BOSTON POLITICAL ROR
Congressman AIeNary May Be Called
 Before Grand Jury.

PBoston, Dec. 15.-District Attorney John B. Moran declared to-day that un- less Congressman William s. McNary called upon him and gave him all the information he possessed relative to charges against Mayor-elect John F. Fitzgerald made by Mir. McNary, he would summons the congressman to ap- pear before the grand jury.
 MT. Moran had received a letter from Mir. McNary in which the latter wrote that he most politely decline dto appear before him concerning the charges against MT. Fitzgerald. The matter was brought to the attention of the district attorney through public letter sent by Congressman McNary to Congressman George W. Anderson. This letter con tained an outline of the charges which the congressman had made against the mayor-elect and the names of persons, among them that of MT. Moran himself, who, he claimed, could furnish evidence to support the charges.

sANTo DOMINGO THE ONE
Anxious for Amendment of Treaty Re-
 Sarding Financial Affairs.

Washington, Dec 15.-1t developed at a meeting of the senate committee on foreign relations to-day that it is San to Domingo and not the United States that is anxious to have amended the pending treaty in relation to Domin- ican financial affairs. The seventh ar ticle of the treaty provides that the United States at the request of the Dominican republic shall grant the lat ter such assistance as the United States may deem proper to restore credit, preserve order, increase the effi- cheney of the civil administration and advance the material progress and well fare of the Dominican republic. This article is construed to give the United States authority to send warships to the ports of the republic to enforce the terms of the treaty and put down any disorders that might threaten the smooth operation of the convention.

VETO MESSAGE WITHHELD
ALTON STREET EXTENSION MAT
 BEARRANGED.

Special Meeting of Board of Aldermen
 on Tuesday Evening Will Not Have
 Humphrey Street Matter to Act On--
 Manufacturers' Railway Objection
 May be obviated-aIayo VIII Not
 Submit Veto Until Regular Meeting
 If settlement is Reached It Will
 Not be Sustained.
 As the result of a special hearing held by appointment with Alderman Devine in the mayors office last evening, the announcement was made last night that the mayors vetoes of the orders recently passed by the board of alder men for the, extension of Humphrey street to Alton street will not be sub- mitted to the board of aldermen at the special meeting which has been called for next Tuesday evening, nor will the board take up the matter at that meet ing. ~5z
 Representatives from tue Seventh and Twelfth wards accompanied Alderman Devine to the mayors conference last evening. It was believed that; they would favor the mayors suggestion to carry out the old plan of extension to Lombard street. On the contrary, the opinion was entirely for the Alton street plan.
 The reason for the veto of the Alton street plan sprang from the objections of the Manufacturers Street Railway company, which provides local freight transportation at absolute cost to the manufacturers of that section. This company has four switching tracks on territory across which the street would cut. and inconvenience and danger would result from the execution of the plan. -..e ..s.. -#s, .# @e
 Colonel Fox and MT. Barnum, repre- senting the Manufacturers railway, were present last evening and a sug- gestion was made that the company could place its tracks between the street and the railroad. This plan will, 1t is believed, solve the difficulty, and then the objection to the extension will be withdrawn. Accordingly Mayor Studley will withhold his veto until the charter limit, which will be the next meeting of the board. In the mean while the engineers of the city and the railway will get together and attempt | to obviate the objection. If they are successful the veto will not be sustain ed. It Is probable that the veto will have to be formally submitted, as the mayors time expired at midnight on Thursday night. He was forced to veto the orders at the time to save the plan,
 The special meeting of the board on Tuesday night may transact some other business. but it. will not act on the bus- mess for which 1t was called.

L4MsDoRF HOPEFUL.
Believes Political situation in Russia
 Has Improved.

1AAb AAhlpIONcus
 St. Petersburg, Thursday, Dec, IA Evening" via Eydtkuhnen, East Prus- sia, Dec 15.-Foreign Minister Laans- dorf at the first interview which he had with the American ambassador, George L. Won Meyer, since the latter's return to St. Petersburg, while not optimistic expressed the opinion that the political situation and outlook had considerably improved.
 The law and order clements are now the principal hope of averting the cait- aclysm which the revolutionary parties are organizing.
 Upon the early conversation of the national assembly the pressure for which is constantly increasing, it is generally believed that Premier Witte will dispense with the serv. ses of Inter- for Minister Durnovo against whom all classes have risen and appoint M. Guchkoff, a prominent member of the Moscow zenstvo, who is said to he ready to accept the office as his sue cessor.
 People here continue ito talk of tho probable ceremonial attending the is- suing of the constitution December 10 and much is being made of the report that the golden state carriages used at momentous ceremonies will be sent to Tsarskoe- Selo An investigation of the rumor, however, seems to show that 1t is baseless as the emperor is going to Moscow to proclaim the constitution in the Kremlin
 The budget of 1s05 Is being cut to the bone not only in order to try and make both ends meet but in order to make the best possible showing to the na- tional assembly. Extravaganne in all directions has been eliminated and projects for new railroad constructions and new public works of every descrdp- ton are omitted. The only item in creased are the salaries of the railroad and postal employees, The personnel of the army and navy and the naval pro- gramme are greatly reduced and an item $19,000,00 for new construction is struck out. It is not yet definitely de- ter1nined whether the admiralty desires i to develop the home industry so far as | possible and construct at home what ever ships are to be built. But for this purpose young and energetic officers have been sent abroad to study nacaI | construction. It is the present fnten- tion to construct only sample ships in foreign yards A spirit in favor of the entire reorganization of the navy IS apparent at the admiralty. The old system of training and handling the personnel. both officers and men, will be changed.
 The outbreak of the nutinous spirit in the Manohurian army is partly att trtbutable to the failure to pay and properly feed the troops. The latter problem is especially difficult owing to | y (Continued on Eighth Page.)

LAWRENCE RUNS DOWN SHIP
SOUND STEAMER CRASHES INTO
 SCHOONER BASUToLAND.

to Scramble for Their L1yeS-F eSSet
 Would Have Sunk in Ten Minutes
 Had it Not Been for Fact That She Was Loaded With Lumber.
 Bridgeport, Dec. 15.-The Bridgeport line steamer City of Lawrence, from New York to this port, eollided with the schooner Basutoland, Captain Roper bound from Chatham, N. S.. to New York with a cargo of laths, tonight about o'clock off South Norwalk and cut such a hole in the coaster that she would have sunk in ten minutes had it not been for her cargo, which kept her afioat. Captain, Roper and a crew of four men scrambled for their lives and were taken aboard the steamer in the latter's boats just as the schooner set tied.
 The captain of the City of Lawrence says that he saw the schooner half a mile ahead of him and that he veered his course, but the schooner took a sud- den tack and before the steamers s course could be changed again the crash came with great force and it was feared that the crew of the schooner could not be rescued without accident. Boats were speedily lowered and the five men on the sailing vessel scrambled over her sides and were landed safely on the steamer and taken to this city. A sailor named Collier, who was in the forward house, was injured in the head by flying board, but not seriously. The schooner was struck on her port bow and cut nearly in two. She new rides the waves of Long Island sound with her gunwales just afloat and all sails set.
 An effort will be made tomorrow to beach her near this city, if possible, unless she is driven ashore by the strong southwest wind which prevailed when she was abandoned, She is a l two-masted schooner

The situation is most serious in the country which is practically abandoned to ths revolutionary bands owing to the con oentration of the troops in the cities and towns. Against some of the estates where the landlords aided by a few faithful adherents. are attempting to protect their property the revolutionista are conducting regular military opera tions.

Former Derby Man Not Wanted in
 Hyde Park, Mass.

Hyde Park, Mass, Dec. 15.-Angered at articles that have appeared in the Sentinel, a local paper, several hun dred residents of this town tonight held a mass meeting in Liberty hall and passed resolutions to the effect that Hyde Park was not the proper place of residence for the editor, Victor Well. The meeting was presided over by Frank D. Rich, chairman of the board of selectmen. While the meeting was in progress, a crowd outside of the hall, unable to gain admission, saw Editor Well on the street. The crowd imme. diately started in pursuit and the edi- tor was barely able to swing aboard a train for Boston, as 1t was pulling out of the station and thereby escape his pursuers. After the adjournment of the meeting at Liberty hall an effigy, placarded as Editor Veil, was hanged in square.
