Perhaps we can't expect everything -alsruaSs, but it is rather painful to read that the French automobile makers have combined in the establishment of a machine-tool factory, for which they have subscribed $1,15S,OOO, and will endeavor to supply themselves with the machines which they have hereto fore imported from Great Britain, the United States and Germany. This will create the most dangerous com petition that the machine tool makers of America have ever been called to meet in France" says Consul-General Mason.

General Daniel Wassiljiwitch Drats- chewski, the new military governor of St. Petersburg, is, according to a Mos COW paper, forty-nine years old. He was born of humble parents and is recognized as fine specimen of the Russian self-made man. He attracted the attention of his superiors for the first time in the Russo-Turkish war by his exhibitions of bravery. In recogni- ton of his services he was appointed Imperial director of all the railroads in Finland, and was vested with "ex- traordinary powers" His record in the peaceful vocation was as good as in time of war, and he was rewarded by the appointment as military governor of Rostow, from which post he was called to the imperial capital when Launitz was assassinated.

GOING TO PARIS
Another Big Shipment Sent 10
 Hep Bank 0i'France Recu- perate Its Gold Reserve.

New York, July 8.-The export of gold to France which has been in progress since early in May was con- tinued to-day by the engagement by Lazard Freres of $1,000,000 for ship ment to Paris tomorrow. This ex- portation of gold is attributed by exchange exports to the attempt of the bank of France to recuperate its gold reserve which has been lessened by the withdrawal of Russian de- posits from France. A year ago the reserve of the bank of France was about $5S5, 100000, but at present it is about $30,000, 900 less than that amount. Since April, France has taken about $22,SO0,000 from Am erica while $3,000,000 has gone to London and $1,000,000 to Holland. New York exchange houses express the opinion that the movement of gold from this country to France is likely to continue. until the demands of the bank of France are satisfied as that institution is making the shipment of gold profitable by paying interest on 1t while in transit across the ocean. Having once re-establish- ed its reserve at the figure desired the bank of France will probaly dis continue such interest and the ship mentS will stop.

FREAK EUROPEAN PAPERS.
Plans to Win Readers Failed to Pro.

A French magazine writer who has been looking into the subject of freak newspapers thinks that one of the most remarkable of these was the Luminaria, published in Madrid. The, ink with which it was printed contain ed small percentage of phosphorous. so that the letters were visible and the paper could be read in the dark.
 Next after this he finds remarka- ble the case of the Regal, printed with an ink guaranteed nonpoisonous on thin sheets of dough. After absorb ing all the information the sheet con- tained one could eat it, thus deriving from it nourishment for mind and body.
 The publisher of a new Parisian journal, Le Bien Etre, promised to all subscribers for 40 consecutive years pension and free burial. In spite of the inducement subscribers were so few that the paper died in a month. It was followed shortly after Ds pdpCl IC uAohSbSAAJ shS handkerchief. It was printed on pa- per such as the socalled Japanese napkins are made of and might be used in case the reader forgot or lost his handkerchief. It did not last long.
 At two different French seacoast re- sorts newspapers called the Courier des Baigneurs Gathers Courier) and La Naiade, which doesn't need trans lation, were printed on waterproof paper. The inducement was that the bather could take his paper into the sea with him and read 1t while he en- ioyed his bath.

Roughly this amounts to total of $1,200. It was this fund that the lassies of the Salvation Army determiney should not lie idle.

WILL THEY DO IT
Judge Landis is Giving John D. and Other Oil Masnates a
 Chance to Talk
WITNESSES SAY 60 ON

Chcago, July 8.--Although they have been afforded the opportunity by Judge Landis of presenting eyl- dence before the federal court that the Standard oil Co of New Jersey has never broken any of the inter- state commerce laws. officers of the corporation and the attorneys for the company were undecided yesterday whether they would take advantage of the chance to-day.
 Judge Landis notified them at the close of court Saturday that he would listen to anything they had to pre- sent which they thought might show that they were innocent In other cases. It is believed that it was his intention to take into consideration any mitigating facts in fixing the fine.
 Whether the defendants would try to make showing or not was to be decided at a conference to be held this morning immediately before the convening of court in the offices of the company. It is understood that the instructions given by MT Rocke- feller himself in a conference at Alt torney Miller's office after the close of court Saturday were to present the case as permitted by the court.
 The Standard oil Go is ready to appear in court and furnish Judge Landis with any information that hs may desire. With the exception of John D. Rockefeller and his brother all of the witnesses who were subpoenaed have remained in Chicago to await the pleasure of the court. .a
 We are ready to give Judge Ian. dis any information that he may de- sire which will have any bearing on the case," said Attorney Mortiz Ros- enthal yesterday. We hold our selves entirely at the discretion of the court"

POWER GAVE OUT.
And Pleasure Parties Were Stalled in
 Many Places Last Night,

The juice operating the cars of the Connecticut company took a leave of absence last evening about g o'clock and laid off for more than half hour. The cars were stalled in all parts of the city and for a time the town was in darkness as the lights went out. The car which left this city for Watertown at S:22 did not reach there until 9:30, in fact 1t did not get to the end of the line at all. A short distance from the end of the line it encountered a car com ing down and there was nothing to do but to begin the backward trip. Although the car was packed, others tried to crowd on. The seats were not turned as those who were on them would take no chances on standing to turn them as they feared some one else would get them. Every one rode backward into town, the~car arriving in the center about 10:15, the trip lasting almost two hours.

LAPS PUSHING
By Fair or Foul Means Will AL tain Their End Says One
 Russian Paper.

St Petersburg, July S.-A despatch to the official news agency from To- kio says that Baron Goto, the Japan ese imperial commissary in China and president of the South Manchurian railway ascribes the unfavorable at titude of the foreign press towards Japanese procedure in Machuria most ly to prejudice, but he recognized that the rough-shod methods of the Japanese soldiers are also responsible for the criticism. The baron recently senat a circular to the railway otti- >cials urging them to strive to con- ciliate foreigners.
 The Novoe Vremya to-day, con- menting upon the experience of Rus sian shipper, confirms the reports that the Japanese deny the full use of the railways and customs for foreign goods, adding:
 ''The Japanese, by fair or foul means, are pushing their own mer- chandise, even winking at contra band"
 The Novce Vremya expresses de- light at the present state of the re- lations between Japan and the United States, says it hopes for the worst, states that the controversy over minor happenings in California is "a mere blind,' asserts that Japan is am- bitions to control the trade of the Pa cifc by the quasi-open door and adds that she is representing herself as be- ing the injured side.
 Continuing the Novoe Vremys re- marks: .-..
 Japan cleverly negotiated agree ments and alliances with European powers, warded off the possibility of coalition against her and narrowed her opponents down to single en- emy, this time America, who like Russia, is at a disadvantage. lacking an army and navy on the oceans. The American tenure of the Philip pines is virtually on sufferance at the will of Japan, but it will give America time to prepare for their defense" as.,.su.
 The Novoe Vremya also indicates that Russia will be forced to observe a neutral attitude.

HAS REAL GRIEVANCE.
Prisoner Suffers inconvenience in an

A prisoner in Rampore Boalla jail has a clear grievance against the goy- ernment. There are certain sincon- veniences inseparable from prison life which all reasonable criminals more or less unwillingly accept, but the most complaisant draw the line at be- ing marked down and clawed by a leopsrdess in the seclusion of the prison yard The animal seems to have been inspired by a suffragette- like curiosity as to the inside of a prison. and having got in by the high ly irregular method of leaping the wall she ensconcec herself among the low brick piers on which the old bar racks are raised from the ground. In the early afternoon she espied pris- oner in the yard clearing up. and. like the impulsive creature she is, prompt ly leaped upon him. striking him to the ground and clawing his back. Then. with the fickleness of her sex. she suddenly changed her mind. and in an access of shyness ran away and hid herself among the brick pillars. Now Col. R.

Though 1t cannot be said that the duties of an inspector general of prisons included the destruction of vermin. Col. Weir did not stop to con slider technlcalities. but borrowed . rife.
