PllirPS TO BE CHOSEN NEW YORK, Feb. 1. John D. Rockefeller on Jan. 1, tendered his resignation as a director of the United States Steel Corporation.

The following statement was made on behalf of the United States Steel Corporation: "Much as everyone interested regrets the resignation of Mr. Rockefeller, we must acknowledge the force of the reason he assigns for his action and must respect his wishes. Probably acceptance will be made at the regular meeting of the board on Tuesday the 2d inst. Many of the directors expressed a desire to have Henry Phipps selected to fill the vacancy to be created and It Is expected he will be unanimously elected and that he will accept." Representatives of the Steel Corporation say that no significances other than that mole clear in Mr. Rockefeller's letter should attach to his resignation. It is understood that he accepted the place as a director chiefly at the request of J. Pieruont Morgan. So far as is known he never attended any meetings of the board. His term as director would have expired In April. NEW NATUR. UJZATION TREATY WITH HAITI

In Cae Citizens Return to Haiti They Will Lose Citizenship After Five Years' Absence.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. In the executive session :o-day the Senate ratified the naturalization treaty between the United States aud Haiti. Six votes were cast In opposition. The treaty is different from the usual naturalisation treaties in that instead of extending naturalization rights it abridges them. It provided that citizens of Haiti, who may be naturalised in the United Slates and then return to Haiti should cease to be considered citizens of this "ountry after an absence of live years Senators Nelson and I'aturaon opposed this provision as contrary to the established policy of the United States and in response to inquiries. Senators Cullom and Dodge said the ratification could have no effect othr than that of saving the United States from complleat ions which were possible under the present system.

PARIS. Feb. 1. A number of the stockholders of the original Panama Canal Company have signed a petition to the minister of justice, M. Valle, praying for an injunction against M. Gautron, the liquidator of the company, and the appointment of a new liquidator on the ground that M. Gautron is incompetent to protect their Interests. M. Gautron holds sufficient stock of rhe original company to have a controlling voice in the proposed sale of the canal to the United States In explanation of this action an American official who assisted in the investigation of the company's affairs made by Attorney General Knox said to-night that this petition amounted to nothing, as the entire question had been fully considered by the courts during the previous litigation between the old and new companies. The question was. therefore, one which had been decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, and moreover the Ministry of Justice is in favor of sustaining the regularity of the company's present administration.

Ths read is thro' dolor and dread, over crags and morasses: There are shapes by the way. there are things that appall or entlc us; What odds? We are knights, and our souls are bent on the rid'ng. I hear In my heart. 1 hear In Its ominous pulses. All day. the commotion of sinewy, mane-tossing horses; All night, from their cells, the importunate tramping and neighing!

BBRLIK, Feb. 1 Nothing has been heard for weeks from Colonel Leutweln, the tlovernor of German Southwest Africa, who was making a long march from the Warmbad region toward his beleaguered forts northward. No runner has got through the revolting natives, who have ged all the outlying stations and are supposed to be in force between Windhoek and Colonel Leutwein's column of less thun c0) men, which was returning from the campaign against the Bondelzwarts in the territory forty-five miles south of Windhoek. The Hereros rose while Leutwein was still engaged with the Bondelzwarts. Chancellor Von Buelow announced in the Reichstag Jan., 18 that Colonel Leutwein was on a twenty days' march from Windhoek and It is now feared that Colonel Leutwein, in the tropical heat, encumbered by his sick men, harassed by the rebels and possibly deserted by his carriers, may have been unable to force his way through the hostile tribesmen and that he has been obliged to intrench himself and wait for the arrival of a res uing expedition. The idea that he has been overwhelmed is rejected officially, but this apprehension is expressed in the newspapers. The German consul general at Cape Town has transmitted a dispatch from the commander of the German forces left behind Colonel Leutwein. announcing that the Bond lzwarts surrendered Jan. 28 and also saying that the surrender of the Kharan mountain insurgents was expected.

GIFTED, BUT RECKLESS BERLIN, Feb. l.-The trial of Princess Alexandra of Ysomburg and Büdingen, who was declared a bankrupt Jan. 6, on the charges of fraud and breach of faith toward numerous firms at Frankfort, Munich, Cassel, Stuttgart and Constance, with whom she contracted debts recklessly without having the ability to pay, begar. to-day at Frankfort-on-the-Main. a The princess, as granddaughter of the last electoral prince of Hesse, inherited several baronials, including Waechtersbach and Falkenburg, near Cassel and Meringerau, near Munich, each having a fine old castle. After the two estates had been sold under foreclosure proceedings the princess occupied the Meringerau estate, where she resumed the contraetion ot debts with Munich and Augsburg merchants. When they pressed her for a settlement the princess fled to Switzerland. After the matter had blown over she appeared at Saecklngen, where she said she wanted to buy the famous castle there, which she eventually did. being supplied with ample drafts. Immediately after the purchase the princess ordered the castle to be refurnished with expensive antique furniture. A few days later she attempted to take possession of the castle, but found that the furriture had been sealed by the sheriff with t'ie seal of the former owner of the castle, who meanwhile had ascertained that the drafts were worthless, and had begun an action for the recovery jf his property. The princess again lied to Switzerland with a large sum of money obtain- d through a mortgage which she had partially placed on the castle. The princess then took up teaching, becoming principal of a high-class girls seminary on Lake Lucerne. She is described as being highly eccentric, which apparently caused her divorce from Baron Von Pageuhardt, who at various times had moved for the appointment of a guardian for the management of her estates. The trial to-day is the result of the discovery of grave evidence during the bankruptcy proceedings mentioned iu these dispatches Jan. 6. GOVERNMENT TROOPS SAID TO BE BEATEN
