ANARCHISTS MAY
Be EXTRAD|TED
Pan-American Congress
Proposes Terms Of a
New Treaty.
Contracting Parties Are to
Enact All Necessary
Legislation.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 23.-At this morn
ing's session Of the Pan-American Con-
ference Volney W. Foster, United States
delegate, proposed that Chicago be added
to the list cf cities having a claim to
branch of the proposed Pan-American
Bank. His motion was accepted by twelve
votes. Bolivia and Ecuador voted In the
negative and Chile abstained from voting,
but Walker Martinez, one of the Chilean
delegates, explained that this was because
his country's delegates had abstained
from voting on the main project, and not
from any lack of good will toward Chi
cago-
The project of a treaty for protection
against anarchy was read
With slight notifications articles 10 and
II of Senator Davis Pan-American rail-
way project were approved. These COM
pleted the entire railway report, which is
therefore the second subject definitely dis
posed of by the conference, the hrst hav-
ing been the Pan-American Bank.
The committee on eXtrad1tion and sup
to-day 1t recommends that the American
republics sign general treaty of extrad1-
ton. The proposed terms OF such treaty
are given, and they ditter little from the
terms Cf tho eXtradlGon treaty now in
for ce between the United States and Mex
leo. The committee says that it expe-
rienced difficulty in including. any special
provision against anarcy and anarchists,
owing on the one hand to the necessity Of
respecting the liberty of belief, and on the
other to the fact that the crimes Of an
archists, such as the murder of President
Mckinley, come under the ordinary clas-
sifications of penal codes, and are suf-
ficient to justify the eXtradition without
the need of special provisions. Neverthe-
less, the committee says, it considers the
time ripe for some united action against
anarchy on the part of the nations of
America, and that 1t believes the best way
is to make the active expression and
propagation of anarchistic ideas an eX
traditabIe offense. A provision to this eff
feet is included in the proposed treaty, as
follows:
Article 13-The contracting parties agree to
provide in their respective legislation for the
punishment of the propagation Of anarchy
The extradition of any individual who may
have propagated anarchy may be in demand
from the date which said propagation be-
comes punishable by the nation making the
request In such cases 1t shall be granted, al
though the individual whose extradition is de-
manded may be liable to penalty of i'm
prisonment of not less than two months.

ROOSEVELT UPBRAIDS
GENERAL MILES IN PUBLIC
Most Remarkable Scene at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion Said to Have
Had Many Witnesses.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23-A Washington
special to the Press says: To those who
were witnesses Of a remarkable scene in
the executive mansion Saturday and to
a few who have been taken into the con-
hdence Of those who beheld it, the official
reprimand Of General Miles by the Sec
reIary of War is dWarfed by the unofficial
reproof and reproach which he received
Saturday afternoon from President
Roosevelt in the presence of a score of
the most representative and influential
public men and private citizens in the
arrival Of Miles, the door from the execu-
tive's private room opened and the Presi-
dent hurriedly came in. Glancing hastily
around him and catching sight Of Miles,
the President walked up to him rapidly
with evidences Of excitement in his whole
demeanOr. Placing himself squarely be-
fore the aged and white haired lieutenant
general Of the army he waved his arms
energetically and then raised his finger
warningly under the nose of Miles.
Il will have you know" said the Presi-
dent in a loud voice, 81 will not allow
you to criticize executive and department
al acts. ] don't care who you are, will
not stand It, and you will find out that
1 am going to stop this sort OF thing.
The distinguished witnesses of this Wig
orous reprimand before other persons
were further astoUnded by what followed.
The President had grown flushed, and
was Visibly restraining himself from
violent OutburSt of wrath only by an eX-
again. Uplifting his arm, he shook it
almost furiously in the generals face.
"Pn show you he said, and turned his
back upon him.
The Press further says that Miles and
Dewey are both in disgrace with the ad
ministration and that neither will repre-
sent the United States at the coronation
Of King Edward.

MAN TO SUCCEED
CAGE NOT FOUND
Former Governor Shaw
Of Iowa May Get the
Cabinet Place.

WASHINGTON, Dec. GA tender OF
the Office Of Secretary Of the Treasury 10
succeed Secretary Gage has been made
10 former Governor Leslie N. Shaw Of
Iowa but IL is understood that up to
late hour tonight no response had been
received from Governor Shaw to the IN
qUiries sent him. At the White House no
Information on the subject is obtainable,
pending definite authorization of the
fact that a successor tg Secretary Gage
has been found.
DES MONIES, Iowa, Dec. 23.-Former
Governor Shaw left for the East tonight.
Seen as the train pulled OUT he said: 4
have seen the newspaper dispatches which
state that / have been selected by PreSl-
dent Roosevelt TO succeed Secretary Gage
as Secretary Of the Treasury in the Presl-
dents Cabinet have no other informa-
ton on the subject Manifestly 1 cannot
discuss IL. I have not received any infor-
nation on the subject from Washington,
either from President Roosevelt or from
any Iowa friends there"
The former Governor declined to state
his purpose in leaving the city for the
East, and he said he had not been called
10 Washington. It is generally understood
here that Governor Shaw has been de-
termined upon for the treasury portfolio,
\ ut the impression prevails that he viii
t-ObaDly not accept The position While
he is Well-tO-dO. he has not a large for
tune, ana II is possible that he would
think himself unable, in a financial sense,
20 accept the place At any rate, he could
not determine the matter before consulta-
uOn with some Of his friends who are
high in the councils Of the party in Iowa
and the nation.
CLEVELAND. Dec. 23.-Colonel Myron
T Herrick returned to Cleveland from
New York to-day. Regarding the men
ton of his name as successor TO Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Gage, he said he
had no offer Of the position and all he
knew about going into the Cabinet was
what appeared in the press dispatches
Colonel Herrick said that Judge Taft Of
the Philippine Commission is on his way
TO the United States and that on his ar
rival he CTafO might be given a Cabinet
position, and that if such proved to be
the case no other Ohio man could expect
a Cabinet portfolio.

BEYROUT EDICT
CAUSES A STIR
Tewfk Pasha Denies All
knowledge Of the Ex-
pulsion Order.

CONSTANTINOPLE,S Sunday, Dec. 22-
Replying to the protest of the United
States Charge d'Affaires here, Spencer
Eddy, against the notification issued by
the authorities of Beyrout, Syria, to the
effect that naturalized American citizens
must renounce their naturalization within
fifteen days, under penalty of being ex-
PEELED from Turkey, the Turkish Foreign
Minister, Tewfik Pasha, denied all konwl-
edge of the matter, but promised to in
quire into it and give Eddy a definite re-
ply On Monday.
WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-The State De-
partment confirms the report that Mr.
Eddy, our Charge at Constantinople is in
correspondence with the Porte relative to
the proposed expulsion of naturalized
American citizens from Turkey unless the
citizens abandon their allegiance to the
United States. Owing to the absence of a
naturalization treaty between the United
States and Turkey our Government has
no special authority to interfere in behalf
of these naturalized citizens, as against
an edict of expulsion. The reliance upon
broad principles of international law is
not strong, for the principle that a ma
ton may refuse to allow it's citizens to
well established. But admitting the right
Of expulsion, the United States Govern
ment has itself a right to insist that this
shall not be attended by hardship such
as might result from the allowance of a
very limited period of time for leaving
Turkey. 1t is possible that Eddy will take
advanced ground on that point if he can
not secure the abandonment of the pro-
jected order of expulsion.

MONASTERY FATE
IS DECAPITATIOH
Briere, the Murderer Of
Five Young Children,
Is Convicted.
French Father Commits In
fanticide in Order to
Marry a Widow.

CHARITIES, Dec. 23.-After weeks
trial, which has attracted the attention
Of the whole Of France, Briere, the
farmer of this vicinity, who on April q
murdered four Of his daughters, aged IA.
IL, and respectively and his son, Z years
old, stabbing and beating them to death
while they were in bed, was found guilty
to-day and condemned to be decapitated
by the guillotine. Briere persisted in de-
claring himself innocent, but the circum-
stantial evidence against him was over
whelming
A pathetic incident Of the trial occurred
when Briere's surviving little daughter
(who the police declare only escaped the
fate of the other children by not respond
ing to Briere's invitation to go see him)
went on the witness stand, sObbingly pro-
testing that her father was innocent and
begging the court to restore him to her.
Briere. at the time of the murders. as
serted that two trampS entered his house
during mis- absence and killed the chill
dren. He added that he returned while
the murderers were rObbing the place and
that they attacked him and after a des-
perate struggle left him for dead with
four stabs in the head. He further al
legged that the trampS escaped with the
sum of 1900 francs and a number of OBJ
Jects of value. Suspicion soon fell on
Brtere. 1t was suggested that he MUIR
dered his children in a fit of drunken mad
ness as he spent the evening of the MUIR
ueIS III uIIuhluS anu dS no trace Oh Lna
alleged trampS were found. Besides this,
Briere's S wounds were only slight and the
knife with which they were inflicted was
found to belong to his house. Finally a
blOOd-stained jacket belonging to BTIere
was discovered hidden under some straw in
the courtyard. His arrest followed. An
other theory advanced in connection with
the murders was that Brtere wanted to
marry a widow who had rejected him
on account of his large family and that
he therefore sent for all his children,
some of them at that time boarding with
neighbors, and committed the murders,
after which he invented the story of the
two tramps, hoping to thereby shield him
self from suspicion

JURY DECLARES
RATHBUN GUILTY
Indiana Murder Suspect
Is Convicted Of
Manslaughter.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Dec. "a
Newell c. Rathbun, who was tried on tue
charge of numbering Charles Goodman
by giving him poison, was found guilty of
manslaughter and his punishment fixed
at two to fourteen years IN the peniten-
tiary. The jury, which had been consid-
ering the case since Saturday afternoon
at 3:15, reported at 10 o'clock tonight.
Rathbun's attorneys asked for a new trial
and the motion will be passed upon later.
Charles Goodwin, Rathbuns alleged vic
tim, was found dead last month in hotel
in this city after he spent some time with
Rathbun. His body was shipped to Little
Rock, Ark, where Rathbuns wife lives
as that of Rathbun, on whose life an in
surance policy for $4,000 had been issued
Following the discovery that the body
was not Rathbun's came Rathbun's ar
rest at Louisville, where he had enlisted
under another name in the United States
army. The corpse was later identified as
that of Charles Goodman, a wanderer,
who came to Louisville from Evanston,
Ind, and met Rathbun iIf front of the
Salvation Army headquarters here.

KIISER'S HAND
IS NOT STAYED
Revolution in Venezuela
Will Not Prevent
Collection.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 1905 G STREET, n.
w, WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-No matter
what the internal political condition of
Venezuela may be, Germany Will carry
out her programme for the collection of
claims held by her subjects.
This is the expectation Of the admins
tratiOn officials. Advices received by the
State Department show that the revOlu-
tOnary movement is holding its own, and
President Castro will probably experience
dlfhculty in maintaining the control of the
government. The administration is hope
1uI that Germany Will consent to collect
SmaU proportion Of the S15 1000 she
has demanded, and will make an arrange
ment with Venezuela for a settlement Of
the remainder. 1t is out of the question,
the authorities say, for the Berlin Gov
ernment to expect to remain indefinitely
IN Venezuela, and time payment must be
determined upon.
The Navy Department was advised to-
day that the battleship Indiana left
arrive at her destination tomorrow and
viii remain there unless the situation in
Venezuela demands her presence at La
Guayra, or becomes such that she can
join the North Atlantic squadron.
BERLIN, Dec. 23.-The Foreign Office,
while 1t is reticent as to Germany's speci-
nc plans with regard TO Venezuela and the
time of their execution, gives the impress
Sion that something will be done soon.
1t is watching the uprising in Venezuela
under the leadership of General Mendoza.
If anything serious should come of this
revolutionary movement Germany will
suspend action in the matter until it shall
have been seen with what party the de
factO Government rests.
The Berlin newspapers continue to pub
lish everything available on this subject.
The Berliner Tageblatt sums up Ger
many's position in the Venezuelan matter
in the following words:
This new rebellion is of the most con-
sequence to our relations with that coun-
try. Our position toward the Government
Of Venezuela would naturally be influ-
enced If everything there goes to topsy

After the ferry-boat reached the Oak
land side the Duke, assisted by Mr. Cox,
walked slowly to the train that was to

There was no show, no long retinue of

tage of the sunlight and flowers.
The Duke of Newcastle is a title that
sounds imposing and with it comes a
picture of a stalwart soldier, sword in
hand. But this oppression is misleading
The present Duke of Newcastle is a sad,
pale-faced young man-one who looks
better fitted to be a cleric or a scholar
than the descendant of one of the old
sailors of England who swept the seas
and would rather sink his ship than sur
render. The present Duke is high
ritualistic member of the Church of Eng
land. He believes in the doctrines that
We're preached before the Reformation
in fact, yesterday he said that he en-
phaticallv denounced the present freedom

The Duke was interviewed on the Oak

question that was propounded to him.
His brother, Lord Hope, married May
YOhe, and it was rumored that the Duke

enable his brother to free himself from
his matrimonial ties. This the Duke of
Newcastle denied. He said he was here
for his health, and his pale and worn ap-

says that May Yohe never secured the
famous Hope gems which she has been
