Countess Boni de Castellance (formerly Anna Gould, entered a plea for divorce. Represen tatives of the countess and the count appeared before Judge Henry Diettes, of tbe Court of First Instance, who, in conformity with the French law, endeavored to arrange a conciliation before allowing a definite suit to pro ceed. It is said on unquestionable authority that Judge Diette's efforts were not successful, the countess ab solutely declined to resume her rela tions with her husband, and that after repeated but vain attempts by Count de Castellane's advisers to arrange a setllemnt, the representatives of the count and countess left the court and that the suit will 'proceed. Another judicial eiTbrt at reconcilia tion will almost certainly be made be fore the suit comes to trial in the or dinary course. No decision has been reached rela tive to the eventful custody of the children of tlie count i . . . , . . k ,. aim countess nut ttiey being under age. Will for the present natu rally remain with their mother. Friends of the Count and Counicss de Castellance express little hope that any adjustment of their differences will be brought about, but as divorce proceedings under the French law are very lenghty, new developments may occur before tlte case comes up for trial. A decree cannot be pronounced under from three to six mouths. Packers Agent Under Eire. Chicago, Special. The only witness on the stand in the meat packers' plea for immunity case was C. M. Mc Farlaue, office manager for Morris & Co. His evidence related to the man ner in which information Avas given to the agents of the government in the ofhec of Morris & Co.

San Francisco, Special. Three meD were killed and 58 injured, mostly by suffocation, in a fire that damaged the United States transport Meade $2,00t as she lay at the Folsom street piei Thursday morning. For three hours after midnight, the forward hold of the big troop ship was a suffocating furnace from which firemen wer borne in an almost con j!.. . I M iinuous stream. iteiays or men promptly stepped forward to take the places of those who were carried out unconscious. Tons of high explosives were loaded in the after part of the vessel and the firemen worked with the possibility ever before them that the flames would reach this compartment. Owing probably to the fact that an infernal machine was found in the bunkers of the transport Thomas on her last voyage, the rumor was cir culated that a plot had been laid to fire the Meade at sea, as she was to have departed for Manila Friday. Major C. A. Devol chief of the trans port service, is investigating this theory with great care. He is having the cargo taken from compartment No. 2, where the fire started to ascer tain the real cause of the disaster. The flames did not spread from com partment No. 2. Dock Captain Dun believes that some of the officers had packed matches in their trunks and that some of these were ignited in loading. A thousand pieces of baggaga were ruined. Trunks, boxes, and barrels were water-soaked or burned. Wear ing apparel and household furnishings were ruined. One officer places the damage to personal effects at $50,000. The vessel is not seriously in jured and will be ready to sail for Manila on Saturday. For N. & W. Stock Fraud. Knoxville, Tenn., Special. C. S. Northrop, accused of using the Unit ed States mails to defraud was bound over by the United States Court at Omaha, Neb. He gave bond in the sum of $2,000.

Shipping Bill in Senate. The Senate pas-l thirty or forty misceilaneuo bills and devoted sev eral hours to the consideration of the Shipping bill. Bills were passed au thorizing the elect ion ot a Delegate m Congress from Alaska ; authorizing the construction of a revenue eutter vessel for duty at Savannah, Ga.; authorizing the construction of a bridge across St. Andrew's Bay, Fla , by the Birmingham, Columbus & St. Andrews Hail road Company, and pro viding for ligbthois!, fih cultural stations, etc j Most of the tiajb devoted to the shipping bill was Consumed by Mr. Penrose in a pet iwch in supjwrt of the measure. Mr. Tillman's resolution calling on the President to sed the senate all the letters from the United States minister to SauU Domingo to the State Department ii 3004, Avas refer red to the commit ee on foreign re lations. Mr. Tillmiu made no obiect- tion, but said thai he onlv wauted light as to whether Santo Domingo had been coerced into the present ar- I rangement. He said the newspapers had said that this as the case, while Mr. Patterson had said that the ar rangement was made at the solici tation of the Domviicau government. After Mr. Tillman had made a brief statement concerning the bill? hold- ing railroads responsible for injuries to employes, Mr. L kins withdrew las motion for their reference to the com mittee on the judiciary, thus leaving them with, the committee on inter State commerce. Mr. Tillman said he had not been aware of the frequent change of ref erence for the billa. He said that he had been instrumental in the effort to secure the change of reference be cause the iuter-Sttte commerce com mittee was so inuth engaged on the railroad rate question. At 2 o'clock the shop subsidy bill was taken up. Mr. Bacon said that he would be inclined to support the shipping bill if i$? operations were confined to granting aid in the way of liberal mail subsidies to steamship lines between ports of the United States and other ports Avith which there is now no direct communication. such, for instancv as the ports of South America, lie believed that such lines should be encouaged. Mr Spooner suggested that the bill would afford encouragement only to largo concerns, as vessels would receive sub sidy for but 10 years. Such vessels would then come into competition with subsidized siips, with the in evitable result, as he thought, of fore ing their scale to the larger compan ies operating subsidized vessels. Mr. Gallinger intimated a willing ness to amend the bill to meet the objection Mr. Penrose declared that for 20 years after 1873 no trans-Atlantic vessels had been launched on the Del eware and that the record for thirty years was only ten while the Clyde had launched hundreds. He contend ed that American labor should be protected in ihe ship yards as well as in the factories. Mr. tarter expressed tlie opinion that the bill would be endorsed by the entire Rocky Mountain region. Mr. Pejorose declared the report that there was a ship building trust to be "a figment of the imagination. Rate Bill in House. Considerable fault was found with the railroad rate bill in the House, considering the fact that it is the measure of both parties. Mr. Little- held, of Maine, opened up with a whirlwind speech in which he pointed out the drastic and far-reaching effect of its provisions. The committee, he said, had gone much farther than the President has recommended and much farther than he was willing to go. He will not vote for the bill. Mr. Littlefield said he would .dem onstrate the incapacity ot the inter State commerce commission, and from their own records. "And," he added, "I will give them that square deal that we hear talked of so nmeh and see so little practiced." The com mission had been overruled two-thirds of the time, he said. The bill provided seven commis sioners and made four a quorum and it was possible for the President to remove three. and leave all the power m the majority ot the remaining four. It would be then that this dangerous power wouldrise up and curse its makers. Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, ridiculed the alleged popular demand for the legislation, picked flaws in the -construction of the bill, complained be cause no amendments were to be. tl lowed, and concluded with tbe state ment hat he should do his best to get the bill out of the House at the earliest possible moment, which was taken to man that he would vote, for it, . Col. Mosby at White House. Washington, Special. Col. John S. Mosby, who commanded an indejen dent Confederate eavalry force dur ing the Civil War, presented to the President a letter written by General Jos. Wheeler, a week before his death, recommending the appointment - ( or an Alabaman man to a tetieml ci- J nee. xne rresiaeni promisea ia give the matter consideration. 1 rr T"k ' 1 x . " i .

' tot Executive of the Laws. Raleigh, Special. Governor Glenn sends the following letter to every Sheriff in the State: "It is mv duty tc see that all laws are properly exe cuted and, as some newspapers have those arising under tie 'Watts and Ward acts, are not being enforce1 by county officers, I write this personal letter to urge vbu and your depu ties to do everything iu your power to rigidly and promptly o.vccuta all laws. The best way t suonresa crime is to bring about quick detec tion and sure punishment. Counties in which peace and good order most prevail are those in which officers are most efficient and watchful. I would call your attention especially to sec tions 3o33. 3o34 and 352G of the new code, or chapter 49S, sections 2, 5, 6. T and 8, acts of 3905 setting forth your duty, and trust you will let noth ing interfere with your promptly car rying out those provisions by having warrants sworn out and executed. "Our State was never more pros perous in its history than it is today, so let none of us, upon whom has been placed the duty of preserving or der, shirk this dutr, but let us do all we can to bring all criminals to speedy justice by offering rewards, or by asking for requisitions from other States, when needed. I assure you, you shall have my hearty assistance m seeing that every citizen aud com munity shall be protected from law lessness and violation of plain sta tues." The Governor requests all newspa pers and citizens who know of any officers refusing or neglecting to dis charge their duties not to make i general reflection on all officers, by saying they fail to do their duty, but to call his attention to the officers so acting, and he will at once put the matters in the hands of the solicitor of the district for investigation and, if round to be true, he will see that said officer is prosecuted and punished according to law. The Governor does not think it is right to make faithful officers suffer for the wrong doing of bad ones, hence his suggestion that charges be made special and not gen eral.

He then brought suit to recover the property and the court held that he has a right to the property, and has sc ordered.
