BERLIN IS AROUSED
Zu Eulenburg Trial Develops
Sensational Features.
KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC
Newspapers Prevented by the Gov
ernment From Obtaining News of
Star Chamber Proceedings
at First Hand.
BERLIN. July 8. Renewed interest in
the trial here of Prince Philip sir Eulen
burg, who Is charged with perjury in
connection with the "round table" scan
rials, has been aroused as a result of the
publication of sensational rumors that
damaging disclosures were made In the
taking of evidence at the trial. The
court building was filled with people and
the police have been strongly reinforced.
They do not permit the public to approach
liny of the witnesses.
A man named Ernest, one of the prin
cipal witnesses for the prosecution, oc
cupied the stand today. It is reported
that he accused Court Councillor Mistle
bor. who was at one time private secre
tary to the Prince, of attempting to pre
vent him giving evidence against the
defendant.
It is affirmed also that Ernest received
letters from the Prince seemingly with
the object of influencing his testimony in
nn improper manner.
HEME UNFIT AS FATHER
lloni's Reasons for Asking Custody
of Children.
FAR IS, July 8. Count Boni de Catel
lane, whose former wife was married yes
terday In London to Prince Helie de Ha
san, the Count's cousin, has opened what
promises to be a sensational legal battle
for the possession of his three children,
the offspring of his marriage with Miss
Anna Gould. The step taken by the
Count yesterday, which generally has
been misunderstood, is merely a prelimi
nary skirmish.
This was not a formal demand for the
ci.stod of the children, but an aftermath
of the removal last week by the Count
of his son Jm' from the residence of his
former wife at Versailles.
i nitre Bonnet, counsel for the Count,
yesterday afternoon petitioned the court
to reindorse his clients' right to retain
Jay temporarily on account of the child's
Illness and because of the insufficient
care he was reclving at Versailles dur
ing the absence of his mother.
Maitre Bonnet told the correspondent of
the Associated Press today that a decid
ed move would be made In a few days,
when he would ask the court to give the
custody of all the children to the Count
on the ground that Princess de Sagan
was not a suitable protector for them, in
asmuch as she is under the complete
domination and control of Prince Helte,
who is unworthy to hold the position of
father to the children.
"As proof that Mme. Gould was com
pletely dominated by the Prince de Sa
gan we will offer her action in traveling
in Italy, the Riviera and to England in
company with the Prince de Sagan be
fore she was married to him, Maitre
Bonnet declared.
The case will proceed as soon as the
Princess de Sagan announces her readi
ness to defend her interests."
TRIBUTE TO MERIT
THANKS ALL FOR LETTERS
Mrs.
Cleveland Issues . Statement
Through the Press.
PRINCETON, N. J., July 8. So great
has been the number of messages received
by Mrs. Cleveland since the death of the
former President that she has found It
Impossible to make personal response to
all of them; therefore she has given to
the prees the following communication in
acknowledgement of these messages:
"In our great grief there have come to
my children and myself from all over our
country and from other lands, expressions
of condolence in our bereavement and of
a participation in our sorrow. My heart
is touched by these, and by all tributes
paid to Mr. Cleveland in word and act. I
am deeply grateful for the comfort that
God gave us in this way. I regret that
the multitude of these messages renders
it impossible for me to send a personal
word of thanks for each. The press has
kindly offered to bear from me that ex
pression of my own and my children's
gratitude and appreciation, and I hope it
will reach ell who have thought of him
and of ue.
"FRANCES F. CLEVELAND."
Killed In Paraguay Revolution.
WASHINGTON. July 8. Information re
ceived at the State Department today is
that the estimated loss of life in the re
cent revolution in Paraguay was from
100 to 150 persons, while 100 were wounded.
The information came to the Department
in a dispatch from Edward C. O'Brien,
American Minister to Uruguay and Para
guay. The revolution began on July 2,
when the Minister of War was taken
prisoner. The dispatch came by way of
Buenos Ayres, dated July -7, and at that
time the city of Asuncion, where the rev
olution began, was tranquil.
New Chief of Army Engineers
Not a Politician.

Whisky Men Lose Fight.
CINCINNATI, O..July 8. The suit of
the distillers to enjoin internal reve
nue officials against the new branding
and marking rules met with another
defeat late yesterday, when United
States Circuit Judge Lurton declined to
grant a rehearing to the local whisky
interests. The action Is an attempt to
secure an Injunction to prevent the en
forcement of the new rules on brand
ing and marking, and under which
what are known as 4spirits" will be
marked "alcohol."

Colonel William u. Marshall's Pro
motion Indirectly Due to His
Huge Bulk Weight Made
Taft His Friend.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 7. President Roosevelt rec
ognized merit when he appointed Colonel
William L. Marshall as Chief of Engineers
of the Army. He picked the best man in
the engineer corps, and the one who, in
the opinion of unbiased officials of the
department and of the Army, was most
entitled to the promotion, and in rec
ognizing the merit uf Colonel Marshall,
he placed the corps in the hands of the
man most competent to handle it. In de
ciding upon Colonel Marshall, the Presi
dent was swayed by Secretary Taft, who
from the first has favored the selection
of Marshall for this post.
Colonel Marshall is physically a man of
the Taft type, and for that reason there
may have been a bond of sympathy be
tween then. Last Fall, when the Army
riding tests were held, the President
threatened to retire Colonel Marshall be
cause he failed to make the ride. But
the failure was not due to disinclination
on the part of the new Chief of Engineers:
it was due to the fact that no horse could
be found in all the Army stables, who
could carry the rotund Colonel for a full
day's ride, as he tips the soales at
nearly 300 pounds.
Saved by Business Men.
Colonel Marshall was then in charge of
the improvement of New York harbor,
and only because of the protest of the
commercial bodies of that city did the
President reconsider, and allow Colonel
Marshall to contyiue his work.
The improvement of New York harbor
is easily the most important work now in
progress under direction of the Chief of
Engineers. Colonel Marshall, having
long been in charge at New York, and
having successfully carried forward the
improvement as fast as money was made
available, demonstrated his fitness to as
sume even a more responsible position,
and among officers of the engineer corps
he Is declared to be far and away the
best equipped in the service. . Had the
officers of the corps had the selection of
a Chief, Colonel Marshall would have
received almost a unanimous vote.
Symons Is Disappointed.
For a long time it was generally be
lieved) that Colonel Thomas W. Symons
would be appointed Chief of Engineers.
! The President favored his appointment,
and It is said had tentatively promised
him the place. On top of that Symorts
was indorsed by a large number of Sena
tors and Representatives, and by other
men of influence. All his life Colonel
Symons has been more or less of a poli
tician and has trained with politicians. It
was therefore easy for him to secure their
indorsement. But Colonel Symons or his
over-anxious wife, injected too much
politics into the Colonel's case, and their
extreme activity in the end helped turn
the President against him.
Colonel Symons was not indorsed by (
Army officers nor by the officials of the
War Department. For some time past
he has been out of touch with the en
gineer corps, having been on detail with
the New York State Waterways. Com
mission, where he received a handsome
salary for services rendered the state.
That was the principal reason Army peo
ple were opposed to him. They maintained
that a man devoting himself entirely to
the work of the corps was entitled to
first consideration.
Resented "Wire Pulling.
Moreover, Army officers resented Colo
nel Symons continual association with
politicians, and objected to his filing a
great mass of political indorsements.
They wanted to see a Chief of Engineers
selected on his merits, and not on ac
count of his pull. For a time pull' threat
ened to land Symons in the coveted posi
tion, but when his wife began to annoy
the President by her frequent calls, and
when Senators and Representatives who
had indorsed the Colonel, were still beset
by her entreaties, there was a marked
change of sentiment.
Another thing that induced the Presi
dent to set aside his own preference and
defer to the wishes of Secretary Taft was
the fact that the new Chief would have
but eight months to serve under the
present Administration, and would retire
in the middle of the next Administration.
In other words, his greatest work would
come under the next President. .
Deference Was Natural. ,
Because of the utmost harmony existing
between the President and Mr. Taft, it
was only natural that the former should
defer to the wishes of the latter In a
Question of this kind, especially when Mr.
Taft had such excellent reasons for ask
ing the appointment of Colonel Marshall.
General Wright, the new Secretary of
War, who will be the immediate superior
of General Marshall, while not familiar
with the merits of the respective cases,
became convinced, after hearing all sides.
that Colonel Marshall was the best man
for the place, and he joined with iait in
indorsing the man who has been selected.

PITTSBURG, July 8. A call was issued

Adopting the most drastic regulations
