KOREAN ENVOY MAY SUICIDE.

His Brother Did and 1t Is the Custom
 to Follow Suit.
 New York, Dec. 6.-Coming to the United States to lodge a formal protest with the United States government against the establishment#of the Jap anese protectorate over Korea, Min Yueng-Tchan, late Korean minister to France, was informed upon his arrival to-day of the tragic death of his broth CT, Min Yong Whan. The brother, who was formerly Korean minister to the United States, took his own life at Seoul, Korea, several days ago, pro- test against the Japanese protectorate. Min Yueng-Cchan was altogether un- prepared for the sad news which awaited him, and he was almost pros- trated when informed of his brothers death. In Korea, when a man takes his own life it ies the custom for his brother also to commit suicide. Mr. Min said, however that he could not prophecy his future action.
 q know 1t is not the custom in this country to do such a thing" he said. T do not know what I shall do. I can not say.'

MRS. ROGERS CASE.
Attorneys Have Not Given Up Hope of
 Obtaining Reprieve.

Rutland, Vt., Dec. 6.-Attorneys dor Mrs. Mary Rogers, whose execution is fixed for Friday next, have not given up hope of obtaining another reprieve from Governor Charles J. Bell, who is now on his way home from Chicago. After an extended conference of law yers here tonight the governors secre- tary was called on the telephone and it was learned that the governor would probably reach Montpelier early Friday morning. While the nature of the at- torney's plan for postponement of the execution could not be learned tonight, it was nevertheless ascertained that several papers had been prepared for the governors examination.
 Governor Bell left Chicago to-day, but stopped at Frankfort, Ind, for few hours. Preparations were made by one of Mrs. Rogers attorneys to go north tomorrow for the purpose of intercept ing the governor and presenting to him the papers prepared this evening.

MEDFORD MAN CALLED.
First UniversaIist Church Asks Rev Theodore Fischer to Become Pastor.

First Universalist Church Asks Rev
 Theodore Fischer to Become Pastor.
 At meeting of the parish of the First Universalist church held last eve- ming for the purpose of considering the call of a pastor to succeed Rev. Will liam F. Dickerman, recently resigned, it was voted to extend a call to Rev. Theodore A. Fischer, of Medford, Mass. Rev. MT. Fischer is a native of Meriden and he is strongly recommended to the church. The call is made without can- didacy on Rev. MT. Fischer's part, and the church awaits his action on the call.
 Rev. Mir. Dickerman has been pastor of the First Universalist church for eleven years past, having the longest pastorate on the records of the church. His resignation has been handed in that he may accept the position of state superintendent of the Universalist so- ciety, which has been offered him. The resignation takes effect January 1 next, and it is hoped that a new pastor may be secured to take charge at that time.

NATIONALIST CONVENTION
Uncompromising Attitude on Home Rule
 No Faith in Liberals.


 Dublin, Dec. 6.-The nationalist con- vention, so far as to-day's proceedings are concerned, resolved itself into an unconapromising home rule meeting. Resolutions were passed denouncing the government of Ireland, outlawing Will liam O'Brien and his supporters unless they signed the party pledges, express ing disbelief in the promises of the lib- erals, and pledging absolute support to John Redmond as leader of the Irish parliamentary party. The moderates were howled down and their speakers forced to leave the platform.
 The convention will continue to-mer- row, but there is no evidence that the incoming liberal government can expect more support from the nationalists in the next parliament than the unionists have received, unless Sir Henry Camp bell plumps for home rule. The declarations of the leaders and the resolutions passed at to-day's session mean continued opposition to the gov- ernment until absolute home rule has been granted to Ireland.

STATE AND CHURCH sEP4RArED.
French Senate Passes Measure and it ts 5 Now a Law.

Paris, Dec. 6.--The senate to-day, af- ter a long debate, adopted the bill for the separation of church and state by vote of 1S1 against 102. The vote was announced amid enthusiastic scenes and cries of Long live the-r republic" and Long live lfberty!''
 : Former Premier Combes participa- ted in the debate, contending that the measure assured neutrality of religion moral liberation and social paciflcation.
 This is the final parliamentary stage of the bill which will be promulgated in the Official Journal tomorrow, when it will become immediately effective. The council of state will devote three months to the framing of the adninis- trative details of the new regime
 The action of the Vatican regarding the law has not been yet definitely an- nounced. The French clergy, while op- posed to the measure, appear to be disposed to conform to the new system.
 The public worship budget of 1906 will be reduced from $S,4o0,OO to nearly $6, ,S00,0 900 conseuent on the gradual di- intuition of the salaries paid by the state to the clergy.
 The fundamental rincipIes Of the bill ensure entire liberty of conscience re- specting religion, with restrictions con- cerning the exercise of religion which are intended to preserve public order.
 In the future the state will be en- tirely free from connection with all re- ligious sects.

PATRICK ONCE MORE
 SENTENCED ID DEATH
TO DIE IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR DURING THE WEEK OF
 JANUARY 22.

Notice of Appeal to the United States
 Supreme Court ImmediateIy Given
 May Acr as Further Stay of Exccu-
 tiOn-COndemned Lawyer Makes Per-
 sOna1 Plea to the Court in His Own
 BehaIf-Returned to Death House at
 Sing Sing.
 New York, Dec. 6.-After making a final personal plea to the court in his own behalf, Albert T. Patrick, the law yer, convicted of the murder of William Marsh Rice, tonight was sentenced to die in the electric chair during the week beginning January 22 next. Sentence was pronounced by Justice Rogers in the criminal branch of the state su- preme court. Notice was at once given that an appeal to the supreme court of the United States on a writ of error will be taken. The application for the writ, it is said, will act as a stay of execution. Patrick was returned to the death house at Sing Sing prison to- night.
 The passing of sentence upon the lawyer whose case has been one of the most noted in criminal annals, fol- lowed a series of arguments by his counsel who at first contended that the supreme court did not have jurisdic- ton to set new date for the execu tion, the last stay in the case having been granted by the court of appeals and later appealed that sentence be de- ferred at least until the appeal to ths higher court could be perfected. District Attorney William Travers Jerome op- posed all the contentious of the de- fandant's counsel and moved for imme- diate action.
 Patrick listened twice this afternoon to a rehearsal of all the details of his case by the district attorney. Once dur ing the proceedings he had been asked by Justice Rogers if he had anything to say before sentence should be pass ed upon him, and had remained silent under the direction of his lawyers. As the case neared a close Patrick arose unexpectedly in his place and pleaded to be heard.
 His action caused a stir in the crowd ed court room, and the lawyers held a hurried consultation while Patrick stood pale and anxious awaiting the courts permission to proceed. This per mission finally was granted and Patrick spoke for nearly fifteen minutes. His voice, at first bit husky, grew clear CT as he proceeded, and all in court listened attentively.
 When Patrick had been allowed to proceed in his own behalf he urged that there was no direct evidence that Rice had been killed and reiterated his claim that he had been convicted OF manufactured evidence. Justice Rogers then ordered Patrick to stand up and sentence was pronounced.
 The crush to secure admittance to Justice Rogers branch of the criminal division was so great that police re- 1 serves from several stations were sum- moned to preserve order in the corri- dors of the court building.

 Philadelphia, Dec. 6.-George F. Baer, president of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad company and of the Central Railroad Company of New Jer- sey, announced tonight that those roads would issue, to take effect on January l, an anti-pass order similar to the one made public yesterday by the Pennsylvania Railroad company. He further stated that he would, as a director of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company, use his influence with the of fcials of that road to follow similar course.
 T intend that the order shall be car- ried out to the very letter." said Presi- 1SA1L LctSA tO~IAiAlks IANGi 14l1SG l NG been connected with railroads have been opposed to the promiscuuous giv- ing of passes. The courtesy has been shamefully abused ever since it has been in vogue, and now is the time to stop 1t. The Pennsylvania railroad started the reform and am glad to have the opportunity to follow. I urged this action several years ago, but none pf the other companies seemed willing to join in the movement. In issuing the order there will be no distinction, and every person not identified with the Reading or Jersey Central will be cut off at the end of this year"
 AS the Pennsylvania is interested in the Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, and the Norfolk and Vest ern railroads, these lines are also ex- pected to issue anti-pass orders. The Pennsylvania order, it. was learned to- night, will also apply to all Pennsylva- mia lines west of Pittsburg.

 FIeet-BostOn Indignant
 Boston, Dec. 6.-Acting Mayor Daniel A. Whelton issued call this afternoon for public meeting of citizens to protest against the suggestion con- tained in the annual report of the sec- retary of the navy as to the historic frigate Constitution, which is now tied up at the Charlestown navy yard. In his report, which was given publicity yesterday, Secretary of the Navy Bona. parte, suggested that so much of the materials of the present Constitution as can be shown to belong to the original Constitution be transferred to a new vessel to be named the Constitution, and that the remainder of the ship be broken up. The secretary further stat ed that if for purely sentimental req sons 1t be thought that the ship is en- titled to a maritime end, 1t might be used as a target for some of the ships of the north Atlantic fleet and sunk by their fire. The secretarys suggestions have been met by protests from many citizens of Boston. Acting Mayor Whel- ton believes the matter of sufficient consequence to justify the holding of a public meeting. He has designated next Saturday evening as the time and Faneuil hall as the place of this gath ering.
 Acting Mayor Welton sent the fol- lowing letter tonight to about twenty prominent citizens of Boston and vicin- ity:
 Dear sir: You are invited to at- tend and address public meeting of citizens to be held in Faneuil hall on Saturday evening, December 9. at 8 o'clock to protest against the carrying into effect of the suggestion of the sec- retary of the navy to make target of the frigate Constitution and thus de- stroy her at sea.
 Fl believe that such an act by the United States government would be an outrage upon the patriotic sentiment of the people of Boston, who treasure the glorious memories of her prowess in the great struggle for the honor and dignity of thefnation, nearly a century ago." . >
 Among those to whom this letter was sent were Governor William l.. Doug las, Lieutenant Governor, Curtis Guild, jr, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United States supreme court, Pres ident Charles ". Eliot of Harvard uni- vcrsity, Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Bishop William Lawrence of Massachusetts. and all the Massachu. setts senators and representatives in congress-.
 Mayor Whelton said tonight that the meeting was for all citizens, who by their presence would protest "against the monstrous suggestion of the secre- tary of the navy

 New York, Dec. Civilian E. Corey, president of the United States Steel corporation, made a statement to-day with reference to a report that he and Mrs. Corey had separated and that he intended to marry Mabelle Gilman, the actress, after his wife obtained a die vorce. MT. Corey said:
 "The subject matter of recent publi- cations, personal to myself and some others, is of such painful character that I have hesitated to say anything in regard to it, and have perhaps been unjust to myself and to the press in declining to admit the whole truth when uestioned. However, in view of what has been published I have deci- 
 ded to make a statement which covers the situation. do this more to protect the good name of others than my own.
 Mrs. Corey and I have had disa- greements. Our differences are ire concilable. I have been informed and believe she is residing in Nevada. She may have contemplated divorce, and if she applies for one shall not op- pose it if it is legally obtained and does not involve me in any moral turpitude. Whether she does or not am in duty bound to provide her comfortable support, and shall do so. have been for a long time we'll acuainted with a lady whose name has been prominent ly linked with mine, but there has never been any conduct between us of which either of Us need be ashamed. Any suggestion to the contrary would be a great injustice"

French Papers Stirred Over Passages in
 Presidents Message.


 Paris. Dec. 6.-The Temps in a lead ing article this evening discussing Pres ident Roosevelt's message to congress says:
 "The Monroe doctrine is given extra ordinary proportions. It is no longer confined to forbidding Europe to con- quer or annex South American territory but is also extended against the simple seizure of custom houses which is the sole means of effective reprisal against delinquent South American republics. President Roosevelt did not present this objection three years ago against the triple action of Germany, Great Britain and Italy against Venezuela. Why has he chosen the moment when France may be obliged to adopt meas ures of the same kind against Venezue- la?" The Journal des Debats also com ments on the extension of the Monroe doctrine.

SENSATIONAL CONFESSION
ML RDER OF OLD MAN LOCK-
 WOOD NEAR WATERBURY.

Young Leonard Turns States Witness
 and Recites Details of Crime on stand
 Plot Matched in Brooklyn Dive
 Waterbury Woman Party to It.
 Expected Great PIunder and Got Only
 a Watch.
 Waterbury, Dec. 6.-one of the most sensational confessions of plot to murder and rob ever told on witness stand in this state was that today of Edward Leonard, who, with Charles Bassett and Joseph Cenesky, are held on the charge of murdering aged Thomas C, Lockwood, who was sup posed to have had thousands of dol- lars in trunk in his home on the Woodbury road in the outskirts of the city. Leonari's turning states evil dence was no surprise. as 1t was inti- mated that he would do so, but the facts of the bold plot, told in every de- tail by the indicted man, caused a shock among the persons in the crowd ed court room. Leonard said that the plot to rob old Lockwood was matched in Brooklyn, N. Y, dive at 146 Law renee street, ard that Waterbury woman named Lena Page was among those who were in the scheme to rid Lockwood of his supposed fortune. He told of how the men were first in- formed of Lockwood's wealth by Fred Preston, who claimed that he often had been to Lockwood's house, and that he had seen the great piles of yellow backs" It took a month to complete the details so that the job" could be done with safety. They were to go to the Lockwood farm on the pre- text of being a committee to secure names of citizens who favored the building of a trolley line over the road. Bassett, the witness said, first went to the Lockwood house and easily gained admission by showing bogus list of signatures, and as Lockwood was sign- ing his name to the list the witness said that Bassett dealt him @ terrific blow over the head with his pistol. Lockwood fought his assailant, but in few minutes was beaten almost to unconsciousness. When he lay help less on the floor he was covered over with blanket and then the three men searched the house. Leonard said that all the men got was cheap watch.
 There was nothing apparently in the dastardly plot from the time 1t was conceived until the men left Lock woods place that Leonard did not tell on the witness stand, and the full con- fession created a sensation.
 The witness story was not shaken by the cross-examination which took up the half of the afternoon. Tomorrow Coneeky. Leonards companion in crime, will take the stand. and it is thought will tell much the same story as to-day's witness hold.
 Bassett is expected to go on the stand late in the trial when some ex- ceptionally interesting statements are expected to be made.
