hagen on his first visit 10 Paris since his

American affairs: Although 1 have never
lived in the United States, said the am
bassador. II feel fairly well acquainted
with that country. as my diplomatic life
has brought me into contact with many
Americans and have formed many lasting
American friendships" The ambassador
spoke Of the pleasure with which he had
read President Roosevelts strenuous phil

PACIFIC CABLE PLANS.
Commercial Company Agrees to Con.
struct N Branch Line to China.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Clarence w.
Mackay, president of the Commercial Pa
cifc Gable Company. George c. Ward, vice
president and William Cook, general coun-
sci for the company. had an interview to-
day with the attorney general with respect
to the conditions prescribed by President
Roosevelt for constructing a transpacific
cable. These conditions were approved by
the President in July last, since which
time the Pacific Cable Company has not
officially notified the government as to its
intention or willingness to accept them
To-day, however, Mr.. Mackay explained to
the attorney general that the delay was
caused by protracted negotiations which
have only been brought to conclusion
within the last few days, TO secure land
ing place in China, TO comply with the
Presidents condition that an independent
American line should be constructed from
Manila TO Hong-Kong, thus giving an all
American through line to the Asiatic con-
tinent. 1t was this condition that was sup
posed to be the one that the cable COM
pany would be unwilling or unable to COM
ply with. 1t now announces its ability and
intention to construct line from Manila
to Shanghai, distance of about 200 miles,
and to have the same completed within
year.

REFORMATORY sQUABBLE
Close Relations that Exist Among Men
that Are Interested.


In connection with the controversy which
has arisen between Governor Durbin and
the members of the board of managers of
the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville.
a story came to light yesterday which IL
lustrates the community of interest said
to exist between Superintendent Hert. the
members of the board, a. w. Butler, Sec
retary of the State Board of Charities, and
Ernest Bicknell. of Chicago. who formerly
occupied the position now filled by Mr..
Butler The story is TO the effect that
Hert, Butler, Bicknell, DR.. Terhune and at
least one other member of the board were
associated in a coal-land speculation dur
ing the past year upon which they realized
a handsome profit. and that they, with one
two others, are now negotiating another
deal which is expected 10 result even more
advantageously. These men. IL is said, ac-
quired some options on coal lands in
Greene and adjoining counties about a year
ago. and after holding them several months
disposed of them at large profit. The
profits were so gratifying, in fact, that as
a mark of their appreciation for being let
in on the deal the members OF the COM
pany presented DR.. Terhune with a fine
gold watch.
The deal now pending is said to be SINH
lar one, and j. >. Mcdonald and another
member of the board. who were not in on
the first transaction, will share in the pro-
ceeds. Mcdonald was not member Of
the board when the first deal was engi-
neered. The exact profits are not known,
but it is said they were out of all proper
ton to the amount invested.
These transactions show that the mem
bers of the board, the present superintend-
ent and Ernest Bicknell and Secretary But
Ter, two of the men who are reported to
nave been consulted by the board in regard
to the selection of Herts successor. are
closely associated in a business way as well
as In an official capacity.
1t was also reported yesterday that the
position of superintendent was offered to
Ernest Bicknell before the tender was
made to Byers, the Ohio man, but that

NOTIFIED TOO LATE.


Governor Durbin was apprised late yes
terday afternoon Of the plans of Sheriff
Dudley, of Sullivan county, to attempt to
take James Moore, the Kentucky negro, to
the Sullivan county jail. Rumors of a
threatened lynching poured into the ex-
ecutive office and communication was i'm
mediately opened with Sullivan, Vincennes
and small towns in both Knox and Sullivan
counties.
The Governor was able to reach Sheriff
Dudley by telephone a little before z
o'clock The sheriff appeared greatly agi-
tated and excited, but could give no excuse
why he had not notified the Governor of
the imminent danger of mob violence. The
sheriff said the negro had been captured
just across the state line in Illinois by
himself and his deputies. The sheriff said

STLvER'S LOWEST EBB.

Londay. Nov. 26.-The continued
decline in the price of silver causes
some considerable comment in finan-
cial circles. According to the best
informed houses it is regarded as be-
ing directly due to China's flooding
the market in payment of the indem-
nifty to the powers. Piror to the pres
buyer of silver in London, but now
the balance of trade is reversed, and
instead of China taking silver in ex-
change for tea, silk and other articles
imported into the United Kingdom,
she has to ship silver in payment of
manufactured articles This alone,
without the large indemnity disburse-
ments. is con ,diered sufficient to ac-
count for the depreciation in the val
ue of the metal. 1t is pointed out
that even if China paid the indemnity
in gold. the result would be the same,
as she would have to send the same
to buy gold.
The Chinese contention that
China should pay the indemnity at
the higher rate of exchange in force
when the recent peace treaty was
signed, finds some support among the
leading English houses. who are not
only alarmed at the prevailing con-
dltions on account of their far eastern
trade, but also on account of their
large commerce with India.
Rumors were rife recently that this
was the cause of the decline, but these
find no credence among the larger An

SAVES A FORMER MEMBER OF

This is the Season to Use the
Great Medicine if You Would
Danish the Seeds of Dis
ease from the System.

On every hand we see men and women
who at this season should be active,
hale, and strong, losing flesh and weight,
looking pale and ianguid. We hear them
complain of weakness, pain in the chest,
backache, and sideache. Their friends
note with alarm the pale cheeks and
sunken eyes; the color of the skin gives
evidence of blood impurities.
All reader, these are all indications
that the deadly dregs OF grippe have
peTmeated the whole system, distribut
ing poisons and impurities IN blood and
tissues.
Act at once with wisdom and decision
you cannot afford to lose precious time
experimenting with medicines that have
no reputation, that have no positive VIC
| tories to their credit.
Heaven help you to use the life saver
that rescued and saved Mr.. Stephenson.
While in a perilOus condition of health,
Providence truly directed Mr., stephen
son to make use of Paine's Celery Com
pound. The first bottle produced mar
velous, and happy effect; his life blood
was being freshened and enriched; his
appetite was improved; strength was
taking the place of weakness; and the
rudy tinge of health was apparent in
the once pale face. Mr. D T. Stephen
son, of Pilot Knob, Ind, writes as fol-
| lows
"Some years ago while serving as q
member of the Indiana Legislature, ]
contracted a severe case of grippe, and
was run down and completely out of
sorts, and found but little relief from
any remedy until tried Paine's Celery
Compound. The first bottle did me
wonderful and mark good, and it's con-
tinued use for short time, restored me
to nv usual vigor and freshness, Your
Paine's Celery Compound has been used
by my family since then for general
prostration of the system, with the
most gratifying results. Paine's Celery
Compound is great quieter and restorer
of the nerves to their normal condition
indeed, its action on the nerves ard

Fox's wit.

The following is one of the many
stories told about Charles James Fox,
the English statesman and orator:
Mr.. Hare, envoy to the court of Po-
land, occupied rooms in the statesman's
"diggings." He was great personal
friend and indeed a man of very sim
liar tastes. They were each the OBJ
jects of continual inquiry on the part
of tradesmen and others. One day
Fox, looking out of the upper window,
deserted two men watching the house
and waiting. With a genial smile, he
shouted, "Pray, gentlemen, will you tell
me, are you Fox hunting or Hare hunt
ing today?"
The bailiffs were so tickled that they
went away.
