IXJNDON. Nov. a. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Henry
Blrchenough, the special commlaaloner aent
by til Brltlkh Board of Trade to Investi
gate the present position and the future
prospect a of British trad In Bouth Africa,
has filed hi report. H la an able govern
ment official reporting to his department
And the report la regarded aa one of the
moat Important documents for the British
trad which haa been printed In fifty years.
Almost from the beginning to the end It Is
n acknowledgment of the superiority of
American trade method and th conse
quent success of the Americana In exploit
ing tha Bouth African trad.
Mr. Btrchenough comment on the Amer
ican method of Bending representatives
with experience who are able to conduct
all branches of bualnes and notes that the
Germans and American are sensible
enough, to combine where th production
m allied trade run naturally, together.
' sharing th expenses of representation,
whereas th British firm hold steadIy
aloof. Out of Johannesburg contracta for
11,000,000 worth of steel construction Amur-
' leans got $978,000. Th English firm are
now trying to get In by imitating Amer
ican method.
"Th rivalry of America when carefully
analysed," Mr. Berchenough reports, "is
seen to concentrate Itself upon a few well
defined branches of trade, such as agricul
tural Implement, mining machinery, eleo-
, tricaj machinery and equipment, steel
frame construction, machine tool for work
hop, steel tools, all kind of wire, cheap
furniture, vehicle in which steel plays an
Important part, a few manufacture such
a boot, shoes, hats, clocks, watches,
lamps, stove and saddlery.
"American competition I materially aided
by low freights, which competing British
steamship line carry ' In American car
goes from Nsw York to South Africa a
compared with freight from English ports
, to th same destination.' - .,
"Th particular point In which Amer
ican score over English manufacturer are
they ara expert at standardizing the vary
simplest job I done by gauge. If you have
a reaping machine 800 miles away from th
nearest agent you have only to look for the
number of th part broken, aend a wire,
tha next train brlnga th part required and
It fit on aa If It had been there before.
The facility for effecting repairs Induces
people to purchase American built machln,
ery when otherwise they would - prefer
British.
"Th general impression on form In
Bouth Africa I that th foreigner, es
pecially ther American, owe much of their1
success to th extraordinary activity and
alertness they show In th conduct of their
business .and the careful measure they
take to retain and extend their connections.
They are less conservative than their
British rivals, more willing to adapt them-
selves to th requirement and to even
the humors of purchasers, to listen to com
plaints and to carry out suggestions. They
succeed In making the customers feel that
buyer and sellers have common Interest
and should co-operate with h. other for
the Improvement of . the ar that con
cern them. Th. American! ' idy very
cloaely and carefully th loo. . condition
and the special requirements of the South
African market. Tha American excel In
catalogues, which ar admirably gotten up
and Illustrated to give Just tha Information
wanted. Th English catalogues ar greatly
I "'Improved, but a often- a not they do not
i state prices or sum Important detail.- In
competing for contract both the Amer
icana and the Germans draw up specifica
tions with greater attention to detail and
Selling points than do th British."

Indication of Reprisals Reeaste New
Pss Haa Not Bee a More
Conciliatory.
(Copyright, 1913, by Press Publlrhlng Co.)
R'JMK, Nov. a.-(New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) The tempo
rary disappointment caused all over Italy
by the fact that so far the new pope has
not yet broken the line of policy followed
by his Immediate predecessora and ha re
mained within th limit of the Vatican,
ha brought about reprisals on the part
of the Italian government. The appoint
ment of the Cardinal del Val aa secretary of
state aa accentuated the hostility of the
civil against the ecclesiastical power, not
only because of his foreign birth, but prin
cipally by reason of his well known oppo
sition to any scheme of conciliation with
Invaders of the papal dominions.
He is considered an enemy of Italy and
his recent promotion as prefect of the aos
tollc palaces, which give him practical
control of the Vatican finances, ha served
only to Inprease the rank of the opposi
tion. The first sign of reprisal appeared when
the new Italian premier, Slgnor Glollttl,
issued a circular letter to the prefects of
all the Italian provinces calling their at
tention to the great Influx of French mem
bers of religious orders Into Italy, caused
by drastlo lawa adopted In France agalnat
the religious congregations. Th Italian
premier sounds a note of warning against
the possibility that the laws of the coun
try governing educational Institutions may
be violated by the new arrivals, and urge
the prefect to watch carefully that none
of the religious order expelled from France
be allowed to exerctse any Influence dan
gerous to the educational system of th
country.
Another pretext for reprisal has been
found In the fire whioh recently took place
In tha Vatican and came near causing great
damage to the library and museums. An
Investigation ordered by th government
brought to light the fact that the Vatican
fir department was totally Inadequate to
th Importance of th treasure preserved
In the papal residence, consisting as It did
of only four firemen and a chief, of whom
only three could be found on the fatal
night. The attention of the government
was also called to the great danger caused
by the Immediate proximity of private
dwelling apartment to the library, muse
um and galleries, where such valuable
treasure are preserved, whoa loss would
ba absolutely Irreparable.
Plus X Immediately gave order for the
total .reorganisation and re-equipment of
tha Vatican fir department, which I now
more efficient than It has been for cen
turies past, and willingly agreed to the
suggestion of the Italian officials that all
apartment adjoining the museumsC library
or halls of archives be vacated and that
all store rooms in olose proximity to the
art treasures of the palace be emptied of
their content. In government circles, how
ever, auch measure are not considered
sufficient to safeguard th treasure In tha
Vatican, which are considered national
property. There is talk of enforcing th
fourth article of the law of guaranties.
which provide that the Italian government
may assume th direct control of the Vat
ican museums and library and the expenae
of their cuatody. In auch event another
slice of th papal possessions would fall
Into th hand of th government, but It
I thought th ooncllatory policy of Plus X
will avert auch a calamity, which would
greatly diminish th influence and tha In
come of tha Vatican author It lea. .
A serious consequence of the Vatican
fire waa the rather alarming Illness of Mgr.
Bressan, the favorite chaplain of the new
pope. He waa 111 In bed on the night of
the fire, but Insisted on taking part In the
work of the fire fighter, with the conse
quence that he contracted a severe attack
of pneumonia. He is now out of danger
and the personal visits of Plus X have
helped him considerably toward recovery.
The pope ha ordered two new carriage
totally different from those which are used
t present for his dally ride In the Vatican
, pn.. They greatly resemble th old
faahloned coaches In which the cardinals
take their ride through Rome and It Is
aid that Plus X Intends them for use when
he shall some day come out of his volun
tary prison. Plus repeated th expression
of hi wish to visit the Abbey of Monte
Caalno whei he received the abbot of the
Benedictines, Rev. Boniface Krug, from
whom he obtained all th detail of the re
cent visit by Emperor William to the his
torto monument. From what he said It is
fair to surmise that the pope himself seea
at least the possibility of a complete agree
ment with the Iltallan authorities In the
near future.

The French prime minister. Sonator
Combes, waa Interviewed by the World
correspondent In his small villa at Pons,
near this town, where he atopped before
his return to Paris, and gave an extremely
Intereating account of his romantic career.
Premier Combee Is one of the hardest
worked men tn France, and while he Is In
Paria Mme. Combes says ahe haa very
little chance of conversing with her hus
band, as he works nineteen hours each
day. Besides his official business he per
forms several self-imposed tasks. At pres
ent he Is teaching himself the Russian
language. In the same way he haa learned
In the last three years without any teacher
first German, then English, and afterward
Spanish. When he has made some progress
in the Russian language he lntenda to
learn Basque, the language spoken by the
people In the Pyrenees, and the Breton,
spoken In the French province of Brit
tany. "One must have something to divert one's
thought." observed M. Combea. "If one la
not fond of the theater, the coffee house
or card playing." And then the premier
proceeded to tell the atory of hla youth.
"I was born In the village of Roque
courbe. In the Tarn department," he Bald,
"the eon of a poor workman, whose only
fortune was hla ten children. One day
my father conceived the Idea of opening a
small hotel, and this business might have
made him a rich man, but he had a
brother, who waa a priest In the aame vil
lage. The latter noticed that the Inhab
itant liked to go on Sundays to the hotel
rather than to the church, and insisted upon
the hotel being closed, promising to .pay
my board and lodging in the next training
college for theological students.
Legacy Was Younger Brother's.
"Bom year afterward my father hear
ing died In the meantime, leaving my
younger brother without any fortune I
found -a humble situation In th school of
the Aasumptlonlst at Nlmes, where I wss
enabled to continue my studies and at
the aame time to earn some money. There
I prepared, my thesis on SaInT"Tboma of
Aquinas, endv the ' book which I -was
obliged to read tor this purpose opened my
eye to the' beauties of scientific philoso
phy.
"Afterward I accepted the situation of a
teacher at Pona, where I became acquainted
with my present wife, who was at that
lime much too rich for roe, for fehe had
110,000 and I had nothing. But love helped
ni and at last I Harried her, but was
forced to promise my father-in-law that
I would nt myself to practice aa a physi
cian - in tha place In the course of five
years.' I kept my word.
"During the five year of my medical
studies we should have had nothing but
1,(00 franca ($300) a year, the Interest on
my wife' fortune, a sum of course not
sufficient for us and my younger brothers,
had I not given lessons from I o'clock In
the afternoon until U o'clock at night. I
prepared myself for these lessons from 4
to I In the morning. From In the morn
ing till 5 In the afternoon I worked In
the hospitals and laboratories.
"This Is th reason," concluded Premier
Combes, smiling, "why I did not learn card
Playing, and must at present learn Rus
sian If I wish to divert my thoughts.

CONSIDER CHANGES IN CHURCH
Popo Considers Advisability of Shift
last the Jurisdiction Over
Several Countries.
(Copyright. 1903, by Press Publishing Co.)
RflMli Nov. a. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) A a announced
exclusively In the World more than two
months ago, the nope Is seriously c-rMd-ering
the advisability of taking from the
jurisdiction of the propaganda the church
In the United States and Australia, and
perhaps tn England and Ireland. The
American bishops have for a long time in
sisted that aa the church In their country
has made great progress during the last
fifty years It would be bnly Just that It
should receive the same consideration and
treatment an the church In Catholic! coun
tries; that is, be enabled to transact Its af
fairs through the channels of the regular
Roman congregations instead Of with the
propaganda alone. ' 1
The recent visit of Cardinal Moran to
Rome brought up the same question re
garding Australia, principally because the
propaganda Is suffering from congestion,
and many decision which are of the great
est importance cannot be rendered for
years, because of the multiplicity of busi
ness. In England and Ireland Just now
the Tablet and other prominent Catholic
publications are advocating that the church
In the United Kingdom be also exempted
from the Jurisdiction of the propaganda,
and the agitation promises to bring forth
Interesting results.
However, It la too early to announce
that a aolution of the difficulty haa been
found In the appointment of prlmatlal sees
In the several countries concerned, as such
n arrangement could not ponslbly give
one prelate jurisdiction over the others of
the same country without curtailing the
rights of third parties. The only solution
so far submitted is that or distributing
the transaction of the business of all Eng
lish speaking countries among the several
congregations of Rome, just as It I done
for Catholic countries, even If, In this
caae, the Anglo-Saxon countries do not
enjoy full official diplomatic relations with
the holy see. Such a step Would be taken
by way of exception, tn order to relieve the
congestion of th propaganda and expedite
the transaction of business, and also, In
cidentally, to increase the revenues of the
holy see by fee and taxes which Vre not
paid now, because the propaganda is by
institution obliged to transact all business
gratis.

BOOOTA, Nov. a. A man prominent in
public affairs today Informed the corre
spondent of the Associated Press that tha
Colombian government would await tha re
sult of the mission to Washington of Gen
eral Reyes before deciding upon its policy
with regard to the new Republlo of Pa
nama. The general opinion here la that
there will be war, but that the government
will first do ita utmost to effect a diplomatic
arrangement. United States Minister Beau
pre and the American colony here are
deeply grateful to the authorities for the
consideration shown to them. The belief Is
txpcfed In government circles that the
United States senate will not approve of the
action of Prosldent Roosevelt In regard to
affairs on the Isthmus. All parties here
have offered their aid to the government
and over 100,000 volunteers have tendered
their services in the event of a declaration
of hostilities. .
President Marroquin haa made tho fol
lowing statement to tho Associated Press,
in response to queries a to the political
aituatlon in Colombia:
"Urlted States Minister Beaupre and all
American here are surrounded with every
guaranty for their safety. My communica
tion to the United States senate and to the
people of the United States make manifest
the attitude of my government on the Pan
ama question. The aituatlon In the Interior
of the Colombian republic is quiet."
President Marroquln's reference to his
communication to the people of the .United
States Is explaned by the following address
which he has given the correspondent of
the Associated Press
To the American People
nerjcai
Cofoml
The President of Colombia to the Amer
ican People: The Colombian nation has
just been the victim of unexpected aggres
sion and is in danger of losing the best
part of its territory. A military movement,
not popular sentiment, waa the origin of
the proclamation of the independence of
Panama.
The American government, which always
had been held by Colombia to be Its best
friend and ally, prevented with marines,
loyal militia from subjugating the traltora
and checking the origin of the Insubordina
tion. The solemn treaty between Colombia
and the United States alluded to until the
last moment by the American government,
binds the United Slates not only to respect
the sovereignty and ownership of the Pan
ama iathmus by Colombia, but to help the
utUer maintain, them. - r ,- .
Declares Treaty Violated.
The proceedings of the United Btates
marine on the isthmu and of the Amer
ican minister here ar in open violation of
that treaty.
Tha Isthmus of Panama, the most coveted
part of the globe and the moat preclo:a
part of our fatherland, alwaya has been
respected by the nations as a sacred trunt
confided by Colombia to the honor and
power of the American people.
The traditions of that great nation, the
United States, aa a mighty deremier of
rights and bearer of the standard of civil
ization before the world, always have been
opposed to the ceFslon of territory and the
dismemberment of nations. Nonrecognltlon
of the confederate states during the civil
war confirms emphatically the application
of this doctrine decisively at critical mo
ments.' ,
Tha American people will not permit, I
am sure, a violation of public treaties, thus
denying their glorious traditions, in order
to obtain by force what Colombia is ready
to concede through pacific and equitable
ways. Colombia heartily wishes to
strengthen the ties of friendship and com
merce with the United States and give vig
orous Impulse to the common Interests and
to the greater power and glory of her oldest
slater republic.
I Blamea the Government.
But the proceedings of the Washington
government Interfere, unhappily, with good
feeling In. both countries, being a bar ter
in the way of an enterprise, advantageous
not only to them, but to humanity in
general.
The Colombian people, tranquil In the
strenirth of right and being sure of the
sentiments of justice and equity of the
American renie, npneal to the national
conscience of the Unlt'-d States, wh'ch con
science constitutes a force superior by far
to that of an armv and navy, in order to
save the honoi and integrity of our terri
tory. ,
The Stars and Stripes, alwaya dear to and
respected by the republics of both Amer
icas, never shall be outraged or blemished
In Colornbli. No matter what the pro
cedure of the government at Wanhlnston
mny be, the persons and the property of
cltlxens of the I'n'ted Ptates here remain
protected by the traditional honor of the

CALLS OUT TWENTY THOUSAND
Strike Inaugurated Today Is Supposed
' to Affect Structural Iroa
Worker Everywhere.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21. As a result of the
collapse tn negotiations between the Iron
league and the Union of Housesmltha an'd
Bridgemen. looking to a settlement of the
lqcal labor troubles, It Is stated by me labor J
leaders that a general stnko of the
Htri-ctural Iron workers la to be ordered
today all over the country, with the ex
pectation of calling out 20.000 within the
next few days and throwing out of em
ployment at least 100,000 men.
The announcement waa made by Frank
W. Johnston, ecretary of the International
Association of Structural Iron Workers and
a member of Parks' old union. On Novem
ber 30 a general meeting of the Interna
tional association will be held; by that time
It Is expected the strike will be In full
wing in all parts of th country and the
central body will take general control.
The strike is a continuation of the old
fight against Iho Ircn league. Plana wwo
made several weeks ago for such a strike,
but the leaders assert that It had not been
pushed becauae It had been hoped that a
settlement with the leegue might be
reached. All hope of this has been aban
doned, however. ' .
Fred Ri'wman, who has charge of th
structural-, Iron work on the Auditorium,
when shown the above telegram, aald;
"This will have no bearing upon us, for
the reason that the.jjfople for whom we
are doing thla work are not affiliated with
the Iron league, which la sn organization
similar to the big manufacturers' associa
tion of the east. The iron league flour'she
In big cities like New Tork, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Chicago and St. Louis. Even If
the strike were to include others, I don't
believe we would strike; as winter is upon
us and the laboring man who would strike
now Is a fool."
JUDGE CAUTERIZES GOVERNOR
Chittenden . of Frankfort Declares
Bliss of Mlchlgaa I Aldlnar
Defeat of Justice.
FRANKFORT, Mich., Nor. IL-Judue
Chittenden' charge to the Jury In the
Thomas perjury caae in the circuit court
has caused a sensation because of the
court' caustic criticism of Governor A. T.
Bliss. The governor recently pardoned
Deputy Game Warden Spafford of Cadlllao,
who waa convicted of manslaughter at
Frankfort. The case arose from the shoot
ing of a fisherman who, it waa claimed, bad
resisted arrest when Spafford caught him In
an alleged violation of the atate fish and
game laws. Bpafford's pardon was prac
tically simultaneous with his conviction.
His friends followed up their advantage
by charging that Thomas had perjured him
self to qualify as a Juror In the Spafford
case, and Governor Bliss In extending ciem
ency alleged that It was a packed Jury
that had convicted Spafford. In the Thomas
cuse Judge Chittenden ordered tTie Jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty.
"This whole proceeding, so far as the
pardoning of Spafford Is concerned and the
arrest and detention of thla respondent,
Thomas, Is a burlesque upon decency. Jus
tice and fair play," aald Judge Chittenden.
"I consider this case an act of persecution
rather than prosecution, placing the ad
ministration of Justice at a disadvantage
In this country and rendering powerless the
function of the court by the blind Indiffer
ence' of the state' chief executive."
Tnriv Phltte-nden hai disregarded the par
don of the governor on the around that the
document was not legally drawn and exe
cuted, and has ordered Spafford to appear
In his court today for sentence.

DUMBARTON, Scotland, Nov. 21. (New
York World Cablegram Special Telegram.)
The duchess of Argyl, better known as
the Princess Ioulse, and a charming daugh
ter of the late Queen Victoria, Is at the
present moment the most successful of
royal artists. Her latest commission is to
design a hsrolc bronze statue in memory
of ail the colonial troops who gave up their
lives In South Africa In the Boer war,
which la to have a place In Weatmlnster
Abbey. When the colonial troops commit
tee, a relief organisation, discovered after
the war that It had an unexpected balance,
It was decided to erect a memorial to th
colonials. Although tha chapter of the ab
bey had ruled that no memorials should be
placed In the historic place, it was per
suaded to provide space In the nave for
the colonial memorial. A committee, mem
lers of which were the earl of Carlisle and
William Thomycroft, the sculptor, con
cluded to ask the duchess of Argyl to mak
the statu and her royal hlghnsis cheer
fully consented to do so.

HARD FOR MEDIATORS TO REACH RESULT
Conference Between Attorneys oC
Compnny and Mtrlkera Has Not
Caused Settlement of
ttaeatlon.
CHICAGO, Nov. 21. -Tonight marked tha
close of the tenth day of the greatest street
railway strike Chicago haa ever known.
Except for the first day, upon whioh th
tleup of the X) miles of track of the Chi
cago City railway was practically com
plete, cars manned by nonunion crews and
under police protection hav been operated
on one trunk line, while on other the
strike has been broken until a limited
service between, I or a a. ra. and & p. nt.
Is being maintained on four of th main
north and couth lines traversing the south
side for distancea varying from five to
eight miles. No cars have been run on
any east and west lines, nor has kny at
tempt been nade lo run care In any dlrec-
tlon during the e.enlng or early morning.
One of the four lines in Lmlted cparatlon.
the Indiana avenue. Is In a measure tribu
tary to another, the Cottage Grove cable
line, and dependent upon the successful
operation of th latter. The other 'two, the
Wtntworth avenue and the Halsted street
lines, use the same track from the busi
ness portion of the city to Twenty-second
street, approximately one-third of their
length. '
Riots which attended the efforts of tha
company to run cars on the first day of
the strike have subsided, a result due to a
large extent to the detailing by Mayor
Harrison of nearly one-third of the clty'a
police force to the duty of preserving tha
peace along the various lines, so that but
little opposition M offered to the v.i.-itng
of cars. At no time during the at The has
violence offered resulted in great Aeetruc
tlon to property or injury to persona, the
former being largely cjnflned to the break
,lng of windows In the cara.
Car Baraa Are Barracks.
On the nine lines running east azd went,
on Twenty alxth, Thirty-Brat, Thirty-fifth.
Thirty-ninth, Forty-tnlrd, For.y-severah,
Sixty-first, Sixty-third and 8venty-aocond
streets, no attempt has been made to break
the tleup and but a comparatively smajl
number of passengers have been carried on
those lines on which, the cars are run
ning. Th oar barn and power houses of tha
company have been converted into bat
racKs, furnished with Bleeping and com
missary accommodations for the men In th
service of the company.
Notwithstanding the efforts of pickets
-about each barn and power house to pre
vent the delivery of coal and provisions no
shortage o.' either la apparent. Whll nego
tiation for a peaceful settlement of th
controversy between the company and Its
striking employes, have been progressing
fur several days, preparations for a long
siege and the supplanting ot the strikers
by nonunion men have t.e.-n pushed for
ward. Many men have been brought Into
the city from other points and are .-soused
In the company's building until the oflclals
declare they are able to man all car that
can be furnished police protection. The
strikers are receiving the financial or
moral support of nearly all branches of or
ganised labor In Chicago and vlolnlty.
Settlement May Come Boon.
Prospects for a settlement of the street
car strike seemed brighter today than at
any other time since the walkout. Leaders
on oth side Inclined to this view, bas
ing their hopes largely on tha "get to
gether" spirit manifested by those la au
thority. When th work of mediation was resumed
today, however, there were still too many
qukiitlnns unsettled to warrant a confident
p.-edlctlon of an early settlement At
least one proposition of the strikers ad
vanced by Mi. Darrow at yesterday's con
ference with Attorney Bllsa of th com
pany had not been acted upon by th
dlrec'. or of the railway company, and th
r.vecutlve board of the trainmen had not
takq official action on two or throe propo
altlonb made by Mr. Bliss.
Mayor Harrtaon and his mediation com
mittee of councllmen essoinbled early at
the city ball to receive reports of the
progress of negotiations. Announcement of
the fact that the company had refused the
aervlcea of a well-known eaatern strike
breaker gave them much encouragement.
The City Railway company was oper
ating today, as yesterday, cars on the Cot
tage Grove, Weptworth and Indiana ave
nues and Halstead street lines. Th police
declared It preferable to run an Increased
number of cars on th lines already In
operation and did not undertake to protect
service on additional streets.
To avoid attack by plcketa of others
closed carriage were employed to convey
supplies to the power houses and barns
where the nonunion men ar quartered.
The plcketa were unusually quiet about
tha offices and building! of th company
and the ruse worked successfully.
Another Conference Desired.
At the conclusion of a meeting of th di
rector of the City Railway company and
Attorney BlU. at which th results of th
latter' conference with Mr. Darrow yes
terday were considered. Colonel Bliss an
nounced that he would have nothing to say
until after he bad again conferred with Mr.
Darrow. -
A riot In which several thousand men,
women and children took part occurred on
Archer avenue today. The mob, which
gathered to Intercept a number of wagons
under escort conveying food to, the car
barns, charged the police and constables,
shouting and throwing atone. A constable
waa struck on the head and badly cut. Thi
police drew their revolvere and made a
stand about the wagona. but refrained
from shooting. The rioters were Anally
driven bark and consoled themselves by
burning a wagon previously wrecked In the
vicinity of the barns.
Sensatloual rumors that ao attempt had
been made to blow up care on the Want
worth avenue line by means of dynamite
rapa proved groundless. Three railroad
algnal torpedoes fastened to th rails war
at first believed to contain dynamita
