Friction Between American
Officials in London Over
Social Matters.

Interesting official gossip is being
brought back to Washington by persons
that have been in Europe this season
tending to CONFIRM the reports that all Is
not wei In London between Ambassador
wbitela,g Reid and Consul General
Robert j. Wynre. former Postmaster
General. Last spring, interesting stories
cropped out concerning friction between
the ambassador and the consul general
II was intimated that this friction had
its origin in the desire of the Reds 10
be more exclusive socially than was
liked by the Wynnes and through failure
OF the Relds to give the social attention
to the consul general and his family
that the latter thought was their due
1t was said for a time that the friction
might result in some one else filling Mr..
Wynne's post.
Now, the stories OF friction are being
revived with the return flow OF the toe
of American travel. Nothing Is said
more definitely as TO the cause OF the
friction alleged 20 exist. but that there
is friction is asserted in quarters entire
~ reliable. Mr. Wynne has no use for
the ambassador and is understood to
have given his opinion Of the embassy
pretty plainly to some OF the Americans
who visited him. IT Is believed the en-
bassy reciprocates the sentiment. but
the ambassador being less blunt than
the consul general. there is less plain
speaking on The embassy side.
Shift Would Not Be Surprise.
The situation is not a pleasant one and
these would be no great surprise felt
here II shift were made by the admin
istration that would terminate the
strain.
Some time ago. there was a rumor
that M Reid might leave the service,
but nothing has been heard OF this sort
lately. His friends give him credit for
doing some excellent diplomatic work in

Complaint Against Embassies.
In this correction. II may be said that
returning Americans In many cases
show a disposition TO complain OF the
, treatment they get st the hands Of
many Of the embassies and legations
abroad There is much complaint that
the American diplomat abroad IS too
prone to forget his democracy and to
show a distasteful yearning toward
courts and kings and a regrettabIe ten
dency to turn the cold shoulder toward
Bin Jones and John Smith. whom he
used 20 be real sOciable with back IN

ing exceptions Is admitted and II is
true in some cases that the wealthlest

LANDING IN TOLLS.
Was Arrested Once Before on Sus-
 picion of Murder.

DlClOH Ol MuIuCI. Raffele Landino was arrested last evening charged with assaulting Lorenz Aguinaldo last summer with intent to murder him. The arrest took place in New Haven on State street by Detective Colesanto, who was given a quiet tip that the man was in that city. Landino was in the city court to-day and was held in bail of $5,000. He is wanted in Hartford and various other places for crimes of assault, criminal as suit and intent to kill. The person whom he is charged with having murderOus designs upon is Lorenz AquilanO who ran a boarding house in the old Earle house on Bank street last summer.
 When the dead body of an Italian was found in the swamp near the Middlebury road last summer Landino was arrested on general principles and held for some days. Then it developed that while every thing pointed directly to him as the guilty person there was insufficient evidence against him and he was re- leased.
 On the morning of July IS last Landino went to Aquilano'S boarding house and had some words with Aquilano about board bill. It was said they became very angry. An hour or so later LandinO saw Aquil- ano passing through the railroad yards and jabbed him in the back with his knife half a dozen times. Sixteen stitches were necessary to close the wound inflicted by Landino's knife

IT IS ABSOLUTELY
WITHOUT RESULT
HAGUE PEACE CONFERENCE Is A
GIGANTIC FAILURE.
THE YANKEES ARE BLAMED.
Their Lack of Accord with Latin-Amer-
lean Countries is Said to be One
of the Causes of Failure-Con-
ference Cost $1,3oo,ooo.

The Hague. = After having been
in session over three months, and
with adjournment probably month
in the distance, it is recognized
generally, even by the most optimistic
in the peace movement, that the Sec
ond international peace conference
has been and will be at it's conclusion
barren of results leading to perma-
nent measures of benefit to the peace
of the world.
Even the proposition for future
meeting of the conference, which was
unanimously adopted on Saturday. has
been so altered as to suppress its most
important part, namely the periodicity
of the meetings, merely providing for
the calling of third conference, but
establishing nothing with regard to
convening future conferences.
The prevailing opinion as expressed
by one of the leading delegates is that
the absence of results in the confer
ence on the great questions was due
to the lack of preparation by all tho
countries represented. This, he said,
was especially striking in the case OF
the American delegation, which was
supposed to have come here in COM
plete accord with the Latin-American
countries. This accord, however,
neither existed nor has it been reach
ed during the conference.
Indeed, what is to be dreaded, he
declared, is that the chief result of the
conference will be a growing feeling
of diffidence on the part of the South
Americans toward Washington as,
rightly or wrongly, they accuse the
United States of having neglected
them and of caring only for working
in accord with Great Britain and Ger
many, thinking that union with
these great powers would be sufficient
to carry out any project, while the
facts proved to the contrary, as in the
case of the permanent court of arbi-
tration, which represents victory for
Brazil over the compact formed by
America, Great Britain and Germany.
Thus far the only project which
does not regulate war, but tries to
prevent it, and which was passed by
the narrowest of margins, was that
concerning the forcible collection of
ccntractual debts.
II is estimated that the conference
has cost $1,000 900.

A DARING DASH FOR FREEDOM.
Two Prisoners Escape from the coun
ty Jail at Chicago.

Chicago, Ill.-After having locked
a Jail guard and a "trusty" in a
cell, two prisoners on Sunday climbed
through a window on the fourth floor
of the county jail in the heart of the
city and escaped in plain view of a
number of persons who stood in Cell
nos street for half an hour, watching
them saw two iron bars, thinking the
men were workmen. A third prisoner
crawled through the window, but the
on-lookers, realizing at last what was
going on, shouted an alarm and he re-
turned. Within few minutes the po-
lice were on the trail of the jail
breakers, but their capture has not
been reported.
While the prisoners on the fourth
tier of cells were in the exercise room,
one of the men asked the guard, Mich
ael Bloomberg, to unlock his cell that
he might get a pack of playing cards.
John Scott, "trusty," just then
handed Bloomberg a note. While
reading the note at the open cell door,
both Scott and the guard were forced
into the cell and locked in by prison.
ers who rushed from the exercise
room. Using saws that had been
smuggled to them, the prisoners
sawed two iron bars from a window
and two men descended by clinging to
bars on the windows below, finally
dropping 15 feet to the street.
Meantime the other prisoners sang
and shouted to prevent the guard from
giving the alarm. The guard also was
warned by the "trusty" to make no
outcry on penalty of death, and he re-
mained in the cell an hour before he
was released. AS the third man start
ed out of the window he saw that the
trick was discovered outside the Jail
and he turned back.

ARcHRoLp DENIES THE STORY
A Standard Oil Official Says Talk of
Reorganizing Has No Foundation.

New York City.-John d. Arch
bold vice president of the Standard
Oil Co., was prompt in issuing an au-
thoritative denial Monday of a state
ment, made earlier in the day on ap-
parently creditable authority, that the
Standard Oil Co. contemplated re-
organization of it's affairs. The origi-
nal statement was called out by an in
quiry concerning conference which
1t had been reported was to be held
at the home of Fl. Fl. Rogers.
The ways and means by which the
Tidewater Pipe Company of Pennsyl-
vania came under virtual control of
the Standard Oil Co. were unfolded
Monday in the governments suit
against the oil combine. The affairs
of the Tidewater Co. were disclosed
by the testimony of Robert Benson,
president of the company, and from a
mass of records and contracts.
The Standard was shown to own at
present 81 per cent. of the Tidewater
stock and, by an agreement entered
into in 1888 between the two compa-
MES, the oil business was divided in
such proportion that the Tidewater
did 11s per cent. and the Standard
881a per cent. President Benson tes-
titled that since the agreement in 1883
the business of neither the Tidewater
Pipe Co. nor the present company, the
Tidewater Oil Co., had materially in
creased.
Mr.. Benson gave testimony to show
that, under existing contracts with
the Standard, of 95 per cent. of oil re
fined by the Tidewater company n
per cent was sold to the Standard
and the remaining 20 per cent. was
sold In territory in which the Stand
ard WAS not Interested.

NULLIFIES A new RATE LAW
A FEDERAL JUDGE ISSUES A
SWEEPING INJUNCTION.
Take No Steps to Enforce Law
Reducing Railway Rates.

st. Paul, MINI. Judge Loch-
rem, of the United States court,
on Monday issued an Injunction which
absolutely ties up the states COM
modify rate law pending final decree
In the case.
The order is sweeping in its terms,
taking in not only the defendants at
bar, including the attorney general
and shippers who were made parties
to the actions, but all other persons
as well.
This means that, even though the
county attorneys throughout the state,
whose duty it is to institute and prose-
cute criminal actions under the law,
were not made parties defendant in
the suits instituted by the railroads
through their stockholders, yet the
county attorneys and everybody else
are warned to keep their hands off
the railroads while Judge Lochren's
order is in effect.
Not only is everybody enjoined
from taking or instituting or causing
or advising to be instituted any ac-
tion, suit, stop or proceeding for the
everybody is enjoined from demand
ing that any of the rates contained in
the act be given to them"
1t is reported that the state officials
are planning to violate the injunction
in such manner that habeas corpus
proceedings will have to be instituted,
in which event the case will at once
be appealed to the United States SUI
preme court, and the whole matter de-
termined there instead OF going
through the usual routine, lasting
probably three wears.

TOAD ALIVE 5000 YEARS OLD.
Dug Out Of Solid Cement Bed by Aus-
trallan Miner.

A miner has sent to the geological
gardens, Perth, Australia, live toad
which he dug out of strata of hard
cement while sinking shaft with ex-
plosives. 1t is believed that the crea-
ture has been entombed for centuries.
When released from confinement
the toad was quite inanimate. It's
eyes, which were transparent, with,
no pupil, gradually became normal,
and 1t is now in excellent health.
The chamber in which 1t was con-
fined was perfectly smooth, and there,
was no room for movement. The toad
is now being examined by geologists.
The secretary of the geological gar
dens cites an instance of a toad be-
ing found in "a bed of magnesium
limestone 25 feet under the earth.
The age of the toad was believed to,
be 5000 years. This creature was.
presented to the Hartlepool museum.
1T is well known" he says, that
toads at the present day bury them.
selves in mud when the water in
which they have been living dries up,
and so remain there till the next
rams come.
IF a drought sets in, and no rain
comes to that spot, there will be no
change in the condition of the toad,
and therefore nothing to bring him to
state of animation, and ST he may
continue for all time, until some ono
comes along with plug of gelignite
to unearth him.
This seems very hard to believe.
but still we have the fact that the
toads are there, alive, and SO must
nave got there somehow. In some
cases they have been found at great
depths under the surface imbedded in
rock. as in the present instance.
THE toads seem to be in state
of suspended animation, and do not
lose weight when in that condition"

bleak southern shore of Lake SUI
