- Return ehcbin France Sept. 1, or Sooner, on Demand. Before his departure for Europe Rich- ard. A. McCurdy, former president of the Mutual Lite Insurance Company, mecording to De, Lancey Nicoll, his per- #ohel counsel, entered into a written Agreement with District-Attorney Jer- ome ta return to this country at any time his’ presence !s demanded and to réturn by Sept. 1 In any event. It is stated that the District-Attorney Was on the point of preventing Mr. Mc- Curdy's departure for Europe when he shown the certificates of physictans Wroperly sworn to before he agreed w permit the sailing of the former prest- @bit of the Mutual. ‘he physicians concurred !n the state- ment that the former president of the Mutual was in a physical condition de- Munding absolute rest and removal | from the scese of his many troubles. ‘This is held to still further emphasize the threatening condition of his affairs. Had Kept Him Watched. The story came out through a con- Wersation with the District-Attorney, who is represented to have asserted that he did aot allow Mr. McCurdy to leave thé country until he had turnished sat- Mefactory, assurances that he would re- turn the moment nis presence was de- aired by the authorities. Tt was gathered from what Mr. Je- Pome said that he had kept the aged in- BUrance man under espionage, and when unicated with by Mr, McCurdy’s @ttorneys had declined to assent io the y abroad in the circumstances: It was that the physicians’ certificate was shéwn him and the’written undertaking entered into. “Mr. McCurdy {s in no danger of| @rovecution upon any criminal charge.” @iia Mr. Nicoll “fut his condition, aa all the world knows, was desper: He insisted upon reading the news-| papers and was continually harrowed Over reports which concerned him. I not belleve that Mr. Jerome in- tehded to present him before the Grand Jiiry, but at the same time Mr. Mc-| Curdy did agree to return to this coun- try at any time ho might be requested. “Phe story has been printed that the former President of the Mutual had expatriated himeelf and intended to! afend the remainder of his years abroad. ‘hts {s nonsense.

At one time spray blew so fiercely against the smoking-room as to render that resort distinctly uncomfortable, and great swells repeatedly washed the ship from end to end. Walting on the dock were Gen. and Mrs. Fred Grant, who arrived at 0 o'clock to meet the new Russian Am- bassador to Janan and his wife. M. and Mme. G, Bakhmoeteff, the latter formerly Miss Mamie Beale, a daughter of the late Gen. Edward Beale, Minister to Austria under Grant. Took Two Hours to Dock, The ship was nearly two hours warp- ing Into the landing owing to wind and tide and to heavy masses of floating jee. Tug after tug was called, but each time the huge ship seemed almost in position to enter her slip an extra strong current would carry her back into the steam, Finally, with the ald of seven sturdy tugs and many Unes to shore, the ship was berthed, and the shivering oassengers rushed down the gangway into the arms of shivering, waiting friends. Mme. Rakhmeteff was kissed with great enthusiasm by Mrs, Grant and several other ladies, while Gen. Grant looked on, but when the Ambassador's wife turned and saw him she dimpled with pleasure and without hesitation put her hands on his shoulders and kissed him uwioe, crying: “Fred, old dear, I'M kise you, too.” Madame had a Yorkshire terrier in her arms which she offered to de kissed by her friends, but they contented them- selves with shaking his paw, Mrs. Grant remarking laughingly that she preferred oables, to which she got the quick re- tort: “Oh, you are pros dust, because ‘aj*| you've got grandchild: ees Mir ‘Buichmeterr, wearing a single eye- glass, led the French ‘down the Sang way at about time, and ex- resaed his regret that three other dogs ad been sent ro) Do I anticipate a pleasant recep- tion?” he repeated in reply to a ques- tion. “Most agsuredly 1 do.
