 MT Ferguson rolled easily and gently against the window of his lower berth. Then he kept on rolling and tumbled
 into the ceiling of his berth. He con-
 tinued to roll and fell out through the
 curtains into a sleeping car filled with
 terrified men and screaming women. The
 car was lying on it's side and MT. Fer

 There he clothed himself carefully and with minute attention to details. the while his mind was flaming like a furnace He was still 100 miles south of the Canadian | line, and MT.

 Mir Ferguson carefully hid his suit case I away under pile of ties and struggled through the crowd to the side of the wrecked sleeper.

NO CHARGES AGAINST ROSS wINANs
Attorney for Prince de Bearn Says Suit
Against Father Law Is Amicable.

Concerning dispatch from Baltimore. published
Sunday regarding action brought by Prince
de Bearn ct de Chalais against Ross Wtnans and
Ferdinand c. I4atrobe. Maurice Leon, of No. 90
Wall street, general counsel of the prince and in
charge OF the action, said yesterday:
SO far Mr.. Winans is concerned, Prince de
Bearns action is purely amicable. Absolutely no
charges made by the prince against his father
in-laW.
The princess who died ST Petersburg some
fifteen months ago received income under a
trust created by her father. AS to the principal OF
the trust, her father mad conferred her by the
trust deed a power OF appointment enabling her to
appoint any beneficiary She chose. She appointed
by a will her husband. Subsequently It was repre-
scented 10 the prince that the French law limits
the testamentary power TO one-third OF her estate
the right of a married woman leaving children
surviving her he entitled TO only one-third of
the principal of the trust fund.
LAS matter OF fact. this principal did not form
part OF the or the princess She never owned
f. but simply had the power OF appointment over
il so that the French law OF inheritance did not
apply. This trust. validity created under the Mary
land law, should have been performed according TO
tha. law. trusts being unknown 10 the French law
This mistaken course having been taken the
preseut action is brought to set matters right by
construction of the trust deed and decree in
fornity with the Interpretation adopted by the
Maryland courts regarding the performance of the

DIFFER ABOUT DIR. BULL
Surgeon Physicians at Odds Orer
Connection zeith Case.

Apparently there is much misunderstanding
among the physicians attending DR. William T.
Bull who Is suffering from cancer, at the Hotel
Plaza to who Is represent the surgeon. The
reports of hic condition have become so conflicting
that last night the physicians decided to give out
Just how they stood. A bulletin issued last night
and signed by DR.. Joseph A Drake and Dr.
Nathaniel g. Potter, said DR. Bull drove
around the park yesterday, and that he had evil
dertly been benefited by the drive. The bulletin
read:
Dr. Bull drove around the park again J., to-day &C
companied by one Of his nurses and ms man SCI
want thoroughly enjoyed the drive and was
evidently benefited by it. ,.,

Dr. Blake said at his nome, No. col Madison ave

fessionally in way connected with the case
He said that Dr. Wynkoop's father had been asso-
cated with him and DR.. Potter ever since the sur
geon was attacked by the disease, but since the
elder Dr. Wynkoop had been Ill he and DR.. Potter
had had fun charge of DR.. Bull
When this was told to Dr. Daniel ". Wynkoop
at his fathers home, No. 1S Madison avenue. he
said:

ter but il seems to me. since Dr.. Blake was gen.
erous enough TO give ont statement to the press

when DR. Bull taken I'll my father
found that operation was necessary Dr. Bull
suggested that Dr. Blake be called TO perform It,
and DR. Potter was also called in. Ny father was
taken Ill about a month ago and DR.. Blake looked
after Dr. Bull until 1 arrived from the West after
my father had telegraphed 10 me, saying that he
wanted me to look after Dr. Bull until he able

that any controversy should have arisen the

nicely and believe that he will in all probability

Asked about his advice to Dr Bull not to expose
himself taking rides in the park. DR. Wynkoop said
that few realized how sick DR.. Bull was When

Use of the Pension ONCE for the inaugural ball
This action, If conclusive, would probably

IS to So
Debate on the question lasted five hours. The
Democrats voted solidy against the proposal and
they were reinforced by number Of Republicans
who believe that the ball is an unnecessary and
uncomfortable exhibition and should be abolished.
This view was taken by Representatives Mann,
of illinois, Sims of Tennessee and q number OF
others. They contended that il is money making
scheme which nets the inaugural committee con-
siderable sum of money and that it is the basis OF
criticism by every who has ever attended a
ball Nj Lands, Of Indiana made a strong plea
for large appropriation TO cover the expenses OF
future inaugurations. He declared that the resi-
dents OF Washington. who took no part in the cleo
ton of the President should not be compelled to
defray the expense Of his inauguration.
Mr.. Sims said that the inauguration expenses are
burden to Washingtonians, but on the contrary,
boon. He asserted that for every dollar spent
by the business two returned to them
through the crowds that throng the city. and
declared that any other city in the country would
be willing to pay large in order TO secure
the inaugural ceremonies
The question will not come up for consideration
again until the next District day, which does not
occur for two weeks. In the mean time it is known
that the advocates OF the ball will enlist Repre-
sentative Sherman in their ranks to do some cleo
tioneerinR. Even the opponents of the bill do not
believe that they induce the House 10 vote
against it.
