Provincial Armies to Be Reorganized
on a National Basis.

TIENTSIN, China, Dec. 5.-Yuan Shi
Kai. the Governor of Chilli province,
received a telegram from the throne
to-day promoting him to the entire
command of the imperial army and
navy. the highest rank in China.
PEKING, Dec. 5.-An edict issued
to-day appoints Prince Ching, the
grand secretary; Yuan Shi Kai, the
Governor of Chill province, and Man
chu official to be a committee to reor-
ganize the armies of all the Chinese
provinces on a national basis, with sim
liar arms equipments and organiza-
ton.
While the edict indicates that the
Dowager Empress has some apprecia-
tion of her country's needs. there is
no reason to expect greater results
than from the recent similar de-
erees relative to financial, educational
and other reforms. Yuan Shi Kai is
the only member of the committee who
is competent to undertake the work,
but he, like Prince Ching, is overbur-
dened with other offices.
Prince Ching continues optimistic on
the subject Of the restoration of Man
churia. He tells the officials here that
the Car favors it's evacuation, and,
although Admiral Alexieff desires it's
annexation, the Car, according to
Prince Ching. will overrule him. Ching
with other Chinese officials, is appre-
hensive of the results of the British
advance in Thibet. The native press
fears it is a step toward partition which
the other powers may initiate.

SHIP STRIKES
ON ROCKS IN
FURIOUS GALE
Every Person on
Unknown Craft
PeriSheS.

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, Dec. s..
An unknown, square-rigged vessel, be-
lieved to be a Norwegian craft, struck
on Ferryland. Head, near Cape Race,
during a furious storm at midnight
last night and every person aboard
perished. One body was washed ashore
this morning, but bore nothing which
could possibly lead to it's identification
except a gold ring, marked with the
initials, u. E" Portions of the wreck
also drove ashore, bearing the letters,
'Torens," Levekapsy," "Bestr" and
"Kukal."
These are the only clews so far OBJ
tanned and nothing is known of the
ship in these waters, though ii prob
ably will be possible to identify her
when the sea becomes smooth.
The vessel struck at the foot of a
steep cliff and hung on the rocks for a
short period. Residents of the vicinity
were unable to assist the unfortunate
crew, as no, boat could live in the sea
which was running where the doomed
craft lay.
HAMBURG, Dec. 5-A terrific
snowstorm and dense fog prevails on

BARRIERS TO DIVORCES
IN RHODE ISLAND
Clergymen Agree to Make Trouble
for Those Who Would
RemarrY.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Dec. 5.-Rep-
clergymen of Rhode Island,
headed by the Right Rev. w. w. Nc
Vickar, Episcopal Bishop, who have
been endeavoring for years to have the
State divorce law amended, have en-
tered into an agreement regarding the
matter of marrying divorced persons.
Out of $50 clergymen in the State more
than 200 have agreed to make it as
difficult as possible for divorced per-
sons to remarry and to treat all ques-
tions of marriage and divorce in such
a way as to advance interdenomina-
tional comfy. OF the number signing
the agreement, sixty-three ministers
will refuse to marry person of an
other denomination than their own,
who have been divorced, and who
could not marry again according to the
ecclesiastical laws of that denomina-
ton; eighteen agree not to marry a
person who has been divorced for any
cause. In cases where divorce has
been granted for unfaithfulnes, lis
ministers declare they will only
solemnize the marriage of the innocent
party.
Nearly all the denominations in the
State are represented.

SHIPPING oBsTRUCTED
By ENGLISH FoGs
Streets Are Dark and Steamers Are
Unable to Leave Southamp-
ton Waters.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-A dense fog is
impeding shipping in Southampton
waters. Steamers are unable to either
enter or leave the port. The sailing Of
the American line steamer New York
was delayed thereby. The fog in Lon
don during the early hours was the
thickest of the season, locomotion was
most difficult and there were num-
Der of casualties through collisions in
the streets The inconvenience was
accentuated by the failure of the cleo
trio light system in some districts.
Buckingham Palace and the whole
district of Pimlico were plunged in
darkness. Through this cause many
shops had to be closed. The authorl-
ties started flare lights in the streets,
thereby adding to the weirdness of the
general gloom. Trains were much de-
Iayed and outside work had to be
stopped in many places.

WIND SHEDS ASHES
ON SAN BERNARDINo
Forest Fire Is Under Control, but
the Lumber Loss Is
:. Heavy.

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 1.-THE
streets of San Bernardino this morn
ing looked as though a volcano had
been doing business in this vicinity.
During the night the high north wind
carried the ashes from the forest fires
to the city and early this morning they
were still falling. The fire which has
caused such an immense amount Of
damage is still raging. though it is
thought to be under control.
AS near as can be estimated at this
time about 500 square miles have been
burned over and the loss, including
the Brookings lumber yards, will reach
$3.50, 900, the loss on the lumber alone
being 100000, but this is partially COW
cred by insurance.
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 5.-During the
past two exceedingly dry days Escon-
dido has lost much by fire. The fiume
line of the Escondido irrigation district
was burned in several places and there
being no water in the f1ume the fire ran
along It unimpeded Two or three tres
ties went with the rest, and the total
damage to the fiume is estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000.

regard to the action of the japanese
Parliament, which met to-day, on the
troubles with Russia. 1t is not eX-
pected at the japanese Legation here
that definite intelligence in regard to
the crisis will arrive before Tuesday.
The majority of the diplomatic author
tiles agree that peace will be preserved
only by a substantial concession on the

The British Government is so con-
vinced of the imminence of war be-
tween these two countries that several
army officers sailed to-day to act as for

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 5.-Japan
has communicated indirectly with the
Russian Government urging upon it
the desirability for an early response
to the Japanese note regarding affairs

CARGoES OF WAR SUPPLIES.
Danish Ships Under Russian Flag
Are Transporting Munitions.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 5.-The ships of
the East Danish Company, which has
number of vessels under the Russian
flag and is connected with the French
East Asiatic Company, are carrying
unusually large cargoes of ammunition
and other war supplies to Russian
ports In Asia. The last steamer of this
line leaving Russian Baltic ports prior
to the close of navigation has just
sailed, loaded to her fullest capacity
Hereafter the shipping will be from
Odessa, from which port the Danish
company is prepared to transport
troops.
Every effort has been made to main
tain secrecy regarding these war ship
ments Exceptionally well-informed
persons here believe that despite the
warlike activity the measures taken are
chiefly precautionary, and they express
little doubt of an ultimate amicable
settlement unless hostilities are pre-
cipitated by some unexpected move on
the part of Japan.

BANK LOSES
THOUSANDS
ON A TRAIN
Mysterious Theft Of
a Fortune in
Notes.
Registered Package Is
Rifed While in

Vancouver Detectives Bafled
by the Skillful Work
of Criminals.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Dec. 5.-News
of the robbery of $10,5O0 in new notes
of the Bank of Hamilton leaked out
to-day in Vancouver. The theft is a
mystery and the railway mail service
detectives are now no nearer solu-
tion than they were when they started
to work three days ago.
The notes were sent from Winnipeg
in registered package. They were
in five, ten and twenty dollar bills
new, crisp and freshly cut. Two bank
officials in Winnipeg are witnesses to
each other that they placed the money
in the package.
On Wednesday il arrived in Van
couver and was duly delivered to the
manager of the Bank of Hamilton
here. The sensation came when it was
opened. The labels were apparently
official and the fastenings secure. But
inside, instead of there being bank
notes, there was but roll of brown
paper.
A careful examination developed the
fact that the package which arrived
here was not the one which left Win
nipeg, but a carefully prepared dupli-
cate of it, so far as outward appear
ances went. Detectives started to work
at both ends of the line and they
found that somewhere on the train
between Winnipeg and Vancouver the
package was stolen and the prepared
one substituted. Where this substitu-
ton took place no one can tell SO far.
The bank will lose nothing, for the
package was insured for its full value.
No record was kept of the numbers of
the notes, for they were all of small
denomination, and the thieves will
have no difficulty in getting rid of
them.

Wiju was selected by the United

Yongampho because, lying forty miles
above the latter port, which is at the
mouth of the Yalu River, the country

officers at first decided upon Tunglaio
as the second Manchurian port, after
Moukden, to be opened, but it appears
that Japan had previously made the
same demand and had secured its al
lowance in her treaty with China, so
that a request from the United States
was unnecessary, and Antung was
chosen instead. But the naval officers
who examined the reach of the Yalu
