Intercession for Woman Suffrage.
From Harpers Weekly.
ST. Brides Day. which We passed in
the calendar about a fortnight ago, was
appointed, II seems, as a day of special
mediation and intercession for the
woman suffrage movement Of Great
Britain at services to be held In West
minister Abbey, st. Paurs Cathedral and
other cathedrals, churches and chapels
the country. A memorial.
asking every one to participate. was
signed by Canon Wilberforce, Mrs.
Bramwell Booth and other eminent
and laywomen and laymen.
II Is to wonder how the good people
who attended these services directed their
especially in regard to Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst. Would she figure
often, do you suppose, in the interces-
sions as THY servant Emmeline" or
that woman? Never mind. The idea
was q good one. Woman suffrage in
England still rests very much on the
knees Of the gods and u q mighty good
topic.

CASTRO TURNS HIS BACK
ON UNFRlENDLY AMERICA
Problem of How to Deal with Terror of Vene-
zuela' Solved by His Decision to Return
Voluntarily to Europe.

New York, Dec. 31.-Gencral Cipriano
Castro, one-time terror of Venezuela"
and defer of the civilized world. declines
to stay in the United States owing to the
official attitude he met with on his arrival
from France to-day on board the French
liner La Touralne
When the Touraine was steaming UP the
bay with the former president OF the
South American republic an Intended
visitor to these shores. Castro was taken
off by immigration officials and carried
to Ellis island that 1t might be decided
whether or not he was an undesirable .
AnCered at the treatment accorded him.
General Castro expressed a desire to re-
turn at once. His wish was that he be
allowed to 20 to Germany Instead OF
France whence he had come He refused
to accept any mail, kilograms or news
papers or to receive visitors. although
some of his family connections and old
friends tried to greet him.
Long before the customs officers boarded
the vessel at quarantine the former die
tator was told he was an unwelcome
visitor The cutter Immigrant, carrying
Inspector Dohler and two assistants pick
ed up La Touraine down the bay and the
officer informed Castro that he was to
come with them to Ellis island instead
Of proceeding on board the liner to her
dock.
Arrived at Ellis island Castro under
went medical inspection and the phys
clans pronounced his condition as salts
factory. The inspection a thorough one
was conducted by DR.. Sprague and Dr
Stoner. Castro took it good humoredll
and was on the best of terms with the
doctors. with whom he afterwards hat

Castro, in reply to request for az
interview said: no, | am a prisoner ant

to say ANYTHING"
Although he appeared brisk and we'll
Castro did not seem to possess his former
iron will. When the officers approached
him he appeared indignant but remained

examination as to his fitness to enter
the United States.
The general said he had come as
tourist to America. He had undergone
a narrowing experience during the many
storms he had encountered. since his de-
parture from Teneriffe for England some
weeks ago, as he is not good sailor
On reaching England he found It advls-
able to go to Belgium and thence to
France where he embarked for America.
His voyage across the Atlantic was dis
tressing, and he was confined to his
cabin throughout. He was glad to get
ashore, If only at the immigrant station.
All efforts to approach General Castro
were frustrated by his own unwilling
ness to receive visitors and the close
guard kept on him at Ellis Island.
Only at late hour in the evening
came the official announcement that
he had renowned his visit to the
country. The note Issued by Com
missioner williams OF the immigra-
ton department said:
After a preliminary hearing this
afternoon at Ellis ISLAM Gen. Cipri-
ano Castro Informed Commissioner
Williams that he desired to return to
Europe forthwith"
It was added that Castro had es-
pressed the wish to go to Hamburg
instead of back to France. It was
said at Ellis island Tonight that
Castro's wish would be acceded to.
The next steamer for Hamburg Will
be the Amerka, scheduled to depart
next Satur lay and Castro probably
will take passage on her. Meanwhile
he will be detained at Ellis island. He
has been assigned to a suite with n
private bath in the administration
building and will not necessarily be
closely confined.
with the decision OF Castro to re-
turn voluntarily to Europe the met
dent was closed and the difficulty of

partment OF commerce and labor how
