FRENCH CABLE COMPANY AID
ED REVOLUTION, SAYS COURT.
Sensations at Trial Before Vene-
zuelan Court Seem to Implicate
French Government Officials.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Monday, August
24.-After more than three years Of legal
procedure the civil court Of first instance
Of Caracas has delivered judgment in
the sensational case of the French Cable
Company. The company ha5 been found
guilty of completely in the MatOs revolu-
ton of 1908 and fined s5,OOO,OOO. Other
damages also are to be assessed against
it. The trial has been even more star
Ting than that against the New York
and Bermudez Asphalt Company. which
also resulted in n fve-milion- dollar fine
because it has reached far beyond the
high officials of the cable company in
Paris.
The evidence mentions in an alleged
compromising way even such a name as
that of NJ Delcasse, minister for foreign
affairs of France at the time of the revo-
luton. Venezuela's claim that the French
government itself sent support to Matos
and M. QuievreuX. French. vice consul at
Caracas, was SO compromised by the doc
umentary evidence which fell into Presi-
dent Castro's hands that he committed
suicide in Paris. rather than face the dis
grace of charges from his government.
Pending Three Years.
The revolutionary suit, as it was called.
was brought July 10. 1905. and was based
on a great mass of documentary evidence.
consisting Of part of the archives OF the
ca BILE office at Caracas, which President
Castro had secured from a treacherous
employee of the company. These docu-
ments, which were mostly copies of the
messages sent over the lines, are alleged
by the attorney general In his complaint
to prove that Gen. Matos, after visiting
the directors of the company in Paris,
was offered every aid by them in further
ing his resolution; that the Venezuelan
structed from Paris to furnish every aid
to Matos; that as a consequence the Off
GERS in Venezuela placed themselves
under the orders of NJ. QuievreuX, who
was the agent Of the revolution in
Caracas: that the cable employees We're
all revolutionary spies; that they secretly
transmitted news to the revolutionists
regarding the movements of the govern
eminent messages were communicated to
third persons and to foreign powers, and
that the company use all its power to dis
seminate abroad exaggerated news aimed
at discrediting the Castro government.

Well Remembered Here.


Local interest in the death of Lord
Sackville Sackville-West goes back to the
close of President Cleveland's first term
to what Is known as the Murchison letter
incident. President Cleveland at that
time met a situation that gave him an
opportunity to show his power for prompt
action In the resentment of the letter
written by Lord West advising a myth
ical former British subject how he should
vote in order to best promote the inter
estS Of his mother country.
One Murchison wrote from California
to the British minister I'm this city, stating
that he was of English birth and sympa-
thizing with his mother country, and
desired to know whether ii would be best
for Great Britain to have Cleveland re-
elected. with his free-trade tendencies,
than to have a republican President and
party committed to protective tariff.
The letter afterward proved to be merely
a political trap set for the British minis
ter, but he fell into it and replied that
Cleveland's election would better serve
the interests of their common country.
Cleveland Acted Promptly.
The correspondence was at once pub
lished in the Los Angeles Times and babe
fair to stampede the democrats in their
campaign. as it gave approval to state
ments that were being made on the stump
by republican orators.
Mr.. Cleveland promptly demanded of
Great Britain the recall of it's minister,
and the demand was at once acceded to.

Oscar Larson.

1t is with genuine regret that the
News sees Oscar Larson winding up
his mercantile business in Troy. Mr..
Larson has been one of the best citi-
zens OF the town, always progressive,
public spirited and loyal p every
movement calculated to build up the
town and the surrounding country.
In his line he has been leader, ever
alert to the fact that square dealing
and close prices are the load stones
that draw trade, and he has made a
success. This fact is evidenced by the
many expressions of regret expressed by
those who have been his customers for
years, and who have come to know the
man intimately. There is general
feeling that Troy is losing great dea

has been able to build up a bushes:

Mr.. Larson. Troy is not very large

Home on a Visit.

John Shepperd, now an engineer for
the Canadian Pacific in British Colum-
bia, spent Wednesday visiting friends
in Troy. He has two weeks vaca-
ton and is visiting his parents near
Troy. At present Mr.. Shepperd is sur
veying very difficult piece OF road
near Wapta Lake, reducing a grade
that now requires eight engines to take
train up. to 40 grade over which
two engines can haul the train now re-
quiring eight. Speaking of the British
Columbia country, Mr.. Shepperd
said that in his opinion it compared in
no way with this country as farming
country. He says that last Septembel
in the Lethbridge and McClear districts
wheat was not yet ripe when IL inches
of snow fell, and the loss to the croI
was about so per cent. AT Calgary th'
snow fall was about inches. At tina
time very little Of the crop was har
vested. Speaking of the present finan
cial depression he says it struck tn
British country before it did tn
United States, and that times wer
lust as hard there as anywhere on thi
side. Money is now extremely scarce
Hundreds OF men are now out OF EN-
ployment, and things generally are at

In an address to the chronological

method of dealing with crime and
criminals, Sir Robert Anderson, late
chief of the criminal investigation de.
partment at Scotland Yard, referring
to the so-called criminal type of face,
said that on one occasion when Max
Nordau visited him he put before him
two photographs which were so
covered that only the faces were Wis
Able- One was that of DR.. Temple
Then archbishop of Canterbury, and
the other that of Raymond, the prince
OF criminals of his time. The arch
bishops face, said Sir Robert, when in
repose had an expression which might
almost be termed sinister. Raymond
had a remarkably kindly, intelligent
lace Max Nordau, who was told that
one of the two photographs was that

would not express any opinion as to
