M,CoY CHALLENGES CoRBETT.
New Club in Delaware to OfEer Purse of
 S20,OOO.

New York, Dec. 10.-Kid Mccoy to- night sent a challenge to James J. corbett for a fight, the terms of which are to be arranged later it being un- derstood that new club in Delaware formed by Tom o'Rourke will offer a purse of $20,000. In his letter to Cor bett, Mccoy says he posted $5,000 with a local newspaper as a guarantee of good faith. To issue a formal chal- lenge for a prize fight is against the laws of New York state, so that the Mccoy letter does not deal with any of the details of the proposed contest, but simply seeks correspondence on the subject. Mccoy says he is induced to again enter the ring only because of the unsatisfactory termination of his former fight with Corbett, which he admits left a cloud on his record as a pugilist, and because he believes he is the better boxer of the two. He de- clares that under no consideration will he talk of match with any other man than Corbett.

RUSSIA FACE ID FACE
 WITH GENERAL STRIKE
SUDDEN CHANGE FOR THE WORSE As RESULT OF
 BLOODSHED.

First to Flow in Telegraph Strike and
 May Precipitate Final Struggle Be-
 tween the Government and the PrOle-
 tariat-PresIdent of the WOrEmen's
 Council Arrested Without Warning
 Papers of His Organization Seized.
 St. Petersburg, Saturday Evening Dec. 9.-Another crisis is at hand in- Volving the indefinite prolongation of the strike, the probable immediate pre- cipitation of a general strike through out Russia and possible final struggle between the government and the pro- letariat.
 This sudden change for the worse is the result of the shedding of the first blood in the telegraph strike this after noon almost simultaneously with the action of M. Durnove, minister of the interior, in throwing down the gauntlet to the labor organizations by arresting M. Krustaleff, president of the execu- llfE u L11S WOI Q (VAA4~ cil, without warning.
 About ? o'clock several companies of Cossacks clattered through the streets leading to the headquarters of the council in Targovia street. Having barred the approaches, force of troops and police surrounded the building, aft CT which secret service men rushed in and seized Krustaleff. The latter made no resistance and the affair was con- ducted quickly. It was impossible for Krustaleff to conceal the papers of the organization in which the police evil dently expect to find evidence proving the ultimate object to be an armed up- rising against the government.
 A disturbance in which two strike breakers were killed and a policeman and several others wounded occurred at the same hour In front of the general postoffice. The strikers for two days have been seeking to persuade the VOL unteer and regular carriers to refuse to work. At the door of the building to- day the strikers, enraged by the refusal of the volunteers to quit, drwew knives, w1ereupon a carrier attempted to de- fend himself with a revolver, Both the carrier and a companion were fatally stabbed and sank on the spot. A squad of policemen was stood off by the strik- CTS and workmen who sympathized with them. Both sides exchanged a fierce fusillade, during which a policeman and several Workmen were wounded.
 As the strikers were withdrawing a frnssanIr l1atrnl came Fallopins to the rescue. One of the strikers turned and threw an imitation bomb and the Cos sacks wheeled in order to avoid what they presumed to be a deadly missile. The crowd managed to get into an open coirtway close to the door and to es- cape.
 The news or the arrest of Krusalefi created an immense sensation among the workmen. All the socialist, labor and kindred organizations are holding a meeting tonight at which most in- f1ammatory speeches are being made in denunciation of the government and all are talking of 8 general strike ir order to save thfbeir leader.
 Besides Krustaleff, three other mem bers of the workmen's council were ar rested.
 A strike has begun on the following railroad lines: Kursk, Moscow, and Se- bastopol; Riga and Erloff; Khrakoff and Nicolaieff; Southwestern; Samara and Slatoust; Sizran and Viasemsk'

 Hook Bar-Had Bad Weather

New York, Dec. 10.-The new Cunard line turbine steamer Germania arrived off the bar at about S:15 o'clock this afternoon, but on account of the rough water and high winds did not attempt to enter the harbor. Tonight the ves- sel is lying off Sandy Hook and will not dock until between g and 10 o'clock to- morrow morning. The Carmania, which is the first of the Cunard fleet to be fit ted with turbine engines, sailed from Liverpool on her maiden voyage satur- day, December 2, touching at Queens town the following morning. She has been delayed by the heavy storms that have swept the north Atlantic the past week and her time of passage was ap- proximately seven days hours and 30 minutes from Daunt's Rock to the Sandy Hook lightship. This would be an average hourly speed of between f1f- teen and one-half and sixteen knots.

TWENTY -ONE ARE SAVED
 IN THE BREECHES BUOY
THRILLING RESCUES BY LIFE SAYING CREWS AT NOR
 FOLK, VA.

All the Crew of the Stranded Steamer
 AragOn Landed-A Battle Against
 Terrific Seas for Several Hours Final
 Iy Resulting fin the Shooting of Line
 Across the Vessels DecII-Barge
 Crew of Five Also Saved by the
 Brooches Buoy.
 Norfolk, Va, Dec. 1O.-To-day has ,been strenuous for the life-saving crews at the Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil and Nags Head stations. The first two battled against a terrific sea for sev- eral hours in an effort to reach the stranded steamship Aragon and finally succeeded in shooting a line across the vessels decks. After this the entire crew of twenty-one men were brought safely to shore in the brooches buoy. Reports tonight over the sea coast telegraph line of the government weather bureau service say the Aragon is high on the beach and in good con- dition, except for a broken rudder.
 The Aragon, which is one of the craft of the Atlantic Coast Lumber company of New York, was bound from Norfolk to Georgetown, $. C., light, and towing the barge Goddard, Captain William D. Todd, also light. In the storm the vessels encountered outside the 'Capes they became separated and the Aragon went ashore at 10 o'clock yesterday morning about one mile south of Kitty Hawk.
 The barge stranded two miles north of Nags Head at 1:3O in the afternoon. This afternoon the Nags Head life-sav- ing crew brought ashore her crew of five men in the brooches buoy. The barge is in good condition, but high on the beach.
 Communication with Hatteras has been restored and tonight efforts are being made to have wrecking steamers dispatched to the assistance of the Ara gon and the Goddard. The steamer Rescue, of the Merritt & Chapman com panys fleet, made an attempt to get down the coast, but was compelled to put back. The wind at Cape Henry to- night was blowing tfirty-eight miles an hour, with a heavy sea running and a light fog. ...-.=

STRONGER THAN EXPECTED.
Opinion of Opposition Papers on the
 New Cabinet.

6 London, Dec. 1.-The conservative morning papers are compelled to admit that Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman has succeeded in forming much stronger administration than had been thought possible. The liberal papers are full of enthusiasm and of cordial congratulations to the premier on hay ing not only ably united all sections of his party in the ministry but on having displayed great discrimination in giy- ing its individual members congenial posts. They express the conviction that such a cabinet will inspire confidence both at home and abroad. The names or Herbert Henry Asquith, Sir Edward Grey and Richard Burdon Haldane alone, it is held, will give great weight to the ministry and insure that there will be no revival of Gladstonian home rule, despite the fact that the cabinet contains a preponderance of those fav- orable to home rule.
 The conservative organs point out that the most enthusiastic home ruler, John Morley, has been sent to the h. dia office, where he will have little in- fluence on internal politics.
 The omission of Lord Rosebery is naturally the subject of much com ment and there is considerable curiosi- ty as to what attitude he will adopt when he addresses the Liberal league to-day.
 It is noticeable that his son-in-law, the Earl of CreWe, is in cabinet
 The rapid rise of John Burns from the workship to the cabinet with a sal ary of $10,00O year is a. unique feature, indicating the growing importance of the radical party, and he is being con- graduated on all sides on winning a well deserved honor. He will be tho first labor member of the house of com mons to have attained cabinet rank.

FOOTBALL RULE CHANGES
HARVARD MEN WILL NOT COM.
 MENT ON THOSE PROPOSED.

Dr. Nichols, Spokesman for the Crimson
 Athletic Authorities, Declares He Can
 Nuke No Statement at the Present
 Time--Dr. Phillips, of AndOver, Fa-
 yors Ten Yard Rule-Professor WiId's
 Opinion.
 Boston, Dec. 10,-Harvard football authorities, while interested in the pro- posed changes in football rules recom- mended by the rules committee at Phil adelphta yesterday refused to comment on the matter to-day. pr. E. H. Nich- oIs, spokesman for the Harvard ath- letic authorities, said tonight that he could Ert make any statement at the present time, inasmuch as the work ot the rules committee has not been com pleted and yesterdays action at Phila- deiphia was rot final.
 Two n.en prominent in New England intercollegiate athletics, Dr. Paul O Phillips, of Amherst, and Professor Henry Wild, of Williams, who repre- sent the faculty on the athletic boards of their. respective colleges, commented to-day on the proposed changes.
 Dr. Phillips favored the change re- quiring a gain of ten yards on three downs, and believed also that all off cials should be chosen in advance of the football season.
 Professor Wild said: hI''The rules as proposed would, to certain extent, i'm prove the game by causing more oper play and insuring a more strict system of umpires and referees. The rules however, providing that the side having the ball must gain ten yards on three downs or forfeit the ball to the other side, substituting ten yards for the present requirement. of five, would bt likely to result in an indecisive kicking game"
