H. A TAYLOR RESIGNS.
Assistant Secretary of Treasury Gets
 Through June 30.


 Washington, Feb 16.-Horace A. Tay- Tor, assistant secretary of the treasury, to-day rendered to the president his resignation, to take effect June 30, 1906, which was accepted. The president as- sured MT. Taylor that he fully appre- ciated the very efficient services" he had rendered since he became assistant secretary at the beginning of President McKinley's first term, and said that he had hoped he would remain In his place until the close of the present presiden- tial term in 1908. MT. Taylor, however, explained that for a long time he had had in mind European trip which would occupy a year, and possibly two wears. and had decided to sail during the coming summer
 Secretary Shaw accompanied MT. Taylor to the White House and both joined in recommending the appoint ment of John H. Edwards, of Ohio, as MT, Taylor's successor. The president promptly accepted the suggestion and announced that the appointment would be made. MT. Edwards for over two years has occupied the position of sec- retary to Secretary Shaw, and this po- sition is a recognition of his services, MT. Edwards was born in South Charleston, Ohio, and is thirty years old.

THE MOROCCAN CONFERENCE.
French Foreign office still Optimistic
 of Result.

Paris Feb 16-The foreign office con- tinues to take an optimistic view of the result of the conference at Algeciras, but this is coupled with the statement that France will not yield up on the essential question of the control of the police. This position appears to indi- cate that any German propositions bas- ed upon France relinquishing her claim for police power over Morocco are likely to meet with failure. However, there is no evidence of serious Franco Ger man tension. On the contrary, 1t is significant that dinner occurs at the German embassy here on Monday night at which Prince von Radolin, the Ger man ambassador, will entertain the three leading members of the French cabinet, Premier Rouvier, War Minister Etienne and Marine Minister Thomson, thus indicating the most agreeable out ward relations.
 The semi-off1cial Temps tonight sharply rejects the idea that ertain am- bassadors representing outside powers shall try to play the role of arbitrat- ors at Algerciras. The paper strongly approves of resistance to the German suggestions, and asks that the theater of this resistance be changed from pri- vate converse tions between the am- bassadors to open declarations before the conference.

RACE GAMBLING MADE FELONY
BiIl Introduced at Albany Extending
 Law to Track Enclosures.

Bill Introduced at Albany Extending
 Law to Track Enclosures.
 Albany, Feb. 16.-A bill to make gam bling on races felony within race track enclosures was introduced in the assembly to-day by Mir. Lansing, of Rensselaer, Senator Cassidy Is expect ed to introduce it in the senate on Mon day night
 A statement given out in connection with the bill says that, under the law as it now stands, the only legal action possible in connection with race gam bling is for the gambler who loses on 6 race course to sue the winner for the amount lost, while the same act of gambling outside a race-track enclos- ure Is felony punishable by imprison- ment and fine.
 After the introduction of the bill a story gained circulation that the meas- ure was favored by Governor Higgins. While the governor would not commit himself definitely on this point, he said:
 At the time the Percy-Gray bill was originally passed, I was a member of the senate, and was one of the four or five senators who opposed the measure believing at the time that it was not in spirit, if in fact, constitutional I have no hesitation in saying that from a moral standpoint it is impossible for me to understand how the act of man on one side of the fence can be legal which on the other side of the fence is a crime"

COUNT ACCEPTS SERVICE
WRIT SERVED ON CASTELLANE
 IN WIPES SUIT,

Will Not Contest the ActiOn--Decisive
 Steps After Renewed Efforts to Ef-
 feet Reconciliation Prove Fruit
 Iess--Countess to Retain Her Title
 Under Form of Procedure Adopted.
 Paris Feb. 16.-An urgent writ was served to-day upon Count Boni de Cas- tellane making him defendant in the separation proceedings of his wife, for merly Anna Gould. This decisive step was taken after renewed efforts to eff feet a reconciliation had proved fruit less. The count accepted service of the writ, even calling upon the countess lawyers to facilitate fixing Up place where the writ could be delivered
 The bill of complaint was filed at the same time. It follows very closely the countess prirna facie showing when she first asked the courts permission to take action against her husband. It mentions no names, but particularizes certain incidents in which the count is alleged to have participated and 1t asks for decree for what the French law calls a separation of bddy and prop erty," meaning complete material sep aration without dissolution of the bonds of nlatrimony. It is the coun- tess intention to secure decree at the earliest date possible. The count will not contest the action.
 The service upon Count Boni was made by Maitre Trichet In his capacity as representative of the countess at torneys. The latter include Edmund Kelly, who has charge of drawing up the bill and the financial arrangements, Coudert Brothers of New York and their local representatives, Nm Ca chard and Peartree, who have charge of the branches in which the Gould es- tate Is connected, and also Matre Cruppi, who, as the countess French lawyer, will lead her case before the court, The counts representatives are Natures Bonnet and Bertinot.
 The countess will retain her title un- der the form of procedure finally adopt ed; but If the decree Is extended after three years to divorce a vinculo 1t will have the effect of terminating her right to use the title of countess, The eldest of their three sons Boniface, in- herits the title of count without refer enee to the results of the case.

 Mitchell Refuses to Break Silence Re-
 garding the Pittsburg EmbrOglio--
 In Constant Communication With
 Leaders.
 New York, Feb 16.-The demands the anthracite miners are to present to the railroads and other companies operat- ing the coal mines of the anthracite district were considered to-day at an all-day session of the subcommittee of seven appointed by the miners yester- day at their conference with the coal presidents.
 When the subcommittee adjourned tonight no statement was made as to the details considered, nor was any in- timation given as to the time the min CTS will require to properly frame up their case. The subcommittee of sev- en appointed yesterday by the operators remained inactive to-day, awaiting the proposals the miners will have to offer. These two subcommittee will consider every detail of the problems affecting the anthracite industry before the full conference of miners and operators is again convened.
 John Mitchell president of the Mine Workers of America, would not break to-day the silence he has steadily main- tained as to the miners demands, nor would he consent to discuss the em- broglio in the Pittsburg district. The action of the miners in Pittsburg to- day in declaring the presidency and presidency of the district vacant brought no comment from MT. Mitchell for publication. He was in constant communication with the district lead CTS at Pittsburg, however, and declared that whatever action he might take in the fight would naturally be made pub lie at the convention, and not else where

 New York, Feb. 16.-James W. Alex ander, former president of the Equita- ble Life Assurance society, is seriously i'll in his home, No. 4 East SiTty-fourth street.
 His family is with him, and Dr. c. H. Chetwood is in attendance. Mir Alex ander underwent a surgical operation on Thursday afternoon, after being re- moved to his home from sanitarium in Deerfeld, Mass, on Wednesday aft ernoora.
 Members of the family are reticent as to the nature of the operation. It is said, however, that MT. Alexander has been suffering for some time with a chronic affection of the kidneys. An operation had been necessary for long time, but owing to MT Alexander's physical condition, resulting from his long illness, it was postponed as long as possible. The operation is said to have been successful and the physicians have hope of the patients recovery, de- spite his weakened condition and ad- vanced age.

MR. DoLAN OUT.
Miners of the Pittsburg District Vote
 Him Out of office.


 Pittsburg, Feb. 16.--After two weeks of uproar and disorder that on several occasions almost resulted in riots and finally an appeal to the courts of the commonwealth, the delegates to the convention of district No. 5, United Mine Workers of America, to-day suc- ceeded in assing resolution declaring vacant the offices of President Dolan and Vice President Bellingfam. The resolution was passed over the head of Dolan President John Mitchell of dhe United Mine Workers, who is in New York, was notified by telegraph of the step and, following out his declara- stion in a tetlegram previous to the pre- senting of the resolution, he Is expected ito telegraph the names of temporary officers of his selection so that they 7Inay be announced in the convention to- morrow.
 There was some anxiety as to the possibility of the delegates being in con tempt of court in busting the officers, but attorneys present explained that the injunction that was granted Dolan earlier in the week protects Dolan from violence but does not interfere with the transaction of business. Dolan upon the passing of the resolution again de- clared that he would not vacate the office unless by vote of the miners of the district by whom he was elected. To-morrow's session of the convention is expected to be turbulent one.

PHYSICIANS ARE STUDYING.
Remarkable Instance of the Resistance
 of Human Skull.

New York, Feb. 16.-The surgeons of the Harlem hospital are examining what they believe to be a remarkable instance of the resistance of the human skull to the impact of bullets. The pa tient is William Murphy horse siIoer, twenty-seven years old. He to-day fired two bullets from a revolver at his fore head with the muzzle of the weapon within six inches of its mark. He first fired one shot and fell to the floor of a saloon in which he was standing at the time. When the barkeeper ran to him and exclaimed:
 What are you doing; trying to kill yourself?" the horseshoer sat up and replied: 'Yes, but don't seem to have succeeded, so here goes for another shot"
 He then fired again, and when an am bulance had been summoned, waved as- sistance aside and walked unaided to the vehicle, declaring that the bullet ha not hurt him.
 At the hospital the first bullet was found in the flesh of Murphy's forehead and was somewhat flattened. Apparent ly it had not injured the bone. The oth- CT bullet had been defected after mak- ing long cut in the scalp.s

4 RECESSIONAL.
Germany Reminded of Prussia's stu-
 pendous Disaster in 1SO8.

London, Feb. 17.-The Times this morning publishes curious article by its military correspondent dealing with the reasons that led up to Prussia's stupendous military disaster in 1906, and drawing a parallel between the military conditions and spirit of the age in Prussian in 1906 and those of Great Britain in 1906. The correspond ent contends that hte analogy is re- markedly close and painfully true, and asks whether 1t is the will of the Brit ish people to carry on the analogy to its final and inevitable termination.
