An INVESTIGATION BY AMERICANS.
Consul General Gowdy Orders Physf-
sinns Resident In Paris to Con-
Duct Autopsy and Report on
Death of California woman.

PARIS, Nov. 25.-The Gore tragedy
was presented in dramatic aspect
yesterday when the French officials
took De Rydzewski to the scene of the
occurrence and compelled him to re-
enact every detail of the affair, this
being done under the practice of the
French law, which requires the recon
stitution of the tragedy In the presence
Il officials under exactly the same
conditions as it was originally enacted.
The chamber was arranged as on the
night of the fatality, and the same
weapon was placed in De Rydzewskfs
hand to act out his version. AS far as
IN known the prisoner went through
the ordeal with fortltude without wa
vering from his first story Of the acci-
dental fnll of the revolver.
As the bullet was found buried in the
hair of the victim It is impossible to
verify the direction taken by the mis-
sile otherwise than by the wound. AS
a result of the examination the exam
ming magistrate has decided to set De
Rydzewsh at liberty professionally.
Before the party left the house NJ. Ber-
tlion, the criminologist, who is also in
vestigating the case on behalf of the
police, arrived and took several photo
graphs of the room after asking De
Rydzewski to place everything in ex-
scty the same position 1t occupied at
the moment of the tragedy. 1t is re-
ported that as he did this De Rydzew-
sAd evtnced considerable emotion.
At the same time the case has as
sumed an international aspect by the
action Of Consul General Gowdy in
following out the instructions of the
state department at Washington and
appointing a commission composed of
four American doctors residing in Par
b to conduct an Independent post NOR
tam examination.
The questions before the American
medical commission are delicate, as
their conclusions as to the course Of
the bullet may conflict with those of
the medical experts. The latter base
the accident theory on the upward
range of the bullet, but the American
officials believe that an independent
autopsy will establish the fact that the
range was almost horizontal, thus in
d1cating direct shot from an aimed
weapon.
The United States consulate staff Is
also taking the dispositions of witnesses
independent of those taken by the
French officials. So far this action has
not developed any new features, but
the dispositions furnish a complete and
unpreJudiced history Of the case and
will be forwarded to the state depart
ment at Washington. Mr.. Gowdy will
be represented at the examination of
De Rydzewski, in whose apartment
Mrs. Gore was killed, but as an observ
er, as care will be taken not to create
an impression that there is the least
official doubt OF the thoroughness of
French justice.

Honey by the Ton.

A correspondent from Susquehanna
says: "Whiie hunters were IN search
of rabbits on Elk mountain, they en-
countered huge ledge of rocks and
cliffs of great height and covering a
large area down which ran narrow
path. Descending to the middle of
the ledge they found multitudes of
wild honey bees. The bees savagely
attacked the hunters and drove them
from the ledge, but they returned and
built several huge bonhres and killed
great numbers of bees. Finally
search among the ledges revealed the
presence of honey IN great quantities.
The hunters carried away hundreds
of pounds. The sweet deposits have
evidently been there for years. Farmers
who have visited the place estimate
the weight of honey stored there at
several TONS"

ITHACA, n. Y, Nov. 25.-The vot-
ng machine in the Second district of
he Third ward of Ithaca was opened
pursuant to order of Supreme Court
Justice George F. Lyon, and as result
was found that Miller, the Demo
ratio candidate for mayor Of Ithaca,
'eceiyed 140 votes, or seven more than
vas accredited to him by the official
anvass, which indicated that the vote
or mayor had been tie between the
republican and Democratic candidates,
ach one having apparently received
Z .64S votes. Miller is therefore appar-

MAIL POUCHES STOLEN.
Chicago Thief Said to Have Secured
$4,000 In Broad Daylight.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-The Chicago
postofllce has been the victim of one Of
the most daring robberies that have ever
been perpetrated in this city. Ten thou
sand dollars Is the amount believed to
have been secured by the robber, who
made his escape without leaving any
clew to his identity.
Two mail sacks containing the mon
ey which had just been picked up from
two of the downtown substations were
left in an unprotected wagon in front
of the Masonic temple while the mail
carrier went into the building to gath
er mail that had accumulated there.
The carrier was gone only a moment,
but when he returned his horse and
wagon had disappeared.
The street was full of people at the
time, but no one seems to have noticed
the thief. The two small sacks, cut open
and rified of their contents, were found
near Kinks soap factory, fully a mile
from the scene Of the robbery. The
horse and rig were found two miles
farther west. No trace Of the robber
has been secured.

Ancient Picture GALLERY

A picture gallery that dates from
the stone age has been unearthed in a
cavern near Eyzies, France. The pic
lures, which are all of prehistoric an
imals, were not only cut in the rock,
as is usually the case with such repre-
sentations, but were painted in several
colors, and give some evidence of ar
tistic skill. There are so pictures, of
which 40 represent bisons of various
kinds. The pigments used, which are
shades of red and brown, have been
found, on analysis by Moissan, the en-
inent French chemist, to be ochres
mixed with minute fragments of trans
parent silica.

to tell this people that we have not the
power to solve such a problem as that
of exercising adequate supervision
over the great Industrial combinations

firmly made up our minds that solu-

from them. Scant is our patience with

Constitutional Convention.

Richmond, Va, Jan. II The con-
stitutional convention today adopted
an amendment by which the terms
Of senators will be two years instead
of four, and Il ey will be elected at
the same time as members of the
House OF Delegates. Biennial ses>
sions of the Legislature won the day.
Richmond. Va, Jan. 20.-The Con-
stltutional Convention has made
good progress during the past fort
night. There is, however, a DISPOSE
ton to attempt TO undo work already
finally disposed of and sent to the
Committee on Revision. The friends
of the university to-day succeeded
in passing without opposition a res
olution, resembling the vote to recon-
slider the section of the report OF the
Committee on Education, referring
to the annual appropriation to that
institution. The Convention a few
days ago refused to provide for this
appropriation, and as so amended
the article on education was adopt
ed and referred to the Committee on
Revision. To-day the Convention
rescinded this action so far as it
applies to the vote on the university
and the subject comes up again
Friday. 1t is TO be voted upon with
out debate.
Mr. Withers, of Danville, following
up this spirit OF undoing work finally
disposed Of, submitted a resolution
to rescind the action OF the Conven.
ton in rejecting the proposition to
elect judges by the people. The reso-
luton went to the Committee on the
Judiciary. Besides these PROPOSE
lions for cancelling work of the body
already disposed Of there are resolu- |
ions pending for resembling the ac-
ION of the Convention in rejecting |
he hold over senator system, and |
another for bringing up again the
question of quadrennial instead of I

The recent action of the Constitu-
tional Convention in changing the
term of Senator from four years to
two ought to be received with salts
faction by the people generally
throughout the State, in the light of
the information given below by the
Richmond correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun:
By it's action the Convention pro-
vldes that there shall be no hold over
Senators, but that the members of
that body and the House shall be
chosen at the same time and hold for
the same terms. The defeat of the
"hold-over" system in the Senate.
the friends OF the quadrennial SEES.
slons claim, was the very marrow in
the whole fight anyway. According
to their contention it was this feature
that the corporations desired to pre-
serve above all others In the report
Of the Legislative Committee. With
the State divided into two groups il
was far easier for that BODY to be
dominated by powerful and selfish
interests than when the whole mem
bership is elected at the same time.
Under system of quadrennial SEES
lions OF the Legislature the two
United States Senators would have
Doth been elected probably in 1903.
AS it is now, under the primary plan
just adopted by the Democratic State
oInmittee the Legislature will really
have no part in the selection of SEN
atOrs. These will be nominated at
the primaries, and the Assembly will
simply confirm the action of the
democratic voters as expressed at the
polls.
