Mrs Castle Discharged
London, Nov. 11.
Mrs. Walter M.
Castle of San Francisco, who was sentenced
at the Clerkenwell sessions on
Friday last to three months' imprisonment
without hard labor, after having
pleaded guilty by the advice of counsel
to the charge of shoplifting, was released
from Wormwood Scrubbs prison
yesterday on medical grounds by
order of the home secretary, Sir Matthew
White Ridley.
The commissioners of prisons, it appears,
directed the medical board to inquire
into and report upon her condi'ion,
which was causing anxiety to the
prison authorities She was watched
day and night by special attendants in
the infirmary and was shown every attention
possible The commissioners,
after receiving the report of the medical
board on the state of Mis Castle's
health, communicated with the home
secretary, who promptly ordered her
release from prison and that she be
placed under the care of her husband,
who has undertaken to take her back
to the United States without delay.
Mr Castle called at the home office
at 11 o'clock a. m, and was there informed
that his wife would be released
at 1 o'clock Accomnpanled by a nurse,
he entered a carnage and drove to
XWcimwood Scrubbs prison, where he
arrived at 12 45 p m, the jailer ushered
him into a waiting room, and, after
a brief delay, Deputy Northrup granted
the usual permission for the carriage
to enter the gates and drive to the door
of the hospital of the prison. There Mr.
Castle and nurse alighted and went to
the door. A few moments later, Mrs.
Castle, dressed in deep black, was almost
carried out of the hospital by the
female attendants She was deathly
pale, hei face was tear-stained and she
appeared to be on the verge of a collapse,
and sank fainting into her husband's
arms He tenderly embraced
her and tried to console her The
nurse enveloped Mrs Castle's face in a
heavy shawl and assisted her to the
carriage, where her head fell on, her
husband's shoulder and she sobbed hysterically
As the carriage passed out of the
prison gates the di ver applied his whip
and dove rapidly away

BOUNDARY QUESTION SETTLED
AT LAST.RRlS,
[TEXAS.It is to be Decided by an International Arbitrational
T:.bunal
Lord Salisbury's
Statement Brought Abouz the Announcement.
Washington, Nov. 11.
The king
of Sweden and Norway, Oscar II, has
been chosen by treaty between the
United States and Great Britain as the
fifth of final arbitrator of the Venezffelan
boundary question. The other arbitrators,
four in number, are to be
designated, two by the lord chief justice
of England and two by the chief
justice of the United States This is
the final and most important feature of
the treaty for the complete adjustment
of the pending Venezuelan controversy.
The treaty was concluded -in Washington
Monday night, at the British enmbassy,
Sir Julian Pauncefote representing
her Britannic majesty and Secretary
Olney the United States
Since the return of Sir Julian Pauncefete
from London three weeks ago,
negotiations toward a final settlement
have been proceeding. Most of the
meetings were of such an important
character that they were held either at
Mr Olney's residence or at the British
embassy, the two houses being but two
blocks separated It happened that the
concluding meeting was at the embassy
Monday and special interest was given
to it from the fact that Lord Salisbury,
the British premier, was to make a
speech at Guild Hall, London, in the
.evening It is an annual event at which
the premier usually takes occasion to
review the status ojf the most important
international questions For this leasor,
it was desired, if possible, to acquaint
Lord Salisbury of the final and
satisfactory adjustment of the Venezelan
question in order that he miolht
make such announcement as he thor ght
fit concerning it.
When Mr Olney and Sir Julian
reached their final conclusions, a cablegram
was at once dispatched to Lord
Salisbury, notifying him. of the result
It reached him within one hour of the
time when he went on the platform at
Guild Hall, and it was the basis for his
announcement to England and the entire
world that the Venezuelan controversy
was settled It was a general announcement
without detail and without
any reference to the personnel of the
court of arbitration.
Thus Washington and London pare-.Iwated
ia tiLs -evenul sucenc by wilch
i the two leading English-speaking naI
tions reached an amicable means of adjusting
the most troublesome international
question of recent yeais
