CHAPTER XII.

They found the boat lying, as Ruff
fdge had said, on the beach in front of
the cottages, and moored to stout
peg driven in the shingle. Before Sam
had finished loosening the rope Dave
came running to join them, sringing
the 1aconic message from Mrs. Clay,
"All right"
Now, then, SIR" said Rufiidge. who
was evidently in hurry, Jump in and

The curate obeyed, and in another
moment the boat was cutting her way
through the tumbling waves
1t was pitch-black night ard a fine
drizzle was falling, but the wind had
dropped and the air felt warmer:
RufHdge steered and his nephews
rowed. while Mr.. Leife sat in the bows
and kept lookout.
"There's something over there" he
began.

Dave and Sam stopped rowing. and

SHERIFF'S PAPERS

TION FOR DIR. CHADWICK.

Sheriff Will Have to Furnish More
Proof That DIR. Chadwick Was IN
CuyahOga County ut the Time the
Alleged Forgery Was Committed.

Albany, N. Y. Dec. 26.-Sheriff
Barry Of Cleveland. O., who expects
to arrest DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick, hus~
band of Mrs. Chadwick, when he
lands in New York, on the charge of
forging the name of Andrew Carnegie,
met a check in his plans to-day when
he failed to obtain from Gov. Odell
the requisition papers necessary to
permit the transportation of Dr.
Chadwick to Ohio for trial. He called
at the executive chamber in the Cap
itol this morning, but was informed
by Judge John T. Joyce, the Gov
ernor's pardon and requisition clerk
that his papers were defective in that

wick was in the state of Ohio on

gerry was committed.
Previous to the call of the sheriff
Gov. Odell authorized Mr.. Joyce to
deliver the warrant for DR.. Chadwick S
extradition if the applicants papers
were properly drafted.
When the sheriff learned that his
proof was defective there was at first
some talk of his returning in person
to Ohio for the purpose of getting the
corrections. After further consulta-
ton with Judge Joyce he concluded
to telegraph to have the necessary
affidavits prepared and sent to him
in New York. He said that this was
a purely formal matter, and that affi-
davits could be promptly obtained,
showing that DR.. Chadwick was in
Ohio on or about March 5, 1903.
The Ohio sheriff left Immediately
afterward for New York, where he
will wait for DIR. Chadwicks steamer
which is expected Wednesday. He
will consult New York city authori-
ties regarding the best course of pro-
cedure.
Before leaving Sheriff Barry said
that while he was disappointed at
not obtaining the requisition warrant
at this time the failure would not de-
lay him to any appreeiable extent.

Its Liberal Promises.
The ukase makes decidedly liberal
promises under a number of heads.

bile enforcement of existing laws as

the enforcement of the laws now exist

tends the liberty of the press, and
promises a full legal trial of all per-
sons accused.
There seems to be no evidence of a
cessation of the agitation in different
parts of the country in favor of lib
eral reforms. The situation is most
acute in Moscow, where the university
is closed and the students. the peda-
gogic and other societies are in a con-
slant state of ferment.

of the victims of the rioting of Dec.

the professors of the university to

the latter obtained permission to make

Cleveland, o., Dec. 26.-Upon tele-

up an affidavit setting forth that tes-

before the grand jury tending to show
that DR.. Chadwick was in this county

alleged crime was committed.
Mr.. Keeler subsequently swore to
this affidavit before notary public,
after which 1t was at once forwarded
to Sheriff Barry at the Hoffman House
in New York.
Prosecutor Keller declared that all
the information, as to the date, etc.,

had been attached to the requisition

Halifax, n. s., Dec. ga portion
of the Acadia Powder Company's
works at Waverly, ten miles from this
city, blew up to-day and the conous-
sion shook the country and broke
windows for twenty miles around.
Fortunately no one was killed or Sc
riously injured, although about twen-
ty employees had just left the pow
der works, and when the explosion
took place were thrown violently to
the ground and stunned
The plant is situated a mile outside
OF Waverly, yet every window in the
town was broken and many people on
the streets were cut by the shower of
broken glass.
The property loss at the Acadia
works is estimated at $25,O0O
The explosion was in small house
known as the dry house. in which
about a ton of powder was stored, and
was believed to have been due to
overheating. About quarter of a
mile off was the house of Robert Lay
ton, the manager OF the plant, and
this was very badly damaged. All the
windows were blown out, while the
plaster In nearly every room was
shaken down.
Miss Margaret Layton, who was
sitting in a room on the second floor,
was hurled from her chair and rem
dered unconscious. Her condition is
not serious, however.
The fact that only about one-hifth
of the ordinary working force was
about the building to-day undoubtedly
prevented loss of life.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 26.-The little
Christian Church of Newborn, Dyer
county, Tennessee. is probably the
most prominent at the present time in
the eyes of the Christian Church
throughout Tennessee, as we'll as
in other states Chancellor Cooper
of the ninth chancery division will hear
the cause growing out of the installa-
ton of an organ and other features
of church work when the chancery
court convenes at Dyersburg two weeks
from now.
Almost one year ago a minority of
the congregation Of the Newborn
Christian Church filed at Dyersburg
a chancery bill against the elders and
a majority of the congregation alleging
that the defendants had departed from
the faith of the Christian church in
that they were participating in the
missionary societies and used an or
gan to aid in song and worship, and
they asked an injunction against the
defendants, restraining them from
using an organ or participating in mis-
sionary societies.
Subsequently the compliments filed
an amended and supplementary bill,
making the Tennessee Christian mis-
sionary convention a party defendant
With this precedent, if set, the nom
progressive Christians all over the
state, who are said to be a minority
of the entire connection, might take
steps to apply the decision to every
church where organs are used and mis-
sionary societies recognized.

Washington. Dec. 26.-Secretary Taft
to-day received a cable message from
Gov. Wright at Manila in response to
his inquiry in regard to the recent up
rising of the Pulajanes at Dolores,
Samar. Gov Wright's message is as
follows:
Manila, Dec. &c, 1904 Secretary of
War, Washington.
With reference to your telegram of
2lst instant. 1 regret to say that Gen.
Corbins report of attack on and loss
of detachment of scouts at Oras and
Dolores is correct Pulajanes have of
late left west and north sides of Sa-
mar and become active on east coast.
which is practically without harbor
and very difficult of access during
prevalence of existing monsoon.
Orders We're given some time since
to strengthen all detachments on the
east coast, but unfortunately this was
delayed by wreck and loss of coast
guard boat carrying a hundred or more
OF the constabulary. The men were
saved, but the delay in sending an
other coast guard boat to the rescue
resulted in leaving these small detach-
ments at Oras and Dolores isolated and
the consequent loss.
All east stations have been heavily
reinforced and we are still sending
men in by my direction. Gen. Allen
(chief Of constabulary) left here MA
nala) two weeks since to take personal
charge of affairs in Samar L am still
further reinforcing him with constabu-
larry and am consulting with Gen. Cor
bin, who, If necessary, will aid us with
troops.

government early this morning:
I'm the autumn of this year there
was a meeting in ST. Petersburg of sew
eral Zemstvos of the various govern
ments, who expressed a series of de-
sires concerning what were, in their
opinion, indispensable reforms of the
interior government of the empire.
These desires were made the subjects
of action by members of various other
assemblies, which met for the pur-
pose and also, Notwithstanding the pro-
visions OF law, were considered at the
deliberations of certain town councils
and Zemstvos. Thus, by the action of
people who endeavored to introduce
discord into public and state life, ex-
citement arose in the minds of certain
sections Of society, chiefly among i'm
questionable youths.
"In certain towns of the empire there
occurred a series of noisy meetings,
which demanded the presentation to the
government of certain demands which
were inadmissible I'm the face OF the
