PRAISES CHINESE SAILORS.
Shipmaster Who Has Tried Them Says They Work Hard and
 Never Complain.

Chinese sailors have not heretofore been highly regarded as rule, but a shipmaster who has made tour of the world and recently landed in Bos- ton is authority for the statement that Chinamen make the best of sailors, states the New York Sun. He had command of crew of 42 officers and men, of whom 34 were Chinese. In speaking of his crew he said:
 T left New York in December for Australia and New Zealand ports with crew of Americans and Englishman. had no more than got out of the har- Dor before there was trouble, and it lasted all the time we were at sea, and when we got into port the men got drunk.
 This has been my experience with crews for years, but determined to make change. had seen ships with Chinese sailors and heard the captains tell of their good qualities, and finally l determined to try them.
 At Singapore I fired my New York crew and replaced it with Chinese. paid the fares of the New York sail ors to their home ports and was glad to get rid of them. Since that day the experience of myself and my fel- low officers has been glorious one. The continuous grumbling and kick ing has ceased.
 "The Chinamen work hard and never murmur. They are a quiet, or der-loving crowd, and a better lot of sailors never walked the decks.
 ''The time will come when they will be found on every ship. When they reach a port they do not rush ashore and get drunk and then come aboard and begin to abuse every one"
 The Chinamen are satisfied to take a short shore leave only. They do not quarrel, they do not drink to excess. They are placid and docile and are not inclined to mutiny.
 American captains on foreign yoy- ages are, from present indications, likely to have much to do with Chi nese sailors in the future. The mari time business of the Philippines is largely in the hands of Chinese mer- chants at present and many of the sailors in Philippine ports come from Hong-Kong.
 There is a large Chinese population in Hawaii, too, and many sailors shipped in Hawaii for voyages to America are Chinamen.
 Though Englishmen and Scotchmen are excellent sailors it was found some years ago desirable for English shipowners to secure for tropical or emi-tropical voyages men less easily affected by intense heat and East In- dian or Lascar. sailors have been found to fulfill this requirement. In much the same way 1t is predicted that Chi nese sailors will become popular as seamen for American ships on voyages south of the line.

He's no dude" "Bossert? Bossert?" the 400 ruminated. Now who can that be?'
 The incident is illustrative of the op- portunity which is the Republic. Hyde's place at Bay Shore was the pride of his father. He himself developed it to rare beauty. largely at the expense of the Equitable stockholders. There he bred fine horses, but not fast ones-his taste was more for coaching-and fine flow CTS, the famous violets included. He was blue-ribbon winner at the horse shows there and elsewhere. It seems to be thought good business for life in- surance man to have show place in the country. That of President Mccall, of the New York Life, down on the Jersey side, is a huge pile of ostentatious cost Illness.
 Louie" Bossert about 30 years ago started blaming mill and sash factory in that section of Brooklyn known as 'Dutchtown." He lived there himself; later, us the mill grew and business be- came good, he moved uptown and built simple, modest house on Bushwick avenue. the show street of the newer German district Brooklyn has been en- toying building boom of late Owing to conditions widely different from those in Manhattan, most of the building is of small frame cottages. This year Mir. Bos.. sert, who is quiet, unassuming man of not much more than middle age, was an exhibitor at the Bay Shore horse show. That was his entrance into the society of the place. His purchase of the Hyde country place makes him the nabob of the region. Personally, I'd much rather own blaming mill than do what Mir. Hyde has done in the Equi- table.

ON THE EVE
Of a Great and Final Bat
tie for Supremacy.
A GENERAL STRIKE.
Russian WOrkmen Have Declared It
in Order to Force Concessions
from the Government.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 20.-Russia ap-
parently is on the eve of great if not
final struggle for mastery between
the government and the proletariat.
Both sides have lined up for battle.
A call for general strike through
out Russia, to begin Thursday at noon,
was issued last night.
The call is approved by the Union of
Unions, the Union of Peasants, the
General Railway union and the coun-
ellis of workmen of st. Petersburg and
Moscow.
A response received from the rail-
road men of Moscow is unanimous for
a strike.
The leaders have declared their
ability to stop every railroad in Rus
sia.
A committee representing the Mos
COW bourse arrived here Tuesday to
implore Count Witte to do something
to ward off the blow of a general
strike and also to settle the post and
telegraph strike Immediately, as the
only means of preventing financial
ruin. The committee painted the out
look in black colors. 1t told the pre-
mier that already there had been thou
sands of small bankruptcies in the
provinces; that the paper of many
firms was going to protest and that
while one week of the general strike
would beggar the proletariat, it also
would ruin countless industries

FORTY PEOPLE INJURED.
Collision of Passenger Trains at Har-
lem, N. Y, Results Disastrously.

New York, Dec. 20.-In one of the
most extraordinary accidents known to
American railroading, two heavily
gether on the elevated tracks of the
New York Central & Hudson River
railroad last night near One Hundred
and Tenth street in Harlem. One man,
]. w. Knapp, of New Rochelle, was
killed and 40 persons were more or
less seriously injured.
Both of the colliding trains were
eastbound and had left the Grand Cen
trail station at Forty second street
within a few minutes of each other.
One was Stamford local on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railway,
which company uses the New York
Central tracks. The other train was
the Poughkeepsie express of the Cen
tral. Rushing along on parallel tracks,
the two trains suddenly came together.
The local was switched from the third
track onto the fourth, and in an in
slant the engine of the express had
crashed into the day coach following
the smoking car of the local.
The tracks at the point of the col
lision are about 80 feet in the air. This
made the work of rescue difficult and
lent materially to the terror of the
passengers, most of whom were resi-
dents of nearby points in Connecticut
and New York state, who had come to
the city on holiday shopping tours.
John ID. Horn, engineer of the ex
press train, was arrested on the
charge of manslaughter and later was
released on bail

City end of the underwater bore.
Surrounded by water which threat
ened to engulf them the moment the
compressed air should fail to hold il
in check, the two entombed men had
kept up constant communication with
the surface by rapping on the pipes
which brought them air. They were
almost exhausted when the three men
swan up to the platform on which
they were huddled.
1t was with difficulty that the res.
cuers induced the frightened men to
plunge into the water they had dread.

coNGRES SsIoNAL.

The senate on the 18th was in ses-
sion for only an hour and a half and a
portion of that time was spent in the
consideration of executive business.
Mr.. Allison presented the report of
the committee on appropriations on
the Panama canal bill. A communica-
tion from Secretary Shaw regarding
campaign contributions by national
banks was read. When the house met
Speaker Cannon announced the trans
fer of Representative Mondell (Wyo.)
from the committee on military af-
fairs to public lands and of Mr.. Mil
Ter (Kan.) from public lands to mill
tary affairs. Bills were passed au-
thorizing the Rock Island, Arkansas g.
Louisiana Railway Co., to bridge the
Ouachita river and other navigable
streams in Arkansas.
The senate spent four hours on the
18th in discussing the Panama canal
emergency appropriation bill and
when it adjourned the bill was still
under consideration. A separate bill
regulating the issuance of bonds for
the canal and placing them on the
same basis as other government bonds,
was passed without debate. Debate on
the recommendation in the president S
annual message regarding insurance
regulation, occupied the house again
without conclusion.
The Panama canal was again under
consideration by the senate on the
18th. Before the Panama bill was
taken up the senate adopted resolu-
tion calling upon the postmaster gen
eral for information as to whether
there is discrimination between col
lege publications in the matter of ad-
mission to the mails as second class
matter. The house devoted four and
three quarter hours to lively debate on
the possibilities of controlling insur-
ance companies.
The senate on the 10th passed the
Panama canal emergency appropria-
tion bill. An amendment was ac-
cepted which specifically requires that
congress shall be supplied with regu.
lar estimates of all salaries except
those paid to laborers, skilled and un.
skilled. The house INDUCED itself to
the extent of four hours of what was
many times termed an academic dis
cussion of federal control of insur.
ance.
Insurance, hazing, the suffering
Russian Jews and immigration were
all topics of discussion in the house or
the 18th. The only business done
was to send the canal appropriation
bill to conference. Whether the sen
ate is warranted In ignoring sena
tor convicted in the courts on charge:
of misconduct and in not assigning
him to places on standing committees
yet leaving his name on the senate
roll, was discussed for two hours by
the senate and then dropped without
a ruling on the question.
