instituted suit at law in the district
supreme court for $4,000 damages for
breach of promise against Major George

notoriety in several ways once by tweak-

governor of Pennsylvania. and another
time by a controversy with war depart
ment officials.
The suit alleges breach of promise to
marry, practice of deception and the COM
mission of personal assault on the plain
tiff. Among other things it alleges that
he deceived her in making her believe
that the signing of an agreement recit-
ing that they hereby become man and
wife" constituted a valid marriage. She

BERLIN, August 3.-German foreign
Office officials said to the correspondent
of the Associated Press to-day:
If the allied forces advance upon
Pekin without a chief commander and
if the commanders of the different con-
tingents believe that they can man
age in this way, the matter must be
left to their discretion and the powers
must be satisfied with it. We hope
that during the ADVANCE all the troops
will agree and attempt to do the best
possible. Then success is feasible,
even under such unfavorable condi-
tons.
Germany regrets that unavoidable
complications render it impossible fo-
her to join the Pekin expedition with a
corps of commensurate size, bu. Ger
mans, without jealousy, will applaud
the successes achieved by others"
Most of the German papers discuss
the matter in similar STRAIN, regret
ting that British incompetence
again retards the advance"

FAIRMONT, w. Va, August 3.--At
d special term of the Marion County
Circuit Court today Judge John w.
Mason delivered his opinions in the
important case of the American Coal
Company against A. n. Prichard and
others, and the Bank of Warrington
against the County Court of Marion
county. The American Coal Company
had obtained an option for three
months on 4,S00 acres of coal land
belonging to the defendants, near Man
nNgton. After the time had expired
the company brought suit for specific
enforcement of the option, claiming
an extension of the option. The de-
PENDANTS denied this and demurred the
bill. The court sustained their con-
tention and dismissed the bill on the
ground that there was not a valid con-
tract Of extension. Prichard was to
have received $50 an acre for his land.

The bank of Warrington had a paid
up capital of s25, 900, $4,000 of which
was invested in bank building, but
was assessed for taxation on the orig
inal capital and the real estate be-
sides. The bank instituted proceedings
to have the excess of taxes claimed
to have been paid on this basis re-
funded and those due abated. The
court decided in its favor.

NEW YORK, August S.-The Herald
tomorrow will publish the following:
In the possession of the police and
of the Italian authorities is evidence
which the investigators regard as in
disputable proof of the formation here
and in Paterson, N. j., of a gigantic
plot against the lives of the crowned
heads Of the world.
Various shreds and patches of proof
were gathered yesterday which indi-
Gates that the original fabric woven
by the master weaver was intricate and
subtle. The anarchists suspected of
having gone to STAY the King of Italy,
his queen and Others went by various
routes, as the books of the various
steamship companies Show
The Italian government, through its
consul general, yesterday obtained
. possession of the books of the French
line. 1t is said that the documents re-
veal the exact time that Quentayalli
sailed from this country. Bresci, it
was supposed, obtained passage on a
White Star liner. A note received yes
terday from Chevalier Louis V. Flu
gay, of this city, says that he did
lot sell the ticket to Bresci, as an ex-
animation CT his books will show. The
woman, La Belle Teresa, believed to
have tcen the accomplice Of Bresci
sailed last May with him. The Italian
secret agents are said to have found
cut the exact day on which these two
left these shores.
Malatcsta, the alleged arch-plotter,
is quoted from London as saying that
he let this country six weegs ago on
an American liner.
Those who went forth to kill were
formed in companies, so that one
might follow up the other in case any
assassin failed to do his work or
fiached

Those who went later to the scene
Of the crime were believed to be An
tonio Lana, the baker and Sassi, the
student. 1t was learned yesterday
that Matteo Sassi sailed for Naples on
July Z from Hoboken, on the North
German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Will
helm II. His ticket was purchased
from Cesare Contin, a we'll known
agent. Sassi, it described in the books,
Of the company, as being 25 years old.
On The same steamer was Antonio
Lama who may have been Antonio
Lana, the baker arrested on the other
side as the accomplice of the assassin
ana known here as an anarchist of the
most ardent type. His friends say that
BE sailed from this port about May Is.
Fe disappeared from his familiar
haunts about that time at least. On
the same steamer was Raffaelo Lama.
The woman arrested in Italy as
Rresci's accomplice is tall and has
brown hair. La Belle Teresa was
both tall and fair-haired. This is I'M
usual for an Italian woman. She is
