ANOTHER WOMAN ATTACKED.
Burlington Policeman and Citizen Rushed
to Her Assistance.

Burlington. Jan. fS.-A woman's
scream brought Police Officer George
Fraser and Earl Flaherty hurrying in
the direction of st. Paul and College
streets last night shortly after ten
clock, when they found Miss Lucy &.
Sabin almost unconscious from an at
tack that had been made upon her by
strange man who stepped out from a
dark spot near the lunch cart in this To-
cality. Miss Sabin had been dragged
into the aIleyway back of the billboards
and thrown to the ground by her as
Sailant. Before the officer reached the
scene the man made his escape. Miss
Sabin suffered an injury to one knee
and was very much frightened.
This attack marks the second or third
in series of similar attacks that have
been made upon women in Burlington
during the past few months, Thus far
no arrests have been made. The man
who attacked Miss Sabin last night is
described as short and is claimed to
have been seen standing in the same To-
cality on similar occasions. Miss Sabin
was returning from the concert at the
high school and when near the lunch
cart on st. Paul street, the man stepped
out and roughly grasped her by the
wrist. Officer Fraser was passing along
College street and Earl Flaherty was
also in the vicinity on his way to the
railroad station. Screams of Let me
GO and sound of struggle drew the
attention Of the men and they rushed
to Miss Sabin's rescue. The man fled at
their approach and they assisted Miss
Sabin to rise and helped her to her
home

$4,000 electric lights strung to the very
tips of the two great spires, ended q

az a newly created prince of the church
1t is estimated that three-quarters OF a
million people saw his eminence driven
from the Battery, where he landed from
All ocean liner, up Broadway and Fifth
avenue to the cathedral. So unbound
ed was the enthusiasm of many who
sought to kiss his ring that the mount
ed police were obliged to charge the
throngs repeatedly. Dressed in his scar
let robes the cardinal rode in an open
carriage through lane OF his people
and friends for more than four miles,
chilled by the cold weather, but warmed
by the plaudits of hundreds Of thous-
ands and the sight of the cardinal and
papal colors displayed along the entire
route.
As he reached the cathedral he found
a throng of such numbers that it was
only by force that way was made for
him into the ediice. Six thousand chill
dren's voices were raised in the "Te
Deum" as he entered. In thanks for
the welcome he received, his eminence
spoke with great feeling and delivered
the blessing of Pope Plus y.

Sends Definite Plan Toward a
Settlement at Lawrence.
EARLY ENDING EXPECTED.
1t Is Understood That Both Sides Are
Willing to Arbitrate on the Suggested
Basis--More Hopeful People in
Massachusetts Trouble Zone.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. lS.-An early
settlement Of the strike OF the $4,000
| textile mill workers in the city, which
has been marked by bloodshed and dis
order, was looked for to-day by certain
officials who have assumed eoneiliatory
duties. A definite plan for arranging a
tives and owners by Governor Foss, and
il is understood that both sides will
arbitrate on the suggested basis. The
plan is understood TO include conces-
sion by the employers of the strikers
demands for 50 hours wage for 81 hours
work.
The possibility of arranging a means
OF settlement of the dispute was re-
yiyed at conference at the state arm
ory last evening between Col. Le-
Roy Sweetzer commanding the provi-
sional regiment OF militia, and Joseph
]. Ettor, the New York leader of the
strikers.
Ettor refused TO discuss the nature of
this conference, but Colonel Sweetzer at
its concuson said that he had made
definite means of settling the existing
dispute. and thereby ending the strike,
temporarily at least The details of the
plan contained in this suggestion, Col
one Sweetzer would not divulge He
communicated with Governor Foss by
telephone as to the results of the con-
ference with the strike leader immedi-
ately afterward, and later said he had
arranged further meeting with Ettof
1t is also understood that the strik
crs have agreed not to insist on tif-
teen per cent. wage increase over the
81 -hour rate. 1t is believed, however,
that they will insist on the abolition
of the bonus and premium system and
will abandon their demands for double
pay for overtime work.
Investigation by federal officials Of
certain elements of the situation sur
rounding the strike was begun yester
day with the arrival Of + q. r. Gordon,
OF IIaverhill, immigration inspector, who
WAS sent here under orders Of the inn
migration department at Washington.
II Il understood that the department has
received reports Of alleged illegalities
in the importation of large numbers OF
alien help for the local mills Proof OF
such ilIegalities might result in the de-
portation of considerable number OF
men now on strike, and leave mill off |
eials open to court action under the alien
contract labor laws.

British Steamer WistoW Hall
Went Down To-day
BUT TWO MEN GOT ASHORE
Lifesavers Made Many Attempts to
Launch Their Lifeboats But Failed
Because the Seas Were Run
ming So High.

Aberdeen, Scotland, Jan. lS,-Thirty-
eight sailors, most of them Lascars, lost
their lives this morning when the British
steamer Wistow Hall was wrecked on
the BulIers of Buchan, dangerous group
of rocks off the coast of Aberdeenshire.
Thirty-fve of the men went down
with the ship, and five Others chung to
floating wreckage. Only two OF these
five succeeded in reaching the shore. The
seas were running SO high that lifeboat
could not be launched, although the life
savers of the village of Bullers made
several heroic but vain, attempts to get
their boat into the water.
Captain Stoddard and three Lascars
We're the only ones to reach the shore
and the captain said that fifty-three
ere drowned. The steamer drifted
l,elpIessly before d terrific gale for hours,
the fires having been extinguished by the
seas, which Hooded the engine room.

MORSE AGAIN FAILING.
Federal Prisoner at Atlanta Has Been
Far Worse In Last Few Days.

Washington, d. c., Jan. ls.-The ques-
tion of the immediate Communication of
the sentence of Charles w. Morse again
hangs in the balance. SurgeonGen
eral Torney of the army, consulted by
Attorney General Wickersham as to
whether Morse's condition now seems
desperate, made report to the attor-
ey-general late yesterday. General
Torney's opinion will be laid before the
president, and in the meantime will not
b. made public. If the end seems i'm
minent, it can be stated, the president
will commute the sentence.
General 'rorney's report was based on
a study of the recent daily adyices re-
ceived from the surgeons of the hospital
at Fort Mcpherson, Ca, where Morse
is confined. During the past few days
they have reported that Morse is con-
tinually losing ground.

GRANT UNDECIDED
ON CANTEEN QUESTION

of the East, issued a statement to-day
regarding his position on the canteen
question. General Grant says he is neu-

eleven years afterwards, when the per-
