LOST STEAMER !
No Word Yet Received From
Long Overdue Mount
Royal

ST. John, N. b., Jan. 3-No word has
yet been received here Of the Canada
an Pacific line steamer Mount Royal,
which left Antwerp on December
for st. John, having on board 304 inn
migrants, mostly Italians and Jews,
besides crew numbering more than
100 men. 80.
The Canadian Pacific officials in this
city stated today that they believed
that the steamer probably had met
with some accident to her machinery
which had caused her to drift far out
of her course and that she would be
heard from in due time at some 9TH
er port.
The Mount Royal is not fitted with
wireless apparatus.
May Have Found Mount Royal
London, Jan. 3-The nonarrival Of
the Allan Line steamship Hungarian,
which sailed from Greenock, Scotland,
Dec IA, and is now overdue at Port
land, Me-, leads shipping men to be-
lieve that she has fallen in with the
Canadian Pacific liner Mount Royal
which left Antwerp Dec. Z, and is now
long overdue at st. John, N. B. The
course of the Hungarian would natur.
ally cross that of the Mount Royal
and underwriters would not be sur.
prised to hear that the Mount Royal
is being towed by the Hungarian.

him in a duel, Won Moltke brought
suit against him for defamation of
character. The hearing of this suit
began October %, and a vast amount
Of scandalous matter was elected. Won
Moltke denied all charges but the re-
suit was the acquittal Of Harden, and
Won Moltke was condemned to bear
the costs.
The yindication of Harden was fol
lowed by the announcement that he
was to be tried on a charge Of Grimm
al libel by the public prosecutor Of
the first provincial court. This was
the trial that has just come to an
end. Some of the persons VINO testi-
fed one way at the first trial, among
them the former wife Of Count von
Moltke, reversed themselves at the
second hearing and the decision
against Harden does not come as a
surprise.
Harden is a Jew OF Polish extrac-
uon His real name is Max Witskow-
ski.
With regard to Count Won Hohenau.
Emperor William has ordered his trial
before military court OF honor. The
exact charges upon which this pro-
ceeding will be taken have not been
formulated.

SEN. FORAKER
BOLTS ORDERS
OF OHIOSTATF
COMMITTEE

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. "A fiat re-
fusal to be bound by the conditions
of the call for the republican state
convention that is to name the state
ticket and select delegates-at-large
to the national convention, is the
conclusion reached by United States
Senator j. B. Foraker, and announc-
ed in statement given to the press
tonight. M
The primaries for the test of
strength between Taft and Foraker,
as presidential candidates, were pro-
vided for in the official call and the
method provided is sharply criticised
by Senator Foraker. The statement
in part follows:
Il am not sure understand the
call, although have read it several
times. If do, it is another case of
asking for bread and butter and get
ting a stone. My idea in requesting
the primaries was to have the cleo
ton of delegates brought home to the
people SO that in each ward, for in
stance, we could select our immedi-
ate representatives This call makes
all that impossible.
I'm addition it prescribes require
ments not authorized by the statute
and not within the power of the state
central committee. Some of the re-
quirements are in direct conflict with
the statute. Some of them are very
burdensome. One, in particular, is
requirement that before there car
be a Taft ticket and a Foraker ticket
there must be a petition signed by
twenty times the number Of candi.
dates for the delegates and alter
mates.
That would mean in this county
about four thousand signers or pc
titioners
THE unreasonableness of the re
quirement that there shall be fou,
thousand petitioners to authorize {
ticket is shown not only by the fac
that the law makes no such require
ment, but that in cases where the Law
authorizes that the county and cit,
officers be nominated by petition onl,
three hundred names are necessar.
to nominate any county officer an,
only fifty names are necessary t.
nominate any municipal officer.
"1f in the contemplation of the law
fifty signers are enough to authoriz'
the placing of a mans name on tn
ticket for mayor of Cincinnati o
Cleveland, certainly it is beyond any
thing contemplated by the law tina
four thousand signers should b
necessary to nominate a lot of dele
gates and alternates merely to atten
a state convention. Such conditio,
/, Is unnecessary as well as burdensom
TIT should be enough for each part

JURY OUT
PettibOne Case Goes to jury
Defense Prevents BOrah
From Talking

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 3.-The jury in
the case Of George A. Pettibone,
charged with conspiracy in the muir
der of Ex-Governor Frank Steunen-
berg, began it's deliberations at $50
O'Clock tonight. The last day of the
trial was occupied by the argument
of James H. Hawley for the prosecu-
ton and instructions of the court.
The defense carried out its an
nounced resolution not to argue the
case, thus preventing Senator Borah
from addressing the jury. Hawley
fairly dared the attorneys for Petit
bone to speak in his behalf but they
sat dumb when he concluded, and
when Judge Wood asked if any ar
gument would be presented by de-
tense, Judge Hilton answered.: Ger
tainly not"
The courtroom was cleared before
the jury retired, but the attorneys,
the defendant and a few of his
friends, waited for time in the hope
of hearing verdict tonight. No ses-
sion of court was held this afternoon
on account of the Illness of Juror
Stahl, but he recovered sufficiently
for the trial to proceed tonight. Pet
tibone was very sick man during
the day, but insisted on the trial be-
ing concluded. 1t was necessary to
carry him to the courtroom tonight,

London, jan 3.-The failure of an
other alliance of English nobility
with an American Of wealth became
public this afternoon, when the
Countess Of Yarmouth, who was
Alice Thaw of Pittsburg, daughter Of
Mrs. William Thaw and sister of
Harry K. Thaw, applied to the di-
vorce court for sannulments4 of her
marriage to the Earl Of Yarmouth.
The court has ordered that the pro-
ceedings be held in camera and the
papers are being kept secret. The
only inkling obtainable of the
charges preferred is a statement that
the nature of medical evidence to he
given makes a. public hearing mad
visable. The Countess of Yarmouth
is staying at Park Hall near Eyers-
ham, Worcestershire, magnificent
country seat she has leased, decor
ated and refurnished with lavish ex-
penditure. She declines to comment
on the case. The Earl of Yarmouth
could not be found in his usual Lor.
don haunts tonight and it is SUI. y
posed he is on the continent where
he spends much of the time.
It has been known for two years
that the domestic affairs of the Var
mouths were most unhappy. The

living were such that he could not

AND VlTI'E ARE
v RANGING
over DALNY

st. Petersburg, Jan. 3-The contro-
versy between Count Witte and Gen.
Kuropatkin, over Kuropatkin's testi-
mony at the trial Of Gen. Stoessel,
which has been conducted at ltngth
for several days in Novoe Vremya,
has developed into discussion Of
Count Whites role of so-called eastern
adyenturer and the extent Of his re-
5sponsibility for the war.
This. the enemies Of Count White
have persistently endeavored to sad
die on him. Gen. Kuropatkin, in a SER
les of letters, has sought to prove
that White was responsible for the
evacuation of Port Dalny, which the
general declares gave the Japanese an
invaluable base during the siege Of
Port Arthur and also interefered with
the prompt despatch of heavy artil-
lery to the fortress.
Replying to these letters today
Count Wttte explicitly declared he
was opposed to the establishment eth
er Of a military or commercial port
in Chinese territory, and says that
the policy of leasing the Kwan-Tung
peninsula and extending the railroad
line thither was adopted over his head.
He ascribes the occupation Of Port
Arthur by the Russians to the initia-
tive of Count Moravieff who then was
foreign minister, and declares he was
SO indignant at the move that he inn
mediately broke off relations with
Mnravieff. Count White challenges
Gen. Kuropatkin to prove that he ev.
er called attention to Port Dalny as a
stragetic menace to Port Arthur be-
fore the war and says that Kuropatkin
in 1903 stated that Port Arthur
was able to resist the whole Japanese
army and defend the KwanTung pen
insula and Manchuria.
