 The Nest Determiaed
 Resistance.

Prague, Bohemia, Dec. 1.-The race riots between the czechs ana Ger mans are assuming the gravest charae- ter. and probably will compel a declaration of martial law.
 The disturbances yesterday were more serious than an yof those which have taken place in the last few weeks in bitter and open resistance of armed authority. Order was not restored until long after midnight. Twenty gendarmes and several police were in- tured by, stones and a great number of the rioters were cut down .
 The riots were resumed today with even greater violence and dragons were called out to clear the streets The Czechs offered a determined re- sistance. They tore up paving stones to use as missiles and yielded clubs and sticks with serious results to the police and soldiers. Imperial flags were torn and burned and finally the troops draw their sabres and gode down the crowds. pursuing the rioters into the house.
 The British consul. Captain, A. W. ". Forbes,' was dragged from a tram car and badly mauled by the Czechs
 Rioting continued up to a late ho,r In the suburbs, German shops were robbed and the rioters erected barri- sades of wire and other obstacles, Manv were injured in the lights, but ehe -roops now occupy the streets of the ,ity.

Effect ca Federal OmcehoIaers is
 Pointed Out.
 There was considerable speculation locally among faymen as to the effect of the decision of the United States Court of Appeals in the Birch Steele controversy, announced yesterday. A summary of the effect follows;
 Judge Thomas c. Jones. who Is judge of both the Northern and Middle Dfh- tricts. is still a judge of the Northern District. the Clayton act not affecting his powers in the Northern District
 The concurrent action of the two judges of the Northern District is not necessary to the appointment or remov- al of referee; that being in the power of either judge when holding court alone, though if the bankrupt act had said the judges of the district instesd of the district court. appointed and re. moved referees in bankruptcy, the con. current action of both judges would be necessary.
 The court therefore denied the peti- ton of Alex Birch, whom Judge Hunds ley removed and whom Judge, Jones had refused to reinstate until he had heard from the Court of Appeals.
 Under the decision Judge Jones may remove N l.. Steele. Judge Hundleyss appoineee. even as. Judge ,Hundley may remove Alex Birch.
 It is thought by lawyers here that the question will be uItimasely solved by each judge naming one, of the ref. erees 5 ssf { sAn interesting feature of the decision it that 1t assures Major Charles Afi- son Of retaining his place as clerk -oT the United States Court at Birming- ham. Under the terms of the decisfon it is said that Judge Hundley may not remove hifn and give his place to well known Republican polisician as has been predicted.

Maddox, placed in the race at a mass meeting Of citizens called to pro- test against alleged immoral conduct on the part of Woodward. is to serve as Mayor of Atlanta for the next two gears, beginning Jan. I
 The Woodward supporters concluded their campaign tonight with a. torch light procession. which created no un- due excitement, and the Maddox sup porters held final rallies.
 The alleged affidavits refiecting upon the character of Maddox, which Wood ward promised to make public, were not given out.
 The polls will open at ? o'clock and closed at 6 D. m. Clear, freezing weather is predicted.
 Charges of illegal registration have been made by the Maddox campaign committee and tomorrow watchers will be on hand at each of the voters pre- cincts. a
 The police believe they have the situ- ation well in hand with the force doubled.
 Notwithstanding rainy weather. the two rival political parades scheduled for today were not called off.
 The first paarde. that of the Maddox forces, was held this afternoon and the Woodward parade was tonight
 The afternoon parade was held in tfle rain, and numbers of grey-haired busi- ness and professional men appeared in the line despite the dampness. John Bfown's Body" was sung by many of the marchers.
 A feature showing how the heat of the campaign has obliterated former political differences was the marching together of James R. Gray, editor of The Journal, and Clark Howell, editor of The Constitution, long political op- ponents.

 SONS ARE KILLED.
Vienna Was Brilliantly IiIumlasted And The Crush of 100000 People in Streets Cauaen
 Many Accidents.

Vienna. Dec, 1--In honor of Emperor Francis Joseph's diamond jubilee. the city was illuminated tonight on a scale of unprecedented briIIiancy. The cathedral and city hall and all the pub lie buildings were outlined In eIeo- tric lights and the effect was en- hanced by powerful searchlights and Bengal lights playing from high towers
 In the windows of all the private residences on every street were light ed candles.
 The pressure of the enormous crowds in the streets caused several serious accidents. Four persons were killed and 100 or more injured. twenty-five of them seriously At one time a panic ensued directly in front of the Hofburg. where the crowds con- verged from three directions. Hun dreds were trampled to the ground, among them being Parliamentary Deputy Holzt and a woman, both of whom were crushed to death.
 The Emperor announced c partial amnesty and has conferred high decorations on Baron von Aehrenthal, the foreign minister and the Austro~ Hungarian ambassadors abroad.
 The Emperor was deeply affected by the unfortunate result or the days rejolcings The authorities took all possible precautionary measures. such as entirely stopping vehicle traffic after sunset. but were quite unable to cope with the enormous crowds. It Is estimated that there were fully l. 500, 900 people in the streets.
 It is believed that in addition to the official list of killed and injured many others were injured but weFo able to reach their homes.
 Tomorrow's Gazette will name B. 100 persons in all classes who will re- ceive titles. decorations and promo. tlons in honor of tho jubilee.

Text of the Note.


 Press today. secured copy of the agreement between the United States and Japan, concerning the mainten- ance of the status quo In the Pacific and the observance of the integrity of the Chinese Empire.
 It consists of an exchange of notes between Secretary Root and Baron Takahira, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States. The notes are nearly identical. That of Baron Taka- hira is dated Nov. II, and says:
 The exchange of views between us which has taken place during the sew eral interviews have recently had the honor of holding with you. have shown that Japan and the United States are holding important outlying insular pos- sessions in the region of the Pacific Ocean and that the two Governments of the two countries are animated by' common aim policy and intention in that region.
 believing that a frank avowaI of that aim. policy and intention would not only tend to strengthen the rela- tions of friendship and neighborliness which have immemorially existed be- tween Japan and the United State, but also materially contribute to the pres ervation of a general peace, the impe- rial Government has authorized me to present you an outline of its under standing of that common aim, policy and intention
 Then follow the i've articles of cove nant. as made public Nov. 27 from Washington.
