ITALIANS CLASH
 WITH RUSSIANS
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION IN PENNSYLVANIA COAL FIELDS
 RESULTS IN SEVERAL BROKEN
 HEADS AMONG THE ITALIANS.

Washington, Pa, January 7.-Celebra- tion of the Russian Christmas by miners of that nationality at the Meadowlands coal works four miles from here, caused a race riot this afternoon between Rus sians and Italians, in which one mans skull was fractured woman with child in her arms was knocked down with a brick and others received serious in- juries.
 The Russians began their celebration of Christmas last midnight by setting off dynamite. The explosions were so heavy that several windows in the homes of Italians were shattered. The Italians rushed the merry makers, capturing sew eraI whom they bound and placed In vacant houses where they were found by friends this morning. This evening the Russians armed themselves with bricks. stones and clubs and attcked the Italian quarters. Mrs Anna Politono, who was sitting at a window nursing her baby, was struck with a brick and knocked 10 the floor Pietro Marelli received blow with club which fractured his skull. Some of the homes were entered by fore ing the doors and hand-to-hand fights were many Few of the belligerents es- caped unhurt, and about dozen, chiefly Italians. received serious injuries. About two hundred men engaged in the rioting.
 The coal and iron police are patrolllng the settlement tonight and arrests of the leaders will be made in the morning.

GAYNOR AND GREEN
 CASES ON TUESDAY
CHARGED WITH DEFRAUDlNG GOVERNMENT OF TWO MILLION
 DOLLARS IN CARRYING OUT sA.
 vANNAH HARBoR CONTRACTS.

Savannah, Ga. January 7.-The cases against John F. Gaynor, Benjamin D. Greene, William Gaynor, Edward Gay nor and former Captain Oberhn M Car ter will be called In the United States court for the Southern district of Georgia on Tuesday, January g. Judge Emory Speer who is to preside, and the prose- cutting officers, and court officials, are expected to arrive tomorrow from Macon and all is in readiness for the opening of the cases of the defendants who are charged with having defrauded the United States government out of some S2,OOoO0O in the earring out of Savannah harbor contracts.
 Gerard & Meldrim and Osborne & Law renee of this city represent the defend- ants, and James Gaynor of New York, attorney and brother of the defendant Gaynor, is also here. Special Assistant United States Attorney General Marion Erwin assisted by Assistant District At torney Alexander Alderman will prose cute. It is understood that both sides will announce ready for the trial, though de- murrers to the indictments recently fe md against the defendants will be sub n tied by the defendants attorneys.
 1he defendants will seek to have the court admit them or their attorneys when the names of the jurors to try the cases are drawn from the box. The court is yet to pass upon their petition to secure this concession. It is the hope of the de- fense that jurors may be secured from this division of the district, their idea being to obtain jurors who may in some measure be familiar with harbor work. The summoning of the jurors will con sume several days, so 1t Is believed that it will be the latter part of the week, or the first of the next week before the cases come to trial It has been admitted by the special assistant United States at torney general that former Captain Car ter will not be brought to trial again and there is speculation as to whether or not William and Edward Gaynor will be tried. It is possible that the indictments against them will be dismissed and that John F. Gaynor and Greene will be the sole de- fendants.
 Brig. Gen. Thomas Francis Barry, re- tired, who was judge advocate in the courtmartial of Captain Carter eight years ago, arrived today as witness for the government. R. H. Wyman detailed by the attorney general as official stenog- rapher to report the cases, also arrived. It is not thought Captain Carter will ap- pear as a witness.

BASEBALL RULES.
Important Changes Are to Be Made
 in Classification.

Chicago, January 7.-Chairman Shivley of the committee to revise the oonstitu- ton of the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues adjourned the scheduled session of that body to- day owing to the inability of two of the members to be present. President J. D. O'Brlen os the American association and Harry Taylor of the Eastern league faii- ed to reach here in time for the meet ing, and 1t was postponed until tomor- row
 There will be lot of changes made in the constitution said Chairman Shv- ley today, some of them of slight im- portanee and few of vital interest to all the minor leagues l think the chief alteration will be a clause giving the Class A teams a power equal to all the remaining clubs. This Is a right the big gest of the minor leagues have been fight ing for long time and 1t was practical ly guaranteed to them when the American association came in under the national agreement.
 "The Class A teams will have a major ity on the board of arbitration as the plan is now arranged There are five members of the board and three of them will have to be Class A men. There is probably fight ahead over the question of who the five men will be on the board of arbitration"

French Bankers May Make Some Temporary Advances
RUSSIANS ENJOY CHRISTMAS
pissensiOns Which Have Torn and Distracted the Country Seem to Have Disappeared for the
 Moment.

Paris, January I'M. Kokovsoff, former Russian minister of finance. who came here to negotiate another Russian loan, practically confirms the statement made in these dispatches yesterday that the loan having been postponed, French bank CTS are now considering the making Of temporary advances in order to support the stability of Russian finances
 In the course of an interview today, M. Kokovsoff made a statement relative to Russia's real commercial position. He said:
 ''The budget for 1906. which is about to be presented to the council of the em- pire, comprises an extraordinary budget of S246,5OO, 00O of which only S50OO'0o Is covered by the excess of revenue from the ordinary budget. Thus $241, ,50OO0o remain to be provided. Three of the heaviest items included therein are provisions for repa- triation of the troops in the far east; their maintenance their return to Russia, and the reimbursement of Japan's outlay for the Russian prisoners of war. Other smaller extraordinary expenses include the maintenance of the families of reserv- istes, succor for the victims of distress, railroad construction. the mobilization or troops owing to strikes and subventions for the naptha industry"
 M. Kokovsoff said Russia could with out difficulty put an internal loan to meet the expenses. but it was considered preferable not to float 1t until the sec ond half of the year, in order not to affect the proper administration of the ha was thought desirable to arrange for for eign operations similar to that indicated yesterday, which would be of quite normal character.
 In conclusion, M. Kokovsoff said:
 "The difficulties through which we have just passed, though grave, were never sufficiently serious to affect Russian credit"

 Washington, January Trade between the United States and Germany, whose commercial relations are now the subject of negotiations between the two govern ments aggregated in the fiscal year 1905 over O.OOO,OOO.
 A report issued today by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. says:
 "The imports from Germany were $11s.- GOO 900 in value. and exceeded imports from that country in any earlier year. The ex- ports to Germany were S194,OOOOOO in value and exceeded our exports to that country in earlier year. except 1904, in which the total was a little over $214,000,000 this de- crease in 1905 compared with 1904 having occurred in raw cotton. and being due altogether to a fall in price, since the quantity in 1905 was greater than in 1904. Imports from Germany increased $SI,- O0OOOO in the period from 1895 to 1905, and the exports to that country increased $102, GOO, ,O00 in the same time.

HADLEY WILL 60
 TO SUPREME COURT
WILL USE THIS METHOD TO TRY TO GET ROGERS AND OTHER STANDARD OIL MEN TO AM SWER QUESTIONS.

New York, January 7-Attorney General Hadley of Missouri said tonight that he probably would ask for a hearing In the supreme court in this city on Wednesday or Thursday to determine whether II. H. Rogers and other directors of the Stand ard oil company must answer questions at the hearing before Commissioned San born regarding the control of oil com panies operating in Missouri.
 T do not care, of course,' he said, "to have anybody committed for contempt. l shall ask the court to have the wit nesses directed to answer certain ques- tlons which they have declined to answer. If the court orders them to answer. and they still refuse shall have to leave to the court the question of contempt, A refusal to answer In such a case would be next best for my purpose as to an an- swer in the affirmative. since It would be equivalent to an admission"

 Raw cotton Is by far the largest single item in our exports to Germany, amount ing in 1905 to $S700O, O,000 In value, as com pared with exports of $43, ,00O,000 in value in 1895. The increase, however, Is due In part to the general advance in the price of cotton. Lard exports to Germany in 1905 amounted to practically Sl500000O in value, while exports of provisions of all classes, including lard. amounted to $21.- 0OOo00. against about $13,OO0,00O in 1895.
 "Breadstuffs form less important fac tor in our trade with Germany than for merly owing to the great falling off in the quantity, which the United States is now able to spare to the outside world
 Imports from Germany formed in 1905 10.7 per cent of the total importations into the United States, and exports to that country in the same year 12S per cent of the total exports to that country in the same year Germany's figures show that imports from the United States in 1904 formed 14.S per cent of her total imports, and that exports to the United States formed 9.6 per cent of her total exports"

RussIsns Enjoy Christmas.

St. Petersburg, January 7.-Fine snow sitting down from cold sky furnished ideal weather for the Russian Christmas so far as St. Petersburg was concerned. All the theatres and other places of pub lie amusement. even the restaurants were closed, and the day was given up to the proverbial hospitality.
 The dissensions which have torn and distracted the country seemed to have disappeared for the moment, and even the radical newspapers, animated by the senti- ment of peace and good will to all, silenced their guns.
 The day passed quietly and without un- toward incident. The religious services Tn the churches were largely attended.
 At the palace at Tsarskoe-Selo the Elm peror himself presided at the Christmas tree Later accompanied by the imperial children his majesty visited the quar- ters of his imperial Cossack escort, to the members of which he distributed presents.

KILLER IS coMPLAcENT.
Thinks Investigation Into Murder
 Will Fully vindicate Him.

New Haven, Conn.,, January 7.-Develop- ments in the matter of the death of Charlesc A. Edwards were few today. Late in the afternoon three persons were summoned to the coroner's office. Two of them remained there for a time. They are unknown to the newspaper men here. The third was Charles A. Hitler, who was with the coroner for several hours.
 Maxcy Hitler is standing the strain of the ordeal through which he is passing surprisingly well. With those who saw him today he talked calmly and with q tone of confidence in his complete vindi- cation.
 Tonight 1t was understood that two headquarters detectives have been as- signed to the Hitler homestead, and that until the inquest Is completed Charles A Hitler will be under as close guard as is his brother, A. Maxcy Hitler. Today while Charles Hitler was out for long walk two detectives kept him in sight

Seeks to Secure SuPprI Q
 the Other Powers
WAR TALK IS LESS EVIDENT
Appointment of the Italian Delegate Is Regarded as a Feather in Frances Cap. important Con
 ference in Rome,

Paris, January 7.-Pub1ic uneasness over the Moroccan conference has undergone 8 distinct improvement. This is-aue main- ly to the confident attitude of the of fcials of the foreign office who consider the election by the Italian government of Marquis Visconti Venosta to head its delegation, as strengthening the position of France. It is evident that the officials hold the view that if France can secure the support of the great powers having tangible control in the Mediterranean and in Morocco, it will be difficult for Ger many to stand against the force of this moral influence. Therefore, Italy's choice of the Marquis Viscontl Venosta who was one of the earliest advocates of the Franco-Italian entente, strengthens the governments expectation of the united support of the leading Mediterranean powers
 Martial Tone of Press Dimlnlshes.
 The martial tone of the press has con- sderably diminished and the sensational branch of it no longer prints alarmist reports of the frontier preparations. None the less, the public and press continue, though with greater calmness, to discuss the imperative need of competing military preparations.
 Now that the French delegates are pre- pairing to start for Algeciras, there is evil dence of the greatest hrmness in uphold ing the French position. the essential fea- ture of which is that France, through her geographical proximity to Morocco, which Is analogous to that of the posi- ton of the United States toward Cuba, and through her vast Algerian borders, is justly entitled to have g special and privileged position in Morocco
 Germany Has Never Yielded.
 Germany. while yielding much, has never clearly yielded the claim of France to a special position in Morocco. This is the vital issue, and the minor questions regarding police, customs, finance and contraband can be adjusted once it is definitely settled whether France has or has not special and privileged position in Morocco.
 If the French position Is upheld, the conference, it is expected will charge France with the police, customs and other duties. Against this Germany will seek to secure international control of the police customs and other matters, thus giving all nations, including Germany, the same status in Morocco as that of France.
 The French delegates will start without the slightest thought of yielding or com promising the essential principles of Frances privileged position, and therein lies the danger of the Franco German outlook.
 The Berlin correspondent of the Temps say that Germany, following the action of the United States and Great Britain, is sending a squadron to Algeciras. The pa per says that France thus far has not ordered a squadron to the neighborhood of the conference It adds that three British squadrons, comprising the chan mel. home and cruiser suuadrons will rendezvous in Cadiz bay, near Algeciras, in the middle of February.
