to Bloomingdale. Senator Hill, after a
long interview, decided that it would
be better not to interfere in the mat
ter. Mr. Chandler is not violent lu-
natic, but, it is alleged. is subject TO
hallucinations. In the statements
which formed the basis for his COIN
mitment, his hallucinations included
the belief that he had succeeded by
will power in changing the shape OF
his face and the color of his eyes, be-
lieved himself to be the reincarnation
of Napoleon, and that he would make
a great fortune by a system of play at
the Monte Carlo gambling tables. The
affidavit upon which he was committed
averred that he was a victim of the
hallucinations suggested above, and,
Furthermore, that there was insanity
in his family-his aunt having at one
time become insane.
Mr. Chandler's main grievance and
his greatest objection to his commit
ment follows: He declared that he IS
a resident of Virginia, not of New
York, and that his commitment IS NE
gal in that way. He further alleges
that he was lured to- New York from
Virginia-.k kidnapped is the term he
uses-although he admits that it was
done bv we'll meaning. but misiIl-
formed friends. Mr.. Chandler's rela-
tives and friends entertain bellef
that he will soon be removed from

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The inter-
national court of arbitration which is
to pass on the British Venezuela
boundary has been completed by the
selection of M. Maertens, a distin-
guished Russian jurist as umpire, and
arrangements are being made for the
assembling of the court at Paris dur
ing the late summer or fall of next
year. In the meantime the briefs of
Great Britain and of Venezuela are
being prepared, but none of the papers
have yet been submitted. NJ. Maertens
will act not only as umpire, but also
as president of the court, The an
nouncement that a European umpire
had been chosen was made in these dis
patches some time since, but the name
had been withheld until the sanction
of the czar could be secured for M.
Maertens' service as arbitrator Great
Britain and Venezuela each submitted
a list of distinguished iurists who
would be acceptable as umpire. These
embraced the most noted men of
Europe, and it is a tribute to M. Maer-
tens that his was the only one on the
lists of both countries.
M Maertens' reputation as an au-
thority on international law is world
wide and has led to his frequent Sc
lection as arbitrator and umpire in in

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-John Arm
strong Chanler, the divorced husband
of Amelie Rives, and a great grandson
of John Jacob Astor, is reported to be
insane in the Bloomingdale asylum. Mr..
Chanler left the city suddenly last
spring, and it was said by his friends
that he had gone to Europe. The fact
has leaked out that he is in Blooming
dale under treatment. 1t is denied by
his friends that Mr.. Chanler is insane
or that his mind is affected in the least.
He was taken to Bloomingdale, these
friends assert, to gain a much needed
rest and treatment for nervous disor-
ders. The affection of his nerves and
general physical breakdown was DUE
they say, to overwork.
Harry Van Ness Phillips his law
partner and closest friend, said OF ms
illness today: 1.-The report of Mr. Chan

ford, who has just returned from taxi
ing part in an expedition to Somaliland,
brings news of the annihilation, at the
end of June of an Abyssinian army of
5000 men under the control of the
famous general Ras Mackonnen, of
which number only sixty men escaped.
Mr.. Stanford, to a representative of
the Associated Press today said:
while in the interior we came across
a powerful Somaliland chief who had
just returned from the fight. He told
me that the Abyssinian force had been
raiding down the Webbe Shebyle river
nearly as far as the forty-fifth par
allel. The Somalilias then overwhelmed
them with large numbers, allowing
sixty men to go back with the news of
the defeat Ras Mackonnen was killed
during the battle
"The affair occurred about a hundred
miles from where we were. The whole
neighborhood is still greatly excited
and the possession of so many Italian,
rifles by the Somalilias is evidence that
the story told by the Abyssinians is
true The latest news from Harrar
was that an Abyssinian army was be-
ing despatched against the Somalilias
who are eagerly anticipating another
fight"

but it has not until now seemed 10 me
best, in view of my position here, that
l should take any public action. Now,
however, when the Repubii can party
is menaced by some of those who have
heretofore stood in the front rarks, it
seems proper that every voter who is
loyal to the principles of his party
should let it be known in no uncertain
way where he stands. The contest of

and safety of our government, a con-
spiracy which is again seeking success
right in the city of New York;, with
thousands of others, who lIave been

of West Virginia against Myrah Atllin-
son, wife of Gov Atkinson, the defend
ant refused to talk, but Gov. Atkinson
gave a statement for the press, in which
he said: The prosecution was actuated
by malice. / am of the opinion that
several of the witnesses, indeed, all the
real testimony upon which the case
hinged had been induced to testify for
a consideration. I am thoroughly con-
vinced that two or more of them were
purchased. All fair-minded people could
see clearly that Camden Sommers,
grandson of the late G. D. Camden, was
at the bottom of and instigator Of this
procedure. Soon after Judge Camden
married my present wife, Mr.. Sommers
and others started out on a career of
persecution by anonymous letters and
newspaper stories. Indeed, prior to
Mrs. Atkinson's marriage to Camden
she was annoyed with anonymous let
ters warning her not to marry Camden.
Furthermore, when the will of Judge
Camden was about to be probated she
received various letters threatening
newspaper publication unless a large
sum of money was paid, in which case
it was promised nothing would be said
or published relative to her.
'fPrior to her maria ge to me similar
anonymous letter was sent her, threat
ening newspaper notoriety The man
who inspired all these publications is
we'll known to be Camden Sommers,
the aforesaid grandson of Judge Cam
den, upon whose testimony the indict-
ment against Mrs. Atkinson was solely
founded, and who appeared as the
principal prosecuting witness in this
case. In my unbiased judgment Mrs.
Atkinson is guilty of no crime what
ever, most certainly not the crime Of
aiding and abetting in uttering the
forged papers charged against her in
the Indictment. Evidence in this trial
showed that Camden Sommers pro-
posed to the attorneys of Joshua Owens
that if he would testify against Mrs,
Atkinson nothing would be done with
Owens and that he would not have to
pay for his land which they claimed
had not been paid for All I have to

The Evening World today publishes
an article signed by Arthur Brisbln,
which says, in part: Mr.. Chandler
was confined against his will on an
order issued in the regular way by
the court. Mr. Chambers family, in
committing him, acted upon the advice
of physicians, and especially upon the
advice of the doctor who had been for
many wears Mr. Chambers regular
physician. They acted further upon
the advice of DR.. Starr, a specialist in
mental disorders, who signed the ap
plication for Mr. Chambers commit
ment. He was committed not because
of any overt act demonstrating inSan-
ity. but because of the fear of his rel
atives that his mental condition might
result at any moment in some violent
outbreak He was committed to
Bloomingdale rather than to a more
quiet private resort because of the fear
that a man of his determined charac-
ter could be kept in confinement only
by the most rigorous and systematic
supervision.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 13.-This
was the record smasher in the number
of deaths in a single day from yellow
fever since the sickness was first re
ported in New Orleans. 1t is difficult
to find the cause except in the fact
that cOncealment, neglect and rebel
lion against the authority of the board
of health have made it difficult for the
physicians to give proper attention 10
cases. At o'clock tonight there had
been nine fatalities reported during the
past twenty-four hours. Heretofore,
the highest number of deaths in any
cne day has been six. At the meeting
of the board of health tonight there
was some discussion among the ply
sicians as to whether the disease had
assumed suddenly a more virulent form
or whether circumstances had sent up
the list Of deaths. Prominent doctors
say they do not believe the disease has
become more malignant in type They
believe that the fact that on some
days there has been four or five deaths,
on succeeding days no deaths, and
then four or five deaths again, goes to
prove that the fever has been as &C.
centric before as it is now. Among
the deaths reported, some are of the
better class of people. Edward c. Ray,
aged sixteen, lived with his mother,
who kept fashionable boarding house
on Peytania street. Another death was
that of Antonio Corvajo the agent of
a steamship line running between this
port and Palermo He was a native of
Italy, and since the fever appeared
had been active among his country
men. Two deaths occurred today in
the Touro infirmary, and one in the
isolation hospital.
Among the new cases, the most prom
inent is that Of Hunter S. Leake, gen.
eral agent of the Illinois Central rail-
road. Mrs. Leake was stricken two
days ago, and her husband must have
taken the disease from close attend
ance upon her. DR.. Spruell is also
among the cases reported Three cases
in the list today developed at the char
ity hospital, one coming from Algiers,
and the other two from the lower sec
tion of the city.
IOdayS deaths We're: Salvador For
tan, Antonio Corvajo, Edward C. Ray,
Giovanni, Circia, Isadore Scheurer,
Charles Sauers, A. Labuzzea, Henry
W. Wells, Joseph Saitta. A very large
number of recoveries are reported to
the board of health today and some of
them were people who had been i'll but
a few days.
The board of health tonight received
a letter from Health officer Johnson,
of PIaquemine parish, saying that u.
T. Tabony had died Of yellow fever. 1t
had been unable to trace the origin of
the disease. There is much interest
taken in the development of a case In
the parish. from the fact that within
