BOATSWAIN'S BRAVERY
DERRY OF THE ADDER SAVES
 THAT CRAFT.
The Peoria Arrives at Norfolk With Submarine Boat in Tow and Goes Back to Aid the
 Mocassin.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 1.-The naval tug Peoria arrived at the Navy Yard today with the submarine torpedo boat Adder in tow and left tonight for Courrituck to aid the Yankton and Vixen in floating the Mocassin, now high and dry upon the beach.
 The bravery of Boatswain Deery of the Adder's crew saved that craft. In the teeth of a thirty-four mile gale, with mountainous seas crashing over the Peoria and burying the drifting sub- marine boats beneath tons of water, Deery responded to the call for volun- teers and with a slender line fastened around his waist plunged into the ocean and battled with wind and tide for a full hundred yards, finally reaching the Ad- der and gaining her deck. There he hauled 8 thick hawser aboard by means of the life line and made it fast.
 All this time the Adder was being toss- ed about like a cork. but Deery held on and accomplished his work. Then he went back to the tug. hand over hand on the hawser
 The Currituck life saving station reports the Mocassin in good condition without any water in her. From the coast re- ports, however, 1t is not thought any headway can be made toward floating the vessel without the aid of wreckers, as she IS h1gn ana Qfy upon tne Deacn at lO" water and directly in a bad surf at high tide. The Adder is leaking and her cleo trical machinery is badly damaged.
 Lieutenant English. commanding officer of the Peoria. says the little boats lowed very well until they were just off the Virginia capes. There the heavy seas running at the time proved too much for the frail towing bits of the Adder which was towing first, following the tug. They snapped short and the two submarines went adrift.
 The Peoria sought to catch them, but they drifted southward before the wind. There were only the broken bits, on which to get a hold, so the tug could only run in between them and keep them from pumping themselves.
 All Wednesday night this continued and then the line between the boats snapped. It was then that Deery swan to the Adder,

PoWELL's CONDITIONS.
Terms on Which New Government
 Will Be Recognized.


 San Domingo, Dec. 1.-The provisional Government today made an informal re- quest for recognition to the diplomatic and consular body. United States Min ister PowelPs condition. on which the United States will recognize the new Government, are as follows:
 The Government must agree to abide by and respect the agreements made by the preceding administrations: must rec ognize the matter of settlement arrived at in the case of the improvement com pany of New York and the Ros and Sala cases; must recognize and carry into full effect the concession to the Clyde Steam ship Company. and must grant the priv ileges to the United States to establish. at dangerous points on the coast, light houses to aid maritime commerce
 Should the provisional Government not accept these conditions. its recognition by the United States is doubtful.
 Owing to the decree of the provisional Government making custom house dues payable in cash without considering the contracts entered into with former Gov ernments of Santo Domingo, the mer- chants have agreed not to import goods unless the Government agrees to set apar! 30 per cent of the duty towards the pay. nient of the sums due to merchants under contracts with previous Governments of the Republic. The provisional Govern ment is considering the matter. Should 1t refuse to do as the merchants require, all importations will be stopped.
 The news from the interior is more fa- vorable. The weak financial condition of the Government is unchanged.

 The sentiment was again extremely bullish In wheat and trading was on a liberal scale Fears Of damage to the Winter wheat through lack of moisture were quite general among traders before the opening and 0n initial safes M Ma was unchanged to Ac higher at SiK9 SI%. There was good general demand at price quickly advanced to 92N, when a slight reaction occurred. The decline was due to selI- ing by pit traders who had reason to believe that the big long was disposing of a part of his holdings. Selling on the part of st. Louis houses aided fin the setback At the decline however. there was buying by commission houses and shorts and the market again be- came strong. A better tone fin late cables and the oultsh Ohio crop report stimulated buy ing during the latter part of the session and the close was strong Final figures on May were S2%. after touching s2%. Clearances equaled 426. 800 bushels. Primary rnceints were l,o64. 300 bushels compared with 9os, 900 a year ago Bradstreet's reported exports of wheat and flour for the week of 42oI ,ooo against 5. 5o4, 900 a year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago had combined receipts of Io9 cars against ,I6o last week and 63e a year ago.
 There was a further advance in corn due largely to sympathy with wheat and a general spread Of the bulish sentiment. Trading was of peter character than for some time past Buying was mostly by shorts Small receipts. an improved cash demand for new yellow corn and higher cables helped in the advance. Af- ter opening hQhc higher at 43%43M May sold between 43 and ASA. closing at 43%@43%. Receipts l73 cars, 2 contract.
 oats were active and strong, influenced largely by the action of wheat and corn, There was some liquidation early. but there was no evidence of any selling by the biS holders. Small receipts and fair cash demand were bull factors May opened a shade to K 9Ao higher at S6M036x. ranged between 36h@36% and 36N and closed at 3e%63s% Receipts, 100 cars
 Provisions were easier early, due to liberal hog receipts and lower prices. Later the mar ket firmed up under a good demand credited to shorts. The strength in grains lent some support Closing prices were steady with Jan uary pork up Sc at SII.o5; January lard un- changed at S6.45 and ribs Sc higher at s5. 95

necides Apainst Railrnad

Washington, Dec. 4.-In the case of s. Mertens against the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad Company, involving tho long and short haul question, the Inter- state Commerce Commission today held that the lumber rate of 10 cents for the shorter haul from intermediate points to Louisville, as against cents for the long, CT haul. from the same points to Nash vile, was unduly discriminating. The commission decides that a difference of cent in the rates is sufficient to offset the difference in circumstances and con- ditions between the two points, and that any greater difference is in violation of the Interstate Commerce law.

 favorite method of suicide in Japan lately has been to leap over certain wa ter-falls. So frequent have such occur rences become that police are now con- stantly stationed in their neighborhood. and large notice boards are erected bear ing inscriptions in large letters, of which the following translation Is an example: Do not drown yourself here! Intending suicides are warned that heaven disap- proves of the utilization of Kegon Water fall for the purpose. This is certified on the best priestly authority, and serious consequences in the hereafter are guar anteed. To drown here is also forbidden by the prefectural authorities"

"PARsIFAL" CONDEMNED.
Bishop Burges Breaches Against the
 Opera.

Opera.
 New York, Dec. 4.-Right Rev. Freder- ick Burges. D. D., Bishop of Long Island, preached sermon in St. Paurs Chapel, New York. today in which he protested against the forthcoming production of "Parsifaf'' in this city.
 He did not mention the opera by name, out ne left no doubt as to his meaning when he said: ''The last supper, with it's sacred feeling and associations is to be- placed before our eyes. We cannot be blinded to the blasphemy of this by all the grand harmony and fine language that even a great artist can give us Let them laugh at us. sheer at us even, if tbev must; choose plots from the Bible, but at least let that story of our Lord remain sacred. Let them choose whom they will Tor their plays from all the characters in history, put let this man, our Savior, go through time as the one whose being was 100 holy to be profaned before eyes. Let us be spared this climax for the scoffers on our Christmas eve."
