garded or Publicly Referred to as a Candidate.

Washington, Nov. 29.-President Taft has informed friends that he is not to be regarded or publicly re- ferred to in political speeches by Re publicans as a possible candidate oi the party in 1916.

WITNESS AGAINST FORMER N. Y CHAMBERLAINS SAYS DE-
 lUSlONS INVENTED.
EFFORT TO BREAK HYDE ALIBI
Case Will Go to the Jury Friday, as Evidence Is Concluded and Re- cess Was Taken for
 Thanksgiving.

New York, Nov. 29.-The trial O. former Chamberlain Charles H. Hyde was concluded Wednesday night with the exception of the summing up which was put over until Friday. Elf forts to expedite the trial, so the jurors might spend Thanksgiving at home, failed because the state con. sumed considerable time calling wit. nesses in rebuttal
 The feature of the day was the re appearance of Joseph G. Robin, for. mer head of the Northern bank, who has testified that Hyde forced a loan of $130,000 from that bank to the Carnegie Trust company in 1910 by using his control of city deposits as a club.
 Robin has been declared insane by alisnists called by Hydes lawyers. On the stand he testified that he could not recall as truthful a number of the delusions which the alienists attrib- uted to him two years ago and which some of the experts declared still af. flicted him.
 He alleged that the alienists had put many of the statements attributed to him into his mouth. Some that he did admit were merely the result of breakdown following his financial worries, he asserted.
 Dr. Ira O. Tracy, an alienist called by the state, testified to his belief that Robin was sane.
 Testimony was adduced late in the afternoon by the prosecution in an ef- fort to overcome the alibi Hyde had attempted to establish. Hyde swore that on the night of August 22. 1910, he did not meet Robin, as Robin had said he did
 Thomas F. Murphy, former assist, ant postmaster, testified that on this night he was invited to Robins apart. ments for dinner. He said Robin got a telephone message and immediately afterwards the two went to the Car. negie Trust company offices.

The Washington government dispatch
ed General Sheridan to Southern Tex
as with large army to prevent troops
from crossing the border. The United
States could not now tolerate this in
fringement of the Monroe doctrine,
while she yet had one million men un-
der arms, especially when she saw her
late enemies in arms, focking to the
standard of the foreign invader. A
note was sent to France, requesting
her to withdraw her troops, which was
begun at once, and the throne of
Maximilian tottered, and as the last
troops left the soil of Mexico, fell to
rise no more. President Juarez be-
gan demonstration from the North.
Marshal Bazine, at the last moment,
urged the unfortunate and now de-
serted emperor to leave Mexico with
him, but the brave MaXimilian refus-
ed and stared destiny in the face.
How strange is the fckle goddess OF
war. This same General Bazine, who
had been at the head, and real master
of Mexico, in less than ten years was
condemned to be shot, by a court
marshal of his fellow generals, for
surrendering a stronghold of France,
with 175,O00 troop, 900 cannon, and
100000 rifles without firing a gun. He
was afterwards eXiled for life. Maxi
milan gave up his capitol and fed
with some of his officers and soldiers
to a fortified castle near. Here an
other man of destiny comes upon the
scene, Pofrio Diaz, the future tyrant
of Mexico. With strong body Of
troop, Diaz surrounded the stronghold
and demanded an unconditional sur
render. The officers of Maximilian
proposed cutting their way through

Swooning she was carried out Of the
room.
Next she went to Pope Plus, the one
who had promised her help and pro
lection. 1t took days before she could
even get an interview. When she did,
Plus only pointed to Maximilian's note,
asking for permission to sequester the
church land in Mexico The Holy Pre-
late would do nothing. Carlotta felt
the tottering of two thrones, the
throne of Mexico and the throne OF
reason, and even as she was pleading
with Plus, both fell to the ground. She
was carried away raging maniac.
For more than 40 years she was con-
fined in the Chateau Bonchant, near
Brussels. Day after day she waited
for the coming OF MaXlm1llan. Every
day she asked for "her prince" as she
called him mot today, perhaps to-
morrow" would be the answer. Yet
that letter which Maximilan had sent
her by the officer, who shot him, had
safely been delivered, but never open

feet from her. Day after day, for 40
years she sat in the balcony of the
Chateau and gazed vacantly down the
walk of the ancient park, watching,

But last year it came, Carlotta was in
her casket, and the letter was put in

said, "As it had not been delivered in

of Louis Phillippi, sleeps in the TOMB

the Gordon Of Mexican troop, but the
irresolute monarch, proposed an
agreement, and surrendered. 1t was
said that Diaz promised immunity and
protection, then treacherously deliV-
cred him into the hands of his enemies,
who sought his life. A court martial
was called, trial began, which could
have but one ending, the death of Maxi
milan and his officers. United States,
England and Prussia interceded for
the unfortunate prince, but all in vain.
Not once did this proud nobleman ask
for mercy or sue for clemency. When
he. with his officers, were led to the
place of execution (they were to be
shot, Maximilian turned to his Gener-
al Miramom and said, "a brave SOL
dier should be honored, even in his

Carlotta had gone first to Napoleon
and Eugenia, the authors of all
her woes, on her bended knees she
begged and implored the French king
to save her husband. But Napoleon
was obdurate and stern, would not

Of the conquest.


To fully understand the tragedy in
the life of the unfortunate queen OF
the land of the Aztces, the scenes
must be shifted often.
About century ago, President Mon
roe issued an innocent looking little
manifesto to the Powers, saying in ef-
feet "these United States would view
as unfriendly, any attempt of Europe
intermeddling with the governments
of this hemisphere, as they then exist
ed" This was to check the designs
of a coalition of certain European
States called the "Holy Roman Al
lance" whose object was to restore
to Spain her revolted colonies in
america. This delicate hint was suf-
fcient to stay the hand of Europe un-
til the time of which I write.
During the revolts and revolutions
of a half a century, Mexico became al
most hopeIessly in debt to foreign ma
tions. AS one government of the un-
happy republic began to straighten
out the web of their monetary affairs,
it would be overturned by another, a
new system begun, while all the time
it's debts were growing mountain
high.
When the North and South were
we'll enough along, as Europe took it,
in a war of determination, the wiley
and intriguing emperor Of France,
Nepoleon III, conceived the brilliant
idea of establishing an Empire in Mex
leo, thereby Strengthening his own
tottering throne, and diverting the at
tention of his own dissatisfied sub
iects by a foreign conquest. He pro-
posed to all of the great powers, to
whom Mexico wags indebted, to join
him in a league and to send feet OF
battle ships to Mexico and seize the
revenues of that country. By diplo-
macy and treachery, he inVeigled
Spain and England to join him, all the
other powers held back.
Just as Lee had overwhelmed Nc
Clellan around Richmond, and was
carrying his standards beyond the Po-
tomac, f1otilla of warships and
transports, laden with soldiers, arriv-
ed at Vera Cruz, they sent joint
note from the plenipotentiaries of the
three powers to President Juarez, de-
manding immediate indemnity for all
present and past wrongs, and set
tIement of all claims. Juarez, who
was then fighting for existence, with
the revolutionists of his own country,
was either unwilling or unable to
comply. Then the war with Mexico
began. The high-handed and unjust
methods taken by the French comman-

| front, and the. guerlllas In the rear,
till at last, they came in sight Of the
capital. The French had overcome al
most impossible barriers, while the
Mexicans had fought with a spirit OF
despair. On the very day that Gen
eraI Lee started his. second invasion
of the North, the French foated their
banners in triumph over the ancient
city of Mexico. Then came a carnival
of blood, of prescription and relentless
persecution Of personal enemies, that
excelled those of ancient Rome.
When order was restored, a conven-
ton of the people was called to decide
upon what form of government was
desired. All the loyal troops and
thousands of the loyal men had fol-
lowed President Juarez to the North.
The convention, consisting of reVolu-
tionists and renegade officers of the
Mexican army, met in convention, and
declared for a monarchy with a for
eign nobleman as emperor. One can
see the fine, undisguised, Italic hand
of Napoleon in all these proceedings,
his plans working without a hitch.
The choice of an emperor fell to Ma
poleon, and the new ruler must have
three requisites. He must be of royal
birth, he must be acceptable to the
other powers, and above all, he must
be "cats paw" for this many sided
French ruler.
We shift the scene again. At the
head of the lovely Adriatic sea, where
the southern breezes brought the
smell Of orange blossoms from the
groves of Italy, the warm and delight
full air of the Mediterranean, was a
stately palace. There lived the young
and accomplished Maximillian Arch
duke of Austria, and his beautiful wife,
Carlotta, in whose veins flowed the
bluest blood of any princess in Eu-
rope. This veritable home of love,
peace and contentment. While the
archduke was of studious turn of
mind, loved-letters and scientific pur-
suits, he adored his young wife, show
ering upon her his hearts affections.
She in turn loved her husband as only a
woman can love a noble and true life
partner. There had never been jar
or ripple, to disturb the poise of their
happy home. The archduke was in
line, for the crown of Austria, but he
loved his books and the society Of his
idolized wife, far above state craft,
but the tempter was about to enter
this home Of bliss, and pour poison
into their lives. Napoleon wishing to
form an alliance with Austria, to
strengthen himself in France, sent
emissaries to the quiet home, to sound
the young robleman. Like Aaron Burr
