trary to her custom, Thaw's wife re-
manned with him only few minutes to-
day. She usually remains an hour.
Visited by Mother and Sister.
The prisoners mother, Mrs. William
Thaw. accompanied by his sister, Mrs.
George l.. Carnegie, visited Thaw at the
Tombs again today. A large crowd was
assembled TO get glimpse of Thaw
The prisoner seemed very glad TO meet
them both and very affecting scene
took place. On their arrival Thaw lost
the air of excitement he had worn In the
early morning.
Mrs. Thaw and Mrs. Carnegie remained
at Harry Thaw's cell as long as the pris-
on rules permitted. 1t was reported about
the Tombs after she left that Mrs. Thaw
FeprOached her son for dismissing Mr.
Olcott and insisted that he should con-
tinue to act as Thaw's counsel, and that
a stormy interview passed. In which
Thaw maintained that he had acted wise
ly in the dismissal. There were tears in
Mrs Thaw's eyes when she left the
prison. The services of twenty-five po-
icemen were needed to make a passage
way for her to the carriage.
Mothers Second Visit.
Shortly after noon, Mrs. Thaw returned
70 the Tombs prison and seemed to be
laboring under much excitement. In an
agitated manner she begged the war
den for permission to visit her son again,
repeatedly declaring that it was of the ut
most Importance. The warden consented
and she was escorted to his cell.
While Mrs. William Thaw was in con-
ference with her son, Harry, the latter
asked the warden to summon his wife to
the prison, saying he wanted her to come
to his cell alone and meet his mother in
his presence. The younger Mrs. Thaw
went to the Tombs, accompanied by
Clifford W. Hatrridge, her husband s
lawyer but went to the cell alone while
Mrs William Thaw was still there. They
soon summoned Mr. Hartridge. After
brief conference, the mother and Mrs.
Harry K. Thaw left the prison in com
pany for the first time.

The Last Straw.

The adoption by the lower house OF
parliament of an address to the country
will. it is feared, place in the hands OF
the TedctiOniStS the needed lever to move
the emperor. NJ. Petraji tski vainly warned
the lower house yesterday of the serious
ness of the proposed step, but the major
ity of the Constitutional Democrats, OF
which party he is a prominent member
seem convinced that they must hold
the peasants at all hazards. The mem
bers of the extreme left seemed to court
fight, preaching open revolution from
the rostrum. The NOvOe Vremya, which
often reflects the views of the court, says
today that the adoption by the lower
house of an address to the country would
go beyond the jurisdiction of parliament
and virtually constitute an appeal from
the government to the people.
Oil Upon the Flames.
with its adoption parliament would
cross the Rubicon, abandon its prpofeSSed
policy of trying to restrain the country
and instead of pacifying it deliberately
pour oil on the flames"
Dispatches from the interior continue To
tell without interruption stories of the
burning of manor houses, robberies, MUIR
ders, collisions between peasants and
rural guards and the hurried dispatch OF
troops here and there. The center of the
peasants uprising is VOronezh province
where the peasants, in their mania for
the destruction of property, do not dis
criminate between friends and enemies
as evidenced by the complete devastation
of the estate of NJ. Kokoshkine one of
the most prominent Constitutional Demo
Gratis i'm the lower house. Todays re-
ports describe the situation in that prov
ince as hopeless from the standpoint
of the landlords. The situation is almost
as bad in Boltava and SmOlenSk provinces.
In TambOv province eighty peasants are
reported TO have been killed or wounded
by dragons.

Ice on the River.

The warmer weather and rain of last night
are having softening effect on the ice COW
erng the river, but it is still hard enough
to give the tugs and steamers considerable
trouble when packed together by the wind.
The big naval tug Triton. which left the
navy yard yesterday morning bound to
Indian Head encountered packed ice off
Fort Foote, short distance below AleXan-
dria. and though the tug is one of the most
powerful in service on the river, she had
considerable trouble in towing the barge
through the pack, having been obliged to
let go the barge and break a track before
she could continue down the river
The tugs NJ Mitchell Davis and Radiant
came into port yesterda.- evening ahead of
two loaded oil barges and 1t is stated that
they found the ice quite heavy at points
down the river. Wednesday night the har
Dor was frozen over for the first time this
winter and the river was also frozen from
shore to shore. In the channel the ice was
not over an inch In thickness, but in the
creeks and on the flats it is reported TO
have attained thickness of about two or
three inches. The ice, as has been stated.
is not heavy enough to interfere at all
seriously with the movements of the steam
boats.
Reports coming from Chesapeake bay are
that the steamers running to the upper
end of the bay from Baltimore have been
withdrawn from service on account OF the
heavy ice A day or two of the mild
weather promised by the weather bureau
will remove all danger of the Potomac pc
ing closed to navigation for the present, but
on Immediate return of cold weather will
soon close the river to all except the big

FIGHT FOR FORTUNE.
New Developments in Contest for
Cline Millions

FREDERICK, Md, December 2s.-Ex-
Mayor Aquilla R. Yeakle of Frederick has
been Informed that the proceedings brought
In behalf of his niece, Miss Waletta May
feakie, who Is seeking a share of the
S2,5OO,000 estate left by her grandfather,
Col. George T. Cline, filed in the probate
court of Chicago. holds him responsible for
the fact that she was kept in ignorance
of the former proceedings in the case, and
that she was represented by an attorney
who had not Been authorized to act for her
While the specific complaint in the pro-
ceedings was that Mr.. Frederick T. Marx
had appeared for the girl and consented
to the sale of large piece of property. the
transaction involves the integrity Of the
trustees in their dealings. including the
sale of 1000 acres, which is part of the
town site of Garry, Ind
Mr.. Frank ]. Loesch, attorney for the
trustees, says he was not aware of the
existence of Walletta May Yeakle until
month after the petition for the sale of
the property was filed. The petition, he
SAID, was to get rid of the claim of Mrs
Louise {. Bender Cline, who claimed to be
the widow of Col. Cline.
Mr.: Loesch said he had written to Mr.
1eakle as executor of Mrs. Mary l.. Yeakle
and asked that he get the consent of all of
her heirs to have Marx represent them in
court. Mr.. Yeakle, it is said gave consent
without consulting one of the heirs one of
them being Miss Yeakle, his niece The
transaction is explained by Mr.. Yeakle in
his answer that he was the sole executor
of his mothers estate. and he believed that
as sHch he had the right to give his con-
sent to have the heirs represented in
court.
1t is understood that during their legal
ENHANCEMENT Miss Yeakle is in a convent
in Fort Wayne, Ind, perfecting her educa-
ton. If the litigation is successful she
will obtain approximately $4,000. Her
stepfather and her mother, Judge and Mrs.
Louis c. Swerdfeger, have taken this
course to prevent her attention being de-
tracted from her studies.
At his home last night Mr.. Yeakle stated
that the trustees represent three fourths of
the estate and they have acted in the mat
ter to the best of their ability. He said
the trustees do not think Miss Yeakle is
entitled to a share of the estate under the
will of Col. Cline LAS the matter now
stands" he said, the case is in the hands
of the court, and should it be decided that
she is an heir under the will, then she
will get her money" .-..,.
The estate is divided into four shares
two will come to Frederick, one to the
heirs of eX-Mayor Yeakles mother and the
other to Nicholas Cline. brother of Col.
Cline. Mr. Yeakle expects to return to
Chicago in a few days and remain there
until the court decides the case.

SUBWAY TO hELP BROOKLYN
John B. Mcdonald Submits a New
Bridge Loop Scheme.

NEW YORK, December 2S-John r No
Donald, the builder of the present suhvav
submitted a brand new subway loon promo
sition for the relief of Brooklyn at yester-
days meeting of the rapid transit board
Mr.. Mcdonald said that 1t was his personal
plan and that in submitting it he did not
represent anyone but himself
Mr.. Mcdonald is now private contract
or, having ceased his connection with both
the Ryan and Belmont interests some time
ago. He denied that he was acting for th,
present traction interests.
One Of the features of the plan and one
that Mr.. Mcdonald laid great stress upon
was that it does not make any use of the
Brooklyn bridge, which has formed one of
the links in all other subway loop schemes.
Mr.. Mcdonald contends that the BROOKLYN
bridge is already overworked and would
have to be rebuilt before it could form
part Of any such scheme. The Mcdonald
plan uses the Manhattan bridge instead.
The Mcdonald route would start at Broad
and Water streets and would go up Broad
to Nassau to Park row to Center to De-
lancey and through the latter street to the
Williamsburg bridge. After crossing the
bridge and the plaza at the Wilia msburg
end, the road would go underground
through Bedford avenue to Lafayette ave-
nue. to Fulton street and Fort Greene place
and down Fulton to F1atbush avenue where
the Manhattan bridge is to terminate. After
crossing the Manhattan bridge the route is
through Canal street to Center street again
This route would be about eight miles
long and would have seventeen stations
The Mcdonald proposition is for a two
track subway over this route. Getting on
a train at Water street. Mr.. Mcdonald said
that passenger could easily reach Flush
ing avenue in twelve minutes.

the Last to Use It.

NEW YORK, December 2S.-The presence
of mind of Miss Mamie Long and Miss Jen-
ME Lynch. employees of a candy factory on
the sixth floor of building on East 10th

which the candy establishment was located.
The girls were unaware of the fire until
their escape by the stairs and elevators
was cut off. The room in which they were
working quickly filled with smoke. Many
of the young women became panic-stricken
and threatened to jump from the windows
to the street.
Miss Long and Miss Lynch, who were
thoroughly familiar with the building
clasped hands and calling upon the other
girls TO follow. CROPPED their way through
the dense smoke to the fire escapes In the
rear After the last of the thirty girls was
safely on the fire escape the rescuers
climbed out themselves All reached the
street without injury.

THEY ARE DIGGING.
Letter to Lackey Says We May Have
Canal Before We Die,

BALTIMORE, December 2S.-Mr Oscar
F. Lackey, who until recently was engaged
IN engineering work in the Panama canal
zone, has received an interesting letter from
Mr. Benjamin L. Jacobson, dated Culebra,
December II. 1t throws interesting light
on the situation there, and shows that there
Is a spirit Of progress and accomplishment
among the men who are doing the work
Mr.. Jacobson says in part:
Another year is coming to a close and
the canal is still incomplete. But it is a
year toward completion, I assure YOU The
amount of work that has been done is ha rd-
ly describable. Not only have houses, roads
and Waterworks been built, but actual
canal construction has been carried on to
an extent which proves beyond doubt that
Stevens is great.
His organization is now clearly lnder-
stood, and its effect is plainly felt by every
one, large or small, connected with the en-
terprise. His Culebra staff consists of
plain construction men, but quartet of
men who are doing things
when you consider that only about fif-
teen to twenty steam shovels are actively
engaged, and that only about rs per cent
of the Panama railroad double track is
completed, that the labor question has only
recently been solved by the employment of
a goodly percentage of European labor
Spanish and Italian, and that it has rained
harder than it has since 1SSS-the rainfall
in twenty-four hours amounting to six
mcheS-it becomes very plain that more
than sixty steam shovels, a complete
double-track railroad and more of the kind
of labor we are now getting will realize
the million yards a month we dreamed of
eighteen months ago without doubt We
are going to have a canal before we die,
just as certainly as we know that Christ
mas is going to come once a year.
THE labor question, as l have said has
been solved by the employment of Euro
cents hOnr ba 10
Dor is as good as any in the world, turning
out good days work, and the men are
able to stand the climate a great deal bet
ter than the West Indian negroes.
1.-THE feeding is also matter of history.
Hotels have been built in most of the sta
lions, in which good meals are now served
at 80 cents. All the old-tme kickers have
either disappeared or are now satisfied. and
everything in the eating line is getting
along lovely.
1.-THE quarters question is getting along
beautifully also. The old French houses
are being replaced by large clean American
type quarters, and six more months will see
the definite solution of this question So Won
there is nothing left now but canal dig
ging, and that is sure being done"
