a Queer Look.

New York. Sept. 3.-With the purpose
of testing the sentiment in Manhattan
for the denomination of Governor Hughes
il was announced today at the headquar-
ters of the Republican committee that
at the Republican primary next Tuesday
Governor Hughes name will be printed
on the city ticket In nine assembly dis
tricts.

tonight that they would regard the re-
suit OF the primaries as morally binding
upon them as to their attitude in the
state convention.
Replying to criticism of the plan. Her
bert Parsons. chairman of the county
committee. said tonight:
There is no fairness In the criticism
that the enrolment Is not representative
OF the Republican party. Under the law
the enrolled votes. whether 10, 600 or 100-
900, constitute the party. Thar is the
party to which Governor Hughes has APP
pealed- supplemental enrolment would
not help Governor Hughes or the Re-
publican party
The assembly districts where the tests
are to be made are in widely separated
sections. from the lower end of the city
TO the Bronx on both sides of the city.

Caracas. Monday. Aug. 2I-After
more than three years OF legal proceed
ure the civil court of first instance of
Caracas has delivered Judgment in the
sensational case of the French Gable
company. The company has been found
guilty of completely In the Matos rev.
olution of 1903, and fined s., 1000, 900.
Other damages are also to be assessed
against IT. The trial has been even
more startling than that against the
New York & Bermu6eZ Asphalt COM
pany, which also resulted in a $1,000. 900
fine, because it has reached far beyond
the high officials Of the cable company
in Paris. The evidence mentions i'm an
alleged compromising way even such
names as that of NJ. Delcasse, minister
OF foreign affairs of France at the time
OF the revolution. 1t is Venezuela s
claim that the French government it
self extended support to General Matos.
and NJ. Quievreux, French vice consul
at Caracas. was so compromised by the
documentary evidence which fell into
President Castro's hands that he COM
mitted suicide in Paris rather than face
the disgrace of charges from his gov

Treachery of Employe.

The revolutionary suit as it was
called was brought on July 49, 1905, and
was based on a great mass of docu-
mentary evidence consisting i'm part Of
the archives OF the cable office at Car
acas. which President Castro had seized
from treacherOuS employe of the
company. These documents which
were mostly copies of the messages sent
over the lines. are alleged by the attor-
ney general in his complaint. to prove
that General Matos after visiting the
directors of the company in Paris. was
offered every aid by them in furthering
his revolution; that the Venezuelan
manager, Fernand Jallabert, was In
structed from Paris to furnish every
aid to Matos; that as a consequence the
operators in Venezuela placed them
selves under the orders of NJ Quiev-
reux, who was the agent of the revolu-
ton in Caracas: that the cable en-
ployes were all revolutionary spies: that
they secretly transmitted news to the
revolutionists regarding the movements
of the government troops; that the con-
tents of government messages were
communicated to third persons and to
foreign powers, and that the company
used all its power to disseminate abroad
exaggerated news aimed at discrediting
the Castro government
