Dec. 28 After a long discussion with experts, principally with the famous composer, the Abbe Porosi, director of the Slsteine ch..ir. th" Pone has issued or his own accord a note on the subject of sacred music in the churches. In this note, which appears to-night in the Osservatore Romano, his Holiness formulates rules for ehureh music, which recall the churches to a strict observance of the instructions Issued by former Pontiffs. The Pope, wh' Is a keen student of music, condemns the transformation of Liturgie music into compositions for use at concerts. The Pontiff is strongly in favor of the Gregorian chant, and has ordered the Abbe Perosi to compose i gorian mass for the centennary of St. Gregory the Great, next Easter.

ST. PHTIC RS Fit 'HO, Dec. 28. In oflfetsJ circles here the delay in presenting Russia's reply to Japan is net regarded i;s ominous. On the contrary, the fact that Russia, in accordance with Japan's request, is actually reviewing the matters in dispute is regarded as a favorable sign. It is pointed out that had Russia replied immediately unfavorable deductions might have been drawn, and al-housh Russia believes her proposals were extremely conciliatory, containing all the conceisions she can make, this does not exclude the possibility of Unding alternative propositions in some portion of the general scheme of settlement, which may mwe closely coincide with Japan's wishes. If careful reconsideration discloses the iwssibility of such a course it Is said there is every reason to believe it will gladly be embraced. The consensus of unofficial opinion among those associated with the government, but not responsible therefore is that the Czar Is so peacefully disposed that he will make such concessions to Japan as are BSCSSSary to prevent war, provided that no unforeseen events force the hands of the governments concerned. At the same time the Czar, It is pointed out, agre. s with those who bell VI that preparation for war is the best safeguard of peace, and that apparent willingness to allow matters to be submitted to the test of arms is more likely to lead to a satisfactory compromise than an exhibition of overmuch peacefulness. This unofficial opinion, however, believes the controlling party In Russia regards Korea as necessary to the consolidation of Russian interests in the far East, and is determined to prevent the peninsula falling into Japanese hands, ami that any concessions Russia now makes to Japan will only be with the object of deferring the difficulty until a more seasonable time. There is not likely to be much difficulty in finding money in case of war. A foreign loan on acceptable terms is probably impossible, but the Russian banks and merchants have ample funds on which the government could draw. One reason why the British alarmist news fails to convince the Russians is the perfect understanding here of the benefits Great Britain derives from a continuance of the strained situation. It was known here a year ago that Great Britain was planning to occupy Thibet and extend the railroad to a point in the Yangste valley, which l renchanl by gunboats from the sea. Great Britain's forward movement at this time excites both admiration and rage, the former for the clever political move, the latter because Russia is so preoccupied in the far East that she is unable to prevent Great Britain from creating her own Manchuria in the Yangste provinces. It is potntel out re that the present situation affords Great Britain the same opportunity as actual war between Russia and any third power.

CHINA RECEIVES COLD COMFORT FROM RUSSIA PEKING. Dec. 2S.-Lien-Fang, first secretary of the Board of Foreign Affairs, visited Russian Minister Lssar to-day and requested information concerning the intentions of the Russian government regarding the evacuation of Manchuria. Minister Iessar. in reply, said that nothing coidd be done at present with a view of evacuation, for two reasons. In the first place, the minister pointed out the cold weather made it impossible to remove the troops from their present positions, and, besides, there were no barrack accommodations to be had elsewhere; and, in the second place, he said, it would endanger Russian interests to undertake evacuation during the progress of the negotiations between Russia and Japan, for the reason that Japan might seize the opportunity to invade ManchuriH. The Chinese government is so alarmed at the prospect of being involved in the seemingly prospective war that It would prefer that Russia should remain in control of Manchuria. As an alternative, the foreign office has indicated to the ministers that a settlement satisfactory to China would be that Russia and Japan should retain their respective treaty rights in Korea and Manhuria if they agree not to attempt to obtain further advantages in either country. The Russian commander Imperatively requested the Tartar general to disband his militiamen and to disarm them. The Tartar general issued an order In accordance with this request, but it is understood the men are concealing their arms, supposedly with the Tartar general's connivance. RUSSIA ORDERS MEAT FROM UNITED STATES KANSAS CITY, Mo Dec. 28.-The Russian government has just placed an order with local packers for a million and a half pounds of messmeat for immediate shipment to San Francisco. The order calls for the delivery of the meat at San Francisco by Jan. 22. The meat, it is said, is for the use of the Russian army, and its destination is said to be Port Arthur. OMAHA. Neb., Dec. 28. The Cudahy Packing Company, of South Omaha. Is In receipt of a rush order for l.uun.OUO pounds of extra messmeat tor the Russian government. The shipment must be made from South Omaha so as to reach San Francisco before Jan. 2. On that date two Russian ships will be prepared to sail from that port with the beef on board. It is learned that the same ships will also carry a large amount of other supplies, which are now on their way or In preparation for shipment from various points in the United States. All of these supplies, it is said, are for the War Department of Russia. ST. PAUL.. Minn.. Dec. 28. Within the past eight days Minneapolis mills have booked almost MO.Hf barrels of flour for export to Japan. For some time Japan has been a heavy buyer of American flour. More business will likely result. The millers are reticent about discussing the Japan business, but admit that the orders are still coming and one large company alone is known to have booked close to 50.000 bnrr.ds within a day or two. The Japanese government has bought no flour direct. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S. The Bulletin sins that the tirm of Gets Bros. & Co. has contracted with the Russian government to supply the latter with S.000.0ÜO pounds of beef, and that Getz Bros. & Co. are making demands upon all the big packers in the West, having already placed an older for 1 .000.000 pounds with Cudahy & Co., to be delivered in this city. JAPAN SAID TO HAVE PURCHASED WARSHIPS NEW YORK, Dec. 2 It Is announced h i . says a Herald dispatch from Buenos Ayr s, that the Argentine men-or-war Moreno and Rivadiva, bulk at the Ansaldos yards, in Italy, have been recently sold by the English firm of Anthony Qlbbs & Co. for $7.5tO.OOO, but the government does not say what n.'.tion is the real purchaser.

TWENTIETH VICTIM OF (iuojurigs wreck Dismembered and Almost Destroyed Remains Found Errors in Sunday Might's List. VAX DAL S ROBBED DEAD GRAND RAPIDS. Mich.. Dec. 28. Gathered in a rubber blanket in the local morgue are the charred and dismembered remains of the twentieth victim of Saturday night's head-on collision on the Pere Marquette Railroad near East Paris. So terribly disfigured is this hurt victim, which was found at the scene of the wreck late to-day, that in all probability its identity will never be positively effected. The coroners were inclined to the belief that this body Is that of a woman, but the railroad authorities say it must have been a tramp riding on the "blind baggage" car, as no woman passenger could, in their opinion, have been thrown where this body was found It was the unmistakable odor of burned flesh that lid the wrecking crew to a realization of the fact that another body lay under he wrecked engines, whefe Engineer Stoddard and Fireman Burns, of the east-bound train, were found. When they had uncovered the remains of this additional victim they found only fragments of a human form. There were no arms or legs, only fragments of the skull and large bones, iome teeth, ana most of the internal organs intact, but literally roasted. Careful revision to-day of the list of dead in Saturday night's wreck on the Pere Marquette Railroad at Eas Paris shows a total of twenty victims, including the body found to-day, Instead of twenty-two, u i reported last night To-day's Investigation and revision shows that Allen Wells, of Big Rapids, Peter W. Wierengo, of Grand Rapids, and a man named Peterson or Thompson, of Sioux City, la., who were included in the list of dead, were not killed. A mistake was also made in the name of F. M. Gillett, of Portland, one of the victims. It should be William G. Smith, of Portland. The mistake arose from Smith's middle name being Gillett. The death list pf twenty Is declared to be correct by the Pere Marquette officials who have charge of caring for the bodies. There were no further deaths to-day among the injured in the hospitals, and all were reported to be doing as well as could be expected, though three of them, it is thought, will die. Gerrit Motman is lu the most serious condition, ..ad his death is momentarily expected. T. Mischaick is developing meningitis, and there are only the slightest hopes of his recovery. John Post will reach the crisis within twenty-four hours, with the chances against him. With these exceptions all the injured are expected to recover. M. J. Carpenter, vice president and gen eral manager of the Pere Marquette, arrived in this city to-day from Chicago. He stated that he was lu an advisory capacity, the investigation as to the cause of the accident resting with General Superintendent Smith. Personally he expressed his faith in the agent at McCord, and on another point said: "As to the sending of the second order, this is a matter of dailyoccurrence in any railway office. Probably if that second order had not been sent this accident would not have happened, and then, again, it might. In any event the dispatcher acted according to his best judgment." Despite the extreme precautions and watchfulness of the Pere Mar iuette Railroad officials and county officers, it is now believed that many acts of vandalism were committed at the wreck near East Paris Saturday night and that ghouls despoiled bodies of the dead. Coroner Hilliker stated to-day that nothing of any value whatever was found by him when he searched the dead and that he Is satisfied ghouls robbed the remains either while they were in the wreck or were being carried into baggage cars to be brought to this city, gums of money ranging from $10 up to $60 are missing from bodies of victims who are known to have been carrying money. Sheriff Chapman is authority for the statement that a gang of men was fought off the relief train when It left Grand Rapids, but the sheriff believes these men managed to get back on the train unnoticed. No Employe Responsible. PITTSBURG, Dec. 28. Superintendent D. W. Duer, of the Pittsburg division of the Baltimore & Ohio, has made a complete In vestigation of the cause of the wreck of the Duquesne limited last Wednesday niprht near Dawson, Pa., and has found that no employe of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is responsible for the accident. The accident is declared to, have been unavoidable. Car Demolished Five Hart. BOONE, In., Dec. 2S.-Two women and three men were seriously injured, one, Charles Humphrey, a car barn man. fatally, In the wreck of a suburban car by a switch enuinc in the Boon" yards here to-day. The car was demolished and eight passengers had narrow escapes. JAPAN MAY SAFEGUARD KOREA WITHOUT DELAY TOKIO, Dec 2S An extraordinary meet ing of the Privy Council to-day approved the issue by the Cabinet of an emergency ordinance authorizing the guarantee of the principal and interest of an itdue of 10.000,000 yen debentures for the purpose of expe diting the work on the Seoul-Fusan Rail way. which is expected to be finished by the end of next year.

His compensation at the rate of 5 per cent. would have amounted, if he had been allowed to sell all. to about $800,000, the sum claimed by him. He asserts he was debarred from securing his commission. He asked for Mr. Nixon's examination before trial in order to frame his complaint. Justice Leventritt said he considered Cal houn had facts enough in his possession to frame his complaint.

"Condition" Rule Affecting Hardship on Princeton Students. This year's Western trip of the Princeton musical clubs, in which Indianapolis was the most Western point reached, may e the last one taken by the glee, banjo and mandolin clubs of that university. Too stringent rules with regard to the scholarship requirements for membership in the clubs is given as the cause of the difficulty. For some years the faculty of Princeton has enforced the same "condition" rule on the musical organizations that Is enforced on the various athletic teams. A man who has a condition in any one of his Studie is not eligible for membership in the clubs, and, as conditions are rather an easy thing to acquire, this rule has barred many good voices and good musicians from the clubs and from participation in Its trips. As a natural consequence it has followed that the clubs aro hampered in their work of getting a good schedule and a profitable trip For ten years the Princeton clubs have not gone farther West than the Mississippi, while the clubs of other Eastern schools have gone as far West as Denver. Discontent has been caused, and there is considerable talk at Princeton of a possibility of no more Western trips. JURIES ARE DRAWN. James A.

CHICAGO. Dec. 28 With pneumonia establishing a new death record In Chicago and the county hospital so crowded that patients are sleeping on mattresses on the floor and less serious cases being turn. 1 away, a serious problem confronts the Chicago henlth authorities. The many varieties of weather from which the city has suffered during the last week Is blamed not only for the many pneumonia deaths, but for the crowding of the hospital in another way. Within the last few days an unusual number of persons, injured by falls on icy sidewalks, have been taken to the county institution and though a new emergency ward has been opened all caunot be cared for properly. Last week s alarming increase in deaths from pneumonia is made the subject of the latest health bulletin. During me seven days ended Suuday pneumonia claimed 131 victims in Chicago, or 27 per cent, of the total mortality. T AGG ART FORCES PUT REACH AND HIS GANG

TO ROUT AT PRIMARIES (CONCLCDEp FROM FIRST PAP bailiwick. ?he Keach forces set up a protest two or three days ago that they were being denied representation on the primary boards and it was on this ground that Polster decided to stop the primary in his ward. When the voting place at 215 West New York street was opened Polster was on hands with his gang, his chief support ers being Bert Perrott, Bertilllon clerk in i the police department; Barney Conroy, foreman of one of the sewer gangs in the ! employ of the city; William McKernon, j Barrett law clerk In the city controller s office; Charles Maurice, license inspector, and two men named McClure and McClellan, both of whom are said to be on the city pay rolls. Polster demanded that before the polls be opened he be permitted to stand inside the TOtlngj place to watch the depositing of the tickets In the ballot box. He was Informed that the law did not provide for watchers during the voting, but that he could have I a watcher, or half a dozen watchers, if he wanted them, when the votes were counted. That did not satisfy him and he declared j that there should be no voting until his demands were acceded to, and with his crowd j took possession of the sidewalk and street In front of the window through which the I voters were to deposit their tickets in the ballot box, which had been placed just Inside the window. ALMOST A RIOT. Mr. Taggart was there and he attempted to reason with Polster and to dissuade him from his determination to prevent the voting, but without success. He only brought forth a description of himself in Polster s choicest vocabulary. Each of the three election officers deposited a ticket in tne ballot box and one other vote was got in before Polster succeeded in completely blocking the window. All four votes were for Fanning delegates and were so recorded and reported to the county committee as the official returns from the ward. The brawl created a sensation in that section of the city and a crowd of from 300 to 400 men was around the voting place at one time, all of them ardent partisans of Taggart or of Keach, and all ready for a rough-and-tumble light at a signal from the leaders. At one time Ed Moore, an employe of the Sentinel, approached the voting place and insisted that he be permitted to vote. He attempted to force his way to the window, but was promptly knocked down by one of the Polster gang. The situation became so threatening that a call for police protection was sent in and a number of patrolmen with two or three bicyclemen and a sergeant in charge rata dispatched from headquarters to the s of hostilities. The officers remained there until the polls were finally declared officially closed, and their presence and the conciliatory counsels of Taggart and his friends were all that averted a serious clash. Mayor Holtzman appeared on the scene shortly before 6 o'clock, but was unable to get within twenty-five feet of the voting place, and after standing around for a few minutes, with a far-away 'where-ls-my-gubernatorial-boom?" expression on his face, the mayor wended his way back to the Claypool Hotel. HOLTZMAN LOST VOTE. In the Seventh ward, where trouble had been anticipated, the Keach forces were not strong enough to make any sort of showing against the strength mustered by "Bill" Kissel, the former "policy king," who had charge of the ward for the Taggart people. Kissel mustered a total of 308 votes to 5 for Maines. A fight took place In the Fifth ward that resulted in several knock-downs. "Mike" Laughlln, an ardent Fanning supporter, j displayed with pride last night a bump the ! sise of an egg on thd side of his head a ! pleasant souvenir of the affair. In the j Ninth and Twelfth wards there was also some little trouble, but nothing of a serious j nature. Joseph T. Fanning, who will be re-elected district chairman to-day, is naturally much elated at his victory. "Of course, I am greatly gratified at the I substantial indorsement given me by the j Democrats of the district." ha said last i night. "I felt confident of success, and the result shows that my confidence was not misplaced. Aside from that I have nothing to say." When Thomas Taggart was approached I with a question as to what he thought of the result he said that he hadn't a word for publication. However, the "smile that j won't rub off" adorned his features continuously during the four or five hours he spent at the county headquarters in the TIMM BS block. That and the handclasps and ; words of thanks he gave each one of his friends who put In an appearance were clearly indicative of his feelings, James Leroy Keach could not be located ' last night, but It Is understood that he Is still in the city. POLITICS IS FIRST City Hall Vacated and Clerks Fall in Line at Polls. It was "politics before business" with the city officials yesterday afternoon, as was plainly apparent to those who were In the courthouse basement corridor after 4 o'clock. Faithful attendance at the Democratic primaries, which were held In the city from 4 to 6 o'clock, seemed to be the rule governing all good Democratic office holders. The mayor's office was closed tight, as was the office of the Board of Public Safety aud the Board of Health. The office of the controller was open but was deserted by all who could attend to its business. The offices of the Board of Public Works and of the city engineer were iahabitated by two or three clerks and stenographers, while one or two were left in the office of the assessment roll burenu. in the engineer's annex several draughtsmen remained at work. The offices of the Park Board was open as usual. Not only the offices but the corridors were deserted, and it would have been almost impossible to find a Democrat with a searehlight and a telescope. Even the city attorney must have been attending to the political duty of the hour, as inquiry at his office in the Stevenson building disclosed that he was out and would not be In again until morning. Rescue Mission Open House. In order to reunite workers, converts and friends of the Rescue Mission, the usual custom of holding watch services on New Year's eve will be observed by the mission. Open house will be kept by the mission from 2 o clock until 9 o'clock p. m. Thursdav. Refreshments for 1.000 guests are to be provided and there will be music and speeches by a number of the ministers of the city. j JS VSy on every box. 25c
