Parmalea was circling about the field
with the speed of a gale, passing In

IRISH GAIN MUCH PRESTIGE
Though Thrown Into Background by
Russian Burglars, Crime, Bolton '
Disaster and Spies Trial, Poll- ,
tics Holds Public Mind.
BT T. P. O'CONNOR.
(Special cable to the Chicago Tribune. Copy
right 1910. by the Tribune Company.)
LONDON, Dec 14. Within ths last
few dsys the approach of Christmas, the
murders of the police In the Hounds
ditch robbery, the gigantic coal mine dis
aster near Bolton and the conviction of
two British officers as spies in Germany
have pushed politics aside.
The Houndsdltch murders created a
profound Impression and In the first impulse-
the universal arming of the police
with revolvers and mors severe measures
against alien immigatlon were advocated,
but, though the episode was a startling
reminder of ths disorderly and danger
ous elements Introduced In England by
the Russian reaction, the London people
already talce a more sober view. - ,
The gigantic coal mine disaster brings
poignant grief to Irishmen, as a good
proportion of the 150 victims were
Irish, and mining is the one English In
dustry where Englishmen and Irishmen
have lost all racial antipathies In com
mon work and common perils.
Liberals Strong as Ever.
The espionage - trial was taken with
perfect calmness by the English press,
and the trial was conducted with fair
ness and an absence of rancor by the
German court. According to all journals
In both countries, it is expected that the
Imprisoned officers soon will be released
and the episode leaves less bad blood
than might have been expected.
Though for the moment submerged,
politics still haunts the general imagina
tion. As In a ceck-and-neck race on a
horse track, interest in the general elec
tions was maintained to the last possible
moment, as the supreme question was
whether the Liberal ministry would
come back as strong as at the begin
ning of the election.
Aa each day brought almost a mathe
matical equality of gains and losses to
the Liberals and Tories, the parties each
new day watched with the same feverish
eagerness. The last day of the election
Involved the whole problem, as the one
seat in Scotland held by the Liberals
was expected to go back to the Tories.
Asquith Prepares for Climax.
Now that ' the result is finally known,
the Liberals and Irish are profoundly
satisfied. Borne disappointment was felt
at the loss ot a few seats which better
management might have saved, or which
were lost by some accident or an Infin
itesimal majority, as in Mile-End. where
a Tory was returned by a majority of
two.
But the great fact remains that.
contrary to all election precedents, the
same Liberal ministry was returned
three times in succession and the sec
ond time on the same issue. That
Issue Is th abolition of ths gets power
of the House of Lords.
Premier Asquith gave Indication of
th urgent Importance and close ap
proach of the struggle on this question
by his . hurried visit to the King. Be
yond all question, Asquith and other
Liberal . ministers mean business, and
will withdraw from office unless they
are allowed to carry out their full
programme of reform.
There will be no real opposition, x
believe, from the King, or even from
the House of Lords. I regard the abo-

STRANGER KILLED;
OFFICER WOUNDED
PATROLMAN HENSOX - FIRES
WITH DEADLY EFFECT.
Sergeant Wanless Hit by Bullet.
Beatty Shoots at Fugitive Man
acled Man Escapes.
In a flerce exchange of shots be
tween three fpatrolmen and two men
who resisted arrest, an Austrian, name
unknown, was killed and Sergeant
Wanless wounded in the arm, shortly
after 1:80 o'clock this morning.
Patrolman Carl D. Henson fired the
shot that killed tne fugitive. The dead
man's companion, manacled, . escaped.
Sergeant Wanless' wound Is a slight
scratch on the arm. A
The trouble began at Third and
Burnslde streets when Officer Abbott
arrested two drunken soldiers. A
crowd gathered and Sergeant Wanless
ordered the men to disperse.
With a companion the Austrian re
fused to obey and Wanless at once
placed them under arrest.
While the officer was placing hand
cuffs on the Austrian's companion the
Austrian drew a gun and fired twice
at Wanless, one bullet passing through
his left coat sleeve. The assailant
then turned and fled down Third street
At this Juncture Frank Beatty, Dep
uty Sherifr, arrived and guarded the
handcuffed prisoner, while Wanless
started In pursuit.
Patrolman Henson heard the firing,
and as the Austrian reached Couch
street saw him Are at Wanluss. Hen
son's command to halt being unheed
ed, he fired twice at the fleeing man.
The first shot went wide, but the sec
ond struck the Austrian full inr the face.
Henspn shot and killed a negro April
16, 1908. after a revolver battle in
which 15 shots were fired.
SLASHER IS ABROAD AGAIN

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 24. (Special.)
"Jack, the Slasher," who two years ago
created a reign" of terror among women
oh both sides of the bay, has resumed
operations. The first report of his work
has been made to the police and Chief
Seymour has sent out a warning to all
policemen to be on the lookout for him.
. His method is to Jostle women on a
streetcar, along the crowded sidewalk or
In stores where there Is a great throng
and, thus engaging their attention, slash
their dresses with a knife or razor. He
first appeared in Oakland Just before
the Christmas holidays two years ago",
and with maniacal shrewdness managed
to frustrate all efforts to capture him
during the two months be was operat

night when one woman reported that her
skirt had been cut while she was shop
ping during the afternoon.

NAVARRO
GIVEN
TO REBEL TROOPS
Mexican General's Sur
render Affirmed.
ARMY HAS BEEN IN STRAITS
Government Denies Report,
but It Is Held Reliable.
FURTHER REVOLT FEARED
Diaz at Last Realizes Situation Is
Serious and Rushes Troops North.
Rebels Make Special Mark
of Federal Officers.
MEXICO CITY, Dec 24. (Special.)
General Navarro has surrendered to the
rebels, according to a report that reached
here today from authorities which have
heretofore proved reliable In the matter
of war news.
The Government denies the report and
says that he la awaiting reinforcements.
Officials say Pedernales is not menaced
seriously, by the rebels.
It Is known from other sources thai
Navarro has been having a hard time.
His men are not used to the severe Win
ter climate of Chihuahua. They are not
properly clothed and are short of food
and ammunition. It is considered here
that if Navarro has not surrendered, he
Is liable to do so at any time.
Another report today says that Na
varro has not surrendered, but ha de
serted with his men to the rebels. This
is not believed.
Government Shows Alarm.
The Government now acknowledges
that the situation is very serious. All
available troops are being sent north aa
fast as possible to assist Navarro. Yes
terday 300 prisoners were taken from the
Belan prison and drafted into the army.
A considerable portion of the army at
present Is made up of prisoners.
In all the battles that have occurred eo
far, it seems that the rebels have been
shooting particularly at officers. The
percentage of these wounded or killed is
very large. At the battle of Mai Paso
the rebels, who were intrenched on
mountains forming the side of a canyon,
rolled immense boulders down on the
troops. These did more damage than the
shooting.
Other Uprisings Feared.
The serious condition of affairs in the
north is the principal topic of conversa
tion here. There is much speculation as
to the outcome. It is expected that the
reverses suffered by the Government re- '
cently will lead to other uprisings
throughout the Republic as soon as they
are known. ,
The Government today placed a censor
over the only Mexican newspaper here
which has a leaning toward Madero. Re
cently it has been publishing reports
from the north in favor of the rebels. -
REBELS DYNAMITE BRIDGES
Crew of Captured Train Tells of Thrill
ing Trip.
EL PASO, Tex., Dec 24. Engineer
Cobbler and Fireman Mundoza, of the
Mexican Northwestern Railway, arrived
here late tonight and told a thrilling
tale of their experiences while In the
bands of the insurrectos. These men
were in charge of the engine captured
by the insurrectos on Thursday, and for
24 hours they were forced to run the
locomotive at the bidding of their cap
tors. With 3G men on board, the captured en
gine was first run as far south as Sa
blnal, when they started north, burning
and dynamiting bridges as they went. In
all eight bridges were burned and one
dynamited. About CO miles of the road is
completely prostrated.
At 4 o'clock Friday the engine was
abandoned at Guzman and the trainmen
