Tho Bingham Brothers meeting Sun
day afternoon ''fer men only" attracted
an almost full house. The congregation
heard an excellent gospel sermon in which
tho verify and integrity Of the Bible were
strongly maintained. We suspect that
there was measure OF disappointment
experienced by 4 minority Of tho hearers
from tho fact that not a word was said
which would not have boon proper in u
mixed congregation. Doubtlessa few thus
heard a good sermon who would not
have been present but for the special an
nouncemen,.

Governor Mcdonald has expressed
his intention TO advocate the passage
OF state examiner law at the next
session OF the Assembly. The duties
OF the examiner and his assistants
will be TO check mp the accounts OF
state. city aud county officials and
keep them straight. After getting
once started this work can be done
by four or five examiners. and the
charge will doubtless. be $500 per day
instead of Sjooo per day as the cS-
rcris wanted to charge Conejos coun-
~ recently. In Ohio. with a popula-
ton OF nearly four aud half millions.
twenty men do this work OF cSamin-
alton. Ohio taxpayers are very we'll

China Gets Back Last OF the Cities They
Occupied In the war.
.spsciaI Cabe Dcspatehes 70 THE sun.

!spSc,GI Gable Dispatches to The SUN.
HoNGKoNo, Dec. 8.-The South China
Morning Post correspondent at Newchwang
telegraphs that the Japanese to-day turned
the city over to the Chinese and that the
Chinese hag has been hoisted over the public
buildings. Newchwang had been held by
the Japanese since the beginning Of the war
with Russia
TOXIC. Dec e.-The retrocession Of Ying-
kow, the port Of Newchwang, yesterday
morning completed the return to China
of all tn" Chinese cities taken possession
o: by che japanese in their military opera
tiors in Manchuria.
Commenting upon this, the newspapers
find that the only explanation of Russa's
continued occupation of North Manchuria
is that u Hung Chang sold Manchuria
to Russia while he was in attendance
upon the Cars coronation in Moscow
in 1890. China, they say, has recovered
South Manchuria only in consequence Of
Jupan's disinterestedness and her high
sense Of Justice, which makes China's re-
cent objections TO the manner of the resto-
ration extremely ungracious. China's
integrity. the newspapers declare. is threat
ened only from within.

FRENCH GOVERNMENT UPHELD
In the Moroccan Business and the AISeciras
Agreement Ratified.

Special cable Despatch 10 THE sun
PARIS, Dec. 6--Ex- Minister Jaures, the
Socialist leader. in the Chamber of Deputies
to-day attacked the Government for inter-
vening in Morocco and for invoking the
Germany hogey. He said that it was
dangerous to refuse Germany her share of
responsibility in Morocco and that il was
dangerous to coerce the Sultan lest he
should appeal to Germany. The latter was
enigmatica. sulxy and susceptible.
NJ. Jaures, while protesting friendship for
England, said that Great Britain was using
the Anglo French entente TO keep Germany
out of Morocco. France must tell England
that her agreement with her was for peace,
not war. and that she would not be England's
catspaw.
NJ. Pichon Minister Of Foreign Affairs
carried a great majority of the Chamber
with him in defending the government
on the lines OF the note France presented
to-day to the Ambassadors of the Powers
which participated in the Algeciras con-
ference. declaring that the aims of the
Government were only 20 carry out the terms
of the Algeciras agreement to maintain
order in Tangier and to protect foreigners.
The Chamber voted confidence in the
government by ma ajority Of 3ol. and after
wards unanimously ratified the Algeciras
agreement

DEATH OF ADMIRAL AsSERSON.
Expert in DRY Dock Building Long Service
In BROOKLYN NAVY Yard.

Rear Admiral Peter G. Asserson, retired
Civil Engineer of the navy and probably
its greatest expert in dry docks, died sud
denly early yesterday morning az his home,
ig5 Eighth avenue. Brooklyn. He was 90
years old. He retired from active service
nearlyfve yea ago when he reached the age
limit of 81 His service in the navy was TO
a great extent confined to constructing and
repairing dry docks in the Norfolk and
New York navy yards.
He served in the navy large part Of the
civil war. first as a mate and then as an
engineer He was a native of Virginia,
but he espoused the Mort hern cause. de
served as n mate from May p, 1852, TO
November of that year, when he became
an assistant engineer. In that capacity
he served in the navy until February, 1869,
when he resigned.
He had noted how poorly equipped the
navy yards were in facilities for repairing
and COnst ructing ships and he began the
study Of civil engineering TO enable him TO
reenter the service in another grade. Ac-
Cordingly in 1874, having taken his degree
and passed the proper examination, he
reentered the service as a civil engineer
and soon was stationed at the Norfolk yard,
where he remained nine years before be-
ing transferred 90 Brooklyn, where he
rounded out practically the rest OF his pro-
fessiona life. IL was through his energy
ana ability that Dry DOCK NO D. Wnlch
broke down soon after its construction.
several years ago, was rehabilitated when
most engineers thought it would have 10
lie abandoned. Even after his retirement
he was consulted by the Government in

no RID THE CITY or CROOKS.
Cen Bingham FaNOrs the Massachusetts
Law Declaring Certain LOiterers Vagrants.

Police Commissioner Bingham announced
yesterday that he is going TO make an effort
10 have bill passed by the next Legislature
seeking to rid the city of crooks. He ad-
mitted that he is wrought up over the I'M
usual number of burglaries committed
within the last few weeks, but he declared
that the laws as they stand to-day are re-
sponsible for the we've of crime.
Gen. Bingham intends TO have Third Dep
uty Commissioner Mathot draft a bill sim
liar 10 the one which was defeated in the
last session through the influence of Assem-
blyman Jimmy Oliver.
Commissioner Bingham wants a law that
will empower a police Magistrate to SEN
tsnce a professional thief TO six months i'm
prisonment if he IL found lettering on
steamship pier, at a railroad station, in the
financial district or on a crowded thorough
fare. The proposed bill will declare any
person who has been convicted Of felony
who cannot satisfactorily explain his pres
ence in places where crooks ply their craft
to be a vagrant.
Gen. Bingham explained that several
States have laws which put ban on crooks,
and he would like 10 see a measure passed
similar to one now in vogue in Massachu-
sotts, where known professional crooks are
committed on vagrancy charges and also
ralroaded out Of the State by the police.
