FRANCE AN D
CASTRO AGAIN
Venezuelan Charged dAffaires
Given Passport at Paris
Will Not InIefere.

PARIS, Jan. 10. ~ Official conirma-
ton Of N%enezuela'S unceremoniOus
treatment Of NJ. Taigny, the retiring
French charge d'affaires at Caracas,
has reached the foreign office.
The government Immediately decid-
ed TO adopt the most energetic meas
uTes To obtain satisfaction. 1t is UNI
derstood that a naval demonstration is
under preparation, the division of the
French warships recently assembled in
the vicinity of Venezuelan waters be-
ing utilized for hat purpose.
As a first act NJ. Marlborough,
the Venezuelan charge d'affaires here,
received an instant order to leave
French territory. thus placing him per
~sonally in an awkward position, owing
to his private commercial relations
with France. and it is also believed
that he retains his French citizenship,
which would make him liable to mill
tary service under the conscription
law.
NJ. Marlborough IA elected preci-
lately from French territory and ac-
companied to the Belgium frontier by
the commissary of police, who was re-
sponsible for his security. NJ. Man
bourquet is at Liege, Belgium.
1t is said that NJ. Taigny, after
boarding the steamer Martinique with
out a permit from the port authorities
at La Guayra, as was his privileged
custom, was prevented by force from
returning to the shore on the pretext
that he had no sanitary certificate. He
was then ordered to leave Venezuela
at once.
Such an act could not remain unchas-
tised. and France. the diplomat added,
will have the support of the whole
world in demanding and obtaining
proper satisfaction even should armed
Intervention prove necessary.
France. it was further pointed out,
has exhibited wonderful patience, but
is now driven to extremities.
1t is not likely that the United States
will interfere with any course of action
the French government may care to
take. The administration quite agrees
with the French view that NJ. Taigny
mas been treated ~outrageously by the
Venezuelan government. and if France
wants to chastise President Castro the
United States will not stand in the
way.
In the meantime the United States
will push the matters pending between
this country and Venezuela rapidly.
In case the French feet is ordered to
lombard or blockade the ports of Nene-
zuela the United States will have a
large naval force close by to protect
been issued to this effect.

GIFT TO THE KAISER
GERMAN AMERICANsTo REMEM-
Der HIS SILVER WEDDING.
Elaborate and Costly Punch Bowl
MADE Entirely of Materials from
Every Part of America, Now
Being Manufactured.

On February q. 1906. the emperor
and empress of Germany will have
been married just % years. and in hon
or OF this silver wedding anniversary,
the associated Germans of America will
present their fluctuations in the form
of an unusually interesting punch bowl
fashioned in every particular from
American materials - gold. silver
bronze. ivory, stone anu prehistoric
woods from all parts of North Ameri.
ca. 1t will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
In this gift the Krieger Verband of
America wish to express to His Majesty
Wilhelm IL. their appreciation of his
friendship for their adopted country,
which he SO plainly has shown by pre-
senting to il a bronze statue of his
grandfather, Frederick the Great, erect
ed recently in Washington.
The competition for an appropriate
design for this purpose was extended to
all of the leading men of the craft
throughout the country, and many were
the responses in the form of excellent
ideas and designs. The one selected
as best fitting the occasion and convey.
ing the broadcast tribute from all Amer
lea is the work Of Mr.. Alfred LEM, a
New York sculptor.
The theme which Mr.. LEM has
chosen for his design is entirely within
the realm of the early peoples of Amer
ica-from Aztec to Esquimaux, and is
consistent with the purpose to which
it is applied. The ideal treatment
of aboriginal ornament offers an inter-
esting argument in favor of the very
"oldness' rather than the "newness" OF
a country thus far not credited with
the possession of any distinct charac-
ter Of ornament "all it's own"
1t is the opinion of Mr.. LEM that
ultimately a character of ornament
recognized as American must be a
blending of the Torrid, Temperate and
Arctic Indian, containing as it does a
wealth of beauty and art drawn direct
ly from nature and preserved by her.
This punch bowl, unlike most others.
is to rest upon a pedestal which raises
it four and one-half feet from the floor.
1t has a circular base of matched
woods of historic value contributed
from every state and territory. Upon
this is a circular stylobate of silver
fashioned in imitation of hewn rock
Aztec hieroglyphics of peacetreaty SYM
bols. Similarly decorated ornaments
environ the three of a convace-
faced triangular base of veined black
onyx, at the upper corners of which
are bronze buffalo heads.
Upon this base rises a triangular
shaft of Mexican onyx, at the angles of

TRAVELLED IN AUTOMOBILE

Paris, Feb. 5.-Marco, a Rouma-
MAN adventurer, who was arrested
recently for having robbed several
women, has admitted to the two ex-
amining magistrates who are dealing
with his case, nearly all the charges
against him. The Roumanian pass
ed as "Sir Charles Walter, an officer
of the English Navy" as "Lord Lei
cester,' and as "Mr. Pierpont Nor
gam" He is a man of good educa-
ton and address, and a civil engineer
by profession.
On coming to Paris last year he
took rooms in a first class hotel, and
went about in a magnificent motor
car. His first victim was Mile. Ma
thony, described as a lyric artist,
who was overjoyed to have made the
acquaintance of an English officer, as
she supposed Marco to be.
The so-called Sir Charles Walter
greatly admired the lyric artist s
bracelets and ear rings, and asked
her to lend them to him, as he want
ed to get his jeweler to copy the
precious ornaments, the value of
which the owner estimates at 10000
francs.
Mile. Mathony did as she was re-
quested, and the sham English officer
disappeared with her jewels. She
met him some time after in a Mont
martre resort, and had him arrested
He admitted to the judge that he
pawned the jewelry. and was about
to be tried on this charge only when
other persons who had been deceived
and robbed by the man came for
| ward.
One is described as a young Eng.
lishwoman and the other as a Rus.
sian Princess. To the Englishwomar
Marco represented himself to be the
/ Due de Monticello. She met hin
outside a theatre last November
and took him to her residence neal
the Trocadero. Next day he accom-
panied her to a fashionable dress
makers and as she was trying OF
clothes, he stole her purse, contain
ing large sum of money, and fled.
The Russian Princess he met in {

fore he sends wireless underground
telegraph message to Europe. He
will spend $4,000 in making this ex-
pertinent.
The priest says that shaft 5000
feet deep will be sunk here and a
similar one in Europe. Each shaft
will be walled with concrete to guard
it from dampness and the wires run
ming from the receiving and dis
patching point, 5000 feet beneath
the surface will be incased in iron
or steel tubing.
Considerable power will be requir-
ed and the same system in use with
the aerial wireless will be used. This
system replaces the Morse, used by
other wireless systems, with musical
tones, each indicating a letter of the
| alphabet in the code word or group
of words. In this manner messages
can be sent from eight to ten times
faster than by the Morse system.
Father Murgas worked seventeen
years to perfect this aerial telegraph,
now in use between this city and
Scranton, and he has given several
years of study to his underground
theory. His experiments have been
conducted so far between points only
few miles apart, and with shallow
holes and small power. He has
completed three hundred foot shaft
here and is sinking one in Scranton
to similar depth, and will use these
in developing the apparatus he needs
for the underground messages.
