tempt to break the strike. The plant
is still in operation, and is producing
fair amount of goods.

new EVIDENCE.
Brought Forward in the
Famous Irvine
Talbot Case
A new PRESENTMENT

philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 2.--The pre-
sentiment against Bishop Ethelbert
Talbot charging him with crime"
and immortality" is to be withdrawn
and a new and more comprehensive
presentment is to he Immediately sub
stituted.
This course was determined or by
Herbert Noble. of New York, and his
assistant counsel for the prcsentmcnt,
after long conference in Philadsl-
phia at the hotel Bellevue-Sratford
Tonight's fast train for the west
carr' cd full explanation of the extra.
ordinary situation to Presiding Bish-
op Tuttle, at st. Louis. This docu-
ment, to the preparation cf which the
presentment lawyers devoted nine
hours. is in the custody of j. f. Rod
ericlI Jenkinson. of Philadelphia, jun,
ior counsel in the case for the pre-,
senters
Mr. Jenkinson will deliver the let
ter in person to Bishop Tuttle and in
the meantime every lawyer, presenter
and witness is pledged to absolute
secrecy as to its contents.
From an outside but authoritative
source it is learned that this letter
asks permission to withdraw the pre-
sentiment and to substitute a new one
and that it defends DR.. Irvine from
the charges of wilful completely in
any trick practiced upon the present
ers in Huntington, Pa, to secure their
signatures and submits evidence to
prove that Irvine was imposed upon.
But the most important feature of
this official letter now en- route for
the presiding bishop is an on
new evidence to be given against Bish-
op Talbot
This new evidence includes a letter
written by the bishop to New York
man who is prominent in church cir
cles. According to those in best posi-
tion to know the facts this letter is of
much greater importance and of more
serious import than the now famous
"Upjohn letter."
1t will be the foundation for new
charges which will over-shadow in
sensational interest those already
made.
Other new evidence, on which skill
ed detectives have been working for
weeks in Central Pennsylvania, will
also be submitted to the presiding
bishop IN the letter carried by Law
yer Jenkinson.
The conference which resulted in
this appeal for new presentment
was the most remarkable of its kind
ever held in Philadelphia.

PERILS OF THE SEA
SEVEN SURVIVORS RESCUED
FROM WRECK OF STEAMER
MARPESIA.

Hamilton, Bermuda, Jan. 2.-When
the Danish steamer Gallia reached
here this afternoon she carried sew
en- men who are all that remain of
crew of Is which sailed from New
York ON December 8 on the steamer
Marpesia which was bound for Cette.
France, with 475,00O gallons of
naphtha in barrels as a cargo.
When the Marpesia was more than
half over her course, after having
weathered in safety two hurricanes
and a severe snowstorm, an explosion
rent her from stem to stern and the
watch, which was on deck was thrown
into the sea. Captain Jensen and the
remainder of the crew shared the fate
of the vessel The seven men who
comprised the watch were picked up
by the Gallia which was about half
mile off at the time. When she reach
ed the scene of the disaster there was
no trace of the Marpesia and 1t is
thought the explosion was so violent
as to utterly destroy the vessel. The
vessel was Of iron, built at Glasgow in
1866. Her New York agents were
Benham & Boyesen and her cargo was
valued at $44G50.

THE BES|EGERS
OF PORT ARTHUR
SPECULATION AS TO DISPOSE.
TioN OF TROOPS.
Greater Part Of Victorious Army May
Be Sent to Reinforce Marshal
Oyama.

Toxic, Jan. 3.--An official announce
ment Is looked for momentarily deal
ing with the disposition of the victor
ious besleging army before Port Ar
thur. It's strength is variously stated
as between 10000 and 10000 men.
There is no doubt that only a COM
paratively small portion of this force
will be needed to perfect the occupa-
tion of Port Arthur and while quite
number of reservists may be return
ed to Japan, together with many reg
ulars whose condition makes a rest
imperative, there will still be a large
army, ft for immediate service, at the
disposal of the war Office.
According to one report this army
will be thrown into Korea. where
much had to be left undone owing to
the necessity of reinforcing General
Nogi's army month after month. An
other rumor has it that, the road via
Port Arthur being now open, these
troops will be sent north without de-
lay 10 SJIeHSlHeu flelu MdlSuul Wy"
mas position north of Lao Yang.
Quite a number of the regiments who
participated in the final assaults upon
Port Arthur had been withdrawn
from Oyama's army to hasten the end
of the siege and these are to be sent
back to their erstwhile posts.
Progress along the road in the direc-
tion of Mukden should be rapid, there
being but very few Russian positions
of moment which might obstruct the
advance of these reinforcements. The
Chinese villages and towns along the
road are pro-Japanese and the only
fear entertained refers to the possible
lack of railroad facilities.
1t is understood that several corps
of engineers will be sent out at the
earliest possible moment to investi-
gate the transport facilities and i'm
prove them speedily.
