JAP RIOT IN
VANCOUVER
MAV BE FATAL
One Fireman Thought Dying, and
Two Others Injured as Result of
Fight With Mikado's Subjects.
ACCIDENTAL BREAKING
OF WINDOW THE CAUSE
Onslaught of Overwhelming Force of
Aliens Made When Glass Is Uoio*
tenlionally Shattered by Mem*
ber of Trio of Vhites.
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 1.—A special to
the Oregonian from Vancouver, B. C,
says Allen Anderson, a fireman, is dying
and two other young men, also members
of the Fire Department, are badly in-
jured as the result of a fight today in
the Japanese quarter with an overwhelm-
ing number of subjects of the Mikado.
The fight was the worst in the city since
the recent, riot.
Anderson, accompanied by J. Frost and
T. McDonald, were passing a Japanese
store when Frost stumbled and fell
against the plate glass window front. The
glass was smashed and the fragments
were still rolling on the sidewalk when
a score of Japanese appeared in the in-
side and rushed at the trio of whites.
The firemen were in uniform with brass
buttons and official caps, but the Japa-
nese charged them furiously. Within
three minutes there were dozens of
Japanese in the fight, all trying to get
at the white men. The latter were borne
to the ground and cut and slashed until
the sidewalk and front of the store was
covered with blood.
Only four arrests were made, as nearly
all the Japanese scattered at the sight
of the policemen.
Anderson's two companions thought
Anderson dead, and had been fighting
over his prostrate form when the police
came. Anderson's face was marked with
many slashes, up and down, and from one
side to /lie other.
From the back of his ear to his
shoulder was a slit two inches deep that
had only missed the jugular vein by a
fraction of an inch. His body also was
stabbed in half a dozen places.
The other two men were cut and bleed-
ing from wounds on their faces and
arms.
All were taken to « hospital, where
three doctors worked over them for hours
sewing up their wounds.
MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED.
Police Unable to Discover Tangible
Clue to Slayer of Woman Found
in New Jersey Pond,
SKW YUkiK, Jan. I.—The mystery en-
veloping the morder of the "woman in
red" Is seemingly as impenetrable today
as when tne nude body was discovered
on Christmas day in the water of a lone-
ly pond near Harrison, M. J.
l'hlis tar tne detectives have tailed to
llntf a reliable clue to the Identity of the
woman or her slayer.
The identifications of the dead woman
hy Mrs. Hattle Mull and Detective Dra-
bel of Orange, N. J., have completely
collapsed, end thereHore It is more
puzzling than ever.
Word was received from Philadelphia
toda-y that Agnes O'Kee. whom Detective
Uratiel believed the murdered woman to
te, had been found in that city.
Mayor Delay or Harrison announced to-
day that th? City Council wouli offer a
toward of J10U0 tor the arrest and convic-
tion of the slayer of the woman.

cuse for a serious attack upon Mexicans
residing at Ocos and cause further com-
plications.

of Professors as a Means.
BERLIN, Jan*. 1.—The Lokal Anzelger

Charlemagne Tower, the American

satisfaction to be able to declare
that the long-standing good relations
between the United States and Ger-
many have become closer. If possi-
ble, during the last year as a result of
the efforts of both Governments. The un-
derstanding reached between the Ameri-
can Tariff Commission and representa-
tives of the German Government has re-
sulted in an agreement which will facili-
tate commerce, and It Is to be hoped that
trade relations of the two nations will
expand and strengthen on the basis of
this agreement.
"The exchange of German and Ameri-
can professors, an outcome of the genial
idea conceived by Emperor William, has
had a stimulating and fruitful effect In
the spheres of culture and science and
has brought the -ned men and the
students of Germany and the United
States Into closer touch. The influence
of these exchanges of professors has not
been confined to the lecture halls; 11 has
expanded to the entire people and ^ho
educated classes of both countries have
been brought. Into mole Intimate rela-
tions. As a. result there has grown up a
better mutual understanding of the pe-
culiarities of each people, and the Idea of
the Emperor when he inaugurated this
movement thus has been fulfilled."
The other diplomats whose views are
quoted ail entertain the most satisfac-
tory opinions concerning the outlook for
the coming year.

LIGHT VERDICT CONES
AS A GREAT SURPRISE
former Deputies Are Taking Sentence of
Three Months Philosophically.
Defendants Praise Work of
Counsel in Their Behalf.
ST. PETER~TWRG, Jan. l.-The ease
of the members of the First Diirnu, who
wero convicted yesterday for signing the
Viborg manifesto and sentenced to three
months' Imprisonment will be carried be-
fore the highest tribunal in Russia.
The defendants held a meeting today
and passed a vote of warm appreciation
for the brilliant services of counsel for
the defense.
The main argument before the Senate
will be made by M. Teslenko, a leader
of the Moscow bar, who has borne the
brunt of the present trial, and tho Gov-
ernment, which Is dissatisfied with the
conduct of the trial, will be represented
by the Minister of Justice in person.
The verdict and the light sentence of
three months' Imprisonment came as a
pleasant surprise to the defendants and
the public, aH It had been feared that
tho admission of Joint responsibility by
all the ex-niambers of the dissemination
of the manifesto presaged a sentence for
one or two years. The verdict did not
contain au> reference to the loss of
political rights, but such loss inevitably
i'ollowti according to the Senate's inter-
pretation of the electoral law. Even the
Emperor is powerless, by amnesty, to
re-endow Ihe franciitse, and the'<u\ly sol-
vation of tlio convicted men lies in a
complete revision o( the electoral law by
(he Third Dtfnin.
The tormer Deputies are taking the
verdict philosophically. They point out
that its political results arc of no im-
portance, as they tasted their punish-
ment In advance, having been excluded
from the elections to the Second and
Third Dumas, and systematically ex-
pelled from Slate and municipal employ-
ment.
The probability Is that the Third
Duma will he long-lived and thut the
next elections will not be held until 1912,
and it is generally supposed that by then
times will have changed und the electoral
law have been revised.
Though Ihe ex-Deputies declare that
they are deprived of political power,
which is Ihe maximum of misfortune for
public-spirited citizens, the general feel-
ing among them Is of satisfaction with
the progress of tho trial. The liberal
press views tho verdict as the fall of
the curtain in the Inst act of the drama
of tho First Duma.

Civil Life, the Military zai
Diplomatic Ceips.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. - President
Roosevelt received at the White Houie
today a New Year's throng of well-
wishers, which was three hours in pass-
ing his stand. Mrs. Roosevelt and the
members and ladies of tho Cabinet wers
his assistants.
Though curtailed In number—IHH5—by
more than a thousand over the preceding
New Year's day, the reception was re-
splendent in ull the Incidents of tradition
which have accumulated to Its Interest
for more than a hundred years.
The gorgeousness of the diplomatic and
military features, the cordiality of the
many personal friends of the President,
who made him their seventh annual greet-
ing as such, and the intensely human and
patriotic characteristics of the American
people, typified by the thousands who
represented them today, all combined to
muke a happy conclusion to the historic
event.
From greeting in stately dignity and
appropriate surroundings the Ambassa-
dors and Ministers of the nations of the
world, to stooping far down to grasp the
hand of a "dolly" that Its toddling par-
ent of a year and a half might be grati-
fied, were the extremes required of the
President, and both tho infant and the
diplomat realized an anticipated pleasure.
And the President enjoyed It alto.
Tito setting, tne historic White House,
and the picturesque and entertaining ac-
cessories were amply sutticient to en-
thuse the holiday enthusiasm.
Presidential Aspirants There.
There were other interesting phases be-
sides the scenic beauty and Presidential
cordiality, wmcn constituted tne reast to
tne public. Tlie men whose names are
daily 111 tne public press as Presidential
aspirants lent interest—the Vice Presi-
dent. the Speaker ot the House of Rep-

things said to tliom 111 the Kast Room,
where tno distinguished guests gathered
to chat after passing through the historio
blue parlor and malting their bow to the
receiving party. Then there was Admiral
Hrownson, whose recent differences with
tha President led to his resignation as
«tiier or the Bureau or Navigation. He
came iate, but hurried through the lobby
and reached tne President near the head
of the gorgeously uniformed naval men.
