A somewhat peculiar suit for damages was tjled yesterday against the Indianapolis Telephone Company by Karopp Ashjian et 1. Ashjian claims that he is a patron of the company, but that at the last issue of its directory, which contains the names, location And nature of the business of all of its patrons, the defendant omitted the name of this Karopp Ashjian firm, which is located on West Seventeenth street, and engaged In the manufacture of rugs. by this omission the plaintiff alleges that "he has been damaged to the extent of $3.000. The Court Is not only asked to grant whatever damage it thinics is necessary to recompense the plaintiff, but It also tsked to require the defendant to Issue a new directory. The complaint was unusual also for its length, containing thirty-nine closely typeWritten pages.

ST. FETERSBUI.G, June 1. Count Lamsdorff, minister of foreign affairs, who was attacked by Prince Dolgorouky, Monday evening; is none the worse for his experience. The prince tried to break a walking stick on the count's head, while the latter was walking in the street. The

prince is eccentric and probably demented. The correspondent of the Associated Press has obtained the following statement from a good source: Prince Dolgorousky after his arrest was in a condition of acute nerv ous excitement. He explained that his ac tion was due to personal resentment against the minister, who had failed to give him an appointment he desired and he expresses complete regret at committing euch a la mentable act of violence. The Emperor is highly indignant over tie episode and has directed the immediate medical examination of the prince in order that he may be detained. The prince will be placed in an asylum. If he is responsible for his actions he will be punished. The prince is an opponent of Count Lamsdorff's policy and Is said to have become Insane through brooding over his alleged grievances. Dolgorouky formerly was an officer In the Imperial Hussars, but Is now on the retired list. At one time he was connected with the Foreign Office as an attache at Vienna. Since then he is said to have been a constant applicant for' a position in the foreign service, but without success. He belongs to the Slavophile party, strongly opposed to- the pacific policy of the minister of foreign affairs. According to the story current in this city, the prince met Count Lamsdorff in the street Monday evening and without warn ing struck him on the head with a walking stick. In so doing he is said to have calmly announced that he chastised the foreign minister in the name of the wnole Russian people. Police agents rushed to the scene and seized the prince, who immediately handed them a card, saying it was a pri vate affair. Nevertheless he was placed under arrest. Prince Dolgorouky i9 well known in St. Petersburg society for his eccentricities. He had frequently declared he was destined to great things in politics, had been a claimant to the throne of Bulgaria and had visited that country several times and was expelled. Not long ago the prince tried to commit suicide by shooting and still carries a bullet in his head. The Associated Press is authorized by the Foreign Office to contradict all the reports of Count Lamsdorff's impending resigna tion. DRIVER HAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM INJURY Amos Wilson, driver of one of the Furnas Ice Cream Company's wagons, had a narrow escape from death or serious in' jury last evening while attempting to cross Pennsylvania street in front of Pennsylvania street-car No. 459. Wilson was trying to keep out of the way of other cars, and had his face turned away from the car which Struck him. Before he was aware of his danger the horse was hit by the car and was knocked prostrate. The motorman. however, had seen the driver's peril and had managed to reduce the speed of the car sufficiently to avoid seriously Injuring the animal. Wilson was driving west at the time of the accident and the car was coming from the north.. The horse was apparently unhurt.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 1. The signature of the Ru?so-British treaty in settlement of the Canadian sealing claims, affixed yesterday, is generally accepted in diplomatic circles here as being the lir?t step in the adjustment of all outstanding differences between the two countries?. The announcement came as a surprise, no news of the negotiations having leaked out In St. Petersburg. The claims, which date back twelve year?, have frequently been the subject of representation by the British government, but Russia deferred action until March, when she notified Foreign Secretary Lansdowne that ?he" would negotiate a settlement. It 13 significant that the decision of Russia was reached at the same time that Great Britain determined to send Sir Charles llardinge as.hcr ambassador to St. Petersburg, avowedly in order to bring about a good understanding between the two nations. The Canadian claims were similar to those of the American sealers, which were submitted to The Hague arbitration tribunal over a year ago. When the award was given in favor of the American claimants, the Russian authorities, after examination, were convinced-that the arbitration tribunal would give an award in favor of the Canadians, and, therefore, preferred a direct settlement rather than undergo the expense of arbitration.

PARIS. June 1. Foreign Minister Delcasse, while in conference with Ambassador Porter this afternoon, said that exaggerated rumors concerning Fiance's intention to make a naval demonstration or to take other radical action in bringing about the release of Don Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley were purely fanciful. Assurances were alio given that the United States did not intend to adopt radical steps per.ding French eftorts to settle tho matter diplomatically. The request of the United States for the co-operation of France has produced a very favorable impression at the Foreign Office here, where much significance is attached to the request, as embodying the first distinct International recognition of France's paramount inlluence In Morocco. It is expected that this will lead to a more emphatic exercise of French authority v over Morocco, with the view to suppressing lawlessnes:? and the protection of foreigners, but the nature of the future steps is not announced pending the negotiations on the subject. M. Delcasse said negotiations were now progressing at Tangier and at Feze, the chief reliance being placed on the Sultan's yielding before the united representatives of France, Great Britain and the United States. TAXGIER, June l.-The United States cruiser Olympia, flying the flag of Rear Admiral Jewell, in command of the European squadron, and the cruisers Baltimore and Cleveland arrived here during the afternoon. There are no further developments concerning the kidnaping of Perdicaris and Varley, but a report Is current that eight days have been allowed the Sultan In which to produce the prisoners, beyond which time Tangier will he bombarded. This, report is not confirmed. ' LONDON, Juno 1. The Associated Press learns that the British minister at Tangier, acting on instructions from the Foreign Office here, is co-operating with the French minister in the endeavor to secure the release of Messrs. Ferdlcaris and Varley. It is believed here that if the captives release is possible It can best be achieved through French influence. There Is no intention at present to send a British fleet or squadron to Tangier, the view of the Foreign Office being that nothing would be accomplished thereby.

Amount of Itjiitsom Ankeil. WASHINGTON, June 1. It is understood that the price fixed by the Moorish' brigands for the release from captivity of Messrs. Perdicaris and Varley Is 155,100.

CHINA SIGNS A TREATY NEW YORK, June 1. At the dinner of the American Asiatic Association at Sherry's to-night, at which Prince Pu Lun was the guest of honor, the announcement was made that China has become 9 signatory to the Geneva convention. Later in the evening there was a remarkable Incident. After General Corbin had spoken in praise of the treatment the army had received at the hands of tho Chinese in Peking, Toastmaster Foord aroused tho wildest enthusiasm of the evening by toasting the Japanese navy. Half of the diners had gone, but those who remained cheered and cheered again and broko their glasses on tho floor after drinking tho toast. Rear Admiral Frederick Rogers, commandant at the Brooklyn navy yard, who was to have responded to the toast of 'The Navy," was absent. Mr. Fdbrd said: "I cannot refrain, even at my notions of observing strict neutrality, from speaking of another navy than that which we would have toasted had Rear Admiral Rodgers been here. Gentlemen, I ask you to drink to the success of' the Japanese navy, of whom we have hero a most fitting representative, Captain Takeshlta, naval attache of the Japanese legation at Washington." After the prolonged cheering and the breaking of the glasses Captain Takeshita said: "In drinking this health I wish to thank you, but I wish also that we shall drink to the Japanese navy banzai." None of the military men present would discuss the. Incident after the dinner. In making the announcement of the action taken by John Foord, former minister to Chill, who acted as toastmaster, said in part: "Since we last had the pleasure of entertaining the Chinese ambassador at Washington, he has been largely Instrumental In the successful negotiation ofthe new treaty of commerce between China and the United States, I have his permission to make this important announcement tonight, that the latest, if not also the greatest of his diplomatic relations, has been the bringing In of the Empire of China as a signatory of the Geneva convention. That, as you are aware, is the most recognizable bond between the civilized powers of the world, involving as it does a common agreement as to the rules of civilized warfare and rendering possible international co-operation in the care of tho wounded. The government of China has not only become one of the signatories of the Geneva convention, but the Red Cross Association has already been organized under the auspices of the EmpreFs Dowager, who has given substantial evidence of her sincerity in this movefnent. by personal subscription of one hundred thousand taels."
