cZAR'S REPLY CONSIDERED AT
MIDNIGHT MEETING OF
CABINET SUNDAY.
This is What Caused Delay in An
nouncement Until Yesterday-Sen
ator Hepburn Prevents Any Imme
diate Action.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-An objection
by Senator Hepburn of Idaho, VINO
protested against precipitous action,
prevented approval of the action of
President Taft ON December 10, in
notifying Russia that the United
States desired to terminate the
treaty of 1892 with that country.
The senate will meet tomorrow at
noon instead of 2 z. m. as usual to
take up further consideration of the
matter. Under the rules of the SEN
ate an objection by a single senator
can carry newly introduced resolu-
tlon over one day. Senator Hepburn
also urged that the senate consider
the matter in executive session when
it met tomorrow.
The president in a message to the
senate telling of his act of abroga-
tion also told of notification to Rus
sia of desire on the part of this
country to negotiate a new and mod
ern treaty to take the place of the
old one.
Senator Hepburn spoke at length
on his motion and seemed to criticise
members who had publicly expressed
their opinions.
Il did not vote in the newspapers
yesterday" he said. 81 do not think
the senate should dispose of a matter
of such magnitude in an off-hand
manner.
1T looks too much like the steam
roller process to bring into the SEN
Rate a resolution and a message and
ask immediate consideration. 1t looks
too much like sentiment instead OF
judgment"
The senate went into session at 2
O'Clock this afternoon to ratify the
action of President Taft in notifying
on December Is, the Russian govern
ment OF the intention of the United
States to abrogate the treaty of 1882
with that country.
President Taft sent to the senate
message stating the course he, had
pursued. Earlier he had advised the
foreign relations committee of the
senate of the executive steps taken.
The senate committee recommended
that the senate act with the house in
carrying out the abrogation of the
pact. Under the notice to Russia and
under the terms of the treaty itself
the abrogation will be effective Jan
uary 1, 1913.
The presidents message was read
in the senate in open session soon af
! ter it convened. He stated that he
: took the matter up with the Russian
: ambassador in his city Friday last.
The official declaration Of the inten-
ton to abrogate did not reach the
! Russian government until yesterday.

YOUNG MAN IS
KILLED BY TRAIN
NEAR EVERETT
JAMES RICHARDSON, OF OHIO.
FOUND DEAD NEAR SEA-
BOARD TRACKS.
Identified by Y. M. C. A. Gard Which
He Carried in His Pockets-Body
Brought to This City and Effort
Being Made to Locate Relatives,

James Richardson, apparently 80 or
SO years of age, we'll dressed and
bearing every ear mark of a man OF
refinement, though he was evidently
tramping over the country. was. it is
supposed, killed by Seaboard Air
Line passenger tram between Everett
City and Thalmann Sunday, and his
body now lies at the parlors of the
Zellner Undertaking company, await
ing developments of an effort being
made to locate his relatives
The body was picked up by another
Sea5oard train a few hours after the
man was killed and was carried to
Everett. Coroner Jennings was noti-
fed yesterday and went up to Everett,
summoned jury and held an inquest.
but very little information as to Just
how the man met his death could be
secured, as there was no eye-wit-
nesses.
1t developed that the man had
passed Everett only a short time be-
fore the arrival of the passenger
train which is supposed to have killed
him. He was seen passing by one or
two men standing around the station.
Another Seaboard train, probably an
hour later, came along and the body
was discovered by the engineer. The
man was lying just few feet from
the track. Evidently be had been
struck by the train which had previ-
ously passed, and it is the consensus
of opinion among the members of the
jury that he evidently endeavored to
catch the train and was struck by
the steps of one of the coaches. The
jury returned a verdict to the effect
that the man came to his death by
being struck by train.
His identity was established by a
card found in his pocket 1t was a
Y. M. c. A. card, showing that he
was a member of that organization in
Toledo, o. Very few other things
were found about him and he did not
have a cent of money on his person.
Coroner Jennings ordered the body
brought to this city and yesterday he
wired the Y. M. G. A. at Toledo and
hopes to receive reply this morn
ing; otherwise the remains will be
inferred in this city.

YOUNG JULIAN TORRAS AS
SAULTED BY AN UN-
KNOWN MAN.
Attacked as He Was Leaving Office
of Company After Placing Money in
Safe-No Clue Whatever to the
Guilty Person.

A bold attempt was made Sunuay
night to rob the safe of the Mutual
Light & Water company and, in the
thief's effort to secure money young
Julian Torras, employed by the COM
pany, and whose duty it is to collect
each night after the cars go into the
shed money boxes, remove the cash and
place it in the company's safe, was
badly beaten and is at his home suf-
fering from several ugly bruises about
the face and head, inflicted by the
wouldbe thief, who used either the
butt of revolver or a pair of brass
knuucks. Sa
Usually during the week the cars
go into the shed about II o'clock and
a few minutes thereafter young Mr..
Torras collects the money from the
boxes and deposits it in the safe In
the office of the company on Grant
street. On Sundays, however,
the cars go in about half an hour
earlier. sstES
1t is believed the man had planned
to enter the office just as the young
man was depositing the money in the
safe, assault him and secure the
funds, and had it been any other night
except Sunday he probably would
have succeeded. Young Torras, how
ever, when attacked, was just in the
act of opening the front door to leave
the office. AS he reached the door
the man entered, and, before he real
iZed what had happened, he felt a
severe blow on the head, which
knocked him back into the office
against the railing. He was followed
by the man, who continued to strike
him as rapidly as he could. Mr.. Tor
ras was taken by such surprise that
the affair was almost over before he
could get a good look at the man.
After he was knocked down he re-
covered, got up and they clinched and
two or three more blows passed, when
they separated, Mr.. Torras calling for
assistance and the unknown would-be
assassin making his exit through the
front door.
a short distance from the office and
hastened to the scene, but saw moth
ing of the man, who had sufficient
time to make his escape. Young Mr..
Torras hurried to a physician and had
his head and face dressed. While the
injuries are quite painful, two of
them across the face, they are not
thought to be serious.
The mans motive could have been
nothing but robbery, and it is believed
as stated, that he had carefully laid
his plans to enter the office while the
young man was in the act of deposit
ing the money in the safe. The police
are at work on the case, but there
is no clue whatever as to the guilty
person.

SHERIFF RECEIVES
MYSTERIOUS LETTER

Sheriff Berrie yesterday re-
ceived a very mysterious let
ter, notifying him of a plot to
murder the sheriff himself, two
of his sons and Steve Gordon,
a member of the local police
force. The letter was short in
words, but conveyed the infor-
nation to the sheriff that Le-
roy Wright, a well-known local
negro, was going to do all of
this wholesale numbering. and
the letter was signed "A
Friend" Wright, the negro
mentioned, heard of the letter
during the day and was more
surprised than any one else. He
was quick to state that he
knew nothing whatever of it
and was puzzled to understand
why his name was mentioned
in the letter.
The sheriff or none of the
other mentioned paid very
much attention to the letter.

A LOCAL end TO
MYSTERIOUS CASE
MAN FOUND DEAD IN WOODS IN
MICHIGAN MAY BE FROM
THIS CITY.

Brunswick is playing a part in a
very mysterious case which the news
papers and officers of Grand Haven,
Mich, are trying to solve. The body
of a white man was found in the
woods near that city a few days ago,
and the only thing by which there is
any chance to identify him is that the
necktie which he wore bore the name
of the Wood-Bailey Clothing COM
pany of this city, while different ini-
tials were found on two handkerchiefs
found in the mans pocket. According
to a letter received here yesterday
the man had been dead for many
weeks. The letter, which explains
the case in full. is as follows:
Grand Haven, Mich, Dec. Is.
Chief of Police,
Brunswick, Ga.
Dear Sir:-The body of a man was
found in the woods on the outskirts
of his city today and it is possible
that he hailed from your city. The
flesh had been entirely eaten or rot
ted away, but the clothing he wore
was still in a fair state of preserva-
ton and on the necktie was the i'm
print Wood (or Ward) e. Bailey,
Brunswick, Ca" Two handkerchiefs
were in the clothes and one of them
had the laundry mark "R. b." The
other seemed to bear the letter "C".
In the pockets were found two pairs
of spectacles, about two dollars in
money, some medicine labeled "poi-
son" and a bottle of morphine part
ly used. There is every indication
that the skeleton had been in the
possibly longer. There was some
gray hair on the skull. Am sending
you by this mail copy Of our paper
with item regarding the discovery Of
the body. If the information ! have
given you should lead to the discov-
cry of who the person was kindly let
me know and greatly oblige,
Yours very truly,
II. S. NICHOLS.
(Care Daily Tribune.)
(P.S)-Perhaps there is somebody
from your city missing who might
have drifted into this region. Let the
papers in your city publish the infor-
nation.
No one connected with Wood-Bai-
leys can recall any incident that
would throw any light whatever on the
identity of the man.

MEMS CLUB In
NEW QUARTERS
Trinity Church Society Re-
Ceives Distinguished Church
men in Parish House

Memorable for stirring and witty
speeches. for an attendance compris-
ing nearly the entire membership, and
for pleasant social features, the first
meeting of the Mems Club of Trinity
Church to be held in the new parish
house will make last night a red-let-
ter date in the Mems Club annals.
Al the short business session. the
following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, John B. Bird; first vice-presi-
dent, w. L. Hammond; second vice.
president, H. L. Harris, secretary,
Frank P. Lee; treasurer, Tnghman
Johnston.
The president of last year, Josiah
Marvel. took the chair for the even
ing. There was regret that Bishop
Frederick ]. Kinsman was unable to
attend owing to indisposition.
In introducing the guest and speak
er Of the evening, the Rt. Reverend
Cortlandt Whitehead, ID. D., Bishop of
Pittsburg, Mr.. Marvel caused laugh
ter by wondering II any good thing
could come out of Pittsburg, so many
disparaging tales we're printed Of that
city. Bishop Whitehead seemed to
enjoy the joke at his expense, and
said that in spite of such a doubtful
introduction he would try 10 win their
good opinion. Bishop Whitehead gave
a very inspiring address on the work
OF the laity in the church and in the
community. He spoke of the useful
faF nT.a IL.
only for all the church stands for. but
also for civic righteousness and right
dealing generally.
The Rev. Frederick M. Kirkus, rec
tor OF Trinity Church, gave praise to
the prominent laymen who have as
sisted in the building of the new
structure, and expressed satisfaction
with the results.
Henry B. Thompson i'm brief con-
gratulations expressed the hope that
the new facilities would mean increase
in the size and scope Of the Mems
Club.
Chancellor Charles NJ. Curtis said
that although he had not at first en-
tirely favored the building project. he
now felt that the church and the com
munity had reason TO be proud of the
handsome new buildings.
Major r r.. Raymond also paid
tribute, saying that in travels in all
parts Of the country he had never seen
finer parish buildings.
Henry Lee Tatnall, who was perhaps
more directly responsible for the sue
cess of the project than any other lay
man. gave high praise to the work of
the Rev. Mr.. .irkus
The Rev. A. $. Clay, vicar Of Old
Swedes, brought congratulations from
the parent church to Trinity, which
Mr.. Marvel referred to as "New
/ Swedes." Mr.. Clay announced that it
is the intention to form a Mems Club
at Old Swedes Church.
The Rev Arthur II. Judge, rector
Of ST. Matthew'S Church, New York.
said that although he has seen larger
parish buildings. he had never seen
! any so complete as the new structures
Of Trinity Church, and he was par
ticularly struck by the fact that many
I Individual contributions had made
them possible.
College Songs by the club formed
the musical part Of the evening, and
refreshments we're served by the wo-
men of the parish as a finale 10 a
meeting that was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present.
