Possession of Capital.
PORT AV PRINCK. Dec. 2. The people
of Port an Prince have turned apainst
Nord Alexis. The palace is surrounded
ly an Infuriated mob. i-alliiiK upon him to
leave the country. Almost everybody in
the crowd is armed. Haytlan women, be
side themselves with raffe. are calling
down curses on the head of the nged man
who was today deposed from the Presi
dency of the republic and hurling coarse
cplthftrs at him and his family.
Armed sailors from the two American
cruisers and the French cruiser in the
harbor were landed at 1:30 today. They
are guarding their respective legations.
The revolt of the capital against Alexis
succeeded without fighting. A provisional
oven-menl has been established and Gen
eral LeRitime has accepted the Presi
dency of the new administration.
Ministers Flee to Consulates.
The coup has been remarkably success
ful. All the remaining ministers, togeth
er with the military officials under Nord
Alexis, have taken refuge in the various
foreign legations. These are the same
men who nine month ago were protest
ing vociferously against the granting of
the right of refuge to unsuccessful
' revolutionists by the foreign diplomatic
and consular representatives. Today they
are oniy too happy to seek the protection
of a foreign flag to escape the fury of
the people.
The only man to remain loyal to N'ord
Alexis it General Camille Gabriel, his
nephew, who for the last six months has
directed the policy of the Alexis Adminis
tration. Gabriel Is at the palace with
Alexis.
Win Without Bloodshed.
The movement has been well organ
ized. Tile final preparations were com
pleted last evening and In the early
l ours of the morning bands of citizens,
organized and armed, moved quietly
about the town and took possession of
varlus points of vantage. At 8 o'clock
last niglit there was an outburst of rifle
firing in the suburbs and it was thought
that the conspiracy had been discovered
and that the fighting had begun. This
w. however, a false alarm.
The movement was directed by Gen
eral Canal, a member of the Senate. It
is a remarkable fact that not a ' shot
was fired. The soldiers of Nord Alexl
saw that the rebels had the upper hand
and they quickly let it be seen that
they had no intention of starting a
tight that undoubtedly would have re
sulted in much bloodshed. The presence
of the American cruisers Dos Molns
and Tacoma and the French cruiser
I'limiay Trouin undoubtedly had a re
straining Influence.
The citizens are In possession of the
i-entral police station and all the other
police outposts, the arsenal and the port.
There botlies of men are well armed and
well supplied with ammunition. The fact
that they were thus prepared shows the
thoroughness with which the movement
was organized.
As soon as the success of the movement
was es-lablished, a number of prominent
citizens held a meeting and formed a
committee of public safety, and the
maintenance of order In Port au Prince
Is now In the hands of this body. Gen
eral legitime. President of the provisional
government, was at one time President of
the republic.
.Ministers lesert Alexis.
The fa,-t that Nord Alexis" Min
isters deserted him at the last mo
ment did not come as a complete sur
prise. Their loyalty was suspected and
tile defections of the last two or three
days showed clearly what might be ex
pected. General Jules Coicou, the mili
tary commander of Port au Prince. Is
anion"? the refugees, as Is also General
Jtyaclnthe. Coicou Is the man who caused
the assassination of his own brother and
two cousins last May for complicity In
ttie unsuccessful revolutionary movement
that broke out at that time, and Hya
clnthe is the official who presided at the
w holesale execution that followed the sup
pression of this outbreak. He has taken
refuge at the Grrman Legation. General
l.econte and M. Lafentant, one of the
personal advisers of Nord Alexis. totk
refuge in the French legation last night.
General Marcelln. Minister of Finance
and Commerce, also is a refugee.
No change in the position occupied by
tl". rebels has been reported since last
evening. Tltey were then about 30 miles
from Port au Prince. General Simon,
leader of the present movement. Is ex
pected here at any moment.
Aelxis JAte in Danger.
If Nord Alexis persists in his determi
nation not to leave the capital, while he
still has the chance, he will be In grave
clanger at the hands of the people. Gen
eral Canal Is doing everything possible
to maintain order. The guards on the
streets have been increased, but with
great difficulty the populace is being re
strained. Already the people are begin
ning to pillage the central market and
rifle firing is heard from that section aa
this dispatch is filed. .
A butcher In the market who tried
to protect ills stall from the looters
' was killed.
Marcelln I? at present on board the
I'uguay Trouin. He first took refuge
at the French Consulate, but, once
there, he made a pathetic appeal to
the French Minister. M. Carteron. to
send him on beard the French cruiser.
Bel'.evlna- that the man really was In
danger. M. Carteron consented.
Marrelin "duelled" Priests.
General Marcelln is one of the most
able of the llaytian Ministers, who
during the last six years have had the
control of the public finances in their
hands.
The government at one time announced
its intention of bringing about a separa
tion of church and state in Haytt. Mar
celin opposed this, arguing that the bet
ter way would be to cease paying the
prl,sts their salaries, which would soon
force them to leave the country. The
priests for the last two years have re
ceived their salaries only in the form of
promissory notes. which they were
obliged to discount. These notes were
Lou-.: lit up by agents said to be working
for the government and they were sub
sequently redeemed at their full value..
General Canal Is urging the people to
remain calm, explaining that, if there is
any serious disorder on the shore, the
cruisers In the hrabor will disembark
armed forces, to protect the property of
foreigners.

ARCHBOLD GIVES LIGHT

develop this contention.

(
NEW YORK, Dec. 2. The processes
through which the Standard Oil Trust
was liquidated and its 30 subsidiary com
panies brought under control of the pres
ent Standard Oil Company of New Jer
sey were developed In interesting detail
today by John D. Archbold under cross
examination in the Federal suit to dis
solve the Standard Oil Comapny.
Mr. Archbold declared that the trust
had been liquidated in the period of
years fror.i I'M to 1899 with all good faith
to obey the mandates of the Ohio Su
preme Court ordering the trust dissolved.
There was no ulterior motive in the fact
that only about 51 per cent of the trust
certificates were liquidated Into the
stocks of the subsidiary companies, said
Mr. Archbold. Small holders declined to
liquidate, preferring to retain their cer
tificates, which had a market value,
rather than to obtain Infiniteslmally
small parts in the several minor compa
nies. Standard Is Holding Company.
Mr. Archbold made' it plain under a
series of questions from Government
counsel that the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey had been selected as the
holding company because the laws of
New Jersey were reasonable in their
treatment of corporations. All the hold
ers of trust certificates, after obtaining
their pro rata phares in the subsidiary
companies, turned them in to the New
Jersey company and received their pro
portionate amount of stock. The Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey, the
present holding company, is the combina
tion which the Government Is seeking to
dissolve.
During the day Mr. Kellogg, for the
Government, succeeded In throwing light
on the loans made to T. M. Barnsdale.
of Pittsburg, the Independent oil pro
ducer. Mr. Archbold testified that loans
aggregating $7,"fl0.0uo had been made to
Mr. Barnsdale to enable him to continue
his oil operations in various parts of the
country, a part of the contract being
that all the crude oil produced by Mr.
Barnsdale should be carried in the Stand
ard's pipelines.
Sibley Is Standard Official.
During the day Mr. Archbold- testified
that ex-Congressman Joseph C. Sibley,
of Pennsylvania, was identified with the
Galena-Signal Oil Company, a subsidary
of the Standard. It was to Mr. Sibley
that Mr. Archbold addressed many of his
letters, wnicn were made public during
the recent Presidential campaign.
Mr. Archbold was asked about the per
centage of business done by the Standard
interests In 1879, but said he could only
state that it was large. Mr. Kellogg
called the attention of the witness to evi
dence given several years ago by H. H.
Rogers that In 1S79 the Standard and Its
affiliated interests produced 90 to 95 per
cent of the refined oil manufactured.
Why Rivals Were Bought Out.
"If you had that amount of production,
do you still say. as stated by you yester
day, that you acquired the plants on the
seaboard to increase your volume of busi
ness?" "I cannot say what percentags of busi
ness we were doing."
Mr. Kellogg was seeking to show that
In reality the Standard did not purchase
certain seaboard refineries to increas tho
SPEAKS TO JEWISH WOMEN
Dr. Ijx)tt Praises Work of the Organization.
At the regular monthly mcetliu? of the
Council of Jewish Women yesterday af
ternoon, one of the most Instructive and
entertaining sessions of the year was
held. In connection with their wide
philanthropic work, a general Invitation
was Issued yesterday to members of
the Council to identify themselves with
the Visiting Nurses' Association here,
and it is expected that many women of
the organization will assist in the work.
Dr. Luther R. Dyott. of the First Con
gregational Church, gave a highly in
structive and finished lecture on "Relig
ion in Education." His talk was Inter
spersed with clever anecdotes In a happy
vein. Dr. Dyott laid special stress on
the work being done by the Government
for Immigrants. It U a well-known fact
that the Council of Jewish Women Is do
ing much to aid in the reclamation ind
welfare of girls of their nationality. The
Clara de Hlrsch Home in New York
takes care of Hebrew immigrant girls,
and during the past three years the
agents of the Council of Jewish Women
have investigated 2700 cases. Dr. Dyott
said, tracing them on through other cit
ies by means of the council's branches
and bringing them back to clean work
and right living. During the two dull
months of the past Summer the council's
imigrant station worker advised and
helped In all 5450 women and girls, 4599
men and 4292 children.
Miss Florence Kohn gave an excellent
paper on current events, which was par
ticularly interesting and well received.
The feature of the afternoon was the
'cello selections by Charles Duncan Raft,
an amateur who Is comparatively new to
Portlanders. as he is a recent arrival
here from the East. Mr. Raff's numbers
were "Reverie." from Botticinl, and Von
Goem's "Song Without Words."

veiled hints to the effect that more in
dictments may be expected.
May Indict Accomplices.
It -is 'believed generally here that the
next indictments will name the alleged
accomplices. It became apparent that
women are to figure largely in the case
and that in some respects it will parallel
the recent McGill case at Clinton. In
each case a wife was suspected of having
been poisoned.
The day began serenely for Dr. Bray
field in his home hamlet down here in
EgVt- The grand Jury at Benton, 11
miles away, was getting ready to return
Indictments, but Dr. BrayfieM had been
led to believe that efforts to secure his
indictment had failed utterly. Therefore,
with perfect composure, he boarded the
noon train on the Eldorado branch of
the Illinois Central to go to Benton as
expert witness in a lunacy case. On the
train Dr. Brayfield was surprised by the
statement that indictments had been
voted. Rather testily he declared that all
statements made by Myron Whlttemore,
of Chicago, special counsel for the Royal
Neighbors and Modern Woodmen, were
untrue. He Bald that somebody would
suffer for the statements made about
him.
Dr. Brayfield is a well-built man, with
aquiline features, iron-gray hair and a
lip thatched by an exceedingly heavy
Iron-gray mustache. He displayed much
dignity and an utter lack of nervousness.
It was suggested that the exhumation
of bodies would be an effective way to
settle the question, but Dr. Brayfield
expressed the opinion that nine months'
burial would operate to defeat all efforts
to discover arsenic or other poisons, even
though it were there. Then he hopped
off the train and entered the Courthousa
to testify In the lunacy case. He made
haste to get through In time to catch a
4 o'clock train back to Mulkeytown.
When he emerged from the lunacy hear
In Sheriff Thomas Odum and deputy
were In the hall waiting to serve a b?nch
warrant, charging murder. When they
accosted the doctor and began searching
his pockets he stood patiently as though
such treatment might be expected at
every street corner any day in the ve.nr.

VIENNA, Dec. 2. The dual empire to
day celebrated the diamond jubilee of
the accession of Francis Joseph to the
throne. His Majeuty became Emperor of
Austria and King of Hungary December
2. 1S4K. on the abdication of his uncle,
Ferdinand I.
' Misses and special te deum services in
the cathedral and the churches of Vienna
marked the beginning of the period of
festivities. His Majesty attended the
service in the Hofburg Chapel. He drove
to the palace through the streets in an
open carriage, accompanied by the mem
bers of the imperial household. He was
greeted everywhere with cheers from the
people who crowded the streets, coming
from all parts of the empire to be
present at the festivities.

At the conclusion of this service. His
Majesty received the felicitations of the
members of his family and also from
deputations of civil bodies, the military
establishments, etc. '
The te deum at St. Stephen's Cathedral
was most 'imposing. The congregation
was composed of the Archdukes and the
Archduchesses of the empire, representa
tives of the noble houses of Austria and
Hungary,- members of the Cabinet and
court officials and their ladles. The men
were in full dress uniform and the women
were clad in magnificent costumes. The
display of diamonds and jewels bneath
the lofty archas of the famous cathedral
was marvelous.

The entry of the United States into the

agreements has caused surprise, but while
making sure of the tranquillity of the

the agreement is not regarded at Pekin
