IN NICK OF Time
CAPTAIN, WIFE AND CREW WERE
RESCUED FROM WRECKED
BARkENTINE.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 14.-The Clyde
Line steamer New York, which arriv-
ed this afternoon from Jacksonville
and Charleston, S. c., had on board the
shipwrecked crew and the captain 8
wife-nine all told-of the New York
barkentine Emita which was driven to
destruction on Diamond Shoal, off
Cape Hatteras last Saturday night.
The crew was rescued from a piece
Of wreckage upon which they had been
huddled for Is hours before the New
York hove in sight.
They were saved just in the nick of
time, as it is doubtful if they could
have held out many hoArs. They were
drenched to the skin, benumbed by the
cold and completely exhausted from
exposure and lack OF food
The Emita left Fernandina, Fla, De-
cember with cargo Of 950,000 feet
of lumber for Fall River. She was
built at Harrington, Maine, in 1883 and
was owned by Swan G. Son of New
York.

.OYAMA IS WISE
To Keep Comparatively
Quiet Till Port
Arthur Falls.
SAYS GERMAN GENERAL

Chicago, Dec 14-The Daily News
has the following from its Berlin cor
respondent: ...
Field Marshal Oyama is wise to re-
frain from resuming operations until
the fall of Port Arthur" said Major
General Nickel, the German strategist
VINO taught the Japanese the tactics
they are employing in Manchuria to
the Daily News correspondent today.
After the battle Of the Yalu. Va
fangow and Haicheng the mikados
generals cabled General Nickel that
Japan had to thank him for the COM
pleteness with which they had van
ouished the Russians. The destruc-
ton of the fleet at Port Arthur" con-
tinued the general, has accomplished
only half of the first great object of the
japanese war plans Only when the
fortress itself has been captured will
the whole object be realized.
"Oyamas army is merely shield
for Nogi's besieging operations. 1t Is
altogether unlikely that he will attack
Kuropatkin until the fall of the for
tress permits Nogi's troops to join the
field army. On the other hand, the
Russians have a very vital interest in
attacking Oyama before the fall of
Port Arthur in order to relieve the
garrison there. 1t is perfectly obvious
however, that Kuropatkin feels him
self too weak to take the offensive,
Notwithstanding his numerical superb
ority, which is not less than 100000.
Il see nothing to justify the hope
that the Russians are on the threshold
of military victories. They have lost
every engagement, even the last when
they assumed the aggressive. The Jap
anese will not permit winter to hinder
them from renewing the offensive
when they think the proper time has
come. The Russians know the Jap
anese are sturdy race, for whom the
rigors of Manchurian cold have little
terror"

MAN TAKEN WHO THREATENED
COL. GREENE, THE ANTAG-

New York, Dec. Thames w.

William c. Greene, president of

with assassination on April 8 last and
who was arrested before he had exc

Greene. Ten days ago, it is said, Good
man wanted money to go west and

promised the money.
On Tuesday night Goodman was
heard to say that Thomas w. Lawson
of Boston had sent for him to come to
Boston and he boasted of having lot
of Lawson money and threatened to
shoot Col. Greene on sight. The knowl-
edge of Goodman's language came to
Judge Foster who had imposed and
subsequently suspended sentence, and
he decided to order Goodman's arrest.

threats against Colonel Greene and de-
clared that the reason he had remain
ed in this city since his release was
that he had instituted several civil
suits against Col Greene. Notwith-

WILL SEND WARSHIPS
Washington Governments Serves
Notice on China.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10. =
China has been informed that the
Washington government claims the
right to send warships not only to the
Chinese treaty ports declared by treaty
to be open to the world, but to the in
land waters of China, wherever
Americans may be and where by treaty
with China they are authorized to en-
gage in business or 10 reside for the
purpose of spreading the gospel"
This is brought out in the CORE
spondence, made public today by the
state department, between Mr.. COnger,
the American minister at Picking, and
Rear Admiral Evans late commander
in-chief of the Asiatic station, which
followed a protest of the Chinese gov
eminent against the visit of the gun
boat VillalobOS last summer in the
Yang Use valley, whittier she was or
dered by the COMMUNICATIVE chief of
the Asiatic fleet to gather such in
formation about the Americans resid-
ing there as would be of assistance in
rendering them prompt assistance in
case of an expected native outbreak
against foreigners.

When light shall spread and man be
liker man
Through all the season of the golden
year.
Let us remember that we are met to
celebrate the transfer of a vast empire
from one nation to another without the
firing of a Shot, without the shedding
OF one drop of blood. If the press of
the world would adopt and persist in
the high resolve that war should be no
more, the clangor of arms would cease
from the rising Of the sun to its going
down, and we could fancy that at last
our ears, no longer stunned by the
din of armies, might hear the morning
stars singing together and all the sons
Of God shouting for joy"

Monprofit, of LIE Figaro, Paris. Sir
Hugh Gilstean- Reid, London, president
Of the Worlds Press congress, was in
trOduced as permanent presiding of
ficer. He was greeted with prolonged
applause and spoke briefly Adjourn
ment was then taken until tomorrow.
