STABBED TEN TIMES
Vet Connecticut Woman Is Alive and
May Recover.

Morristown, N. j., June 10.-Althougll
stabbed ten times by her husband,
Thursday, Mrs. Rosie Chiodo of New
Britain, Conn.,, is still alive in the hos
pital and the doctors say that she has
Il slight chance of recovery. The hus-
band, CCrmen Chiodo, has not been
captured and is thought to be making
his way to New Britain, his home,
where he is said to have a horse and
wagon and some other property. The
couples 16-year-old son is held here as
4 witness and also Carmine Catazoe,
30 years old. with whom the woman
lived since she left New Britain and
came to MOrristOwn, has also been
placed under arrest.
ChioGO is GO years old and his wife is
about 45. The son says that they lived
unhappy in their home in New Britain
and that his mother, finding that ii
would be expensive to secure a divorce,
determined to run away. She came to
Morristown, last week, and her hus-
band followed her. Sunday.
The boy was working in Bridgeport,
but hearing of the trouble between his
parents, came to Morristown, Thurs
day. to guard his >mother as he feared
that his father would do some act Of
violence. When Chiodo stabbed his
wife the son tried to protect his mother
and struggled with the man and his
efforts probably saved the woman from
being instantly killed. The boy escaped
injury.

CRIES IN COURT.
Ryan, Charged With chinaman's Muir.
der, Breaks Down.

Plymouth, Mass, June 10.-During
the cross-examination, today, of Cyrus
l.. Ryan. charged with murder of a
Chinaman, the prisoner broke down
and gave way to tears. Ryan was I'M
der cross-examination about two hours
and the ordeal was severe one He
adhered to his previous story that the
laundryman threatened him and that
during the struggle the Chinaman fell
dead. Ryan told of his act of placing
the body in the wash-tub. After two
or three witnesses had testified con-
corning the amounts of money seen in
Ryan's possession before the alleged
murder, the defence put on medical
experts to support its theory that the
Chinaman may have died of rupture of
the heart. DIR. Henry F. Borden Of
Brockton thought the death was not
caused by drowning. but was probably
due to heart trouble.
Other witnesses. this afternoon, were
DIR. Timothy Leary, professor at Tufts
College. DR.. w. G. Brown of Plymouth,
DIR. Horace Arnold of Boston, who stated
that it was their belief that the China
mans death was caused by n rupture of
the heart previous to his being put in the
wash tub.
Court then adjourned for the day.

If FORTRESS FALLS.
Arrangements for Departure Of Rus
sian Port Arthur Fleet.

st. Petersburg. June 10.-414 P. NJ
There is reason to believe that plans for
the departure of the Port Arthur squad
ron in the event that the fall of the
fortress becomes imminent have been
completed. They involve the co-opera-
ton of the VladivOstOk squadron. At
ter the blOckading fleet has been en-
gagged tile uninjured warships will eff
feet a juncture with the Vladivostok
squadron and make their way to Vladi-
vostok. The fact that the Corean straits
are mined and guarded by a japanese
torpedo boat fiOtilla which has been es-
tablished to the satisfaction of the ad-
miralty here greatly increases the diff
Guilty Of the operation here, but the
Russians probably will prefer to take
chances of getting through than to
make a 1000 mile journey around Japan.
The attempt may occur at the first
favorable opportunity. The squadron
is useless for the defence Of Port Ar
thur while if preserved entire or in ma
ior portion even, the fall of Port Arthur
would be robbed of much of its import
ance, from the standpoint of Russians
future plans.
The repairs to the Russian battleship
Pobieda are now practically completed.

HARVARD AND YALE.
Oarsmen of These Institutions Will
Have Contest, Today.

Harvard Crew Quarters, Gales Fer
ry, Conn.,, June 10.-All the Harvard
crews took lay off. Friday morning,
none of them putting their shells into
the water for the usual forenoon prac-
tice. 1t is understood that this rest was
by order of DIR. Jouett, who rather
thought the men were being given a
little too much work. The Varsity eight
has been over the four mile course
nearly every day since reaching Red
Top and on two occasions has rowed
over the course and then padded back
to quarters in one stretch. Besides this
hard work the men have all had eX-
anlinations and their minds as well
as their bodies have been kept at work
for n good part of the time.
The people at Red Top feel perfectly
satisfied that Yale went over the course
Thursday night. fully n minute faster
than the Harvard eight, but they do
not seem to be ut all discoura ged by
this fact. The Harvard crew was only
out for an easy paddle and they show
cd so much improvement that it is be-
lieved if they keep moving for another
fortnight they will be able to give the
Yale people n good race.
No fear of over training is felt at the
Harvard quarters.

SPANISH MINISTER'S OPINION.
Says Raisuii Will Not Surrender Cap.
tives Without Ransom.

Washington, June 10.-Senor Don
Emilio de Ojeda, the Spanish minister,
has discussed at length the capture OF
Ion Perdicaris and the Moroccan situa-
ton generally. The representative for
eight years of his government in Mo-
rocco, the minister is considered the
best Informed man in Washington on
conditions there. He is warm friend
of Perdicaris, of whom he speaks in the
highest terms.
Il feel very sure" said Senior Ojeda,
'that Raisuli will not surrender his
captives until his ransom has been paid
over to him and his terms agreed to.
He is a bold fellow. intelligent and
clever and yields a strong influence in
certain parts of Morocco. I cannot but
feel that had the offer of Spanish citi-
zens in Morocco. made to Mrs. Perdi-
carts Immediately after the capture of
her husband, been accepted and by
countrymen permitted to start imme-
diately in pursuit of Raisuli and his
brigands they would have intercepted
them before they had buried themselves
in the mountain Businesses with their
prisoners. When one calls to mind the
paramount SpslillSH interests III MOfOc-
co. no surprise will be felt that several
Spanish warships have been dispatched
to Tangier for the sole purpose of pro-
tecting these interests in the event of
trouble. I do not feel. however, that
things will get worse there. The care
full handling Of the situation by your
government and the use of diplomacy
I hope will result in the restoration of
Mr.. Perdicaris to his home without dis
turbing conditions in Morocco"

THE EARLY RELEASE
OF Perdicars and Marley May Be Ex-
pected, Say London Advices.

London, June 1.-THE Tangier cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says that
the release of Perdicaris and Varley
may be expected in few days.
Practically all of Raisuli's conditions
have been accepted by the Sultan and
the Shereef of Wazan. who is con-
Quoting the negotiations is satisfied
that Raisuli will receive the Sultan's
pardon.
Il understand that the bulk of the
ransom will be furnished by the de-
posed governor of Tangler, Adder
Sadok who leaves for Fee Immediately.
1t is feared that a tribe inimical to
Raisuli which holds the country be-
tween Tangier and Benairos may at
tempt to seize the money in transit.
1.-The United States is determined to
deter further acts of brigandage which
are likely to be encouraged as Il re-
suit of Raisuli's success and the re-
lease Of Perdicaris will see the begin
ming Of Il real crisis here"

PROSPECTS NOT FLATTERING.
No Hope that Russian Fleet Will Make
Baltic Demonstration.

st. Petersburg, June 10.-1 p. m.-
Remote as now appears the chance
that the japanese fleet will ever be in
a position to venture UP the Baltic and
made a demonstration against the Rus
sian capital or that a European power
will be drawn into the war, Russia
evidently is taking nothing for grant
ed. The possibility of the fall of Port
Arthur or disaster to the Baltic
squadron after the latter sails for the
far east have been considered and no
precaution will be omitted to protect
st. Petersburg against attack. The
Notifications of Riga lin the southern
part of the gulf of Riga) and Reval
Cat the entrance Of the Gulf of Fin
land) have been strengthened, some
new guns of the latest patterns having
been mounted in the fortress of CrOn-
stand and a chain of water batteries
running out on either side of the shores
Of the gulf of Finland, will guard the
entrance to the mouth of the Nava.
This system of Notifications was suf-
ficient to discourage the attack PLAN
ned by the British fleet during the
Crimean war. In addition, however,
shore batteries have been constructed
near Oranienbaum, Con the gulf OF
Cronstadt. Is miles from st. Peters,
burg), and Sestrorystatt Zone mile from
the gulf of Finland, on the Sestrory-
staff river and u miles from st.
Petersburg), probably as precaution
against landings, as it is believed the
forts are able to stop the advance Of
a hostile fleet.
The approaches to Cronstadt are also
being mined and merchant ships are be-
ing forbidden to enter the port without
a pilot to conduct them through the
mine fields. Owing to the extensive
work in progress at Cronstadt. the GEN.
trail basin, heretofore reserved for mer-
chantships, has been appropriated by
the navy. Rigid regulations are en-
forced against any one approaching
the Notifications. The Grand Duke
Vladimir Commander of the military
district of st. Petersburg), has just
completed an inspection of the shore
batteries.

by Carthusian Monks
To Present Bill Authorizing
Them to Stay in France.
Sensational Statement to Chamber of
Deputies by Premier-Speciai Com
mittee Appointed to Investigate the
Whole Matter.

Paris, June 10.-During an acriminOus
discussion in the Chamber of Deputies,
today, between Premier Combes and M.
Millerand, the Socialist ex-minister,
some one on the right shouted: "What
about the Carthusian millions?" allud-
ing to scandal that has been the sub
ject Of violent controversy in the press
and that was subjected to a judicial in
vestigation few months ago.
THAT is one of the most painful
recollections Of my life," replied the
premier. 81 sacrificed certain proof of
| infamy committed against me to high
political considerations
Immediately after the current ques-
ton had been concluded, a deputy
asked leave to interpellate on a subject
of the alleged bribary.
Premier Combes expressed satisfac-
ton at the opportunity to reveal Sc
cret which had weighed on him ana
then made the following statement:
''In December, 1902, the secretary of
the ministry of the interior Informed
me that he received visit from per-
son Offering two millions if 1 would
bring in bill authorizing the Cartnu-
sian monks to remain at Grande Char
treuse." CThe secretary of the minis
try of the interior was Edgar Combes,
the premier's SOM.
Il replied that the person had better
not enter my room unless he wanted to
go out the window, and attached no
further Importance to the incident I'M
til a few months later after bill re-
fusing an authorization to the Carthu-
SLAMS had been brought in. The news
papers accused the secretary of having
asked q million for me to make a
speech in favor of the Carthusians. An
investigation was made and the inter-
mediary, who was M. Lagrave, the
commissioner of France to the st.
Louis Exposition, was examined but he
refused to name the person for whom
he had acted.
1.-THE minister of commerce cabled to
NJ. Lagrave, ordering him to give the
name. He replied that he had commu-
nicated it to NJ. Millerand. his former
chief. NJ. Millerand sought me and
begged me not to divulge the name for
important political reasons. The matter
was then dropped"
A lively debate ensued. Several dep
uties demanded a full public investiga-
ton of the attempt to corrupt the pre-
mier. The Chamber finally decided al
most unanimously to appoint commits
