Law Control of Hix Wife' Entire For rreine. (Copyright, 1900, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Oct. 31.—(New York World Ca- blegram--Special Telegram.)—Today in the first division of the civil court of Paris George Gould was appointed administrator of his sister Anna's fortune. President Beaudoin pronounced judgment at 3 o'clock. Neither the count nor countess were pres- ent, but Marquis Castellane, Bonl's father, was there. The audience was deeply in- terested. George Gould, who was applying for the appointment in the name of ali Anna’s brothers and sisters, was repre- enfed by Bonnet, a celebrity of the Paris bar. Anna's attorney opposed the petition simply as a matter of formality, she having consented on Friday last, when examined by the civil judges in chambers. Today Count Bonl's attorney simply rose to say bis client had authorized his wife to plead. i1y stated the case, that as the family was distressed at the inordinate expenditures of thelr sis- ter's husband, its members had prayed the eldest member, George, to take the noces- sary steps to save her and her children from ruin. Therefore, George Gould prayed the court Coun de Castellane, and her husband of any power touching their capital to con- tract debts and to place the fortune under the sole control of George Gould, a proml- nent business man and capitalist of the United States, brother of the detendant, who could furnieh ample security for the proper administration of the trust. The lawyer betng asked for the facts in support of the petitioner's plea, said: “Your honor, the situation is briefly this: Count Castellane himeelt s absolutely penniless. Under his guidance the defendant has spent 23,000, 000 francs of her money in four yeors, though her total fncome is but 3,000,000 Repeated adjurations from her fam- | 1ly had never the least effect upon the de- fendant’s husband’s squandering ways, be- sldes the injury to her reputation caused by arrying debts on all sides. The petitioner respectfully points out, your honor, that this rate of expenditure is bound to bring | speedy and permanent ruin to the children, whose interests the countess and her own relatives are especially anxious to protect. Arna's attorney then arose to say the detendant desired to raise the point. whether a foroigner could act as trustes according to the French law. A lengthy debate followed and the court finally de- clded thore 1 aothing which debars for- elgners from such functions and appointed George Gould permanently against Abna's lawyer's motion to limit the term to four years, n This means the Castellanes will have to obtain a reversing judgment to recover their freedom, which here is always ex- tremely hard to secure. Countess Anna saw all the reporters, but refused to dis- cues the matter, simply begging with tears in her eyes that they make light of the mat- ter and not revive stories which would hurt her husband’s feelings. She saya he suf- fers keenly from the exposure of his sit- uation, Count Bonni has been out of town the last three days, but returns tomorrow. His father, Marquis de Castellane, fs very sour against the court for choosing a foreigner, but admitted that when in order to prevent the sale of the castle, as was oxclusively ca- bled to the World, George Gould advanced $5,000,000, he obtained from Count Bonl a slgned. agreement that he would not oppose the trustee proceedings, but, quoth the mar- quis, “my son thought I could serve, but the Gould brothers won't agree. We feel George will administer with harsh parsi- mony. Boni, with difficulty, will bear his bondage."" The event creates great excitement In he won't submit to the Goulds' severe and contemptuous dictates and an early divorce may be expected. Others laugh at the fact that the penurious Marquis Boni's father I3 disappointed in having expected to secure a large trustee's percentage, which would proye a godsend to his net income, whiie George Gould offered to administer the trust gratls.

LONDON, Nov. 1—If the Daily Tele- graph's announcement has been a mere feeler to ascertain the temper of the pub- lic toward Lord Lansdowne's appolntment he would certainly never be minister of forcign affalrs, but although the secretary- ship has not been officlally declared, it is accepted as a set thing Standard s Plain Spoken, The Standard says that it has learned that Lord Selborne, under wecretary for the col onfes, and Hon. St. John Broderick, under secretary of state for forelgn affairs, will enter the cabinet and that Charles Thomp- #on Ritchie, president of the Board of Trade, will he given a higher post. It adds: “The appointment of the marquis of Lansdowne as uer majesty's principal secretary of state for forelgn affairs is an almost inconceiva- ble blunder. He has not the character and qualificaticns for such a position. The only plausible excuse for the appointment is that Lord Salisbury will still control the Forelgn office, while Lord Lansdowno re- lieves him of his routine duties The Daily Mail, which professes to be- lleve that such an appointment Is possible, says: “If Lord Lansdowne is appointed for- eign secretary and some other gentleman of agreeable manners {s made first lord of the admiralty, the country may lament a great opportunity lost forever.”” The Daily Chronicle says: ““We well may ask whether the country.would have voted quite so ‘kikakl’ had it known of this ap- yointment beforehand.™ g The Dally News observes: “Presumably the explanation of the appointment is that Lord Sallsbury wants a man he can easily control in foreign affairs, which would have been impossible it Mr. Chamberlain had been appointed. In fact, Lord Salisbury will still be the foreign minister with Lord Lansdowne as his clerk."” The Times to a large extent takes the view of the liberal organs, namely that Lord Sallsbury will now find time to be the real premler, and to exercise greater control over the whole cabinet instead of a mere nominal control. It belioves the re- port of Lord Lansdowne's appointment and defends him against newspaper attacks, and | says: “Theso critics would find it hard to indicate whom they would fiud better fitted for the post.” AMERICAN BANKS T0 HELP Financing of Swiss Railroads dertaking by Dr. Von Sieme of Deutache Bank, BERLIN, Oct. 31.—Dr. Von Slemens, president of the Deutsche bank, s in Parls arranging negotiations for financing the Swiss railroads.
