4 RUSSIAN
TRAGEDY G.
SUNDAY
CASTS A GLOOM OVER THE
FESTIVITIES OF NEW
YEARS DAY IN THE
LAND OF THE
GEAR.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 15.-The san
culinary tragedy In the famous res
taurant "The Bear" at an early hour
yesterday morning in which the stu
dent, pavidOff, was shot and killed
by Count Sheromieff and the count
was badly battered by friends of the
dead man, has cast shadow over the
new year festivities. The custom of
making new year calls obtains In
Russia to a larger extent than In any
other country of the world and at
every reception today the affair at
The Bear" was q subject of cOnversa-
ton, 1t being universally accepted by
superstitious Russians as an augury
that blood, passion and violence will
reign in ST. Petersburg in 1906.
Strangely enough the Zeritel (Spec-
tator) this morning printed picture
representing the spectre of death in
terrupting and spreading consterna-
tion at new year feast.
The note struck by the radical press
in reviewing the past year and COM
menting on the outlook for the new
year Is extremely pessimistic. These
newspapers generally see no prospect
of internal peace but they unite in
expressing the hope that 1906 will not
end as did 1905, with the spirit of re-
action strongly in the ascendant
The Novoe Vremya and the Slovo,
on the contrary, look to the douma to
put seal on the charter of the peo-
pies liberties and to restore tran
quillity to the distracted country.

liant of Russian Journalists, who

OUR FATAL WEAKNESS
in CASE or WAR
Is Pointed Out By the Army General Staff to Sec
retary Taft and Through Him Trans
mitted to Coniress

Washington Jan. 14.-An exposition
of the fatal weakness Of the army
transport resources In case Of war is
contained in a paper prepared by the
general STAFF and transmitted by Sec
retary Taft to Senator Gallinger
chairman of the merchant marine COM
mittee which Is in charge of the ship
ate. In the cOurse of its work the
general staff has discovered that even
the presented limited military force
could not be transported over the sea
in case of a war with foreign coun-
try or to defend our insular possess
sions, unless there should be an i'm
mediate and. great increase in the
number of American steamships suit
able for transport service. 1t is point
ed out that foreign shipping could not
be drawn upon in time Of war because
OF the neutrality laws SO that under
present conditions "the quick first
blow SO very increasingly important
cannot be struck at all" Incidentally
the secretary criticises with the great
est freedom the circumstances under
which the little American army was
transported to Santiago to begin the
Spanish American war.
The reply of the war department
has been prepared by special COM
mittee of the general staff and is
transmitted to Secretary Taft by
Lieut.. Gen. Chaffee, chief OF staff. This
report states that two sizes Of mer-
chant steamships are desirable for
transport service ships of $500 tons
and $500 tons gross register, vessels
of medium dimensions. The speed
which both the army and navy depart
ment have decided upon as most desir-
able for troop transportation is sus-
tanned rate of IL knots.
! ITO make this speed with certainty
and with economical coal consump-
tion," says the present report, "the
ships should be designed for q trial
speed slightly in excess of IL knots"
Steamships of $500 and of $500
tons are preferred, because 1T is con-
ceded to be indispensable to the best
results that each ship shall carry
tactical unit of troops with its COM
plete equipment and supplies.

THERE is NO HOPE FOR

T1-MILLIoNA1RE
MERCHANT.

New York, Jan. 15.-It was admitted
at the Holland house, where he is a.
patient Ill with pneumonia this morn
Ing, that hope OF the ultimate recovery
of Marshall Field, the Chicago mer-
chant. has been generalyi abandoned.
The physicians In attendance, how
ever, refused to commit themselves
beyond the statement that Mr.. Fields
condition was less favorable than yes
terday. Ala o'clock this morning one
physician, who left the patient long
enough to have his breakfast served
In the room adjoining the sick cham
ber, said:
- Mr.. Field it no better and no worse
than when our last bulletin was is
sued last night. So far as / can see
his condition has not changed since
midnight"
At 2:15 a. m today the following
bulletin on the condition of Marshall
Field was issued by his physicians at
the Holland house:
Near the end of the seventh day of
the disease, Mr.. Fields condition re-
mains critical. There is yet no i'm
: provement'
At the time the above bulletin was
issued, Mr.. Fields pulse varied be-
tween 60 and 12O. &.
New York, Jan. 15.--Just before II
O'Clock. DR.. Billings, when asked II
there had been any change in Mr..
Fields condition, replied: s.Mr. Field

'This tactical unit is regiment of
infantry or battalion of engineers,
battalion of infantry, squadron of
cavalry, etc. To embark a division
would require ten $500 ships and nine
$500 ton ships. With the present
strength Of the regular army two such
divisions could be made ready to en-
bark In fifteen days, hence twenty of
the larger and eighteen of the smaller
ships available in fifteen days would
be sufficient for such an expedition
AS such as an expedition would be
necessary for either the Atlantic OF
Pacific coast, the report urges that
there should be on either side a num-
ber OF suitable ships aflOat. But If
engaged in foreign trade 1T is not
probable that one-third Of those on
either ocean could be obtained and
ready in fifteen days.
Assuming this ration says the re-
port of the general staff, ut follows
that to provide suitable ships for a
rapid movement of two divisions of
either coast there should be not less
than sixty of the larger and fifty of
the smaller afloat in the Atlantic and
the same in Pacific waters. totalling
12O Of the larger and 108 smaller
ships, an aggregate of 22s ships"
The report says that no such fleet
could be furnished from the present
resources. of the American mercantile
marine.
The official list" 1t points out, 'of
merchant vessels of 1904, shows fifty
seven seagoing ships of 1000 gross
tons and upwards with an aggregate
tonnage of 100000 This includes the
big fast Atlantic liners which would
doubtless be required by the navy for
scouts and also some very large ships
which would not be generally service
able. OF these ships eight are subj
stantially of the smaller and nine Of
the larger size described. The re-
mainder vary in such an extent and
proportion as to make it unsafe to
adopt factors smaller than four gross
tons per man and ten per animal in
gauging their capacity. With these
factors the division would require 116-
900 gross tons of transport and two
divisions will require $4,000 gross
tons selected from their list of ships

Castro Invading the United

New York, Jan. 15.-The latest in
formation from Caracas regarding the
Critchfield claim against Venezuela,
which dispatches from Washington say
will be pressed by the state depart
ment, is that it will be satisfactorily
adjusted between the government of
Venezuela and the United States and
the Venezuela company, which now
operates the Critcnfield concession,
says the Tribune The claim grows
out of the shutting down by the gov
ernment of the asphalt property,
"Elinciarte," near Maracaibe, for fail
ure to pay an export tax imposed on
the product by President Castro The
claim is for 81 100000.

London. JAN. 15.-The leading mari

sented at the international conference
OF yachtsmen which opened in London
today. cThe work of the conference is
to frame, if possible, rule for meas
uring yachts that will prove accept
able to all countries. At present there
are many different rules used. The
American yachting clubs have sent no
regular delegates, but have sent let
ter setting forth their views on the
subject. 1t is believed that the rule
now in force in the principal American
yacht clubs will receive favorable con-
sideratiOn at the conference.

the bill has the support of eastern
senators and members, among whom
the policy of free trade in raw ma
terials has taken a deep root in recent
years. The advocates of single state
hood for the territories are in deep
sympathy with opponents of the Phil
ippine bill. first because of the belief
OF many of them in the principle of
protection for raw materials, and Sec
ond because the men who are in favor
of Joining Arizona and New Mexico as
one state have all along given evidence
of fear that the admission of new
states threatens the supremacy of New
England and the east. 1t is more than
likely that the North Dakota delega-
tion will be found to be solidly op-
posed to putting Arizona and New
Mexico together as one state.
