FIRE ON RIOTOUS MOB.
Warshlps AnxiousIy Awaited to Insure
 and Restore Order.

Georgetown, Demarara, December LA strike of wharf laborers which is in pro- gress here assumed a very serious as- pect this morning when the police were compelled to gre on riotous mob. 1t Is reported that five of the rioters were killed.
 Later In the day the rioters attacked the governors house.
 The governor and other officers are now being besieged in the public buildings. The arrival of warships is anxiously awaited. The strike. which is the result of demand for higher wages, began Tuesday last and since then the strikers have been parading the streets. Some acts of violence were committed yester- day but they were not serious. However. they resulted in the reading of the riot act and the issuing of a proclamation by the governor closing all retaillshops from o'clock in the evening until o'clock in the morning until further notice.
 The governor called on all peaceably dis posed citizens not to join the gatherings in the streets. He announced that he in- tended to forcibly suppress all riotous pro- ceedings. As the result of today's trouble all business has been suspended.

Chicago, December Ut is believed that the steel steamer Ira H. Owen carrying a crew of nineteen men, which was last seen on Tuesday about forty miles off Outre Island, while the storm was at it's height on Lake Superior. has gone to the bottom, and that her crew have perished.
 When sighted last Tuesday off Outre Is- land of the Apostle group by the steamer Fl. B. Nye, the owen was blowing dis tress signals and seemed in a bad way. The Nye had all she could do to keep afioat herself, and could not respond to the signals Immediately afterwards Il blinding snow storm set in. shutting the disabled boat out from view. When a lull came two hours afterwards, the vessel had disappeared

SOCIALISTS CAUSE
 TROUBLE IN LONDON
ATTEMPT TO MAKE DEMoNSTRA- TON IN GUILD HALL AND ARE DISPERSED BY THREE HUNDRED POLICE.

London, December h--An attempt on the part of the socialist element of unem- ployed men to hold a demonstration in the Guild hall today was met by police, resulting in disturbance and the arrest of five of the agitators. A meeting of the central committee called to consider the question of the allocation of the fund for the unemployed was in progress in the Guild hall at the time, and the demon- stration of the socialists was intended to impress the committeeman.
 One of the leaders was railing against the fact that the unemployed were com peled to accept charity and had proposed that the workmen march to the West End when he was handed an official commiini- cation commanding him to desist. The crowd then became unruly and was dis persed by 300 policemen, who were accom- panied by detectives disguised as unem- ployed workmen. Those resisting were ar rested. The crowd scattered hooting and crying Down with our bulldog tyranti" and giving other evidences of its an- tagonistic attitude.

BULGARIA. WILL
 KEEP HANDS OFF
However, If the Turks Get Too Ob- streperous, They Must Suffer Consequences.

Sofia, Bulgaria, December 1.-The Bull garian foreign minister today made yer bal reply to the note presented by Aus tria and Russia, supported by other pow CTS, warning the governments of the Bal kan states to observe neutrality during the naval demonstration against Turkey.
 The minister expressed surprise that the powers should resort to such an ad- monition to Bulgaria which, he said, had invariably taken a correct position. He said that the existing conditions in Euro pean Turkey would continue so long as the Ottoman government connived with the Greeks in the persistent persecution of the Bulgarian population.
 If the prosecutions provoked an out break or led to a massacre, the minister said the Bulgarian government would re- pudiate all responsibility for the conse- quence because it would be impossible to resist the pressure resulting from popular excitement due to sympathy for the Bull garians of Turkey.
 The minister did not conceal his dis trust that the financial control of Mace donia by the powers would result in the prevention of outrages against the BulgarianA

THE DROWNING MANS LAST STRAW.
CUBAN ELECTION
 PAINFULLY QUIET
NOT RIPPLE MARRIED THE CALM NESS OF THE DAY, WHICH HAD BEEN LOOKED FORWARD TO WITH FOREGOING.

Havana. December 1.-The political agi- tation which began six months ago at the national convention of the liberal party, and which has dwindled since the with drawal of Gen. Jos Miguel Gomez, the presidential candidate named by that con- vention, ended today in an election that was so quiet and uninteresting as to cause scarcely a ripple of excitement. The vote cast was very light, this being due to the lack of interest in the wholly one sided election, and the heavy rains of Thursday night and today. The with drawal of the liberals from all nomina- tions as a protest against alleged injus- tices by the government and those con- ducting the primaries, left clear field for the moderates and every moderate nominee was elected from President Pal ma down to the provincial councillors.
 The only liberals who will have seats in the new congress which opens in April will be the hold-overs, and consequently only third of the senate. an da fifth of the house will be composed of members of that party
 The senate will have four moderates, one liberal nationalist or Nunez follower, and nine liberals. Included with the lat ter, however are four so-called independ- ents who may or may not vote with the liberals. The house will have twenty-four liberals. eight iberal-nationalists. forty one moderates, and three independents of moderate tendencies.
 Governor Nunez of Havana province, who after he failed to receive the liberal nomination for the presidency, Joined the forces of the Palma party in busting the liberals from Havana city, and provincial offices, are reelected. Moderate govern ors and councillors in every province were elected.
 Secretary of the Interior Andrade, who is in constant receipt of telegraphic re- ports from all sections of the island, in- formed the Associated Press tonight that he had received no advices indicating the slightest disorder anywhere The polls were open everywhere except In very few small villages. swollen rivers and muddy roads prevented voters assembling.

ESCAPE FROM SHIP
 WAS SPECTACULAR
CAPTAIN AND CREW DROP FROM RAIL TO JAGGED ROCKS AND SCRAMBLE UP THE STEEP EM. BANkMENT.

Two Harbors, Minp.. December 1.--De- tails received here of the wreck several days ago tell of a spectacular escape by the forward crew. The only rope available was the lead line which was cut into equal pieces for each member. One at d time each tied his piece to one of the stanchions of the fence. The action of the waves swayed the boat back and forth against the ledge. and as it struck the rocks the man on the line would drop on this treacherous footing and scramble up the bank.
 Captain Wright was the last to leave. He was encountered with water-soaked fur coat and fell on the rock and had to creep to safety. He was badly bruised. Captain Balfour escaped from the Manila, her consort, which was also stranded by a ladder, and his mate climbed an over hanging tree. They got a line from the LaFayettes crew, which was attached to a tree and shore made over this line. The embankment was very high at this point, and thickly covered with ice. Some of the men worked their way hand over hand up this rope It was here the fireman, Patrick Wade of Buffalo, was drowned. He lost his hold and fell into the waves beneath. Efforts to save him were unavailing. An arrangement was made by which others were hauled over the line.
 The Manila was not injured to a great extent and at daylight both crews found shelter aboard her

Exception Made for AIabamian.

Secretary Bonaparte has accepted the resignation of Midshipman Preston c. Cloud, third class, naval academy. In so doing he made an exception to the rule of the department requiring midshipmen to serve a certain period in the navy as a condition of their instruction at the acad- emy. Young Cloud entered the academy from Alabama in June, 1904, having earned his appointment by efficient service as an apprentice seaman and receiving the en- dorsement of the late Representative c. W. Thompson. Ills resignation was en- tirely voluntary, and was due to the fact that his guardian died recently, leaving to him the care of two younger brothers. In order that he might be able to do that he was offered remunerative position in civil life. Under the belief that his duty to his brothers was greater than his duty to the navy. under the circumstances he asked the navy department to relieve him from further attendance at the academy.
 The officials at the navy department finally consented to make an exception in this case and the young man was per mitted to resign.

Great Joy Is Manifested in Poland Over the Announcement That Martial Law Has Been
 Abolished.

St. Petersburg. December ?, 250 a. m.- The guards arrested at Tsarskoe-Selo Thursday night and Friday morning num- bered 250. including twenty officers. All kinds of rumors are current including the assertion that one of the grand dukes is involved sn a conspiracy against the Emperor, put none of them can be veri- fed
 It only seems certain that no confi- dence can be placed even on the guard regiments. Arrested soldiers are seen every day escorted by their escorts with drawn swords.
 St. Petersburg Is swarming with Cos sacks, the only troops against whom there is no suspicion of dsaffection. It is un- derstood that the whole Cossack forces of the empire. some 45o,0o0 will be mobilzed.
 A conference was held at Count Wittes residence last night to consider the de- mands of the telegraphers.
 Count Witte has declined to receive q deputation from the telegraph and postal strikers on the ground that they arc vio- lating their duty to the state, but he sen. note to the deputation recommending that the strikers address themselves to their immediate chiefs.

GIGANTIC RATE WAR.
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Will Make Fight Against the Gulf Lines.

Chicago, December 1.-The Record herald tomorrow will say:
 What promises to develop into one of the greatest grain rate-wars in years was begun today, when the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad put into effect a through tariff on corn be- tween the Missouri river and Liverpool of 281a cents from Kansas and 30 cents from Omaha.
 "As nearly as can be ascertained, this action was taken because of the discovery that the grain men who ship via the gulf were engaged in a cam paign to corral enormous movements of grain through the gulf ports at less than agreed rates. It is now the inten- tion of the St. Paul road to do the same thing by way of the Atlantic ports. The eastern roads have agreed to ac- cept the usual division of the St. Paul's rate, and the 3,000,000 bushels of corn which the road has secured will move through Baltimore"

Senate and House Membership
 Champing the Bits
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS TODAY
Underwood Will Introduce Bill for lm- provement of Birmingham Post office and for New Build
 ing at Bessemer.

Washington, December 1--(Special.)-A big majority of the Senate and House membership of the Fifty-nnth Congress has arrived in Washington, and the streets and hotels of the city are taking on their regular congressional atmosphere. In the House only eighty-one of the 3S6 are new members One of them, however, is not exactly first termer, Warren J. Keller, who was speaker of the Forty seventh Congress, afterward retiring to again return to Washington.
 Massachusetts revives the glory of an old name and is sending Redwood Hoar, son of the late senator. Chicago sends an interesting man in the person of Anthony Michalek, republican who ran against Carter Harrisons brother in what was believed to be a hopelessly democratic district and who would not consent to accept the nomination except on the stp- ulation that all the campaign literature refer to him as a grocer and give his bus mess address, so that he might at least, get some advertising out of his political sacrifice.
 From Michigan comes Ed Danby, son of the former minister to China. New York sends Charles A. Towne, for two days United States senator from Minne- sota. Also from New York comes J. Sloan Faucett, who was defeated by David B. Hill for governor.
 Over on the Senate side thirteen new members will be sworn in. This includes Governor-Senator Lafollette. Of the thir- teen but two are democrats-Frazier of Tennessee, and Rayner of Maryland
 One of the interesting characters re- turning to his old place in the Senate is Tom Carter of Montana. Four members of Congress, all republicans, will not pre- sent themselves at the bar They are, Senator Burton of Kansas and Senator Mitchell; and Representative, Hermann and Williamson of Oregon, whose cases are in the courts.

EXPECT BALFOUR TO
 SPRING SURPRISE
It Is Believed By Some That He May Yet Elect to Dissolve Parliament
 Rather Than Resign.

London, December 2-In some quarters 1t is believed that Premier Balfour may yet elect to dissolve parliament rather than resign. Some liberals do not hes- tate to attribute to the premier deep laid plot to spring the surprise of gem eral election on the country at an inop- perfume moment for the sake of gaining a tactical advantage for his party by forc- ing the election before the new register of voters comes into operation in Janu- ary.
 It Is further alleged that the hints of the premier's intention to resign have been spread with the purpose of conceal ing his real motives from the country.
 No matter what decision may be an- nounced next week, it is fact that both parties are already in the throes of an electoral campaign.

SENSATIONAL END
 IN THE M'LEOD CASE
THE DEFENDANT SWORE THAT HE HAD NEVER BEEN IN THE HOUSE WHERE THE WOMAN IS ALLEGED TO HAVE DIED.

Boston, Mass, December 1.-The jury which has been hearing the evidence at the trial of Dr. Percy Mcleod, the Back Bay physician who is charged with being an accessory to the performance of an illegal operation upon Susanna Geary, the dress suit case victim, retired to consider the testimony at 4:45 o'clock this after noon. B. N. Stevens, the judge before whom the case has been tried. instructed the jury to seal the verdict should one be reached tonight, and present 1t tomor- row morning.
 The proceedings today furnished dra- matic climax to an already sensational case. pr. Mcleod, in his own defense, testified that he did not dsmember the body of the chorus girl He denied that he had ever had any connection with the Mrs. Dr. Bishop office, where the illegal operation is alleged to have been perform ed, and swore that he had never been in- side the Winthrop street house where the girl died. or summoned to perform an op- eration to save Miss Gearys life. Accord ing to McLeods testimony he was called to the Winthrop street house by pr. John H. Pette, who a few days ago testified that he was summoned there by Dr. Me- Leod. He testified that his only connec- tion with the case was the performing of an operation known as laparatomy, the only hope he claimed of saving the wom- ans life.
 While the trial of Dr. Mcleod was in progress. William H. Stanford. one of the witnesses for the defense, was arrested on the charge of being a fugitive from justice from Philadelphia. It is alleged that under the name of Reagan the man was arrested in connection with ballot box frauds in the Thirteenth ward of Philadelphia, and was in bond of sl5O0 for trial. The case was called last Tuesday and Stanford, or Reagan, is alleged to have defaulted.
 Stanford is the husband of Mrs. Grace Ashmead Stanford. who also testified in Dr. McLeod's defense.
