DURANT CoNFEssEs ALL.
Says He Invented Story Because of
Quarrel With His Sweetheart.

London, March mr.. Durant and
his mother were found last evening at
the Euston hotel. When Intercepted
on the subject of the report of his
death in a duel at Ostend. he was
greatly taken back and exhibited eX-
treme agitation at the revelation of
his scheme. Finally, resolving upon a
frank statement, he explained that he
had had a csrious quarrel with Mile.
Mangin, his betrothed, and had deter
mined to break off relations with her.
He said he considered the best exit
from the difficulty would be to die, at
least officially. and that his trouble
with the Russian, which was real, Of
fered the easiest solution of his entan-
clement. Therefore. he took advantage
of this method of announcing his
death
He admitted that he enlisted the
services of a trusted friend in Paris
to secure the insertion of the death
notice. and he expressed the greatest
chagrin and surprise that the story
had leaked out When pressed regard
ing the alleged duel, he declined to
discuss the matter, saying:
I received the kindest treatment at
the hands of the Russian and l don
wish to cause pain. l had hoped the
Olan would succeed, intending to re-
main officially dead for three or four
months thus giving my betrothed a
plausible explanation for the separa-
ton"

Effect of Community Plan.

New York. March 6.-The Mail and
Express today says:
Some large western shippers Of
freight complain that il is now useless
to make the rounds of the various rail-
road offices looking for concessions on
shipments from Chicago to the Pa
cific coast points, for example.
This is pointed to as one of the i'm
mediate results of the bankers agree
ment for the division of all the rail-
roads of the United States into groups
or community of ownership. 1t means
that the advisory board of half a doz-
en- men now hold the reins and when
ever rates need adjusting, orders ema-
nate from this body OF bankers who
appointed the committee.
Some railroad authorities think the

adjustment of rate-cutting and be-

Followed Lifted Lover to Death.

A pathetic little story comes from the
Swiss village of Engelden. A rich farmer
died a bachelor, aged 90. The day after
the funeral the body of an aged woman
named Sach, we'll known for her charlt-
able works. was found in the river near
by AT first it was thought that death
was the result of accident, but on eX-
aiming her house a letter was found
which stated that Nine. Sach had com
rnitted suicide in order to be buried beside
her old lover, the farmer. and requested
that her wish should be carried out II
appears that she had once Tilted the
farmer. but repented of 1t afterward, and
had taken a house opposite his in the
hone that her lover would return to her.
Nine Sach had waited patiently for
thirty years, watching the farmers move
ments every day, but he never spoke TO
her again, and on learning of his death
she committed suicide.

QUEEN GETS THE WHALES
She Has Legal Right to Every One
That Is Caught In Britain.


Among the many strange and ancient
prerogatives with which Queen Alexandra
has become invested as cOnsort of the
reigning sovereign is the right to the
greater portion of any whale that may be
caught or stranded along the British
coast.
The whale is legally regarded as
royal fish and as such the property
of the crown, while an ancient statute,
never yet repealed, provides that the
monster shall be divided between the
monarch and his consort. the head only
being assigned to the king. while the re-
mainder of the carcass goes to the queen
The reason for this strange division was
TO furnish the queens wardrobe with the
whalebone necessary for her stays, a tact
which is explicitly set forth in the
statute.
Queen Alexandra, moreover. has been
placed, by the accession of her husband,
upon a footing entirely different nom
that of married women in general She
may purchase and convey land and per-
form other acts of ownership without the
concurrence of her husband, and is rom
legal standpoint single rather than a
married woman.
She will be crowned not by, the viii
of the people. nor by any legal right of
her own, but by the command of her
husband. 1t is the kings will alone which
determines the matter, and IL was be-
cause of this prerOgative of the sovereign
that King Edwards granduncle, George
", was enabled to prevent his cOnsort
from being crowned, or from even cross
while his coronation was in progress.
