IS. Thr note on the proposed International congress to clear up the Balkan situation has been delivered, ana according to creditable authority, contains no conclusive answer regarding tho program of discussion suggested by the other powers. It merely In augurates a new phase or negotiations, which will probably hang oh foi weeks. Reports, received here from Vienna say that Austria-Hungary adheres to Its determination not to discuss tho Justification of the annexation of the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Tho Servian legation here was virtually stormed today by a delegation 01 unemployed, who wanted to enlist, with Servla for the predicted war with Austria.

This arose from the publication in the morning papers of the statement, attributed to the secretary of the legation, to the ecect that ap plicants would bo -enrolled In tae Servian army as soon as the Austrian-Servian negotiations, which were now sharply strained, were broken off. The legation disavowed this statement today, and said on the contrary it did not think there would be any war. ST. PETERSBURG. Nov.

Nov. 18. David Rothschild, president of the Federal Bank of this city, which closed in 1904. died in Sing Sing prison today, where he was serving a sentence for his connection with one of the most remarkable instances of "high finance" ever known. He still had a year and a half to serve.

Rothschild was charged with misappropriating $200,000 of the bank's funds. At the time of the Federal Bank failure, the Globe Security company, another of Rothschild's concoms, also failed. Hundreds of small Investors in tho central states bought bonds from the Globe under promise of high rates of Interest and these lost practically all their money, and much suffering was the result of the failure. ABRUZZI HAS HED TO THE GUY LIFE All Signs Point to Breaking of Engagement With Miss Elk-ins Question of "Dot" An-noyed Girl's Father. ROME, Nov.

IS. The Duke de Abruzzl has lapparently given up all plans he may have had to marry Miss Katherlne Elklns, the American heiress. He Is at Turin and lui gone in within the last few days for the g-y-est of gay bachelor life. He attends the theater evev even ins, sometimes giving little partus himself and afterward is either guest or host at supper with merry gather ings of the smartest young people ol the city. He Is having a thoroughly good time of a sort which, while harmless.

Is rarely sought by young men who are engaged to marry. Whllo no direct statement has come from the duke himself as to his re nunciation of Miss Elkins or vice versa those who are most Intimate with him are freely announcing that the marriage Is off and that Senator Elklns was telling the truth without any, reservations when ho announced in Washington Sunday that no engagement existed between his daughter and Abruzzl. This Is the way the duke's friends are expressing the situation ana their expressions have a sort of ducal ring which gives the Impression that they are authorized, if not dictated by the duke himself: "The marriage has been abandoned on account of insurmountable diffi culties raised by the Elkins family." The duke himself refuses to say a word one way or another. But the change in his manner of life within the last week or so seems to tell the plain story. A few months ago, when prepara tlons for the marriago were progress ing with apparent smoothness, he rather held himself aloof from society.

While he went about, of course, he paid little or no attention to the women of his social rank. Now, how ever, many of the prettiest and most popular belles of Turin are Included In his motoring ami theatre expeditions, and Abruzzl appears no longei to be oblivious to their smiles. His conduct Is exactly that of an aerage young man who Is setting out eithe. to celebrate a wished-for freedom or to forget an unfortunate love affair. Senator Elkins' announcement that no engagement exists was no great surprise.

Those In a position to know have felt sure for a week or more that there would be no marriage, although they knew positively that the young duke and the beautiful American girl had been engaged. There were too many obstacles for the marriage to have been reached successfully. In the first place, the queen mother, Margherita, was unalterably opposed to it. While it Is true that King Victor Emanuel and tjueen Elena, the actual rulers, did not oppose the union and. In fact.

Queen Elena strongly espoused the cause of Miss Elklns the queen mother's family influence has been too great for all of them. Again, there was the question of the "dot." Despite the Duke d'Abruzzi's own wealth and high position, ho could not break precedent by forego ing a dot. and therefore one was asked which was very large, commensurate with his rank and name. Uri fortunately this was broached to the Elkins. family while the effects of tho panic were still upon them, as well as other rich Americans.

It is believed the Elklns men took the blunt view that Abruzzl after all might be like other money-seeking foreigners of title. Another theory discussed by the duke's Intimates Is that Miss Elkins herself hesitated to marry because of the open opposition of some her finance's royal relatives. She did not want to exchange a sure position for one that might be fraught with uncertainties. Then, too, there was the question of religion. Miss Elklns a Protestant and the duke a Catholic.

With all these obstacles in plain view of the two young people, the situation bas been allowed to drift along by their elders In the hope now Justified that they would eventually igree between them that tho marriage would be unwise. At least that is the presumption in Rome. Tho Italian press Is growing mort resentful against the newspapers of America for their comment on the at fairs of Duke Abruzzl and Miss Elklns.

LILLIS MUST PAY PENALTY FOR FENCING Wealthy Stockman of California Is Found Guilty of Illegally Enclosing Great Tract of Government Land. FRESNO, Nov.

Lillis, a wealthy stockman, was this morning found guilty by the jury In federal court of maintaining a fence in which were enclosed 112,000 acres of government land in this county, of which 25,000 acres are vacant The case lasted a week and was hotly contested, the defendant being represented by Attorneys Welsh, Miller and Sutherland, and the government by United States District Attorney Law-lor. The trial was especially InteresUm; because of tho fact that Attorney Lawlor sprang a sensation when ho introduced evidence to prove that LIIHs had ipotrated whole-iale frauds five year? ago, by employing fifty men to make bogus land enteries so Lillis could acquire control over a vast acreage.

NEW GAMP HAS A HE; YARD SHIFT AT LAST Sylvanite Gold Development Company Puts Men to Work Every Hour of the Day. 1 WORK COMMENCES ON THE ALABAMA CLAIM Some Past History 'Connecting Camp With Efforts of Spaniards to Find Gold. (Special to the Review.) SYLVANITE, Nov. 18.

The new mining camp became full fledged recently when the Sylvanite Gold Development company increased Its working hours to twenty-four; for no community may assume the haughty mien of a real mining camp until It boasts a "graveyard" shift. Work also has been started on the Alabama claim owned by Rinehart and Mc-Keehan. As it joins tho Broken Jug Its development will be watched with interest A slight flurry of excitement was caused recently by a report of a rich uuiuaa uiu jujua vuuey, suiuu' where In a Animas range, Campbell ot El Paso displayed rich gold rock that ho averred came from there, with the result of sending an invoice of Sylvanlans (who had not succeeded in getting ground here) i stampeding In that direction. Nothing definite concerning the rrjnuted strike hn vet lrnnantrn1 hut Wnr- i burton, who Is thoroughly familiar with that vlclnltv. savs he has found good gold bearing quartz In the Ani mas mountains.

J. B. Wade, an Animas valley farmer who sells his produce here, has brought several large specimens of very high grade lead and silver ore from a ledge In that range, and maintain that the entire country thereabout Is heavily mineralized. Qulen Sabe? of the ore deposits of the southwest were worked by Snanlards oj prehistoric natives, and this region Is permeated with evidence of their existence and crude attempts at mining. Whllo Sylvanite Is building steadily and the ledges upon tho circumjacent mountains are swarming with excavating humanity there is nothing of tho unusual to report In the way of news.

Although assays running hicih In the nundreds are daily occurrences it has not been the Review's policy to feature anything that might seem to have tho slightest tincture of sensationalism. While here the writer has seen several properties that In the over-advertised camps of Nevada would have been welcomed as tho basis of an avalanche of hysterical printed slush that would fill a camp with a horde of penniless, unequipped gold seekers and fill the pockets of several human vultures with tho dollars of the gullible. The fact that the majority of Sylvanite's claim holders seem content to develop their oronertler without financial aid, al belt the one company thus far organized had its issue of stock oversub fcribed in less than a week, should fbe considered potent evidence of faith in tho stability of their ledges.

It is learned on the highest authority that the object ot the president In giving the dinner to the friends of labor, ami In holding subsequent conferences, was primarily to bring about a better understanding between representatives of the government and tho labor leaders, and impress upon the labor interests of the country the 'disposition ot the administration to receive its representa-ties In conference upon an equality with all The desire of the president, it was explained, was to have the laboring men feel that tliej had a right to present grievances and demands, and to demonstrate that neither labor leadeis nor millionaire need come to the back door of the White House at midnight in order to have a conference with the president The supreme court of the United States and the executive officials were invited to be present, but merely to learn from the leaders direct what the latter regarded as their needs. The occasion Is said to have afforded a free exchange of ideas, and has been of illuminating value to the president. While he may not adopt the labor program at the close of his administration lest he might thereby embarrass his successor, it is believed will Mt forth his views on the nveds ot labor cither in his annual message to congress, or In a special labor mo sage submitted subsequently.

It is understood his THREE DEAD BY GAS AFTEH A SECRET SPREE Society Girl and Two Male Companions Found in Boat House, the Former Dead and the Latter Dying. ATLANTIC CITY, N. Nov.

18. Gas escaping from a wide open jet put a tragic end to a night of revelry which was participated In by a trio v. young folks well known in social circles here Ella Clark, the pretty 1S-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mts William A Clark, of 2022 Baltic av and Arthur Penny and Walter Reynolds. At daybreak the three were found in a gas-filled room in a boathouse belonging to Councilman Edwin A.

Pars er, at lonely Gardner's Basin, the girl dead and the two young men dying. For hours the deadly vapor had been pouring Into the room and the lads, gradually losing sensibility, were fighting hard against final suffocation, inspired in their battle for life by the sight of the girl ljlng motionless before them. James Endlcott, who lives in the boathouse, found upon a table several bottles, which had been drained of their contents, and three empty glasses, which mutely told of the revelrj which had preceded the death of tho girl and the partial asphyxiation of her companions. Penny and Reynolds are now in the City Hospital, hovering between life and death. The doctors have small hope of pulling them through.

Chief of Detectives Whalen has stationed a man at their bedsides, ready to take a statement from them if they become conscious for an Interval, but they have small hope of this. Whalen says that little is needed to piece out the story told by the room in which the three were found. He says that the empty bottles, the three glasses and the cigarette stumps ar sufficient to convince him that the young men took the girl to the lonely boathouse, piled her full of liquor and then, when half intoxicated themselves, brought about her death jnd probably their own by opening the gas jet In an effort to throw the room into darkness. According to James Endlcott, who discovered the three In the room on the second floor of the boathouse, they must have had two lights burning. Beside the jet which was open and unburning, another had a slightly flickering flame.

He found the girl lying upon a bed, her clothes showing that she haa made a fight to save herself when she found that she was being suffocated. Penny and Reynolds, It was apparent, had struggled to reach a tightly 'closed window and had collapsed together on the floor. Captain of Detectives Whalen learned from Robert Lowry, who lives with Endlcott In the boathouse, that the young men had planired their visit to the place In advance. Lowry said that Penny had come to him and asked him for a key, and that he had refused to glvo It because Penny would not give him a satisfactory reason for wanting It. Penny, Ito said, finally got a key from James Lowry, Robert's brother.

Miss Clark was identified by a boy, who told the police that he had seen her in company with Penny several days previously. Then, when the detectives sent a messenger to the Clark home, in Ualtlc avenue, he found that the mother of the girl preparing to go to police headquarters to report the disappearance of her daughter. Mrs. Clark said that her daughter had left home about 8 o'clock last night, and had told her that she intended going to a place of amusement on the Boardwalk, and would return before midnight. She did not know- that her daughter had been acquaint ed with young Penny and Reynolds.

LATHAM MUST FACE MUSIC IN FRISCO COURT Former Chauffeur of Ruef Is Charged With Accepting Bribe to Keep 'Out of Way of Trial. REQUISITION GRANTED BY GOVERNOR GILLETI Latham Declares In Oregon Prison That He Knows Nothing of Value. SACRAMENTO, Nov.

18. Governor Glllett granted the application of William J. Burns, special agent of the San Francisco district attorney's office, in which extradition was asked for Alexander S. Latham, formerly Abe Ruefs chauffeur Latham is now under arrest in Port land, Oregon, and is charged in San Francisco, according to the amplication for requisition, with having accepted a bribe for the purpose of keeping him out of the way in the Tirey L. Ford trial last January.

Burns charged in the application for requisition that Latham is an import ant witness In tho graft cases, ana after being served with a subpoena left the jurisdiction of San Francisco courts and was aided in doing this by the payment of $1,000 by one Luther W. Brown, and since has been in biding. Latham is wanted to give testimony In tho Ruef case, as ho was the chauffeur who drove the machine from Broderick street barns at the time it Is alleged Ruef received the money from Tlrey L. Ford, and was afterwards driven to Ruefs apartments and from there to the Western National Bank, where Ruef had a safe deposit box. PORTLAND, Nov.

18. Alexander Lathan, former chauffeur of Abraham Ruef of San Francisco, was arrested here yesterday because of alleged connection with tho bribery graft cases In San Francisco. He stated today that In his opinion Haas was instigated in his atempt to murder Heney by persons who constantly may have suggested some such act to him, but was not actually the tool ot anybody In committing tie crime. "Do you know anything that may assist the graft prosecution in convicting the San Francisco boodlers?" I j. than was asked.

'The only thing that could possibly be of service to the prosecution Is what I have already told Burns. I made a deposition that there was a shirt waist box In Ruefs auto, but whether this contained boodle money, as alleged, I do not know. While employed by Ruef I never heard or saw anything incriminating him in any of the charges against him." SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18. Brief funeral services, according to the ritual of the Improved Order of Red Men, were held today over tho remains of Morris Haas, who committed suicide after shooting Francis J.

Heney. A score of friends and relatives were present at the former residence of Haas. The remains were escorted by a squad of mounted police to Odd Fellows cemetery where they were cremated. johnIIIoIt IHHjJjOOD STORY Head of Oil Trust Wonders What Wrong He Has Ever Done. NEW YORK, Nov.
