FIGHT IN TUNNELL
Two Men in Death Struggle Far Below the Surface of the
 Earth in New York
POLICEMAN ON SCENE

New York, Dec 31.--Far below the surface of the earth in an air lock of the McAdoo tunnel under North river two men fought to-day until one of them was stretched out unconscious with fracture of the skull, which may cause his death. When pa trOlman who had been summoned was lowered into the caisson he found seven men standing around the pros- trate form of John Lundening. Soon after the policeman arrived the in- jured man recovered consciousness for a moment and pointed out Chris topher Lynch as his assailant. He said that Lynch struck him over Ihe head with pick handle. The cause of the trouble could not be learned.
 Nearly half an hour was consumed in removing the wounded man and the policeman and his prisoner from the tunnel. They were obliged 70 pass through three air locks where the heavy atmospheric pressure un- der which the men work ill the lower tunnel is gradually reduced. When the party reached the surface Lun- dening was sent to hospital and Lynch 10 police station.

RAISE THEIR PAY
Senate Committee Thinks Con. gressmen Should Receive
 Double Their Salaries
ALL WANT A LITTLE

Washington, Dec 31.--The sub- committee of the senate committee on appropriations, which for the rast week has been considering the leg.s- lative, executive and judicial appro- priation bill with the view of getting it in shape for the full committee, has considered the question of ill., creasing the salaries of senators and members of the house of representa- tives, and while no unalterable pro- gram has been agreed upon, 1t now seems probable that the sub-com- mittee will recommend an advance of fifty per cent on congressional sala- ries. The subcommittee is practical- ly unanimous in the opinion that such an increase should be made, but there is general feeling that the house should have inserted the pro vision. It also looks as if the com mittee would recommend that the provision for increasing the salaries of the yice-presldent. the speaker, and cabinet officers should be eliml- hated unless corresponding increase shall be secured for senators and members.
 Many members of the committee express the opinion that the senate should be given an opportunity to pass upon the subject and will adyo- cate the incorporation of an amend ment in the bill by the cOmmittea covering the entire subject.

KILLING OFF GAME.
Supply of Deer Will Not Meet the
 Demand in Maine.

Augusta, Me, Dec 31.-The opin- ion that the supply of deer in Maine will not meet the demand of the con- stantly increasing number of hunters is officially expected by the state of inland fisheries and game in their annual report, made public to-day. The most reliable figures obtainable give the number of deer killed this year as 1S,000. This Is a decrease of fully one third from last year, due to the fact that the game is being exhausted. A decrease in the number of moose killed also Is noticeable for the same reason. and there are no indications of any caribou in the state.
 The number of guides registered is 2,0SS, who at the rate of "A day earned $360,000 this year.
 In the eight fish hatcheries in the state 3,061,100 fish were raised which were planted in 160 ponds and lakes. There are now in the hatch cries 2.425,000 eggs taken during the spawning season this year.

FOXY JAPANESE
Hiring Out as Laborers 10 Get Transportation 10 the United
 States the Latest Game
THEY ALL HAVE MONEY

City of Mexico. Dec 31.-A dis patch to the Herald from Guadala- jara, says that the migration of Japanese brought to this country un- der contract to work on the Man zanillo extension of the Mexican Central railroad continues. Accord ing to the correspondent l50 of these men have arrived in Guadalajara and purchased tickets for Fl Paso.
 The story puts an entirely new version on the affair for it says that most of the men are we'll supplied with money and are not laborers. Among their number are profession al men, skilled artisans and students. According to the correspondent it is the belief of the railroad contractors that these men came to Mexico with the sole idea of getting transporta- tion to the United States.
 On January 20, steamer from Japan carrying HOO bona fide laborers is expected to arrive and the railroad men hope will relieve the stringent in the labor market.

RUN DOWN BY CAR.
Mrs Mary Larocaue Knocked Down
 and Dragged Some Distance.

Mrs Mary LarocQue of 3S3 North Main street, was knocked down and dragged some distance by a trolley car near her home about 6 o'clock last evening. While hurrying over the crossing the car came along and knocked her senseless. She was carried to her home where she was attended by Dr Graves, who found her badly bruised about the body and limbs. Mrs Larocque is very heavy woman and suffered much from shock. That part of North Main is considered one of the worst in the city, although there is no reason why 1t should be so. The street is wide, but the trolley cars move with such speed they come down on unsuspect- ing pedestrians before they know where they are at. It is but short time ago that man received fatal injuries near this point by being hit by trolley. but the cars have swept on ever since. just as though nothing of the kind had ever happened.

AIDED BY
 A TRAITOR One Hundred Leaders Trying 10 SubServe Russian Army Caught By the Police MANY HIGH OFFICIALS Plot 10 Blow Up Certain People Frustrated and TerrOrists
 Get a Very Hard
 Blow.
MANY HIGH OFFICIALS

St Petersburg. Dec 31.-Acting on information furnished by a traitor the police during the last few days captured over hundred leaders and members of the St Petersburg miIi- tary organization of the social dem- ocrats, who were conducting propa- ganda in the army and navy. Among those captured were the editor of Isecretely published paper entitled The Barracks, Twenty-Five soldiers and several women. The police also arrested many members of an inn portant group of terroristic social revolutionists and captured, accord ing to report, list of twenty-seven high officials, who had been sem fenced to death. Finally it is as- serted that the police accidentally obtained information which frustrated a plot to blow up number of per sons at conference which was to be held within the near future.
 The recent arrests of members of the military organ which was re- sponsible for the Sveaborg and Kronstadt outbreaks and the mutin- les on board warships of the Baltic squadron in August have been re- ported from various places in the interior, notably at Moscow, to which city the central committee was traps- ferred after the police had twice broken up the headquarters at Wilma Six officers. including Colonel Klopoff who had distinguished them- selves, in their respective services, were captured while holding con- ference at Moscow. Lieutenant Emiljanoff, who was executed at Sveaborg fortress in August for par ticipation in the mutiny, was also member of this organization. The propaganda fin the army and navy is now the chief work of the so-called majority faction of the social demo- crats which after the civilian insur- rections of last winter had been crushed by military force, decided that the government could only be overthrown by subverting the army. The minority faction. which is now numerically stronger than the ma jority faction. has foresworn violence and has adopted resolutions in favor of purely political activity. as in Germany. The two factions are now virtually independent.
 Kiev, Russia, Dec 31.-The local committee of the social democrats, consisting of forty men, were arrest ed here to-day.
 Lodz. Russian Poland. Dec 31.- Skirmishes resulting in occasional fatalities continue to take place be- tween the socialist and national fac tons.
