! yesterday: "The great regret of my life
was I was unable to see the Derby, being
, confined to my room by the doctor' orders.
I have seen most of the derbies since 1867,
when Hermit won.
"I was at the polo match a week ago as
.the guest of the Hurllngham club. I over
heard Shrewsbury's most Insolent and pre
I aumptuoua demand that Waterbury pony
bo withdrawn. Shrewsbury was moat un
'gentlemanly and aggressive. I regard him
jas a 'Spotted Earl.' not one of the right
' class.

; father and De Courcey Forbes as guests
Early on Sunday Foxhall Keene received a
letter irom tne roio ciuo u'teriy repudi
ating Shrewsbury's action. Jamea R.
Keene and the late Pierre Lorlllard axe ro-
I garded In England as the real leaders of the
American turf. What Mr. Whitney will do
remains to be seen. They each spent at
least $1,600,000 racing In England.
"The more I sea of racing here the more
convinced I am that nothing could be more
fairly conducted. Lord Durham, the Jockey
club steward. Is the fairest man ever con
nected with the turf.
"Right here I want to protest agalnat the
stories published In America about Amer
ican Jockeys not having fair play. There
Is no jealousy. - If a Jockey Is straight he
Is wall treated. But such as 'Tod' Sloan
bould be ruled off the turf. If an English
Jockey Is not straight ha will be likewise
thrown off."
Everyone with whom I talk business

PARI3, June 7. Young Mrs. Shangley of
New York, who was Introduced to the shah
of Persia in Paris two years ago, recently
took several gondola rides with him In
Venice, where she and her husband chanced
to be. She says the eastern potentate Is
not so uncouth ss he is pain-ted, that he
converses Intelligently about music and
scenery, and Is especially Interested in the
marvels of modern science. He expresses
great admiration for physicians and de
scribed several surgical operation per
formed under his eyes by his European
physicians, of whom he has three, one
French, one Austrian, one English. The
shah's present hobby Is to have his capital
searched for cases requiring surgical help
nd have them taken to Ails palace, where
he watches the operations. The patients
are generously cared for thereafter.
Mrs. Shangley says the shah speaks
French brokenly, yet enough for conversa
tion, but knows no English, except the
words "No good." Under the tutelage of
his European physicians, who are his con
stant companions, hs has lost much of his
former prtmlllvenesa. The shah Is still ex-
ravagantly fond of bon-bons, and aomo
times eats three pounds in a day. Mrs.
Shangley won his undying friendship by
giving a genuine American candy pulling
party one evening In the shah's apartments
at a hotel In Venice. The potentate was
amazed to see the flexible mass worked Into
pretty combination of vivid colors.
ARIS SEES TW0 FREE SHOWS
American Buffalo Give One and a
Bear and Elephant tha
, Other.
(Copyright, 1902, by Tress Publishing Co.)
PARIS, June 7. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Three an
imals, one a native American, the others
naturalized, gave Paris lively emotions
Wednesday. The American beast was an
old, vlctous buffalo, which, when being re
moved from one of the Paris zoos Jumped
out of a boat, swam across the river and
started on a galloping visit to the Latin
quarter. He was only captured after such
a bull fight aa the arenas of Madrid and
Mexico will never duplicate.
Two days later, Just at daybreak, the
street sweeper and first paaaersby were
paralyzed on meeting an elephant and a
bear traveling leisurely and apparently on
the chummiest terms down the Rue de
RlvolL The shop, fortunately, were still
closed.' The animals, which were unaccom
panied, stopped, started again, poked Into
a side street and then returned. The pair
finally arrived at the Place de la Bastile,
where both went Into the canal and drank
as quietly as It they were In the heart of a
Jungle. A big squad of police turned out,
but nobody knew how to tackle the beasts
and aa long as they were harmless the cap
tain hated to order them shot. The crowd
grew to Immense proportions and Its clam
orlng angered tho bear, which grew ugly
and trotted away, preceded, followed and
escorted by a guard of honor of twenty
mounted police. Then a cab came tearing
along with Jimmy Lane, the American
keeper of tha animals, who grabbed the
bear by the scruff of the neck, led him to
where the elephant was contentedly graz'
tng on the flower beds of the square, and
with the aid of volunteers the beast was
haokled and led to a neighboring stable
yard. The keeper explained that ha be
longed to the Barnum 4 Bailey show and
had been sent to deliver the animals, which
had been sold to a French circus and that
during his temporary absence the elephant
had battered down the doors of the shed
where be had been kept over night.

The latest sensa
,e well-supported as-
,oot Eva Humbert was
cot a girl ' at I boy who passed as
a young w. , order to attract wealthy
ultors who v- .ht be fleeced the more
easily.
M. Lanquest, the notary who certified to
tho condition of the Humbert Life Insur
ance company, authenticating the claim of
a capital of 10,000,000 francs (J2.000.000),
whereas no capital ever existed, baa an
nounced that he will make good the wild
cat Institution's deficit of nearly 4,000.000
francs ($800,000.) This step, though seem
ingly voluntary, really was Intended to
save that very Imprudent functionary from
all.
So many high personages have been more
or less compromised in the great swindle
that the public every day feels more and
more certain that many culprits have been
allowed to escape so as to avoid a perturb-
ng public scandal which would equal that
of the Panama Canal company. However,
the police say they have already spent
$60,000 In trying to locate the Humberts,
This money ha been paid out for tele
grams, traveling expenses, etc. According
to the latest police clue the swindlers
touched at Smyrna to coal their yacht, then
at once started away again.
There are two countries from which It
would be difficult to extradite the swlnd-
ers, Argentine and Greece. The Humbert
knew this as well as the authorities and It
la likely they will finally take In one or the
other of the countries, unless Mrs. Hum
bert, who Is a great admirer of Robert
Stevenson, should put Into execution a pet
project of hers to live on some Ignored
Island In the South sea. The only member
of the family who did not flee. Louts d'Au
rlgnac, waa arrested In the United States
on a trumped-up charge that he was sus
pected of having managed some astounding
burglaries by which, despite police guard t
an and dogs, the Humbert Pari residence
and two country castle were rifled of val
uable pictures, stiver, etc, on three suc
cessive nights within ten days of the open
ing of the famous empty safe.
Exact figures show that Mme. Humbert
raised within the laat twenty year 72,000,000
franca ($14,400,000) on tha phantaamto
Crawford Inheritance!. These figures are
exclusive of the many dupes who are keep
ing their losses a secret and also of tho
large houses and the vast landed estate for
which the swindlers never paid, but which
property Is still available.
Although the Humbert lived In a style
which cost them fully $1,000,000 a year, the
examiners of their account think they car
ried away from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000.

that It would lessen the dignity ot the

PATTI HAS A SJTRENUOUS WEEK
Receive Three Snakes a Present
and Is Swindled Oat
of Her Far.
(Copyright. 1902, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, June 7. (New York World Cable-
gram Special Telegram.) Pattl had a ter
rible shock this week. Some fool sent ber
from Mentone a box containing three
snskes, each about a yard long. She
thought she was getting a nice present, and
on opening the box and seeing but dry moss
confidently ran her hand to the bottom Into
cold, slimy, wriggling mas.
She uttered a cry and ran Into another
room and was hysterical for two hcurs. The
nakea crawled about the furniture until
finally they were killed. On examination It
as found that they were not poisonous
reptiles.
Pattl was shrewdly swindled out of a large
part of her wardrobe, including all her furs,
hich were worth a fortune. She sent her
husband to a firm which makes a specialty
of storing furs and other expensive win
ter garments throughout the summer. Her
husband spoke with a pretty girl employe
bo took his order. Later Mme. Pattl re-
reived a telephone message telling her to
prepare her garments for storing, as a man
and a woman would be sent to take them.
The man and woman appeared with a car
riage. Mme. Pattl helped fold and pack for
two hours. After the goods had gone an
other vehicle called, when It was discovered
that the pretty girl after transcribing the
order, had decided that she would care for
those furs herself and left the shop, pre
tending to be sick. The msn who assisted
probably was her lover, who also disap
peared.
Mme. Pattl waa taking tea with the dow
ager duchess of Manchester when she was
notified of her loss. The news fairly dis
tracted her and it is said she cried and
called her husband harsh names, not mind
ing the crowded tea room. The young baron
Is said to have borne the tempest with ad
mirable patience.

premely elegant has ever been given by
Count and Countess Bont de Castellane as-
their dinner In commemoration of the elec
tion of the three Castellane brothers to
Parliament. The most prominent guest
was her Imperial highness, the Grand
Duchess Marie Pavlovna. Others present

and Countess de Chevlgne, Viscount and
Viscountess Vlvler, Countess de Gaynay,
Mrs. Arthur Paget, Mrs. Arapoff, Count de
Lorcncez, Count de Galllftet and Carolus

This Jollification did not prevent the
validation committee of the new Chamber

the documents, that the three elections,
each of which Is separately contested, shall
be further looked Into, it being alleged that
the Castellane used certain persuasive
means dobarred even In these progressive

ROSTAND IS LOSING FAVOR
Chicago Decision Held by Many

PARIS, June 7. (New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram.) After a hot and
Interesting discussion of the Gross-Rostand
law suit In Chicago, which has been occupy
ing the first pages of the biggest news
papers this week, the decision ol the su
preme court has been upheld as equitable
by several, but most of them cite the de
cision as an Instance of American childish
Jingoism. The public, however, was amazed
to discover the strange slmlllarlty of certain
scenes published In parallel columns. At a
committee meeting at the academy the case
was warmly debated, but most of the "Im
mortals" being open to similar convictions
shrugged their shoulders and applauded
Sardou, the prince of plagiarists, when he
said that this law ault was Rostand' final
consecration. '
Coquelln happening to refuse Rostand's
new piece Just at this time Is Interpreted
to mean that the comedian wishes to avoid
sharing In the resulting unpopularity. Ros
tand declined to explain the slmlllarlty and
hurriedly left town to remain until fall,

WHEELING. W. Va., June 7. The strike
ordered by the United Mine Workers of
America to take effect in West Virginia to
day was much more complete In some dis
tricts than expected and less effective In
others than expected. The Incomplete re
ports are conflicting, but on the whole sev
eral thousand more men went out than
was anticipated.
The strike affects not only the Industries
of this state but also the railways and
river navigation. Alt of the local coal road
suffer.
It was ascertained that the operators in
some places had secured many armed guarda
in anticipation of a protracted strike, if
not of violence. In a few places the strik
ing miners were served with notices to
vacate the houses belonging to the coal
companies.
While the etrlke in this state Is generally
regarded as sympathetic with that of Penn
sylvania, there is a general Impression
that the bituminous coal Interests ot other
fates have had their influence In bring
ing on a crista in West Virginia.
While there was various reports of vio
lence during the day, they are not confirmed
by the late advices tonight, but the people
generally In the mining districts are appre
hensive of serious trouble In the future.
Marian Hnna-ed In Effigy.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 7. The hang
ing in effigy of J. Plerpont Morgan, In one
of the streets of South WllHesbarre, by a
crowd of men and boys, was the only Inci
dent to mar the stillness ot the Wyoming
valley this morning. After the effigy had
been hung the crowd cheered and pelted
the object with stone until the police came
along and dispersed the several hundred
persons that made up the throng.
All the mining town surrounding the
Ity are very quiet. The new from Wash
ington that President Roosevelt could not
flnd his way clear to take a hand In bring
ing about peace between the mlnera and
operators waa received here with genuine
disappointment. ' It bad ben strongly
hoped that the president would be able to
find soma means ot opening up a way to
peace.
Today, marks the end of the fourth week
ot the total suspension of coal mining and
the miner and their employers are farther
apart than ever.
President May Take a Hand.
WASHINGTON, June 7. The president
today had a long conference at the White
House with Senator Hanna on the coal
strike.
The president conveyed to Mr. Hanna the
Idea that he would like very much to do
something toward settling the strike. N'oth
lng definite, however, waa decided upon
The president also sent for Carroll D.
Wright, the commissioner of labor, to gst
his views on the situation, and also as to
what might be properly done by the govern
ment looking to a settlement of the contro
versy. It Is probable that other conferences will
be held and the president kept advised ot
the situation. He will be in readiness at
any time to extend aid if It Is found that
he can be of service In settling the differ
ences that exists between the operators and
the miners.
Without an Audience.
CLARKSBURG, W. Va June 7. Reports
from all the coal mlnea In this district
received today show that there Is not an
Idle plant, there being less than one-half
of 1 per cent among the 10,000 miners out.
This waa to have been the central point
of the strike demonstration today, but the
agitators found an audience of less than
fifty persons at the place of meeting and

Wilson was coming toward the canal and
Hadley going out, "both loaded. Juat befor
reaching the canal and when about oppo
site Wilson, Hadley waa given order by a
tug to go to Superior. Immediately It
sheered oft for the Superior entry and
crashed directly Into Wilson.
Steamer Quickly Sink.
Wilson went down so quickly that It
did not seem possible to save a life. On
moment the two boats were plowing
through the water 200 yards apart; th
next the members of the crew could be seen
throwing off their clothing and Jumping
Into the water. One man on Wilson,
with great presence of mind threw lit pre
servers to several struggling In the water.
The crew of Hadley also threw preserver

Immediately after the collision Wilson

The plunge of Wilson released Had

neath the water It spouted like a submarine
explosion.
Two men that Jumped last were appar
ently clinging to the hull when it went
down. They were struggling there Just be
fore the plunge and could not be seen aft
erward. They were probably drawn under.
Steering Apparatus Fall to Work.
Hadley's steering apparatus seemed to be
out of order after the collision and it
swung round a circle several times and
seemed utterly helpless. However, Its
crew did good work. In a few minutes It
wa evident Hadley was going down and
the crew could be seen lowering boats.
Some of them got into boats, but when
Hadley sunk to within a foot of ita deck
It seemed to stop and the men clambered
back aboard. The race of the life saving
crew and the tugs for the wreck was thrill
ing. Hadley would not have made th
shore had It not been for the tuga, and
that probably means that so many -mora
live were saved. The 'life saving crew did
quick and reliable service, picking up tha
men. Hadley bad a bard run for
shore and did not win the race by any great
margin, for a moment after Its bow went
on the bottom Just south ot the canal pier
Its stern began to settle and finally went
down. A the stern settled to the bottom
the bow lifted a little and th water en
gulfed the vessel from amidships to stern.
Fully half of th way In from the scene of
the accident to the point of landing, bait

members of the crew that were compelled
to stay with it, took the upper works.
Wilson is in eighty feet of water and only
a few feet of its spar can b seen. Wil

YAQUI TROUBLE AT AN END
Indiana Ara Conquered by Heavy
Losses Sastalnad la First
Fight.
TUCSON. Aris., Jun 7. Advice from
Hermoaolll today say that the Yaqul trouble
is practically settled and that travel I
perfectly safe throughout Sonora. Governor
Torre Is in th field with a sufficient fore
to quell any rebellion that may arise. Th
report of the killing of the son of Rlcardo
Johnson, a well known mining man, by
Yaqut Indiana is denied at Hermosolll, ac
cording to latest advice.
The first fight. In which the force under
Governor Izabel killed twenty Yaqul, prac
tically ended the trouble. It I estimated
that not over 100 Yaquls ar out and th
are in biding from the troops. All that re.
mains la to round up these and then tha
trouble will be at an end.
