CASTELLANES TROUBLES.
Attorney Untermyer Calls Him Near
 Scamp.

SSuAlp
 New York, Jan 1.-The suit brought by Anton J. Dittmar, a New York lawyer, as assignee of Asher Werth- mer, q London bric-a-brac dealer, to enJo1n the heirs as trustees of the es- tate of the late Jay Gould from paying over to their sister Anna, Countess de Castellane, any portion of the income in the supreme court to-day, on an ap- plication to continue, pending the trial of the action, . temporary injunction issued by Justice Fitzgerald prevent ing the Goulds from sending any mon- ey to their sister.
 By an agreement between counsel representing Dittmar, and the attor- neyl for the GouldS and the Count and Countess de Castellane, the Goulds have been permitted to send over to the countess S19,SOO q month for the last two months.
 MT Untermeyer presented an atfi- davit to-day from Werthmer giving q detailed account of all the articles sold by him to the Castellanes and alleg- ing that they were worth all that was charged for them. Colonel James op- posed the motion and decision was re- served.
 Colonel James, for the Gould trustees said Mir Cntermyer had attached tC l his affidavits an amended complaint 1 and he would ask for time to consider whether he should not oppose it. The only difference between the | amended complaint and the original, J retorted MT Untermyer. "in that, hay | ing since we brought our action learned that the Countess de Castel l lanes debts amount to over S4, ,OU0, GOO ] we ask that her allowance be cut down to Sl00,OOO year instead of the $25O,. GOO which we were satisfied she should l receive. If this is done the creditors can see little daylight as to whether | they will ever get anythinig.'
 Tn this transaction Count Castel lane shows himself as mean and thor | ough-goins scamp as can well be 1 conceived.
 He does not see fit to give us back our furniture, which We have express ed our willingness to take, but sells 1 it. He then has the audacity to say collections to which they were alleged to belong when he purchased then 1 from MT Wertheimer." l MT James said:
 "One Asher Wertheimer is a dealer in bric-a-brac in London. As has been stated Miss Anna Gould mar ried Count Castellane and with hin went to faris to live and become l: citizen of that country. MT Werthei nler became acquainted with tn Goulds shortly after their arrival ant during the year 1895 and 1896 ant afterwards sold them paintings an' furniture

EMPRESS OBJECTS AGAIN.

Will Punish Only Those Officers
 Named in the Preliminary Note.
 Berlin, Jan 11.-While the Empress Dowager has not sent word in reply to the telegram of Lii Hung Chang and Prince Ching, which insisted that China must accept the terms in the preliminary demand of the ministers, a message came from, her to-day which indicates that there will be fur ther complications in the situation. In this telegram the Empress Dowager said she would infiict the severest punishment on those officers whose punishment was demanded in the pre- liminary note of the ministers, but on no others, and that that must end the matter.
 The ministers, she said, could not | continue sending in the names of other | officers and demanding their punish
 ment She would insist on the pun ishment clause in the note and the 1 names mentioned in the edict of Sep 1 te.-ber 25.
 Under the provisions of the punsh- ] ment clause the ministers have been I compiling lists of officers whose pun l ishment is to be demanded. These
 lists will probably contain the names 1 Of one hundred persons. The ministers
 say they will insist on the punishment | of every one whose name is on these | lists. so that to those whose names are
 in the punishment clause may be
 added many others. These are the
 ones to whose punishment the En-
 press Dowager objects and this is
 likely to cause more trouble than any thing that has occurred so far. The Germans say that they will ask that Prince Chun, a brother of the
 emperor be appointed to visit Ger
 many and make atonement to Elm
 peror William for the murder of the
 German minister. Baron von Ketteler
 in compliance with Article I of the preliminary note. China will probably
 agree to this. Prince Su, who gave up his house in Pekin to the foreigners
 during the siege, is anxious to go, ant
 is seeking the appointment.

INSURANCE DEPARTMENT,
Increase of Business and Use of De
 Dartment Blanks,

Dartment Blanks.
 The impetus given the life insur- ance business in the state the past year, has resulted in a large increase of work at the insurance department at the Capitol in Hartford. It was said by an official of the department yesterday that the business had practi- cally doubled. Two additional clerks have been put on. John D. Butler of Hartford and D. N. Williams of Meri- den, the latter of whom began his duties yesterday. Room No S3 on the fifth floor of the building has been as signed by the superintendent for the use of the insurance department G,,r- ing the winter. and will be occupied by Actuary Charles A. Hawley and Clerk Frederick W. SkifT for work in connection with the actuarial division The changes made by Insurance Con- missioner Scofield in the annual state ment blank have caused a deal of in- creased work. These changes are the requiring of all companies to make their returns on cash-paid-for basis, l and the reporting of deferred declared l dividends as q HabiIIty. They are considered by , large majority of in- l surance men as fully in accord witt, the sound reporting of q company's s affairs. The decision of the Connecti- cut department to retain the gain and loss exhibit in spite of the decision of l the insurance commissioners at the recent annual convention in Hartford has been regarded in some quarters 1 as an unpopular requirement.. There are many technical questions involved and the blank calls for information concerning the transactions of ir1sur ance companies which are not ascer tainable in any other way.

BUFFALO HERD IN IOWA.


Hundreds of people VAL today visit
Burgess & Hanson's herd of Buffalo at

rate to see the representatives of the
American bison. They are the wonder
of "a wonderful composition Of diverse
animals"
The first lot brought in by Burgess &
Hanson, numbered five very good speei-
mems, from the Montana ranges. The
last lot numbered eight. including an
original mountain bull. which IS the
wonder of the herd. In the herd of
thirteen are calves. COWS and bulls, so
that one has the opportunity of IN
speeding the family In its several stages.
."Old Tenn the name given the head of
the herd of Buffalo, is vicious Old
hero; he looks as il he would like to
punch you one for luck. He is hand
led with care, kept confined at Hanson's
stables, and when taken out all precau-
tions are necessary TO prevent his cut
ting up and TO guard against accidents.
The other twelve are more Goclle. tho
they have freaks and spells. which adj
monshes the visitor that II they We're
once free to roam they might make 1t
interesting But they are ineaptivity,
and unable to do mischief. however,
much appearances indicate the vicious

1t was for this reason that the law was
