Should the imperial meeting be decided upon later it will prob ably occur upon the occasion of the czar's return from his annual visit to Copenhagen and while the emperor is attending the east Prussian army manoeuvers, 1t now appears that the statement widely published to the effect that the emperor is golng to Abazzia Is incorrect.

The Cologne Gazette severely criticizes Count von Misbach's statement and declares that instead of the majority of the members of the committee being staunch adherents of the gold standard, on the contrary, elght are staunch bimetallists and that there are only six thorough going gold men. Other newspapers assert that Count von Misbach rosigned because he sees there is no solution of the question possible. The committee has adjourncd for a fort- night in order to study the many documents which has been submitted to it that is likely to bring about a solution of the vexed stiver question.

Copyrighted 184 by Eress Publishing Compny.] PARIS, Feb. 24.—(New York World Cable —Special to The Bee)—Princess Chimay, daughter of the late Captain Ward of De- troit, Mich., gave a dinner Wednesday In celebration of her 21st birthday, and inci- dentally of the partition of Captain Ward's estate. Nino millions of property were divided between the widow, the princess and young Ward, whose exploits have made him notorious. Shortly after death Mrs, Ward offered his shares of stocks and other investments for §50,000, but could get no purchaser. Today they will realize $9,000,000. The princess has been the mingled won- der and despair of American colonies in Burope during the last five years. Bxceed- ingly beautiful and piquantly unconven- tional, she is the object of most varying A year or two ago her marriage ice Chimay, who Is fourteen years than she, eclipsed her eccontric gayety. The prince is a member of the most ancient nobility of France and Bel- gium. At the time of the death of Prince Baldwin, heir to the Belgian throne, current gossip assoclated a Chimay with the mys- terious tragedy, resembling not a little the end of Crown Prince Rudolph. Baldwin was an adored profligate and at the age of 19 boasted to his cronies that he would capture the princess Chimay, of whom he became insanely enamored on the first meet- ing. The Belglan press suppressed ‘the de- tails, but gossip had it that he was shot by Prince Chimay in an audaclous nva- sion of the husband’s domesticity. An- other Princess Chimay married the disso- lute Duke Bouffrement, whose recent death revived the most sensational scandal of the third empire. Young Ward, the brother of the princess, not long ago eloped with his wife's maid and settled in Paris, He figured in a notorious seandal a year or two ago and underwent conviction. When his wife brought suit for divorce or separation he threw a bundle of papers on a table before her lawyer as a balm to his injured wife's feelings, and from these papers she has since drawn an income of $16,000 a year. older D THE DUEL.

[Copuriahten 1594 oy Pressublish ng Company.\ GUAYQUIL, Ecuadof, Feb. 24,—(New York World Cable—Special to The Bee)— Ecuador has accepted Peru’s proposal for the arrangement of the boundary question. This averts the threatened war. The boundary dispute originated early in the century and has already beem the occasion of one war, which was about 1823, a couple of years or so after the country was freed from Spanish rule. Under the Spanish rule the territory comprised in Peru, Ecuador, Colombla,and part of Bolivia, constituted one province, governed by a viceroy. About 1762 the king divided it, malking the river Maranon the dividing line between the north and south province, the former being governed from Bogota and the latter from Lima. Ning or ten years later the king issued a decrea changing the lino and bringing the boundary. of the Peruvian province nearly up to Quito, the present capital of Beuador. Before the decree could he put into effect, however, the wars for independence began and the boundary line was never changed, so Beuador claims. Peru has always contended that it was. The war ended with an agreement to regard the Maranon as the boundary line, but Ecuador alone accepted, Eighty of the Killed and Many Wounded.

Bimetallism in England is gaining converts. It is understaod that Mr. Lidde dale, ex-governor of the Bank of England, is a strong advocate of an international agreement for a joint standard. Bimetal- lism is no longer the ereed of a handful of cranks. Nearly every economist of eminence is on its side. The international conference must be reopened. France, Germany and the United States are anxious that this should be done. Surely our interests are as great as theirs.

I suppose your honor is under the mpression that u Liave done duty. But this plea of insanity has been set up by my attorneys without my consent. It was infamous, a dirty and a disreputable plea and done agaiust my objection ow, as for Judge to my mind from the manner in stions to be a juror something Wrong. regard to summoning the veniremen. Juror Larkin came hore on a written statement, but of course the defendant had no control over this part of the court’s work. The Byening News contained a whole column about it at the thne and it is not necessary for me to go into it further now. We had no opportunity to wateh the proceedings in summoning the furors.” “But this is not the question. At the very beginning of this trial the court told mo my attorneys would attend {o my case. Novertholess they did not. As stated, your honor, bofore, they set up this infamous plea of insanity against my will. But, your honor, the issuc is: Did T do right or did 1 do wrong? Did I do my duty or did I not? I do the will of God or did I not? This point has never been touched upon and I say it s the only lasue before the court. “Of course, if Idid wrong I should be con- demned.

No doubt the motives of these men were humane, but it was through the connivance of Jailer Morris that they got into that ail. “Now your honor and everybody says that Harrison was a great and good man, I deny this. A good man is generally faith- ful to his friends and Harrison was not. If he had been a good man he would not have been hostile toward me. “But this newspaper trust, your honor. We have been attacked by this newspaper court and if the sentence Is carried out you will all be at the bands of thls newspaper trust. No man's character or reputation will be safe.
