Cabinet has informed the Diplomatic
.Corps at Santo Domingo City that on
account of the desertion of President
Morales, Vice-President Ramon Caee,- J
res has been asked by the Cabinet, ac- j
ipording to law. to assume control of
| ibe Government.
It was learned that this Government
,triH not interfere with the internal dis|
turbances of Santo Domingo, but that
It will not ]>ermlt the custom houses
fto be disturbed. The modus vivendi
iwill be maintained.
Vice-President Oaceres wac supposed
Ito be ..t Monte Cristi. Morales was
said to be at Jaima. a few miles from
Santo Domingo City, with a few followers,
who were fighting.
The decision vf this Government to
.uphold the custom houses in case they
are placed in jeopardy by the present
disturbances was reached at the contference
between the President and Secretaries
&oot, Taft and Bonaparte at
/the White House. Tiie rresiaenc Delleves
that it would create a dangerous
situation if the custom houses were
seized by either political faction. The
breaking" of the nndus vivendi would
probably lead to some action ou the
part of the foreign nations which represent
many creditors of Santo Domingo.
These include Germany.
Prance. Italy and Belgium.
The outcome of the attempted revolution
on the part ofr President Morales
is still somewhat in doubt, but it
la rhnnsrht her<? that the Jiniinistas,
.*v with whom he has thrown in his lot.
are not anywhere near strong enough
to down the Horacistas. the party
(which has been in control for a year,
^nd a half, with Morales as its President.
The Cabinet is controlled by the
Horacistas, and Caceres, the new acting
President, is a member of that faction.
The Cabinet was practically
made solid for the Horacistas some
iweeks ago, when Sanchez, the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, was throwu out of
office and Senor Tejera put in his place.
In Santn TV*minfffk tllA Cabinet has
'executive powers ?qual to those of the
President, and it was due co this condition,
in all probability, that Morales
left Santo Domingo City. .
It was learned that Morales ha* long
t*een suspected of being in laague with
the opposition. The Horacistas control
the entire country, with the possible
exception of the province of Monte
Cristl, and Morales is not believed to
be strong enough to do any harm.
The Horacistas, therefore, will prob
ably remain in control. The party is
in favor of the modus viveadi and thj?
treaty. If Morales fails in his efforts
to make a Government suitable to himself
the interests of the Administration
,will probably not be affected.

! TiN SHEARS FOR LANCET
Remarkable Operation Performed on
Chinaman at Sea.
Hop Line, Fireman on the Sntsnina, Has
Mis Appendix Roiaored by
the engineer.
Now York City.?Operations for appendicitis
are common enough nowadays,
but it is safe to say that tbe one
performed on Hop Ling, fireman
aboard the steamship Satsuma. just in
from Yokohama, is the most remarkable
iu the annals of surgery. For a
pair of tin shears did duty as a surgeon's
knife, a redhot soldering iron
served to canterize the cut, it was
sewed lip with a sail needle, and the
only anaesthetic employed was a potato
sack drawn over the man's head.
Because of it all Hop Ling is alive
and well to-day.
Chief Engineer Brand relieved Hop
of his troublesome appendix.
Neither tbe Chief Engineer nor Captain
Chubb had any premonitory warnings
of evil when Chop Suey, the cook,
came to them one morning and said
that Hop Tving was "velly sick."
"Me tink urn die," said Chop when
he had made an end of his recital.
One'look at Hop as he lay motionless
011 his figured quilt below in the firemen's
quarters showed that the cook
was not far wrong. Two or three of
the firemen off duty, who wore absorbed
in their eternal game of fantan.
said, yes, that Ling was "relly siclman,"
and went on playing, for a!
Chinese are fatalists.
And so if Ling whs fated to die, be
would die; that was all. Far be it
from one of them, so they explained, to
meddle in the affair. It would be sure
to offend the joss.
Captain Chubb, however, took a less
fatalistic view of -the matter, and
brusquely ordered two of the crew.tO;.
carry Hop on a board into the messroom
for the purpose of a more convenient
diagnosis.
"I am strongly of the opinion," said
he to the Chief Engineer, "that this
man id suffer in g from appendicitis.
We will now proceed to see if my sup
position is correct."
"Aye, aye, sir," said Brand, a bit
doubtfully. "It may weel be as ye
say, sir, but I'm sair miuded to think
it's mair likely he has an iugrowia' tumor,
sir, of the intestines."
"We shall see, we shall see," returned
Captain Ohubb, shortly. "Mr. Pyecroft,
will you kindly oblige me with a
potato sack?"
"An hempty one, sir?" asked the bewildered
sailor.
"Yes, yes, empty, of course," snapped
the Captain. "We must have a bag of
some ??>rt to envelop the head. It is
always done in operations of this sort."
. king, now quite assured that his last
hour had come, and accepting the end
with true Oriental resignation, was
laid out on the mess-table, and the
tnrofoi'iniio orrwwMi nn his richt nlflf*
ey-~" v? ?- - -O
.carefully examined, by Captain Cliubb
and the Chief Engineer.
"It is as I said," the Captain announced,
triumphantly. "The man has
an enlargement of the appendix." The
Chief Engineer said nothing, bub it
could be seen by his contracted brows
that lie was not convinced.
"Looks to me, sir," ventured Pyvcroft,
"like 'e 'ad swallowed a cocoanut,
or some such thing, sir, but if you
says hit's 'is happendicks w'ots th'
trouble with 'im?"
"It must be removed at once," broke
In the Captain decisively. "Pyecroft,
"bring the'tln shears and a stHdering
iron."
"A wot, sir?" gasped the sailor.
"A soldering iron," repeated the Captain.
"The wound must be properly
cauterized. Get a sail needle and a bit
tn iiirenu, iuu, wuiie yuu rs hudui 11. (
And so Ling was divorced from hi3appeudix,
the Chief Engineer performing
the task witli the same skill and
thoroughness he would bavo used in
makiDg repairs 011 his engines, while
Captain CUubb aud the astounded
Pyecroft rendered what assistance
they could.
When the last stitch was taken in
Hop Ling's side he was removed to his
flowered quilt again, whence he arose
after a few days of dreamy convalescence
to resume his interrupted duties
in the stokehold.
All this may sound more like a medical
student's dream than the sober
truth, but If you do not believe it, go

Since ilieu nothing lias Deen neara
from tiie correspondent.
The Semiovsky Regiment of Guards .
was dispatched to Moscow by train.
This is considered, rather ominous.
One menage received from Moscow
in the course of the day said that
troops with artillery were pouring into
the city, but the situation had; not
greatly chauged. The revolutionists
held sections of the Moscow-Kazan
Railroad. The military patrols were
engaged iu guerilla warfare witn the
revolutionists, who were peeking refuge
<n the roofs of houses and in the
narrow thoroughfares.
Another message from Moscow said
that-.during the night ^he artillery
worked at destroying the barricades.
The revolutionists, this message said,
were divided lnto-three "armies." The
first, consisting of 800 men armed with
rifles and pikes, were operating between
Moscow and Perovo, using the
railroad, which it controlled. Artillery
and cavalry were beinj employed
against *his torce.
The second "army" was armed especially
with bombs and revolvers, and
was composed of 1000 persons, in
whose ranks were mauy women, who
displayed not'ouly bravery but ferocity.
This force was operating iu the region
between the Sadovia district and the
Jewish Market, had many barricades to
prevent the passage of troops, was
operating in small groups and was attacking
patrols. When pressed these
revolutionists- disappeared into alleys
and houses. Artillery, cavalry and infantry
were being used against them.
The third and largest "army" was
operating in the regiou between the
Brest Railroad station and the Triumphal
Gate. It also had many barricades
and was engaged iu guerilla ti*c.
tics, making it difficult for troops to inclose
it. Some of the barricades were
battered down by artillery, but they
were re-erected &y the survivors.
Lieutenaut-G^neral Mistchenko, whq
commanded a Cossack brigade iu Manchuria
during the Russo-Japanese War.
has arrived at Moscow, and may have
taken over the command of the troops
there. He had a narrow escape from
capture by the revolutionists at St. Andrew's
Monastery on the outskirtsof the
city. The General and two members
of hts staff managed to get a sleigh
and reached Moscow by making a wide
detour, but fifty officers returning from
Manchuria, who were left behind,
were surrounded, captured, and forced
to, give up their arms. They begged
to be allowed to keep the gold swordsj
given them for bravery, but the revolutionists
refused, their request.
. < An. inspired statement in the SIovo
says the Government expects that the
revolt in Moscow will be completely
crushed within four days.
From an independent source the
Slovo learned that the bloodshed at
Moscow had been frightful and that
the casualties would reach 15,000.
The information of other papers was
such that, while admitting that the revolutionists
were showing 3igns of ex
nausuon, luey uiu nut reguru uie isauo
as decided. The Molva (Russ) deJ
clared that the area of fighting was increasing
instead of diminishing, asserted
that the insurgents were holding six
miles of barricades, and added:
"Even if the revolt falls now it will
only be a temporary reverse and it will
be recommenced iu January or February."
This aiso is the view of the revolu- .
tionary leaders here, who, however,
have not yet given up hope of success
nt Moscow. In any case, they assert,
they can in the meantime keep the
Government engaged in suppressing
continual uprisings from place to place,
believing that each city and town
should Itave its baptism of blood as a
preparation for the final upheaval.

HAMILTON ADMITS GRAFT .
Agent at Legislature of the N. Y.
Life Mak3S. Confessions. ,r:

of che Couipsoj-MoOkll Makes
3 Statement. * I
New York City.?Andrew Hamilton,
the legislative agent of tlie New York .
Life Insurance Company, in his report
to t!te trustees of that institution which t
was presented to the Armstrpng inves- 1
tigating committee offers to put up
$100,000 to cover any adjustment of
the account between himself and the |
company which stood open when he j
fiailed for Europe last summer.
The report was considered by the j
New York Life's own' investigating
committee at a meeting in the llano- ,
ver Bank Building offices of the company
in the afternoon which lasted J
from luncheon to long after dinner
time. Although neither the trustees
who constitute the New York Life's in-. 1
vesticflh'np emnmittee nor President'
John A. McCall, who attended their <
meeting; would say anything about the
report, it was learned that in addition
to the offer to put up $100,000 to cover t
the settlement of his account. Hamil- J
ton makes in the report a statement 1
somewhat in detail about the purposes;
for which he has expended the com- i
pany'a'mdney. t
He does not, however, render a finan* c
cial statement amounting to an ac- c
counting IU the ordinary sense of the
word, and does not disclose the names
of the people to whom he paid the
money, for reasons which, he says in
the report, are obvious' i
One important feature of the document
is chat no attempt is made to 1
J.'a. i ~. 2.1 Li. _ ..>u _ M iu A '
tusguise lue luiti iuau luuuii vi uio
money that Hamilton spent for legislative
purposes did-not go to lawyersappearing",
before committees. In fact,
it is .understood: that Hamilton remarks
specifically that at times in his
activities it was essential to employ
men who were not lawyers, but who
had relations with legislators. Details
which would lead to disclosing the
identity of individuals so employed are
lacking.
All of the members of the New York
Life's self-investigating committeeThomas
P. Fowler, Norman B. Ream,
Clarence H. Alackay, Hiram Steele and
Augustus G. Paine?with the committee's
counsel, John G. Milburn and exJudge
William H. Keener, met President
McCa*l in the Hanover Bank
ounuing omces 01 me company to uine
up the Hamilton report, whicli John C.
McCall, secretary of the S'ew York
Life, brought home from Europe with
him last week. The body of the document
was gone over in detail with Mr.
McCall so that he might throw as
much light as possible on the subject
matter. President McCall. it is understood.
was not, however, aware of the <
details of Hamilton's doings except as
to what was contained in the report,
for, as -ie testified on the stand, Hamilton
ran his end C the business himself
and L'is decisions in matters of expenditures
were unquestioned by the
administration. President McCall left
the meeting for r few minutes before 0
o'clock. To reporters he said:
"It would not be.courteousto ,the.. r
Armstrong committee to divulge the
nature of the report more thau to say
that it is very thorough." ,
"Is the report satisfactory to you?"
one of the reporters asked.
"I should say it was," replied Mr.
McCall.
It was said that a possible, if not
probable. result of the Hamilton' report
will be a movement to start a
general boodle investigation in the
Legislature to see if the names.which ,
Hamilton declines to disclose can be
brought out by other means. 0
Influences are at work to force this 0
question upon the attention pf the c
Legislature. i

Xsikne Caught by a Tin Box.
A large muskrat, with its head fast
fn a rusty sardine box, was caught
recently in the Susquehauna near the
lower bridge at Milton.,
It was seen swimming around in th$
river without apparent direction or
purpose. Itr'did- net resemble flEuy
species of four-legged animal known
to the oldest inhabitant along the West
Branch until it wi. caught and "the
sardine can was removed fronf its
head. Then it looked like any other
big muskrat.?Philadelphia Record.- .*
Advice With a Shave.
In Columbus avenue there is a combination
of signs in a window which is
rather curious. One sign says "Tonsorial
artist, shaving and haircutting."
The place is. in fact, i. large barber
shqt.. But nanging in the window is
another sign which reads: "Free legal
advice' given here."
This seems to be an improvement
over those shops where one can be
shaved and have a manicurist attend
to him at the same time for fifty cents
extra. Here you can get free legal
advice with every shave. Bright idea,
and one which ought to be popular

A new variety of clocks now being ^
made speak the hours instead of strik- J
lug them through an ingenious appli
cation of the phonograph. Many nerr- D
ous people who object to the strident H
and often harsh sounding bells pro- H
claiming the hours will appreciate a fl
softly modulated voice announcing the fl
time.
The French inventor has.-made
clocks with speaking discs of various
kinds to serve as alarms. You.'ean be
awakened by the vigorous crowing of
a cock or Jhe sound, of a well knoira
voice. They are arranged to call opt.
in various degrees of modulation, some
loud enough to rouse the heaviest
sleeper.
As alarm clocks they should hi time
supersede nil others, for the discs can
be changed as often as necessary, so
that the sleeper will not become so familiar
with the call as to sleep on,
which often 'happens in the case of
the ordinary clocks with bells. If a v
boy is wakened out of his slumbers by
a loud call to "Wake upf' or '"Time
for school!" uttered in the familiar
voice of his mother or father he 1?^
