yesterday that the cardinal is the one

PRESIDENT GIVES
MEDAL TO PEARY
SAYS ARTIC EXPLORER DESERVES
HONOR AS EXAMPLE OF MEN
HARDY VIRTUES.

Washington, December 15-At the an
nual dinner tonight of the National Geo
graphical society, Commander Robert E.
Peary was presented with a gold medal
for having reached "Farthest North"
President Roosevelt was the guest of
honor and made the presentation. He ar
rived shortly after II clock and his en-
trance into the banquet hall was the
signal for general outburst of ap-
plause.
The President spoke as follows:
Civilized people usually live under con-
ditions of life so easy that there is a
certain tendency to atrophy of the harder
virtues. And it is a relief to pay signal
honor to man who by his achieve
ments makes it evident that in some of
the race at least there has been no loss
of hardy Virtue. Z
You turning TO Commander Peary),
the man whom we join to honor tonigllt
you who for months in and months out.
year in and year out had to face perils
and overcome the greatest difficulties
resting on your shoulders the undivided
responsibility which meant life or death
TO you or your followers; you had to
show in addition what the modern COM
mander with his great responsibility does
not have to show. You had to show all
the moral qualities in war; together with
other qualities. You did a great deed, a
deed that counted for all mankind. a
deed which reflected credit upon you and
upon your country, and ON behalf OF
those present, and speaking also for the
millions of pOnnfrVn1an I take O.
ure in handing you this Hubbard medal,
and in welcoming you home from the
great feat which you have performed,
Commander Peary' prolonged applause).

HURLS HIMSELF UPON ONE

st. Petersburg. December 15.-Admral
Doubassoff, formerly governor of Moscow,
was the object of a desperate attempt at
assassination today in which he received
slight injuries. Three men, believed to be
terrorists, participated in the attack,
which took place While the admiral was
walking along a secluded path of the Tau
ride garden, in which the lower house of
parliament Is situated.
A young man dressed as a workmen ap-
preached and fired seven shots from a
revolver, but missed, owing to his ner-
vousness. The terrorist turned and ram
with the admiral in pursuit Seeing that
his capture was imminent. Doubassoff' s
assailant turned, drew a bomb from his
pocket and hurled it al his pursuer Dou-
bassolr was thrown to the ground by the
force of the explosion. At that moment
watchman ran up and seized the ter
rorlst.
AS the admiral was rising from the
ground a second terrorist appeared and
threw a second bomb at him, which
passed over his head and did not
explode. The second terrorist then fired
three SnotS from q revolver at The ad-
miral and missed him. Doubassoff threw
himself upon the terrorist, dsarmed and
held him until he was seized by the po-
lice. The two terrorists were taken to
the nearest police station A third ter
rorlst succeeded in escaping.
The attempt on Admiral Doubassoffs
life today is connected with the trials
of the Moscow revolutionists, now in
progress at Moscow. His assailants are
supposed to be workmen from that city
who were seeking to avenge their COM
rades. some Of whom have already peen
condemned to DEATH Owing TO the re-
cept of letters warning him that an at
tempt would be made upon his life. Dou-
bassoff permitted the police of St Peters
burg to take extraordinary precautions
during the marriage of his daughter,
week ago. when all the streets on ,he
way from the admiral's residence to the
church were closed during the passage Of
the bridal party. The admiral, however,
persisted in going out for walks without
escort

VON BUELOW'S RULE
MAY SOON Be ENDED
Impassioned Speech IS s +
gestive of Bismark {
FREE OF ALL TRAMMELS
Politicians Say the German Chancellor
Took His Life in His Own Hands
In Ordering the Emperor to
Dissolve the Rechstag.

Berlin December 15.-The political for
tunes of the imperial chancellor Prince
Won Buelow, are regarded both among
statesmen and other persons about the
court, as having been placed in jeopardy
solve the reichstag.
Politicians are already saying that if
an adverse majority is returned to the
reichstag, Won Buelow's chancellorship
will be ended. 1t may be said that he
took his political life in his hands De
cember 3, and he evidently was under
the inspiration that comes of taking
great risks, for he spoke as one trans
formed, his manner being wholly differ
ent from anything the reichstag had ever
seen in him. The chancellors smooth.
diplomatic bearing born of the desire to
please as many parties as possible in
a house divided into fourteen groups, was
dropped. and he spoke with such reck-
lessness of the consequences that he
created the impression that new Won
Buelow was speaking.
Won Buelow appears to feel that he
will remain in office few years longer
at the best, and he has determined to do
something to secure the reputation of be-
ing an independent statesman. The chan
cellor on Thursday showed degree of
passion in his speech that no one sup
posed he was capable of. His face red
dened and he shook with such energy near
one part of his address that a deputy of
the Prussian diet sitting in the gallery,
remarked aloud, bismarck could not
have done better.
The chancellor evidently felt that he
was for the first time in his parliamen-
tary career freeing himself of all tram
mels. His courage was the occasion of an
outbreak of spontaneous enthusiasm HIS
breach with the clerical party was planned
beforehand, conditional upon its continued
opposition to the governments meas
ures.
Colonial Director Dernberg's attack on
Herr Boessen, the clerical leader in the
yeichstae. December 3, was made accord
ing to the trustworthy authority with
tbe express consent of the chancellor,
who fullv expected the party to use the
erst opportunity to retaliate The fact
mat n Is not certain that the govern
rnent will secure a majority at the com
ING elections and the uncertainty regard
ing it's composition, If majority is Sc
cured. throws a favorable light upon the
chancellor's courage.
