FRENCHMEN ACQUIT A WOMAN,
Vern Cello Killed Her Friend in At
tempting to Kill NJ, DescbapeI

Paris, April 19.-The trial of Vera Cello
was concluded to-day. She was acouit
tea OF the charge of attempting to kill
Prof. Emile Deschanel, Jan 10, and was
Immediately released.
Vera Cello fired a revolver at Prof
Deschanel just as he concluded a lecture
on French literature at the College of
france. Zelenine, the Russian girl stu
dent friend of Vera Cello, who intervened
between the latter and Prof DesehaneI
at the time and received a bullet in her
chest, died in the hospital after linger-
ing some time in agony. Prof
Deschanel frequently visited the
wounded girl at the hospital and daily
sent her bouquets of flowers up to the
time of her death. A strange feature Of
the case was Vera Gelo's obstinate ST.
ience as to the nature of the outrage she
claims was inflicted on her at Geneva by
a man she thought was Prof Deschanel.
she suffers from hysteria and medical
men believe she is the victim of haluci-
nations. The nervous twitchings of her
race as she sat in the dock revealed her
anguish. "A doctor who sat beside her
administered ether. The prisoner burst
out soobing when the judge spoke of Zeli-
nine.

TO COMPETE WITH COMBINE
The International Steel Company
Organized at Detroit

Detroit April 19.-After an all day con-
ference with contractors at the Russell
House here A. r. Hervey, president of the
Commercial Development Corporation of
Liverpool London and New York, closed a
deal to-day which will result in the for
nation of the International Steel, Iron
and Pipe Company, which will locate i'm
mense steel mills at Sault-Ste-Maria, on
both the Canadian and United States sides
of the 500 canal. with a capacity of Co.,
600 tons annually, and employing about
10000 men. The Consolidated Lake Supe-
rior Power Company of which Mr.. Clerge
is vice president, it is understood, will
take a large block of the $4,000, 600 of the
stock of the new company. AS an out
come of the establishing of the steel
works at the 500 it is said that a blast
furnace will be established in Detroit
with a capacity of 1000 tons OF pig iron
per day employing 1000 men. It was in
timated by those interested that the new
company would be an active competitor
of the recently formed steel combine in
the United States.

NOT READY FOR SURRENDER.
Boer War May Last Another Year
Yet, Says MIR. White.

noer war Nay Last Another year
Yet, Says Mr.. White.
Grand Rapids, Mich, April 19.-The Hon.
Sybrant Wesselius of this city. repre-
sentative of the American Transvaal
ter from Montagu White, American rep
resentative of the Transvaal RepubNcs
New York City, April 12.-Dear Sir: In
reply to your inquiry as to the rumors
about President Kruger and Mr.. Wolma-
rams counselling surrender 1 beg to in
form you that there is absolutely no
foundation for such ridiculous reports.
Both the President and Mr. Wolma-
rams, as we'll as the other advisors in Eu-
rope, are strongly opposed to any settle
ment involving a surrender of liberty or
independence; still less would they coun-
sci surrender, because time is the very
essence of the situation. Reports from
Gen. Botha and the other fighting gen.
erals, as late as the beginning of Feb
ruary, were encouraging and indicate
mat unless settlement is effected the
war viii be of long continuance. Even
the special correspondent of the London
Times estimates that it will last another
year. The burghers are carefully hus-
banding their ammunition, of
which they stiu hava
a generous supply, and there is no lack
OF food, while the men in the field are
py this time almost seasoned veterans.
The spirits of determination to continue
the struggle is indomitable
l am quite convinced that the indirect
effects of demonstrations in favor of the
Beers are beneficial to the Boer cause.
The absurd reports about DeWet going
insane and the Beers being hopeless
should be dismissed at once.
Yours faithfully, Montagu White"
