FRENCH DELEGATES PLEASED.

ing on behalf OF French delegates to tho
International railway congress, expressed
deep regret over rumor that his country
men were displeased by the Injection OF a
discussion of the railroad rate question in
the social functions attendent upon the
congress. He has taken occasion to confer
with all of the delegates from France and
has learned that the discussion between
Secretary Taft and Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish,
president of the Illinois Central railroad,
evoked their keen interest They were i'm
pressed particularly by the freedom with
which questions of this character are dis
cussed in America.
THE delegates from France were en-
chanted with their reception In this country
and with every thing American. said the
ambassador. That was shown by the BAN
quet given by the French delegates 10 their
American colleagues. At the banquet Mr..
Marneiouls. former minister of public
works in France and a personal friend or
President Loubet. voiced the unqualified
gratitude of the delegates to the Ameri-
cans. The conclusion OF his speech was: In
order the better to show the sign OF har-
mony found in this friendly international
gathering. ask you to join me in the toast
which / propose to our dear and venerated

gestion of the lungs. the result of a Sc
we're cold contracted in New York city
about a month ago and aggravated by the
terrible strain which he has undergone in
recent months. 1t became necessary to
call in a physician about II o'clock last
night when the cold settled In the chest
and for several hours his condition was
serious. He Is better this morning. but
his wife and children are still worried over
his illness.
Between fits of coughing. Mr.. Patterson
told a Star reporter this afternoon that his
daughter Nan would make no plans for
the future, either to accept any of the fat
tering offers made to her by theatrical man
ayers or to do anything else but remain at
home, for at least several weeks to come.
1T is true" he said. {" that Mamie has
received many offers to go upon the stage
at very high salaries, both directly to her
self and through her lawyers and myself,
but she will not consider any of them
now"
He said one offer of $4,000 down and
$50 a week for about seven weeks. which
would necessitate only a ten minute ap-
pearance, had been refused at least for
the present The highest offer of money
per week. he said, has been 5000. for a
limited time.
Miss Patterson spent most of this morn
ing out of the house taking an airing. Her
parents fear the ordeal of the past year,
which she has stood so well thus far will
ultimately have its effect on her system,
and that. therefore, she should be very
careful of her health. The sudden change
to an active life after twelve months of en-
forced inactivity is looked upon as dan
gerous.
Mrs Patterson and the daughters are
taking the greatest of care of their father
and hope that his Illness will not be Of long
duration. Every effort is being made to
keep him as quiet as possible.
