reproductions of the orig
nails with the exception that the color
ould be washed off.
Wilson and Wiggin, yesterday after
noon, visited Manchester, n. H, where
9th of them had previously lived, and
the former called upon his former en-
'loyer Mr.. Call, and reminding the lat
:er that he owed s. for a board bill,
aid him with SO bill. Upon taking
he bill to the first National Bank for
deposit, Teller Andrews pronounced it
counterfeit.
Wilson was brought to the bank to
Hxplain, and saying he knew where he
lad received it, offered to make good.
Teller Andrews refused to surrender it
md after Call and Wilson had left
ontifipd tho Of ~,

TWAS WILD.
Corti's Death Followed Row Of
Montpelier Socialists.
Witnesses Say That He Was Trying
to Prevent the Trouble.
But No Ono can Tell Who Did the
Fatal Shooting.

Montpelier, VT. Dec. 1S.-"Why
should we wait for lecturers?" They
ere takers; they are priests; we should
throw them out. We should break their
heads"
This cry went ringing through So
cialist hall by Martin Rizzi on the night
OF Oct. 3, testified Tsar Bruzzi at the
trial of Alexander Garretto, today, was
the direct cause of the riot which re-
suited in the death of Eli Corti.
Angry mutterings and yelled threats
had been heard in the hall earlier in
the evening, said Bruzzi, but the first
sign of open revolt followed Rizzi's cry
Of defiance. Trouble then quickly fol-
lowed, ending in the general melee
which cost Corti his life and resulted
in wounds and bruises for many of the
participants. Bruzzi was the first witt
ness put on by the defence.
The case of the prosecution was con-
cluded soon after the opening of the
morning session. The only testimony
of particular Importance offered by the
prosecution before the close was that
of Angelo Scampani, who testified re-
garding an anti-mOrtem statement
made by Corti. At the request OF the
officers he said he went to the hospital
lust before Corti died and had a brief
talk with the wounded man. Corti
told him, witness said, that Alexander
Caretto shot him.
The defence called several other wit
nesses, all of whom gave more or less
confused versions of the riot. The wit
nesses thought that Garretto wished to
avoid trouble and was trying to make
his way from the hall. The Solists
blocked the doorway and during the
clash Corti and Vochini were wounded
.Albino Comoi heard Corti cry: "StoI
right there" Garretto yelled: LET me
alone" and a dozen men shouted
xiii him, thhrow him out of the win
dow" Others said: stop them. don't
let them CO." Corti took an active part
in the trouble. He could not say who
shot Corti.i
Those who corroborated this testi-
mony were no more definite as to who
did the shooting. The trial will be con-
tinued, tomorrow.

SILVER SERVICE
From American People Pre-
scented Sir Thomas Upton
At Banquet at London--Sir Thomas
Accepts With Much Feeling.
Will Challenge Again-AIready Com.
municating with New Workers.

London, Doc. 18.-Sir Thomas Lipton
| announced his readiness to again chal-
lenge for the Americas cup when the
silver service subscribed for by the
people of the United States was pre-
scented to him at dinner held at the
Hyde Park Hotel, tonight. The dinner
was attended by several members of
the House of Commons, the members of
the London presentation committee, in
Guiding John r. Carter, second secre-
tary of the United States embassy
Capt. Charles H. Stockton, United
States naval attache, and Major John
r. Beacon, United States military at
tache. and by nearly 100 Americans res
ident In London, as well as several who
are now visiting here.
Consul General Evans presided and in
presenting the service said that it was
Unprecedented for such an honor to be
paid foreigner by the people of the
United States, but that Sir Thomas
Upton had won the golden opinions of
those from whom he had tried to wrest
the Americas cup.
Sir Thomas Upton replying said he
was proud man to be the recipient Of
such splendid gift, adding: 1T will
be cherished by me as my most valued
TREASURED"
Referring in humorous vein to the
value of the gift in raising the wind"
Sir Thomas said that he never really
had any difficulty in so doing except at
Sandy Hook. He had hoped to add an
interesting item to the fiscal contro-
versy by increasing British silver i'm
ports with that Interesting import. the
Americas cup. Having failed to do so.
he found in this silver service splen-
did substitute.
Speaking with much feeling, Sir
Thomas said that If any actionSof his
had tended to the development of bet
ter feeling between Great Britain and
the United States it would be a source
of sincere happiness to him to the end
of his days, though what he had done
was merely a slight return for the gen.
crosby and courtesy showered upon
him by the American people. Continu-
ing Sir Thomas said:
1.-The love which always exists be-
tween a true mother and a true daugh-
ter-however wealthy and aristocratic
that daughter may become, including
duchesses and other Americans-should
keep the two countries together. Amer
icas progress toward the Southern pole
was only hindered by the newly found
ed republic of Panama, and we must
work together for the peace of the
world. Blessed are the peacemakers.
quoted Sir Thomas, who, amidst laugh
ter, finished the quotation, " for they
shall inherit the earth.
Sir Thomas said that he had sent a
letter to the New York Yacht Club
dealing with another possible challenge
for the cup. He added that he was
quite willing to have one last try, pro
viding l have a reasonable chance of
success, especially as the next Sham
rock will be lucky four-leafed one"
An entertainment by American art
lists brought to a close thoroughly
successful event.

RACE PROBLEM

nothing that is not the product OF IN
dustry, thrift, obedience to law and
uprightness; that he cannot, by reason
OF council or league, accomplish any
thing; that he can do much by work
that violence may crafty his passions
but it cannot accomplish his ambl-
ton; that he may eat rarely OF the
cooking of equality, but he will always
find. when he does, that there is death
in the pot.
rLet the negro learn once for all that
there is unending separation of the races;
that the two peoples may develop side by
side to the fullest, but that they cannot
intermingle. Let the white man deter
mine that no man shall by act or thought
or speech, cross this line, and the race
problem will be at an end.
IF manifest destiny leads to the seiZ-
IRE of Panama, it is certain that it like
wise leads to the dominance of the eau
casian. When the negro recognizes this
fact we shall have peace and good Will
between the races, but / would not have
the white people forget their duty to the
negro. We must seek the truth and pur-
sue it,
I'VE owe an obligation to the man in
black We brought him here. He served
us well. He is patient and teachable.
We owe him gratitude. Above all, we
owe him justice. We cannot forget his
fidelity and we ought not to magnify
his faults. We cannot change his color,
neither can we ignore his service. We
must rise by ourselves, we must exc
cute judgment and righteousness, we
must educate not only ourselves but see
to it that the negro has an opportunity
of education. AS white man am afraid
of one thing for my race. and that is that
we shall become afraid to give the negro
a fair chance. The first duty of every
man is to develop himself to the utter
most, and the only limitation upon this
duty is that he shall take pains to see
that in his own development he does nc
injustice to those beneath him. This is
true of races as well as of individuals.
considered properly it is not a limi-
tation but a condition of development
The white man in the South can never
attain to his fullest growth until he does
absolute justice to the negro race. If he
is doing that now it is well for him. Ii
he is not doing it, he must seek to know
the ways of truth and pursue them"

STRIVING FOR SETTLEMENT.
St. Petersburg Says Negotiations with
Japan Will Continue.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 1S.-The opinion
here is that the Russo-Japanese nego-
tiations will proceed. 1t is pointed out
that there is no reason why Japan if
not satisfied with Russia's reply should
break off the negotiations as the reply
is in no sense an ultimatum, leaving
the way open for counter proposals. 1t
is suggested as an expedient in case
no agreement can be reached that an
arrangement might be made to MAIN
tain the present status for a number of
years.
Optimistic anticipations of a pacific
solution of the Russo-Japanese crisis
are still entertained in the leading Rus
sian official circles, in spite of some
disquietude on the part of the public
and alarmist press reports.
