PARIS, Nov. 7.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Bpeclal Telegram.)—Captain Drey- | fus, In declining an invitatlon recelved from Marchloness Arconalt to spend some time at the castle of Gaesbeck, gave as an excuso that he was obliged to remain In Parls owing to his work relative to the revision of his case. ‘The World correspondent asked Joseph Reinach if he knew what decision had been taken in regard to the demand for a re- vision, addressed by Dreyfus to the minis- ter of war Mr. Relnach answered: “In regard to the minister of war, I can only cite the incidents occurring in the Chamber last April, when General Andre explained his position about the re-exami- nation of the Dreyfus dossier. Mr. Ribot pointed out, and very justly, according to my ided, that the minister of war did not need the assistance of magistrates in ar- ranging matters belonging to his depart- ment, “As for the inquiry made by General Ahdre, he could only turn over the docu- ments {n the case to the minister of jus- tice. n the new evidence lald before the min- ister of war {s the statement by Deputy Jaures that the judges of Rennes were in- fluenced by the famous bordereau with an- notations by the German emperor, though cnly an alleged photograph of this false piece of evidence had been seen by any of the officers, while others, knowing nothing of their own knowledge, were con- vinced of its existence owing to persistent representationg to this effect by certain Ppapers. “There Is also the letter that Deputy Jaures recelved from Demuster, with the formal statement of the relations of Colonel Schwarzkoppen, who finished by confessing to his supetior, together with P nere. kg ré is also Esterhazy's letter' .o his lawyer, Maitre Cabannes, with the declara- tion that the bordereau never was in the ' hands of Colonel Schwarzkoppen and ar- _rived intact and untorn at the ministry of facts and documents which would ad- . ground of judicial error. Dreyfus’ pardoned is no prevention of revision of his ‘case. The soldier Volsin was pardoned . long before the court granted his appeal - for ““The oniy question would be the applica- tlon or non-application of the wsentence evontually pronounved by the tribunal be- fore which the appeal wouid be heard. On this point contrary opinions prevail.” The Humberts' appeal has been refused. The appeal was based on the assertion that the assuming of a false name caused preju- dice to nobody, that the insertion of the fame of Crawford in the notarial papers ‘was not & forgery, and that the postal em- ployes In testifying were gullty of a breach of professional etiquette. So the Humberts must remain in prison. BAILY MAIL MAKES NEW RECORD Remarkable Achievement in Report- g Printing Chaniber. fmin’s Speech. (Copyright, 18, by Press Publishing Co.)

Though this was & remarkable journal- * fstic feat, pointing to the tmmensely useful development of the eltrophone in the fu- ture, that instrument is not yet perfected for such a purpose. When Mr. Chamber- lain was speaking straight before him his words were clearly audible, but when he turned to one side they became indistinet, and cheering and other interruptions from the audience blurred them.

POINTS THE (Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing C0.) PARIS, Nov. 7.—(New York World Ci blegram — Special Telegram.) — Paris, the city of monuments, has one grim memorial which s a veritable rendezvous of death. This is the Pont des Arts over the Seins which has pointed the way to the valley of the shadow to so many that it has come to be known as the bridge of suicides. All strangers are shown the cafe of the dead, and crossbones and all t! gruesome symbols of the grave are the fantastic decoration. It is a play upon horrors. But few have pointed out to them the grim reality, the bridge where hundreds have sought the 'surcease of sorrow. It is not easy to divine the reason why people bent on self-destruction choose tiiis spot. It is a wonderfully picturesque view point and the last fleeting glimpse of earth is falr enough to make even the desperate repent their rash courage. It s of iron and raised high in air, flights of steps lead- Beyond 1t towers Notre Dame and the delicate spire of Sainte Chahelle, One end leads toward the Institute, ‘the other to the colonnade of the Louvre, all of which, outlined against a French sky, are gray poems. About it goes on the traffic of the quays— the selling of old prints and books that have passed through many hands. There the sulcldes go—some to fiing them- selves from the helght of f{ts Iron balusters, others to crouch under it and drop sflently in the green Seine; vet others to run wildly down the stone stairs to the docks and dive head foremost Into the water. The Paristans are fnured to suicide. It 1s the thing to do if one 1s Alsappointed in love or money, and it is just as much the fashion with the butcher boys, waiters and seamstresses as with the “headlights” of the fashionable world. The other day an old woman, wretchedly dressed, hardly dressed at all in fact, leaped into the Selne. Two police life-savers, aided by a dog, pulled her out. The crowd that fol- lowed her was fiendish. The people ran and danced gleefully, as if it were a fote day, some fifty of them on that gloomy bridge of death. Not one seemed to mee any tragedy in a poor, frafl, ragged, old woman trying to finish with life because she lacked the strength to snatch her @ally bread from a cruel world. BRINGS, SUIT FOR MILLIONS Princess Radzewill Commences Action (Copyright, 193, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Nov. 7.—(New York World Ca- blegram — Special Telegram.) — Princess Catherine Radsewill, (who must not be confounded with Princess Albert Radal- will, nee Milmo, of Monterey, Mexico), has had one of the most sensational careers of the century. Russian by birth, she for many years was a secret diplomatic spy in the pay of Blsmarck. She was intro- diced, to the late Cecil Rhodes as a highly connected woman of great abllity who might be useful in his aggrandizing scheme. She set London hy the ears four years ago by declaring that §260,00 worth of jewels had been stolen from her room in the Carlton hotel. But it was subse- quently decided that these jewels did not exist. Bhe went to South Africa with let- ters of introdyction to Mr. Rhodes from Lord Sallsbury and other eminent titled Englishmen. She established a newspaper at Capetown In the Rhodes interest with his money and shortly before his death she was accused and convicted of forging his name to bills for $35,000 and was sen- tenced to two years' detention. Now, on arriving in England she has begun suit for $7,000,000 against the trustees of Cecll Rhodes' estate. This sum repre- sents commissions and claims for alleged services rendered to Mr. Rhodes. She as- serts that her conviction tn Capetown was | procured by fraud by the suppressing of essential documents and owing to the fact | that the prosecution was conducted under martial law. Bhe has engaged Rufus | Isaacs, ove of the ablest, keenest and most courageous of the king's counsel, to con- duct her case. The suit, it is declared, s a serfous undertaking, backed by sensa- tional evidence of a documentary charac- ter establishing her position of, a trusted intermediary of Rhodes, whose confidence she lost because lukewarm about the war. Although she is nearly 60 years old she is still & handsome, distinguished looking | woman. Her resourcefulness is ' only equaled by her tenacity and pluck. Dr. Jameson and Rhodes’ other intimates laugh her clalms to scorn, hut nothing daunted, she vows she will establish the claim, DURAND TO SAIL THIS MONTH New Ambassador Kindly R Lk to Washington mbered by Eng- in Madrid. (Copyright, 1%8, by Press Publishing Co.) MADRID, Nov. 7.—(New York World C: blegram—Special Telegram.)—Sir Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador here, who has been transferred to Washington, in- formed the World correspondent that he expected to sall from England for New York November 21, or at the latest No- vember 3. His wife and daughter will fol- low later. Sir Mortimer postponed his de- parture from Madrid until yesterday on ac- count of his audience with King Alfonso on Thursday to present his letters of re- call. The British colony presented an address, to which Durand replied that he certainly was much pleased at being appointed to Washington, though he regretted to part with the colony, whose members had given him so much sympathy and support. He expressed gratitude for the king's appre- clation of his efforts. Lady Durand and her daughter als> expressed warmly thelr gratitude for & casket of lovely silver, a tollet table and a clock given by the women of the colony.

CONSOLIDATING TORY FORCES WITH HIM Plan to Dissolve Parliament to Bhorten His Time to Work on People. FEAR HE WILL WIN IF GIVEN FREE HAND 18 RIDING Apparently Has an Unlimited Amount of Money with Which to Oarry n His Protectionist Propaganda. (Copyright, 103, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Nov. 7.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Joseph Cham- berlain's protectionist campaign is afford- ing a marvelous demonstration of his.per- sonal power and talents—some say asa demagogue. Although all the great fiscal authorittes, including five ex-chancellors of the exchequer (two being from his own party), are against him, he steadily is con- solidating the overwhelming bulk of the tory forces around his banner. He s even making headway with the working classes in the teeth of the solemn warn- ings of their leaders that the result of his policy must hit them most sorely by en- hancing the cost of the necessaries of life. The intellectual element of torylsm Is hostile to him. The Quarterly Review, the highest expression of tory tradition, characterizes his speeches as ‘“rhetorical bunkum," His figures are ccatradicted, his argu- ments are’ assailed, his theories and his ‘whole case is covered with ridicule with- out affecting him or his following. He calmly lgnores every exposure and retracts nothing, however glaring. His only ap- parent recognition of his alleged mis- handling and muddiing of statistical data is implled in his devoting himself now mainly to appeals to sentiment, to anti- forelgn prejudice—to precisely the same strata of thought and feeling he so suc- cesssfully touched when working up the Bouth African war fever. Every one who differs from him, even unionists like Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, who were Intimately associated with his previous essays In jingolsm, he stigmatizes as anti-patriot, and this scheme 48 un- mistakably telling with the country. His opponents are painfully realizing this and the tory free traders are being driven to combine with the liberals in an effort to force a dissolution of Parliament at the earliest moment as the only hope of saying themselves from defeat. Two months ago this was regarded as impos- sible, His organization is spending with a lavish hand money which has been secretly acquired. Sir Ernest Cassel is sald to h.v- given $250,000, with @ premise -of further munificent contribiitions. But Mr. Cham- berlain's chief financial backers are be- leved to be the Rand millionaires, whose first interest, like his own, is to divert at- tention from the consequences of the Boer war and to obtain a free hand in introducing cheap forelgn labor into South Africa. ANOTHER FAMINE IN R"3SIA Failure of Harvests in Man) tricts Leaves Peasants in Distress. Din- (Copyright, 1908, by Press Publishing Co.) ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 7.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Teiegram.)— Large districts in Russia are again threat- ened with famine and epldemics of typhus and scariet fever associated with the fam- ine. The provinclal government of Niji Novgorod, Gorbatoff, Aryamas and Rlazan are beginning to send ominous reports, which mean & winter of awful suffering for millions of helpless peasants, men, women and children. The harvest was a complete failure in large areas' of the central and ecastern provinces. Cases of typhus and scarlet fever among the adults, hunger, typhus and skin diseases among the chil- dren begin to show with alarming fre- quency. In numerous districts the peasants have disposed of all their cattle, so the children will be deprived of milk. Count Stehell- koff of the Red Cross soclety fears that if the government falls to take immedia steps to help the peasantry there may be a repetition of the terrible year of 1891 in a region inhabited by 16,000,000 peaple. In forty-one districts the summer wheat was destroyed. In 106 others the rye, the chief breadstuft of the people, has been a total fallure, In twenty-eight there was no har- vest at all From numerous districts in Siberia come tales of distress, owing to the grain having been harvested béfore it was ripe, causing it to develop poison and rendering it unfit for food. LAUNCH TURBINE WAR SHIP Amethyst to Be Largest Vessel Ever Driven by This Kind of Engine. (Copyright, 1908, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Nov. 7—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Amethyst, the first turbine-driven war ship, was launched this week at Armstrong's Elswick ship- yards. It is of 3,000 tons, 360 feet long, has forty-foot beam, its speed is twenty-three knots and it 1s the largest turbine vessel afioat. Parsons suppiled the turbines, in- troducing a novelty in the shape of two sets of turbines, one for high, another for low cruising speed. Hitherto economical low speed crulsing was provided for in the turbine torpedo boat destroyers by a se{ of the usual reciprocating engines. Two other war ships of exactly the same type are nearly ready for launching, having ordinary engines, for testing in competi- tion with the turbines.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 7.—(New York World _ Cablegram—8pecial ~Telegram.)— Grand Duke Cycil of Russia has dared a £00d deal In betrothing himself to his cousin, the Princess Victorla of Saxe-Co- burg. She formerly was the wife of the grand duke of Hesse, also her cousin, with whom she arranged a divorce on the ground of incompatibility, by mutual consent. That | marriage was not a happy one. The grand duke is an easy going, rather phlegmatic individual, whereas the grand duchess is a bundle of nerves and, like all three daugh- ters of the duke of Bdinburgh, possessed of the strongest will imaginable. Her sister, the crown princess of Rou- mania, makes no pretense of showing any deforence or attention to her husband, who apparently g quite satisfied as long as he is left alone to his books and his dreams. The Princess Victorla is a daring horse- woman and ‘when driving a four-in-hand with perfect mastery she is utterly uncon- ventional. The Grand Duke Cycll, between whom and the czardom thers are only three lives, 1s a clever, none too robust young fellow, but he has become completely captivated by his dashing cousin, and even if he is cut off from the succession he declares his firm resolve to marry her. He is the eldest son of tae Grand Duke Viadimir, IRELAND’S COLORS POPULAR Paris Fashio Set the Rage for Green in All the Smart Costumes. (Copyright, 108, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Nov.

CONGRESSIONAL ACTION UNNECESSARY Administration May, However, Matter in Hands of Congress Place UNITED STATES TO PROTECT FOREIGNERS Accedes to Request of British and ‘Wi1ll Grant Similar Favors to All, Deniring to Avold Naval Display. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Today's advices to the State department indicated a regular development of the new government of Panama. The most important announce- ment indicative of a speedy establishment of full diplomatic relations with the new republic was the appointment of Buna~ Varilla as the agent of Panama in the United States. With him the United States government will transact any necessary business in an unofficial way pending the appointment of regular ministers plenipo- tentiary. . Mr. Gudger, the United States consul general at Panama, who sails tomorrow for that port, called at the State depart- ment today for further conference with Secretary Hay, at whose Instance he later conferred with the president over the situ- ation. The British government has formally re- quested the State department to look after the British subjects on the Isthmus and similar requests from other Buropean na- tions are expected, all of which will be promptly granted. There are reasons why it is desirable that a large forelgn naval representation in isth- mian waters should be discouraged just now until the new government is perma- nently established, and it is belleved here there will be little delay about such estab- lishment. As soon as there is a regular government at Panama in place of the present junta the State department expects to take up negotlations for the execution of the canal project. The State department has decided that, 50 far as it is concerr., it regards the treaties that governed <olombia or New Granada, as still in force and that there- fore, all of the concessions, including that of the Panama Canal company, are valid and in force. Spooner Act Suficient. The Btate department also has decided that notwithstanding the fact that the Spooner canal act In terms required the United States government, before beginning the canal, to conclude a treaty with Colom- bla, the spirit of the act will be met by the conclusion of an arrangement with the new state of Panama on the lines of the Spooner act, and it will proceed to this end. In other words, it is held that just as the engagements entered into by the United States with New Granada have ever since been regarded as binding In regard to Colombia, 50 accepting the common doc- trine in such cases as binding, the depart- ment is authorized to read “Panama’ in- stead of Colombia in the Bpooner act. In this sense, it is pointed out, the presi- dent will find it unnecessary, unless he cares to do 0, to g0 to congress for fur- ther legislation to authorize the construc- tion of the Panama canal. Significant of the strength of this deci- slon was the appearance at the State de- partment today of Rear Admiral John G. Walker, retired, president of the isthmian canal commission, who has been in fre- quent conference with the president and Becretary Hay in the past three da Upon him will probably devolve the in- {tiation of the practical working out of the canal project and he is keeping himself fully posted as to every development here, while Colonel Willlam M. Black of the en- gineer corps of the army, who happened to have been eéngaged in looking after the physical aspects of the canal problem on the isthmus for the past few months, has been furnishing information from that quarter. From Colon Consul Malmors reported, under today's date, as h)lluw]-' Cakin Colon_and imed at 10 o'clock yester- day English, French and American consuls being present. Launch has been sent to Bocas del Torro to proclaim independence here. 3 A cablegram from United States Minister Beaupre, dated at Bogota, stated: There are rumors in Bogota of serious disturbances on the isthmus and it is thought there will be an immediate move- ment for independence. It is very difficult to obtain trustworthy information. Shortly after midnight Mr. Varilla in- formed the Assoclated Press that he brought with him credentials and full pow- ers as minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary of the Republic of Panama. He will call on Secretary Hay tomorrow and inform him he 1s ready and empowered to begin canal negotiations immediately, He thinks the people of Panama will vote the new president full powers to ratify a peace treaty at once. France Wants Our Assurance. PARIS, Nov. 7.—Before giving a formal recognition by France of the new Republic of Panama, Forelgn Minister Delcasse has decided to secure a specific declaration, that the new regime will carry out Colombla's former obligations in connection with the canal and other French property interests. Until this declaration Is unmistakably given, French recognition will be withheld. As soon as given there is the best reason to belleve that France will recognize the independence of the new state. Cable in- quiries are now proceeding to secure the specific assurance requested. The French |consul at Panama cabled yesterday that Panama would assume Colombia's former treaty and legal obligations. This is con- | sidered by the officials here as making practically certain the intentions of the new state towards French property rights, but in order to remove the slightest question of doubt a definite declaration from the new regime s awaited. When this is received it is expected that the French course toward the recognition of the new state will follow substantially that taken by Washington yesterday, the French consul at Panama being directad to enter into relations with the new authori- ties and for all letters of recognition fol- lowing later. The officials here construe the action taken by the United States as being equiva- lent to & full recognition of the new state. Troops ou Way to Colen.

JOBEPH, Mo,, Nov. 7.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Edward Cudahy of Omaha wants Thomas Costello, allas Thomas Murphy, held and punished for the crime of partici- pating in the kidnaping of young Gudahy, @as shown by Costello's confession. A rep- resentative of Mr. Cudahy wired the police from Omaha tonight that no expense would be spared to secure the conviction of Cos- telio. “I knew the minute I gaw Costello that he answered the description of ‘the third man’ in the case,” sald Captain McNamara, “‘consequently I began a thorough investi- gation. To make sure I looked up the de- scriptions of the kidnapers again. Besides answering the description of the third man exacly Costello shows perfect knowledge of the case, of the little house where young Cudahy was held a prisoner and of the saloons in the nelghborhood that could only be acquired from actual contact with them."” Regarding the man Callahan, arrested by the police and finally acquitted for lack of evidence, Costello told the police that he was in the court room the day a sensa- tion was sprung by a state witness pro- claiming that Callahan was one of the three kidnapers. “Callahan gave himself up because he was dead certain he could not be connected with the case,” Costello is reported to have sald, “and he was a surprised man when the girl witness identified him as one of the men, when I was the man and was sit- ting In the very courtroom at the time. I| knew she was not sure.” The man refused to talk tonight other than to curse the newapaper reporters.
