THE CANAL PURCHASE.
French Receiver Denies Story of
american Profits.

Paris Dec. 23.-In view Of a possible investi-
cation by the American Congress into the Pan
anna Canal purchase. NJ Lemarques. the receiver
of the old company. made the following state
ment to-day:
While do not desire to go into details or en-
into the discussion now raging in America,
l do not hesitate, in speaking from personal
knowledge. to brand the story of the existence OF
money is supposed eventually TO have gone as
a fable invented out of whole cloth As an of
ficer appointed by the court, It would be i'm
proper for 70 say more. Both tradition and
practice make II impossible for to disclose
the list Of individual bondhOders to whom the
money distributed.
Should an investigation be ordered in the
United States, NJ. Lemarques explained that it
would rest with the court to decide what In
formation could be legally furnished. He de-
clined to discuss whether there were any Amerf-
can bondholders, and, If so. to state even ap-
proximately the percentage Of the total amount
they received.
Another authority asserts that the American
interest in the canal comparatively insig-
niicant, being confined practically to a single
New York banker, whose holdings long ante
dated the plan for the American purchase. He
estimated the amount which went to America as
well below $5O0OOO.
Final formalities in connection with the liqui-
dation of the old company are expected to be
new company wound up a year ago. In
both cases. however the records under the law
must be preserved for thirty years

BALKAN COMPLICATION.
Report That Austria VII Refuse
Ang Pecumary Com penSdtiOn.

Vienna, Dec 23.-According to the semi-off1-
caI "Allgemeine Zeitung." Baron Won Aehren-
thai, the Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minister
has completely changed his attitude. saying that
under no circumstances will Austria pay pc
cunary compensation to Turkey on account Of
the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This sudden change in plans causes surprise
and it is suggested that it is due to the fear
that neither the Austrian nor the Hungarian
parliaments would sanction the payment Of
compensation. The paper fears that the situation
has again become strained it is also an
nounced that the government will soon COM
municate to the powers and publish the corre-
spondence of the last three months with Russia
on the Balkan difficulty.
London, Dec. PA dispatch from CONSTANT
nopIe to 'The Times" giving details of the
Austrian proposals which do not include finan-
caI compensation to Turkey, says that it is be-
Iieved in official circles there that the proposals
will be rejected unless provision is made for
such compensation.

STORMY MEETING OF THE DoUMA
Attack on Administration of Caucasus Causes
Suspension of the Sitting.

St Petersburg. Dec. E.-There was stormy
scene In the Douma this evening between the mem
bers Of the Extreme Right and Baron NoIde a
member OF the Council Of Ministers who repre-
sented the Ministry OF the Interior. NJ. Purishke-
witch, Monarchst, speaking OF the Interpolation
relating TO the persecution OF Russian colonsts in
the Caucasus. said that the Caucasian administra-
ton composed mostly OF grafters and escaped
convicts. The vicerOy is old he said that
he often dozes off TO sleep with candy in his
mouth"
Baron Node Indignantly replied that NJ Pursh-
kevitch had libelled man whose shoestrings he
vas not worthy to unloose. At this there was loud
shouting from the Right. After order was restored
Baron NoIde said that it his intention 20
offend the Douma. but he must repeat that he was
dsgusted with the nature of Purishkeyitch's at
tacks. The Right cried out that this was new

THE CASTELLANE SUIT
Prosecutor Urges That Chitdre" BE
Left zCith Mother.

Paris, Dec. 23-M Matter. the public prosecutor Or
was heard this morning in the suit orouen' -
Count Boni de Castellaae, who asked tna' .
custody of his three children be awarded 10 ms
r,o.b.r The Drosecutor recommended that the
children be left in the custody of their motner-
M Matter severely arraigned both the count ue
CasteIlane and Prince Hele de Sagan the count
stood in the foreground of the courtroom balancing
~. .uk hat on the end OF his cane. Several times
when the condemnations were particularly severe
he bit his lips and flushed. but he never lost his
composure-
M Matter based his argument entirely on the
welfare Of the children. He described the un-
happiness of the first marriage OF Miss Could
which compelled her to seek a divorce He theh
described how, in her subsequent isolaton' sac
married Prince Helie against the opposition OF heI
brother, George Gould. who was fully informed
about the past life of the prince. and had hoped
especially in the interest of the children that ms
sister would marry American sThe lawyer tilen
spoke of the socitude for the three children as
played by Miss Helen Gould.
Regarding future Of the children, he SAID the
primary conclusion that they should be reared
in France. The advisability of placing them IN an
institution complicated by the delicate heai'ii
OF the eldest boy condition which In the oplIioi
of the public prosecutor. rendered imperative tha'
the children be kept together. He said 1t was M
possible to conhde them to the care OF tneir IAtel
or TO his mother. the Marquise de Casteliahe' "hc
would amount to the same thing. AS lot inc
Princess de Saxan, it true that regrettaole
things had occurred, but the court must remember
that previously she had been an admirabie nno'ie'
and what had happened had not made her uH-
worthy.
In view of these facts, NJ Matter salo MS COi
cI,,sion was that the children should remain in
the custody of their mother, provided that the
Prince and the Princess de Sagan lived clrcum-
specify. The two older boys should be placed IN d
school near Paris selected by the tather ana
mother and in case Of their disagreement by the
president of the court All three should pass their
vacations at residence of the Marquise de cas-
teane the court fixing the duration Of the visits
of both the father and mother.
Thus the mother will retain the custody OF her
children who have the need Of a mothers care,
NJ Matter said in conclusion. ''If that IS not the
best solution, It is at least not bad one The
ideal condition, of course would be to return the
children to their tender parents and give them
sweet and peaceful home, but this, apparently IS
impossible"
The court will render its decision on Decem-

Berlin, Dec. 23.-AlI the newspapers Of Berlin,

clined to waste words OF sympathy on him.
The Foreign Office this morning received ad
vices from Caracas confirming the press reports
of the overthrow OF President Ciprano Castro.
The whole country rose against Castro" the
communication said. The government Of Juan
Vicente Gomez has been greeted with much SYM
pathy by the native population and large pro-
norton Of the foreign residents good iln-
preston has been created by the fact that Gomez
already has taken steps to re-establish good re-

regarded as out of the question

possible to speak with any OF his associates
He is hardly permitted to the members Of

SKEPTICISM IN LONDON.
Hint That Gomez Is Acting zCith
CnstrO-''The Times'S" ViezC.

London. Dec. 24-The London newspapers do
not manifest great interest in the overthrow Of
Castro Many of them make no comment on
the dispatches. THE Post" thinks that it Is
too early as yet to conclude that Gomez Is not
acting under Castro's instructions.
THE Times" In editorial refers to Castro's
reckless folly which convinced the United
States government that his castigation was an
International necessity. The Times" thinks
that Gomez has shown considerable adrOttness
and has acted judciously in inviting the United
States to send warships to a Venezuelan port.

From the State Capital
Items of Importance to Wisconsin
People. Cleaned at Madison.

Madison -RepresentativeS of % of
the largest life insurance companies
of the country appeared before the
Wisconsin tax commission and urged
1t to recommend to the state legisla-
ture that the present system of tax
ing life insurance companies on their
premium receipts be continued but
that the rate be lowered so as to af-
ford just enough revenue to maintain
proper state supervision.
1t was stated that Wisconsin is one
of the few states which derive large
revenue from the taxation of life in
surance companies and that it's rate
OF three per cent on gross premium
receipts is nearly twice as high as the
average of the rates levied in other
states.
The representatives of the North
western Mutual of Milwaukee COM
planned that under the present law
their company is compelled to pay
tax of IA per cent. on it's business in
Wisconsin, this being due to the re-
taliatory law. Wisconsin annually de-
rives about $425,000 from life insur-
ance companies, of which the North
western Mutual pays $365,000.
l.. A. Anderson, actuary of the state
insurance department, said that he be-
lieved life insurance companies should
be taxed on the investment value Of
their policies, or, in other words, on
their reserves and surplus. He said
that the Northwestern Mutual was
compelled under the present law to
pay more taxes than it should.
The commission took the subject UNI
der advisement and will make some
recommendation regarding it to the
legislature next January.

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, ard its component

physicians, as it is free from all objection

manufactured by the California Fig Syrup

BY the adoption of the revised con-

line between Wisconsin and Michigan

hundreds of thousands of acres now
included in Badger territory and it is
understood that the authorities at

constitution provides, in part, that the
boundary line shall run through the
middle of the main channel of the

custom and in conformity with the
proclamation of the president of the
United States, /, James o. Davidson,
governor of the state of Wisconsin, do

CAS- people, we have much for
which to be thankful Our harvests
are abundant and the general health
of the people is good. The temporary
depression in business which prevailed
a year ago has passed and the future
never was more promising than at the
present hour. No other people are ia
vored as are the citizens of this free
country. In their Astounding prosper
ity, they should not fail to acknowl-
edge their deep obligation to the great
creator of the universe, whose bless
ings have been SO bountifully be-
slowed upon them"

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum

Many talented person is kept back
because Of the interference Of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the case with talented persons.
There is simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils and Tenn. lady's ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says:
Almost from the beginning Of the
use of coffee it hurt my stomach. BY
the time / was fifteen / was almost
nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no
strength to endure the most Trivial
thing, either work or fun.
"There was scarcely anything !
could eat that would agree with me.
The little | did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than it was worth.
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water. but there was so little food
could digest, | was literally starving;
was so weak I could not sit up long
at time.
at was then friend brought me
hot cup Of Postum. drank part Of 1t
and after an hour felt IS though I
had had something to eat = felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Post
um in place of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day / can eat and
digest anything want, walk as much
as want. My nerves are steady.
at believe the first thing that did me-
any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and use it alto
gether now instead of coffee" There's
a Reason"
