srEHOGRAPHER ASSAULTED.
Young Woman Beaten Into InsensI-
blIity In Boston

Boston, Nov. 25.-While sitting alone
in one Of the offices of the Boston Note
Brokerage company on Milk street to-
day Miss Lillian B. Goff, thirtv-two
years Of age, stenographer, was brut-
ally assaulted by a man who forced his
way into the apartment and struck her
repeatedly on the head and arms with
heavy iron drill. The woman was taken
to a hospital and is in serious condi-
tion. Her assailant escaped. It was at
first thought that the assault followed
a quarrel about terms of loan, but
later, when an investigation disclosed
the fact that S400 was missing from the
Office safe, robbery was assigned as the
motive. &
After regaining consciousness at the
hospital Miss Golf gave the police the
name of her assailant, and they are now
searching for him. He is said to be an
employe of the Boston Coal company,
who has been frequent visitor to the
Office on business. According to Miss
Goffe's story she had just begun her
days work when the man rushed into
the office, leaped over the wooden gate
leading to the inner apartment and
struck her several blows over the head
and face with a heavy steel drill.

FAR EASTERN SITUATION.
shows No Improvement-Japa Better
Prepared Than Russia

shows No Improvement-Japan Better
Prepared Than Russia
London, Nov. 25.--The Times Toxic
correspondent cables that the Far East
ern situation shows no improvement.
The minimum proposals Of the Japanese
government were submitted last month,
but the Russian government still pre-
serves silence, which is producing bad
effect. 1t is feared that unless some
basis Of agreement shall be arranged be-
fore the opening of the Japanese diet
December the situation may possibly
be carried beyond diplomatic control.
The Times Pekin correspondent, re-
ferring to the publication Of exaggerat-
ed accounts as to the number Of Rus
sian troops reviewed at Port Arthur in
October says:
while it is undeniable that Russia
has largely increased and is still in
creasing her garrisons in Manchuria, it
is equally undeniable that her prepara-
tions have been hurriedly made and are
very incomplete and less advanced than
Russia would desire the world to be-
lieve. Japan, is apparently the only one
OF the powers to be undeceived. Such
official exaggeration is believed to indi-
cate uneasiness in the face Of the COM
pleteness OF the Japanese preparations,
a completeness which many observers
believe will astonish the world"

WIN Maintain Her Supremacy In the
Persian Gulf.

NSESzan
Bunder Abbas, Gulf Of Ornuz. Persia.
Nov rs. While on his way here the
yiceroy Of India, Lord Curzon Of Ked-
lesion, held a durbar at Shargaf, which
was attended by many prominent Arab
chiefs of that coast. He made a signi-
ficant speech, reaffirming the intention
of Great Britain to maintain her SUI
rremacy in the Persian Gulf, and de-
clared that the government adhered to
its policy of guardianship and protec-
tion of the chiefs. The viceroy remind
ed the chiefs of their engagements not
to enter into agreements or correspond
ence with any other power than Great
Britain, not to admit agents of any
other government and not to ALLEVIATE
any part of their territory. If the chiefs
adhered to these engagements, as they
had done in the past, no one would be
allowed to tamper with their rights and
liberties
The viceroy concluded with emphasize
ing that the influence Of the British
government, which maintained the in
depdence of the chiefs and made the
Gulf secure to the ships of all nations,
must remain supreme.
The speech of the yiceroy to the Brit
ish Indian traders who have arrived
here similarly asserted British ascen-
dency in trade and other interests in
the Persian Gulf, which had been won
in competition with other nations who
held "or aspired to hold, ports on the
Indian seas.

COUNTESS ACQUITTED.
NOT Guilty of PaIming or Bogus Heir
TO Estate,

Berlin, Nov. 25.-The Countess Isa-
bella Wesierska Kwilecki, on trial here
since October 26, on the charge Of pre-
senting a false heir to an estate at
Wroblewo, province of Posen, was ac-
quilted to-day.
The countess, during the closing ar
guments, sat unrnoved in the prisoners
enclosure occasionally examining the
faces Of the jurors through a lorgnette
or glancing through the window at the
gathering crowds Of her Polish country
men, who assembled in the neighbor-
hood Of the court house with the design
Of making a. political demonstration if
she should be convicted. Race feeling
has been a notable feature Of the trial,
as the three hundred thousand Poles
resident in Berlin never forget an op-
portunity to protect against Prussian
Justice. The Polish newspapers assert
ed that if the countess was convicted
It would be caused by race partiaity.
The authorities, expecting rioting
should the result be a conviction, filed
the court and adjacent squares with
police.
The announcement Of the verdict
turned the prospective rioters into a
cheering, joyful crowd. The countess
and the boy, who is now heir to one of
the finest estates in Prussian Poland,
drove in the countess own carriage,
with her husband, to their town house.
The trial cost between $4,000 and $780,

HURRYISG CANAL TREATY.
special Train TO Garry Bearer from
Colon to Panama.

Colon, Nov. 25.-It is proposed that
when the messenger bearing the Pan
anna canal treaty reaches Colon, De-
cember /. to have a special train ready
to transport him quickly across the
isthmus to Panama, where the treaty
will be Immediately signed by the men,
bers of the junta-
The train meantime will be kept
waiting, and when the treaty has been
signed its bearer will be promptly
brought back to Colon. The Yucatan,
due to sail December for New York,
will be delayed until the messenger ar
rives when he will embark on the
Yucatan, thus starting for New York
on the same date that h earrives. This
proposal is meeting with some opposi-
tion, those desiring to discuss the treaty
at length fearing that its terms would
be too favorable to the United States.
1t is probable, however, that this oppo-
sition will be overcome.

APTITUDE OF UNITED STATES
a..m.sssr Powslps Hint TO San Domingo
Regarding Revelations


Regarding Revolutions
washington, Nov. 25.It is said at the
state department that the statement at
tributed to United States Minister Pow
ell in the press dispatches that periodical
revolutions ought to cease because they
interrupted commercial relations with
other countries and augmented the debt
of Santo Domingo, which was without
means to pay foreign creditors; that
these periodical revolutions endanger
the peace of his government and Of the
governments Of other nations, and that
the present revolution, II continued,
would imperil the sovereignty of Santo
Domingo, is made upon the ministers
own authority and without special di-
rection from the state department. This
does not mean that the state depart
ment withholds approval Of the minis
ter's statement which in fact is, 1t Is
pointed out, directly in line with the
representations which United States
Minister Beaupre was instructed to
make to the government Of Colombia.
It is the intention of the department to
hold the new revolutionary government
to all enga gements respecting arbitra-
ton and American concessions which
were entered into under the administra-
tion of Wos Y Gil, Notwithstanding the
disposition shown by the Jiminez party
to disavow these agreements. W.

Aside from This the Commission APP
pointed to Inspect the Figure ON the
Dome of the State Capitol Find No
APpTecIabIo DeseriOrRtion-Soms of

building.


Hartford, Nov. 25.-The commission
appointed by State Comptroller Seeley
to examine the Genius on the dome
of the state capitol and the detailed
construction and the masonry support
ing the same has submitted report to
the comptroller for consideration. The
report, in part, says: .-..
From a careful and detailed examin-
alton of Genius we fiend that it is in a
very satisfactory condition. With the
possible exception of a few cracks in
the draperies, which. can be easily re-
paired, we fail to discover any appre-
ciable deterioration from the twenty
five years service of this statue in its
lofty position. ..:
after Genius was displaced 1t was
considered advisable by our commission
to remove several Of the upper courses
of the masonry supporting the statue
to determine the actual condition of the
joints in the different courses and to
find out to what extent the masonry
had been affected. s1..
Thus far the capstone and five
courses below 1t have been removed and
at each joint where lime mortar, the
principal bonding material used in the
construction Of this part of the capitol,
was found and the board between the
adjacent courses was broken the ce-
menting qualities were absent, and the
mortar could be easily crumbled be-
tween ones fingers. s
I'VE have carefully investigated the
question Of the safety of the Genius if
replaced in its former position and the
masonry constructed in conformity
with the original design by our present
improved methods, and find that 1t can
be accomplished without any reasora-
BILE doubt or uncertainty as to its per-
manent stability" s5s..
"The principal member in the con-
struction to carry the overturning
strain Of about $500 foot-pounds Is the
main tie-rod extending from the base OF
the statue down through the masonry
to the top Of the lantern. The new rod
to be obtained under our recommends
tions can be safely depended upon for
tensibIe strength of 75,000 pounds, the
four smaller bolts to be used to prevent
twisting strains between the capstone
and the .generius,' while designed or
intended to carry wind strains, except
those producing twisting movements,

PITTSBURG THEATER AFTRE.
Audience Escapes without Any Evi
dent Sign of Panic.

huusohoo Nschpes "asnouS ANY Evs
dent Sign of Panic.
Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 25.-Much excite
ment prevailed, but fortunately no loss
of life nor injury to any of the audience
resulted from fire which broke out in
the Avenue theater, a continuous vau-
deville house, this evening, during a
performance. The audience lost no
time in leaving the house, but no panic
was evident, and in very short time
all were safely on the street. First ru-
mors had many people killed and hurt.
Harry Davis, owner of the theater,
places the property damage about s15,-
900.
The fire originated from an explosion
of film roll used in the cinematograph
apparatus, which was being operated in
the rear Of the balcony, and spread
quickly to the gallery above. The work
of the fire department was so prompt
and effective that the flames got no
further than the rear portions Of these
two sections.
Within fifteen minutes after the fire
was subdued, Manager Davis had a
large force of men at work clearing up
and signs out announcing that the
house wolud be open as usual to-mor-
row noon. - - '' '--

which is fifty-two seconds behind the
time made by John Joyce winner Of the

Broken knuckies In Both Hands as
tho Reason He Did Not Knsek out
HIS Man.
San FRANCISCO. Nov. 25.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons proved tonight that he has not
entirely lost his old time form when he
outboxed and outgeneralled George
Gardner for twenty full rounds. Fitz
was as awkward and as cunning as Of
yore and apparently realizing that he
must foster his strength there was not
a moment when. he was not carefulness
personified. While the old man could
avoid punishment from Gardner, he
could not knock out his opponent out.
although he landed number of vicious
blows. From this performance tonight
Gardner is not in Fits class. He
landed an old timer once in a while but
Fitz was always going away from him
and the blows were harmless. Several
times Fitz apparently had Gardner all
most out but he was either too tired or
lacked his old strength and could not
land knockout punch. Fitz was very
slilful in blocking and lodging Card
ner's blows and in the clinches and
breakaways was very careful. The fight
did not please the spectators and the
men in the ring were frequently hissed
when the went througha a round with
out apparently trying to fight.
Referee Eddie Graney, at the close
of the contest said that it was the
worst fight he ever saw. He was forced
to give the decision to Fitz because the
latter secured the knockdowns but
otherwise did no damage. It was ap-
parent that neither man was qualified
to claim championship honors.
After the fight Fitz appeared to be
overjoyed at his victory and claimed
that the reason he did not knock Card
1ler out was that he broke the knuckles
of both hands early in the contest.
1t was either for this reason or Fftz
chose to act mainly on the defensive
that the fight was not finished long be-
fore the twentieth round was over.
Gardeners eye was cut open and his
noce knocked askew while Fitz bled a
little at the mouth. But beyond that
there was NO damage to either man.
Gardner demonstrated that he did not
have hard punch in him. Whenever
he landed a swing it had no force inl
it and his left jabs had mo other effect
than to make Fits nose and mouth a
target. Fitz stood several times with
his guard open and allowed Gardner to
poke him in the nose SO FHtz could step
in and land short arm Jolts. There
We're occasional flashes when the Fitz
OF olden times appeared for mo-
ment, but 1t was only for a moment.
He seemed to tire quickly and after d.
short vicious rush, during which he
would land on Gardner and take the
grit out Of him, he would rest during
the remainder Of the round.
