1t is a rather interesting sight to
watch the efforts Of short motor

the circuit breaker with one hand,
and manipulate his controller and

Uruguayan Court Penalties Life

MONTEVIDEO. Uruguay, via Calves
ton NTeXas, July 16.-The Uruguayan
government authorities are considering
United States Minister Finchs communi
cation requesting a revision of the
courts decision in the suit brought by
Casimiro Castro against a New York life
insurance company
The government authorities are in 4
quandary as to how to proceed because of
the PRONUNCIATION of the decision. The
New York insurance company was or
dered by the court to pay Casimiro Cas-
tro S1.250.000 damages because the COM
pany's lawyer prosecuted Castro on the
charge Of insuring hOpelessly i'll per-
sons TO collect the claims after death.
and the accusation was not proved.
In it's defense the insurance company
alleged that it's lawyer was not author
lied to proceed against Castro and that
the attorney acted upon his own re-
sponsibility.
Minister Finch's note TO the Uruguayaa
government was to the effect that the
decision was unjust and that the exec
utive power should have the courts de-
cision nullihed. The evidence in the case
had been read by Mr.. Finch before he

RUSSIA TO INVITE
hANCHUR.AN TRADE
Alleged Opposition Not Due to
Ant-Foreign Feeling.

PORT ARTHUR, July 16.-The confer
ence of prominent Russian officials has
ended and the last special train de-
parted for Moscow yesterday Most Of
the visiting officials have gone. Exulta-
tion over Russia's increasing power in
Mancnuria was the dominant aote in the
gathering The possibility of taking
any backward steps as scoffed at if
mentioned by outsiders.
1t was admitted that the war possi-
bility was discussed, but 1t was denied
that that was the object of the confer
ence. The evidence of the increase of
of General Kuropatkin. the minister OF
war. and of the intention to bring more
troops to Manchuria, is abundant Or
ders were given to Port Arthur con-
tractors last week for an immediate
supply OF building material for bar
racks, to accommodate 10000 soldiers.
to be shipped to Khar5in.
The officials explained that Russia's
opposition to opening Manchurian towns
to foreigners was not based upon oppo-
sition TO foreigners. whose trade is de-
sired and who would in due time be in
vited to the country. But Russia object
ed, they stated, TO having consuls ac-
credited TO the Chinese government in
towns which are practically under Rus
sia's control, which would give the sub
jects of countries so represented the en-
joyment Of extraterritorial rights.
They asserted that such an arrange
ment would be certain to result in
great friction, such as occurred in Nlu-
chwang.
