which figured for only slightly more than
1, 900 shares. At the opening loss OF irac-

New York, Nov. 16-In the bath
room of his home In Ninth avenue was
found the body Of Chevalier Luigi
Petich, former ambassador of Italy to
Mexico. He had been dead for three
days, and apoplexy is said to have
been thecause of death. Chevalier
Petich, who was 65 years old, was a
man Of many attainments, a scientist,
inventor and scholar, but withal a
recluse. Only one person Of the neigh
borhood in which he lived Is known
to have ever talked with the cheyalier.
Chevalier Petich came to the United
States a few years ago with the In
tention Of recouping his fortunes so
that he might go to Buenos Ayres,
where his wife Is living. A dispossess
notice was served upon him last We'd
nesday. Among his effects were found
a small amount Of money, a jeweled
sword and chapeau and a handsomely
engrossed set 81 resolutions eulogistic
of the cheyalier signed by 100 dele
gates OF diplomatic convention held
In Antwerp In 1885.
Luigi Petich was the man who found
and owned the famous Smiling Toltec
heads" These were among the first
early American archaeological finds
which went to prove the relationship
of the earlier races Of this continent
with Asiatics. The heads were found
in Mexico in a sepuIchral moA6d, in
which skeletons and broken relics of
war were also disc2yefed. Replicas

When the senate went into executive
session TO refer the great batch OF APP
p0intments to the proper committees,
Senator Teller asked that considera-
ton of Woods nomination should be
deferred until there had been an oppor-
tunity to file charges.
Senator Hanna. who is bitterly OPP
posed to Wood, because of Woods
treatment of Major Estes G.. Rathbone,

man, was behind the request. He and
Teller have joined hands, and formal

The fact that the Jai Alai Company

Former Chancellor OF British ESehe'
quer Speaks On Fiscal Policy.


Bristol, Eng, Nov. 14.-Premier Bal
four was the principal speaker at q
dinner here in celebration of the All
niversary OF the birth of Edward Col
ston. the philanthropst. He spoke
appreciatingly OF Joseph Chamberlain,
who he said had given up everything
for what he considered the good OF the
British empire. He admitted that the
tariff. like the navy, might be abused,
but said he could not see why that con
slderation should debar the govern
ment from using either wisely. II
seemed to his little short OF lunacy II
they not only did not face the present
situation, but II they did not prepare
themselves for the dangers which were
foreshadowed.
Sir Michael HlcksBe followed
the premier. The appearance OF the
former chancellor of the exchequer on
the same platform with and in sup
port of Mr.. Balfour, although he mad
declared himself free trader, created
considerable interest and curiosity OH
Michael explained his attitude by ac-
cepting as the true diagnosis Mr. Bal
tours belief that the present govern
ment has still two or three years OF
life during which much useful work
was possible, and by admitting that
great injury had been done to British
trade by the protectionist policies Of
foreign countries. He was opposed to
both illegitimate cheapness and ille-
climate DEAFNESS through the opera
tions OF tariffs and trusts, but he IA.
vored the securing and the maintain
ing Of natural eheapness. Sir Michael
thought the government ought to be
armed with the weapons Of retaliation.
II the choice was to be between stand
ing on old lines or a genuine change
of fiscal policy, he preferred the latter.
