ROW OVER CIGAR CASE.
Baron Rothschild, Ex-Minister and a
Pretty Actress, in a Scandal.

Paris, April 9.-Baron RothschiId and
his former intimate friend, ex-Minister
of Finance Caillaux, do not speak when
they pass by. and all on account of a
cigar case. 1t appears that for several
years Caillaux was a regular guest at
Baron Rothschild's bachelor apartments
over which a very pretty actress pre-
sided, and when the young lady confd-
ed in his excellency her great love of
art, Caillaux. not to appear rude, got
her a lifelong job at one of the theaters
owned by the state. Then, to show her
a most wonderful gold cigarette box,
set with diamonds and rubies, worth
some 5000 francs intrinsic value@ but
much more on account of its exquisite
workmanship Finally Baron Roth
schiid and the actress quarreled and SO
did Caillaux, because the latter gal
lantly took the lady's part. Only some
few days ago the former friends met in
a restaurant, when Cailaux, quite cas-
ually, offered Rothsehild his cigarette
box. The baron opened his eyes wide.
"A work of art he said. Permit me
to examine it," After a lengthy exami-
nation he put the box in his pocket,
remarking, Excuse me, that box was
stolen from my house"
CailIaux bristed up. Stolen; lmpos-
sible. 1 got it from Mile. x. X. You
are not base enough to accuse her of
theft?'
The baron was so base. and yester-
dav he and the ex-nlinister and the
actress assembled for a private hearing
at the palace of the ministry of justice.
Madanaioselle was frankness itself. Yes,
she gave the box to the minister, as
she lad the perfect right to do. for the
baron had told her over and over again
that everything in the house belonged
to her, and she could do with these
trifles as she pleased.

MAJORITY GROWS.
WaterwOrks Bonds Voted by
3,Ol5 Majority.

At the meeting of the canvassing
board Friday night a strong effort will
De made by the opponents of city own

that the waterworks bonds failed to

senting both sides of the controversy.
This afternoon the committee Of law
yers appointed by the Commercial club
viii hold a meeting for the purpose of
preparing to present the arguments of
those who think that the bonds We're
legally voted.
The returns of the judges made to the
commissioner of elections shows that
there was a total of 1921 votes cast
Some of the election board divided this
and shows how many were cast on the
general election, how many on the
school bond election, and how many
on the Waterworks bond election. This
total includes all of the ballots in the
ballot boxes, good, bad and blank
Taking this total vote as returned
gives the above total. 1t may be found
when the poll books are opened, how
ever, that in places where the total vote
was not given specifically for the bond
election the total is really considerably
lower.
There seems to have been a mistake
made in figuring up the total vote on
the waterworks bond proposition, and
the majority is according to the correct

CANAL OCCUPATION.
Visit of the Commission a Formal No
tlee to Colon ia.

washington, April 9.-An entirely new
Phase was given today to the proposed
inspection of the Panama canal by a
subcommittee of the Isthmian canal
commission when it was suggested in
diplomatic circles that the mission WAS
intended by the United States as a viz
tual taking possession of the French
holdings along the isthmus. This found
no echo in administration circles but
the fact that it was not denied when
suggested to one of the officers of the
state department lends color to the as
seFtion.
1t is pointed out that the Colombian
government has not yet ratified the ca
nal treaty through which the United
states expects to acquire title to the
canal strip for a hundred years, with the
privilege of renewing it at its own OPP
ton. There has been much talk of the
same interests which opposed the rati-
fication of the canal treaty and canal
legislation in the congress just closed
having changed their base of operations
to the Colombian capital. AS the Col
ombian government is to receive but
Sl0,0OO,00O of the purchase price when
the United States takes possession. and
as the present government has some
strong and bitter opponents, 1t has been
suggested that the government found
itself on the verge of being defeated ia
its programme of ratifying the treaty.
As there is no hint of objection or dis
satisfaction over the proposed visit of
Admiral Walker and his colleagues to
the isthmus, it is believed that there is
an understanding by the Washington
government with the Colombian gov
eminent Mr.. HeTTan. the Colombian
representative. has been in frequent
conference with Mr.. Hay, secretary Of
state. It is thought that the United
States. while sincerely DESTROYS of be-
ing informed as to the progress of the
work and wanting to direct it. if it
goes further. proposes by sending
commission to the isthrnus to show the
Colombians that this government is
much in earnest in its intention to build
a canal and will not take kindly to a
policy of vacillation and delay.

MORGAN NOT SATISFIED
Says Northern Securities De-

in discussing the Northern Securities
decision:
Until see the full text of the decl-

ever. it will not rest where it is.
The question Of the right of two or

ing upon the decision of the court to-
day as blow to railroad enterprise
should say that the reverse is the case.

ious to know its rights in the matter or
railroad construction and operation
stand.
The decision today is just one step
closer to a decision from the United
states supreme court which shall be
maj. for even if the Northern Seeurt-
ties had won today the government
would probably have appealed.
Ihe question was of such Importance
That an appeal was assured no matter
who Won. These facts are plain. Both
railroads held by the Northern Seeuri-
ties company still exist and are doing
a good business.

how the law is to be interpreted they

NO NEW WHITE HOUSE.
Plan for New Home for the Presi-
dent Abandoned

Washington, April Announcement
that the famous OaklaWn property at
the head of Connecticut avenue prob
ably will be purchased by some one of
the foreign government for an embassy
is taken here as putting a quietuS for
another decade at least upon the move
ment to build a magnificent new resi-
dence for the president of the United
States and transform the famous
White house into presidential offices.
For long time Oaklawn, which is
on the hill at the head of Connecticut
avenue, in the most aristoc~atic part
of Washington, has been held intact
with the idea that some day 1t would
be purchased by the United States gov
eminent for the presidents home 1t is
a large tract of land now occupied by
one of the old Washington families
The project to have the White house
built here has been agitated for a good
many years and has had many advo-
Gates. The argument has been ad-
vanced that the present White house
does not meet the demands of the pres
idential family-that it is an antiquated
structure out of keeping with the dig
has grown during recent years
The White house may not have the
dimensions of the palaces Of emperOrS
and kings, and it may not have the
elaborate interior decorations of some of
the modern houses, but it is close to
the hearts of the American people, and
members of congress have not shown
very great enthusiasm over the sug-
gesticn that it should be abandoned for
residential purposes in the interest Of
something new.
The report that the Oaklawn prop
erty was to go to the British govern
ment has been denied, but it seems to
be well established that the owners are
negotiating with some foreign govern
ment. It is presumed that this is either
the Russian government or the govern
ment of France. In either event it is
we'll accepted that the property is going
to pass into other hands than those
which have held it for some years, and
that the owners have abandoned all
nope of selling it to the government of
the United States.
The improvements recently made IN
the White house and the removal of
the presidents office to the box-like
little office building are responsible for
the abandonment of the presidential
project for the present.
There was a time when the nearness
of the Potomac flats which were pop
ularly supposed to breed malaria, was
cited as an objection to the White
house. but the reclamatin of the flats
and marshes along the river has re-
moved the grounds for that objection.
There is apparently no danger that at
any time in the immediate future, the
White house will be abandoned to Of
flee purposes

Cuba, Germany, and perhaps some 9TH
er European powers, viii ask both these
government for identical concessions to
them. OH the ground of the most IA
vored nation" clause in existing treat
les. This rumor seems TO have been
taken seriously at Berlin, and even III
this country some have used it as an
argument against ratification Of the
Cuban treaty, saying that we shall be
bound to grant the demands of Europe
or else violate our treaty obligations
and quarrel with those countries.
All such talk chiefly serves, however
to promote the gayety of nations The
idea that the conventional most IA
vored nation" clause applies to reci-
pFocity treaties is not to entertained for
a moment. Ever since the days of Mon
roe and Adams it has been a well estab-
lished principle that a covenant to give
to any nation the privileges that
are granted to the most favored nation
refers only to gratuitous privileges and
does not at all refer to privileges grant
ed on the condition Of reciprocal adj
yantages. That principle has been at
firmed and confirmed in too many cases
and during too many years to be seri-
ously challenged at this time
It may be, OF course, that Germany
and other nations will make some such
formal request. They viii not do So
however. with the slightest expectation
VIII be simply to remind the United
States that they, too. may take a hand
at the same game, and make CONNER
cial treaties discriminating in favor Of
other countries and thus against the
United States. The states must expect
that. Ne do not think It need be fright
ened at the prospect. There has been
some talk lately about a central Euro
pean customs union. to be formed for
the express purpose Of hoycotting the
United States. Thus far only one coun-
try appears to have approved of the
scheme, That country is Utopia.
