RUSSIA'S UNHAPPY CAR.
stories That show How His Mental
ity Is Questioned.

st. Petersburg, Nov. Alt has been
learned that the recent summoning of
Dr. Merzhievsky. one of the foremost
specialists in nervous diseases, to the
south of Russia, which gave rise to the
report that he was going to attend the
Car or Czarina, or both, their majes-
ties having in turn been alleged to be
suffering from melancholia, was to
visit Balakalava, where the Grand
Duke Nicholas Konstaninovitch is de-
tanned as insane
The latest reports about Philip, the
mesmerist who is said to have the
Car completely under his influence,
are that he is former French physi-
clan, a naturalized American, and
that he has been in Russia for about
year, living in the homes of two
Montenegrin princesses who married
Russians.
1t is added that the Car granted
Phllipp the right to practice medicine
IN Russia and to wear the epaulettes
of military surgeon of the rank of a
councillor of state, which equals that
OF general. Finally, it is asserted
that the court physician, DIR. OFT, went
10 Llvadia and succeeded in persuade
ing the Car to forbid Philip to prac-
tice on the Szarina, and the departure
of, the ministers of war, of the inte-
rior and of finance from Livadia was
interpreted as a sign that Philips in
f1uence was broken.
1t is also said that these ministers
jointly presented report to his mai
esty discrediting Philip. that the
Car defended Philip and resented
what he classed as interference with
his personal affairs. but finally yielded.
This is looked upon IN some quarters
as evidence that the optimistic state
ments on the subject of the Cars
mental conditinon require limitation.
Numerous persons who have returned
from, Livadia within the past three
days assert that the Car has been
moody and disguised because his early
hopes of introducing a happier regime
in Russia were frustrated by the re-
actionists, whose intimidation imposed
distasteful role upon him.
His majesty was also said to be in
genuine fear that his abdication would
be demanded, which was strengthened
by the sudden return of the Grand
Duke Michael and the latter's demon
strative public appearances.
Persons knowing the Car assert
that if he was forced to choose be-
tween the throne and domestic happi-
ness, he would abdicate

TALKING WITH LEADERS.
President Getting in His Last Work
on His Message.

Washington, Nov. 24.-President
Roosevelt will put the finishing
touches to his annual message to Con-
gress tomorrow. The document is
practically completed now, but it is his
desire to finally consult several of the
leaders in both branches of Congress
as to one or two features of the mes
sage before he commits it to the
hands of the printer.
This was a day of conferences at the
executive office. The President arrived
in his office and was soon besieged by
callers. With Senator Quay and with
Speaker Henderson, he was in confer
ence for half an hour or more. The
former did not hesitate to express his
opposition to any tariff revision, either
at the approaching short session of
Congress or in the next Congress. He
expects to press in the Senate this
winter the territorial statehood bill,
and is very optimistic as to the re-
suit. BY agreement the statehood bills
will be made the unfinished business
of the Senate soon after the session
begins.
The President conferred with Speak
er Henderson about the status of leg
islation in the House during the short
session, but the Speaker declined to
enter into any details of the confer
ence.
1t is the purpose of the President
to talk with some of the Republican
congressional leaders concerning his
attitude and their attitude on trusts
and the tariff. Discussion of the lat
ter subject, it is understood will be
with special reference to the reciproc-
ity question.

ARE FREE TO PUNISH.
Powers Given to Understand United
States Would Not Interfere.


Washington, Nov 24.-The State De-
partment is thoroughly informed of
the length to which Great Britain.
Germany and other European Powers
propose to go in their dealings with
Venezuela. Great Britain and Ger
many have, in fact, sounded the de-
partment to learn whether any ohiec-
tons would be made to active meas
ures on their part to secure the collec-
ton of debts due their citizens on ac-
count of violated concessions and the
destruction of their property incident
to the internal dissensions which have
ragged in Venezuela for several years
past.
The department has been extremely
cautious in dealing with these maui
r1es, but the substance of its replies in
all cases has been sent out in the
declaration of President Roosevelt that
the United States did not construe the
Monroe Doctrine to mean that it
should shelter any of the American re-
publics against the results of their own
misdeeds or violations of international
amenity. "a
The only condition made by the
President was that the punishment in
fiicted upon any of these South and
Central American republics by a Eu-
ropean Power must not include the
seizure by that Power of any American
soil

FRANC ISE TAX BILL
GETS FAVORABLE REPORT.
Ways and Means Committee Sup
ports the Measure.


Atlanta, Ga, Nov 24.-The Ways and
Means Committee this afternoon, by
a vote of IA to 5. reported back with
a recommendation that it be passed,
the old Howard franchise tax bill,
which was adopted by Hon. Murphy
Gambler of DeKalb as a substitute for
the bill of Mr.. Reid of Campbell.
This was the elimination of a hard
fight to prevent any action toward the
taxation of franchises. The bill pro-
vides that, every special franchise,
which is deliberately defined so as to
include every possible grant of any
value from the state, or from any
county or municipality, shall be as
sessed and taxed the same as other
property.
Then the committee took up the
franchise tax amendment to the gem
eral tax bill and adopted 1t by a vote
of 10 to 4. 1t viii. only require a ma
jority of qourum to incorporate this
amendment in the general tax BILL so
that the advocates of a franchise tax
will have two whacks at IT, If they
cannot get a constitutional majority
for the bill. they viii endeavor to put
the amendment through the General
Assembly by a majority of a quorum.

IN SETTLING WAR CLAIMS.
Commissions Announces Principles
That VIII Govern.


Washington, Nov. 24.-The Spanish
Claims Commission has enunciated the
principles by which it will be governed
in passing upon the various demurrers
which have been submitted to it in
connection with the claims now under
consideration on account of the war
between Spain and Cuba. The general
basis is laid down that in assuming
the responsibility, which would other
wise have been Spain's, the United
States is bound to pay all claims for
which Spain could have been held.
1t is further held that the insurrec-
ton in Cuba had gone beyond the
control of the Spanish government and
that ii was not responsible for dam
ages done to foreigners by the insur-
gents. If, however, 1t be shown that
the Spanish authorities might have
prevented the damage done in any par
ticular case by the exercise of due dill
igence, the commission announces that
it win hold that Spain was liable.
