Chicago, Dec. 27.-The energetic
work of Mayor Dunno in suppressing
the scalping of tickets to the Thanks

versities of Michigan and Chicago bore
such satisfactory fruit that he has
now entered upon campaign against
the scalpers who, he alleges, have
made practice of buying up theatel
tickets and selling them to the public
at an exorbitant advance. Ever since
the football game on Thanksgiving
day the mayor has been deluged with
requests that he suppress the scalpine
Of theater tickets and he called a
meeting of the theatrical managers OF
the city to devise a way to keep the
tickets out of the hands of the scalp

GIVEN HURRY ORDERS.
French Warships Will Hasten to Rus

sian Waters.
Paris, Dec. 27.-The orders to por-
ton of the French Northern squadron
to make hasty preparations to depart
for the North sea and Copenhagen,
the ultimate destination of the war
ships not being disclosed, were un-
doubtedly issued as a precautionary
move so as to have French ships avail
able for service in Russian waters in
case of emergency. The greatest activ-
fty prevails on board the gunboat Cas-
sini at Brest, which has been ordered
to san for the Baltic at once. The
Christmas leaves of all officers and
men were hurriedly cancelled and
large extra force of workmen was en-
gagged to complete her equipment; pro-
visioning and coaling. Her first stop
will be at Copenhagen, where further
orders are expected to reach her. The
armored cruiser Admiral Aube, also
at Brest, is being similarly prepared
and will either accompany or follow
the Cassini.
The report is in circulation in naval
circles at Brest that the Cassini will
carry on an official service between
Riga and Danzig. However, it is gen
orally accepted that the main purpose
is to have a warship in readiness
should crisis arise requiring the pro-
lection or repatriation of French citi-
xens.
The foreign Office says the Cassini
and Admiral Aube will stay at Copen-
n
sia the same as the two German ships
now at Memel and the British ship at
Kiel. If it becomes necessary the two
French ships will embark the French
residents at Baltic seaports.

The revolutionists hold the outskirts

WORST STORM IN YEARS
SCORE OF LIVES LOST AND MUCH
DAMAGE 70 SHIPPING ON
THE GREAT LAKES.

Duluth. Sept eighteen or twenty
lives were lost and property valued
at 100000 was destroyed In the furi-
ous storm that swept over Lake Supe-
rior. The gale was the most destruc-
tive to lake shipping that has been
experienced In many years. Besides
the wreck of the steamer Sevona,
which broke In two On Sand Island
reef, seven OF the crew losing their
lives, it Is now believed that two more
ships were lost with their entire
crews. One of these is the schooner
Pretoria Of Bay City, Mich, the larg-
est sailing ship on fresh water and
carrying crew Of ten men. The other
is believed to be the schooner Olive
jeanette, which carried crew OF
seven men.
Five of the Pretorias crew of ten
were drowned by the capsizing OF the
yawl In which the crew took refuge
when the boat began to founder. The
Olive jeanette. 1t Is believed, went to
the bottom about ten miles from
Portage.
The new steel steamer Stakhu ar.
rived at the 500 on her first trip with
her hatch covers 30 badly sprung that
water poured continually into the hold.
One OF the crew was washed over
board.
The whaleback steamer Samuel
Mather also lost one Of her crew
overheard. The terrific battering the
steel steamers received In the storm
gives rise to the gravest fears for the
safety OF many wooden ships which
have not yet reported.
The monetary loss Of the Sevona Is
placed at $4,000. while that OF the
Pretoria is estimated ct $l50.00O.
