THREE NoBLEMEN IN ONE WEEK.


LONDON, Jan. IL. [Special.l - Three
noblemen died this week The Duke of
Bedford was the richest man in the peer
age except the Duke of Westminster A
dozen years ago he replied TO the queen of
Holland, who bluntly asked him
what his annual income was, that
he confessed to s3,oo0oO0. His property
has greatly increased since that date His
income was chiefly derived from the Bed
ford estates in West Central London, the
plum OF the whole being the Covent Gar
den market. Under the old charter the
Duke of Bedford levied tolls on every
cart approaching within a quarter of a
mile OF the market. Although he got
$4,000 pounds annually from this source
il was only by the constant gibbeting of
Punch that he would improve what that
comic journal always called the mud salad
market. Lord Tavistock, the dukes son,
who succeeds him, is not man OF MANY
parts.
The Dake Of Somerset, who died this
week, was an old bachelor. Many years
ago be was in the army. He was unknown
70 the present generation, and was hardly
ever seen except when toddling
10 his club FOR game of
whist. The Earl of St. Maur, who sue
ceeds him, was once amateur whip driving
on London and Oxford private coach.
OF late years he has kept horse bazaar at
plymouth, letting out teams TO officers of
the garrison and lnstructing them how TO
drive
The Earl Of Devon. whose death was
announced today. has LETT no reputation
except that Of having ruined his father,
who was one Of the most worthy and hon
oEable men n the British peerage.

PARIS CABLE LETTER.
The Loan to the Earrings Approved
Restrictions on American Pork.

PARIS, Jan. lin the deputies today
NJ. Laur in an Interpolation complained
of the loan of gold to England. He as
serted that it had simply been transferred
TO Germany The Rothschilds should
not be allowed to rule, and the
Bank of France should retain a sufficient
amount of gold for the requirements of
war and commerce. Ruvier in reply said
that even after the loan to the Earrings the
gold held by the Bank of France amounted
TO 1924 800 000, as against $37s, 4o0, 600 in
1885, Had not the bank loaned $50, 900 900,
the Bank of England would have been
compelled to raise the rate ofexchange, and
French commerce would have suffered a
counter blow from the Barring crisis. The
operation, Rouvier declared, was perfectly
legal and profitable, and afforded proof of
the financial strength of France. He

yier's explanation was inadequate, but the

Monchicourt, Gquidator of the Panama
Canal Company, in an interview In regard
TO the proposal that the United States gov
eminent guarantee the interest on the

that the Panama canal would be finished
before the Nicaragua canal was COM
pleted. He added: Il once hoped the
United States government would assist
in the work of completing the Panama
canal, but am sorry To say without effect.
There is no possible doubt that the gov
ernments of the United States and France
ought to promptly assume charge of the
Panama canal and make the nee
essary arrangements to complete work.
am certain that if the French government
felt that it would not suffer humiliating
rebuff from the American government,
the former government would be only too

Panama canal could be completed"

Mr.. Howard was not in position to saw
whether the new management in New
York would make any change in the CON-
pany's employees Any radical work in
this direction would involve no less than
1000 men, the actual number employed by
the company in California, Oregon and
Washington.

the present no changes will be made: that the

WASHINGTON Cry, Jan. 1.-THE Joint
committee of congress on immigration, Of
which Senator Squire is chairman. and
which inquired into the Chinese question
on the Paeinc coast last fall and early this
winter, is preparing its report, which will
contain about 100 pages of typewriter
testimony. There is no doubt that Mr..
Lehloach believes in strict exclusion of the
yellow race from the United States. and a
report recommending rigid laws viii no
doubt be presented. Mr.. Morrow will call
up the House exclusion bill as soon as the
present entanglements sre cleared.
Mr. Lehlbaek saws that the sentiment of
the committee will be with that of the
Coast on the exclusion question. Their
ideas, 50 far as they have been expressed
are directly in support OF the measure now
IN the hands of the committee, the pro-
visions of which are more strict than the
existing laws.
