Henry Des Houx. editor of the Paris Matin, ' was received In private audience. - In answer to a request for a message to the French Catholics he said: ""Jesus used to go to town and village preaching everywhere words of sweetness uiu cimruy. jn me same way r roncn Catholics must not be ashamed to come out In public and meet their enemies, not In order to claim from Caesar what belongs to Caesar, not even to foster their material Interests, nor to arlve vent In th anlrlt of political strife, but In order to declare ayieir raun ana claim their liberty and Show their unity and virtuous Ktilrlta."

Rlchepln, known to the stage aa Cora La Pareerle, atudles her roles, for' ehe atUl continues her career aa an actress, though he disappeared from the footlights for some months after the birth of her little son, Francois. The marriage of thla young couple was a veritable affair of date. La Pareerle had gained much success at dif ferent , theaters In Paris, particularly at tho Odeon. Jacquea Rlchepln, who in herited much of the talent of his father, Jean Rlchepln, the well known dramatist, at the age of 12 wrote a play. "La Cavallere." which he decided to produce himself at the Theater Bernhardt, while Bernhardt waa touring. For the role of "La Cavallere" he selected La Pareerle, though their acquaintance had been brief. She waa pleased to accept a star part In a play where, during much of tho action she masqueraded aa a most fetching young man. Aa a matter of course Rlchepln attended all the rehearsals of hie flrat-piece, and watched everything with closeat attention. The Inevitable followed. On the night of the first representation of ;"La Cavallere" the engagement of tha young playwright and the somewhat older actresa was an nounced. Because of the disparity of years It waa predicted that the marriage would soon end In the divorce courts, but the young couple seem more and more united aa time goes on. M. Rlchepln has so fol lowed his first succeea aa playwright with a second play, "Cadet Rousael," which has been well recelvfd. and Mme. Rlchepln progresses from glory to glory In her career. She now wishes to sbandon classic roles for modern comedy, feeling that this Is more truly her field. In summer the busy couple steal away to Tjeboul, -In Brittany.' with their little' eon. There they hunt, fish, recite verses to one another end go yachting In their boat, the Cora. INCREASE INSTUDENT BODY Taeae of Sorbonne Hare a Great Time on Openlug Day.

The duchess Is credited In the English ncwrpa;ors with planning to take the lead but of tho hands of the other duchesses and adopting a very high and mighty atti tude. These report have stirred up a rather hos'llo feeling In society, though they are pronounced absolutely groundless. Yet tdesplte them society will flock to call on her when she arrives.

Instead of sending formal cards she has written charming little notea to her Intended, guests, Including, of course, her mother-in-law and the duke's brothers and sisters. The reports published here of the mobbing of the duke and the duchess by American women passengers on the steam ship Kron Pi-Ins and on the journey to Paris are grossly exaggerated. The extreme se clusion sought by the honeymoonera on tho steamship became the subject of Incessant Jest among their fellow passengers, who were Jokingly suggesting all sorts of ruses to draw them from their retreat. But the vast bulk of the passengers troubled less about the duke and the duchess than the latter did about them.

He has been much more ill than generally known, ia still abed and the condition of his health requires him to spend the winter in a southern climate. The appointment of a royal commission to advise the government concerning the creation of a board for the administrative business of the War office and the conse quent 'changes Involved Is generally re garded as foreshadowing a position largely ornamental, . and Lord Roberts Is under stood to consider that his present 111 health offers an opportune excuse for his retire ment, thus leaving the flel4 clear for any changes which may be recommended for the king's approval by the commission. From the terms of the reference to the commission It is quito evident that It waa appointed to find a practical means of car rying into effect the recommendation of the abolition of the poat of commander-in-chief and the appointment of a general officer to command the army, making him respon sible to the secretary of war for the effl cltncy of the military forces.

Nov. 28.-(New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) That Princess Elisabeth of Hesee, niece of the ciarlna, died of poison and not typhoid fever, as was published in the World on Sunday list, four days before It was officially admitted. Is now conceded, that admission being due to Inquiries set afoot here owing to cabled Inquiries from New York. The following la the official version of the death now given to tho World by a. member of the ciar's entourage: "The princess fell a vic tim to the cxar'a taste for Iced oysters. When the csar nearly died of typhus In 1900 his cook begged the czarina on her knees to stop the caar eating Iced oysters, whose freshness could not be tested. But the czar eats large quantities dally. The princess ate several on the day she fell 111 and within two hours after she had a vio lent attack of what was thought to be cholera, especially when paralytic colli pse supervet.ed. "The czar himself ordered1 a post-mortem examination, as the death seemed suspi ciously like strychnine poisoning. But the doctors are satisfied that the oysters were the cause of death." It Is rumored that two arrests have been made from among the suite. "When at Sklernlevlce," says this authority, "poison waa mixed with the food destined for the Imperial table. It waa the courtiers, not revolutionaries, who were concerned In the affair. Russian revolutionists have never yet used poison In order to remove the enemies of liberty, as' thereby danger wou!d be Incurred of the Innocent suffering for the guilty." The World's correspondent hears that the czar's Investigation established beyond doubt that It was by accident that the plate of oysters eaten by the princess did not reach the czar himself. The Members of the czar's party were all lunching to gether. It being the princess" dinner. Just before beginning the czar had the princess placed next to him at the table, and when the oysters were placed before the czar he passed the plate to his little niece laugh ingly, as she said In reply to 1.1s inquiry about her appetite that she waa very hun gry. It Is notorious that there are high court Influences at work to prevent the czar from proclaiming his eldest daughter heir to the throne, and that ever since that Intention waa declared by him apeclal pre cautions have had to be taken to safeguard the little Grand Duchess Olga's life from poison.

Colonel Oourad tskes his commission with profound gravity, hla naturally majestic stage stride, his lordly air and hla un bounded coolness enabling him to carry out a situation which, if less artistically handled, might easily be a histrionic fiasco. He took Lebaudy on Thursday and In troduced him to Henry M. Stanley, who discussed Saharan projects with him for two hours, confessing afterwards: "I am greatly Interested in Lebaudy and hla scheme. It is colossal. My views of the future of Sahara have been stated be fore and they remain unaltered. Lebaudy, despite his rssumed title. Is a Bhrewd, far aeelng man, and if he gets a chance his seemingly visionary project may prove one of the greatest colonization schemes at tempted since Columbus discovered Amer ica." Major Spllsbury, another African ex plorer and adventurer, says: "The hinter land Lebaudy wants to exploit is very fer tile and teeming with mineral wealth also. The native racea are warlike, savage and uncivilized to tha last degree, and vast bands of robber here prey on each other. It la splendid country, but I don't see how Le baudy Is to get there. Then. If there were any unclaimed ahore to land his ex pedition, which there Is not, he would have to fight hla way, inch by Inch, for poses slon of the territory of .which he atylea himself emperor and has already appointed a governor."

Nov. 28.-(New York World Cablegram 8pe 1h( Telegram.) Disquieting reports about Emperor William's condition have been current for two days. The vocal cords aie permanently Injured, It la as serted, and at best the emperor can never fully recover his voice. Lord Lonsdale, who spent ri.x hours with him today, talking over certain difficulties ariclng In connec tion with the transoceanic yacht race, says the emperor was very cheerful, but unablo to apeak except in a loud whisper. In other words, his voice is gone, and the most noted German voice specialist has been called to treat him. It Is pointed out that such a result does not follow the re moval of an ordinary polypoid growth, and it is e. plained that the emperor put off the operation too long, owing to his official en gagements. Other growths have begun to manifest themselves. It la also reported, though thlu Is denied seml-officlally. The emperor's system has been seriously taxed by anxiety and suffering. He is de scribed as looking exceedingly 111. Tho phy sicians attribute his loss of voice to hla In sisting on going out tour days after tha operation. The number of contradictory reports afloat in court circles betray doubt and ap prehension because ct the progreas of the Illness. The press here published practic ally nothing on the aubject except roseate reports, which the emperor's continued con finement discredits. The emperor Is cer tainly going to the Mediterranean and the latest rumor gives It that he will embark at Trieste for Corfu. Emperor Delays Yacht Race. Emperor William haa withdrawn his offer of a cup for a transatlantic yacht race In 1904, on account of hla health, and has sub stituted for It the offer of a cup to be raced for In 1903. The emperor, through hla representatives, cabled his decision to the American yachts men today with his reasonsfor the post ponement. These are that tho prolonged period of the emperor's recovery and the consequent accumulation of all business haa prevented him from re-elylng hla yachting advisers to arrange the details for a transatlantic race until It was too late for the designers and builders to have new yachts ' ready for a contest In the spring of 1901. LONDON. Nov. 28.-Slr Thomas Llpton today received a telegram from Lord Lons dale notifying him that aa illness had pre vented Emperor William from meeting hla yachting representatives, It would now be too late tobulld boats In Europe and make the suggested 1904 race a success, so the emperor decided to postpone offering his cup for a transatlantic race until 1905. Lord Lortsdale added that the emperor, there fore, would not take advantage of Sir Thomas Llpton's withdrawal. Sir Thomas replied, agreeing with Lord Lonsdale that It waa now too late to make the proposed race a success and pointing out that there fore it waa quite uaeless for him to renew his offer, the withdrawal of which had al ready been accepted. Sir Thomas yLlpton hopes to enter a boat In the race for the emperor's cup in 1905. v Llpton Rnee Is Off. Sir Thomas, In the course of an interview had with him by a correspondent of the Associated Press today, said: "So far aa Emperor William la concerned I can only say that your Berlin dispatch announcing the postponement of the cup race ia cor rect I very much regret the Illness of such a good sportsman as the German emperor and heartily look forward to entering a boat In his contest In 1906." Asked If he would now renew his offer to the Atlantlo Yacht club, Sir Thomas said: After this unfortunate hitch and at so late a day it would be quite impossible to start In again and get up a really good race for 1904. I shall do everything In my power to make the race for his majesty's cup In 1HU5 a succexs, but the reasons which prompt Emperor Wllllum to postpone his offer of the cup also make It Impossible for me to renew my offer for 1904. I only withdrew the offer of my own cup In courtesy to the emperor. 1 That there will be no such race in 1901 Is a great disappointment to me which I feel all the more keenly becautte It Is the em peror's illnexs that has prevented cither of our cups being raced for in that year.

BRINGS INSTRUCTIONS FROM PRESIDENT Comas to See Just What This Country Wants on Iithmu;. CAN PUT ' DOWN PRESENT REBELLION Treaty Signed by L.; - Var lla Would Be Wo: 1 1 WILL DEAL ' WITH EXECUTIVE BRANCH Colombian Envoy Itraenta Imputation that He la Here In Any Capacity Other Than Regularly Ac credited Agent. WASHINGTON, Nov. IS.-That the Re public of Colombia grant to the United States all the canal concessions provided for in tho Hny-Herran treaty, but abso lutely free of cost, Is the proposition which Ccneral Rula Reyes brings for tho con sideration of ofllcials at Washington. GctK-ir.l Reyes arrived here today. He was met ot the station by a son of Dr. Her rnn, the Colombian chargo d'affulrs; and went at once to his hotel. General Reyes talked with a representa tive of the Associated Press, saying: "You will readily udinlt the propriety of my refraining from discussing my mission, which la of a confidential character, but of the offers which Colombia Is ready to maka I desire to say that my energies and thoao of my followers will be devoted to tho granting of thd canal concessions to the United States without the paymont of a cent. Even at this, Colombia will be the gainer." "Are you authorized by President Marro quln to make this offer to the Washington government?" General Reyes was asked. "That would be divulging my instructions before I have executed them. I cannot say. more about this now," he replied. Colombians Want the Cnnal. ' "You can furtfier ray," continued the rereral, "that all Coymbia Is nflro with seal regarding the building of the cannl by the United States, and that the unfortunate political troubles which wera the solo cause of the treaty's death before the Colombian Congress have entirely . disappeared. We want the canal, ond Z have come to Wash ington to see what the t.eoplo of the United States are.prepnred to f rcept. I come with Instructions from the prtndent of Colombia direct. My mlsMon In r.o way Interferes with the negotiations of Dr. Herrn. the Colombian charge d'affajre, for whom both my government and myself personally havo the greatest respect I shall begin Cally conferences with him and we shall w,rk In entire harmony. Dr. Herran will fo to the State department with me and present me to Secretary Hay." "What la the feeling in Colombia about . the Panama revolution?" ' "Feeling; la running "High and there Is indignation over the events on the Isthmus. We can and will put down the rebellion If not Interfered with from the outside. 80 terse is feeling and so national the spirit of determination to bring the isthmus back into the republic that President Marroquln will have no trouble In raising an army twice the aire necessary to' put down tha disturbance. Such an army can march overland to tho Isthmus, the opinion of Ill advised persons to the contrary notwith standing." What Uncle Sam Could Do. "What can the United States do now thnt the treaty has been signed by Secretary Kay and M. Bunau-Varllla?" "That treaty has n"t been ratified. Thn Colombian government Coes not ask the United States to aid It In putting down the , revolution on the Isthmus. All we ask Is to be allowed to conduct our own affairs free from outside Interference.. The Colombian government can put down the revolution without violating a letter of the treaty of 1818. I refer to the treaty that we always have respected and adhered to and not to the treaty as interpreted In these latter days. If the United States maintains a neutral position tho revolution will be put down." When his attention wns called to the re ports from Panama and other sources that he had to come to Washington to conduct a lobby to defeat the ratification of the treaty, he aald very emphatically: - "I authorize the Associated Press to say for me at the outset of my visit that my movements here shall be strictly In accord ance with tho powers with which I nm clothed. I shall deal with the officials of the Washington government direct to whom I bear letters of credence from the Bogota government. I am not her aa a private agent apil I shall ignore such re flections upon my personal and official character." Panama Will Sliike Improvements. M. Bunau-Varllla had a conference today with Acting Secretary of State Loomla con cerning financial questions connected with the canal problem. It appears thut the Junta haa determined to reserve all of tho $10,000,000 to be paid to Panurn.i by the Uplted States after the treaty W ruUAaxl for purposes of public Improvement. The minister ' has been udvlaed by l.U government and through private aenL that General Reyes tefore leaving Port Llmon for Washington, sent to the execu tive ot nearly all the republics of Smith and Central America what amounts to u protest against the action of tho Unite 1 States In the Isthmus and an Invitation to direct their diplomatic representatives In Washington to confer with him to safe guard tho Interests of Latin-America. The same circular has been brought to the at tention of the State department with u query as to its propriety from en Inter national point of view. The response of President Custro of Venezuela to this cir cular, strongly In the negative as It whs,' Is regarded us making It unnecessary for the United States government to notice tha matter further. It belnR assumed that the Other countries will follow President Cas tro's example. Clothed with Great Anthorlty, General Reyes Is clothed with extraonll nary powers to make reparation to the United States and to confer with the en voys of the Latin countries at the Ameri can government for a peaceful settlement of Colombia's troubles, and. If possible, de- vise a means whereby tho Hay-Herran treaty may be revived, ratified by Colom bia and the United States and the actual construction of the canal be begun lu ac cordance with the terms of that convention. He la accompanied by Geneal Pedro Ks pina, General Lucas Caballero, Jonge llul guln aud Jose Amgula.
