GENEVA, Dec. 23.—Crown Princess Louise of Saxony is now at the Hotei Geneva here with M. Gorin, professor of French. The princess received a visit today from: two archdukes sent by Emperor Francis Joseph, asking her to return home at once, Details of the Escapade. BERLIN, Dec. 23.—Further details of the escapade of the crown princess of Saxony, who left Salzburg in the night of December 11-12, unknown to aay one of her family, were published today.

According to these details, the crown prince, who had been visiting at Salz burg, Emperor Franz Josef{’s palace, left for Dresden on December 2, having re ceived bad news from home. On his ar rival in Dresden he dismissed the French tutor of his children. Awaited by Dismissed Tutor. On December 9 the crown princess, accompanied by a court lady and the court marshal, started for Salzburg on the pretence that she wished to visit her sick father, the Grand Duke Ferdinand of Tuscany. The dismissed French tutor awaited her at Salzburg. This fact led to severe quarrels be. tween the crown princess and her fa ther. The dispute culminated on the night of December li, when the crown princess, without notifying anyone, wit} the exception of her eldest brother, whe accompanied her, left the palace at 3 o'clock. Her absence was not discov ered till 8 o'clock in the morning when her maid found her mistress’ bed was empty. op og hifi Lely of Her, Pursuers. a The crown princess first went to Mu mich. She avoiled all court society as she is enceinte. She later went to Ge neva. Falsifying dispatches from Brus sels misled her pursuers. The court marshal and chamber lady were hurried to Brusselg, but their trip was upavail ing. A A search throughout the various cities of Europe was instituted, and lively telegraphic correspondence occurred be iween the Dresden court and the offi sials of various citles. The missing

own princess, however, was not dis covered until today.

The crown princess has long shocked the members of the Saxon court by her utter disregard of what they econsid ered the proper court etiquette, and by her democratie ideas. Some years ago she arranged with an American dentist to teach her to ride a bicycle, and on a number of occasions went rid ing with him in costumes which were extremely chic.

The “Lokal Anzieger” says the crown princess of Saxony conceived a attach ment for the young French tutor of her children. The tutor was summarily dis missed on December 2. The crown princess afterward met him at Sailz burg, and accompanied him to Geneva It is surmised the pair have now lef ihat place. Various Acccunts of Lscapade.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Mayor Low an nounced today that he would appoint Gen. Francis V. Greene as police com missioner of the city to succeed Col onel Partridge, who retires from office January 1. The appointment will be made for one year, subject to removal at will by the mayor or Governor Odell. The sal ary is 37.5600 a year. The commission will not be issued until the day General Greene takes office. Gen. FRANCIS V. GREENE,

Mayor Low this morning made the an nouncemrent that General Greene had consented to mecept. the appointment. Satisfactory to Republicans. General Greene is a Republican in politics, although he has not recently been active in the organization. He was not indorsed by the Republican county committee, but it is understood that his appointment will be satisfac tory to the leader. General Greene served a part of 1900 as president of the county committee, and managed the local campalgn of that year. After being graduated from West Point, General Greene served some time in the regular army, then resigned to enter business as a civil engineer. He was for several years connected with the asphalt business, and was president of one of the big companies. Military Attache to Russia. General Greehe is the author of many magazine articles and books on strategi cal development in modern warfare. He was at one time military attache to Russia. He also served as grand marshal of the second McKinley inaugural parade. SYNDICATE TO RELIEVE COAL FAMINE To Co-operate With Local Dealers and, If Neces sary, Make Importations. Although their organization was not perfected at the meeting at the Rigas House last night, the prompt and busi ness-like manner in which an attack was made upon the coal situation by the “Citizens' Syndicate Coal Committee” gives promise of even better results in Nraiging the coal famine than had been hoped for prior to the gathering. De spite the short notice given every mem ber of the committee was present or accounted for, and a number of citizens aroused to the emergency were present to lend encouragement to the enterprise. The meeting was informal in charac ter, but was replete with earnestness and a determination upon the part of those present to act. The poor are pro vided for, the rich can take care of them selves, but the man of moderate means, ‘which represents the vast proportion of the community, and the small manufac turer whose existence depends upon his ability to secure fuel at a moderate price, are compelled to consider themselves among the fortunate if they succeed in obtaining coal at $10 or $12 a ton. This was the belief of every gentleman pres ent, and is the key to the tangle which the committee proposes to unravel. Several coal dealers and members of the coal exchange were present and ad dressed the meeting at some length. There was not a man present who had not some valuable contribution to make to the store of knowledge. EVE HUMBERT DECLINES 10 BE SET AT LIBERTY Reported That She Refuses to Leave Her Mother. MADRID, Dec. 23.—The French charge d'affaires having obtained an order for bidding interviews with the Humberts, the notorious Paris swindlers, little truthful news is obtainable. Rumors, which appear correct, are broadcast today to the effect that the au thorities are willing to liberate Mlle. Eve Humbert. under supervision, but that she has refused to leave her mother. PARIS, Dec. 23.—A Madrid dispatch to the ‘Matin’ says the extradition of the ITumberts will take five or six days. Parayre, the former steward of the Humberts, who was arrested at Rouen, nas not tasted food since his arrest, for ty-eight hours ago. Food will be admin istered by force unless he consents to ake it. CARNEGIE NOT ALLOWED T0 GO OUT AT NIGHT Reports That the Ironmaster Has Saf fered a Relapse Denied by Family. NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Because An drew Carnegie did not attend the dinner of the New England Society last night it was reported that he had suffered relapse, due to his recent illness before leaving England for this country. At Mr. Carnegie’'s house this morning it was stated that he was not ill and that he took his customary walk and drive yesterday. On account of condi tions, perfectly natural after a long ill ness, it was thought best for Mr. Car negie not to go out at night. Members of the family said that he was getting along splendidly and would soon be as strong as he was before his indisposition in London. AIRSHIP PRIZE TO BE SEARED BY BROTHERS PARIS, Dec. 23.—It is announced that the prize offered by the Academy of Sci ences for the best work in the construc tion of airships will be divided between the brothers, Colonel and Major Renard, the well-known aeronauts. The members of the committee are prepared to act in behalf of those who are unable to obtain coal at reasonable prices in a co-operative movement for relieving the distress. To Import Coal. If this method should not prove satis factory they are prepared to furnish the necessary money to bring coal to Wash ington and sell it at a reasonable ad vance over the cost. This will be done purely as a relief measure and only a fair return asked on the money in vested. But little hope is entertained of secar ing additional supplies of anthracite in this country and an investigation will immediately be begun with a purpose of securing definite information as to the price at which coal can be landed here from abroad. Facts were presented tending to prove that so far as soft coal is concerned the prices that prevail here at present are unreasonable, exorbitant, and the enforcement of these terms upon the public is an imposition. Where the fault lies remains to be determined. One of the committee informed those present of a point within several hundred miles of Weshington where soft coal was obtaln able at $2.25 a ton in any guantit~, with cheap and unlimited transportation facilities to the city. ae ah A aa ai hand Lc iad a ae a Act iad Ae had Sgt iad hr al Sgt ad har Jad At ad PR WAT W EEN wr arwhnhw rar wiTrw iE vw rw vit wii ES iTS “FAIR AND IMPART IAL.” OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WASHINGTON, D.

Leyh, the Williamsburg truss manufacturer, who died at his home, 73 Broadway, on De cember 2, after drinking a glass of poisoned beer, went on this morning. Eighteen witnesses had been summoned to appear before Coroner Williams in Brooklyn at 10 o'clock. One was the of fice boy of the truss man, Robert West phal. The police closely questioned him at the time of Leyh’s death, and finally ar rested him on the charge of stealing $27 of the old man's money.

Subsequently Westphal was arraigned in the Adams Street police court on the charge of larceny, but District Attorney Clark said there was not sufficient evi dence to hold him, and the boy was dis charged. POSTOFFICE OFFICIALS APPEAR IN NEW LIGHT Finely Devised Scheme Behind Plan to Connect Letter Boxes—City Streets Are Menaced. Postoflice Department officials have had submitted to them a scheme for connecting all city drop letter boxes with electrical lock appliances. Th plan is an elaborate one, and its purpose is Lo operate as a check upon letter collectors which will prevent thems from overlooking letter boxes along their routes. In all large cities it frequently happens that a collector will, either unintentionally or through willful neglect, fail to visit all the boxes on his route. The proposed system is one which will require him to open ail boxes. In order to do this it will be neces sary to connect the boxes along a cer tain route by electric wires. The ap pliance is so adjusted that, for instance, in order to open the tenth box in the circuit, it is first necessary to unlock the ninth. Thus if a collector should visit the eighth box on his route and should fail te visit the ninth passing on to the tenth, as now sometimes hap pens, it would be impossible for him tc open the tenth box until he had first re turned and unlocked the ninth, and so on throughout his collection roure. So far as the plan itself is concerned, it is an admirable one. and is said to have been worked out so that it will operate satisfactorily. However, back of the scheme, which is intended to ap peal to the public and to afford an ex ample of the progressiveness and ad vanced modern methods of the Postoflice Department, there is a hidden purpose, not at first apparent, CARACAS TC _.R LA GUAIRA HARBOR PRECEDENTS TO GOVERN THE PRESIDENTS AGTION Mr. Cleveland Once Assumed Rcle of Arbitrator.

DECISION AGAINST ITALY Chief Executive, Should Venezuelan Case Be Taken Up, Would Only Have Time t9 Review Briefs. Although there is opposition in some circles here to the acceptance of the post of arbiter between the powers and Venezuela on the part of Presideat Roosevelt, those favoring the step and those who believe that it will eventually be taken have already cast about for precedents that may be presumed to govern. Thus it is shown that in 1390 it was agreed between Chile and Colombia that ‘the President of the United States should arbitrate their difficulties, if no other agreement could be reached. Cleveland as Arbitrator. Another settlement was effected, how ever. in 1894 President Cleveland acted as arbi‘rator of 'a dispute between Italy and Colombia involving the debts of a Signor Cerutti, a subject of Italy. The decision was against Cerutti. In 1874 United States Minister Par tridge and the Itallan envoy to Brazil i were the arbitrators of British claims against Brazil, 8nd United States Minis ter Logan arbitrated a dispute between Bolivia and Chile, and another between Chile and Peru. it is understood that if President Roosevelt shall accept the post he will a be able to devote his time to the taking of testimony and other work in volved in the undertaking, but that this will be delegated to others, who will brief the facts and arguments on both sides, and submit them to him. May Call Americans. President Roosevelt having from the outset expressed a desire that The Hague tribunal might be chosen to sr bitrate the differences, it is not unlikely that he will eall to his aid the Ameri ‘can representatives on that tribunal. The delegates of the United States are Melville W. Fuller, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court; John W. Griggs, formerly Attorney General of the United States; George Gray, United States Circuit Judge, now a member of the anthracite coal strike arbitration commission, and Oscar S. Straus, for merly United States minister to Tur key. It is not believed that Judge Gray could assume the post in addition to the one he already occupies, and some one else might therefore be selected in his place. President Roosevelt undoubtedly wiuld require The assistance of some official of the State Department will versed in all the devious developments of the pening controversy, and such a man Assistant Secretary of State Hill is known to be. He will, therefore, take a prominent part in the adjudicatinn of the affair. EB official of the Department of Justice, with all the intricacies of international law at his fingers’ ends, would also seem called for, and Attorney General Knox has been mentioned in this connection. In order to connect the various drop letter boxes with each other by electric wires, it will be necessary to tear up streets and lay conduits. In most cities there is always great difficulty experi enced in obtaining consent for work of thls character, as citizens usually pro test against having their streets in up heaval. Under sanction of government authori ty and for the ostensible purpose of im proving the efficiency of the postal ser vice, it would be a comparatively casy matier for contractors to obtain au thority in almost any city to tear up streets and construct conduits, Once this permission is granted other companies desiring the use of underground wires would be able to take advantage of the construction of such conduits for their own use. In other and plainer words the finely contrived scheme to promote the ef ficiency of the postal service is one to enable private corporations to ob tain the use of public sireets through which to place underground wires, and by means without which they would not be able to accomplish thelr designs. It is said that certain high officials of the Postoflice Department are interested in the proposed scheme, and are using their best endeavors to have it inaugurated. This is another feature of the alleged ‘maladministration of Postoffice affairs tha Congress may be called upon t investigate. Italian Cruiser Threatened to Hold Up American Steamer, But Reconsidered Intention When Vigorous Protest Was Made. British Warships Have Cap tured Two Schooners Owned by a German and Carrying American Cargo. French Press Hits at Kaiser.

LA GUAIRA, Dec. 23.—The German cruiser Gazeile appeared hers yesterday and left immediately. The British eruiser Tribune also left towing captured Ven ezueclan schooners The Italian cruiser Giovanni Bausan is now the only warship here enforcing the blockade. Her captain notified the American consul and the captain of the gunboat Marietta that the Ameri can steamship Caracas, of the Red D Line, which is expected today, could not enter the harbor of La Guaira. The action of the captain is considered ille gal and hostile to American interests. Vigorous Protest Made. Later the captain of the Marietta and the legation officials at Caracas who had received a protest from the Red D Line against the action of the Italian captain, took vigorous action toward the Italian officer and obtained permission for the American steamer to enter the harber of La Guaira without trouble. The British warships have captured two schooners, the Maralia Luisa, com ing from Higuerote, and the Castor, from Maracaibo. Both vessels belong to a German named Stolk, and they were carrying goods and property owned by the American firm of Boulton Co., and the German firm of Blohm Co. FRENCH PRESS TAKES FLING AT GERMANY PARIS, Dec. 23. —Commenting on the Venezuelan affair the “Petit Journal” says the Kaiser evidently set great store on involving King Edward in his schemes, bu there is no proof tact the King did see this from the firsi. By hanging back and refusing to go hand-in-hand with the Emperor, the King has given the Kaiser a disagreeable lesson. The “Matin” expresses the opinien that Germany and the Kaiser are be having like parvenus, who, having made a great deal of money in a short lime, want everybody to know it. Germany now has a navy wkick she is using to astonish the world in general, and the weak nations in particular. CHINESE POWERLESS TO RESIST RUSSIAN DEMANDS Japan Expected to Make a Protest Whose Ineffectiveness is Fore shadowed. PEKIN, Dec. 23.—The Chinese minis ters admit that they are powerless tg resist the demands of the Russians, whe insist on having their own customs of ficials at Dalny. The Russians will allow a Chinese commissioner outside the city to colleet duties on Chinese northbound imports, but refuse to have Chinese customs of ficers on each side of the Siberian bor der, as provided in the secret rallwav agreemcut of 189€, which is the basis of their claim for independent cu<toms of fice at Liz luy. Up to the present England is the only country that has opposed the Russian plan, but it is expected Japan, who hitherto has been unsuccessful in in teresting the anathetic high Chinese ministers in any plan for the de facto restoration of Manchuria, or in the real pature of the present conditions there, is expected to make a protest, It is not expected, however, that such a protest will have any effeet. QUESTION OF ISSUING A LIQUOR LICENSE Commissioners Have Hearing Regard ing Saleon in Georgetown. The District Excise Board yesterday granted a hearing on the application for a liquor license for a wholesale house on M Street, beiween Thirty-first and Thir ty-second Streets northwest. The right of the board to issue the license was called in question by Mr. A. E. Sheoe maker, attorney for the Anti-Saloon League, the Rev. Dr. Newtsca, of the First Congregational Church; the Rev. J. G. Butler, the Rev. F. D. Power, and others. It appears the liquor house is within 400 feet of a vranch of the Central Union Mission, which claims priority of loca tion in the square. Mr. Shoemaker sald there was some doubt in the legal rul ings of the past as to whether or not branch mission constitutes a bar to the establishment of a barroom within the 400-foot limit. He asked that the mat. ter be referred te AB. Duvall, the Cor poration Counsel, for an opinion by which the beard could be guided in such cases in the future.

EE a a a a a WASHINGTON IN GRASP OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS ‘Happy, Jostling Stream of Humanity Crowds Streets and Stores Are Thronged With People.

ele i T: a— With Christmas but two days off the mad rush of holiday shoppers, the hap py, gay, jostling stream of humanity which crowds the streets and stores seems to grow in size and strength with each passing moment. Today the city ie filled with this joyous throng. The streets are crowced as they have not been thronged for monihs; the stores and shops are actually overrun. Every where can be found the cheer and gayety eof Yuletide. ol ES mint w¥s ALS Fr EE i

The fever of Christmas shopping which at present prevails is similar to an «pi demic. The whole world becomes a victim to it. With a small beginning it spreads like wildfire and soon hecomes a ragirg epidemic. Its symptoms are a wild desire to spend pennies that were saved and dollars that were not saved. Its gradual stages of progress lead to rapid mental calculation on the part of parents, and figuring that is not so rapid by children. It generally has its ecli max in department stores and bargain counters.

\R A Features of the Season. NS There are certain features of this sea son that are indispensable to make it cheerful and gay. The faker with his toys, the bundle-laden shopper, the dis play of holly, mistletoe and evergreens, all go to make up its characteristics.

It is stated that the present year is one of the most prosperous ever expe rienced by Washington merchants. The sales are heavier and the articles sold more costly. They attribut: this to the generally prosperous condition of the country.

From morning until night, the store is crowded and jammed with a good-natured crowd seeking what ever they may find. And in this store they can find almost anything.

Forced to Stop.

As early as Thursday Shaw Berry, the jewelers, were forced to stop re ceiving orders for engraving because of the heavy demand made upon them. Their store looks like a bargaim counter sale, so great are the crowds that con tinually pour in and out of the doors.

Music lovers are reaping a harvest at Sanders Stayman's. The firm devoted much time to the preparations for the rush of the Christmas crowds, and their efforts have been rewarded by the patronage of the public. In this house can be found a fine display of musical instruments, the lot being a special one for the benefit of holiday shoppers.

If you desire to main a gift of shoes or footwear of any sort, it is certain that your present will be appreciated by the recipient, For the benefit of thoss

a Ss UNKNOWN ROBBERS KILL AGED MAN AND HIS WIFE 1 Safe Found Op2n—No Clue to Miscreants. boil 1 ®5 d SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 23.—Judge J. A. Lewis, a pioneer of this section, and seventy-six years old, and his aged wife, were murdered Friday night by unknown robbers, who after a struggle brained the old man with an axe and then killed the wife by beating her to deagh with a club. d ren i

The tragedy occurred near Almira, Lin coln county. The double murder was coolly planned, The object was doubtless robbery, as the judge was worth $20,000 or $25,000, and was supposed to have money in his safe.

1 1 The theory is that the crime was com mitted by some visitor who came on a pretended business trip. The safe was found open and had evidently been un locked by Mrs. Lewis, as she alone was able to work the combination. The hand of the judge, palzied with age, was un able to turn the tumblers successfully.

FLED FROM HOSPITAL A young colored woman, giving her name as Mary Jones, who was found un conscious in Thirty-sixth Street last night, disappeared from the Georgetown Hospital shortly after being revived. She was alone but a short time, and it is regarded ae remarkable that she was able to dress herself and get so quickly away in her weakened condition. 3

A O H OFFICERS a merry crowd intent on gelting some thing nice for something little. A gen eral stock of goods, from toys and jew elry to housefurnishings, has been laid in, and is prettily displayed on the counters and in the windows of the store. The mere name of the King's Palace is enough to attract the crowds. But whether this has been the magnet, or whether it has been the fact that you get your money's worth, is an open question. It is a fact that something has had a magnetic influence. The crowds that fill the store will bear testimony to this. A fine variety of goods is on sale, and is being eagerly snapped up by the vast throngs. Jeweliy Galore. There is probably no more attractive window In the city than that of Castel berg's. Hundreds of articles of jewelry are in view of the passing throngs. The array is glittering, and all day long is the cynosure, of many eyes. Christmas novelties in jewelry of al most every description are included in the stock. This store is one of the havens for the sighing swain, or the young wo man with lovesick tendencies. The gift that would be pleasing to either can beg found here. “The Busy Corner’ is the way Kanns describes their place of business at Eighth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, That the name is not a misnomer is tes tified to by the constant streams that pass in and out of the doors. Indeed, to make one’s way in and out of the throngs around this corner, it is well to have some knowledge of navigation. Kanns is a department store, as every Washingtonian knows, and what they don’t gel! there would be hard to tell. And it would be just as hard to tell what they do sell, for almost anything can be bought. Like an Avalanche. At the next corner can be found Saks’ big stores. Along Pennsylvania Avenue the crowds sweep like an avalanche, and then they strike the Saks stores. Their attention is attracted by the fine display of everything in the windows, and the avalanche suspends business for a few moments while the Saks stores are in vestigated. All day long the people are seen going in and some time later make their exit, laden with bundles. Not far from here, on Seventh Street, are located Lansburgh Co.., who make a boast of having the interest of the public at heart. And they have. Theirs is a sort of a novelty store.

THE ARGHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY DEAD Last lllness Dates From Cor onation Services. LONDON, Dec. 23.—The Rev. Fred erick Temple, the Archbishop of Canter bury, who has been iil with a nervous affection for some time, died at 8:36 o'clock this morning. The end was peace ful. The archbishop has not been a well man since before the coronation of King Edward. He has been a sufferer from nervousness for several years past, and his affection reached a climax at the coronation. When his duties of receiving the King's oath had been completed, the archbishop had to be led from the Abbey, he was so weak. He was con fined to his room for some weeks, but seemed to be regaining his health, when he suffered a relapse about three weeks ago. He sank quickly and has been hov ering between life and death for a fort night past Dr. Temple's Career. ig wr BN NT Aris Wh a i an rg Dr. Temple was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury and primate of all Eng land December 22, 1896. His rise to this highest position in the Church of Eng land, while gradual, was a record of bril liant work. He was born at Santa Maura, Ionian Islands, November 30, 1821. He came of a weil-known family, his father being Major Octavius Temple, late governor of Sierra Leone. The archbishop was educated at Blun 'dells School, Tiverton, Devon: he then ‘went to Balliol College, Oxford, from which he graduated with high hono:s. He was elected fellow of Balliol Col lege on Blundell Foundation in 1843, and acted as principal of Kneller Hall from 1848 till 1856; then became her majesty’'s inspector of training colleges. This position he held until 1858, when he was appointed head master of the Rugby. Bishop of London. In 1868 the archbishop began his life as a churchman when he took up the du ties of Bishop of Exeter. In 1885 he was called to a larger field, and appointed Bishop of London. His work in this capacity won for him the confidence and esteem of his fellow churchmen. When, in 1896, Archbishop Benson died, Dr. Temple was appointed to succeed him as primate of the church. The archbishop’'s work was mainly preaching, although he did some writing. His best-known publications are: “Ser mons at Rugby School,” ‘Bampton Lec tures,” and tracts and pamphlets.
