LORIENT, France, February 9.?As the result of an explosion on torpedo boat No. 839 of the French navy yesterday morning, nine men are dead and two are injured. Torpedo boat No. 339 was launched not long ago, and at the time of the accident she was undergoing her full-power steam trial in the roadstead prior to being placed In commission. A technical navy committee was on board. The trial was successful, but as the boat was returning to her anchorage a safety tube forming part of the evaporation apparatus burst, and as a result a mass of flame was forced Into the stokehole, where the engineer, a quartermaster and nhie stokers were at work. The engineer and eight of the stokers were instantly burned to death. Their bodies were praeticAIly reduced to cinders. The other stoker was severely injured. The quartermaster succeeded in escaping from the hole with superficial burns only. The reason for the accident is that the automatic doors, which should have closed I to Drevent the return of the flames to tha stokehole, did not work. PRAISES ROCKEFELLER PASTOR.

RESERVATION IS DESIRED Chairman Gates Does Not Know What Prompted It?Free to Dispose of Other Sums. NEW YORK, February 0.?Telegrams of congratulation from men Interested in education In various parts of the country reached the office of the general education board at 54 William street yesterday In large numbers as a result of the $32,000,000 contribution to thfi hnnrd thp dav hpfnrp hv John D. Rockefeller. Dr. Wallace Buttrick, secretary of the board, when asked If the gift had resulted In any Increase In the pleadings for first aid to the needy, replied that this would be Impossible, inasmuch as the board had had applications for help from about all the educational Institutions long before the news of the latest ueiieiocuuii ntui gut auruau. The members of the board who were asked yesterday for more details of the gift had little Information to give out. Frederick T. Gates, chairman of the board, talked In a general way of?the donation and of some of the alms of the general education board. It was gathered from his brief talk that he is giving practically CU1 I1IB nUlKIUfi tJUUID I1UW LU Lilt) UirOCllUIl of hie educational and philanthropic ideas. Mr. Rockefeller, he said, is "out of business." "There is nothing especially significant, for Instance," said Mr. Gates in his office at 26 Broadway, "in the fact that the letter In which Mr. Rockefeller's gift was announced to the general education board was signed by his son. This Is but another exemplification of a truth which the public seems slow to grasp: That Mr. Rockefeller is out of business and has been for many years. I don't suppose he has been in this uiuuc iui veil j'carts. Made Through Representative. "Mr. Rockefeller's benefactions are made entirely through his representatives. This must not be taken to mean that he Is not familiar with the details of those benefactions, of course. At all times he Is quite familiar with the character of the gifts he may make, but the letters that announce these gifts are not written by him. In the many contributions he has made, Chicago University, for instance, I doubt if he has ever written a personal letter to accompany any of them." "Do you know of any special plan Mr. Rockefeller may have In mind tnat prompted the contribution of yesterday at I this time?" Mr. Gates was anked. "No, I can't say that there was any special plan?I don't know. Some weeks ago, perhaps longer, Mr. Rockefeller learned that the general education board could use much more money along the lines the board has been following, and the gift was then talked of first, and arrangements have been making for it ever since." The Two-Third Reserve. "Then you know of no particular reason why Mr. Rockefeller and his son reserve the right to direct the disposal of two-thirds of the $32,000,000?" "I kno*r nothing about that," was the renlv "Tho - - -a t,. j . x uv ilvv.v ?.nuv aui. ivu<.nciciici anu his son reserve this right is no indication that they will or will not do so. Despite the reservation, this gift leaves the board more free to dispose of the interests of it than In the cases of the first donation of $1,000,000 or the second one of $10,000,000, which he gave some time ago. The $1,000,000 donation, for instance, was accompanied by the specification that the money was to be used 'for the study and promotion of education In the southern states,' and In the letter that announced the still later gift of $10,000,000 It was specified that it ten R tn hp Uflpd In tho vw v??v >uiiiiciauv,c vi 'higher edu<Jh.tlon," which prevented any help from the board to common schools. "But the gift announced yesterday merely specifies that It is to be applied to the specific objects 'within the corporate purposes' of the board. This permits the board to aid any institution from a kindergarten to a post-graduate school, to promote specific Investigations or do anything else except aid in the teaching of theology. Theological work is denied by the charter of the board." The charter allows of tremendous scope, however, Mr. Gates said. Members of the board say that the greatest sense of responsibility to them lies in the wide possibilities permitted by the charter rather than In the vastness of the sum of money at their disposal. "As to the nature of the securities - hich Mr. Rockefeller announced he would give to the board yesterday I know nothing," said Mr. Gates in answer to an inquiry. "These securities are to be turned over to the board on or before April 1, and we shall know nothing of them until that time. Mr. Rockefeller Is In perfect accord with the work the board has been doing and so we do not know of any reason that would cause either him or ms son to cnange the system we have worked out. The Conditional Gifts. "With the money now on hand there Is no doubt In the minds of the members of the board that through the conditional contributions we shall make during the next ten years a sum of $200,000,000 or $250,000,000 will have been raised for educational purposes throughout the country. The conditional gifts to colleges seem always to stir up entnusiasm among me supporters of the Institutions. In fact the colleges that have applied to us would rather have the help from us come conditionally. When an alumnus. for instance, hears that his college will receive a certain sum provided a like or greater amount is raised by subscription he goes down into his pocket gladly. The result is that the institution gets two or three times the amount that it would if we gavt the money unconditionally." Dr. Butterlck gave an instance of this when he told of a call he had received yesterday morning from President H. N. Snyder of WofTord College, Spartanburg, S. C., to which the board awarded $25,000 one year ago on condition that the institu tlon would raise $100,000. Increase of Students. terick, "that he has raised $111,000 to date terlck, "that he has raised $111,000 to date and that he wants us to hold off our $25,000 until he raises another $19,000, because of the salutary influence of the conditional gift. I have received a similar letter from President A. P. Montague of Howard College, in which he says he has not only AAA .... ? S I 1 OiBCU *<U,VK*/ UCCduOC U1 IUC tUUUUIUUB 1IIIposed by the board, but. that his tours throughout the atate after subscriptions have resulted in a large Increase of students during the last year. The money in itself is, of course, of great importance, but even more important still is the way these conditional gifts help to build up IopaI minrmrt for & eollesre." Mr. Oates said he could give no total of Mr. Rockefeller's gifts as they had never been tabulated. To find out just how much he has given away, continued Mr. Oates, it would be necessary to have a man go over the books for some time. Mr. Rockefeller, he said, does not know the total himself. Mr. Rockefeller is now out of the city and at last accounts was traveling through the south. The threatened strike of the firemen on the Norfolk and Western railway has been averted for the time being at least, and after a conference among the high officials of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Firemen, the railroad officials and the Roanoke Chamber of Commerce officers It was announced that a settlement of all differences la in sight, i ICE TBTJST EVIDENCE GONE. New York Attorney General Kisses Report and Exhibits. ALBANY, N. Y., February All the evidence on which was based the complaint of Attorney General Julius Mayer against the American Ice Company, for dissolution of an alleged monopoly of the Ice business, served on uecember 20. Has disappeared from the attorney general's office and cannot be found. * This announcement was made last night by Attorney General William S. Jackson. Mr. Jackson also made public affidavits of employes of the attorney general's office, which show that a part at least of the papers were known to be missing late in December, before the retirement of his predecessor, Mr. Mayer, but that the disappearance of the evidence was not known to Mr. Jackson until early in January, when, after he himself had assumed office, he took up the case with a view of further proceedings. Mr. Jackson said that he had served a demand upon the American Ice Company for access to Its books and records for the purpose of replacing the lost evidence, and that the company had asked until Monday in which to make answer. \tr ? ?? ? >. unvnauu o am tliUl 11 lilt* Iffused he would apply for a court order compelling the corporation to give him the desired access. The missing evidence Includes the original report (about thirty-one typewritten pages) made to Attorney General Mayer by John R. McNellle, the expert accountant who undertook an exhaustive examination of the ice company's books, and forty-four vuiuiiiiuuus ?iiiu utility exnioius in ampnncaticm thereof. In an affidavit made public by the attorney general Mr. McNellie swears that while he retained In his possession a duplicate copy of his report he "did not retain nor has he ever had In his possession or under his control copies of the exhibits attaciied thereto, and no copies thereof were ever made to his knowledge, and deponent cannot make up or reconstruct said exhibits." "This office has been thoroughly searched." said Mr. Jackson, "but nothing can be found except a copy of the summons and complaint served by order of Attorney General Mayer upon the officials of the American Ice Company on December 20. All of the evidence upon which that complaint was based and referred to in It a a ground for the action is missing." On January 4 the following letter was addressed to Mr. Mayer by Mr. Jackson. who assumed office on New Year day: "After making careful search we are unable to find In this office any data, papers or proceedings in the. action brought by you as attorney general in the name of the people against the American Ice Company, except the summons and complaint. This office Is thus left without any information whatever to sustain the allegations of the complaint, or means of ascertaining the sources of information upon which the action was brought. Will you kindly Inform me further in this respect?" "Mr. McNellie swears that he has never had the exhibits of evidence since he submitted them with his report to Mr. Mayer," said Mr. Jackson. WOMAN STUFFS BALLOT BOX. Causes Uproar in Federation and Declares It Was Mistake. NEW YORK, February 9.?Sandwiched In with charges of ballot-box stuffing, unholy methods of obtaining votes, appeals to vote for this woman or that because she wore I such pretty clothes, the election of officers of the New York Federation of Women's Clubs took place yesterday at the Hotel Astor. A suggestion from Mrs. Clarence Burns that some philanthropic woman like Mrs. Clarence Mackay should open her home In this city for a meeting of working girls and their employes, along the lines that Mrs. Potter Palmer did for men in Chicago, began the trouble. While originally the suggestion would have aroused wild enthusiasm among the 250 women present, the fact that one worn |?u, 1U11UV.CUIIJ, au one UCUlitl CU, U1CU IU stuff a ballot box with a dozen or more ballots when the vote for president was being cast created a storm besides which a Tammany Hall primary paled into insignificance. Two tickets were in the field, headed respectively by Mrs. Harry Hastings and Mrs. William C. Story. The Hastings ticket was the official one. Several small ballot boxes were handed around, and the voting was proceeding with comparative quiet wnen suaaemy a woman was seen to shove a handful of ballots Into the box which had been handed her. Immediately the greatest uproar arose. Scores of excited members demanded the floor. All sorts of parliamentary motions were sent flying in the direction of the bewildered president. "Ladies!" she cried, and began to pound her gavel. Her lips moved, but what she said was lost in the general uproar. "Fraud!" cried some. "New ballot!" yelled others. "Shame!" "Put her out!" were other exefamations which could be heard above the din. Meanwhile the woman who had caused all the excitement sat still and white in her chair. When she caught the president's eye she rose and told the members that it was all a mistake, that she did not know that she had done anything out of the way, and if she had she was very, very sorry, and she hoped they would not be angry. Then she sat down. GREATEST WOMAN ARTIST Kiss Mary Ca3satt's Paintings to Be Secured for Paris Salon. NEJYV YORK, February 9.?Joseph Durand-Ruel announced yesterday that he had been requested to procure a collection of paintings by Miss Mary Cassatt of Philadelphia, a sister of the late A. J. Cassatt, for the next Salon d'Automnc. Coupled with the request was the information that the "salon" would devote an entire room to the wnrlr nf thrpp wpll-knnnrn a-nmon nn<nfAno i .? ? ?? I. W?1UU JJ nil I ?.v_ I .1 of the nineteenth century?the late Eva Gonzales, Berthe Morisot and Misa C&ssatt. Miss Cassatt, of course, Is actively at work and is not to be classed exactly as "of the nineteenth century." This, however, does not in any degree detract from the honor accorded her; In fact, rather adds to it. "It Is interesting to note," said Mr. Durand-Ruel In speaking of the matter, "that as Eva Gonzales and ISerthe Morisot are dead the Salon d'Automne's request Implies that it considers Miss Cassatt, who is an American, the greatest woman artist of the present day. The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C., has, by the way, Just purchased for its permanent collection Miss Cassatt's 'Mother and Child.' " _ p Attack Russian Finances. PARIS, February 0.?In the chamber of deputies yesterday the socialists, led by M. Jaures, continued their assault on Russian finances, insisting that the French market should-hereafter be closed to Russian loans, whether direct or Indirect, as the money derived therefrom was used to stifle the legitimate aspirations of the Russian people. M. Jaures further charged that Russia was now seeking In a roundabout way, through the ostensible purchase of railroad material, to securs funds to enable It to dissolve the coming parliament. The speech of the socialist leader constituted a veiled attack oil ex-Premier Rouvler, who Is supposed to be interested In th? companies which are furnishing railroad material to Russia. French Rente# Tumble. PARIS, February 9.?The income tax bill produced a bad impression on the bourse yesterday, rentes opening with a decline of 17 centimes from the previous day's closing price, and falling rapidly to 05 francs 35 centimes. Rent** continued to fall, and closed at the lowest quotations of" the day. Other issues, especially bank shares, participated in the decline on account of the Inquisitorial features of the bill, but there was nothing In the nature of a panic. In banking circles the tax measure is much criticised. esDecially the feature ner mitt ins the Inspection of deposit accounts, and the opinion is general that the bill will have to be modified considerably if it becomes law, which is not considered at all certain. It pays to read the want columns of The Star. Hundreds of situations are filled through them. ( i REVOLT JfTVENEZUELA Gen. Paredes Lands and War on Castro Will Begin. ^ > I pa ? ?i ? ?- ? ?- ? ? - - UNt WUKU TELLS STORY Significant Cable Dispatch [Received in New York. rjTTUnrTI AT. TT-DUTCT-W/I tit * inrrn v? MAI VJLAVXU1X1U 1 iiOil XI JDi/ Leader of Insurrection Issues a Proclamation to His Followers Calling for Righting of Wrongs. NEW YORK, February 9.?The longplanned Insurrection of Gen. Antonio Paredes against President Castro of Venj ezuela has begun. Nicanor Bolet, the locp.l representative of Gen. Pareres has receive ! a cable dispatch from the revolutionary agent at Port of Spain, Trinidad, which contained this one word, "Asigne," which, ! in the cipher code arranged between t he ! two points, meant: "Antonio has lan<l?'<l at i Pedernales." The message bore yesterj day's date, so the landing was effected probably on Wednesday. On that one code word there is a world of importance! It means that within two weeks nearly the entire republic of Ven! eiuela probably will be In the throes of an ! Insurrection, according to the friends of I the general. Gen. Paredes. who Is known ' as a brave leader, is said to have abundant | arms and ammunition to carry on a proi tracted campaign, and to have plenty of j funds. Two steam vessels have also been I fitted out. The prepartlons for the upris Ing were made In New York by the general himself. Sailed in December. Gen. Paredes sailed from this port on December 22, on the steamer Maraval, for Trinidad. On his last visit here hp remained only nine days?long enough to complete some details of his expedition. About a month ago, when he tried with sixty of his followers, officers who have seen service In Venezuela, to launch h'.s expedition from Trinidad, he was intercepted by the Prltish authorities. He thereupon went to a point in French Guiana. The general had picked out two places as favorable points to disembark, and before his arrival 3,000 rifles end 1,000,000 cartridges of the supply which he had obtained from Rurope with funds contributed here and abroad, were landed for distribution. Pedernales, where Gen. Paredes landed, is a small town in the state of Maturin, in the eastern part of the country. He expects to rally to his standard an army of from 5,000 to 8.000 men. Gen. Paredes is about thirty-five years old, and served in the Venezuelan army in the adniirtistratlon of President Andrade. As commander of the fort at Puerto X'abello, he resisted the onslaught of the army of Gen. Castro, who had just triumphed in his riH'filntlnn Huf Hon PoroHoo fnfuon/l to recognize his authority, and with a force greatly inferior in numbers to the attacking party he defended the fort until his ammunition was spent. Gen. Paredes was captured and imprisoned. He remained in prison at Maracaibo about three years, when he was released under an act of amnesty. He left Venezuela, however, and went to Trinidad, where he has remained in exile, always a consistent enemy of President Castro. Mr. Bolet, the representative of Gen. Parpdps in this Htv Knfrl v "The general has kept his word. He said he would wait until January for Vice President Gomez to exercise hlB rights under the constitution of assuming the presidency because of the incapacitation of President Castro by illness. He realizes that Gen. Gomez Is prevented from assuming thesn duties by the Castro clique, and has decided to put an end to the present regime by force of arms." Mr. Bolet was secretary of the Venezuelan legation at Washington while his father was the minister. He made public yesterday the following proclamation, left in his care by Gen. Paredes, which explains IiIh attitude and which will be distributed throughout Venezuela: Paredes' Proclamation. Antonio Paredes, Leader of the Legalists Revolution, to the Venezuelan People: Fellow Patriots: Seven years ngo Ciprlano Castro, as a result of the Incapacity, cowardice or treachery of those called to oppose him, obtained possession of the government of the republic, and presented in his own person all that quota of law and power according to which the existence of civilized society is regulated. Since then you have been the victims of the most degrading of tyrannies. At home you have been ruined, oppressed and humiliated; In foreign parts you have lost that respect which you hitherto possessed, even under former dictatorships Which, by reason of the perversity of the men and of the times, on the one hand, accomplished the downfall of Justice, while on the other, the Industries and the progress of the nation were in a flourishing condition. Liberty did not exist, but employment and wealth were not lacking. 1'nder the Castro regime favoritism and monopolies. as well as the absolute absence of guarantees, have caused the country to revert to a condition inferior to tl.at in whltli it was received from the Spanish rulers after portentious and prolonged combat. Fellow patriots, hitherto the leaders of the popular uprisings?which, unfortunate as they are, have been necessary fur the preservation of liberty?have mode you beautiful promises which they never have fulfilled, thus provoking new revolutions. I shall not imitate my predecessors. The best promise X can make to you is to present myself before you with a name which bears no blemish, and with my entrie life consecrated as a nrotest a:rainst iriius'ti'-e and disorder, for I am firmly and irreconcilably convinced of the necessity of establishing peace in the exercise of the law and in the uplifting of the national character. By the memory of my forefathers, who ever were sincere patriots; by the God of nations, I swear to you that, upon the triumph of the Legalista revolution, you shall possess a fatherland of which you may be proud. Soldiers, beneath the tricolored banner which enfolds you, all honorable Venezuelans, whatever may have been their opinions and political affiliations, may find place. . You represent right and justice, and all our fellow citizens worthy of the name will aid your efforts, for they know that upon your triumph depends the welfare of the fatherland. The few supporters of tyranny will be powerless against the defenders of honor and the future T>f the nation. Soldiers, as defenders of the law, you are called upon to observe exemplary conduct. Be advised that as I shall reward good behavior, so shall I punish with severity evil conduct and acts of insubordination. Your mission Is to liberate Vcnesuela from its oppressors, and you shall accomplish It. Prepare to fight and to conquer. Mrs. Gillette Gives Up. UTICA, N. Y., February 9.-Mr?. L,. M.
