been allowed to fill with water and
will probably be abandoned altogether
as the ore body there is said to be
practically exhausted. At the pres
ent time the average amount of ore
taken out day per man is much
more than it had been for several
months before the shutdown and this
fact will assist not a little in keeping
the property in operation.

the third offer to the workmen to
take stock on the profit sharing plan
and the changes in the method Of
controlling subsidiaries.
1t is understood that the only
changes in the list Of directors will
be those called for by the poor health
Of the retiring incumbents. There
are two members of the board in the
list of eight who may elect to retire
on that ground. Outside Of these
most, if not all, of the list will be
reelected.

there is nothing to Indicate any pro-
nounced opposition to the plans of
the management.

EVACUATING HARBIN.
Stories of Riot and Disorder at
VLGdaUostoh Exaggerated.

Che-Foo Dec. 9, p. ma merchant who ar
rived to-day from Hardin by way of Vladivos-
tok reports that when he left Hardin nine days
ago the railway operating regularly. He
arrived at Vladivostok after a journey Of two
days
At the time of his departure from Hardin
the employees OF the postal telegraph lines were
on strike but the military telegraphers were
working as usual. He reports the stories Of
destruction Of property by rioters at Hardin
as incorrect, though some demonstration was
made by untntelligent people who failed to un-
derstand the significance of the Emperors re-
cent procIamations These demonstrations nave
not taken the form OF riot.
The evacuation of Hardin and other places
along the railway continues fast as the trans
portation facilities win permit the removal Of
troops. The military has been constantly pre-
pared to resist any disorder that might possibly
arise. Exaggerated reports have been pub
lished in the Far Eastern papers concerning the
situation at VIadivostok. The report Of disor-
ders was untrue. Private letters received by
Che-Foo merchants who are in continuous com
munication with Vladivostok connections fail
to reveal any attempt to renew disorders.
Steamers are constantly plying between Che-Foo
and Vladivostok. Telegraphic communication
between Che-Foo and Siberia has been inter
rupted during the last two weeks
Conversations with persons coming from Har-
bin apparently show the causes Of possible dem
onstratons at points along the Siberian Railway
to be the same which the visit and investigation
Of an Associated Press correspondent at VlaGi-
vostok November 10 revealed. The underly-
ing difficulties there were as follows:
Many of the reserve troops at Vladtvostok be-
came FESTIVE after the conclusion of peace and
desired to return home. They failed to appreci-
ate the difficulties and even the Impossibility of
transporting them home quickly. These troops
evidenced in more aggravated form the dis
satisfaction of the American volunteers In the
Philippines at the conclusion Of the Spanish war
Following the Russian Emperors proclamation
of freedom the enthusiastic citizens of VIadi-
vcstok held mass meetings to celebrate his &c
ton. After the public rally the predominant
unintelligent element Of the reservists excited
by the demonstration but not appreclating it's
significance. sought the permission OF their off,
GERS to attend the meetings, which were literally
advertised. This permission refused, the
officers being cautious and believing It inadvisa-
BILE to elbow large numbers Of this class OF SOL
diers TO congregate. The unruly spirits among
the men resented the refusal and. aided by the
revolutionary element present In Vladivostok as
elsewhere indamed the troops to such an extent
that disorder was threatened unless the military
authorities allowed the soldiers indiscriminately

suspicious in the mouth OF the head of a state,
but he insists the second assembly of the

not upon the reduction but the reasonable and

AUTOMOBILE DISPLAY.
The eighth annual automobile salon, opened
at the Grand Palais yesterday by President
Loubet, far surpasses any of its predecessors.
not only from the artistic, but from industrial
points of view The President on entering the
salon proceeded first, according to custom to
the stand Of the Richard Brasier Company,
which won the Gordon Bennett Interna-
tional Cup. After visiting the exhibits of
the Panhard Bollee, Renaut. Darracq, Char,
ron, Delahaye, De Dion and other French
makers and the German Mercedes. President
Loubet made ten minutes stop at the
exhibit OF the American firm Of Hotchl1isS,
also at the Italian firm of Fiat and the English
firms of Napier and of Rolls Royce. The dominant
characteristics of the 1906 models are, first, that
pressed steel frames are now universally
adopted and in most cases are narrowed at the
front to permit of easy turning; second that
the rear wheels are placed at the extreme end OF
the frame that the whole weight is well pal
anced and hangs inside the four wheels third
the great improvement and simplicity In the
valves and spray nozzles for carburetters;
fourth, the forced feed system generally adopted
for fabrication; fifth, the invention Of automatic
starting apparatus. largely due to prizes offered
by M Henry Deutsch and the French Academy
Of Sports; sixth, touring cars lighter in weight
yet stronger and more trustworthy, than ever
before. It Is noted that the 1906 models are SO
much alike in general CONSTITUTIONAL lines ana
appearance that experts can scarcely tell them
apart otherwise than by tnking front view OF
the radiators The French public evtnces the
most enthusiastic interest in the autonloDne
show which is not only for autocars, in the great
najace but also for autoboats and balloons IN the
vast dollhouse establishments Of the city OF Par1s
along the banks of the Seine Altogether, it is
a tremendous success.

FOOTBALL ACCIDENTS.
While the continuous success OF the New
Zealand team is likely to revolutionize Rugby
football by substituting open field work for mass
play and hard showing, the methods have
not secured immunity from accident. Three of
the best players-Thompson. Johnston and
Smith-have been so seriously disabled that they
cannot take the field again in England, and
wallace, one Of the heetest and cleverest three
quarters, is temporarily knocked out by heavy
fall The captain and seven other players had
been previously injured but have reported at
Birkenhead for the Cheshire match to-day. The
final international contest with the Welsh team
next week will be a severe test when the colonial
team is crippled. The enormous attendance at
these matches is aiding the movement for chang
ing the rules in making the game moro interest
ing to spectators by increasing passing, running
and open play generally.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS IN BACKGROUND.
There has been little discussion of foreign af-
fairs during the week. No leader writer affects

TERROR OF TIE SEA.
Greatest Danger That Confronts

Greatest Danger That Confronts
Mariners Is the Derelict.
OF all the spectacles of the seas,
none is so tragic as the derelict, the
Grant of the trackless deep, writes
P. T. McGrath in McClure's. Weird
beyond description is the picture pre-
scented by some broken and battered
hulk, as she swings into view against
the sky line, with the turgid green
seas sweeping over her moss-grown
decks, and splintered fragment of
mast pointing upward, as If in protest
against her undoing. 1t is a sight also
to arouse fear.
For the derelict is the most potent
Of all the dangers that threaten the
seafarer. Silent, stealthy, invisible, it
is the terror of the mariner. It is the
arch-hypocrite of the deep Against
it skill Of seamanship, vigilance in
watching, avail not. Lights and whis-
ties, beams and buoys- proclaim the
proximity of land; the throbbing of
engines, the noise Of shipboard life
tell of an approaching vessel; icebergs
and ice foes betray themselves by
their ghostly radiance and surround
ing frigidity of air. The derelict gives
no warning, makes no signal. The
first sign of it's existence is the crash,
the sickening tremble and quaver of
the ship suddenly wounded to death.
