TO ANNOUNCE NEW YEAR.
Greeting to Be Sent Around the World
From the Naval Observatory.

Arrangements are being made at the
naval observatory to flash a New Year
greeting around the world at midnight next
Saturday. The system which worked so
successfully at the beginning of the pres
ent year will be followed next Saturday. 1t
is estimated that the message will complete
the telegraphic circuit of the world in about
ten seconds time.
The message will not only travel the 25,-
600 miles of the earth's circumference in
that time, but the flash will be relayed at
each of the branch stations so as to reach
all lands almost simultaneously. For
about half the distance--12.090 miles-the
greeting will be carried by the telegraph
cables of this country.
to San Francisco, thence to Hawaii, Wake
Island, the Philippines. Hongkong, Singa-
pore, Madras, Bombay in India, Alden on
the Red Sea. Port Said, Gibraltar. Ply
mouth, England; Nova Scotia and back to
Washington. The birth of the New Year
will be indicated by means of an electric
light signal at the naval observatory at ex-
actly II o'clock next Saturday night. The
idea of sending the New Year time greet
ing originated with the authorities at the
observatory last year and was inspired by
the success of the midday time signal
which has been flashed to all parts of the
United States from this city every twenty
four hours for many years past.

Two Life-saving Crews to the Rescue


NEW YORK, December 26-The British
freight steamer Drumelzier which sailed
from New York yesterday for Hayre, Dun
kirk and Swansea, went ashore on shoal
off the point of Fire Island bar at o'clock
last night and had not been floated this
forenoon.
The crews of the Fire Island and
Oak Island lfe-saving stations went
to the assistance of the stranded
steamer as soon as her predicament
was discovered about daylight today
1t is presumed that in the thick snow storm
of last night any signals which the stranded
steamer may have displayed were not dis
stations.
When the life savers reached the steamer
shortly after daylight today they found
that she was lying well outside of the
breakers, and as only moderate sea was
running was lying easily without pounding
The wind, was fresh from the northeast
and the weather cloudy. The shoal on
which she stranded is half a mile directly
west of the point of Fire Island bar. The
steamer appears to be little lower at
the bow than at the stern
Soon after the life savers boarded the
steamer she displayed her private signals
from which her name was ascertained.
The Drumelzier arrived in New York
from Baltimore. December Is, and took on
board general cargo for Havre and
Swansea. She is commanded by Capt.
Nicholson. and carries crew Of about
thirty men.
The Drumelzier is of 1880 tons net $40
feet long, AT feet BEAM 1876 feet depth,
was built in Sunderland in 1895. and is
owned by the Astral Shipping Company Of
Liverpool.

MRS. cHADwIcK's CHRISTMAS.
Striking Contrast With That of One
Year Ago.

One Christmas in the Holland House in
New York, surrounded by friends and law
ishing gifts on her acquaintances; the next
in a prison cell, stunned by every one and
miserable This is the great contrast in
the life of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, once a
leader in society, now prisoner in Cleve-
land.
The spirit of Christmastide failed to reach
Mrs Chadwick's cell in Cleveland yester-
day further than that of the gift Of an old
household servant who brought her a din
rer. Even this servant took the precaution
to conceal her identity, considering it
disgrace that her own name and that of
Mrs Chadwick should be linked together.
II used to work for her. she explained
to the jailer, and She was good to me. If
you insist on my giving my name l will not
leave the basket"
The basket contained whole turkey and
the usual things that go with a Christmas
dinner. This was given to Mrs. Chadwick
and she shared it with her prisonmate, a
woman from the Tenderloin, who is waiting
trial.
Mrs. Chadwick refused to attend the Sun
day services which are conducted weekly
at the jail. Her son, Emil Hoover, did not
call at the Jail during the day and Mrs.
Chadwick spent the entire time in an upper
corridor. on which her her cell is situated
One year ago today Mrs. Chadwick occu-
pied an expensive suite of rooms at the Hol-
land House in New York She gave away
valuable presents, as was her custom, and
showered money on her servants.

SECRETARY TAFT AT HIS DESK.
He Has Been Devoting Attention Late
ly to Philippine Tariff Matters.

Secretary Taft was on duty at the War
Department today, as usual and, with the
assistance of Mr.. Carpenter, his private
secretary, managed to dispose of a large
accumulation of correspondence. Ordinarily
the Secretary has SO many visitors during
the day that he has little time to devote to
business. Consequently nearly all ques-
tons of special Importance have to be con-
sidered or disposed of after the usual work
ing hours. For several days past the Sec
retary has devoted his principal attention
TO Philippine tariff matters He has con-
suited many senators and representatives
on the subject, and expects to have it
ready for the consideration of Congress
when that body reassembles after the pres
ent recess. A tentative bill,Sembodying his
views. has been drafted and will be intro
duced at the first favorable opportunity. 1t
provides for substantial reduction of the
tariff on the principal products of the Phil
ippines, and is regarded at the War De-
partment as essential TO the business pros
perity of the islands.

by the wreck and loss of the coast guard

the delay in sending another coast guard
boat to the rescue resulted in leaving these
small detachments at Oras and Dolores isO-
lated and the consequent loss. All east
coast stations have been heavily reinforced
and we are still sending men in by my di-
rection. Gen. Allen (chief of constabulary)
left here (Manila) 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. Corbin,
who. if necessary, will aid us with troops.

Looking Out for the Plague.

The marine hospital service continues the
careful examination OF Chinatown in San
Francisco, to watch for developments OF
the plague, which once found splendid
ground there. Several thousand buildings
and people are examined weekly and the
large sewers are flushed with poIsons for
the distinctions of rats, which are known
to- carry the disease and to be the greatest
disseminators of the pest. Rats are caught
alive and carefully examined and those
showing infection are destroyed. 1t is
hoped that the Chinatown region has been
rid of the plague and that 1T will not ap-
pear there again.

PAPERS IN REGULAR FORM.
Surprise at Cleveland Over Action Of
Albany Officials.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 26.-
County Prosecutor II. R. Keeler when
shown the dispatch from Albany today,
stating that Sheriff Barry had been refused
an extradition warrant for DR.. Chadwick,
said THE papers which Sheriff Barry car
ried to Albany were in regular form, and
cannot understand why the warrant re-
quested has been refused 1t is probably
mere technicality, however, owing to the
difference in the laws of New York and
Ohio.
1.-The requistion, as issued by Gov. Her.
rick, explicitly states that DIR. Chadwick is
a fugitive from Justice in Ohio; that he has
county on the charge of forging and uttering
note for S5o90,000 signed Andrew Car
negie.' that the crime was committed in
Cuyahoga county, Ohio, on March B. 1903
and that the Indictment is sufficient in itself
for placing DIR. Chadwick on trial upon the
charges named.
Would Be Eventually Granted.
Mr.. Keeler expressed the belief that the
extradition warrant would be eventually
granted by the New York authorities.
Gov. Herrick, upon reading the Albany
dispatch. said:
II am very much surprised at the action
of the New York authorities in the matter
The requisition was issued only after a
most complete investigation of the affidavits
submitted by the officials OF Cuyahoga
county. i have no copy of the papers with
me here but my impression is that the date
of the alleged crime was duly set FORTH
Telegraph for Afidavit.
Upon telegraphic request from Sheriff
Barry at Albany today, Prosecutor Keller
drew up an affidavit setting forth that
testimony had been adduced. under OATH
before the grand jury tending to show that
DR.. Chadwick was in this county on March
5, 1903, upon which date the alleged crime
was committed. Mr.. Keller subsequently
swore to this affidavit before a notary pub
lie, after which it was at once forwarded
to Sheriff Barry at the Hoffman House In
New York.

Prosecutor Keeler declared that all the 81

There is much speculative talk about Gen.
Horace Porter leaving the embassy to
France and coming back to this country,
but this is based upon General PorterNs pos
sible desire to sever his diplomatic connec-
tions with the State Department. He has
not, however, Informed the administration
that this is his intention, and his long serv-
ice for the government make 1t certain that
no hint will be given him that his position
is desired for any one else. The administra-
ton, as matter of fact. would like to see
him stay in Paris and hopes he will do
so. If he does leave there, the talk is that
one-of several ambassadors to smaller coun-
tries will be promoted to the place. One
of these is George V. l.. Meyer, ambassador
to Rome.
Something Doing in Texas.
Representative Cooper of Texas was. with
the President for half an hour discussing
some matters in his state. Mr.. Cooper was
not elected a member of the next House.
He has been in Congress twelve years, but
in the last primaries he was defeated for
return to Congress The President con-
siders him valuable man in Congress. Mr..
Cooper said there was nothing of impor
tance in his talk.
The Christmas dinner of the presidential
family will be given at the usual dinner

surprise to Baltimore people by announcing
the appointment of w. Hall Harris, a law
yer of 216 ST. PauF street Baltimore, as
postmaster of that city to succeed Post
master Warfied, who has long wished to
retire. Mr.. Harris name has never been
mentioned in connection with the Balti-
more post office, and 1t was not known ex-
cept to a few that he was candidate. The
organization republicans had put forward
several candidates and it was supposed that
one of this number would be selected. Mr.
Harris name was laid before the President
by Charles Bonaparte in whom the Presi-
dent has the greatest confidence. Mr.. Bona
parte told the President that Mr.. Harris
would make excellent postmaster and
that he would be able to attend to the busi-
ness of the Office without being under obli-
cations to politicians of any class.
