Chief of the Secret Service Division.
Baron Fava's Recall Denied.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-A joint reso-
luton passed by Congress empowers tho
President to practically declare war on
the Government of Venezuela, in contra
diction to tho recommendation adopted
by the Pan-American Conference, that
all the Governments represented adopt
a uniform treaty of arbitration.
The resolution referred to empowered
the President to take such measures as
in his judgment may be necessary to
obtain prompt settlement of the Ven O.
zuelan claims.
1t is said that in case the Venezuelan
Government fails to at once pay over
the indemnity demanded, the United
States may send a war ship to Venezuela
to enforce the collection.
One Of the articles of the proposed law
provides that except in cases where the

A MARVELLOUS FASTER.

A French Widow Who Says She Has Been
without Food For Nine Years.
The little town of Bourdeilles, in
Perigord, France, is becoming famous
through a woman named Zelie Bourivu,
who pretends to have tasted for nine
years and who is now actually undergo
ing q sixty-day fast, under scientific
precautions against fraud. The woman
is the widow of farmer, Of Paussac-
Saint-Vivien, named Guillame Garron,
by whom she had four children, all now
dead. The death of her husband was
the beginning Of her fast She is a
brunette with brilliant eyes and excess
sive nervousness. She has lived since
her alleged fasting began under the care
Of DR.. Lafon, who says that he visited
her frequently, and, while unable to say
that her story was untrue, doubted 1t
very much, and endeavored frequently
to induce her to submit to systematic
course of observations that would scien-
tifically test her claim. She always
refused, and this confirmed the
doctor in his suspicion that the
woman was merely an ordinary
hysterical, and perhaps unconscious
fraud. Last month, however, she vol
UNFAIRLY offered to submit to the closest
surveillance the doctor might wish to
place upon her, and the present tests
were begun. The doctor declares that
he took every precaution against trick
cry or deceit For three weeks the
woman has remained under guard in a
place where no one is allowed to bring
solid food of any sort. She has drank
only little water in which toast had
been dissolved, which she rejected at
once, and has sucked, once day, bit
Of orange to take the bad taste from her
mouth. DR.. Laion proposes to keep her
under guard for sixty days. He does not
attempt to explain the case, but has re-
ferred it to Drs. Charcot and Ball, we'll
known specialists in nervous diseases.
The opinion Of the neighbors Of the
faster is divided concerning her. Some
believe implicitly that she is as she pre-
tends to be, under Divine inspiration,
and are expecting other miracles from
her in due time. Others believe her,
rather, to be possessed of the devil
