THE EMPEROR BUSY TO PREVENT AN QUTEREAK AT PRESENT, The Minister of Foreign Affairs Has Had His Position Shaken ~-Axe-the -Stories Set "Afloat to Prevent a 'Panic Stopping the Jubilee Festivities. £ London, Dec. 2.--The rumor that Count Von Aethrenthal, Austro-Hun- garian minister of foreign affairs, has resigned, proved too good to be true but despatches from Vienna and else- where make it quite clear that the minister's position has been serious- ly shaken. There are also encourag- ing; signs of improvement in the in. ternational situation, one of these being the annguncement that the Austrian ambassador to Turkey will not quit Constantinople at present. This denotes that Austri® has real ized that she cannot carry matters with a high hand as she expected. ' The - interpretation put on this changed attitude is that the emper- ot has become seriously alarmed at the turn matters have taken. The aged monarch, it is stated, is es- pecially fearful lest his jubilee ~ be matred by war and he is exerting all his power to prevent an outbreak. Austrian Troops Moving. Vienna, Dec. 2.--~Concurrently with the indications of bettering of the situation there are reports of the movement of Austrian troops which cause anxiety. It is stated that one shipping eompany has been or- dered to be prepared to convey 8, 000 troops to Ragusa, while the rail roads in Crotia and Dalmatia have been wholly appropriated by the military adthorities for transporting troops to Bosnia, These and similar rumors inspire the belief in. some quarters that the more hopeful state- ments are issued merely to prevent a panic spoilingy the jubilee festivities.

It is estimated fully 1,500,000 were on the streéts last night. ~ The most serious accident, arising from the crush, occurred near the .Hofburg, where, as the result of a panic, at least- a score of persons were serious. ly hurt while fifty sustained slight injuries, Woman After Insurance.

Cra ---- Robertson Bros, i Celebrates Anniversary. Montreal, Dec. 2.--One of the most famous old characters in the city, v, Robert Brown, or "Parson" Brown as he is known to friends and strangers alike, to-day is celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ¢on- nection 'with the Desrivier Street Mis. sion. This mission is a little colored church, the only one of its kind in the city. I'he congregation as well as the pastor are all colored people. "Parson" Brown up to a few years ago used to divide his time between doing an expert culinary act and preaching the gospel. He was employ- ed as chef by the Grand Trunk and was the cook on the first dining car that went out of Montreal. The "Par- son' always used to arrange his run so as to be in Montreal on Sundays, however, and he was always to be seen in the pulpit of the little church on Desrivier street, preaching to his colored flock. His run on the Grand Trunk was to Brockville and return. The anniversary 'service took the form of a concert, at which the tal ent and most of the audience was of the colored persuasion. ------ BUILDING A BRIDGE Across Niagara - River Like the Michigan Central's.

Wedded in Idaho, and Are He is net to Drink 18 Now York and Liverpool. Spokane, Wash., Dec. 2 --"Swift- water Bill' Gates, whose spectacular mining and matrimonial adventures in Alaska, Puget Sound, California and Nevada have been 'the talk of the North-West, the last ten. years, has taken unto himself wife No. 4. The bride is Sadello Mercier, eighteen years old, .daughter of Mrs. Violet M. Erick- manager of Hotel Webster, in Spokane. Phey were married at Coeur d'Alene, 'Idaho, last Saturday, after a brief - courtship. Gates. and his bride are now on the way to New York, whence thoy will sail for Liverpool, to pass a year in England. "Bill" clean- ed up a fortune in Nevada a short time before coming to Spokane. The bride came to New York two months ago, about the time Gates returned to Spokane from Nevada. She is a graduate of Villa Marie con- 'vent, Montreal. They met two weeks ago in the hotel where the. veteran miner was snugly ensconsed to avoid notoriety. Bill' was struck with the young girl's beauty, and was ardent in his wooing. When Miss Mercier told him she loved: another, Gates be- came more persistent and finally won the girl's heart and hand. It was in- tended to keep the engagement and wedding a secret, but the bride's con- fidante was over-enthusiastic and told another girl friend. Gates ' came into public notice a dozen years ago, when he gave Gussie Lamore, of San Francisco, her weight in_gold to marry him. She discarded him soon afterward, and he married her sister Rose, divorcing her after a honeymoon of six weeks. Then he eloped with Bera Beebe, sixteen years of age, at Skayway, who committed suicide early lagt month, after separa- ting from Gates and.marrying Henry Coole "Bill" arranged' for the burial and paid: the bills. sor; Has Been Chosen.

Hamilton, Ont., Dec. 2.--Behind the efforts being made by Christopher Taylor, a veterinary surgeon of this 2 {eity, to recover a large sum of money, is an interesting story of how a re mittance for $15,000 has remained un- touched in a bank for eighty-one ears. In 1827 Nathaniel Taylor, a wealthy brewer of Boroughbridge, York, Kng- land, remitted £3,000 to his son, John, who was then at Muddy York, now 'Toronto. The check was drawn on the Bank of Upper Canada, but was never cashed by Taylor, who left for New York shortly after and mar- ried., The only surviving members of his family are Christopher Taylor and Mrs, Hollingreen, of Halton county. Even at as low a rate as two and one-half per cent. the money would amount to over $100,000 now. SURGERY TO SAVE TREE. Comwall Proud of 'Its Ancient Elm. Cornwall, Ont., Dec. 2.----Cornwall boasts a landmark in a particularly ancient and stately elm tree, which stands in front of 'the Colquhoun re- siagence on East First street. There is only one in. the vicinity its equal - in size, and that has partially succumb ed to old age and the clements. Cornwall feels a personal pride in the magnificent Colquhoun tree, and strangers are invariably invited to ad- mire it and marvel at its enormous proportions, with a diameter of over six feet at the base of the trunk. In full leaf in the summer, or with: the delicate tracery of its smaller branch- es outline against the wintry sky, it is equally ' beautiful. The oldest in- habitant can see no change in its size, and 'expert tree elogists esti- mate its age at over M00 years; per- haps it was a sapling when Christo: plier Columbus "discovered America. While this tree keeps its age well, signs of disintegration have begun to appear. A few weeks since in a heavy gale a huge split wis noticed, which bid fair to destroy it altogether "As a precaution, heavy iron chains were wound around the principal branches, and securely fastened, but this was only a temporary measure. A few days ago a tidy hit of tree surgery was performed by Louis McCormick. Bands of heavy iron were forged 'and slamped around the branches, and to these were attached long. iron rods, -sach provided with a turnbuckle, by means of which great pressure was ex- erted, and the rifts closed up as far as possible, To all appearances the sld-tree {5 good for another century ; at any rate, no one now living will likely see its finish. As the old song has it : . "And so flourish ye, a hale green tree, When a thousand years are gone." WOMAN'S STRANGE CRIME. Supposed to Be Wife of - Chicago Business Man.

The Notorious Woman Swindler Turns a Trick at Seventy-Nine Years of Age, Toronto, Dec. 2.--A little grey-hair- ed woman, dressed in black, and wear- ing 'an old-fashioned nnet, was locked up in police headquarters on the charge of getting $2,000 on false pretences from the promoting firm of Normand &-Wilsen, of 1 Madison ave- nue. .The older detectives recognized the quiet-mannered oid woman as El- len E. Peck, the "Confidence Queen' of thirty years ago, about whom col- umns have been written, and to whom Inspector. Byrnes devoted several pag- es in his "Professional Criminals of America." Mrs. Peck gained her first notoriety thirty years ago, when she swindled B. T. Babbitt, the soap manufacturer, out of $19,000. She now owns to sev- enty-nine years, but many who know her declare that she is over eighty. Although arrested many times she has served few prison sentences. Little has been heard of her since 1905, when she was arrested for swindling Frank Repetti, a Chicago hotel man, out of $900. At that time it was estimated that her swindling operations had ag- gregated $1,000,000. She is said to have a handsome home at. Sparkill, N.Y. In 1900 Mrs. Peck was sent to Auburn for a short term. The police thought that on account of her ad- vanced age and independent means she 'would be good when liberated. Mrs. Peck was described by Inspec tor Byrnes as' "the best woman in her line that I ever knew." Just how her career began she has never. told. It is known, however, that she had dabbled in swindling in a small way before 1878, when she jumped into olice prominence by swindling Mr. 3abbitt out of $10,000. Mr. Davitt had been robbed a short time before of more than half a million dollars by employees. Mrs. Peck represented her- self to the soap manufacturer as a 'woman detective, and asserted that she had information which would lead to the recovery of much of the. stolen property. After Mt. Babbitt had paid Mrs. Peck in instalments $19,000 for her. "information," he found it was valueless. > For this ' she was arrested and in- dicted. Her wits appeared to desert her. She was adjudged insane and committed to an asylum in Philadel phia. Her counsel persuaded Mr)' Bab bitt to agree to a e¢ivil adtion, and as soon as this was settled she regained her reason and was released. * Mrs, Peck returned to New York and proved that her mental qualities had not suffered by convincing 'Samuel Pingee, a wealthy patent = medicine man, that she had a friend in Ja secure tips on Jay Gould's market operations.
