LONDON, Feb. IS. (Now York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Joseph
Chamberlain looked to be a very sick man
when ha left I-ondon last Thursday for
Egypt.
Order" were given that no communica
tions of any kind but private and personal
be forwarded to him. H would never
think of leaving the rountry ot a time
when the government may go to pieces
any day except under positive compub Ion.
Ills physical condition ha given rise to
the gravest rumors In parliamentary cir
cles, which his appearance only too fully
bears out. Ills color Is livid, his face is
worn, his look has lost Its keenness and
his step Its elasticity. It Is officially ad
mitted that he Is suffering from brain
fatigue, but It Is explained that it Is too
soon to definitely diagnose his complaint.
Ever since his cab accident during coro
nation week he has suffered from head
ache. Since his return from his trip to
Uganda and Bouth Africa this trouble has
grown worse and has been accompanied
by Insomnia, followed by nervous exhaus
tion and Irritability. These symptoms, It
is feared, are the consequence of his hav
ing got a touch of the tropical sun while
either in Uganda or Bouth Africa, symp
toms which are likely to be followed by
most serious results In the case of a man
who hns received n Injury to his head.
Mr. Chamberlain's speech Inst week on
the war commission report was much be
low his standard and the tragic death of
his faithful henchman, Powell Williams,
completely prostrated him.
Imperialism Ills Sole Topic.
More than thtit, the story comes from the
colonial offices that after his return from
Bouth Africa Impcrlullsm became almost a
monomania with him. He talked of noth
ing else and became testy when compelled
to consider subjects Into which It could
not be Introduced.
The World correspondent heard only
yesterday that a young American who
recently took luncheon at Highbury with
the Chamberlains noticed that every time
politics wag referred to some member of
the family quickly changed the subject,
but despite this Mr. Chamberlain eventually
became quite excited and delivered a
harrangue t as If addressing a public
melting to the manifest discomfort of
those around.
Nothing approaching the paralysed help
lessness of the government has ever been
seen.. Each successive minister who speaks
In the Houre of Commons on the fiscal
question takes a view different from that of
Ms predecessor. So one moment protection
ists and next free traders Imagine their
cause Is uppermost.
In Prime Minister Balfour's absence the
government has drifted like a rudderless
ship and will go very near defe.it on Mr.
Morley's fiscal amendment next Monday.
In any case It can scarcely survive the
budget, when a considerable deficit will
have to bo provided for. The ministry will
be turned out In the end by the Irish vote,
owing to Irish Secretary Wyndham's
disappointing administration.
Society Feels the Effect.
Social Influence Is playing a conspicuous
part In the political crisis over the fiscal
(tariff) question. Mr. Chamberlain has not
only spilt the tory party, but also the
smart set" for a considerable section of
the latter has gone with the duke of
Devonshire. This state of affairs has had
a serious effect on fashionable entertain
ing, for hosteeses have to be very careful
about bringing violent partisans of either
side together.
The Churchill family, to mention only
one, has been broken up ever the question,
Winston Churchill seems to be heading
fast for the radical party with- some of hta
relatives, while the duke of Marlborugh
and the remainder Intend to stick by Bal
four whether ha ultimately adopts pro
tection or not. The situation altogether Is
full of Interest. Indeed. It absorbs at
tention In spite of the sensational opening
of the far eastern war.

ROM K, Keb. IS (New York World Ca
blegram Fpeelal Telegram. I The arrest of
a crank seeking an audience with the pope
has caused the greatest precautions to
lie adopted to Insure the safety of Plus X.
What renders the matter more difficult Is
the pope's habit' of promenading, unaccom

gain access by paying the price of ad

a bodyguard accompany the pope wherever
he goes. Sentinels have been placed In t
the passages with orders to prevent a

keep concealed as much as possible while
the pope Is passing. Armed guards have
been posted ail over the large gardens
and have been ordered to arrest any
stranger found In the papal domain with

The Italian government, which considers
Itself responsible before the world for the
pone's safety, keeps gendarmle and po
licemen patrollng the Btreets and walls
of the Vutiean gardens doy and night.
Whenever a ceremony takes place In St.

large number of detectives, dressed as
monks, priests and nuns, keep watch among
the assemblage.
The new nuncio at Vienna, Mgr. Oranlto
di Belmonte, has had his salary cut by
110,000 a year and the pope Intends to make
similar cuts in many other cases. Some
reduction will probably be made in the
salary of the delegate at Washington,
whose position, being unofficial, does not
require him to entertain on the scale of
tho nuncios of Paris, Vienna and Madrid.
At present his salary is only 17,000 a year,
while the nuncios of the first class receive
sums varying from 125,000 to $60,000.

American duchess, formerly May Ooelet
of New Tork cam down from Floors for
the wedding at Windsor on Wednesday of
Princess Alice of Albany and Prince Alex

In London. The duchess of Roxburghe was
one of the few. duchesses Invited and was
Included In the king's personal guests in
the royal banqueting ball, where imme
diate royal relatives sat down to luncheon,
The only other duchess not of royalty was
the duchess ot Devonshire. Neither the
queen nor the bride had on anything In dla
monda approaching the magnificence the
Jewels worn by the new and the youngest
duchess. Her tieck and - head literally
biased with light, and, although she was
very particular to dress according to her
height, the whole bodice of her gown was
concealed with glittering, gems.
The gift of the duke and the duchess of
Roxburghe to the bride took the form of
a splendid dark sapphire, set in a wreath
of leaves, formed of wine diamonds
mounted to serve as a pendant. To the
bridegroom the duke gave a diamond
scarf pin, as both were devoted friends as
bachelors.
Although the irlnce and princess of Wales
have not definitely settled the date of their
promised visit to the Roxburghes at Floors
castle, it Is certain that If the exigencies
of state prevent a visit In June they will
be the duchess' guests In September.

(Copyright, 1!04, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, Feb. 13. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) "The battle
between the elephant and the whale," as
he French press characterizes the Russian-
Japanese war, paraphrasing Bismarck's al-
jslon to what a contest between England
nd Germany would be, is exciting the
greatest Interest und comment here. The
rst success of the Japanese admirals Is
ttributed to their knowledge of the sinu
osities of the coasts and the formation of
the entrances to the harbors, which en-
bled them to escape alt accidents.
The expense of such a war is especially
dwelt upon. The cost of iximbardlng
Port Arthur, lasting two hours, Is esti
mated at $650,000, each shell of heavy cali
ber costing, according to French artillery
experts, $2ii0. To this must be added the
cost of coal consumed.
The press representing the nationalist
party Is divided as to what France's atti
tude should be at the present moment.
Deroulede and the more moderate nation
alist newspapers favor a policy of strictest
nonintervention, while the more violent be
lieves In strict adherence to the alliance.
The Temps asserts that Japan's first pyro
technic success will have no effect unless
It Is supplemented by a solid victory on
land, where there will be a crucial test.
The sterling qualities of the Japanese In
fantry are admitted, but the cavalry Is
scoffed at. It Is related that the Japanese
religion Involves certain reverence for the
horse, and that a Japanese cavalryman
never mounts without apologising to his
teed.
The French press, which aaw no outrage
In Spain's blowing up the Maine, Is making
great howl about Japan's torpedoing
Russian war vessels before a formal
declaration of war. Cassagnlac says In
Aurorlte: "This seml-barbarlc nation has
proved Itself worthy of Its traitorous allies,
the English, who destroyed the Danish fleet
by a similarly cowardly stroke. Imbued
with ideas of the English school, it Is not
strange that In conjunction with Its own
barbaric proclivities Japan has acted In this
manner."
Other writers regard the contest as a life
und "death struggle. It 1 believed that If
Russia fails to get Corea It would be ruled
by Japan In the Tellow sea as effectively
as It Is by Germany In the Baltic. Japan
in possession of Corea would sway the sea

PLUNKETT'S VIEW OF IRELAND
Pays Special Reference to Influence
of the Irish In the United
States.
(Copyright. 1904, by Preas Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Feb. 13. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) "Ireland In
the New Century" Is the title of an Impor
tant book written by Sir Horace Plunkett
president of the Irish Board of Agriculture.
The author says those who have known
Ireland for the last twelve years cannot
fall to notice the advent of a wholly new
spirit, and the object of the book, which
will give a complete and comprehensive
review of the present political, social and
Industrial condition of that country, Is to
bring into a clearer light the essential
movements In Ireland, and to do something
toward promoting greater deflnlteness of
aim and method.
Referring to America's powerful Influonoe
upon the settlement of th Irish question.
Mr. Plunkett says:
"A quarttr of a century of not unsym
pathetic observation of the Irish In the
United States has convinced me that tho
position they occupy there Is not one which
either they or the American people can
look on with entire satisfaction." He be
lieves their presence msy become an em
barraasment, If not a danger, to America.
"Every echo In the United States ot po
litical or social disturbance rouses the lm
migrant and he becomes an Irishman once
more, not a citizen of the country of his
adoption."
APPEAL FROM DEATH DUES
Williams Heirs Carry Million-Dollar
Case- So the Hons ef
Lo rd .
(Copyright, 1904. by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Fee, lS.-(New York World Cs
blegram Special Telegram.) The appeal
of the heirs of the late William Lewis
Williams, the recent rich American mil
llonatre, to the House of Lords against
"death duties" levied upon Mr. Williams'
estate, has Just been argued before the
House of Lords. The lower courts de.
elded that Mr. Williams was domiciled In
England, and that his property was taxa
ble like any Englishman's upon his demise,
although his sons testified that h regarded
Baltimore as his home and considered hi
residence here as temporary. As Mr. Wll
Hams' estate was appraised at 112,(10,000, the
Inheritance tax amounted to a little more
than ll.or-'juoo. This was paid to the reve
nue authorities pending the appeal.
Arguments on appeal before the lords
occupied ten days. Judging by com
ments and observations of the lord chan
cellor and othar Judges, it Is believed that
they Intend to reverse the lower courts.
This would restore tl.OOO.Ouu to the Williams
heirs.
Attorney General Sir Richard Flnlay, In
arguing the crown raa. remarked that
the reason Mr. Williams never owned a
house In England was because he hated
society and believed that having' no house
was th only means of keeping It at bay.
LEMP TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
t. l.onla Hrrer Ends l.lte by Shoot
ing Himself with Ite-
ST. LOUIS. Feb. IS.-Wllllatn J. Lemp.
pr.sld"nt of the Lemp Brewing company,
committed suicide today at his residence.
SL'2 South Thirteenth street, by shooting
himself in the right temple with a re
volver. He died an hour after firing the
fatal shot. Growing depression over the
death of his favorite son, Kred Lemp,
three years ago, and the loss of Frederick
Pabst cf Milwaukee, a life long friend, Is
believed to have been the cause for his
rash act
Mr. liemp, who was fiS years old and a
native of Germany, hns lived In Rt. Louis
for forty-eight years. He stood high In
business and social circles and was re
puted to be a millionaire.
Mr. Lemp, It seems, was alone In his
room when the shot was llred. Complaining
of not feeling well, he had not arisen as
early as the other members of the family.
Breakfast had been served and the sons
had gone to their duties at the office and
Mrs. lnip had gone uptown. The servants
were busying themselves about their dally
tasks. A shot was heard from the direction
of Mr. lamp's room. The servants, who
hurried to the upnrtment, found Mr. Lemp
lying c.n the floor, a revolver clutched in
his right hand and a builet wound in his
temple.
One of the servants ran to the brewery
office nearby and summoned the two sons,
Edward and William. As soon as they
reached the house they dispatched servants
n different directions for physicians. Sev
eral physicians, who were soon at the
house, found that life was not extinct, but
saw that there was no hope of saving his
life and so Informed the sons. He was
still breathing when Mrs. Lemp returned
home, and died a few minutes later without
laving recognised anyone.
Mr. Lemp lost interest in life three years
ago when his son Frederick died. He was
the brewer's favorite son, the superintend
ent of the brewery and the chief reliance
of his father. He died suddenly of heart
failure and the blow to the father was so
severe that he never recovered from It. At
first he seemed to resist the Impulse to
withdraw from active life, but after a time
he yielded to it and was seldom en at his
office.
Without having any disease wMch could
be diagnosed, he became feeble and grad
ually became despondent. When Fred
Pabst, the Milwaukee brewer, died on Jan
uary 1, Mr. Lemp was affected almost as
much as he had been by the death of Ms
n.
He attended the funeral and on his return
was more despondent than ever. After the
death of Mr. Lemp, none bat relatives and
very close friend of the family were ad
mlttcd to the residence. Besides the two
sons, and his widow, one daughter, who
married a son of Captain Pabst survive.

he had consented with Miss Ohlsen to have
the ceremony performed. Miss Chase, or
Mrs. Sanborn sold that she had the cer

pervaded the sick chamber guve way to

during the day the attending physicians,
otlng the munner in which the patient re
por.ded to treatment, gave It as their be
lief that he had a "fighting chance. The
tension under which' the Immediate mem
bers of the family hove been since 3 o'clock
esterdny afternoon, when the sinking spell
came on was noticeably relieved tonight.
and the senator's brother, his son Dan and
others of the household spent some time In
the lobby of the hotel. Indeed, his condi
tion waa such this afternoon that Mrs.
Hanna was able to take a short drive.
When morning - broke the senator had
held his own during the night, although it
had been necessary to keep down the tem
perature, which at one time reached 106, In
frequent sponge baths. The senator has
been conwioiis most of the time, but has
been too weak to rouse himself except at
very Infrequent Intervals, nnd then he
could but barely make himself understood.
The most gratifying feature of the case Is
the senator's continued ability to tak? r.nd
retain nourishment. This consists of sinrJl
quantities of milk nnd whisky. Through
out the day the utmost watchfulness waa
observed to prevent. If possible, a reur

and oxygen were renorted to when In tho
opinion of the physicians there was the
slightest Indication of a setback.
An Important point was settled tonight
when the announcement was made that
the senator's Illness Is unaccompanied by
any complications. The distinguished pa
tient full realizes the gravity of his con
dition. At one time when he was able to
freely converse with his phyrlcians the
senator said he would lend all possible
aid to their efforts In his behalf.
All day long a constant stream of callers
made their way to the Arlington to In
quire regarding the senator's condition.
President Roosevelt was one of these and

WILL' NOT CALL FOR AID
Baltimore' will Help Itself and Lay

BALTIMORE, Feb. 11 Mayor Robert
McLane voiced the pervading sentiment In
Baltimore today when he said t the Asso
ciated Press:
We are going to recover from thia calam
ity and will emerge a greater and better
city than before. I am very much encour
sged with the spirit and grit shown by our
people In their determination to go ahead
and assist in the rehabilitation of the city.
I realise with the average citizen that
now la our opportunity to Improve the busi
ness portion of the city; it Is a general
desire for the ImDrovement of Baltimore.
The making of certain blocks into public
reservations will be considered and a defi
nite conclusion reached with respect to the
same.
There is some disappointment, especially
among business men who have valuable
property burled under the ruins, over the
determination , not to send federal troops
here to police the fir district, but Governor
Edwin Warfleld Is firm In his insletenoe
that the soldiers are not needed.
Saturday Is usually recognised as pay day.
Today some Arms paid off their clerks and
workmen and others did not. Strange a
it may seem, the volume ot business done
In Baltimore this week has been tre
mendous and probably exceeded that of any
month in Its previous history.
Miss Alice Roosevelt, accompanied by
Messrs. Wadswortb and Long, came to
Baltimore late this afternoon to take
view of the ruins. The party was allowed
to drive through the burnt district.
At Its meeting today It was the view of
the members of the relief committee that
Baltimore and Maryland Is amply able to
provide for all exigencies and that there
will be no appeal for outside aid.

GERMANY BETWEEN TWO FIRES
Believes with This Country In
Open Door, but 1'refera Rus
sian Predominance.
the
BERLIN, Feb. 1.1. The position of the
German government t expecting the Itusso-Japa-.f-sc
war is veil dt-Hned. It Is exact
neutrality In ut, but In sentlmt nt it la
sympathetic toward Russian predominance
In Chin:-, rather than Japanese, predom
inance there. The common talk In minis
terial quarters in that this Is not a simple
contest fur territory In Corea or Man
churia, but rather a combat of clvii;,Hiion
and of race id.als, and If one munt choose
between the white, and tho yell.iw, tier
many stands by the white.
The covernment here Is conscious thit
Russia has not acted wisely and that Japan
hns Burhclent reasons for making war, and
especially that after the Chlno-Jananec
war in 1?M Japan was advised to give up
"ort Arthur nnd that Russia took pos
session of this place. Germany recognizes
also that other powers have cause for
complaint In that Russia did not keep its
promise to evacuate Manchuria, and
among theee powers Is Germany, which
holds opinions Identical with those of the
United States concerning the "open door."
The Foreign office has this week tx-
pressed this view to the. State department
at Washington, but beyond thes consld
eratlons there are, according tu a very
high German official, greater considera
tions of statesmanship which prompt Ger
many to withhold Its sympathy from
Japan and to hope that Russia will not be
vanquished.
Japanese victory is believed by this of
ficial to mean that Japanese influence
would be supremo in China and that the
cry would go up "Asia for the Asiatics.
He believes also that territorially and
economically Great Britain, Germany and
the Vnlted States would In the event of
Japan's winning be expelled from the east.
In Germany there is foreseen a state of
affairs when Japan shall have trained sev
eral million Chinese aa soldiers and sailors
and Inspired them, as Gordon's "ever vic
torious" army was inspired, by successful
and thoughtful leadership. The "yellow
peril" Is a conviction in Germany, and
Germans readily accept the view of Rus
sia that to give Japan equal rights to
enter and settle Manchuria and to cross
the 3,000 miles of frontier separating China
from Ruaslu might turn western civilization
back upon the Ural mountains.
The Russian peasant cannot compete wlll
the Chinaman or the Japanese, and If th
United States, with 3,000 mile of ocean be.
tween It and China, has adopted a Chines
exclusion law, and If Great Britain Is dl
turned lest the Chinese get a footing- in
South Africa, how much more, as German
thinkers aver, should Russia and all Eu
rope fear this economic invasion.
THINKS AMERICA MAY FIGHT

CHICAGO. Feb. l.-"It Is extremely prob
able that the United States and each of
the great powers will do actual righting
before the war Is over. The United States
has taken a strong and courageous posi
tion." Ir. Toyokochi Iyenaga, formerly

diction today. Dr. Iyenaga lius Just com
pleted a aerie of lectures In Chicago under
the auaplces of th University of Chicago.
Dr. Iyenaga said: "All along I have been
saying that the United Btates and England
should Join with Japan in tettllng this far
eastern question in tiie interests of modern
progressive civilization. Tike United States
has done Just wjiat Japan has wanted
President Roosevelt and Becretary Hay, by
proposing to limit the question have taken
a very Btrong stand. The only way to
prevent a general war in which all the na
tions would be fighting will be to carry out
the proposal which has been made by the
United States.
"Who can tell now whether that will be
accepted by Russia or not? If It Is not.
the Interests of the United Status are so
great and the stand lias been so strong

WASHINGTON. Feb. IS. (New York
Icrold-Omaha Hee Special Telegram.)
Secretary Hay today gave out tho exact
ext of bis nolo to the powers about local
zing KiiHo-Japnnsu htstllltles and about)
he neutrality of China. It looks harmless
nouKh, nnd that Is Just why the ndmln-
slratlon is somewhat vexed, and saya It
ciinot uiulersliuid why Great Di it iln.
Flu nre mid Russia, especially the two last
named, should be so dilatory til) u ex
pressing their full acceptance.
Interest van uroused this ...i u i by
he dispatches from London ...i ( that
Great llrltuln really Intended ill,, i.s re
sponse should expitKS its tlnul ..t; lenient.
Th-a Statu department does not n.l fully
assured, however, for It learns I rum It
representatives abroad that England IS
making diligent Inquiry about how far th
other powers desire to go in the next step,
which will be an International agreement
defining the responsibility of the powers
for the preservation of Chinese neutrality
and mat-Hug out the limits within which it
s hoped the fighting will be confined. As
pointed out In the Herald this morning
England's military expedition under Colonel
Younfjhtisband. which Is now pressing into
the frigid fastness of Thibet, is a vital con-
nUleration and one of which Russia Intends
to hnvo something Important to suy whn.
t ngiees to the neutrality proposition.
He.e Is Just what Mr. Hay said to tho
powers:
After the preliminary exchange of vlewj
between this government anil the govern
ment of other powers interested In the
C hinese matter, the department on Fein u
ary 10 sent the following instructions to tha
American representative In St. Petersburg,
jomo ann: I'eking:
"You will exoress tn the minister for
foreign affairs the earnest desire of tn
government of the United Stales that In
the course of military operations which
have begun between Russia nnd Japan tho
neutrality of Chlnn, and In all proutleah'.a
woys ner numlnlHtratlve entity, snail us
respected by both parties and that tho
urea of hostilities shall be localized nnd
mitigated as much as possible, so that un
due excitement and disturbance of the
Chinese people may be preven.ed nnd th
least possible loHrf to the commerce and
Intercourse of he world will bo ocenn'oned.
JOITN HAY.
At tho same time this government In
formed all the txiwers signatory of tho
protocol nt Peking of Its action and re
quested ulmtlar action on their part.
China Issues Proclamation.
The Chinese minister. Sir Chen Tung .
Liang Cheng, went to the F.tate depart--ment
this morning and told Mr. Hay that
China had not only Issued a strong neu
trality proclamation, but had taken unusual
precautions to see that neutrality was ob
served throughout the Chinese empire. El"
Chen Tung said to the Hera! 1 correspond
ent In regard to China's n- uh lilty:
The proelarruUlon waa issued two days
ago and was promptly sent to all the vice
roys and governors of provinces with spe
cific orders that they carry out to the full
est extent of their powers Its provisions
and then firmly enforce neutrality laws.
They ore directed In the strongest terms to
protect the Interests of all foreigners, to
see that missionaries are not molested In
the pursuit of their business and to sup
press all disturbances with a firm hand.
This means that offlcla's who do not act
vigorously In this direction will meet with
prompt punishment." ,
Inasmuch as Mr. Hay was told that or
ders were sent to all the viceroys and
governors It Is plain that they were sent
to the Chinese officials In Manchuria, But
on account of the peculiar conditions and
long standing presence of Russian soldiery
there and th well known tacit acquies
cence of the powers to these conditions
China cannot enforce Manrhurian neutral
ity, and the Chinese government is con
sidered as doing all wlthtn Its power to
prevent the Chinese from actively assist
ing either of the belligerents.
The great point, at least as far as Japan
and England are concerned, Is whether
Secretary Hay Includes Manchuria In his
effort to bring about the neutrality ot
China and the preservation of the "ad
ministrative entity" of China. It can bo
stated pobltively that Mr. Hay does not
hope that Manchuria will be kept clear
of strife. It Is Interesting, however, to
observe that the same phrase, "Administra
tive entity," was used In Tils note of July
3, 1900, and that it unquestionably then
did Include Munchurla.
The Japanese minister, Mr. Kogoro Taka
hlra, also culled at the State department
today for the purpose of finding out what
progress Mr. Hay's proposition was mak
ing and he reiterated the willingness of
Japan to adhere to It If Russia would.
Deslr Specific Meaning.
No answers to the not In addition
to those received up to yesterday hava
been received at the State, department.
There Is a liint that Austria will seek to
avoid any participation In the proposed
representation to the belligerents on the
ground that It has small concern In the
matter, but no formal answer baa been had
from It.
England wants a more definite statement
of the purpose and scope of the noto.
Secretary Hay Is disinclined to ylld to
this wish. He thinks that It would le
impossible to get the powers together If
an attempt Is made to very exactly define
the purpose of concurrent action. So, aa
to Manchuria, the question is left open
purposely as to whether or not Chinese
administration Is or la not In force. In that
war-swept territory. That is why the
term "administrative entity" waa used In
Secretary lluy's note. It Is a question of
fact to be determined later on whether or
not China does puescss "administrative
entity" in Mam-hurl i. This suspicion, en
gendered by the Issue of tho note, is in
explicable to the authorities lure. It Is
declared that the government has been
animated by the most simple and direct
purposes gnd has tried to express that fact
In its note.
There is grave danger of the flight from
Peking of the Chinese court If it Is not
speedily convinced that there is no danger
of an Invasion of China by one or the other
of the belligereuts. Th Slat department
