NEAR The BREAKING POINT
AUSTRIA AND ITALY Sc
VERELY STRAINED.

Vienna, Nov. 1.-THE attack upon
the Italian students at Innsbruck Oc
casions great solicitude here. There
is no attempt to disguise in certain
official circles the apprehension that
the relations between Austria and
Italy, which have been strained for
some time, are now near the breaking
point. 1t is we'll known that the anti
Austrian feeling throughout Italy will
be greatly increased by the unfortu-
nate event and the public feeling,
which has long been excited under the
propaganda Of the Dante Alighieri So
ciety, may become inflamed to war
pitch. There can be no doubt that
Notwithstanding the earnest efforts Of
the German emperor and OF Count Won
BuelOw to pour Oil upon the troubled
waters the triple alliance is practically
at an end. The trouble was revived
recently by the failure to renew the
commercial treaty between the two
countries. The Hungarian government
opposed the renewal because of the
competition Of Italian wines and
produce and the Italian and Austro-
Hungarian governments were forced
to go under mOdus vivendi. There
was constant complaint in the south
ern provinces Of Austria of i'll treat
ment Of Italians by the German ele-
ment and of like i'll treatment of Aus
trians in Italy, which eliminated in
series Of disturbances throughout Italy
some time ago during which the es-
cutCheons of the Austrian cOnsulates
in several large cities Of Italy were
disfigured.

DEPUTIES IN HOT FIGHT.
Member of French Chamber Slaps
War Minister'S Face.


Paris, Nov 1.-THE stormiest ses-
sion the chamber of deputies has held
in many years occurred during the
day. AT the close of heated debate
Gabriel Syveton, a prominent Nation
alist deputy, stepped up to General
Andre, the minister of war, and
slapped his face After accomplish
ing this feat Syveton retreated rapidly
to the uppermost row Of seats, taking
refuge behind members OF the oppOsi-
ton.
A tremendous tumult ensued, depu-
ties of all parties crowding upon the
floor of the house, where free fight
was soon in progress. Speaker Bris-
son left the chair, thus suspending the
sitting. Eventually order was restored
and, the sitting being resumed, Syve-
tons temporary exclusion was voted.
The offender, however, refused to
quit his seat and it became necessary
again to suspend the sitting while he
was removed by the military.
General Andre is confined to his
room as a result of the assault. His
face is cut and otherwise slightly dis
figured.

lawyer at the bar before which he was
tried, has been found guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree on the charge
of having killed his wife. This carries
the death penalty. The jury was out
less than half an hour.
AS the jury filed In there was dead
silence in the courtroom and when the
defendant was asked to stand up he
rose calmly. When the words deter
mining his fate were uttered he
showed no signs of emotion, but when
his little daughter Ruby, with eyes red
dened by crying, climbed on his lap
and his relatives who have surround-
ed him throughout the trial moved
closer tears streamed down his cheeks
and the anguish he felt was depicted
on his face. The courts strict admoni-
tion that there must be no demonstra-
ton was adhered to.
The verdict came as climax to one
of the most important trials that has
been conducted in the state of Virginia
in recent years. None has aroused
deeper interest or been more
Closely Followed by the People.
A large number of witnesses were
heard and great amount of testimony
given and over three days were con-
sumed in arguments. The accused was
defended by an array Of counsel.

mayor was tried and convicted oc-
Cured on the night Of Sept. a. Mr..
and Mrs. McCue had gone to church,
returning home about p. m. Shortly

clad In a night robe, was found in
bathtub filed with water. Mr.. McCue
told those who came in that some one
had entered the house upon their re-
turn from church; that he had been
knocked senseless and his wife prob
ably killed. An investigation led to
the arrest on the charge of murder of
the man who four days before had re-
tired from the highest Office in the
city.
Mrs. McCue had received the con-
tents of a shotgun in her breast,
sufficient wound to cause instant
death, but in addition she had been

can take refuge not merely in per-

ARBITRATION WITH GERMANY
President and Secretary Hay Discuss
Negotiations.

+
Washington, Nov e. President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay had an
extended conference relative to the
proposed treaty of arbitration with
Germany. Early. in the day Ambassa-
dor Speck Won sSternburg called on
Secretary Hay atsthe state department
to discuss with him the initiation of
the negotiations for the treaty. At
the conclusion of their conference Sec
retary Hay went 20 the White House,
where he discussed the subject with
the president.
1t is understood that the treaty be-
tween America and Germany will be
modelled after that between America
and France, which recently was signed
by Ambassador Jusserand and Secre-
tary Hay. 1t is likely that the nego-
tiations will not consume a great deal
of time and that the treaty will be
ready for presentation to the United
States senate at the opening of con
gress in December.

any action had been taken at The

the Russians alternately credit us
with supernatural cleverness and fool

think they would see that it would be
almost suicidal for us to risk the
