NECESSARY FORE1ALITIES NOW
BEING ARRANGED.
The Prisoners Mind i'm Such Condi-
tion That the Physicians Have
Ordered SeciuSion.

LONDON, Nov. 9-The solicitors act
ing ON behalf Of Mrs. Castle say they
have reason TO hope that an order for
her release will soon be issued by the
Home Office.
Although Sir Matthew White Ridley
Secretary of State for Home Affairs, is
cut of town, Mr.. Abrahams. solicitor for
The defense in the case of Mrs. Castle,
has received a promise at the Home
Office that that Department win give
favorable consideration to the petition
for the release of the unfortunate wo-
man.
Mr.. Mcconnell, Chairman of the
Cierkenwell sessions, who sentenced
Mrs Castle, has been directed TO draft
an opinion upon the case, and the chief
physician Of Wormwood Scrubbs Pris-
on. in which Mrs. Castle is confined, will
make a, report to the Home Office upon
the physical and mental condition Of
Mrs Castle in accordance with instruc-
tons
These formalities having been OBJ
served the Home Secretary will advise
the Queen that pardon should be grant
ed. This procedure is absolutely neces-
sary before the royal pardon, setting
Mrs. Castle at liberty, can be issued.
Mr. Castle said this afternoon that
ne did not attempt to see his wife to-
day. He had a, long interview with her
in the hospital OF Wormwood Scrubbs
Prison yesterday and found her in a
highly hysterical condition, and in a
much worse state than when she en-
tered the prison.
Mr.. Castle said that the officials Of
the Home Office had been exceedingly
courteous TO him. but informed him
that the physicians connected with the
prison hospital advised that Mrs. Castle
be kept perfectly quiet. and it was up
en- the strength of this advice that he
had decided not to see her to-day.
EmbaSsador Bayard said tonight: I
received a long letter from Mr.. Castle
on Saturday which I inclosed to Sir
Matthew White Ridley, the Home Sec
rotary, who is kind, considerate and
sure TO do what is right. The officials
have shown consideration in the en-
tire case. I have been preeluded from
doing anything officially with the Home
Office in the matter. because my Off

NEW YORK, Nov. "a special cable
dispatch to the sun from London
says: The Home Secretary signed last

Castle from Wormwood Scrubs Jail
She viii be discharged to-day unless
she is unable to leave the infirmary
where she is still PROSTATE. Her .hus-
band will go with her to America as
soon as she is able to travel.
The pressure that has been brought to
bear upon the Government to secure
Mrs. Castles release has been of as
tonishing weight and influence. Both
the Home and Foreign Offices have re-
ceived many messages from this coun-
try and the United States beseeching
immediate action. Popular sympathy
in England is entirely in her favor
and there will be no criticisms when her
release is announced this afternoon.

The threatened crop damage in Ar
gentine, doleful rumors of unsatisfac-
tory fall seeding in Russia and France
and the large seaboard clearances We're
the chief factors which contributed to
the success of the bulls. Corn, oats and
