Lawyers on Both Sides Annoyed by
latest Denoument.
New York. March 29.-Because of a
letter published in the New York Her
ald yesterday morning, signed by
Actor William Faversham, and pur-
porting to give his version Of recent
divorce proceedings, counsel for both
the actor and his wife are much in
censed. Faversham, it is alleged, sal 4
in his letter that the divorce had been
arranged between, his wife, her ad-
visors and himself, that he will make
public the name of the poor, mys-
teal correspondent later" and that II
was fixed that he should find some
ground for the action.
This letter has led to fervent de-
mails that the divorce was a put-up
job. and If the allegations prove true
they would show conclusion to secure
q divorce. Counsel for both sides
deny Favershan's version.

EDWARDS FIRST LEVEE.
Very Brilliant Function, Tuesday Noon,
at st. James Palace.

London, Feb. liking Edwards
first levee since his accession to the
throne was held in st. James palace at
noon, Tuesday, and was an exceptional
ly brilliant function. The Prince of
Wales, the Duke of Connaught, and
other members of the royal family were
present and the gathering of members
of the diplomatic corps, cabinet minis
tiers and naval and military officers was
unprecendently large. The King, who
wore field marshal's uniform, drove
from Marlborough House to the garden
entrance of the palace, escorted by
Life guards. On his arrival there His
Majesty was received by the high Of
ficers of the household and was con-
Quoted by the lord chamberlain and
lord steward to the royal retiring room,
where the King was subsequently Joined
by the other members of the royal
family. A procession was then formed
and proceeded to the throne room
where the members of the royal family
took up positions on the left of His
Majesty in order of precedence.
The levee commenced with a recep-
ton of the ambassadors, who passed
before His Majesty in order of prece-
dence, followed by their secretaries and
the naval and military attaches, sub
sequently taking a stand by the side of
the members of the royal family. The
cabinet ministers and others entitled
to the privilege of being present fol-
lowed the diplomats, and finally the
general company, including Messrs. AL
lison Armour of Chicago and Charles
Gibson of Boston, passed before the
King.
| AS prince of Wales, King Edward
merely bowed to the presentee or shook
hands with intimate friends; but, Tues
| day, a new feature was introduced. All
those who were known to His Majesty,
kissed his hand, though they did not
knell, as was customary when kissing
the late Queen Victoria's hand. The
King himself selected those who were to
kiss his hand by extending his hand
palm downwards, whereupon the pre-
sentee placed his own hand beneath His
Majesty's and kissed the Kings hand
on the back. The majority of the pre-
sentee, therefore, had to be content
with a simple bow.
Crowds of people witnessed the ar
rival and departure of those who at
| tended the levee.

DIRECT ImPoRTATIoNs
From American Manufacturers to the
Dock at Nice.

Nice, France, Feb. 11.-One of the
features of the year 1901 in connection
with the importation of manufactures
from the United States to southern
France has been that, for the first time
in the history of the trade. direct i'm
portations have occurred from the
manufacturers to the docks at Nice.
Interested parties had for some time
teen indicating that a marked impetus
would be given to the trade by this
means. 1t was pointed out that the
geographical position of Nice was such
that the harbor need not depend upon
the distributive centers. as was here
tofore the case, nor submit to the in
creased cost caused by long railroad
journeys to the very considerable profit
Of the middlemen.
Direct importations are noted of
small machinery, job and newspaper
printing presses. paper cutting ma
chimes, patent clasp envelopes, fine en-
bossing card work and paper; and or
ders are now on the way for a number
of other manufactures. The result will
be that the list of United States ar
tlcles figuring in the custom house re-
turns as impOrtations will, it is esti-
ma ted, be doubled, if not trebled, in
1902.
Final results of the Inauguration Of
this direct trade can hardly be realized
yet as the saving. must certainly
amount to not less than SO per cent.
When it is said that goods may be car
ried by sea on through bills of lading
from New York at about % shillings
ton waiOhf SllrQn1anf tho
source of great saving will readily be
perceived. If the savings Of commits
sions and middlemen's profits be add
ed, the enormous incentive to trade
that will result can be readily UNDER
stood.
Direct importation inaugurated by
some of the consular officers of the
United States appears to be the sys-
tenn of commercial expansion of the
future.

TlNkERING THE RULES.
Further Changes Made by the Experts
at Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 1.-THE men,
bers of the different baseball associa-
tons who are revising the playing
rules, resumed their work, this morn
ing.
Following is the text of Sections
and of Rule A, defining a strike
as finally adopted:
Section 3, a foul hit ball not caught
on the fly. unless two strikes have
been already called. which falls or set
ties on foul ground inside or on the
line of territory described by lines
drawn from the first and third bases
at right angles with an imaginary line
drawn from home to second base and
extending on each side to the limit
of the playing field. %.
Section 4, any intention or effort to
hit the ball to foul ground outside of
the lines of the territory described by
lines drawn from first and third bases
at right angles with an imaginary line
drawn from home to second base and
extending on each side to the limit Of
the playing field"
Section was added to Rule AZ as fol-
lows: Section Aft while he be bats
man without making any attempt to
be hit with a ball from the pitcher, I'M
less in the opinion of the umpire he
plainly avoids making any effort to get
out of the way of the ball from the
pitcher and thereby permits himself to
be so hit.
A change in Rule II adopted, last
night, it was found, would prevent
| the catcher from going for foul balls,
consequently the words "And at all
| times during the game" which were
added at the end of the section, it was
| ordered shall be stricken out
Section 2 of Rule 80 was corrected by
the addition of the words Ito a base
man." so that it now reads:
Section 1.-The umpire shall call a
ball on the pitcher each time he de-
lays the game by failing to deliver
| the ball to the batsman when in po-
sition for longer period than 20 sec
onds. excepting that in the case of the
| first batsman in each inning, the
pitcher may occupy not more than one
minute in delivering not to exceed five
balls to a baseman.
Rule 68 was eliminated. 1t prohibited
the use during the game by manager
captain or player, of indecent or i'm
proper language directed at a spectator
umpire, manager, club official or a
player.
The changes made are final and will
not be referred to league presidents.
The members then adjourned subject
| to the call of Chairman Kilfoyle.

The Cqrriere della Sera of Milan.
prints an interview with Mr., Marconi,
had in London, in which the inventor is
quoted as saying that he was prepared
to pay $500 to any one who could inter-
rupt or read one of his wireless mes

mence operations by cutting the Trans
atlantic cable rates one-half, and would
afterward reduce the rates for short
distance land service. Marconi said he
left Italy because he could not get the
necessary financial support there. He
could only find in England and Amer

ton of it's wireless system on naval
