by the cordiality OF her reception, Mrs

The Waggaman art gallery I'm his lux

the show places Of the country In 1t
were many old masters, yet all these
articles went for a song. There is only
one paliating thing in the whole dis
graceful business. Waggaman died a
poor man. He did not loot to keep
himself. He had not one penny to call
his own when he died. He was kind
hearted man. he did a great deal Of
philanthropic and charitable work, and
1t Is believed that it was his love of ap-
probation which led him to make such
disastrous financial calculations. He al
ways believed that his real estate hold
ings would appreciate. and that ne
would be able to come through all right
and nobody lose. About 1000 people
who would have said masses for his
soul three years ago will not say them
now.

THESE CHINESE
 CANNOT COMPLAIN
That They Have Not Been Properly
 Treated.

San Francisco, Jan. 12.-The steam Orient, having on board the imperial Chinese commissioners Yuan Fang and
 Tai Hung Tseu, with their subordin- ates and suites, sixty two persons in all. The steamer was delayed by ad- verse weather and did not arrive un- til late but the welcome of the dis
 tinguished visitors was fully as cordial as had been anticipated. They have
 crossed the Pacific to study the poli- tical and social institutions of the
 United States and Europe and this
 government has received them in a
 most kindly spirit.
 Heading the reception committee
 was Prof. w. J. Jenks of Cornell uni versity, who came here as the per sonaI representative of President
 Roosevelt. With him were associated 1 General Sumner and staff, Adjutant General Lauck, representing Governor
 Pardee, General Funston and staff, the Chinese consul, vice consul and secre- taries, leading merchants and other prominent citizens. The Chinese of ficials were greeted and after the steamer had passed the quarantine
 station were landed and escorted to the St. Francis hotel, where they will re- main during their sojourn in this city, the duration of which is indefinite. They will be given q banquet by the Chinese consul and vice consul tomor- row night and during their visit will probably meet representatives of the
 commercial organizations of the city at
 reception on the floor of the Mer- chants exchange.
 Both of the commissioners who are appointed directly by the emperor,

VAN DIVERS VICTORY
 HIS CONSTRUCTION
On Certain Happenings in the New
 York Life.

St. Louis. Jan. 12.-After a lengthy conference with F. w. Lehman, spe- cial counsel retained by the Missouri insurance department State Superin- tendent of Insurance W.,D. Van Diver today said that his suit to oust the New York Life company from doing business in Missouri probably would be rescinded as a result of the retire ment of President Mccall and the re- storation of the $235, ,OOO given to At torney Hamilton for legal services.
 "The New Yorlk Life" said Mir Van Diver, ''has conceded the justice of the position taken by my department. Its trustees at a recent meeting carried out practically all requirements set forth in my letter to them some time ago.
 Recently the company instituted in- junction proceedings in the federal court to restrain me from revoking its charters. That proceeding vii! also be withdrawn as a matter of course"

THE CRISIS APPROACHING.

Paris, Jan. 12-The Venezuelan question, although subOrdinated in public opinion to the Moroccan confer ence, is occupying the serious atten- tipn of the foreign office, but the strictest discretion is observed in this connection. A highly placed diplomat, however, declared today that it might be considered certain that the moment was rapidly approaching when a crisis would occur in Venezuela.
 He was unable to state the exact character which events would assume, but asserted that a perfect under standing had always existed between France and the United States. The two governments were in absolute ac- cord on the question at issue. France $ line of conduct being based on that of the United States. France was mere ly desirous of securing perfect respect for her rights.
 Though M. Mabourguet, the Vene- received his passports, diplomatic re- lations between France and Venezuela are considered to have been broken off There is no question for the present of naval demonstration, but there is no doubt that the French government in- tends to have the fullest recognition and respect for it's rights. An official not issued tonight says that although an ultimatum has not yet been sent to Venezuela, France can not tolerate much longer President Castro's refusal to aceede to the French demands with out considering the advisability of talk ing stronger means to enforce them.

CHARGES LODGED
 AGAINST RAYNOLDS
The Renomination of Secretary of
 New Mexico Held Up.

Washington, D. C., Jan. Exchanges against James w. Reynolds, renomin- ated by the president as secretary for New Mexico, were considered by the senate committee on territories today and the confirmation will be held up until they can be investigated. He is charged with being an offensive parti- san, which did not have any effect on the committee. Former Delegate Ro- dey charged him with bulldozing delegates of the last territorial con- vention in order to accomplish the de- feat of Rodey for re-nominatiOn.
 The serious charges against Ray holds are that when acting as gover- nor he pardoned notorious criminals for political effect; that he had man. ipuiated his office so as to secure large fees, and Salso that he and former Governor Otero had by some unfair means procured lands eight miles wide on either side of an important stream which they use for a sheep ranch.
 The statehood fight enters into the matter to some extent and Reynolds is opposed by the faction, which is seek ing joint statehood with Arizona.
