(Copyright, 190U, by Press Publishing Co.)
PAItlU, Oct. 31. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Today In tho
first division of tho civil court of Paris
George Gould was appointed administrator
of his sister Anna's fortune. President
Ilcaudoln pronounced judgment nt 3 o'clock.
Neither tho count nor countess wcro pres
ent, but Marquis Castcllane, Donl's father,
was there. Tho nudlcnco was deeply In
terested. Oeorgo Gould, who was applying
for tho appointment In tho tiamo of all
Anna's brothers und sisters, was rcpre
rcnled by Donnet, a celebrity of the Paris
bar. Anna's attorney opposed the petition
simply as n matter of formality, she having
consented on Friday last, when oxamlncd
by the civil Judges In chambers. Today
Count Donl's nttorney simply rose to say
his client had authorized his wlfo to plead.
Then Georgo's lawyer briefly stated tho caso,
saying that as tho family was dlstrcsBod
at the Inordlnalo expenditures of their Bis
ter's husband, Its members had prayed the
eldc3t member, George, to tnke tho uoces
sary steps to savo hor and her children from
ruin. Therefore, Gcorgo Gould prayed tho
court to deprlvo Anna Gould, in marriage
Countess de Castcllane, and her husband
of uny power touching their capital to can-
tract debts and to placo the fortune under
tho sole control of Georgo Gould, a promi
nent buslncEs man and capitalist ot tho
United States, brother of tho detondant, who
could furnish ample security for tho proper
administration of tho trust. Tho lawyer
being usked tor the tacts In support of the
petitioner's plea, said: "Your honor, thp
situation is brlelly this: Count Castcllano
himself Is absolutely penniless. Under his
guidance tho defendant has spent 23,000,
000 francs of her money In four years,
though her total Income Is but 3,qQ0,00O
francs. Ilcpoated adjurations from her fam
ily had never tho lenst cltect upon tho de
fendant's husband's squandering ways, be
sides the Injury to her reputation caused by
carrying debts on all sides. Tho petitioner
respectfully points out, your honor, that
this rnto of expenditure Is bound to bring
speedy an.! permanent ruin to tho children,
whoso Interests the countess and her own
relatives nre especially anxious to protoct."
Acna'a attorney then nroso to say tho
defendant desired to raise the point
whether a foreigner could act as trustca
according to the French law. A lengthy
debate followed and tho court finally da
elded tluiic lr nothing ivhlcK debaro for-'
olgners from ouch functions and Appointed
Giorgo Gould permanently against Anna's
lawyer's mottou to limit tho term to tour
years.
This means the Cnstellancs will harp to
obtain a reversing Judgment to recover
their freedom, Uilch hero Is always cx
tremoly hard to secure. Countess Anna
saw all tho reporters, but. refused to dla
cuts tho matter, simply hogging with tears
In her eyes that they mako light of tho mat
ter and not revive stories which would hurt
her husband's feelings. Sho says he suf
fers keenly from tho cxposuro of his sit
uation. Count Honnl has been out of town tho
last three days, but returns tomorrow. His
father. Marquis de Castcllane, is very sour
against the court for choosing a foreigner.
hut admitted that when in order to prevent
tho salo of tho coutle, as was exclusively ca
bled to the World, George Gould advanced
$5,000,000, ho obtained from Count Bonl a
signed. agreement that ho would not opposo
the trustee proceedings, but, quoth tho mar
quis, "my Bon thought I could sorvo, but
the Gould brothers won't agrco. Wo fcol
Georgo will administer with harsh parsi
mony. Donl, with dlfllculty, will bear his
bondage."
The event creates great excitement In
clubdom. Somo ot the count's friends aBscrt
he won't submit to tho Goulds' sovoro and
contemptuous dictates and nn early divorce
muy bo expected. Others laugh at tho fact
that tho penurious Marquis Donl's father Is
disappointed In having expected to secure a
largo trusteo's percentage, which would
proyo a godsend to his net Income, while
Georgo Gould offered to administer the trust
gratis. George Gould, when hero last sum
mor, studied the whole question thoroughly.

(Copyright, ISod, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Oct. 31. (Now York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Lansdowno's
appointment to be foreign secretary cre
ated a feeling of surprise nppronchlng stu
pefaction among tho ministerial ranks.
Their only consolatt'u Is tho reflection that
ho virtually will be merely Salisbury's
head clerk. His promotion to tho most Im
portant ofllco In tho state Is regarded also
as throwing tho responsibility of tho war
ofllce blunders directly on Wolsoloy, tho
military chief ot the department. Lane
downo Is esenttalty a sate, unadventurou
ralnlster, nnd tho queen highly approves
Ilia selection ns a countcrpolso to Cham
berlain, whoso recklessness It is kuowa
has been causing the queen profound anx
iety. It Is generally rumored that Cham
berlain 13 sulking over Salisbury's recon
struction pchemc, ns placing further ob
stacles In his path to tho premiership.
To plucato him his son Austen Is to be
promoted to tho ministry of works and, it
Is even slated, to bo included iu tbo cab
inet. Hltchlo'n trnnsfcrenco from tho
Hoard of Trudo to tho udmlralty means
nothing, whllo Lord Balfour of Ilurlclgh'a
appointment to tho war ofllco Indicates
that Salisbury Is determined to deal gently
with abuses In that department.
LONDON, Nov. 1. If tho Dally Tele
graph's announcement lias been a moro
feeler to ascertain tho temper of the pub
lic toward Lord Lansdowno's appointment
ho would certainly never bo minister of
foreign affairs, but although tho socrctary
ship has not been officially declared, It Is
accepted ns a set thing.
Standard Is 1'lnln Spoken.
Tho Standard says that it has learned that
Lord Selhorno, under secretary for the col
onics, nnd Hon. St. John Drodcrlck, under
secretary ot stato for foreign affairs, will
enter tho cabinet and that Charles Thomp
son Illtchle, president of tho Board of Trade,
wjll bo given n higher post. It adds: "The
appointment; of tho marquis of Lansdowno
as ocr majesty's principal secretary of stato
tor foreign affairs Is an almost Inconceiva
ble blunder. Ho has not tho character and
qualldcntlcns for such a position. Tho only
plauslblo excuso for tho appointment is
that Lord Salisbury will still control the
Foreign ofllce, whllo Lord Lansdowno re
lieves him of his routlno duties."
Tho Daily Mull, which professes to bo
llovo that such au appointment Is possible,
says: "If Lord Lansdowno Is appointed for
eign secretary and somo other gentleman of
agrcoablo manners Is mado first lord of the
admiralty, the country may lament a great
opportunity lost forever."
Tho Dally Chrontclo Bays: "Wc well may
ask whether tho country would havo voted
quite so 'klknld' had It known of this ap
pointment beforehand;" ' ' " " ' '
Tho Dally News observes:' "Presumably
tbo explanation of tho appointment Is that
Lord Salisbury wants n man he enn cosily
control In foreign affairs, which would havo
been Impossible If Mr. Chamberlain had
been appointed. In fact, Lord Salisbury will
still bo the foreign minister with Lord
Lansdowno as his clerk."
Tho Times to a largo extent takes the
vlow of tho liberal organs, namely that
Lord Salisbury will now find time to bo
tho real premier, and to exercise greater
control ovor tho wholo cabinet Instead of a
mero nominal control. It believes tho ro
port of Lord Lansdowno's appointment nnd
defends him against nowspapcr attacks, and
says: "These critics would find It hard to
indicate whom they would find hotter llttod
for tho post."

NEW YORK, Oct. 31. A revision mado
tonight ot thoso persons missing and
thought to havo perished In tho explosion
nnd Are at Turrant & Co.'s drug house
shows twenty-flvo unaccounted for. Of
this number four aro not known nt tho
Addresses given by tho persons reporting
them ns mlsslug. Out of tho wholo number
eight are put down by tho pollco os em
ployes of Tarrant & Co.
Not a Blnglo body had up to 10 o'clock
tonight been found In tho ruins, though
what looked like parts ot oodles havo been
dug out. It begins to look as If what re
mains aro In tho mass of debris which
still cumbers tho pluco will bo totally un
recognizable as nf human composition,
even should tho workmen find thorn. This
Is because of tho tremendous heat caused
by tho explosion ond tho flro und tho fus
ing ot materials which, ruunlng together,
form a maBS ot nil sorts of stuff. For In
stance, what was supposed to bo parts of
bodies tukon from tho ruins last night
turned out on examination at tho morguo
to ho blackened pieces of melted gum
Arabic. Again toduy auothcr mass was
found which tho workmen first thought
to bo human flesh, but Is now thought to
bo melted rubber. Tho searchers havo
found In tho ruins of tho Homo Mado hotel
a number of articles such as books, a
handkerchief, a cigar holder, etc., hut
whether their owners escaped or not Is
unknown.
Tho authorities In tho meantlmo aro
pushing tho Investigation into tho amount
of explosives stored in tho building with
a vlow to prosecutions. Along this lino
Secretary Dohcrty of tho Fire department
said today:
"Tho combustibles carried by Tarrant &
Co. wcro largely In excess of, what wore
allowed them under the pormlt granted by
tho ,Vlro 4i?r.rtiu'iiit iml In cr-nsequensc. of
this fact thoy havo violated tho law. Hy
violating tho terms of tho permit thoy
havo committed a misdemeanor which not
only vitiates their insuranco policies but
renders them criminally llablo and re
sponsible for tho damago to life and prop
erty ns a result of tho explosion. The
lire lnournnco companies cannot ho held
for tho damago."
