HAVE TAKEN A RECESS.
Senator Allison Speaks in Behalf of the
american Delegation.

american Delegation.
Brussels, December 19.-After N. Drer-
dies motion had been proposed at the mon
etary conference yesterday, Senator Ali
son made IL short speech in behalf of the
United States delegation He laid empha-
sis upon the fact thar throughout the de-
bate, nobody had suggested that either
money of the metal system be discarded
Bertram Curry, Of the British delega tion
objected to the reassembling of the confer
ence on the ground that as previous mon
etary conferences had failed, there was lit
tie prospect of the present one being n sue
cess Sir c. Rivers Wilson, of the British
delegation, concurrcd in this opinion. Sir
w. Houldsworth, also of the British del
egation said he did not agree with Wilson
He thought that the conference ought to
discuss ali the plans that had already been
submitted. General Richard Strachey, of
the Indian delegation, formerly announced
that during Il recent session of the confer
ence, the indian government would reserve
absolute freedom of tie action. Senator
Allison, said it was understood that the
governments Of all nations concerned should
reserve to themselves absolute independence
in their respective monetary policies during
the recess of the conference. Drendies's
proposal was then adopted and the confer
encp adjourned.

They say that for the last twelve years,
or even since the inception Of the canal
enterprise, De Lesseps has been so har-
raised and betrayed by his young wife
that he has been hardly accountable for
his words or his actions. She
was sixteen years old when
De Lesseps married her, and he
had passed sixty. For the first seven Or
eight years their life was happily spent.
Then she began career Of reckless TN
faithfulness under her husbands own
roof. AT her instance. he entertained
lavishly at the castle la Chenac.

horse similarly afflicted, with sprains ana
knots on leg and neck. Some twenty years
experience in ''doctoring' my own horses
convinced me that there nothing better
ard more convenient in application in bruises
sores and sweilinGs in horsefesh than, first
Johnson's Anodyne Liniment, or second, the
Mexican Mustang Eminent. Follow the dl
rections accompanying these; and if your
horse is durable, the chances are that the
animal will soon be all right. There are
doubtless other good linnentS or embroca
tions for injured horsehesh, but those named
embody some of the very best curative agents
known to physicians. But one thing must be
remembered A diseased horse cannot be
cured IL kept at regular work. Natures best
curative agent-her best remedy in simple III
jures--is usually found only in absolute rest
and good food.

Madame de Lesseps has been espe-
cially anxious to shine as an entertainer
and has spent, as she still spends, the
Old mans money with lavish hands. She
is, therefore, hated cordially by the poor
people in France, who have lost heavily
by an investment in the Panama canal
enterprise. At the same time she gets
little sympathy in Paris from friends Of
the de Lesseps family, who have spread
industriously in the last few days some
astonishing statements as to her int1u-
ence in breaking down the aged en-
gineer's mental and physical strength.

Trouble.
London, December 24.-The appeals OF
Madame Ferdinand de Lesseps to popular
sympathy in the last week have proved
a failure. Her description Of the castle La
Chenaye as bare barn, insufiiclently
heated and furnished, is contradicted by
hundreds Of Parisians who have visited
de Lessepss family seat in the last two
years The fact is, as everybody in Paris
in high life knows, the president OF
the Panama Canal Company has sur
rounded himself with all the luxury that
his social station require and has prided
himself especially upon the richness OF
comfort which he has been able to af-
ford all visitors at his present residence

Under the pretext Of exceptional hospi-
tality she made excursions with guests
which always resulted in small scandals
within the household. Once, a friend of
Charles de Lesseps says, she ran away
with French senator to Nice and did not
return until Charles de Lesseps, who hast
ened after the couple, had driven away
her companion at the point Of q revolver,
and had there given her the choice be-
tween q divorce and immediate departure
for home.
Charles OeLesseps it is said, has already
fought duels with men who had cast doubts
upon his relationship to the youngest of
the three children of his step-mother. In
fact in recent years everybody in Paris So
ciety has understood that it was a peril
Gus matter to mention Madam Ferdinand
DeLesseps in her step-son's presence.
That her husband was tOrnented day and
night by her conduct was generally known,
and it was equally apparent that he failed
mentally and ply scally and under his do
nestle burden several times he was driven
almost to the point Of suing for divorce,
but every time desisted in the interest of
the canal company, which he believed
would suher from the stigma placed by
scandal upon his name.

There is no doubt that the Panama reve-
lations have estranged Russia from France
and have facilitated negotiations between
Germany and Russia for a new tariff con-
yention The prospect of revival Of the
historic Russo-German friendship is be-
Eeyed by German Optimists to be assured,
in case the revelations in France be prop
erIv exploited General Won Worder, the
new German ambassador in st. Petersburg.
An incessant correspondence by telegraph
has been in progress between the Berlin
foreign Office and the st. Petersburg en-
bassy during the last few days, and it is
believed in Berlin that the biting criticism
passed by the Russian press on the Pana-
ma revelations are the ultimate resi8ts
of information thus indirectly conveyed
to the ear.
