The Count de Toulouse-Lautrec,
famous in several countries as
swindler, was arrested recently at
Antwerp, Belgium, charged with cash
ing stolen coupons. He protested
against his arrest on the ground that
he was an American citizen and dis
played naturalization papers issued In
Illinois. 1t was found on investiga-
ton that he had been released but
recently from Siberia. He has been
in prison for fraud in half the civil
tied countries of the world.
Nicolas Erasmus Savine is perhaps
the most notorious swindler now liv-
ing. He styles himself Count de Tou-
1ouse-Lautrec because of a marriage
which he says took place between his
father, general in the Russian i'm
perial army, and Countess of the
emigre house of Toulouse-Lautrec.
lie was born in Russia in 1855. Un-
der the name of Savine he held a
commission in the Russian Imperial
Guard. He was of an excellent fam
fly and had a considerable fortune.
At one time he seemed to be on the
road to high honors. He fought GAL
Iantly in the war of 1876 between
Russia and Turkey and received three
wounds at Plevna. After the war,
however, he fell into evil ways. He
became entangled in Nihilistic plots
and he took to gambling. Some
where about 1880 his entire fortune
was dissipated, and he was obliged to
resign from the army.
With the equipment of handsome
presence, an unusually complete edu-
cation and a wide and influential ac-
auaintance, he started for Paris and
began his career as swindler. His
apartments became the headquarters
for the most reckless gamblers of the
capital and Savine was successful in
plucking them. Soon afterward, he
worked his way into the secret diplo-
matte service OF four Governments at
the same time, selling the military
secrets of the each to the other three.
About this time he married Mile.
Clemence Vervoort. This lady ap-
piled for divorce from him in 1902
on the ground that he had deceived
her at the time of their marriage by
pretending to be the Count de Tou-
rouse-Lautrec The French courts
upheld the plea, and the French
scions of the old house of Toulouse
Lautrec Indignantly repudiated Sa-
vine. He, however, insists with an
earnestness that is not simulated that
he is the head of the Prussian branch
of the family, which was established
at the time of the French Revolution.
Driven from Paris at last, Savine
made his way to Bulgaria just after
the deposition of Prince Alexander,
when Stambuloff was ruling the coun-
try as dictator. With a beautiful
and clever woman named Madeleine
he had been doing several cities Of
Europe, including Monte Carlo. and
in 1886 he found himself with her In
Venice. According to his own story
OF the events which followed, Savine
became friendly with Don Carlos, the
Spanish pretender, ane the latter sug-
gested that Savine maAs try for the
Bulgarian throne.
With a retinue wardrobed through
the kindness of Don Carlos, Savine
and Madeleine started for Sofia, and
soon arrangements we're made with
Stambuoff for the carrying out Of
Savine's desires. The "count" then
went to Constantinople to secure the
approval OF the Sultan and while
there was arrested at the request Of

San Francisco, March 30.--A tele-
gram was received at the general Office
Of the Southern Pacific company in this

ger traffic manager, who is at present

action of the Interstate Commerce com
mission, which was interpreted as clos
ing the Portland gateway and necessi-
tsting a higher passenger nate by the
Southern Pacific II Seattle and other
Northern points, via Portland, has been
modified. The objection Of the cum
mission, it appears, related only to the
manner of publishing through rates,
and revised tariffs conforming 10 the

soon as possible.
This new ruling will be received with
great satisfaction in Portland, which
was being adversely affected by the
higher passenger rates charged from the
East to. Seattle via Portland than were
charged to Seattle over the Great North
ern. The Southern Pacicf is equally
pleased, for it has been known that its
earnings and prestige have suffered by

roadbeds and another large army to 20

with their frosts and their SHOWS, have
made may miles Of shaky track and as
many more Of softened roadbed.
The past winter has not been as hard
as the season usually is on roadbed and

that the traffic has not been 30 heavy.
No renewal work, however, lie being
done this winter, and after the frost
comes out Of the ground In the spring
there is bound to be settling Of the
roadbed, saggIng OF bridges and a score
OF things which go to prevent efficiency

roads seek to procure Americans when
they can get them at the price which il
offered for labor. As Iule, however,
the railroads are glad to get men wheI.
ever it is possible, the only stipu a'iof
