PARIS FEELS CONFIDENT
Expectation of an Adjustment Of the
Difficulties.

Paris. Feb. 3.-Advices from .Ambas-
sador Jusseraud lead the officials to ex-
press confident expectation of an adjust
ment Of the Venezuelan difficulties. The
tendency here appears to be toward allow
ing tn allies a month or other brief period
for priority collection of the customs. As
it is estimated that the amount thus
collected will not exceed $4,000, it is con-
sidered that it will not interfere seriously
with ultimate equality in the treatment Of
all the claimants
1T is further said here that the negotia-
lions have developed a general disinclina-
ton to consider a reference to The Hague
court as means Of terminating the diff
ficulties.

Him Resign. .-
Washington, Feb 3.-The navy depart
ment is unwilling to allow Constructor
Hobson to retire from the navy, even upon
resignation outright and the abandonment
OF the privilege of going upon the retired

be made to induce him to remain on ac-
tive duty. The construction corps has
lost the services Of four able officers dur

ident of the Wabash railway coE,r:ny,
restraining the officers of the brother.
hoods represented in the controversy
and the employees of the road serving
on the grievance committees, from
calling a strike, was filed with Judge
Elmer B. Adams in the United States
district court at 1905 this morning.
Amdavits of many brotherhood officials
were simultaneously filed with the
answer Until last night wor kon the
important document had been carried
on unremittingly since Friday last,
by Judge w. T. Irwin, of Peoria; E.
J. Pinney, of Cleveland. and John H.
Murphy, of Denver, as counsels for
the brotherhood's interests. 1t con-
tanned $1,000 words.
The answer of the defendants in the
Wabash injunction, is a specific de
nial that the Wabash railway was ever
the employer Of the exclusive union Or
brotherhood members in its service,
and also denies that the brotherhood
of railway trainmen and brotherhood
of locomotive. firemen, Organizations in
volved in this proceeding, ever made
any demand or attempt to compel the
Wabash to place any restrictions
upon it's employees as to their connec-
tion with any brotherhood of the union.
The answer also states that several
employees engaged in the train ser-
vice Of the Wabash railway company,
have frequently presented their griev-
ance to the Wabash officials for an
adjustment and settlement, and that
the officers of said company have per-
sistently refused to consider or dis
cuss such grievances, from time to
time during the past few years. The
answer takes up one by one the alle-
cations in the bill of complaint and
denies them.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March AT 2
o'clock Judge Adams convened court
just long enough to state he will fix
a date for hearing the arguments.
Court was in session but three min
utes, during which the answer was
filed, and then an indefinite recess
was taken. Twas later agreed between
the attorneys for both sides, that they
will appear before Judge Adams at 2
o'clock this afternoon for hearing.

An Amusing Runaway.

There is rumor even in Wreckage,
says the Roswell Record. Last Mon
day afternoon while the military
boys were marching and the band
was playing-and this is no refiec-
ton on the band-two nluies and two
horses that were hitched to heavy
lumber wagon became badly frighten-
ed Music has strange effects on some
animals. The outfit was the property
of Mexican, and the entire outfit
with accelerated speed came down
Main street like a runaway trolley
car, but unlike trolley car it did
not cOnfine itself to any beaten track.
The band played on and at each toot
the horses and mules with the wagon
attachment went the faster, and
jumped the higher A man in a buggy
moving slowly along chanced to look
behind him and saw what was COM
ing. His only safety was to join the
race, and he did. The way he manag-
ed to keep ahead of the procession
proved that he would have made a
fortune on the race track. And now
the race was exciting. When the
'four-inhand" started the two mules
were hitched next to the wagon, and
the two horses were ahead. By the
time the aggregation reached the
front of Ullery's furniture store the
mules had changed places with the
horses and were pulling them along
at sixty mile an hour clip. At the
Porter-Ewell corner a man dashed
wildly into the street and tried to flag
them. and as they were not running
under orders, the effect it had was TO
cause them to take a side track, the
terminus of which proved to be the
electric light pole at the corner Of
the court house square. 1t was a sure
enough head-end collision and after
the crash there was miscellaneous
pile of wagon, horse and mule The
wagon was badly damaged, the horses
wriggled out and seemed a little
stiff, and the mules at the bottom of
the heap, when the wreckage was
pulled off them, got up, shook them
selves and with an air of injured in
nocence seemed to be inquiring Of
the by-standers as to what had hap
pened All of which goes to prove
that a wagon may be resolved into
kindling wood, horse may be laid
up with bruises, but a mule will sur
vive them ALL In language borrowed

live forever? Is it less strange, that
thou shouldst live at all, This is a
miracle, and that no more

Bryan's Hot Reception.

From the New York Times
William Jennings Bryan was sadly
discounted on a recent trip to this
city the more because his warm per-
sonal friend, DR.. John H. Girdner, was
responsible for it.
Mr.. Bryan and his wife were guests
of DIR. Girdner, and the telephone In
the latter'S house was almost con-
stantly in use, and many reporters
visited the house. The latter was cor
daily received and informed that it
would be pleasure to give them in
formation at any time. Mr.. Bryan was
scheduled for lecture in nearby
city, and on his departure intimated
he might remain away over night
DR.. Girdner retired about midnight,
and two hours later was aroused
from a sound sleep by the violent
ringing of the door bell. Only half
awake the doctor donned his bath
robe and slippers and descended the
what he considered the unnecessary
persistence Of newspaper reporters.
BY the time he had reached the
door the doctor was convinced his
caller was 2 reporter, and opening
the door on the chain, he proceeded
to deliver a discourse, largely compos-
ed OF emphatic adjectives, on what he
Thought was callous lack of considera-
ton on the part of representatives of
the press. The rain was falling in tor
rents at the time, but the doctor did
not release the chain.
Finally the man on the outside said
|pleadingly:
For heavens sake, doctor, open
the door. I'm Bryan"
The chain was promptly released,
the doctor exclaiming. "Why didn't
you say so before?n
Say so, calculated Mr.. Bryan,
How could |, man? You didn't give
me q chance,
