DispeIIInE the Dream.

Cooley upon making a thorough investi-
cation OF Meisner's statements discovered
that the Toledo fortune had faded into
etheral visions. The inheritance was a
dream and his rich father proved to be a
former brewery collector. Meisner's only
true statement so far vouehed for was that
his father, George C. Meisner, was dead
having passed away in 49, He died leay-
ing a mere pittance.
Meisner's brilliant war record proved a
myth as did also the tale OF the sword
presented to him by the citizens of Toledo
for his brilliant and gallant service in the
Philippines as a lieutenant, while the OFFER
OF $50, 900 which Meisner said had been
made to him by J. B. Hyatt, a wealthy
Toledoite, proved thin air
Disguised. disheartened, and realizing
he had been searching for a phantom for
tune. Cooley returned.
Meisner in the meantime was busy with
his fortune" Architects were visited and
plans started for a fine IS 900 dwelling to
be erected on the corner of Twenty second
and Writ street, two lots were slikewise
selected, though no money exchanged
hands; a temporary residence on Spencer
street was rented for occupancy next week;
while a 500 piano was held for him at

orate dishes were laid aside at Hayden's

FRANCE HOLDS ALOOF.

PARIS, November 7.-Before giving q
formal recognition by France of the new

declaration that the new regime will carry

nection with the canal and other French
pro! erty interests.

the best reason to believe that France will
recc cgnize the Independence of the new
state.
Gable inquiries are now proceeding to
secure the specific assurance requested. The
French consul at Panama cables yesterday
tia Panama would. assume Colombia
former treaty and legal obligations.
THIS is considered by the officials here as
making practically certain the intentions
of the new state toward French property
question OF doubt a definite declaration
from the new regime is awaited.
When this is received 1t is expected that
the French course toward the recognition
of the new state will follow substantially
that taken by Washington yesterday, the
French consul at Panama being directed
TO enter into relations with the authorities.
and formal letters OF recognition following
later.
The officials here construe the action
taken by the United States as being
equivalent to a full recognition of the new
state.

PANAMA RECOGNITION
HOUSE REPUBLICANS DIsINcLIN
ED TO TALK.
Representative Adams Tells of the Ac
ton in Regard to Brazil, Which
Was Equally Prompt.

Republicans of the House were, in gen
eral, dsinclined today to discuss for pub
lcation the Panama situation and the rec
ognition of the new republic by the United
States. OF course, they will stand by the
administration IN their public utterances,
especially If the democrats show a dispos-
ition to criticise the administration for the
celerity with which action has been taken.
Democratic representatives were also
loath to talk freely at this time, in view,
perhaps, Of the possibility of the question
assuming a political aspect at an early
date.
In private conversation both criticism and
commendation were heard among members
of both parties. Some republican represen-
tatives expressed the fear that the prompt
ness of the administration in extending rec
OgnitiOn would subject this government TO
criticism by foreign governments, but even
the men who noticed that apprehension said
in the next breath that the circumstances
of the case left nothing else to be done.
The Case of Brazil.
Representative Adams of Pennsylvania, a
member Of the foreign affairs committee In
the last Congress and former minister to
Brazil, was asked by q Star reporter his
opinion of the action Of this government.
This is not the first time we have ex-
tended quick recognition to a new repub-
lic," said Mr.. Adams. II was the minister
to Brazil when the peoplesof that country
threw off the monarchy and established
republic. The change in government was
wrought within twenty-fopr hours. and
without disturbance. When we got down
to Rio Janeiro the nexf morning after the
revolt, we found bdsiness progressing,
stores open and. except for a patrol here
and there doing police duty, there were no
troops on the Streets -.---
within three daysssan6 practically as
soon as cable communication could be re-
stored. I was instruct6d 10 recognize the
new government" II
Representative Hull x Iowa. who will be
chairman of the military affairs committee,
commended the recognition of the new re-
public.
. Representative Mann Of Illinois said:
after the treatments accorded us. and
the hold up of the French people by the
government Of Bogota, Isthmk we We're
justified in taking any step dictated by the
occasion which would Nave ns in tefh-
nically safe position"

by land to Panama.
