MAILS INTERNAL MACHINE
Package Found in Erie Postofice La
 belled a Christmas Gift.

Erie, Pa, Dec. 24-While distributing Christmas bundles in the South Erie sub-postoffiee this afternoon an em- ploye became suspicious of a package, the end of which had broken open and upon making an investigation the package was found to contain an in- fernal machine so constructed that the opening of the box would cause an ex- plosio that would have undoubtedly killed all persons near it and set fire to everything in the vicinity.
 The package was addressed to Archie Carr of this city. and had been mailed here. The box was turned over to Postmaster Sobel, who called in Chief of Police wagner and Detective Pin ney. The chief cut out the side of the box, and exposed bottle and contri- vances so arranged that the opening of the lid would pull the cork and ig- pite several matches. The following inscription was on the side wrapper You may perhaps find the. cover will catch little when you open the box, but pay no attention to it, Merry Christmas"

Washington, Dec. 24--An agent of the state of Connecticut appeared at the state department late yesterday to advise with the officials relative to the return to this country of William F. Walker, treasurer of the Savings Bank of New Britain Conn, who was arrested and held at Essenada, Mex, on charge of defalcation and embez- clement.
 The state agent was supplied with copies of the indictment against Wall ker and other papers necessary to con1- ply with extradition proceedings. The state department has forwarded these to American Ambassador Thompson at the City of Mexico, who will place them in the hands of the proper per- sons to lay before the Mexican court which will deal with Walkers case

IN BIG REHEARSAL
Mrs. Fiske and Company Spend Strenuous Eve Preparing
 for First Night.
ALL READY FOR OPENING
Members of Cast Find That Christmas Season Means Hard Work This
 Year for Them.

The Hyperion theater was dark last night as far as the throngs of Christ mas shopper who passed the portico could see. But inside the theater the lights were up and Mrs, Fiske and her associates, who will give the first per- fornances of "Rosmersholm" this aft ernoon and evening. were spending their Christmas even in the dress re- hearsal of the play. It is not often that new production and Christmas tide come together, but when they do it means the player must give up all holiday making for rehearsal time is more trying than the hours consumed when the play has begun its run. The rehearsal began after dinner last even ing and it was time to say Merry Christmas" when it was over The play was gone over several times; the scenes were set and reset; the light ing effects were tested and the hun dred and one details that make play producing the most exacting work in the world, were looked after.
 The production was under the direc- tion of Harrison Grey Fiske, Mrs. Fiske's manager and one of the most prominent of metropolitan producers. MT. and Mrs. Fiske and the members of the company arrived in New Haven in the afternoon. The scenery and ac- cessories had been shipped ahead and were installed on the stage of the Hy- perion during the morning.
 The production Is said to be of the beauty and realism that has always characterized Mrs Fiske's offerings. The scenes are interiors of unusual richness and layishness in furnishings and decoration, Every detail of the settings is carried as with all of MT. Fiske's plays.
 It is agreed by everyone who has read "Rosmersholnl' that in the lead ing role of Rebecca West, Mrs, Fiske has a role totally suited to her. It is wonderful dramatic part and Mrs. Fiske's great talents in this direction will have full opportunity. The play is modern, and it's story Is intensely in- teresting. The strength of the story increases with each act until the tre- mendous denounent is reached.
 A notable cast will support Mrs. Fiske It includes Bruce McRae, George Arliss, Fuller Mellish, Albert Pruning and Florence Montgomery.
 This is the first time Mrs. Fiske has chosen New Haven for a first night, and the first time she has ever pro- dueed a play on Christmas day. The sale for her engagement is large, and there is every indication that crowded and brilliant audiences will greet her first appearances in her new character No production of the season exceeds this is importance.

TRIAL OF FIRST DUMA
Conviction of 169 Members Charged
 With High Treason Foreordained.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 24.-The trial of l69 members of the first duma who signed the Yiborg manifesto about eighteen months, calling upon the citi- zens of Russia to stand up for their rights, for popular representation and for an imperial parliament, will begin tomorrow morning before the court of appeals. The former duma members are charged with high treason and with the promulgation of an appeal to the peope, calling upon them to re- fuse to pay taxes or to serve in the army or navy.
 The verdict of guilty was anticlpat- ed, as the gist of the accusation is established by the text of the manifes- to, and only a technical defense can be interposed. But there is no reason to anticipate the inAiction of the max imum penalty, which is death.

CASE OF ESPOSITO
Governor May Announce Fate of Nineteen Year Old Mur-
 derer To-day.
ITALIANS GIVEN A HEARING
4 Number from This City Present, In- cluding the Italian Consul,
 Riccio.

Hartford, Dec. Alt is expected that the governors decision in the case of Pasquale Esposito, the 19-years-old boy who is sentenced to be hanged on the morning of the 27th for the murder of his boarding house keeper, and in whose behalf appeal for reprieve was made to the governor to-day, will be announced tomorrow.
 A delegataion of his countrymen called upon the governor to-day ask ing him to intervene. This is not con sidered likely as he was informed by his visitors to-day that they had ab- solutely no new evidence upon which they eventually hoped to prove that the prisoner was innocent.
 This was the first question put by the governor to Attorney Foster of Bridgeport who defended the boy at his trial. It was admitted that there was none, but the hope was retained that if a reprieve was granted the Ital- ian citizens who have taken up the ip- vestigation of the crime, may be able to show either that the boy is not guilty, and if he is that 1t was no murder in the first degree. In short, the object in asking for the reprieve was to permit of further opportunity to get at the real facts.
 Italian Consul Riccio, of New Haven made a plea on behalf of the prisoner as did also Deputy Sheriff Richards of Fairfield county, the Rev. Father Me Laughlin and others.
 Assistant States Attorney Carter op- posed the granting of a reprieve. He said the laws of the country should be enforced. He maintained from the first thatthe boy was guilty of the crime and he shall maintain that view.
 He expressed surprise at this request should be made now after an under standing by which two of the states chief witnesses had been allowed tc go
