NO USELESS CEREMONIES

FeiT Kbcit Removal From City
Wan to Be So Soon.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-The remains of
un rrv, o unwt T?fl fnrmriv
Speaker of the House.of Representatives,
-who died last night, left here this after
noon for Portland, Me., his 'former home,
"where the interment will take place on
Tuesday afternoon. They were placed
aboard a special train, leaving Washing
ton at 4:50 o'clock and running as the
second section of the Federal Express.
Accompanying the body were: Mrs. Reed,
the widow; Miss Catherine Reed, the Ex
Speaker's daughter; Hon. Amos .. Allen.
.Mr. Reed's successor In the House of
Representatives; Mr. Asher G. Hinds,
3Ir. Reed's parliamentary clerk while
Speaker, and Mr. Augustus G. Payne, of
New York, a lifelong friend. At Mrs.
Reed's request,, there were no ceremonies
of any kind here, and at Portland they
will be of a simple character.
During the entire day there was a
stream of sympathetic callers at the Ar
lington Hotel, where the body of Mr.
Reed lay awaiting removal to the rail
road station. They included President
and Mrs. Roosevelt, members of the Cabi
net, the Senate and the head of the
Diplomatic Corps. Many persons in pri
vate life also called. Neither Mrs. -Reed
nor her daughter saw any of the visitors,
who simply left their cards. It was not
generally known that the body of the de
ceased would be taken from the city to
day, and President Roosevelt had invited
Mi-3. Reed and her daughter to be guests
at the White House pending its removal,
which Invitation, under the circumstances,
they were compelled to decline.
The body was inrlcsed in a casket with
heavj' oxidlzisi extension handles, and on
the ton was a solid silver plate, on which
had been engraved the following simple
Inscription: "Thomas Brackett Reed
October 18, 1839. December 7. 1902."
The casket remained at the hotel until
about 4 o'clock In the afternoon, when it
was brought downstairs and lifted into
the hearse, the undertakers' assistants
and the employes of the hotel acting as
.body-bearers. Then, without ceremony or
Hsplr.y of any kind, it was removed to
the railroad station. On the casket rested
two floral offerings, one of them from
the widow, and the other, enclosed In a
long pasteboard box, from Mrs. Roose
velt. Mrs. Reed's offering was a large
wreath of violets. American beauty roses
and orchids sprinkled with lilies of the
valley, while in the box which came from
the White House were an assortment of
white and pink roses, with maindenhair
ferns. loosely thrown together for use on
the casket when the Interment Is made.
Soon after the body left the hotel, Mrs.
Reed and her daughter, Mr. Payne, Mr.
Allen and Mr. Hinds, who accompanied
the body to Portland, were driven to the
special train in waiting. Among those
at the railroad station when the train
departed were Senator and Mrs. Iodge;
Justice McKenna; General Draper, of
Massachusetts, and Representatives Hltt
and Littlefleld. The special train carry
ing tho funeral party was made up bf
the composite car Brutug, the sleeper
Harvard", and a day coach. Mr. Little
Held expects to go to Portland to attend
the funeral, and Representative Burleigh,
who is there already, also Is expected to
he present. The arrangements for the ob
sequies at Portland have been left In the
hands of Hon. Joseph "W. Symonds and
John C. Small, an old neighbor of Mr.
Reed. As far as tentatively arranged
here, the funeral will take place some
time Tuesday afternoon, from the First
Parish Unitarian Church, of which the
Rev. John Carroll Perkins Is pastor. In
terment will be at Evergreen Cemetery-

PASSIONIST FATHERS.
Their Expulsion From France Sub
ject of Friendly Representations.
PARIS. Dec 7. Ambassador Porter and '
the British Ambassador, r Sir Edmund
Monson, have now nut into execution
their friendly representatlpns to the
French government with a view to secur
ing a reconsideration of the case of the
Passionist Fathers who have been In
cluded among the religious orders to be
expelled from France. The representa
tions were submitted on behalf of the
English and Americans attending the St.
Joseph's Church, which is conducted by
the Passlonlsts. As the order Is an Eng
lish one, It was recognized that repre
sentations concerning Its rights must
come solely irom tne junusn omciais.
Ambassador Porter's representation was
mainly verbal and pointed out the con
venience of the church to Americans,
and the Ambassador expressed a hope
that this convenience would not be In
terrupted. It is stated from an author
itative source that Ambassador Porter s
representation was in no sense a protest.
nor an assertion of international right,
as it Is fully recognized that the govern
ments' action towards the congregations
is a question of domestic policy, and the
matter will not be referred to Washing-
Ion, as in the case when international
rights is involved.
On the contrary, these representations
of a conciliatory nature have developed a
personal desire on the part of the gov
ernment officials to yield Jn the matter,
but it is felt that It Is dlffloult for tho
government to act at the present stage
inasmuch as tho entire question of tho
congregations has been submitted to the
Chamber of Deputies. It Is also pointed
out by the French officials that an ex
ception in this case would give foreign
religious orders privileges which arc hot
allowed to the French orders. It Is be
lieved that the final determination of the
question rests with the Chamber.
BULL TO FILIPINOS.

MANILA, Dec 7. Monslgnore Guidi, the

fine the position of the church toward the
Philippine Islands, and possibly outline the
plans for the reorganization of .the church
here.

VENEZUELA'S OWN STORY
"WHY SHE CLAIMS THBXITTLE'ISL
' JLKD OF PATOS.
And HowTVcak the Claim of Great
Britain la All Is Set Forth
In the Yellow Boole
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. In Venezuela's
yellow book' for 1S01, a copy of which has
been received in Washington recently
from th Foreign Office at Caracas, are
the negotiations between the London
"u l V.l
garu io ioe oiviiersuiji ul .cuius imbhu,
. . . . ,,.
two countries for many years. Signifi
cance -attaches to this correspondence In
view of the approaching crisis between
Venezuela arid Great Britain, as it is not
Improbable that In the settlement of
claims of British and German citizens
against Venezuela the Patos dispute" will
also bo involved.
The reopening of the Patos question
was caused by the action of the Vene-
NAST.
zuelan gunboat Augusto In January, 1901,
in capturing certain British subjects on
the island. When theVaracas authorities
were called to account by the London
Foreign Office the former replied by re
newing their long-standing claim to Patos
and a displomatlc. controversy extending
throughout the year was the result Vene
zuela bases her claim to the island on Its
proximity to the coast of Gulria, from
which It Is distant only three miles, claim
ing it is a tenet of International law that
a country commands water within a ma-
Tlne league of its coast; that the interna'
tional law Institute has defined the terrl
torial sea as six miles, whereas the Isl
and of Patos Is more than 10 miles from
Trinidad, the nearest British possession;
further, that the treaty oL..March. 1845.
explicitly confirms the title of Venezuela
over all the islands near Her coast which
were under the domlnlonof Spain In thb
initiative period of Venezuelan independ'
ence.
In support of this contention, the Vene
zuelan authorities produce a letter from
the royal Spanish Minister for State in
1873, In which he denies that royal sane
tlon never was given to the concession
alleged to have been made to Trinidad
by the Governor of Patos; Huevos and
Monos. Great Britain, through her
Charge d' Affaires at Caracas, and later
through her Minister, advanced the con
tention that when she conauered the Isl
and of Trinidad In 1797 sovereignty over
Patos also was obtained, and so recog
nized by the Madrid government; that
Patos has remained In the peaceful pos
session of Great Britain for more than s
century, during 70 years of which time
Venezuela advanced no counter claim, and
that the official map of Codazzl colors the
Island of Patos the same as Trinidad, in
dicating that both belong to the same
country.
To this last contention Venezuela replied
by stating that the map of Codazzl was
so old as to make it Impossible to distin
guish the various colors, and produced
other maps by the same author, which
place Patos as belonging to Venezuela,
Being unable to agree on even the minor
points of the controversy the British MIn
lster, near the close of last year, informed
the Venezlelan Foreign .Office that he
would make no further representations In
the matter, as there was nothing to be
gained In continuing the correspondence
It Is understood that President Castro
wn. ask that the question be settled by
arbitration, a proposition to which the
British government will hardly accede, in
view of Its contention that the ownership
of Patos is so clearly British as not to
furnish a suitable subject for arbitration,

Soldiers in Chamber Said to Be a

PARIS, Dec. 7. The violent scenes in. the
Chamber of Denuties vesterday ' whlcn
marked the close of the session were fol
lowed today by a lively discussion of the
incidents in Parliamentary ana omcitu
circles. A portion of the press treats the
affair humorously as Indicative of the ex
citability of the oarties concerned. The
most serious Journals, however, comment

account published by the Matin presents
a veritable pugilistic encounter, and even
the Journal Official records an exchange.
of blows between members of tne
Chamber.
In an interview M. Syveton. defends the
course he took yesterday, declaring that
Minister Valle was the aggressor. He as
serts that the affair will not ena

Concerning the summoning of a platoon
of soldiers, M. Syveton said:
'Let the majority beware of tnis prece
dent. When the time arrives for soldiers
to be Introduced into the Chamber to in
timidate the representatives of -the people
a' dangerous state of affairs exist. If
force Is to rule them the majority will
find itself' before long confronted with
soldiers."
M. Syyoton has chosen the Marqula ,dc
Dion and M. Gulot de Villenuy as bis sec
onds to meet the seconds appointed by
Minister Valle. As a preliminary to a
meeting, however, it must be decided who
was the aggressor, and whether the of
fense comes within the code of honor.
Deputy Syveton's personal .offense against
Minister Valle consists In giving him the

consists of having called M. Syveton a
wretch.
A further complication is pointed out
by the Figaro, which says that duelling is
practically interdicted among officials in
authority and to engage In a duel Is tanta
mount to the giving up of his portfolio
by an official. The general belief Is that
the oeconds will determine that no cause
for a duel exists.
Deputy Coutant has been Interviewed
and says that as the Chamber voted hla
expulsion and voled confidence In the
government ho will appeal to his constit

WHAT VIVISECTION. DOES
TEACHES WHAT PAHTS OF BRAIN
GOVERN CERTAIN MUSCLES.
Without That Knoivleclsc, Surgeon
Keen Coul Not Have Healed Mid
shipman Aiken, Footballlnt.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7.-Dr. iU
W. Keen, the eminent surueou y
city who was recently summoned .to An
napolls .to perform an operation on Mid
shipman Aiken, to relieve mm oi. me v
feots of Injuries sustained in a football
game, attributes the success of his oper
ation to knowledge gained through ex
periments In vivisection. Dr. Keen has
addressed a letter setting forth tho facts
in the case to Senator Galllnger, whom
he regards a8 one of tho leaders of the
antl-vlvlsectlonists in this country. Dr.
Keen, In his letter, says:
"I deem It my duty to call your at
tenUoa to the case of Midshipman Aiken,
of the United States Naval Academy,
who was recently Injured In a football
game. My reason for doing so. is to show
you .by a single concrete example mat
knowledge gained by animai experimenia
lon is an Immense boon to humanity,
and that, therefore, such experiments
should be heartily encouraged. Tne tacts
of Mr. Aiken's case are as follows:
"When I first saw him, three days after
the accident, I found that he had been
unconscious for a half-hour after the ac
cident, and ever since then had com
plained bitterly of headache, which he
located always In the forehead. Soon
after the accident he began to develop
convulsions. In six hours and a half
after I saw him he had 24 of these at
tacks, all limited to the right arm. There
was no fracture cf the skull. The only
nhvslcal evidence of arty injury was a
very sllghk bruise at the outer end of the
left eyebrow.
"Had I seen this case before ISSo, I
would have been unablo to explain why
the spasms were chiefly manifested in the
right arm. I would have been justified
in Inferring that probably the' front part
of hla brain Was injured at the point of
the bruise. Had I opened his skull at
that point, I would have found a per
fectly normal brain, and have missed the
clot. The 'youhg man, therefore, would
have died, whether his skull had been
opened "or ri6t-
"In 1902, observe the difference. As a
result of knowledge derived from experi
ments upon animals, which have located
precisely the center for motion of the
right arm, I reached the conclusion that
there had been a rujiture of a blood vessel
within the head, and that the situation of
.the clot should correspond to the 'arm
center.' Its position was fixed absolutely
as a result of experiments upon animals.
"As soon as the skull was opened at this
point, the clot was found, its thickest
point being exactly over tho arm center,
and the blood was removed, with the re
sult that the patient's life was saved.
This Is only one of hundreds of cases in
which' a, similar exact location has been
made by many surgeons, Ijoth lit Europe
and America.
."The anti-vivlficctlorilsts have frequent
ly denied that surgeons have learned any
with the greatest positiveness. that with-
out the knowledge derived from expert-
ments upon animals, which have demon-
strated tho facts of cerebral localization.
I should never have been able to locate
the clot in Mr. Aiken's head and remove
.It.

JA. Ely. of Perrineville, seeks to recov
er $10,000 damages from his brother, Ste
phen D. Ely, of Cranbury. for alleged de
famation of character. The origin of the
trouble was in a poem. Both parties aro
rhymesters of considerable fame in their
respective neighborhoods.. They aro sons
of Joseph J. Ely, the lawyer, surveyor and
historian, who frequently wrote verse.
J. A. Ely, the complainant, in the Spring

of verses based on Aesop's Fables. Soon
after the appearance of one entitled the
"Fox and the Crow" In the Enterprise, a
weekly newspaper then published by
Mayor Richard D. Norton, of HIghtstown.

published In the same paper from the pen
of Stephen D. Ely. in which his brother
dharges that the-description of the cun
ning fox was Intended as a personal allu
sion to himself.

of their father's estate, in which the broth
ers and their three sisters have been In
volved for several years, the complainant
asserts that the public would be likely to
sec in the poem a carlcuture of the part
played by him in these legal difficulties,
and that the Implication-, thus set forth
aro of a slanderous nature. Stephen D. Ely
has made a demurrer. In which he de
clares that no personal allusion to his
brother was intended.

Cranbury, and Mas attracted attention for
several months by covering tho bulletin
