! Shanghai, Aug. ga long meetins
of the consular body was held toda.
for the purpose of discussing the CASE
of the Russian cruiser Askold and the
destroyer Grozovoi, which put into this
port August IL. No decision was
reached, but it is believed the fna
action will be the same as in the case
of the Russian gunboat Manjur, which
put into the port and was compelled
Ito dismantle March 81 The Ameri
can men-of-war in the harbor, while
retaining an outward appearance of
inaction, have for several days been
practically cleared for action, with
gun sights in position and steam up.
Rear Admiral Sterling is determined
that the Japanese shall not interfere
with the Russian vessels. He has, it
is reported, offered to escort the Ask
old and Grozovoi beyond the three
mile limit.
The foreign consuls held another
meeting this afternoon, which resulted
in the preparation of statement of
established facts regarding the Rus
sian warships Askold and Grozovof.
The Russian authorities show disin-
clination to reconsider their refusal tu
comply with the Chinese demand that
the two ships leave Shanghai or dis.

To Settle Neutrality Questions.
London, Aug. 22-The afternoon pa
pers take it for granted that II any
Intervention is necessary at Shanghai,
the powers will act together ia uphold
ing the neutrality OF China equally
against the belligerents. The West
minister Gazette says: IF tn. .s,l7eri-
can government will lead the way IN
this matter, it will be doing a service
to all governments, for it is high time
that neutral powers come to an under
standing about the limits of Chinese
neutrality, SO as to be able to act to-
gether and arrive at the solution OF a
complicated situation" The Pail Mall
Gazette considers that the powers
should follow at Shanghai the correct
precedent set by Germany at Kaichou
and insist on the obedience of the Rus
slams to orders to leave Or dis arm with
out delay, and thus settle the question
of the neutrality of China for the lest
of the war.

ARIzONA's STATEHOOD PLEA.
Would Rather Wait Than he Joined with
New Mexico In the Eli.

WASHINGTON, Dec l3.-The Statehood
bill has been considered for several days
by the Senate Committee on Territories,
and will probably be reported to the Senate
tomorrow. A long session of the commit
tee was held to-day, at which the text of the
bill was perfected and the testimony Of
several interested parties taken. Among
those heard were Gov Brodie, Delegate
Wilson and B. A. Fowler OF Arizona and
Delegate Rodey of New Mexico,
Gov. Brodie made strong protest against
the inclusion Of Ar izona and New Mexico
in one State. He declared that the people
Of Arizona were unanimously opposed TO
joint Statehood and preferred to remain
in Territory il they could not be admitted
as q single State. The enormous size of
the proposed new State. the antagonistio
pense OF conducting a State Government
and other arguments were raised.
He assured the committee that he felt
justified in promising Congress that IL the
Statehood bill were abandoned Arizona
would promise not to press the question of
Statehood until after the next census, in 1910,
and perhaps would wait indefinitely until
her population had reached a point where
she would be justified in claiming single
Senator Bard Of California, the only
Republican on the committee opposed to
the bill, gave his views at length. He
based his objections largely on the ground
that the vast area composing the proposed
new States was entitled to greater represen-
tation in Congress than II would obtain
under the bill. He urged postponement Of
Statehood, 30 far as Arizona was concerned.
and declared that he was satisfied that the
people Of that Territory were unanimously
opposed to junction with New Mexico.
The Democratic members Of the COM
mittee have taken little interest in the bill,
only one member attending the hearings.
The Democrats are certain that 1t is the
the bill during this session and win content
themselves with making objections TO 1t
in speeches on the floor OF the Senate. They
say. however, that they will not In any
event resort to flibustering to prevent the
passage of the bill.

Mrs. Gerschnesser has been in the habit
Of dining at Goldstein's restaurant, i2o
Forsyth street, and when Goldstein told
her the other night that she was too good
looking and smart to be single, Mrs.
Gerschnesser ooyly admitted that 1t would
not be impossible to induce her TO choose
second husband. Goldstein said he would
secure a nice man for her. The lonely
widow had pretty good conception OF her
affinity, and after she had thoroughiy
he thought he had that afinity's counter
part handy.
Accordingly, Mrs. Gerschnesser was ar
rayed in her best when she went to Gold
STEMS restaurant on Monday night and
seated herself at a table In the rear OF the
place. Soon young man in gay suit OF
clothes, his fingers sparkling with dlamono
rings and his shirt front lit up by the rays OF
an enormous diamond horseshoe. walked
sprirh'lv in.
Goldstein met him and escorted him to
the table where Mrs. Gerschnesser sat:

When he met Mrs. Gerschneeser in the
restaurant last night Hecht was anxious
to get married right of, but first, the widow
his bride-to-be had for him by way OF
dowry. Mrs. Gerschnesser stated that
she had 500 in bank and $500 out on short
time note.
Immediately, His fiancee, however, sug-
gested that they get married, find out how
each suited the other and then II after six
months he qualified as first class husband,
she would hand over the entire $500.
This didn't appeal to Hecht. He wanted
be nothing doing in the way OF wedding
ceremony as far as he was concerned. The
widow held to her original proposition.
This is how she tells the story.
At this, Hecht became enraged, accused
bis betrothed OF making fool OF him. and
by way OF emphasizing his hurt pride, she
tearfully declared a little later, soaked his
beloved on the jaw. Then he drew re-
volver and threatened TO rid the world OF
one ambitious widow.
The woman screamed, and large crowd
OF easily excited East Siders swarmed into
the restaurant Policemen McCullom and
Buckley of the Eldrdge street station heard
the row and made their way into the place.
They found Hecht drawn up in a heroic
attitude with a pearl handled revolver in
his hand. He was taken to the station house
and locked up on a charge Of attempted
felonious assault. Mrs. Gerschnesser went

and Will Continue to Specialize.
The New York Alumni Association of
Rochester University had it's annual dinner
last night at the University Club About
ffty almuni were present. Willis Seaver
Paine, LII. D., rs, presided.
DR.. Rush Rhees, the president Of the
university said, among other things, that
the outlook for the university had never
been more hopeful from any point Of view
than to-day. The improvements in the
Sibley Library and the decorations Of An
derson Hall we're complete. Eastman Hall
was already built up to the grade line on
foundations as sturdy as any friend OF Roch-
estenoould wish for.
DR.. Rhees said that the college still pre-
served its friendly spirit toward scientific
training and would continue to specialize
in the sciences. 1t was time. he said, for the
people generally to realize that the old
depreciation of purely classical course
was met by such universities as Rochester,
which gave their men all the advantages
OF the academic atmosphere and at the
same time fitted them with a practical
means Of meeting the problems Of life.
DR.. Rhees announced that the secretary
OF the Alumni Association would soon
make known to graduates details OF plan
by which the alumni were hereafter to
elect every other one of the new board of
trustees OF the university until five had
been chosen.
william r. Wilcox, the new postmaster
of New York city, who was graduated
from Rochester In 1885, said that there
never would be day when his regard and
gratitude for the university could be ex.
tfnguished. He told stories Of his college
days.

WASHINGTON. Dec. I3.-The report OF
James r. Garfield, the Commissioner Of
Corporations, under whose direction the
Administration has conducted its inquiry
into the operation Of the so-called beef
trust. Is nearing completion and will soon be
ready for review by President Roosevelt.
Commissioner Garfield expects to present his
conclusions to the President the latter part
OF this month or early In the new year.
No investig alton ever conducted by the
Government has been kept from the public
with such jealous care as that affecting the
beef packers. The field agents started

diligently and without ostentation and to see
to II that the results reached only the eyes
OF their superior officers. They were
charged not to talk about the matter with
their friends. Mr.. Garfield has been mys-

evidence has been collected to justify the
Administration in institutng criminal pro-
ceedings.

WILD GEESE FLYING WELL.
Better Signs OF winter Sport on Cape Cod
Than Have Been Seen in Years.

SANDWICH, Mass, Dec. IA big flight
Of wild geese is expected within few days
by the gunners now occupying their camps
on the shores OF the big ponds between
here and Mashpee. Already the geese
have been flying across Cape Cod in large
numbers. Gunners have killed a larger
number than at this time last season. and
the general opinion is that there will be
more geese killed this season than ever
before.
Mashpee Pond Is the favorite goose shoot
ing resort for visiting gunners, and the
most improved camps and blinds are found
there. The gunners who frequent the
pond use live decoys in addition to wooden
ones, and some OF the live birds are so
perfectly trained that they obey almost
every wish Of their masters.
Besides the live decoys which the gun
ners throw into the air TO toll the wild birds
back to the beach In front Of the blinds,
they employ others which are kept pegged
on the beach at the waters edge honking
to attract focka going over.
At one OF the camps yesterday a flock
OF sixty birds came into the pond long
before the gunners were out OF their hunks.
As they had good rest before the weapons
could be loaded the geese started for the
South without waiting to. see what had
become Of ten Of their number, which were
knocked over by the first fire.
At one OF the camps on the shore OF Mash
pee Pond seventy-four geese have been
killed within q week. Nearly every bird
that came within shooting distance dropped
before the unerring aim Of the men in the
blind. At this camp last year ninety nine
geese were killed. The present season is
young, and the gunners believe that they
will double this number.
Mashpee Pond and Wakeby Lake have
been famous as goose shooting resorts for
years. The older inhabitants OF the Indian
settlement relate stories of hundreds Of
wild geese which were shot there fifty or
more years ago, and they believe that as
long as any OF the birds exist they will
follow their annual custom of crossin &
Cape Cod in a line from Cape Cod Bay to
Vineyard Sound and will make their rest
ing and feeding places at the ponds between
these two points.
