PLAN COMBINED ATTACK.
Railroads to Fight Two-Cent Rate il
Several States.

Chicago, April "a combined at
tack on the 2-cent passenger rate is
promised by the railroads that operate
in Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri.
1t is probable that the suits will be
filed next week.
The first step will be the applica-
tion in the federal court in Chicago
for an injunction to restrain the state
from maintaining in force the 2-cent
statute and its penalties.
That the rate laws of Illinois, Min
nesota and Missouri will be attacked
simultaneously is a conclusion from
the close touch which has been main
tanned by railroad officials of the three
states in all their conferences.
Chicago railroad men declare that
Illinois roads have prepared statistics
as to earnings and expenditures un-
der the 2-cent fare law tending to
show that the rate is unremuneratiye
and hence confiscatory. The statistics
are now ready to be presented as a
basis for petition for an injunction.

Caracas, April 3.-President Cas-

publishes part of Venezuela's answer
to Secretary Roots last note reiterat-
ing the secretarys previous demands
for the arbitration of the five Amer
ican claims. These are the words of
the Venezuelan minister of foreign
affairs to Minister Russell:
THE government of Venezuela re-
fuses for the time being to take under
consideration the insinuation made in
your note, because, up to now, Mr..
Minister, you have not contradicted
the notes of this ministry of dates
July and Sept. 20 last, which treat
ed of the points which have been the
subject of discussion and in which
the reasons on which this government
then founded its negative were per-
fectly we'll defined. In view of this
the cases in question, comprised
among those which require diplomatic
action, cannot be considered and the
government of Venezuela would see
with satisfaction that the United
States would consider this matter ter
minated, the interested parties always
having the right of recourse to the
tribunals OF justice of the republic if
they deem it convenient"

from Paris for the United States, re-
peatedly denied to intimate friends
that she had any intention of marry
ing Prince Helie de Sagan the prince
was a welcome guest at her city and
country residences for months and
they often dined and went TO the the

sisted in marrying the prince despite
the disastro results of her marriage
to Count Boni de Castellane and the
present opposition of her family.

MINISTER USES PENkNIFE

St. Louis, April 3.--Five persons
were injured in a collision of a Bur
lington railroad passenger train with
a freight near here. ]. A. McKittrick,
a stockman, was pinioned under the
wreckage by his left leg, which was
nearly crushed off at the knee. Scald-
ing steam from the damaged passen-
ger locomotive was enveloping him
and to save McKtttrick's life Rev. r.
C Allen OF Grove City, Pa, cut off the
leg with pocket knife.
With steam enveloping him Mckit-
trick pulled out his knife and handed
it to Rev. Mr. Allen, who with others
was trying , drag the man loose from
the wreckage, commanded the minis
ter to cut off the crushed leg and save
him from being scalded to death.
Mrs, Emma Renner, a trained nurse
from Cincinnati, passenger, pressed
a bottle Of whisky to McKittrick's lips
and told him to drink. 'I'll try little
of it," said McKittrick, but | haven
touched a drop of the stuff in five
years" The steam from the engine
increased in quantity. "Cut off thaJ

The minister then began cutting al
the tendons with the knife. 1t was
duh and McKittrick suffered intense
agony Throw it away and get ar

Allen desperately continued and in a
few minutes had severed the tendons
and McKittrick was carried into a car.
At once Mrs. Renner, the nurse, made
a tourniquet of her veil and staunched
the flow of blood. Soon afterward Nc
Kittrick was given attention by ply,

CAUSES NO SURPRISE.
Action for Divorce Begun by Mrs. Al
fred G. Van derbiIt.


New York, April 3.-There Is little
surprise expressed in any quarter over
the announcement that formal action
in a suit for absolute divorce had been
taken by Mrs Ellen French Wander
bilt against Alfred Gwynne Wander
bilt. Even rumors of impending ac-
tion which have been in free circula-
ton since March 26, when Mrs. Van
derbilt hurriedly left the Vanderbilt
farm at Portsmouth, r. L., are said to
have caused surprise only outside the
social set in which the couple have
been leaders Within that circle it
had been known for year or more,
1t is said, that there was lack of
mutual good feeling between the
young people.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt inherited
a fortune of $6O,000,O00 at the death
of his father, the late Corneli1s Van
derbilt. At the same time, although
a younger son, he became the head of
that branch of the Vanderbilt family,
his older brother Cornelius having be-
come estranged from his father
through his marriage with Miss Grace
Wilson.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt married Ellen
French, the daughter of the late Fran.
els o. French, a New York banker, on
Jan. IA, 1901. At the time of his mar
riage Mr.. Vanderbilt was twenty
three years of age and his bride TWEEN
ty-one. They have one child, boy
who is with his mother at the home OF
Mrs. Vanderbilt's brother in Tuxedo.
