COST OF A FALSE HEIR
SAYS SHE PAID 100 Gull
DEN FOR A BOY INFANT.
Child Was Given to the Countess XVII
Iecki, Who Wished an Heir for
Her Estate.

BERLIN, Nov. 1O.-At to-day's session OF
the court which is trying the Countess lsa-
bella Wesierska Kwilecki, charged with
presenting a false heir to an estate at
Wroblewo, a midwife testified that two
women, several years ago. came to Cracow
and opened communications with her for
the = purpose of getting an infant boy.
which one of the women said was for her
daughter, who was a countess. The mid
wife thought Immediately of Cecilia Meyer
and her relations with the Austrian cap
tain who has figured in the case since the
woman demanded hat the child be OF
good blood. After delivering the Meyer girl
the midwife bought the child for a hundred
gulden. The witness was unable to give
the exact date of the purchase, but she
thought it was Jan. %, 1897.
Cecilia Meyer testified 10 selling her Sec
ond son for a hundred gulden, Jan. "a,
1897. The women who were seeking for a
male child thought Cecelia's boy was toe
big, but they agreed that he would serve.
Later the Meyer girl regretted the loss OF
the boy and went to former Judge Flo

ing the child, but she failed TO get the
boy.
Judge Filomowski in his testimony sub
stantiated this story. He swore Cecilia

bow. but he recognized the story when the
Countess Isabella was arrested last Jan
uary and the matter appeared In the news

Will BE A SEVERE BLOW
EMPEROR WILLIAM WILL BE
FORCED To LIMIT HIS TALKING.
Growth on His Vocal Chord Now Said
to he Due to Straining His Voice
i'm Speaking.

BERLIN, New. 10.-A bulletin on the con-
dition of Emperor William, issued at the
new palace, Pottsdam, says there is a slow
improvement in the appearance of the left
vocal chord. and adds that the Emperor to-
day resumed his usual morning walk in the
garden.
The Emperor will have to abstain from
much public speaking in the future. The
growth of the vocal chord appears to have
been caused by straining the voice. His
Majesty, as is well known, talks much in
public, addressing the guests at dinners
and speaking to large open-air companies
at the unwilling of monuments. launchings
and reviews of troops Professor Ortiz s
microscopic examination showed that the
dark matter found originated from previous
bIeedings within the polypus, which con-
tanned a great number of minute blood ves-
sells. The ~bleedings were almost certainly
caused by loud speaking. The Emperor's
voice of recent years has always appeared
somewhat hoarse. but his encourage no.
ticed that it was hoarser than usual during
the last three weeks.
DIR. Moritz Schmidt gives his attention
solely to the Emperor's case, having re-
tired from active practice half a year ago.
The crown prince, Frederick William. re-
turned to the new palace to-day from hunt
ing at Wernigerode.

CALLED.


HELENA. Mont. Nov. 10.-Governor
Toole this afternoon called a special ses-
sion of the Legislature to meet on Dec. 10
to pass laws to relieve the industrial stu
alton in Montana caused by the shutting
down of the Amalgamated Company's
properties, whereby 1900 workmen were
thrown out Of work and 1900 more affected.
The aim OF the session Is to pass a law
whereby mining cases may be taken from
one court to another when the judge in
the initial court Is shown to be ~prejudiced.
A so-called fair bill. of the character pro-
posed, was passed by the last Legislature,
but was decided by the Supreme Court to
be unconstitutional on technical grounds.
Recently. at Butte. Judge William Clancy,
OF the District Court, gave a decision in
which he said that he might appoint a re-
ceiver at any time for the Boston and Mon
tana Company, one OF the largest con-
stiuent companies OF the Amalgamated

shut down all the Amalgamated properties
in Montana and elsewhere, declaring that
the company was unable TO secure judicial
fairness In the courts and could not con-
tinue in business. Since that time Governor
Toole has been overwhelmed with petitions
signed by thousands Of citizens Of Montana
asking him to call a special session to
pass laws 10 relieve the conditions.
The works of the Amalgamated Company
will at once resume in various parts of the
State. This includes the Greater Mines, In
Butte: the smelter of the Washoe Com
pany, in Anaconda, the largest In the world;
the shelters of the Boston and Montana
Company, in Great Falls, also vast In their
capacity; the coal mines at Storrs, Belt.
Oakdale and In Wyoming: the Great Quar-
~, In northern Montana, and the Immense
western Montana.
Probably more Than 1900 men will be
employed directly In the properties OF the
Amalgamated and that many more will be
indirectly given employment in the way
OF furnishing supplies and the like.

General Jiminez, Who Was Ousted
Recently, Again Proclaimed Pres
fdent of the Republic.
REBELS sHELLED THE CITY
BUT ARE SAID TO HAVE INFLICTED
LITTLE DAMAGE.
BeIated Messages from Minister
Powell-Cruiser Baltimore Due at
the Dominican Capital.

CAPE HAYTIEN, Nov. 1o.-A dispatch
from Monte Christie says it is reported
there that San Domingo has capitulated to
the revolutionists, and that General Jiminez
has been proclaimed President of the re-
public.
PARIS, Nov. 10.-A dispatch here from
Cape Haytien says that after three days
fighting President Wos y Gil took refuge
in the German consulate at San Domingo.
The revolution is considered at an end.
SAN DOMINGO, Republic of Santo Do
mingo, Nov. 7.-(Delayed in Transmission.)
The revolutionary forces. which now sur
round this city, attacked San Domingo last
night. using artillery, but no damage was
done. The revolutionary commander this
afternoon sent a messenger under a flag Of
truce to demand the surrender of the cap
ital, which was refused, and hostilities
were resumed. San Domingo is strongly
fortified and provisions are plentiful.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1o.-The State De-
partment received the following cablegram
from Minister Powell, dated San Domingo,
Nov. 6, II p. m: insurgents have reached
the city. Attacked tonight on three sides.
City being shelled. No damage"
Another belated dispatch under same date
said: 'Macoriz has just been bombarded
by a San DOMINICAN naval vessel and par
TALLY destroyed. The ship then returned to
San Domingo city. The American interests
in Macoris are very considerable"
Macoris is a frult-shipping port, doing a
large business with the United States, and
the bombardment Is supposed TO have been
without the required twenty-four hours
notice. If il appears that American inter
csts have suffered by arbitrary action at
the hands of the Dominican government
the State Department will demand full
redress and the cruiser Baltimore, now al
Puerto Plata, undoubtedly will prevent fur
ther happenings of this kind. Two German
warships which started from st. Thomas
yesterday morning are also available by
this time to aid in the maintenance OF
order.
Late tonight assistant Secretary LOOMS,
of the State Department, called at the ex-
ecutive offices of the White Hous and
spent some time in the telegraph room. He
refused to admit that he was cabling fresh
instructions to Minister Powell, although
he said thai late In the afternoon he no.
titled the minister that the cruiser Balti-
more was now on her way to that city
and would probably reach there some time
during the hight. The dispatch reporting
the capitulation of the city of San DomingC
to the revolutionists was shown to Mr.
LOOMS, and he expressed the opinion tina
such action might nave taken place sub
sequent to Minister Powelrs cablegran
that the situation was serious.

Former Wealthy stock Raiser and
Shipper Forced Il thu Wall.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, Nov. u.-Nathan Daugh-
erty, a prominent farmer and stockraiser,
has a fine body OF land in the Wabash
valley, near Lagro. this county, to-day
filed a deed of assignment to Wilson Farr,
OF all his property. Daugherty was a
breeder and shipper of fine cattle, and got
into debt heavily in conducting this busi-
ness. He was not, however. involved deep
enough to bankrupt him until he began to
indorse the notes of s. H. Goldman, of the
Wabash Stock Farm Company and Wa
bash bridge and iron works, now in bank
ruptcy, and the participation of the failure
is due to the collapse of those corporations.
The liabilities of Daugherty. actual and
contingent, are about $25, 900, and the assets
will not exceed SIS, 600, including fifty head
of Hereford cattle. The creditors are near
ly all local and are as follows: Citizens
Bank, Huntington, 1920; Farmers and Mer-
chants National Bank, Wabash, 81, 400:
Citizens Bank, Wabash, 1880; E.. w.
Bowen & Co., Delphi, s., coo; Wabash Ma
tional Bank. Wabash, $3.50; Thomas Mote.
Wabash, sl,575; Thomas Payne. Wabash.
Peabody, Columbia City. $3.50. On the eve
of failure Daugherty gave preferences to
George Daugherty, Sc, 6Ss; Mary A. Daugh-
erty, 81 ,955; Sarah Daugherty. 81, 749; Will
son Farr, 81, 495. An attempt will be made
to force Daugherty into bankruptcy, and
the mortgages he has given TO the preferred
creditors will be vigorously attacked.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 1O.-Judge Penfield.
solicitor of the United States Department
Of State. continuing his argument to-day
before the Venezuelan arbitration tribunal.
declared the blockading powers were salts
fed with the protocol of Feb. IL. and the
compromise OF May 4. in which there was
no stipulation OF preference. The guaran-
tee of 80 per cent. of the customs dues was
sufficient to satisfy all as the mixed COM
missions only allowed a small proportion of
the various claims brought before them.
The United States never consented to the
action of the blockaders in seeking prefer
entail treatment at the expense of the
other creditors. The maxim that war gave
preferential rights had long been aban-
doned. From the beginning of the contro-
versy the President of the United States
favored submitting the dispute to The
Hague tribunal and the American govern
ment was now confident that the decision
of the tribunal would be in accordance with
the clearest principles of justice and right.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Nov. 10-That
the Pittsburg Columbia Gas and Oil Com
pany, which recently acquired the terri
tory OIL the American Window Glass Com
pany. proposes to become one of the most
productive concerns in the West there is
no question. G. w. Rowley, of Pittsburg,
who is to superintend the field work of the
big concern, arrived here Tuesday morn
ing with the first colony of men to go to
work for the company. He will start seven
drilling outfits to work at once and this
will be reinforced by at least forty more
in the hoosier oil field within the next
few months. Rowley also brought his drill
ers with him who will do the work. 1t is
said to be the intention to increase the
production on their holdings at least a
thousand barrels a day. The development
of the Indiana field is now in the hands
of only a few large and wealthy con-
Germs and the operations are on such an
extensive scale that the small concerns can
not compete with the big companies which
will contract to sink almost any number
OF wells at an enormous expense.
