TORNADO IN GEORGIA
SEVERAL PERSONS ARE KILLED AT
 ALBANY.-
others VIII Die From Injuries Receiv- ed, and Hundreds of Negroes are Rendered Homeless by
 the storm.

Albany, Ga. Jan. 3.--A tornado of terrific force passed over Albany at 80 o'clock this afternoon coming from a southwesterly direction and spread ing ruin and desolation over portions of a dozen blocks. Several persons are dead, others will die as the result of injuries and many arc more or less se- riousIy hurt. The known dead are:
 Ben Jones. a negro machinist in the employ of the Carolina Chem ical Company; Jake Johnson, nine year old negro boy.
 Among those whose injuries will pro- bably prove fatal are: Luta Gladden., Jesse Davis. Annie Davis. Jessie Wood all.
 The list is still incomplete owing to the fact that much of the destruction wrought was well beyond the city limits. Reports from the tornado after 1t left Albany have not been received.
 Hundreds of negroes in the city are homeless tonight and many have lost their household effects. The injureI are being cared for and efforts are being made to secure sheltr for all This Is difficult owing to the scarcity of all kinds of dwelling houses in the city. Under direction of Mayor Ralston relief will be secured and promptly furnished those in the greatest distress.
 It is difficult to estimate the proper ty loss. The Virginia-Carolina Chemi- cal Company is the principal sufferer. It's destroyed buildings and machinery having been worth probably $60 900. It Is safe to say that the total loss will exceed $150.00o. Very little of the destroyed property was protected by ornado insurance. The Southern Bell Telephone Company is among-the heav- lest sufferers It's lines were down in several parts of the city.
 Some little apprehension is felt for Pretoria in the southwestern part of the country. The tornado came from that direction and as the telegraph wires are down nohing can be heard from there.

STATEHOOD BILL NOT READY
Philippine Tariff Measure Will Be TakeI Ia.


 Up in House.
 Washington, Jan. S.--The Dill re- ducing the duty on Philippine products will be the regular order Of business in the House of Representatives to- morrow and for several days thereafter instead of the Statehood bill, as had been previously arranged.
 This change was necessary because the Statehood bill is not ready to re- port. while the Philippine bin was re- ported before the holiday recess and is now on the calendar. The Statehood bill is in the hands of a sub-committee and some members of the sub-commit- tee will not arrive until next Monday. It Is necessary for the subcommittee to report to the full committee before the bill can be reported to the House.
 Although the Statehood bill is almost complete, there are some details yet to arrange, such as division lines for ju- dfcial districts in the new State Nor has the final draft of the prohibition amendment yet been made.
 It Is the intention of Mir. Hamilton, chairman of the committee. to re-intro- duce the bill after it has been perfected, so that amendments will not be neces- sary on the floor of the House. All this may put 1t over until the Philip pine tariff bill Is out of the way, all though there would not be any great opposition to displacing the Philippine bill in order to pass the Statehood bill, upon which extended debate is not ex- pected.
 No time has been set for the limit of debate on the Philippine bill. The measure. coming from the Ways and Means Committee. is privileged and can be taken up without a special rule :.
 Chairman Payne will open the debate on the bill tomorrow, according to present arrangements, and some mem bers of the minority are expected to reply

AJAX WHITMAN HURT.
New York Policeman Terribly Injured
 in Trying to Stop Runaway.

New York Jan. Skew York's strongest policeman. Ajax Whitman of the bicycle squad. the hero of many an exciting chase after runaway horses in upper Fifth Avenue, was horribly in- jured today while attempting to stop a pair of horses attached to a heavy ice wagon.
 Both of Whitman's legs were broken and he also received internal injuries
 Whitman was wheeling across Fifth Avenue near One Hundred and Twenty fifth Street when he saw the big pair of horses dragging the partially loaded ice wagon in a mad rush up the crowd ed avenue. He started at once in pur- suit of the runaways and when he reached a point opposite their heads sprang from his wheel and seized a bridle.
 He swung himself in front of the horses. the bit broke and the police- man fell to the pavement directly be- meath the feet of the plunging steeds. He escaped the flying hoofs but as the wagon passed over. his legs were caught in one of the wheels. Both legs were broken. Two mounted po- licemen who had come to Whitman's assistance, succeeded in stopping the runaways and the injured policeman was taken to a hospital
 Whitman is one of the best known men on the police force He had many medals which came to him through deeds of valor or prowess.

RIOTS AT SHANGHAI
DETAILS OF REGENT OUTBREAK AT CHINESE PORT.
Dissatisfaction over Action of British Assessor in ArrestinE Women and ChiIdren Pending Inves-
 tigatiOn for Kidnapping.

Victoria. B. C.. Jan. 3.-The steamer Empress of Japan, from Shanghai, brought details of the recent serious rioting there arising out of Chinese dissatisfaction with the action of the British assessor in arresting some Chi- nese women and children pending in Vestigation for kidnapping.
 The two women and three men were arrested charged with Kidnapping four young girls from Scheusen, and when the ease was remanded. the British as- sessor ordered the young girls to be taken. to a society, the Door of Hope. pending the trial. The Chinese magis- trate. Mir. Kuan. insisted that they be placed in the cells of the mixed court His runners attacked the foreign po- lice, who were defending them.
 The police, under Cadet officer Fen ton resisted. and riot ensued in which Inspector Gibson and some Chinese were slightly hurt. Finally, the police hurried the girls into vans and removed them.
 Threatened the Natives.
 The Chinese magistrate and his asso- ciates meanwhile shouted to the native municipal constable that if they obey ed the foreigners they would be pun ished severely under the Chinese law.
 These officers remained loyal, how ever. to their foreign employers. The magistrate and his associates managed to get the compound gates shut and the magistrate shouted to MT Fenton that the vans would pass only over his body. He was showed aside and the vans hurried through.
 When the incident was noised about the Chinese became greatly excited. and 1t was soon obvious that trouble was about to break out. The consuls conse- quently telegraphed for more warships. There were then three in the river. Tho first outbreak occurred In a grog shop which was wrecked.
 RIOtlnK Becomes General.
 Then a jinriksha store was footed and finally the riotinR was general. with the result that twenty Chinese and one Sikh policeman were killed and q large number wounded, including the diers in plain clothes were said to have taken part with the crowd.
 Chinese newspapers state that the trouble was due to rouEhs who took advantage of the mixed court troubles, intending to loot the foreign settle m.nts. Two British. one American, two Japanese. one Austrian and one Ger man warship were hurried to shan glai and landed troops. The rioting was stopped and armed patrols were kept marching in the streets when the liner sailed.
 The North China Daily News planes the wave of exultation" that has come over the Chinese since Japan defeated Russia for the outbreak.

A FIGHT ON DEPEW
RESOLUTION ASKING RESIGNATION
 FROM SENATE.
Democrats Ask Time ao Consider Their Action Upon Matter of Such Importnnee---XVithdra for
 The Time.

Albany, N. Y., Jan. 1..--The New York State legislature started off with a rush today. 's4
 Aside from the reading in both houses of the annual message of the Governor. the most important develop ments were the election of Speaker J. W. Wadsworth Jr., of Livingston, thus finally closing one of the most sem sationsI speakership campaigns of re- cent years; and a long debate in the Senate over Senator Brackitts resolu- ton requiring the resignation of Uni- ted States Senator Chuancey M. Depew on the ground of disclosures In con- nection with the Equitable Life As- surance Society. which ended in Sem ator Brackets withdrawal of the res olution for the time being.
 The debate on this resolution at- tracted the most attention. Senators Raines, Maltby anr Cogeshall led the defense of Senator Depew but joined Senator Bracket in the desire for They eulogized the junior senator on the score of many great public ser vices and urgently pleaded for the im- mediate defeat of the resolution.

 Senator Marks held that only a care fuI study. of the actual evidence taken in the insurance investigation rather than newspaper reports should be the basis of action in the matter of such great importance.
 Senator Bracket disclaimed any per sonal feeling against Senator Depew and declared. that his resolution was in no way consequent upon his for mer opposition of MT. Depew's re- election as Senator. He insisted that his act was prompted by a sense of nublio duty Tn the end, however, he asks leave to withdraw his resolution. Senator Raines objected to this, but the withdrawal was sustained by a vote of twcnty-seven to nineteen.

PREPARING
 FOR CONFLICT Germany and France
 Arc Active. SEE TROUBLE IN FUTURE Break Expected to Occur Over
 Morocco. yn Berlin There Ia No Attempt to Com ceaI the Fact That War Is Look cd for--Pretension in
 France.

Berlin, Jan. 3.-The railway adminis- tration placed orders last week Tor twenty thousand freight cars at cost Of $50O00 GOO with manufacturers or five countries, stipulating delivery py the middle of February besides utilizing the car works of Germany. These coun- tracts were distributed among makers in Belgium. Holland. Switzerland. and Italy. which would not have been done unless some reasons for haste existed.
 Inquiries made regarding the reasons for urgency resulted in obtaining the sta tement that the ordering of the cars was a precautionary measure, the gen. eraf stan desiring to be ready to move troops if necessary by the first of March, This is only proper measure Of prudence. it was affirmed here. in view Of the extensive military arrange nents going on in France, which among other sdIsp0sitions include the move ments toward the German frontier of six regiments of artillery or 1so guns
 The ordering of these freight cars each of which would accomodatc forty soldiers or would enable the authori- ties to transport material is only in consequence of the French preparations and must not be taken to indicate any hostile design on the part of Germany whose peaceful intentions remain un- changed
 Preparing for Break'
 The step taken Is due to the couYic- tion long held here that the best preser- vative of peace is in the preparedness of any evenuaiity.
 The word war is not used because such word in itself would be provoca- tive, and every interest fin and outside the government shrinks from such q possibility, unless it be a small group of military men.
 The government will probably regret the publication. of this intelligence, but it's transmission seems necessary to a proper understanding of the drift or events and how both France and Ger many are strengthening their diplo- matic position on the evesof the Moroe- can conference by material prepara- tions.
 No doiIbt exists here that French and German policies will differ in she conference in the question of policing the Moroccan aud Algerian frontier and on some less important questions
 According to the terms of agree ment to hold the conference, all par ticipating powers must agree to the conclusion of the conference or the situation reverts to the status quo. In other words, if at the conference, all the powers except one agree as to a plan for international control or Morocco, the conference will have been fin vain and If the situation becomes as it was before the powers assented to call the conference, serious disa- greements between those specially in- tered may arise.

BETTER MAIL SERVICE.
The Frisco VIII Put on Another Fast
 Train.

Washington, Jan. 3.-T. F. Franks, representing the Frisco Railroad Sys- tenn; w. F. Saunders, representing the business mems league. in company with Representatives Shartel of Missouri and Campbell of Kansas, today had q con- ference with the Postmaster General and the Second Assistant Postmaster General, the result of which was an agreement on the part of the railroad to install an early morning fast mail train from St. Louis to Morett and connecting points at an early date probably the 24th instant.
 This step. it is announced, will af- ford greatly improved fast mail facili- ties to all territory trlbu.ary to the railroad system.
 At the same time the railroad agreed to shorten the schedule of ,Ae train so as to arrive at St. Louis at ' a. m. from Monett, with the understa dlng that tho department will avail itself of thc opportunity to separate mails on that train for first carrier delivery in St Louis, thus enabling southwest Mis- souri, Oklahoma and territory tribu- tary to the road to expedite greatly mail to business houses of St. Louis

MERE CHANGE OF METHODS.
Socialist War Minister Has Givei
 Place to Active Man.


 Place to Active Man.
 Paris, Jan. 3.-The Ambassador of one of the powers said today that careIul inquiry had convinced him that the recent revival of French military ac- tivity which has given rise to aiarmiss reports was due mainly to change from the military methods of M. ser teaux, the late Minister of War; 10 those of R. Etienne. the present war Minister.
 NJ. Berteaux belonged to the Social ists, whose cardinal principle Is opposi- tion to war and a reduction of military expenditures. This naturally resulted in inactivity in military preparation.
 M. Etienne. on the contrary, Is not afiiiated with the Socialists. but repre- sents the energetic element which maintains that the country should pre- pare to meet every eventuality. M. Berteauxs precipltate resignation on November 10. brought M. Etienne into control of the military administration, and he immediately adopted vigorous policy, not for beligerent purposes, but in expectation of the general desire to have the army in a perfect state of ef- ficiency.
 He appealed to the budget committee of the Chamber of Deputies for excep- tional military credits, the details of
 
 doors, and he also instituted careful inquiry into the requirements of the frontier defences, which the last in- spectlon of General Negrier disclosed to be in a lamentable state of ineffi- ciency. M. Etienne proceeded system at.caiiy to remedy these and other de- fects, thus placing the army and all the equipments and defensive works in a proper state of efficiency.
 This coming cofncident with the Franco German issue over Morocco led to a widespread impression that he military preparations are designed to meet eventualities arising from the Moroccan controversy.
 While Morocco may have accentuated the need for military alertness. yet the chief cause of the recent military &C., tivity is the adoption of Nj. Etienne's energetic policy of having the army ready to fulfill its functions whenever required.
