WASP BUFFETED
 BY A HURRICANE
The Strenuous Experience of a Little
 Gunboat.
aNFFETl =

Newport, R. l., Dec. 12.-The little gunboat Wasp, formerly the yacht Co., lumbia, came into port this afternoon under one boiler and several sails af- ter terrific battle with a North At lantic hurricane during which she sprung leak and was kept afloat af- ter her pumps choked, through hand bailing by her entire crew. The lit- tie vessel was blown nearly to the gulf stream by Sundays storm and was nearly two days in getting back to port. At one time the water which came in through the leak in the stern, flooded her engine and for ten hours on Sunday she was at the mercy of the waves. The crew of sixty men, a third of whom are naval apprentices and un- used to such boisterouS conditions, baled for hours with buckets and suc- ceeded in freeing the engine room. Hospital Steward White sustained a broken rib, but refused to give up his place in the baling line.
 The success of Chief Boatswain Hugh Sweeney, commander of the Wasp in bringing his vessel through the hurricane under such trying cir .cumstances, received the commenda- tion of the officers of the naval train ing station here, to which the Wasp is attached. The Wasp left at 1 o'clock the brig Harry Smith, which was thought to be in a dangerous position at the entrance of Vineyard sound.

FAR OFF ARGENTINA'S
 HEAVY WHEAT CROP
Causes a Falling Off in the Chicago
 Market.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-The sentiment in the wheat pit today was bearish. The factor chiefly responsible for this feel ing was a cablegram from Argentine, which stated that the damage to crops in that country by rain had been slight and that about forty per cent of the crop had already been harvested. The fact that prices for wheat at Liverpool were lower substantiated in the minds of local traders the accuracy of the advices from Argentina. A decreased demand for cash wheat at the Drinci- pal grain centers in this country was another weakening influence during the first half of the session. The mar ket closed fairly steady. May opened a shade to 1s and A lower at S9@S9b. sold off to S3ss6S3ik and closed at SS7s, A and 3s lower.
 Prospects of a liberal increase in the movement of corn weakened to- days market There was liquidating by a number of prominent longs and much selling by commission houses. May closed A and B lower at 44A A@443s. The oats market had a weak undertone but buying by several bulls checked the decline. May closed steady, 1@1A lower at 32%.
 Provisions were weak because of free selling of pork and lard. At the close May pork was off 21a; lard was down 21s and ribs were a shade higher.

REPUBLICANS DIVIDED
 IN BOSTON ELECTION
Still the old Time Democratic Major
 ity Was Reduced.

Boston, Dec. 12-The democrats were victorious in Boston today, electing former Congressman John r. Fitzger- aid mayor over three other candidates Fitzgerald's plurality over his nearest competitor, Louis A. Frothingham, re- publican speaker of the Massachusetts house of representatives, was S,330.
 The vote for mayor follows: John F. Fitzgerald, democratic, 44,316; Louis A. Buckingham, republican, 56936; Henry s. Dewey, independent republi- can. 11,637; James A Watson, citizens and independent democrat, 515.
 The vote today was unusually heavy for a city election, more than 92,0O0 votes being cast out of total regis tration of 114,000. Two years ago Pat rick A. Collins, a democrat, was re- elected by plurality of more than 30,- 000 In the recent state election the democratic gubernatorial candidate carried the city by a plurality of ap- proximately 16,O00. It was evident to- night that Fitzgerald did not receive his full party vote, several strong democratic districts giving Frothing- him a plurality because of factional differences.
 To complicate the situation there were two republican candidates in the field. Frothingham was the regular party nominee, having defeated Henry s. Dewey in the primaries by a margin of about 200 votes. Dewey asserted that fraud had been practiced at the polls, and declared himself as an in dependent candidate.

FAN INVESTIGATION
 OF CHICAGO ROADS
The Matter of Heavy Shipping is also
 Involved.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-An exhaustive in- vestigation into some of the railroad companies entering Chicago has been decided upon by the local federal of ficers. Subpoenaes have been issued for large number of railroad men and heads of large industrial concerns, which have heavy yearly shipment, to appear before the federal grand jury, which has been summoned for Dec. i9. District Attorney Morrison is said to have received his instructions from Attorney General Moody. Evidence secured at various sessions of the in . terstate commerce commission has giv- en rise to the investigation.
 The matter came to a climax today when special Attorney J. T. Marchand for the interstate commerce commis- sion, called at the office of District Attorney Morrison and 1t is declared, delivered evidence into his possession which resulted in the issuance of the subpoenaes.

The bill was amended further to pro- vide that in the future no expenditures shall be made for the canal except by the authority of congress and when appropriations have been made by con- gress. Secretary Taft of the wal de- partment Theodore P. Shonts, chair man of the commission, including the purchasing agent and the assistant purchasing agent, were before the committee and were subjected to point ed inquiries as to the manner of mak- ing expenditures.
 Mr. Taft and MT. Shonts urged that the appropriation be increased to $16,- 1000, the amount named in the bill before, 1t was amended in the house. They admitted, however, that $1l,0j0,- 900 would be sufficient to carry on the work until April. In view of the fact that congress will have plenty of op- portunity to legislate by that time it was determined not to restore the $5,- 500, 900, cut out by the house.
 In the course of today's hearing Sec retary Taft announced that he was willing to accept the amount as ap- p-opriated by the house, $11, 900, and said that would be sufficient to carry
 on the work until April 1, but that another appropriation would then be i necessary for the remainder of the year.

JAP FORGE
 AND FRAUD
The Ruin of the Hermit
 Kingdom
An Appeal Came to This Country for a Redress of its Wrongs at a Late Hour. %

Washington, Dec. 12.-Homer E. Hurlburt, the special messenger from the emperor of Korea, is in receipt or cablegram from Korea. in which the emperor declares that the agreement between Korea and Japan is null and void because it was obtained by force. He also declares that he never will sign this agreement in its present form and that the disturbances which att tended the outrage of Nov. IT, are likely to occur again.
 Concerning the cablegram from the emperor of Korea MT. Hurlburt said: This is the first genuine word that has been received from Korea giving the real attitude of that government toward the treacherous act of the Jap anese. For several weeks the emperor has been practically in confinement and Japan gave out the false statement that an amicable agreement had been made. This is now proven to be un- true. The agreement was made under duress and at the point of the sword. but the emperor has at last succeeded in piercing the cordon of Japan and getting information to the outer world
 "As long as my mission to America is no longer secret I may add thas NhS SQCa act of bad faith on the part of Japan had tried through me to forestau It by lodging an appeal with President Roosevelt. The object of my coming was surmised and the coup in Seoul was hastened so that it occurred on the very day of my arrival in Wash ington. The emperor felt certain that if President Roosevelt could be made aware of his sentiments the American government would not hesitate to ask few questions before accepting Ja- pans statements alone.
 "The authorities in Washington were almost immediately notified that the petition was here. but no arrangements were made for its return until Japan's statement was accepted and acted up on. The object of this cablegram is ts disayow any acquiecsence in the sO- called agreement and incidentally tO
 call attention to the. clause of the treaty between. Korea and America in
 which the United States definitely
 promised to use its good offices In case Korea is oppressed or wrOnged.
 The United States was in full treaty relations with Korea up to the time l when upon the representations of Ja-
 pan alone and apparently without con-
 sulting Korea, this government took the lead in cutting off direct diplomatic relations with Korea"

New York, Dec. 12.-The Herald to- morrow will say:
 George w. Perkins tomorrow will hand in his resignation both as vice president of the New York Life Insur- ance company and as chairman of the finance committee of that corporation. The report so long current in finan- cial circles that Perkins would sever his official connection with the New York Life was confirmed last night in official quarters. It is not likely that Perkins will resign as director of the company at this time.
