New York, Feb, 14.---Itealiziug that
hope
wt e uselese after he baa been pro-
nouneed eufferer from rabies, Fred -
crick Unger, for twenty years a deitier
in dogs, cited yeaterday owning. la ,new
)1:orle
To the moraeut when the bat tont
fatal speam cateeea his death, be ketiew
14 had been inevitable, but aucepted, the
4tuation he e11 and did not waver 14
bis determination to face the eaa with-
out n sign of fear, us he had resolved
when, early on Thursday,. he reeognized
fwmptouts Of rabies, and went to a neigh-
boring phyeician to have his well aline-
nosie verified.
For many year Mr. Unger, who was
fifty-three years eta, heel scorned infec-
tion by rablea. Althaugh fifty doge
had bitten him, it was not until two
months ago that a rabid. animal wound-
ed him, Dr, H. L. Barker, of Woodside,
where Mr. Unger lived,ons Thursday
afternroon pronounced h.uu a victim. of
rabice,
741ven thou a gleam of hope sprang up
and Mr. Unger followed Dr, Baker ni in-
struotion to go to the Pasteur Institute
that physioians there might positively de-
termine the accuracy of Vie aisio.noeie.
As soon as Dr. George G. R:unbend,
director of the institute, :saw Mr. Unger
4D11 'Thursday ne knew Lope for him had
passed and that death would come de -
pito any treatment. Pity was the first
teeling for Mr. Unger that Dr, Rambeud
expealeneed, but it quickly was re-
placed by admiration.
"I know I have hydropheaia and I
know thee you can do nothing, to cure
um. All I seekis relief from the suffer-
ing I know must be endured," was the
greeting with which the victim met the
phyeiemn. There was not a trace of
fear, no the slighted sign of emotiou.
That he knew he was to die was as evi-
dent to the physician as were the un-
mistakable symptoms of the .diseitee.
°Re kind to me," added Mr. Unger,
Nand let me die as easily tie possible."
Dr. Rambaud suggested that Mr, Un-
ger enter New York Hospital, where he
might be under the constant care of phy-
sicians and at the same time receive the
institute's treatment. The man had
made the journey in company with his
two daughters from Woodside to the
building of the institute in West Twenty-
third ki !meet in a trOney ear, apparently
in the beat of health, yet carrying within
him the knowledge that probably before
another day be would be dead.
Mr, Unger was unable to furnish a
comprehensive history of the case to the
physeeians. He earned his living buying,
selling and treating dogs. Ho was high.
ly educated, spoke four languages, and le
taid to have been conneeted with a fam
ily that once was wealthy in Germany,
tedeore he was born,
When the patient realized that a rabid
animal had. caused the infection Mill
must result in his death ha hied to re-
member the incident. The, physicians
told him it must have bean about two
months ago, but beyond recollecting that
about that time he had dipped more
than twenty dogs, he eould remember
--a nothing which 'might throw light upon
er the infliction of the fatal wound.
'finger made his home in a small
cottage in Second street, Woodside, the
building in which occurred the murder,
in 1897, of William Guldensuppe, for
which Martin Thorn died in the electric
ebair, While Mrs. Augusta Neck was sent
to prison.
In his business as .e dealer in dogs Mr.
Unger had become. /emit* with the
symptoms of hydrophobia. He recognized
metantly that the dread disease was
threatening him when at breakfaet at-
tempts to drink coffee proved futile, the
muscles contrasting at very effort to
swallow.
'prom this ease more than from any
of the mote than one hundred that have
come under my observation," Dr. Ram- ,
baud said yesterday, "should be drawn
the lesson that the Paeite.ur treatmenl.
may and doee prevent tablets but cannet
cure, If persons would only realize the
danger of infection from even the slight-
-.11(est bite deaths euch as these would not
emir. Had Mr. Unger come to the in.
etitute when he was bitten, or had he
held. the dog which inflicted the wound
for observation, undoubtedly he would
be alive to -day."
ATTACKED BY DOG.
Collie Owned by Mr. Trimble in
Chingnacousy Probabiy Mad.
Brampton, Feb. 13.—Some days ago
a collie dog owned by Benjamin Trim-
ble, Township of Chinguacousy, suddenly
became vicious and attacked a young
man named 131aek. The animal's teeth
failed to lacerate the flesh owing to the
thickness of the clothing worn by young
Black. The dog had always been of a
peaceful diepopition until, taking on a
wild look, he etatted snapping at differ-
ent objects, hie career being ended by
a shot from a rifle. To -day High Con-
etable Broddy and Dr. Stork, Dominion
live stock inspector, visited Mr, Trim-
blets premises, and secured the ttoimes

internal injuries.
Not realising the seriousness of his

Balfour is unable to take office. The
latter looks with satisfaction on the
situation, and says future biatoriane
will remark upon the quiet coolness

selves into an impasse,
FINAL DECISION TODAY.
Ruiner is busy with the Prime Minis-
ter's visit to the King at Brighton on
Saturday, but Ur. Asquith went imme-
diately for the week -end, into the couu-
try, and neither the namesof the new
Ministers nor anything authentic) re-
garding the Government's policy has
been allowed to leak out. It is believed
that a final decision will ba taken when
the Premier communicates the Ring's
views to thp Cabinet Council to -morrow.
It is said, liovrever - that at the
last moment. Asquith yielded to
the Extremists and the Redmonites,
and, on the ground that discussion of
the address and the Budget would
postpone the question of the veto of
the House of Lords until, aftentilas-
ter. had consented to introduce the
veto bill before the Budget, even
though this course endangers the
Budget and may bring about another
general election in a few months.
A signifioant statement was ramie
last night by one of the Liberal whips,
3. M. F. Fulier, ,who in a epeecle at
Trowbridge, admitted that within the
lad three days difficulties had arisen
wilich made it quite possible that the
House of Commoes would reject , the
Budget. They did not know what at-
titude the Nationalists might assume,
ana it was quite possible that they
might within a few months have to
fight another general election on at is-
sue of supreme importauce to the demo-
cracy of the eountry.

The, Government bad to get money

them to keep their weapons sharp

them.

ston Spencer Churchill will succeed

routine Birrell and John Burns retain-
ing their present offices,
SITUATION CRITICAL
Mr. I, N. Ford,, the well-informed eel. -
respondent of The New York Tribune,
eabling to his paper a lengthy review of
the British political situation, says in
part as to- the question whether, the
"veto" or the Budget should have pee-
ference in the Government prograranie:
"The risks of a sudden dowelall are
groat when there is a furious quarrel be-
tween Messrs. oTrien am Redmond and
each is bent on convincing the Irish
people that he is against the Govern-
ment. Still, the Prime Minister has a
potent resource in tbe fact that the fac-
tions are without me/ley and are dna
prepared for another eleetion, and. while
the Labor and. Nationalise leaders can
defeat him at their own discretion, he
oleo holds the whip hand over them. lf
he escapes he will owe his deliverance
from the imminent ,perils to their dread
of premature elections when their tree-,
suries are empty rather than to the
patriotism and magnanimity of the Un-
ionists. There are optimists who assume
that the Tories will vote for the Budget
anti avert a financial catastrophe when
the faetions are neglecting recklessly
conditions of national safety. It Is znore
probable, however, that they will follow
the mandate of their constituencies and
vote against the Budget, leaving tosthe
warring factions the responsibility for
breaking up the coalition majority. Mr.
Balfour has not revealed his tactics, but
it is RTI open secret that he will wait for
the Primo Minister to take the initia-
tive, and without intriguing.with the La.
bor section or either Irish faetiolt allow
them to oVerturn the Government When-
ever they wish to do so.

Windsof Man Tells of Peonage and

Detroit, Feb. 13.—The Neeits has re-
ceived a despatch from .Austin, Texas,
telling of the stories told there by Er-
nest Armstrong, a native of Windsor,
Ont., who has just secured his release
from the Burleson.county convict farm.
Armstrong's description of the system
of peonage in force on the farm brought
about an investigation which resulted

maintainiog a system of peonage Ana
two officials for conspiraey to hold per-
sons in peonao°e.
Deseribine the tortures undergone
there, Armstrong said: "I saw a negro

and howled and begged for mercy to tho

with a leather strap, six feet long load-

was used to knock him down. 'They

prize, may he a greater prize than ntan
has ever dreamed, Recent investigatioxis
in the Innoko district, the central ICus-
kokwin valley and.the new Haditared
district, now partially finished by the
United States Geological Survey, dis-
close new placer gold districts, which
promise very heavy returns. The little
territory bought from Russia for $7,000,-
000 in 1807 has to the present time paid
$4800,000,000 in gold alone since 1880,
when placer mining there began. The
discovery by agents of the survey of
placers on the small streams in areas
which are drained into the lower -Yukon
or the lower Kuskokwin prove that the
'formation of the upper Yukon belts ex-
tend farther southwest than had gen-
erally been supposed, awl that they bear
gold at many scattered localities
throughout their extent. The Inolco dis-
trict has attracted some attention al-
ready and other areas are now being
exploited with prospects of large re-
sults, Sufficient prospecting has been
done there to indieete the presence of a
pay streak from fifty to seventy feet

mers of the Pacific Navigation Company
aro racing south to -day in the desperate
hope that they may save the 88 per-
sons who when 'last heard from were
clinging to the stern of the British stea-
mer Lima, as the vessel was pounding
beeself to pieces oh a reef in the HUarn-
blin passage in the Strait of Magellan.
Two hundred and five nersona were
taken from the wreek by the British
steamer Hatumet, under difficulties
which filially compelled the Ilatumet to
abandon the work of rescue. Pour of
the liatumet crew sacrificed their lives
before their captain commanded his
erew to cease their efforts. The Retu-
rnee has arrived hero and to -day her
captain told the story of the wreck and
rescue. Ite said:
"When we sighted the wreck we put
out small boats which closly approacted
the stern of the Vino where passengers
and ereev had gathered. We mado a con-
nection between the two vessels with 500
fathoms of cable and were successful in
lowering 205 persone into our small
boats and in gobbing them up on the
Hatumet. Heavy seas were rolling,
which made the work of rescue pelilous,
and filially the Lima's end of the cable
slipped from her stern and became en-
tangled in the 'rocks. The Lima threw
out another line which our chief mato
made a,daring line,
to piolc up. The
second connection was eventually made,
but the line suddenly tightened and up-
set one of our small boats, and our chief
mate, the ship's carpenter, and the
fourth engineer and a Spanish steward
were drowned. My boat rescued the
others of tho small boat's crew.
"I signalled the captain of the Lima
that we had but one smael boat left and
that as this was badly strained we had
better proceed to A.ncud for farther es-
sistance. Unfortunateey eve were delay-,
ed off Aneud by a dense fog. The Lima
has a strong list to starboard, and her
port quarter is under water. She has
17 feet of water in her engine, room.
Where we last saw her she lay in a dan-
gerous position told was striking hard.
"She struck during a heavy fog and
in a stormy sea and with a total loss."

ear and brought the bar clown with al-
most full Rime on his head, Half -blinded

hind him, leaving Stroyveris at large in

ing blow on the arm, Stroyvens, hidden

dealt another vicious blow at the offi-
cers before being finally overpowered. He
fought like it fiend.

quantity of blood. Livingstone'e injuries

CABINET CHANGE.
Hon. Raoul Dandurand May Join
Laurier Ministry,
Ottawa, Feb. 13.—Owing to the fact
that Hon. L. Ie. 13rodeur's recovery from
his serious illness of the past month or
so will necessarily be slow, and that he
will probably be unable to undertake
any heavy work or„responsibility for at
least six months, it may be that a
change in the portfolio of Marine and
Fisheries will be found necessary. Al-
though it is hoped that Hon. Mr, Bro-
deur will not be compelled to withdraw
from the Government, a fairly evelIele-
Rhea rumor prevalent to -night in Parlia-
mentary circles is to the effect that
Hon. Raoul Dandurand, ex.Speaker of
the Senate and oue of the most promi-
netit and able Liberals in the Province
of Quebec, stay be induced to enter the
Government in the near future in the
event of Mr. Brodeur's illeess ueeessitate
