Nov, 23, via Willcmstad, Nov 2i-Presldent Castro will sail to- morrow from La Guaira on the steam- CT Guadeloupe for Bordeaux, to under go an operation by a skilled specialist of Berlin Efforts which were made recently 10 have Dr Israel of Berlin, come to Caracas, failed. As an opera ton was imperative and President Cas- tro's attending physicians were unWlll- Ing to take the responsibility, the prcsi- dent decided to go abroad,
 The operation will be performed lm- mcdlately on President Castro's arrival at Bordeaux, where Dr. Israel will be in waiting. Should the operation be successful. the president will visit Paris, where hc will rest for few days only, as he wishes to return to Caracas at as early date as possible.
 The greatest excitement prevails in Caracas, and political intriguing al- ready has commenced. It Is thought that the presidents departure may open the road for the settlement of the Holland, American and French disputes.
 When 1t was announced a few days ago that the president had finally de- termined on proceeding to Europe Caracas was all excitement and the probabilities of his carrying out this program were the subjects of discus sion throughout the city. wherever one turned. That he would only take this step as a last resort was known tc everybody, ana his most intimate friends were disposed to doubt hts ayowed intention President Castr, dreads the sea and has suffered se verely from scasickness even ol short water trips, He has never beer out of Venezuela, and it is now fel that extraordinary pressure mus have been brought to bear upon hin in order to nave him consent to tho l voyage.

Ex- Governor Batchelder of New Hampshire Calls Practice of Connecticut Most
 Effective.
URGES A UNIFORM LAW
Commissioner Macdonald Also a Speaker at Guilds Pan-New England
 Meeting,

Boston, Nov, 24.--Two interesting sessions, one devoted to the protection and promotion of the supplies of sea food, and the other to highways and their use, to-day closed the first New England conference called by the gov ernors of the six states to discuss unl- form laws and to obtain suggestions towards conserving the resources of this section of the country,
 Governor Guild, who has the credit of bringing together the governors and prominent representatives of the states, presided,
 The speakers were Francis II, Her rick, special Investigator on the lob sters for the United States bureau of fisheries; Dr. George Wilton Field, chairman of the Massachusetts Fish and game commission, Chairman Harold Parker of tho Massachusetts highway commission; James II. Mac Donald, commissioner of highways of Connecticut, and former Governor Nahum J. Bachelder of New Hamp- shire
 All the papers read and suggestions made at the conference will be re- ferred to the state chiefs of depart ments covering forestry, shelldsh and highways, with instructions to con sidor them and to report to the in- coming governors before January l. their findings in regard to uniform laws for all New England
 Former Governor Bachelder, after referring to New England as the rec roation ground of Amcriea,' and urg- ing the necessity of maintaining fits natural advantages, said that tho general uso of the au- tomohio has made necessary a system of interstate highways which will render tho most remote districts accessible 10 tourists The National Grange. of which tho speaker IS mas ter Mr. Bacheldcr declared believes that the national government should devote part of the national revenues 10 the highways as well as to the waterways
 Taking up the question of tho reg ulations governing the usc of the highways by automobiles, Mr. Bachcl- dor urged uniform legislation, so that citizen of one state can travel through other statos without vcxa- tions and restrictions differing from those of his own state.
 lIa thought the speed standard pro- yidcd by Connecticut If inteIligently enforced, should effectively prevent reckless driving.
 .N discussion, which continued about an hour followed after which, at the suggestion of Governor Cobb of Maine, resolutions Of thanks to Gov ernor Guild and of appreciation for his efforts in making the conference a success, were passed by a rising vote.

Captain and Crew of John M, Brown, Owned Here, Arrive from Porto Rico After
 Sea Rescue.
FIVE DAYS IN OPEN BOAT
Nearly Exhausted When Picked Up After Long. Stern Chasc--Ship Sold to Wrcckers for
 $500.

New York, Nov. 2i-Captain John A. Stevens, of the American schooner John M Brown, wtch was lost at sea on october 30, while on her way from Brunswick, Ga, to st. John, N. B, ar rived from Porto Rico on the steamer Carolina with the six members of his crew to-day, Ho said he and his men had been five days in the open sea in small boat when they were rescued by the schooner Brookine, Captain Sears, from Philadelphia for Arroyo, to which part they were taken. They we're nearly exhausted from their constanN labors to keep their little craft free of water, from loss of sleep and from hunger and thirst They ascribed their rescue by the Brookline to the speed o' their gasoline launch saying that when they sighted the Brooklne she probably would have slipped away without soc ing them if they had not been able to drive their 22-foot boat rapidly enough to ovcrtake her
 The John M. Browns troubles be- gan on October l5, when she ran into stormy weather off Cape IIatteras. Captain stevens believes she struck some floating or submerged wreck of wreekage, for she sprung a leak that let in the water so rapidly that the two steam pumps and all the deck hand pumps could mako no headway against 1t, In 12 hours the hold was filled completely. That tho vessels loss was inevitable had long before been apparent, but while the gasoline launch had been made ready with canned provisions and q breaker of water yet Captain Stevens decided to stay on his vessel as long as possible on account of the gale that was blow ing The departure was delayed SO long that within ten minutes after the schooner had been abandoned she 1 rolled over on her side and settled down. The John NJ, Brown was built 1t New Haven, Conn, in 1SS3 and was owned there. Her tonnage was 37O.

Brooklynite Introduces Court to Trixie," Who, He Says, Was His First Spiritualistic
 Acquaintance,
FREIGHT EYES" RECALLED
Taking stand to Determine His Mem tai Fitness, Merchant Character izes the Proceedings as
 Sacrillgious.

New York, Nov. 24-Exprcssng the same firm belief in splritualsm that characterized hls testimony at a pre- vlous hearing, Edward Ward Wander bft, husband of May Pepper sean nell Vanderbilt, the medium, took the stand in his own defence to-day in the inquiry that has been instituted by his daughter Minerva Vanderbilt, to de- termine his mental fitness to care for his property and Conduct his business The inquiry Is before sheriff's jury and commission appointed by the supreme court in Brooklyn. Miss Vanderbilt claims that her father dis played his mental untitness by his marriage to woman who, she all leges deceived him by fake" spirit ualistic manifestations,
 At the very beginning of his testi- mony MT Vanderbilt manifested a bitterness toward the attorney repre- senting his daughter in the suit The witness termed the proceedings "a damnahle outrage and said that he had been practically driven out of business and had his property tied up asa consequence of the Inquiry. Then, pointing a finger at his daughters lawyer, ho said;
 ''l want to say that this is the most eacrilIgious thing ever heard of. You ought 10 be ashamed of yourself, sir. Because you arc a Jew and l am q spiritualist, you seek to ridicule my belief to which have Q perfect right under the constitution My religion is as sacred 10 me as yours Is to you, and vet you have no regard for my feelings in this matter
 In answer to questions, Mir. Wander bilt told Of the spirits he had received messages from, through his second wife Mrs May Pepper Scannell- l-Vanderbit He mentioned Bright Eyes" "Thun- derbolt" and "Fideis," as the more prominent of the group of spirits he had heard from, and then gave the name of an entirely new spirit one that has not figured in the testimony heretofore The name of this spirit was "TriMa." "TrixIe, lie said, an tedated the other spirits of his ac- quaintanee and brought him a message from his first wife, saying that she hoped he was in good health, and that he was getting along we'll in his widow hood"
 In explaining his belief in spiritual ism. he snid
 T thoroughly believe we are All ono In spirit, the only thing that separates us being the body. Mrs vanacrb / unfolded 10 me The doctrines of our religious belief Uo were married on Juno 1, 1901 She is now in New Eng land, but I cannot say Just where She hns been ahscnt on her present torr 1 since July 2 last She was compellc5 10 travel for I had no money to gIvt her, and shc consented nohly to go tt work and give mo money to assist me l IT it were not for inc way my prop erty is locked up, she would bc wltl me now"

serious than any that they had had to consider in years. The members of the committee state, however, that they fully expect to arrive at work ing agreement without any danger of a rupture.
 When seen last evening, .fr. Mur- dock, vice grand master of t,e Broth- erhood of Railroad Tralnmen, said that the grievances of the men have noth- ing to do with the formation of a new schedule, but that they desire to reach an understanding on certain points of the present agreement, different Inter- pretatlon Of which by the two parties concerned have been the cause of the trouble
 s. N Berry of the National Order of Conductors, stated that negotiations arc progressing most satisfactorily and that the committee is being most courteously treated by tho road IL is his expectation that settlement will be reached without any resort to sev- ere measures but that 1t will take some time to thrash out all the questions involved
 It may be stated on the authority of these men that tho chief trouble has to do with the rate of payment after the first hundred miles When the agree ment first was made several years ago, tho rato after the first hundred miles was made less than that for the one hundred in order that the men with short runs should receive a fair days g pay and that the incentive to a harm fu amount of overtime work should be removed When the new management of the road came into power, they took advantage of this clause, making a smaller number of men cover the same amount of work with q consequent saving to tho road. This question and that of making the passenger men handle freight runs are the two rocks upon which q split is possible, but not at all likely for both sides will mako concessions before adopting extreme
 measures.
 The committee will meet with Mir. Higgins aagin this morning at lC o'clock and the sessions will probably continue for several days.
