 On such slight things do hinge great conse- quences; on such trifes may be decided the mind that dominates nations. For second sensl- tzed by suffering though her mind was, she did not catch the significance of the orders Deing given by the man whose wire had crossed her own. Then feeling of faintness caused her to reel at the power and strength she caught in the tones. She listened, conquering her fear in one triumphant throb of love for the imprisoned oi' icer Barely snatches could she get:
 General Loves orders and papers are in my possession now For Shanghai the Empress tonight Have the launch ready"
 And then the buzzing of the instrument told her that she could hear no more- 1t seemed 700 cruel too impossible that her hopes should be raised so high only to be shattered. The Generars orders and papers-The Empress for Shanghai immediately. She rushed to the window, her heart sinking at sight of the smoke curls spew. ing from the big liners tunnels.

 He studied his aide curiously when he returned and began fumbling with the knobs of the safe Gibson was still embarrassed at his blunder, realized his superior was thinking that since Lucille entered into his life these blunders had shown a decided tendency to pile up. The door opened and the Lieutenants hand automatically reached inside to- ward the place where he had put the packet.

 The aide fumbled through the pap CTS in the safe, the expression of con fdence on his face changing to one of blank incredulty, then utter dismay as second thorough ransacking failed to reveal the big envelope.

AUTO SUGGESTIONS OF
RYDROP HOBIA KILLS man.

Syracuse, n. Y, Jan. flames ID.
Hubbell, former county clerk, and one
of the best known residents of Syra-
cuse, died at the Crouse-Irving hospital
Saturday, following symptoms of hy-
drprhobia. Mr.. Hubbell was bitten on
the upper lip by a. pet dog on Nov. 20.
He went to a hospital where the wound
was cauterized and an anti-toxin in
iected. His friends joked him about
the rabies and Mr.. Hubbell began to
read everything he could find about the
disease Last Tuesday he returned to
his doctor and told him he was nervous
and fidgerty. He was again taken to
the hospital. The sight of a drop of
water caused violent spasms of the
throat Four of the city's leading ply
sicians attended Mr.. Hubbell. but de-
spite their best efforts he died Satur-
day.
An autopsy was completed Saturday
night. It was announced that hydro
phobia, induced by auto-suggestion,
undoubtedly caused death, but animal
innocuiations are being made with par
ticles of the brain tissue and the ply

Denver, Col, Jan. 4-Charles E. Ma

GRAFTON of Miners, tonight left Denver
for Chicago, where he will discuss with
President Charles IL. Meyer the propo-
Eition Of calling general strike through
out the United States of all members OF
the Western Federation of Miners. Much
pressure has been brought to bear on
officers of the union to issue the general
strike call according to Secretary-Treas
urer Ernest Mills. Secretary Mills be-

Support Is expected in such event from
the United Mine Workers of America

policy, quite sufficient to handle any
situation that might logically arise, is
being guarded with the utmost secrecy.
1t is known, however, in naval cir
cles. and there it has created a sensa-
tion.
Coupled with awarning issued from
the state department Saturday advis
ing Americans against returning TO
Mexico, the sending of four more ships
to Mexico seems fraught with grea
significance and may presage some for
ward action on the part of President
Wilson.
The inscrutable mystery cloaking the
visit of Mr.. Lind to Pass Christian
heishtens the tensity which is begin
ming to be held in inside circles in
Washington, and makes many all the
more sure that something is about to
happen.
The four battleships which are to be
sent to Mexico constitute one division
of the Atlantic fleet, which recently re-
turned from the Mediterranean cruise
They with the other ships of the fleet
hayc been scheduled to sail next week
for Guantanamo where they were to
participate in the winter maneuvers,
working in conjunction with brigade
of marines at Culebra, where the ma
rines are to work out advance base"

PROPOSE CHANGE IN THE
U. S. CUSTOMS COLLECTING.

Washington, Jan. 4-The customs di-
vision of the treasury department is con-
sidering the advisability of withdrawing
from Montreal and other points in Can
ada the United States customs agents
who have for many years been stationed
in Canada for the convenience of Ameri-
can and other tourists and business men
owning dutiable baggage and goods be-
ing shipped into the United States.
Instead of collecting customs through
United States agents at Montreal and
other Canadian ports from which bag
gage and goods start for the United
States, the customs division is consider
ing the possibility of holding all through
trains 80 minutes each at the Canadian
border to permit the necessary examina-
ton and collection of duty on baggage
and other goods.
Such a readjustment of customs inspee-
tion became known Saturday following a
visit to the treasury department of

hotel at Murray Bay. Can, where ex-

lamation by Governor Carranza early
in the rebellion of his intention to re-
pudiate all loans made to the Huerta
government
Some of the money loaned to the
Huerta government came from the Unit
ed States, but the larger portion was con-
fributed by European financiers Cense-
uuently the necessity OF some preliminary
understanding between the United States
and the probable successors to the pres
ent regime already has been considered
with the purpose of preventing danger
Dus collisions with the European govern
fnents and also to protect the rights of
American claimants.
Preparations by the navy for the mid
winter maneuvres in West Indian waters
have led to the renewal of reports that
eeyeral of the great battleships of the
Atlantic feet which made the European
cruise are to be dispatched to Mexican
waters. At the navy department it was
said the original plans made for the ma
neuyres remained unchanged. It is frank
iy admitted. however. that the ships at
Culebra, Porto Rico or Guantanamo.
Cuba, would be much more available for
Mexican service than if they were In
New York harbor and Hampton Roads.
and that they would be ordered to Vera
Cruz or any other Mexican port the mo-
ment the state department called for
them.

reported that their subjects of dis
eussion included the forthcoming visit
torney General McReynolds, the effect
of Mr.. Morgan's retirement from the
New Haven directorate and the rela-
tions of his firm to the road.
The statement authorized by Chair
man Elliott and issued by the publicity
department of the road last evening
follows:
'The object of Mr.. Morgans visit to
Mr.. Elliott was to confer about the
general business, financial and railroad
situation in New England and to offer
any aid he could give toward solving
the complicated railroad situation
THE firm of J. p. Morgan & Co. some
time ago Cancelled its so-called fiscal
agency agreement with the Boston &
Maine and New Haven Roads, and
now Mr.. Morgan has resigned from the
New Haven board. He is, however.
deeply interested in the welfare of New
England and of the Boston & Maine
and New Haven Roads, and, while no
longer officially connected in any way
with the properties or having any voice
in their management, he stands ready
and willing to do all that he or his
firm can properly do to help out finan-
cially or otherwise.
''The whole situation was discussed
very generally, as Mr. Morgan and Mr.
Elliott had met only once since the for
mer's return from Europe, and then
only for few minutes. Mr.. Elliott said
no one was discussed as a successor
to Mr.. Morgan on the New Haven
board, nor were any detailed plans of
any kind discussed.

VERA CRUZ ALARMED
At Rebel Bands Operating Nearby
-Tampico in Danger of Attack.

Vera Cruz, Jan. 4.-Uneasiness is grow
ing here on account of the increase in the
number of rebel bands operating in the
state of Vera Cruz along both the Mexi-
can and the Inter-Oceanic railroads con-
Meeting the port Of Vera Cruz and the
capital. Several successful raids have
been carried out, one u miles from Vera
Cruz and another in the neighborhood of
Paso Del Macho, to the southwest. Two
of the members of the latter band have
been brought here. They had in their
possession several dynamite bombs and
crowbars. The military authorities be-
lieve that they had been detailed to blow
up the Mexican Railroad.
A rebel attack on Tampico is regarded
as imminent, according to reports receiv-
ed here. The foreign warships at Tam
pico are ready to take off all foreigners,
whom they have warned to be prepared
to leave the town.

Huerta's Hopes Are
Now at Top Notch.

Mexico City, Jan. 4.-The Federal
success at Nuervo Laredo, the good
showing made by the Federals at Ojin-
aga, the reported evacuation by the
rebels of Durango, which they occu-
pied for months, upon the approach
of government troops and the failure
of the revolutionists to renew the at
tack on Tampico are pointed to by gov
ernment officials here as arguing we'll
for the fulfillment of President Huer-
ta's recent promise for the early DOM
ination Of the revolutionary situation.
The threatened attack on San Luis
Potosi has failed to develop, the rebels
retiring to the north. The Tampico line
is still out of commission, however,
and an oil famine is threatening the
suspension of the railroad service and
factories. In all the developments of
the past few days the Federal author
tiles see indications of serious short
age of ammunition on the part of the
revelationists, of which they declare
they will take full advantage and push
the fight against them with more vigor
than ever.
The revolutionists, under Generals
Contreras and Urbina. who have been
in possession of Durango since early
summer, are reported to have with
drawn northward to Santiago Papa~
squire, about so miles distant, where
they have established new rebel cap
ital. They are said to have realized the
irnpossibility Of making stand against
the Federal forces now marching from
Torrecn.
Several thousands troops. many of them
recruits, have gone out from the capital
in the last week. The war department
is keeping their destination secret, but it
is understood most of them will be util-
ized in a campaign against Chihuahua.
The announcement that President VIII
sons policy would remain unchanged,
after John Linds trip to Pass Christian,
is a source of disappointment to most
foreigners and many Mexicans, who be-
lieved that the interview between the
President and his personal representa-
tive might result in some definite step to
put an early end to the distressing con-
ditions which, so far as business is con-
cerned, are fast growing acute
To official Mexico. while outwardly
Mr.. Linds visit to the President was of
little significance, the apparent determi-
nation of the United States still to keep
it's hands off is known to be highly graf
flying In spite of the critical financial
outlook, the administration appears to
be highly optimistic.
President Huerta regards the f1otation
of foreign loan as far from vague
hope. The banking situation shows little
Improvement and the scarcity Of coin for
ordinary trading is working hardship on
retailers particularly and business men
generally.
