VENEZUELAN REPRESENTATIVE
AT PARIS EXPELLED FROM
FRENCH TERRITORY.
ENERGETIC MEASURES WILL FOLLOW
NAVAL DEMONSTRATION AGREED
ON AS BEST MEANS OF GET
TING SATISFACTION.

Paris, Jan. 19.-M. Maubourguet,
the charge d'affaires of Venezuela
mere, has received the official an
nouncement, Of his expulsion from
French territory. The. notification
was conveyed to him by M. Gouvt,
the chief secretary of Premier Rou-
yier, and special commissiary OF
police, M. Hennion. The charge
d'affaires showed considerable emo
tion, but accepted the governments
decision. He left Paris several hours
later for Liege, Belgium, accompanied
by the special commissiary OF police,
who is responsible for his security to
the frontier.
The action of the French govern
ment with reference to Venezuela has
not yet been finally decided. NJ. Rou-
vier is calling the cabinet council to
sether to consider the steps to be
taken. In ministerial circles it is be-
lieved that the incident of M. Taigny's
expulsion loses some Of it's character
of gravity as official notification was
given to President Castro few days
before by the American minister, Mr..
Russell, that diplomatic relations be-
tween France and Venezuela had
ceased to exist. Therefore M. Taigny
was not expelled as the representative
Of France, but as a simple French
citizen. Meanwhile telegram from
Lorient, the French war port in Brit
tany, announces that the cruisers
Jean Bart and Chasseloup-Laubata are
preparing to join the French division
cruising in the vicinity of Venezuelan
waters.

QUESTION OF IMMUNITY UP.
Trial Of Beef Trust Cases Begins at
Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-The trial of the
"beef trust" cases began during the
day, the first session of the court be-
ing occupied by the opening state
tments of the attorneys, who explained
to the jury that in the case on trial
the packers were not arraigned, but
that it was the government which is in
reality the defendant. The packers
say that because of the promise of
immunity, which they assert was
given them by Commissioner of Cor
Lorations Garfield, the government
should not push the charges against
the packers. The government asserts
that no promise of immunity was
made and the present case is to deter
mine the facts in the case and the
actual trial of the packers will depend
upon the issue in the present hearing.

No LIABILTY.-Last summer there
was tried in Chicago breach of prom
ise suit that awakened much interest
in legal circles by reason of the ingen-
ious means taken by counsel for the de-
fendant to secure a verdict for his
client, says Harper's Weekly.
Counsel for the plaintiff had begun to
read what was alleged to be the pro-
posal Of marriage on the part OF the de-
fendant. This so-called proposal ap-
peared on a telegraph blank. Turning
to the jury, counsel began with my
darling Marie"
At this juncture counsel for the de-
fendant interrupted his colleague at the
bar: May 1t please the court. this
document. being partly printed and
partly written, cannot, by the rules of
evidence, be offered In part by plaintin.
Everything on the blank must be read"
Notwithstanding the protests OF
counsel for the plaintiff that the printed
matter had no relevancy with the case
the fact being that the proposal was
written on a telegraph blank by acci-
dent-the ruling Of the court was that
everything on the blank must be read.
Accordingly the reluctant counsel for
plaintiff was forced to read the follow
ing:
There shall be no liability on ac-
count Of this message unless the same
shall be repeated, and then only on
condition that the claim shall be made
within thirty days in writings" Then
after the signature followed. Yours
devotedly, Harry" together with this
N. B.: Read carefully the conditions
at the top"
To the great delight Of counsel for
the defendant the jury returned ver-
dict in his favor within twenty min
utes.
