OF LOCAL INTEREST.
Action of Senate District Committee
on Several Bills.

on Several Bills.
The Senate District committee met this
morning and ordered reports on several bills
of interest to the District.
A favorable report was ordered on an
amendment to the District bill for con-
tinuing the construction of the Connecticut
avenue bridge across Rock creek, with a
limit Of cost of $S50,OO0 and an appropria-
ton Of 100000
The committee did not like the principles
involved in Senate bill 4117, Ito prevent
various evil-disposed persons from resorting
to the District of Columbia for the purpose
Of committing crime This is a bill ap-
proved by the Commissioners, and under
1T the police are given power to arrest men
suspected of coming here to commit crime.
This applies especially to times when
crowds assemble in the city, such as occa-
sions Of inaugurations and great conven-
tions. The idea of arresting men without
the commitment of any overt or even sus-
picious act seemed to the committee to be
wholly unwarranted, and an adverse report
was ordered on the bill.
Favorable reports were ordered on House
bill 1888, to confirm the name of Seward
Square for the space formed by the inter-
section of G. street south and Pennsylvania
and North Carolina avenues; on House bill
1G099, to cancel certain taxes assessed
against the Kali tract, and House bill 14899
to amend an act to incorporate the National
Florence Crittenton Mission.
An adverse report was ordered on House
bill 1891, to provide for the abatement Of
nuisances in the District
House bill 14147. to amend the act for the
prevention of smoke in the District, was
referred to a subcommittee consisting Of
Senators Dillingham;, wellington and Clark.
The bill to change the form Of insurance
Of the Masonic Mutual Relief Association
was referred to Senator Wellington as
subcommittee.

FRANCE WILL PERSIST
Recognition in Settlement
With Venezuela.
REJECTION BY ALLIES
OF PROPOSITION FOR EQUAL
TREATMENT CONSIDERED.
Will Probably Be Further Negotiations
Toward Presentation and Accept
ance Of Principles.
REJECTION BY ALLIES

PARIS. January 3O.-The foreign office
here received today lengthy official advices
giving details of the rejection by the allies
Of the proposal that France and other
countries receive equal treatment in the
Venezuelan settlement.
The French officials had not doubted that
equal treatment would be recognized, and
this unexpected turn Of events has caused
much surprise and concern.
For the present 1t does not appear to
be the purpose of the French authorities
to assume an imperative position, but
rather to set forth what they regard as the
manifest equities Of the French position
with the view to induce It's further con-
sideration and acceptance. After confer
ring with those in chief authority an Off
cial said that the French position is based
on two essential principles:
Entitled to Equal Treatment.
The first is that a pacific settlement be
tween two sovereign nations is entitled at
least to equal treatment with war set
uement If not, precedent would be
established, the officials say, which would
be an incentive to war, as countries first
adopting force in the collection OF claims
would have superior rights to those OBJ
serving the usual pacific means of settle
ment.
-, 60. ionsi' ne,u mere 'ha' 'ne
-. aoe anu neieiuni are Iii
ehect pacnc auies, as they did not re-
sort to force against Venezuela.
AZ Is insisted that the present attitude Of
the allies tends not only to prejudice the
rights or the pacific allies. but also es-
tablishes the dangerous principle that
resort to war is preferable to efforts to
maintain peace

line. from New York for Philadelphia, car
rying a crew Of twenty-one men, is ashore
on a sand bar off latham life-saving sta
ton. near Avalon about twenty-five miles
south of this city.
The vessel went ashore at o'clock this
morning during the dense fog which pre-
walls along the coast. The Gulf Stream IL
lying broadside on the beach and is in q
dangerous position. 1t Is believed she will
become a total loss.
The life-saving crew has succeeded in
taking OF a part of the crew, and has gone
to the rescue Of the remainder. The work
Of rescue is dangerous account Of the
high seas and the thick fog.
All Bearings Lost.
Those Of the crew who have been landed
say that all bearings were lost during the
night. and that this was the reason of the
ship going ashore.

cargo but carries no passengers. She is a.
1000 ton vessel, is 218 feet long and her
beam IS 80 feet. Her home port is Philadel-

NEW YORK, January 30.-The dense fog
which has hung over New York for about
three days, and which was thicker than
ever last night and this morning, will soop
disappear, according to the local governs. r
ment weather forecaster. He said this
would be the last day Of the fog and that
the mist would be driven away by colder
weather and westerly or northwesteriy
winds
Not only New York and vicinity but the
the whole country from the coast to The
Mississippi river, has been visited by fog
during the last few days.
Along the coast in particular the thick
weather was caused, says the forecaster.
by southerly and easterly winds and a
change from cold to warmer weather. He
said the fog was the heaviest so far this
winter.
Lightning and Thunder at Boston
BOSTON, January 3O.-The dense fog
which has interfered with railroad traffic
and harbor navigation since Wednesday,
evening continued today.

railroads, but in the harbor the fog was as
thick as ever in the early morning and the
ferry service was much curtailed.
Just before am. several sharp peals Of
thunder were heard, followed by flashes of
lightning and a heavy rain. The at
was SO dark that lights had to be used in
all business houses.

WIRELESS NEWS.
First Attempt to Supply Incoming
Steamships.

LONDON, January 30-The first attempt
to supply incoming steamers with a news
service was made today, when Reuters
Telegram Company filed with the Marconi
Wireless Telegraph Company 100 words of
news for the Cunard line steamer Lucania
which left New York Saturday last, and
which is due to arrive at Queenstown today
or tomorrow.
The wireless company, thus far, will only
engage to attempt to transmit messages
twenty to thirty miles from Brow Head.
so the news will only reach the steamer a
few hours before her arrival at Queens
town.
The company will have a better chance
with the Atlantic transport line steamer
Minnetonka, which also left New York Sat
urday, to which a news message will be
transmitted tomorrow.
The Minnetonka passes twenty miles from
the Scilly Islands. but only reaches Lon
don forty-eight hours later.

TO GET A BIG ESTATE
COUNTESS PALMED OFF SON OF
ANOTHER AS HER OWN.
child's Mother Was Daughter Of Rail-
road WatchmanEven Servants
Were in Dark.

BERLIN, January 3o.-The Countess Isa-
bella Wesierska Kwilecki. who has, again
been arrested and charged with pretending
to have borne son six years ago and pre-
senting him as the heir to an estate at
Wroblewo, province of Posen, is ffty-seven
years old and white haired, though still an
animated, brilliant woman.
She was fifty-one when the child was
born. She had three daughters. It is al
legged that the countess seemingly had two
ladies Of high rank as accomplices.
These, whose names have not been dis
closed, are said to have procured the illegti-
mate son Of the daughter of a railroad
watchman in Austria and at the proper
moment to have brought the. baby to the
countess apartments here.
They went. it is asserted, from the rail-
road station In a cab,. gave the driver q
gold piece as gratuity and entered the
house, one Of them carrying the baby done
up in shawl-straps, with a breathing space
cut in the bottom Of the bundle.
Even Servants Did Not Know.
The child, 1t is further claimed, was prob
ably drugged and was apparently kept two
days in the house before its birth was an
nounced. The servants Of the countess, it
seems, did not even know of the presence
of the child.
Those nearest to the countess took the
birth in good faith. The old count Wesiers-
ka, who was in fragile health and who was
in Italy at the time, telegraphed to the
family doctor at Posen to go to Berlin and
assist in taking care Of the mother and
child.
The doctor came to this city, but the
countess would not see him, and sent the
doctor word that she had every necessary
attention.
When the legitimacy Of the child was first
contested the countess aserrea tnat sne nad
who has since died.

Conference With Baron aevers.

Baron Gevers, the minister of the Neither
lands. called at the State Department today
and talked over the Venezuelan situation
with Secretary Hay from the standpoint of
the unallied claimant nations, in which the
Netherlands and the United States are in
cluded. Baron Gevers has been assured
by Minister Bowen that the claims of the
Netherlands will be duly cared for, and
that as soon as the blockading powers have
Withdrawn their ships he will take up the
claims Of Holland. The interesting point
was advanced today that the allied powers
had reckoned without their host in think
ing that the United States would be kept
out OF the Venezuelan dispute so long as
the Monroe doctrine was not infrnged upon
If Washington protests at all against the
selfish attitude Of the London, Berlin and
Rome governments it will be as a claimant
nation and in unison with the other claim
ant powers who cannot afford to have their
interests in Venezuela menaced.
