Circles

Growing Impatience in French Official
Circles.
Paris, Oct. 14.-Oficial quarters here
show growing impatience at President
Castro's failure thus far to withdraw
his offensive action toward M. Taigny,
the French charge d'affaires at Ca
racas. Although no definite determine.
tion has been reached intimations are
made that the situation may not per-
nit of indefinite delay, as President
Castro's inaction, amounting to re
fusal to withdraw his offensive action.
may lead French public opinion to re.
quire the government to adopt more
decisive measures to redress the Of
tense.
The Patrie publishes a dispatch from
I.orient saying that the French cruiser
Chasseloup-Laubat, which has re-
turned there from Newfoundland, will
not be disarmed as was intended, "as
she will make part of naval division
which Is going to be formed for the
purpose of making a demonstration In
Venezuelan waters. The cruiser has
just completed a speed trial showing
that she can steam nineteen knots"
The foregoing is not confirmed In
official quarters here, hut seems to ac-
cord with theseroWing feeling OF Inn
patience among the officials and the
tntimations that decisive action will
not long be deferred.

Runaway Dash.

dash an Illinois Central fast mail train
that left for the South at 2:2O q. m.
narrowly escaped wreck and destruc.
tion at Grand Crossing. The engineer.
Frank A. Rugg, was struck by some
projection after passing Sixty-third
street and fell unconscious at his post.
Not until the destruction of the train
was imminent was his condition discoy
cred and the wild flight of the fast mail
brought to an end by Riggs fireman.
Tearing through darkness the train ap-
preached network of tracks at Grand
Crossing with undiminished speed,
contrary to all regulations. Realizing
that something was wrong Paul A.
Wheeler, the fireman, leaped to the
engineers bench to find the latter un.
conscious and bleeding from jagged
wound in the head. The fireman
brought the train to stop at the verge
OF the danger point. 1t was found that
Riggs head had struck some object
while he was peering from the cab
window. His injuries are not consid.
cred fatal.

COMPROMISE IS EFFECTED,
Price to Be Paid for Friars' Lands
Agreed Upon.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Secretary Taft
has approved settlement with the
Philippine government which CON-
pletes the purchase of the Dominican
lriar lands in the Philippines. After
the contracts were signed it was found
that mistake had occurred by reason
Of a difference in the Spanish and Eng
lish versions of the price. The Span
sh version made the price 100000
more than the English version did, 1t
was found that some of the titles were
defective. When Secretary Taft was
there he made compromise by which
the English version of the sum was to
be paid for the lands or the question
referred to arbitration. Since Secre-
tary Taft's return letter has been re-
ceived saying the Dominican agents
have offered to compromise by accept
Ing $4,000. Secretary Taft has
cabled approving the compromise. The
total amount paid to the Dominicans
Is $3,050,OO0. The money will be paid
In New York about Oct 20.

meeting OF the cabinet all the mem
bers remained until adjournment OF
the session. very unusual proceed
ing. For two hours Of the time OF the
meeting the cabinet discussed the
question OF the fitness of various per-
sons for federal judgeshiDs and United
States attorneys and other federal o.
fees without coming to conclusion
with regard to any. The. subject of
campaign contributions and the partici-
patton of federal judges in political
campaigns, with particular reference
to the case OF Justice Baker of Indiana,

verbal report made by Judge w. J..
Calhoun To the PRESIDENT and Secre-
tary Root on his inquiry into the Ven
eZuelan question. 1t is expected that
the president VIII take up the Yenezu-

JACOB HEYL SUBJECTED TO Sc.
WERE EXAMINATION IN MIL.
WAuKEE WIEL CONTEST.
DETAILS OF. LlfE's HISTORY DIYuL6ED
WITNESS AT TIMES DRIVEN TO
THE DECLARATION THAT. He
COULD NOT ANSWER.

Milwaukee, Oct. 14.-Few men have
been subjected to cross examination
as severe as that which is being ad-
ministered to Jacob Heyl by James G.
Flanders, attorney for Emil Schan-
dein and Mrs. Louis F. Frank, con-
testants of the will of their mother,
Mrs. Lisette Schandein.
The man, who is accused of using
undue influence on his mother-in-law
with the result that she gave most of
her millions to his wife, is being COM
PEELED to divulge all of the details of
his lifes history-even to the thoughts
which have not been spoken. Mr.
Flanders has been unsparing of the
man who came to America penniless

900 from his benefactress and who
married two of her daughters with the
result he is now the husband OF the
residuary legatee Of the Schandein
fortune.

Heyl shows the ettectS OF the long nght
which has centered about him. Pre-
pared, as few witnesses are, for the
ordeal which has fallen to his fate it
has taken all the mental concentration
at his command. With the eyes of
Judge Carpenter seldom off him Heyl
has given his version of the incidents
testified to by the witnesses for the
contestants to the will. At times the
merciless questions directed at Heyl
have driven him to the declaration that
he could not answer.
Letters of Emil Schandein and Mrs.
Frank. under the control of Heyl, were
demanded from him during the day by
Mr.. Flanders. The attorney also asked
that additional letters written to Mr..
Heyl by his mother-in-law be intro
duced in evidence.

PUNISH INSURANCE OFFICIALS
New York Merchants Association De-

New York Merchants Association De-
mands Action.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE Merchants
association of New York, through its
board of directors, has adopted reso-
lutions calling upon the district attor-
ney OF New York county to ascertain
whether an indictment cannot be found
against the officers of life insurance
companies who have contributed the
funds of the companies to political
campaign committees. The association
also asks that civil action be insti-
tuted by the state attorney general
looking to the restitution of the money
so contributed.
In addition to the adoption Of the
resolutions the Merchants association
announced that District Attorney
Jerome would be requested to recon-
slider his determination not to ask for
an extraordinary session of the grand
jury to consider the matter at this
time.
Charles E. Hughes, counsel to the
legislative insurance inquiry, and Sam
uel Untermeyer, counsel to James H.
Hyde, had a conference in Mr.. Hughes
Office. While neither lawyer would
discuss the matter it is said as re-
suit of the meeting Mr.. Hyde probably
will appear voluntarily as witness
before the investigating committee,
though it is likely he will not be sum
moned in the immediate future.
Mr.. Hughes has gone on record as
refusing to promise to Mr.. Hyde any
special immunity or privileges as a
witness and it is understood that when
he appears to testify he will stand on
the same footing as others.

hearty sorrow at the death of Prince
sergius Troubetskoy, the foremost Lib.
eral in Russia and former president of
the zenfstvo congress, whose ability
and sincerity were admired and appre-
ciated even among his strongest op-
ponents. His death removes a re-
straining influence over the Moscow
students and may cause the closing of
the university. The council of profess
scrs, in the princes absence, was un.
able to prevent big meeting of stu.
dents in the university building, which
was largely attended by outsiders.
