LONDON, July 26. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) The condi
tion of affair In the British cabinet l un
precedented. Every day becomes wider the
cleavage between the minority of six, who
support Balfour and Chamberlain In the
protectionist policy, and the majority of
twelve, who follow the duke of Devonshire
and Chancellor of, the Exchequer Ritchie
In adhering to free trade .doctrines.
But, while both sides are supposed to be
muzzled until October, when each will be
free to stump the country, the free trade
torles have discovered that a confidential
agent of Chamberlain has been sending
private circulars to their election agents
to get material 'to undermine them with
their constituents. So the feeling Is grow
ing very bitter.
Everything points to Chamberlain being
snowed under when the general election
comes next March. Even his brother
Arthur has come out against him, and the
Birmingham Dally Post, his staunchest
supporters heretofore, has followed suit,
while the London Standard and the Pall
Mall Gazette, after sitting on the fence
for soms weeks, have definitely decldnd
with the free trade tories. 6ffers are
being made by a large uncommitted section
of the tory party to induce Chamberlain
to droo his new policy. But he has gone
too far for that and the unionist party Is

toad's View of Chamberlain.
William T. Stead publishes tha following
..i.mini Chamberlain:
"It is now clear that the man who has
exercised a baleful ascendancy over the
fortunes of the British empire for seven
v.m la doomed. Whether the British min
istry survives the debates of next week or
whether it lingers for a month or a year,
Vr. Chamberlain's career Is over, and the
world will soon be free from the menacing
shadow of a statesman who has been the
curse of hla country ever since he took a
hand In tha Jameson-Rhodes plot against
the Transvaal republic He falls aa he rose
by his own hands. He has been seir-un
' made, aa ha was self-made. After deserting
V the liberal party over home rule, he has
jiow shattered the unionist party by his
plunge for protection.
"There la a grim nemesis presiding over
this tragedy of a great career. When Mr,
Chamberlain came home from South Africa
he found that everyone was sick and. tired
of the war and more or less disappointed by
Its result. He soon discovered that the
education act was hated and aroused
temper of resistance in the country which
would be Inevitably fatal to the ministry
unless something very sensational could dl
vert public attention from the question
"The Irish land bill he did not Ilka He
believed It to be unpopular with the British
taxpayers and probably Ineffective aa

Worst pf all, from his own point of view,
was the Imminent probability that the
Transvaal, owing to the dearth of native
labor at the mines, would be unable to pay
the Interest on the loan which he had sad
died upon tha new colony. If the ministers
were not content to wait In dull despair the
rising of the tide of publte indignation
which would overwhelm them, somethln
must be done to force a new Issue upon th
public
Isa.raat and Headstrong.
"Mr. Chamberlain, who Is as Ignorant as
he Is headstrong, did not hesitate long as
to his course of action. He seldom does.
He Is honestly deluded as to the possibility
of converting the heterogenous congeries of
self-governing republics which are labeled
the British empire Into a real Ironclad lingo
empire a military unit, a taxable unit and
fiscal unit.
"He tried t make It a military unit at
the coronation, and Sir Wilfred Laurler
checkmated him. He tried to Induce the
colonists, who pay 66 cents a head for the
Imperial army and navy, to raise their con
tribution to the British standard, under
which every man. woman and child pays
close upon 16 per annum for war purposes.
But the colonists laughed him to scorn.
"One last resort alone remained. By
means of a preferential tariff he Imagined
he could make the empire Into a kind of

(Copyright. 1!0J, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, July 25-(New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram.) Lester Ward of
Washington, D. C, the sociologist of the
Smithsonian Institute, who occupied the
president's chair at the recent International
Congress of Sociology In Paris, made a pro
found Impression at the third day's session
by a definition of the mission of sociology
as simple as It was profound.
Several eminent Russian and French socl-
ologlrts were present, and the discussion
had' been warm as to where the field of
sociology begins and where that of psych
ology ends; what are their relations; what
their respective functions. It was a dis
cussion of savants and the outside world
was excluded.
Mr. Ward's speech was brief and pithy. It
was In keeping with his unpretentious man
ner. He Is proud of the fact that he Is a
"self-made man."
"Sociology," he said, "has to do with the
soul of man, of which the mind Is only the
eye. The great enemy of mankind Is Ignor
ance; the weapon to combat It Is truth. To
Inculcate truth In mankind there Is need of
education In the largest sense of the word,
education of society by society. France at
this moment Is going through a struggle to
obtain this education, and I hope she will
succeed."
It was a deep, true human note, simple
and not new, but so Imbued with the sin
cerity end dignity of the speaker that the
hole audience applauded warmly. Then
the previous speakers rose, one after an
other, to testify their belief In the speaker's
assertion and their respect for him.
In the discussion of folklore and its re
lation to sociology, an eminent Russian
savant one of whose special fields Is folk

Is annoyed at the newspaper talk about
prizes having been offered by a committee
of the St. Louis exposition for a ballooning
contest.
'1 want to say,", he said to the World cor
respondent yesterday, "that I have no e
clal notice that such a prize has been of
fered. The commutes won't even answer
the communication from the Aero club of
France oil the subject.
"But even If I were to be notified now
that such a prize was offered the notice
would be yery short. I cannot afford to
take a balloon to St. Louis unless a sub
stantial prize la offered. The committee's
methods seem very unbusinesslike.
"The report that I am to take a party of
friends to Trouvllle this month In my
mammoth balloon No. 10 Is not true. It will
not be ready for more than a fortnuthtand
then I shall be obliged to experiment myself
with baskets containing weights equivalent
to the weight of twelve persons. So It will
be well Into next month before I can extend
a balloon Invitation to newspaper men."

Subsequently, and for a long period, the

sensational burglaries. Many ancient cha

that these robberies were committed under
the direction of Parmegglanl. It la also

The two women, who were tall, broad

BEDFORD BABY SURELY DEAD
Child Which Has Been Cnuse
Trouble Now Beyond littlu
.of Controversy.
of
(Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, July 25. (New York World Ca-
Diegram. special Telegram.) The cele
brated Bedford baby la dead beyond all
doubt. The Infant that the wife of Gun
ning S. Bedford of New York produced
after the death of her husband aa heir to
his estate was burled on July 15, under the'
name of Eugenie Frederlque Bedford, the
name placed on the birth register In
Notre Dame parish February 21.
It was for falsely registering this babe's
birth in London that an Engllxh court Im
posed a fine of M on Mrs. Bedford, who Is
now In New York City. The World cor
respondent went to Mezleres, In the de
partment of the Sarthte, In the northwest
ern part of France, to Investigate the re
port of the babe's death. He found that
Mrs. Bedford hadcummltted the Infant to
tne care oi Mme. Le noun, a nurse, who
was found and who said that her charge
died July 13, which Is true, as the official
records disclosed.
Mme. Le Boutl said the babe had always
been delicate. She said also that the ex
penses for the care of the babe had been
defrayed by Alfred Thomas, who appeared
as godfather when the birth certificate waa
registered In Paris, and that Thomas will
have the body removed to a reception tomb
In Montparnasaa cemetery at Paris, to
await Mrs. Bedford's order as to Its final
disposition.
The World's correspondent has seen the
last letters written to Mrs. Bedford be
fore she left for New York by Eugene L.
Bushe of 10 Broadway, New York, trus
tee of the estate of Gunning S. Bedford.
The trustee admits that Mrs. Bedford baa
rights under her husband's will, and says
no court has ever decided that the child
had no. right under the same Instrument.
It Is learned that Mr. Bushe counselled
Mrs. Bedford to delay her visit to New
York until October, but she consulted a
noted palmist, who advised that an Immedi
ate voyage was necessary and predicted
the child's death. It waa the palmist who
cabled the first news of the child's death
to America.
NEW YORK, July 25. In spite of rumore
that further failures were likely, the stock
market showed a better tone today than
was anticipated. The opening was rather
excited on heavy dealings, with price in
most cases higher than yesterday. The Im
provement did not hold, however, and in a
few minutes prices were declining all
around.
The first sensational break occurred In
Rubber GoodB Manufacturing shares, the
common falling 7 points on a first sale of
2,000 shares at 24, followed Immediately by
one of 6,000 shares at the same price. The
preferred opened at 80, a decline of 10 since
yesterday. This was one of the companies
Irt which Talbot J. Taylor and James R.
Keene were heavily Interested.
The largest Interest of this firm was In
Southern Pacific, which developed further
weakness today right at the start. After
opening up 1. It ran off sharply, affect
Ing the rest of the list, and causing reces
sions of 1 to 3 points In many standard
issues. The particular weakness of Read
ing attracted some attention because Mr.
Keene had frequently done much In that
stock.
Mexican. Centrals Steady.
Mexican Central Issues, with which the
Stow people were Identified, were steady
for the common, which opened 4 up, with
Bales of 4,000 shares, at IS, and the first
Income bonds 1 point up at 154; but the
second Incomes were more than 3 points
off, with heavy sales. These shares held
fairly well for a time, but later eased off
somewhat.
After the recovery In the general mar
ket prices ran off sharply In the last half
hour, when the bank statement appeared.
The showing made by the bank was reason
ably good, there being an Increase of about
$5,000,000 In surplus reserves. The late sell
ing was largely due to the fears that an
other failure might be announced.
It was said In Wall - street today that
much of the selling done by Harris, Gates
Co. during the last week, which had at
tracted considerable attention, was for the
account of Talbot J. Taylor St Co.
Brokers Work AU Might.
Brokers and their clerks worked until late
last night and in some Instances were Is
suing calls to their customers for additional
margins. The attendance on the floor of
the exchange was unusually large for a
midsummer Saturday.
Prices for Americana In London were gen
erally better and helped to Impart steadi
ness to the local market at the opening, but
gains here were not up to those made In
London. Orders to buy the standard rail
road stocks were well distributed, so-called
bankers taking blocks of New York Cen
tral. Almost every commlwlon house re
ceived orders to buy at declines.
The representative of a leading western
house was reported to have purchased mod
erately of the grangers. There was also
some buying of an Investment character.
The list steadied off by the end of the first
half hour.

ROME, July 26. Although outwardly all
attention waa concentrated on the funeral
preparations today, the chief Interest at
theVutlcan centered In a hunt for th
famous fisherman's ring. This, the chief
emblem of papal honor for eight centuries,
has disappeared and no one can locate it.
Intrinsically it is worth little or nothing,
but the carved stone, being traced back
to St. Peter, has an exceptional value a
a relic to members of the Roman church,
consequently the news of Its losa completely
overshadowed the funeral of the dead
pope, which took place this evening. To
the populace the loss waa not announced
and they paid their last respects uncon
clous of the calamity, but tha sacred col
lege and other ecclesiastical authorities
were overwhelmed.
When the cardinal camerllngo certlfle
the death of the pope he receive the fish
erman's ring from the chamberlain of
his holiness. It Is then destroyed In the
presence of all the cardinals at tha first
meeting of th sacred college held after th
pope' death.
But when Cardinal Oreglia, the present
camerllngo, had certified to the death of
Leo XIII, Mgr. Blsletti was a prey to
the deepest despair and had to admit that
the ring had disappeared. Cardlnul Oreg
lia, who had, as Is the custom, brought
his declaration of having received the ring
from the papal chamberlain all written out,
had to put It back In his pocket.
No Clue to the Robher.
Mgr. Blsletti can give no indication
as to the robber. Several conference have
taken place, at one of which Cardinal
Oreglia officially certified to the pope
death. During this time a large number
pf parsons entered the death chamber.
The dlaappearance of the ring ha caused
a tremendou sensation at tne Vatican,
where It 1 th sole subject of conversa
tion. ,
Meantime In th certificate of death of
Leo XIII allusion to receiving the ring ha
been suppressed.
, Friends of Mgr. Blsletti hop that
when the eal are removed from the cab
inet of the late pope the ring will be found
In one of them. .
Ring Lost Twice Before.
The ring I known to have been lost
twice before. Among the state papers pre
served at Slmancas. near ValladlollJ, Spain,
is a letter from Count Ollvare. then
Spanish ambassador at Rome, to Philip II,
dated September 6. 15K8, saying:
Slxtus V has been 111 from anxiety and
vexation. ' The vexation to which I refer
was at missing t' a fisherman's ring. He
carried it with him In a purse and discov
ered that he had been robbed of It by a
cup bearer. Unless the publicity given to
the affair oblige him to punish the man
he will not do so, or even dismiss him,
such is his affection for those who serve
him. The pope would do anything to avoid .
showing the world thul his contldaiic had
been abused.
Once Before Lost by Leo.
In September, 1899, the late Pope Leo
waa one day Insistently asked for an audi
ence by an under servant an.d, yielding to
curiosity, he granted It, whereupon th
man entered and, kneeling, said:
Your holiness, I have to restore to you
what has been a loss not only to you, but
to the world.
After these words the man proffered the
fisherman' ring. Pope-Leo looked at It In
surprise and then said:
The thanks of the church are due to
you. my son. 1 will see that you are rewarded.
The next day the man called at the
treasury and was given $3. The ring has
never been seen since, as Pope Leo pri
vately hid or locked It up, so great was
his fear of losing It. 80 far It has not
been discovered, but the Vatican authori
ties declare It will undoubtedly be found.
On two other occasions the ring was
taken from the papacy by force. In 1797
the French republicans. Invading the papal .
estates, despoiled Plus VII of all his val
uables and among them the fisherman'
ring. It was returned th next day, a it
had no Intrinsic value.
On another occasion, when Plus VII was
kidnaped In th middle of the night, h
was made to give up the ring, but first
broke It in two pieces, which were kefpt In
Paris until returned to Rom by Louis
XVII.
Pope Leo Laid to Rest.
Pope Leo was Interred In St. Peter' to
night. The strokes of a hammer resound
ing through the Immense dome announced
to th earnest feathering In the nav that
Leo XIII had been laid to rest. At sun
down the most Important and solemn of all
th obaerqulea took place.
About 1,000 person had received Invita
tions to attend the ceremonies. The car
dinals, who met earlier In the Vatican,
entered the chapel choir, waiting there for
the arrival of the procession, Cardinal
Oreglia, the camerlengo, holding the keys
of command. Cardinal Rampolla, as arch
priest of the basilica, was waiting outside
the gutes. In violet robes, surrounded by
tha chapter of the cathedral, which waa
led by Mgr. Cepetelll, who conducted the
service. Drs. Laponnl and Mazzoni di
rected the work of removing the bier,
which was executed by eight sedlart, at
tired In brilliant red costumes. At first
they tried to raise the blor, but, finding It
too heavy, they slowly slid It onto a low
car with noiseless wheels. Then, to the
strains of th "Miserere," which walled
through the lofty church and, preceded by
a glittering cross held aloft, th procession,
carrying candle and torches, slowly left
the chapel and went up tho church, pass
ing the bronze statue and beyord the shrine
of St. Peter, the gathering falling to it
knee a the bier pussed.
St. Peter' I peculiarly fitted to b the
background of such a scene. The cold
whiteness of it vust pillars showed up the
bright uniforms of the guards, the violet
robes of tb clergy. a&4 Ui bier, wail the
