Special Dispatch to The CAN.

LONDON, Sept. 3.-A dispatch from
Berlin to the Daily Mail says the forth
coming designations of the Grown Prince
of Saxony and General Won Treitchke,
commanders, respectively. of the Twelfth
and Nineteenth Army Corps, are said to
form a sensational sequel to the recent
scandal in regard to Crown Princess
Louise. who eloped with Andre Giron, the
tntor of her children
1t will he remembered that about that
time her brother, the Archduke Ferdi-
nand thrashed the Crown Prince. Both
the Crown Prince and General Won Treit-
schke have been practically custed from
their commands owing to the indignation
felt in high military quarters here be-
cause the former failed to fight duel
with the Archduke
The Saxon court of honor, presided
over by General Won Treitschke. decided
that It was not necessary for the Crown
Prince to fight duel. The latter ac-
ouiesced in the decision and this oc-
casioned such anger and indignation that
the positions of both men were made un-
tenable. Their last appearance as army
officers will be during the annual
maneuvers next week.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., Sept 5.-President
Roosevelt laughs at the openly expressed
fears of his official household while re-
peatedly reassuring the livelier appre-
tensions of his family. His sentiments
concerning the visit of Henry weilbren-
ner are only of sympathy and pity for
the young farmer and his family One
of his inquiries to-day is said to have
been whether the malady which has sent
the young man to the Kings Park In
stitution Is durable
The President has announced that the
incident will make no change in the pro-
gramme of his daily life. If he wants to
go riding he will go; If he prefers boat
ride with his sons he will take it, and
in all events he is confident that he can
take care of himself.
If the President Is without fear the
Federal authorities as well as his own
family are not One of the results was
seen last night and to-day when the
guards around the Presidents home were
doubled and an order was sent out for
four more secret service men to join the
eight already on duty. This delegation
will remain with the PRESIDENT until ne
returns to Washington.
Around Syosset there is only sorrow ex-
pressed for the Wellbrenner family. Hen
ry Weilbrenner. known as a hard work
ing. silent farmer. had many friends and
the universal opirion that his visit
was simply the freak of diseased imag-
ination. For a month or more 1t was
known that he had deusions. He imag-
ined that certain men In the community
intended to attack him, for some un-
known reason, and he bought revolver
to defend himself. He never went into the
fields without taking it with him, his
brother said.
Before Weilbrenner drove to Oyster Bay
on Tuesday evening he stopped at Lang s
Hotel at Syosset and drank a glass of
gin, a glass of beer, ans bought three ci-
gars He talked with the proprietor, who
said there appeared to be absolutely
nothing unusual about the young man.
He drove from there to Sycamore Hill,
and secret service men thought yesterday
that before driving up the hill he had
reconnoitered afoot. 1t was he who was
seen by Mrs. Seaman, the gardeners wife.

held at the palace of Euxino-
grad, near Varna, to-day. The announce
ment OF the result of the deliberations. is
anxiously awaited here.
No definite news was received to-day
regarding the operations of the insur-
gents across the frontier. Bands vary
ing in strength are daily passing over the
border.
The insurgent general staff has issued
proclamation throughout Macedonia,
asking for the support of the whole pop
ulation and pointing out that the revo-
lutionary forces are not fighting for
neighboring power, but for human rights.
The Turkish troops recently made an
attempt to take a pass occupied by in
surgents through the valley of the Safes
ka River. but were defeated with great
loss.
A special dispatch from Rila, near the
Turkish frontier, says a courier has ar
rived there with copy of the proclama-
ton of general insurrection, which has
been daily awaited. The document is ad-
dressed to "Our brethren in Macedonia
and Adrianople," and begins by congrat-
ulating them upon the heroic fight they
have already waged. The proclamation
continues:

the dIl6TLOOn papers DuD-
lished a special edition announcing the
result. but the announcement had already
been discounted by the dispatches giving
the progress of the race.
The consensus of opinion is that Sir
Thomas Upton has done everything that
time and money could accomplish and
widespread sympathy for him is shown.
The chief hope expressed in the streets is
that Canada will enter the lists next wear
and possibly succeed where the mother
country has failed. It seems improbable
that, in view of the failure of Shamrock
III, another challenger will soon be dis
patched from England.
This mornings papers publish editorials
congratulating the United States upon
again retaining the Americas cup and
complimenting Sir Thomas Upton on his
gallant fight All the journals agree that
the contests were won by the better boat
and the cleyerer skipper and crew. and
admit that there seems to be no reason
why the United States should not retain
the cup for many years to come, since II
seems that Great Britain has something
tolearn from America in the matter of
yacht building.
The Daily Telegraph expresses the gen.
eral feeling, when, paying tribute to
the fairness with which the contests were
conducted, it says:

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Gas certificates of Indebtedness are still
off the list Of the Washington stock ex-
change After placing these securities.
which are to be issued as an extra div
idend some time about August 1 to the
stockholders OF record of June 15 on The
list day before yesterday, they were re-
moved yesterday by order Of the exchange
and the governing committee asked to con-
slider their future status. At the meeting
Of the exchange today the committee rec
commended that the certificates be listed
and that brokers memorandum when
and as issued be traded In.
It was stated that the officials Of the gas
company were advised that the signing of
the certificates by any one except the presi-
dent would not be legal and hence the en-
tire lot will have to be sent to Europe Tor
Mr.. Mclean to sign.
The report of the committee was referred
back as 1t was not thought that a paper
acknowledging the sale of the right to the
certificates when issued would be Satlsfac-
tory either at the banks or in transactions
1t is probable that the certificates will not
be formally listed in the exchange until Is
sued but that some arrangement will be
made by which daily quotations on them
can be given.
Arrangements have been made by George
w Weber to buy the seat on the Washing
ton stock exchange Of the late Horace z.
Ffoulke. The price is said to be 81, 800,
which was the consideration when the last
sale Of q seat was made.
Some Of the men who write fire and life
insurance policies are annoyed because or
the accumulation Of their checks at the
District Office They have been sent there
to pay the license tax for insurance brok-
ers, general agents and solicitors. The
checks however, have not been cashed in
many cases, as the office of the insurance
commissioner has not been able to issue
license certificates. In some instances
checks sent to the District over year ago
have not been cashed. It Is thought there
must be a large sum Of money in checks
credited to this fund.
While the failure of the checks to come
into the banks and be included in the bal
ance Of the deposit books Is an tncon-
venience, still some OF the brokers think
that the greatest harm arises from the
decentralization In the business Men who
are doing business as brokers and who
would therefore be required to pay license
of $50 year are not paying anything.
They take the ground that they will not
pay until the insurance department is ready
to issue license to them. So, 1t is said,
they go on with their business as brokers'
whereas If the license regulations were en-
forced they would probably take out per-
nit as solicitors and pay the required fee
Of 81 or S. per year. 1t is estimated that
during the past one and one-half years
since the establishment OF the insurance
department checks in payment OF the
license tax have accumula ted in the hands
of District officials to the extent at least Of
$1,000.
