CAPTAIN Gilman D. Crittenden, su-
perintendert of the Natioual Gene
terry at this place, who died
last Saturday evening, aged S6 years,
was a 'forty-niner," he having gone
to California that year, where ne re-
mained until the .begiaRing. Of the civil
war. He became a member. OF The
Seventy-sixth New York Volunteers,
and served three years as captain in
that regiment. He received an homo
rable discharge and after the war
was appointed superintendent OF
the National Cemetery at Beverly,
N. j., and continued in that position
four years. He was later placed 10
charge of the cemetery at Sante Fe, n.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.
Charge Against Saloonkeeper Liable
to be Outcome of a.Fight Be
tween Youths.

Among the cases before the Police
Court this morning was that OF two
Youths who live in the southeastern
section OF the city, who we're charged
with assaulting young man With q
brick. The complainant stated that he
was, without cause, struck on the head
with brick hurled by one OF tho nc.
cused, and that the other acted as
though lie was about to draw a pistol.
The injury received by the Young man
was OF a nature to require immediate
surgical attention, sad DR.. Warfield
was called to attend, him. The defen.
dants asserted that thei complainant
brought ON the fight, and that he threw
the first brick.
It seems that the assault occurred on
Wilkes street late Saturday night and
that the trio had previously visited a
saloon in the neighborhood. One OF
the alleged asssilants acknowledged
that previous to the fight he obtained
beer in the place. He also gave the
names OF certain minors who we're in the
saloon at the time. Justice Cation order
ed that all the names be taken down BY,
the police and that warrant be issued
against the proprietor OF the place for
furnishing liquor to minors. The as-
sault case was continued until TO-
morrow.

tended Guy Johnson's production 81
THE Fatal Wedding" at the theatre
received pleasant surprise last night.
The production is far better than any:
thing seen here before by q company

superior to most OF the dollar and a
half plays. II Mr.. johnson can keep
up this standard he is sure OF the most
liberal patronage and assuredly will de.
serve it. Mis-. Gladys George was very
charming and her work vas most ex-
ceIent in the role Of the wronged wife.
Miss Eta Delmas WAS good IN the
heavy role. Miss Elsie Johnson did
some OF her best work as the little
mother. Miss Sarah. Herbert. Mr..
Harry Oaks, Wm. Lemuels, Joseph
Benner and Harry Kennedy we're cast
we'll aud played their individual roles
in the most masterly manner. The
entire production vas really splendid
10 every sense OF the word. Too much
canuot be said OF it. The Fatal Wed.
ding will be .supplanted Thursday
night by another play. Miss Mary
katherine Kirby (aae fifteen months)
and Miss Helen E. Goeller (age five
months) OF Baltimore, we're the new
editions to the company. This vas
also their fret appearance on any stage.

London, Dec. 19.--Troops were

grabbed while Turkey and Italy are
engaged in warfare. in Tripoli. The
port has long been claimed by Eng

occupation.
The government announces that it
intends to hold Sollum only until the
end of the war, but there are few
who believe England has any inten-
lion Of ever letting it slip out OF
her hands. once she has occupied it.
Messages from Rome harshly crit

SENATOR RAYNER
GIVES HIS VIEWS.

Washington, Dec. 19.-"There is
no other remedy" declared Senator
Rayner (Dem. Md in a powerful
speech in the Senate today, demand
ing the abrogation of the treaty with
Russia. I'VE must submit or give
notice to terminate. 1t would be
to surrender. The night
of barbarism must close so far as
we are concerned. This is the land
of religious liberty, so ordained by
the wisdom of God and so created
by the genius of man. We cannot
permit any autocratic government to
visit this iniquity uupon our citizens.
The day of religious inquisition Is
over. 1t is useless to talk of negotia-
ton. The Russian government can
not be nogiated with.
Without criticizing the state de-
partment or any one else, l cannot
understand why this government has
not long ago demanded Of those In
authority in this despotic land that
II they do not amend their code Of re-
ligious persecution and become pro-
selytes at the altars of reason and
humanity, they will no longer be toll
Grated to retain friendly contact with
and intercourse with our free insti-

mitted any crime against the laws OF
institutions of Russia? Yes, they
have. They have the same crime

THE CHINESE
REVOLUTION.
Delegates Urged to Hurry Peace
Plans. Hope of Agree
meht.
GREAT SECRECY MAINTAINED.
Powers Intimate That Should Delegates
Fail to Reach Agreement They Will
Interfere and Bring Conflict to Close.

Shanghai, Dec. 19.-Delegates t
the Peace conference received note:
from the powers today, urging then
to arrive at some agreement thai
would restore peace in China. while
the notes were of friendly charac'
ter, the recipients could read De-
tween the lines that the powers viii
intervene unless an early end of the
struggle is promised.
1t is generally admitted here that
there has been little hope of the
conferees agreeing on peace terms
but the pressure of the powers is
expected 10 make both sides yield
slightly in their demands.
Messages were received early to-
day from Yuan Shi Kai, informing
his chief representative, Tang Shao
Wi, that he had telegraphed all of
the imperial generals ordering them
10 observe the armistice. This is
expected to bring about a situation
which may pave the way to more
friendly discussion of peace terms.
DR.. Wu Ting Fang, head OF the
revolutionary conferees, spent the
greater part OF the morning in ses-
sion with rebel leaders. They are
to have discussed the notes
from the powers.
Tang Shao Wi received several tel
egrams from Yuan Shi kai instruct
ing him how to act in view OF the po-
sition taken by the powers.
All of the delegates to the con-
ference are observing the greatest
secrecy.
Washington, D. c.. Dec. 1.-THE
United States today joined all the
World Powers in addressing a note
to the Chinese peace conference at
which in effect serves to
inform them that unless they reach
an agreement they may expect for
eign intervention. The note does
not make a direct statement TO that
effect, but it is so interpreted.

UNITED STATES
AND RUSSIA.
EARLY Morning Cabinet Meeting---
Continued in Session Until
Near Noon.
MAIN TROUBLE ON HOUSE SIDE.
Wool Tariff Message Laid Before Cabi-
net-Antl.Semitic Papers OF Russia
Denuunce United States.

Washington, d. c., Dec 19.-To
discuss prospective action by the
Senate and House relative to the
President having served notice upon
Russia that he will abrogate the
treaty of 1892, the Cabinet was as
sembled at the White House at the
unprecedented hour Of $3.50 a. m. to-
day, and remained in session most
of the morning.
AS the President had arranged to
leave for New York at 1880, he
called in the members at the "earli-
est possible time" and presented the
whole situation to them. He had
conferred with numerous leaders in
Congress and explained that he ex-
pected his action to be ratified. The
main trouble is on the House side,
but the President had assurances that
the majority of the Representatives
would be opposed to making any
show OF displeasure at the action
of Taft in taking the matter in his
own hands.
The cabinet went over the wool
tariff message, in which the President
is expected to recommend sharp
reduction In schedules II.
st. Petersburg, Dec. S1s.-Anti-
Semitic agitators are denoancing the
United States on every hand today.
following the notification by Presi-
dent Taft that the treaty Of 1882
would be abrogated. Although un-
willing to talk for publication, gov
ernment officials are very bitter to-
wards the American government ana
there is considerable talk OF boy
cotting American goods both at home
and in Manchuria.
The go4esnn,ent believes that
President Taft's action was, taken In
order to bolster up an already weak
ened political popularity and that he
expects to retain his Office through
the influence of Jewish money and
votes" -
News of the sudden rupture OF
relations between the two countries,
is being suppressed TO a certain ex-
tent but the public has received at
least a vague idea OF the situation
the bitter anti-American ed
itorials that appeared in this morn
ing's press.
American Ambassador Curtis Guild
jr., held another conference with NJ.
Sazonoif today but neither of them
would discuss the meeting.
There Is every Indication that Rus
sia will allow the treaty to lapse and
will refuse to enter into new one.
This would leave Russia free to deaa
with American subjects as she saw
fit and would also work considera-
bile hardships upon American ex-
porters.
