DISAPPOINTMENT IN LOVE
CAUSE OF NAPLES TRAGEDY
ENLARGEMENT Of Miss Meserole Had
Been Broken by Her
Parents.

ROME. March 25.-Accordfng to the
italian police. Miss Cornelia Vanderbilt
Meserole, who died Thursday night at
Naples as the result Of injuries received
by fall from . window. committed sui
eide because Of the fact that her engage
ment to q New Yorker. whose name Is
not given, was broken by the young wom-
ans parents.
They say that the parents recently in
tercepted q letter to her from France
and that the missive contained revelations
which aroused the fathers anger. He IN
dignantly refused once more to counte-
nance the marriage OF the daughter, who
In her dependency ended her life.
The young woman was buried yesterday
in the English cemetery at Naples In
plain CONN.
The statement is made that Miss Mes
erole didn't receive medical attention till
fully two hours after her fall. The Mes
erole family expressed the greatest indig-
nation at the manner in which the case
had been treated, as they are confident
that immediate treatment would possibly
have saved the patients life and would
certainly have prolonged 1t.

FOR PETRIFIED SPECIMENS.
Plans Made for Museums of Country
to Get Them From Arizona Forest.

Arrangements have been made for the
legitimate museums of the country,
under certain restrictions. to get specimens
from the petrified forest of Arizona; which
is the property of the government. There
have been a number of reports of depre-
dations by tourists and some rumors to
the effect that blasting had been re-
sorted to to get specimens. The govern
ment officials interested say this is I'M
true, but G. w. Helm Of the general land
Office has been sent to inspect the ground
and make a survey SO as to report just
what the condition is.
The Interior Department says that the
railroads running near the forest have
at different times refused to transport
stolen specimens. They think. therefore.
that nothing has actually been taken ex-
cept what could be concealed in a dress
suit case. Museums that want specimens
will have to take them under a permit
from the Secretary of the Interior.

FISH TRADE DEVELOPS.
Ranks With Wheat as Canadian
Product, Consul Jones Reports.

Wheat, for years the leading product of
Manitoba, Canada, has now a contender
for that honor In fish, according to Con-
sui General John e. Jones at Winnipeg.
The fishing industry has developed to such
an extent that it ranks second to wheat
in Importance, says tho consul.
For years the states along the interna-
tional border were dependent upon Mani
toba for fresh fish. but recent years have
witnessed the introduction Of Manitoba
fish on tho general market of the United
States. The middle states are the princi-
pal consumers, but frequently flsh from
that district have found their way to the
markets as far south as Maryland. The
catch is made In Lake Winnipeg.

KEEPS OFFICE;
CABINET CRISIS OVER
StoIypin WithdraWs Resigna-
ton and Reactionaries in
Russia to Be Punished.

ST. PETERSBURG. March 2l-Prenlier
Stolypin. who last Monday sent In his
| resignation. has agreed to remain in Of
fee, and the cabinet crisis therefore is
at an end.
An imperial decree issued today sus-
Ponds NJ. Trepoff and NJ. Durnovo, men,
berS Of the council Of the empire, from
all sittings of the council until January.
1912. NJ. Stolypin had insisted on the
removal Of these reactionary opponents Of
his policy as the price for his retaining
office, and it Is understood that it was
the negotiation Of this point that led to
q prolongatton Of the cabinet crisis.
Punishment Of Recalcitrants.
Punishments in other forms will be
meted out to other members Of the coun-
Gil Of empire who participated in the
discontinue Of Premier Stolypin by caus-
ing the rejection by the council Of the
essential features Of his zemstvo bill,
which provided for self-government in
the nine western provinces.
This bill was rejected as whole yes
terday.
The retention by M. stolypin Of the
premiership and the decision to punish
Trepoff, Durnovo and others who an
tagonized him was arrived at after con-
siderable hesitation on the part of En-
peror Nicholas.
At first Stolypin's resignation was &C.
cepted and negotiations were entered into
with M. Kokovsof. minister of finance to
accept the premiership. but his conditions
included full liberty in the selection Of
his cabinet.
Jubilation Causes Reaction.
This latter condition proved inaccept-
able. The chorus Of approval for the Sc
lection Of Kokovsoff by the Russian lib
eral press and its ill-concealed jubilation
over the fall Of Stolypin were ably en-
ployed by the interested parties to per-
suade his majesty to accept Stolypins de-
mands.
In further satisfaction of Stolypin' s
condition Emperor Nicholas seemingly
has decided to sanction the zemstvo bill
by imperial prerogative. for. according to
paragraph 81 of the fundamental laws,
ukases were signed today adjourning the
duma and the council Of empire for three
days, thereby creating an interval during
which laws can be issued by imperial
action.

BUYING WAS GOOD
Usual Public Utilities Neg

Far Apart.

Clearly the feature of the session OF
the local exchange was the activity in
bonds. five issues showing in the days

and the inference to be drawn from the
buying was that investors were the
purchasers.
Another feature was the fact that
buyers and sellers were far apart in
the public utilities, the quotations show
ing this to be the case and the bid and
asking prices preclduing trade. With
this inactivity the stock business was
really unimportant. being confined to
some of the less important issues.

Strike trouble has broken out along
the line of the Illinois Central and 9TH

Back of all bea-ish sentiment is the
uncertainty of the Presidential election

still on and not over. The backbone OF
the market, the enormous short interest
