It Is not questioned anywhere that the

PARIS. Aug. 29. (New Tork World Ca

new sensation, he Identity of Claude
Ferval. the novelist, whose book, entitled
"The Other Love," waa recently crowned
by the French academy, haa at last been
revealed. Behind th masculine signature
and virile style is th charming personality
of tha Baroness de Frlbourg, the most
feminine of women. The Baroness de
Frlbourg's elegant home at the very head
of the Avenue Bols de Boulogne, nea
the Arc de Triomphe, Is frequented by
the most distinguished men end women of
the day. Rostand, Marcel. Prevoat, Paul
Hervleu. Mme. Paul de St. Victor and
other celebrities ar to be met In her salon
The contrast of her life ar perhaps
accountable for the somewhat singular
trenfe of the baroness1 mentality. Educated
In a convent, where th spiritual Ufa made
a deep Impression on her youthful Imaglna
tlon, she became the bride of a soldier, and
wa sthrown Into the gayetles of tha world
among many different people. Of an ex
tremely artistic temperament, sh first
came to the notice of th Parisians as
painter of portraits, several of which wer
exhibited at the salon.
It . was accident which showed her
the true bent of her genius. Her daughter,
of whom she was passionately fond, mar
tied and left her. It - was to ease her
suffering that th baroness attempted In
"The Other Love" to depict the maternal
yearning and the emptiness of her life.
Th book. Issued under the pseudonym of
"Claude Ferval." caused a sensation. Th
baroness then took to writing as a career.
Her second novel, "Le Plus Fort" (The
Strongest). Is Just out. Eh. has been spend

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 29.-A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Jefferson City. Mo..
says:
Attorney General Crow today struck his
first blow at the so-called terminal mo
nopoly, which. It Is claimed, la throttling
the commerce of St. Louis, by Instituting
before the Missouri supreme court quo
warranto proceedings to annul the charters
of the St. .Louis Merchants' Bridge com
pany, the Tunnel Railway company, the
Wiggins Ferry company and th 8t. Louis
Terminal Railroad association. The peti
tion la ot a sweeping character and
charges that the railroads centering In St.
Louis have formed practically a conspiracy
to control the arteries of trad throughout
th Mississippi valley. The aggregate
wealth of th railroad companies compos
ing ths so-called terminal combine and
holding a Joint proprietary Interest Is
computed at $300,000,000.
The quo warranto proceeding ia a move
ment against an organisation representing
a financial merger on a scale approaching
that of th Northern Securities company.
The petition sets forth briefly that the
Terminal association and Its constituent
companies have a monopoly of St. Louts
freight traffic crossing the Mississippi
river, controlling "every available St.
Louis entrance both on incoming and out
going freight."
The companies whose consolidation led
to the present terminal combine are set
forth tn the petition as follows: St. Louis
Bridge company. Tunnel Railroad of St.
Louis, Union Railway and Transit com
pany. Terminal Association of St. Louis,
St. Louis Merchants' Bridge company and
the Wiggins Ferry company.
The action taken today Is the result of
an ex na up live investigation maae oy th
attorney general and his assistant, Samuel
L. Jeffries, Into th terminal condltlona at
St. Louis.
The officials of every corporation em
braced In tne irembershlp of the terminal
companies will be cited as witnesses. If
service can be secured th deposition ot
J. Plerpont Morgan will bo taken at New

SAYV1LLE. L. I., Aug. 29-Alarmed a
the critical condition of American-Turkish
relations, Cheklb Bey. the Sublime Porte's
envoy to the United States, is hastening to
Washington for a conference with Secre
tsry Hay. The minister hurriedly left bis
summer legaUon here tonight for Wash
ington, snd because of the gtavlty of th
situation It Is the minister's Intention tj .
ask Secretary Hay to forego the customary
formalities and receive him immediately.
Th conference will probably occur at Mr.
Hay's house tomorrow afternoon.
The dispatch of American warship to
Turkish waters Is a source ot great anx
iety to the minister. The Washington
government's only cause for this action
Is to protect its cltliens, but he fears It
may have the opposite effect, and hinder
the efforts of the Sublime Porte to pro
tect foreign citizens. The appearance of th
American squadron off Beyroot will, h
believes, be taken by the revolutionists aa
an evidence of Washington's sympathy
with their cause.
Until he received Information from Con
stantinople, Cheklb Itjy will not request
the Washington fc'overnment to remove th
squadron, but will call Secretary Hay's
attention to the delicate situation In Tur
key, hoping that tomethlng May be don
to remove the embarrassment of the port.
He Has Heard Xo.'hlag.
No word has reached tl.e mtn'ster of tha
attack on the American minister at Bay
root and he has bten vtthout advices con
cerning events li Turkey for more thsn a
week. He hopes ta t nd Instructions await
ing blm in Washington upon which will
depe.id largely the scope of bis conference
with fecretary ' Hay.
Tr.ere Is a possibility that the Vahlng
ton rovefnment may be of service to th
rultan In solving his International diffi
culties, and It Is this as well aa th local
troubles at ley root which is calling th
minister to Washington.
Cheklb Boy hss slept little since healing
the report of Mr. Meselssen's ssssl na
tion. The nirlit following he walked th
floor until a a. m. the next morning. When
the Associated Press representative sailed
at the modest Utile ctuge at Say-vIHe
today w.re- the minster has established
suinrier headquarters, the d'jilomat had
Jutt read In the morning x-apers of th
mistake tn Minister Lelshman's naaag
and was evidently greatly relieved. H
talked freely of the present situation and
did not conceal the fact that he thought
the outlook bad. Sjme tf his remarks re
garding Turkey's International cos plica
tions he requested ihould be considered
confidential, but ln the hope that he might
be able to say something to the Amerlcin
people that might relieve the tenseness of
public feeling here, lie ornsented to th
publication of a large part of the conversa
tion. He said:
Turkish Mlalster Talks.
I was profoundly distressed at th. r.ews
from Iteyroot and believed that thore must
be some mistake because I had hrd noth
ing about It from my government. Th.
newa todsy confirms this belief. What I
may say about Turkish-American relations
will. I hope, be received ln the spirit In
which It is said, for It has always been my -endeavor.
In my three years In the United
Mates, to work always for the better re
lations of the two countries, and I shall
certainly not cease In my efforts In this di
rection at a critical time like this. Rut
what can I sayT It appears that your vice
consul was not assassins ted.
But does that lessen the gravity of the
situation materially? th. minister wss
asked. .
However that may be you must sdmlt
thst my government haa dose all that It
could be expected to do. AS soon ss th
local authorities learned of the affair they
called at the American roneulste and ex-
riressed their regret and jromlsed to do all
n their power to apprehend and punish th
guilty person. In addition, the Foreign
office has offered the strongest official as
surances to the same effect.
Feara ESeet of Demons! rat loa.
I appreciate fully the reasons for the dis
patch of the American cquadrnn. Rear
Admiral Cotton is carrying his ships to pro
tect the lives of American litisens. but have
you considered that this may have the op-
fioalte effect and stimulate the revolution
ts to further ontraces, thereby Increasing
the difficulties ln the wsy of the ports s
protection of foreigners? I must refuse at
this time, however, to comment on this. I
fervently hope immediate rrl'ef will be
forthcoming.
Have you any Idea what motive Inspired
th attack on Mr. Magelssen? ha waa
asked.
Despite the reports to the contrary snd
the efforts of the European powers to have
It otherwise, I believe the affair waa with
out political slunlncance snd the attack
was made by a ersunal enemy of your vie
consul. The unfortunate part of It la that,
coming at this time, ths revolutionists will
attempt to profit by the occurrence snd It
is this which renders th situation grave.
Do you think your government realises
the seriousness of purpose with which th
squudrou goes to Beyroot?
Disastrous to Sever Helatloas.
My government would be very unwilling
to believe that uny but the t-st relations
exist betweep It and the United States. Of
course the worst may come and relations
be broken off, but I do not think so. I am
hoping all the other may. I can think of
nothing more disastrous than a severance
of diplomatic relations of the two coun
tries. We will not sieculate about that.
Has your excellency heard ths rumor
that tha Washington government's program
culls for a seizure of one or mora ports in
i lie event the sultan refuses the American
demands and that this In turn would be
followed by the lecall of Minister LeJshmau
ami possibly your own departure from the
United States?
No. I have not heard that. I hope It Is
not that bad. Of course, if your govern
ment desires It, I shall go, but let us not
take such a serious view of the situation.
What demands do you refer to? Patience
is necessary in International affaiis. My
sovereign hss promised what you have
asked, or the most of your requests, and
he will certainly carry out hi promises.
You must remember that my country is
very niut. i occupied st present, snd I hop
the Washington government will appreciate
this snd not Insist on a final adjustment of
all pending controversies until the Jnterior
troubles have quieted.
Pkyslrlaaa Source af Trouble.
You have afcked for certain privileges for
doctors and students. You want your pin -slcians
admitted on certificates to practice
In Turkey. My government la very carefui
of the kind of doctors it licenses to prac
tice. If your government would itself ap
prove tlie diplomas of th American school
of medlcin-. your physicians would Le ad
mitted without eia ruination. This ts th
reason that the French and other European
physicians are ad milted on certificates. The
medical school at ibot countries ax un-
