CoRNETTO GUILTY.

Before court adjourned yesterday
afternoon the jury brought in a ver-
dict of guilty in the case of John Cor.
netto, charged with assaulting Attor-
ney Felix H. Lester last summer. The
evidence showed that the complainant
called upon Cornetto at his Vendome
hotel to collect a bill for one of his
clients, which so angered the defend

later and a hot controversy ensued,
during which the alleged assault and
battery happened.
Attorney E. w. Dobson, represent
ing number of strike-breakers,
asked Judge Abbott for a change of
venue. His clients are charged with
melting riot near the Santa Fe
shops. Before rendering his decision
the court allowed Attorney Dobson
more time in which to prepare further
argument.
It did not take the jury long to re-
turn a verdict of not guilty, In the
case of the Territory VS.. Simon Bal
ling. the proprietor of the Iceberg sa-
loon, who was indicted for allowing
one Isaac Singer, a minor, to loiter

SAME TAVERN TO BE USED

Boston, Mass, Dec. 16. - This is
the anniversary of the Boston Tea
Party" which took place December
16. 1878. on that memorable day a
number of prominent citizens of Bos-
ton, disguised as Indians, boarded
the vessels in the harbor, having
among the cargo boxes and caddies OF
tea. upon which the coonists were
expected to pay the hated stamp tax.
Rather than pay that tax the enraged
colonists dumped all of the tea they
could find into the harbor. The dar-
ing party, which had been organized
at Coles Inn. known as the Hancock
Tavern. swept down upon the ships,
boarded them, Overpowered the watch
men and sailors, and threw the yalu-
able cargoes of tea overheard. This
action of the colonists has always
been considered as one of the most
provocative of the revolution, as the
British officers were never able to
discover or convict a single man con-
nected with the raid, although it was
led by Paul Revere. William Molin-
eaux, Col. Joseph Palmer and Amos
Lincoln.

Ten Sets Of Wireless TeIe-
graph Outfits GFscred
at That Price.
NOT so MUCH DIFFERENCE
Government Has Three Kinds but
Gives It's Preference TO
the MaSSie.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 10. - The
Navy Department has awarded the
contracts, amounting to $4,000, 900,
for ten sets of wireless telegraph out
fits of the Massie system. One of
these sets will be installed at the
Washington Navy Yard, and most of
the others will be set up at the new
stations along the Pacific coast
There was keen competition TO OBJ
tain this contract. and seven or eight
bidders, representing as many wire
less systems. submitted proposals,
ranging in price from less than the
contract to nearly 100000 more, No
one was able TO explain why there
should be such a range of prices, but
it is probably due to the uncertainty
existing in the minds of wireless peo-
pie in regard to their ability to meet
all the governmental requirements.
There is not so much difference be-
tween the systems as one might sup
pose, and the advantage appears to
be controlled largely by atmospheric
conditions. In recent achievements in
wireless communication it was found
that the station at Newport, where
there is a Telefunken system, was
able to hear the entire conversation
between the naval station at Beau
fort, n. c., equipped with the Massle
system, and the station at Havana,
equipped with the De Forrest system.
The distance between Havana and
Newport Is 300 miles. and II was
demonstrated that wireless messages
could be exchanged with only one re-
lay. II was interesting to observe
that while Newport could hear the
other stations, Beaufort was the only
one able TO reply.

HEARST's LAWYER WILL
APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE.

New York, Dec. ia novel plan
for forcing the recount of the votes in
the fight of Hearst against the re-
election of Mcclellan, was announced
last night by Clarence j. Shearn
Hearst's personal counsel. I'VE shall
have a bill introduced In the legisla-
ture providing for the recount OF all
ballots cast in the election in this
city" said Shearn. 1T will not be in
the form of an amendment 10 the cleo
tion law, which would be retroactive,
but will provide for the reopening OF
all the ballot boxes for recount, in
view of the evidence already obtained
that there was fraud in the count.
The recount will be for discovering the
extent of the fraud, not for correc-
tion Of the fraud, nor for correcting the
returns, which have been canyassed;
but we can make use Of the informa-
tion obtained by the recount later in
the quo warTanto proceedings 10 oust

FL PAS0 SHIPPERS
ARE DISTURBED
AND SERIOUSLY OBJECT TO AL
BUQUERQUE JoBBERS GETTING
BETTER FREIGHT RATES.

That the shippers of El Paso, who
at present are enjoying a freight rate
about half that of what New Mexico
jobbers are forced to pay, fear that
the proposed re-grouping of I'll Paso
with Albuquerque, Las Vegas and
other territorial towns, will cause the
freight rates into El Paso to be raised,
Is made manifest by the many exec
utive meetings of the shippers and
members of the Commercial club, now
being held in that city.
AS stated exclusively in Wednes-
days issue of The Evening Citizen, it
Is proposed to to take lei Paso out of
the Rio Grande crossing group and
form a new group, composed of Albu-
querque, Las Vegas, Deming, Santa
Fe and other points in New Mexico,
with FL Paso as a base. This would
mean a reduction of freight rates into
this territory, without a doubt, and i'm
view of this, the jobbers of El Paso
fear that inasmuch as their present
rate Is just about half of what the
New Mexico rate is, It would mean the
reduction of New Mexlco's freight
rates and a slight increase in Ell
Paso's freight rates, as the rate to
both Albuquerque and FL Paso would
of necessity be the same.
The jobbers Of New Mexico have
long tried to secure from the roads
New Mexico common point rate, sucl
as El Paso, Eagle Pass, Laredo and
other Texas points has, and the same
as Colorado has, which means a sta
bic. fixed rate from the north TO ali
points in New Mexico in the rate
group.
The Representatives of the different
roads running into FL Paso, some of
which pass through New Mexico, have
assured the citizens OF El Paso that
the proposed change would ultimately
work to the advantage of that city,
and il Is an evident fact that the pro-
posed regrOuping, 10 include New
Mexico towns. could not help but
work to the advantage of Albuquer-
que and other towns included in The
new grouping.
El Paso i0bbers. however. are not
inclined 10 take this view of the mat
ter, as they realize that the roads
would not possibly make New Mexico
as low a rate as FL Paso now enjoys,
and realizing that In the new group
none OF the places included i'm the
group could be Disseminated against,
II would mean. so they claim, higher
rates for them, than they now enjoy.
But that Il would benefit New Mex
leo cannon be denied, and as a result
the shippers and jobbers throughout
the territory are taking the matter up
and making a fight for the proposed
regrOuping II is thought that the
matter will be definitely decided
within the next few days.

st. Petersburg, Dec. l5.-Friday-
Proletariat organizations through in
visible government" threw a bomb in
to the camp of the official government
during the night by issuing a manifes-
to, following the regular form of the
imperial document, declaring the
bankruptcy of the treasury, ordereing
the proletariat army everywhere TO
refuse to pay taxes Of any descrip-
ton, to insist on payment of wages in
gold or silver. and to withdraw all
their deposits from the savings banks
in gold.
The manifesto is a terrible indict-
ment of the manner In which the bu-
reaucracy brought the country to
financial ruin, asserting that the gov
ernment has squandered, not only the
country's income, but the proceeds OF
foreign loans, ON railroads, army and
feet, leaving the people without
schools; yet il is declared there is no
no money to feed the soldiers and
everywhere there are instructions of
beggared and starving troops and sail
ors.
The rich, it is declared, have al
ready taken warning and are convert
ing their property into securities and
gold, and are sending these abroad.
Therefore the last source of existence
of the old regime, it's financial reve-
nue., must be stopped.
The document is signed by the
members of the workmens council,
the committee of the pam Russian un-
ion, and the central committees of the
social democrats, the social revolu-
tionists, and the socialists of Poland.
The revolutionists expect that ar
rests will follow, but new committees
of the various organizations have been
elected TO the third and fourth de-
