PRELIMINARY STEPS TAKEN
Preparing for Inquiry Into Alleged
 Restraints by Railroads.

Washington, Marco 12.-The inter- state commerce commission has taken preliminary steps toward compliance with the Tillman-G Gillespie resolution adopted by congress directing the com mission to make an inquiry into alleged restraints of certain railroads in the handling of coal and oil. The first step taken was the selection of special coun- sel in the investigations and to-day the commission announced that Edward B. Whitney of New York and William A. Glasgow, jr., of Philadelphia, had been retained as such counsel
 ical.
 MT. Whitney is Yale graduate and a classmate of Secretary Taft, and has been member of the New York State bar since 1888. He was assistant attor- ney-geperal of the United States under Attorneys General Olney, Harmon and McKenna from 1893 to 1897, and has taken part in the argument in the su- preme court in cases coming under the interstate commerce law, as well as the income tax and other cases.
 MT. Glasgow has been counsel for the commission in cases in the supreme court
 Both the attorneys selected for the conduct of the inquiry were in confer ence to-day with Chairman Knapp, of the commission.

FURTHER DELAY IN
 THE CASTELLANE CASE
CHANGE IN FORM OF PROCEED INGS IN COUNTESS, SUIT
 FOR SEPARATION.

Result of Consultations Between the
 Lawyers Upon the Financial Features and Other Final Details of the Pro-
 cedure-New Bill of Complaint May | be Filled and an Absolute Divorce | Aslxed--More Prompt Adjustment of Various Questions Sought. 1 Paris, March 12.-The preliminary hearing of the separation proceedings instituted by the Countess Boni de Cas- tellane 4ormerly, Anna GouldD against her husband, Count Boni, which was set for March 14 will probably be post poned.
 The lawyers representing the various
 branches of the case have been in con- sultation upon the financial features ln- volved and other final details of the | procedure. This has resulted in de- termination to change the form of the proceedings. Although authoritative linformation is withheld for the present, there is reason to believe that the
 change contemplates the countess ask | 4iiSo lOL cllt cDoOlulO QlNOlNG lllbLCdQ Ol eb separation, which would necessitate postponement of the hearing, as the change would require filing new bill of complaint, as. the facts recited in the | former writ would not suffice for the
 changed procedure.
 Moreover, the change will permit of
 a more prompt final adjustment of all
 the legal and financial branches than
 the indefinite three-years' stage under a separation. The new papers have not yet been filed but are expected to be ready in day or two. The proposed change appears to be the result of the
 conclusion of all concerned that re- conciliation between the countess and
 the count is impossible during the three years in which the legal separation would be operative.
 It is the intention of the lawyers on
 both sides to avoid public hearings of
 the case and to secure a decree without contest.

 New York, MaJv"'' 12.-The reported Illness of Chatncey M. Depew, who has not been in his seat in the senate chamber at Washington for the past two weeks, is causing some concern among his friends in this city, although the rumor that his condition is serious was absolutely denied here tonight by Charles c. Paulding, nephew.
 T know that Senator Depew is not seriously ill.," he said, land reports to the contrary are absolutely untrue. He has never contemplated going to a san. itarium for recuperation. On the ad- vice of his physician the senator has left the capital for brief rest, He will be back in Washington in week or ten days. He is with friends and the only reason for.not saying where he is staying is to secure him against intru- sion and afford him the rest he needs.
 Miss Anna Depew Paulding, the sen- ator's niece, is with him. Mrs Depew is in Paris.
