pleaded guilty, by the advice Of coun-
sci, to the charge of shoplifting, has
been released from prison on medical
grounds, by order of the home secre-

OF Mrs. Castles health, communicated
with the home secretary, who promptly
ordered her release from prison, and
that she be placed i'll the care of her

A few moments later Mrs Castle,
dressed in deep black. was almost car

appeared to be on the verge of collapse
and sank fainting into her husband 3

tried to console her.
The nurse enveloped Mrs. Castles
face in a heavy veil, wrapped her no in
a shawl, and assisted her TO the carriage,
where her head fell on her husband s

NO DANGER Or A WAR
Venezuelan Dispute Will Be
Settled by Arbitration.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT GIVEN OUT

The boundary Commission Does Not Pro-
peso to Formulate Il Decision For the
Present. In the Hope That the Inter
csted Nations will Soon Adjust All
Tending Differences.
WAsnuNGroN, Nov. 1.-The meeting
of the Venezuelan commission was one
of more than ordinary interest, on &C
count Of the significant statement Of
Lord Sa!isbury's speech Monday even
ing announcing that the boundary dis
pute was practically ended. All the
members Of tho commission were pres
ent, but Jus ice Brewer did not remain
until the close Of the meeting, as he had
TO take his place in the supreme court
to attend the Berliner patent case argu
ment During the early part Of the
meeting the address Of Lord Salisbury
was generally discussed and the papers
containing the speech and comments
upon it were read.
The Venezuelan commission has au-
thorized the following official state.
ment:
The statements Of Lord Salisbury in
his speech at London make it probable
that the boundary dispute now pending
between Great Britain and Venezuela
will be settled by arbitration at an early
day Under these circumstances. the
commission, while continuing its de
liberations i'll the preparation and
the orderly arrangements of many
valuable maps, reports and documents,
which have been procured i'll the course
of its labors, does not propose to formu-
late any decision for the present of the
matters subject to its examination. II
will continue its sessions from time to
time, but with the hope and expectation
that friendly and just settlement of
all pending differences between the ma
tious interested will make any final de-
cision on its part unnecessary.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-In the course of a
speech at Enfield, Sir Charles Dixie, the
well known authority ON international
politics. said that England had recently
rejected a proposal by the three great
powers to partition China. He also
said that the alleged recent inspection
of the forts of the Dardanelles by a
Russian general was by order of the
Russian government and that therefore
it was probable that Russia would re-
gard British attack on the Dardanelles
as a casus belli.
