DIVORCE SUIT MAY FOLLOW.
Countess de casteIIane Said to Have

Countess de casteIIane Said to Have
Separated From Husband.
Paris, Feb. 5.-The Countess de Cas-
tellane, formerly Miss Anna Gould,
after having her husband watched, is
to sue Count Boni for divorce.
The countess left the Castellane
mansion precipitately last week and
for five days her whereabouts were
unknown to her husband or any mem
ber Of his family and 1t was supposed
she had sailed for New York.
The facts seem to be that the for
mer Miss Gould left the mansion five
days ago after scene with Count
Boni, when she Indignantly accused
him.
During the last four days the
countess has been at hotel In the
Place Vendome. The count has not
been at home since the countess left
and he Is supposed to have been liv-
ing at his club.
Efforts to find the various persons
concerned indicate that they are keep
ing In seclusion. At the hotel in ques-
tion the management denies that the
countess is or has been there, but In
spite of this denial 1t can be said that
she actually was there.

HOPE TO PREVENT STRIKE.
Operators and Miners Take Optimistic

Operators and Miners Take Optimistic
View Of Situation.
indianapolis. Feb. 5.-The national
executive board OF the United Mine
Workers OF America went into session
behind locked doors during the day.
Prior to the meeting President Nit
chell said nothing but routine matters
were to be considered and he had
nothing to say.
According to the figures at the head
quarters OF the Mine Workers a gen.
eral strike April / would bring out of
the mines 100000 men If the nonun-
ion miners of West Virginia, number
ing 10000, could be induced to strike
with the union men Of the other dis
tricts.
The last of the operators and min
ers left for their homes during the
day. leaving only the members OF the
national executive board of the miners
here. There was a feeling of op-
timism among both operators and
miners when they left. Few ex-
pressed belief that there would be a
strike, though no one ventured to pre-
dict the means by which strike
would be averted.

EscH SUPPORTS MEASURE.
Wisconsin Congressman Speaks on
Rate Legislation.

Washington, Feb 5.-Less than q
score of members were In their places
when the house met at II o'clock to
continue discussion OF the Hepburn
railroad rate measure. The rate dis
cussion was led by Mr.. Clayton (Ark.).
Instead of being new thing, he de-
clared, the legislative regulation Of
interstate commerce to be as old as
the common laws. States have al
ways exercised this power to the full
extent. Congress, he said. has the
same plenary power over interstate
commerce and ought to exercise 1t In
restraint of the railroads and for the
benefit of the public. 1t Is brought
about by the unjust determinations of
the railroads through rebates and ter
minal charges.
Mr.. Esch (Wis.) said there were
five ages In railroading In America
the age of construction, the age OF
competition, the age OF combination,
the age of government control "and
there Is the fifth, the age OF govern
ment ownership-from which God
save u.s."
Mr.. Esch took issue with Mr.. Nc
Call, saying that the president had In
dulged in q non seQuitur In his rate
legislation recommendations That
the recommendations we're justified by
conditions he showed by reviews of
high rates, rebates and overcapitaliza-
tion OF railroads. The total Of $12.-
000,O0O,OOO capitalization he declared
to be half fictitious.
An interesting analysis of business
of the four great express companies
was made by Mr.. Esch. who main
tanned the bill gave the commission
authority over this instrumentality OF
transportation. The express COM
panies, he said, carried freight and
charged three or four times higher
rates than freight. The roads. through
their contracts with these companies,
get from 40 to 60 per cent more for
the transportation Of express freight
than when sent as freight.

REPRlMAND MADE PUBLIC.
Secretary Eonaparte's Letter to Com
mander Young.


Washington. Feb. 5.--Although not
sentenced to a public" reprimand
there was during the day made public
the reprimand addressed by Secretary
BonRparte to Commander Lucien
Young, who was in command OF the
sion OF her boilers last summer Com
mander Young was tried by courtmar-
tial and convicted of remissness Of
duty In that he failed to sign the
smooth steam log of the Bennington.
After quoting that portion of the
navy regulations outlining the duties
Of q commanding officer the secretary
says:
These duties include the obliga-
tions Of good example to all subject
to him In authority; the responsible
ties include share in the blame in
Cured by any among the latter who
may be led to think lightly of their
own duties because they seem to
think lightly of him.
In your case, sir, there was the
greater reason why you should have
been careful to comply in letter and
spirit with every provision of the reg
ulattOns, because your brilliant serv-
ices In the past and your merited repu-
tation for seamanship and gallantry
would surely render failure on your
part to do all that an officer should
do the more subversive of true prin-
ciples Of discipline among younger
members Of your profession.
"A bad example on the part OF one
of your previous record is exception
ally Injurious to the vital interests OF
the service and 1t Is therefore cause of
profound regret to the department
that remissness in efficient duty on
your part should have been thus judic-
tally established"

iSTHMiAN COMMISSIONS RECON-
MENDATIoN SUBMITTED TO
SECRETARY TAFT.
PAPERS NOW GO TO THE PRESIDENT
REPORT DiSAGREES WITH THE
MAJORITY OF THE BOARD
OF ENGINEERS.

Washington, Feb. 5.--The report of
the isthmian canal commission, record
ing its decision in favor of an eighty
flve-foot level lock canal was submit
ted to Secretary Taft during the day.
The report Is accompanied by the re-
port Of the board of engineers, the
majority of whom declared for sea
level canal. 1t will now be for Secre-
tary Taft to express his own views
upon the great project In an endorse
ment when transmitting the papers to
the president.
It appears that Rear Admiral Endi-
eott, the naval member of the commits
sion, was the only one who differed
with the majority and favored a sea
level canal as recommended by the
majority OF the board Of consulting
engineers.

STOPS GRAIN SHIPMENTS.
New German Tariff Will BE in Effect
March /.

MarCh ].
New York, Feb. 5.-The rate on
heavy grain from New York to Ham
burg by direct steamer has been cut
from 171s cents to 121a cents for the
second half of February loading. With
out inducing the engagement Of q
single bushel.
Owing to the new German tariff,
which goes into effect March ! and
which imposes the maximum duties
on American grain imported into that
country, the steamers sailing from
New York for German ports up to the
middle of February, the brokers say,
carry large amount of grain.
They are inclined, however, to think
that very little of our grain will find
Its way to Germany during the few
succeeding weeks.
