PARIS. May 7. New Tork World Cable

the season for American visitors has
loomed business among the French auto
mobile makers. Some of .the latest pur
chasers of big cars have been M. T. Plant,
Mr. Norste and Clinch Smith of New Tork
and . the duchess of Manchester. Past
driving, however, has . Just received an
other blow, owing to shocking accidents
at a most Inopportune time. After the
disastrous Paris-Madrid race last year that
resulted In so many deaths, road races were
forbidden.
Since then leading member of the auto
mobile clubs have been seeking permis
sion from Premier Combes to permit the
races again, under certain restrictions. The
order had Just been granted, When, six
persons In a swiftly running motor car were
struck by a train In the suburb and all
were . killed. The following day there
were six other serious accidents In Paris
and the suburbs, resulting In two deaths
and half a dosen persona injured. In
view of these accidents It la oonsldered
likely that the premier will revoke per
mission for road raoes and . there will
be none of this dangerous but exciting
sport this year In Franca.
One roan who disregards all speed rules
la King Leopold of the Belgians. Be
recently bought a huge ninety horse power
motor car, so that he could attend the
Paris races. He makes the run from

QUEEN ISABELLA NOT ALL BAD
Helps Poor Painter aad Takes Oaly
Slight Recompense from
His Heirs.
(Copyright, IKH, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS. May 7. (New Tork World Cable
gram Special TeleRram.) Many of the ef
fects of the late Queen Isabella of Spain,
who died recently n Paris, will be ottered
for sale. Among them Is a painting that
has a romantic history, revealing some of
the good traits of this most reckless queen.
Before her exile, when as dowager queen
ehe was .causing all manner of political
and social troubles In royal circles, she
received a visit from the painter, Antonio
Olsbert, who had been ruined financially
by some political upheaval In Spain.
Isabella lent him flW.OOO, taking no se
curity. Olsbert afterwards achieved fame
as a painter of historical subjects, and
some portraits. Among the latter Is a por
trait of the late William Astor of New
Tork. which Is well known. Olsbert never
acquired wealth enough to repay his debt
to the queen, but after his death some
years ago, his children found among his
papers a memorandum of the loan and
promptly offered her several of his best
works.
The queen selected only one and re
turned the remainder, saying that the debt
was cancelled. This painting Is a striking
one, representing the Emperor Francis I
meeting his betrothed. It Is now valued
at 110,000.
The opening of the annual exhibition of
the Society of French Artists, usually
called the old salon, has been the talk of
the Week. It Is customary for the presi
dent of tho republic to bo the first visitor
on varnishing day, esoorted by the leading
artists of Franco. But, owing to his ab
sence visiting the king of Italy, President
Lcubet was not present on the first day.
He made amends, however, by looking at
the pictures yesterday, cleverly praising the
right ones and saying that It was one of
the best exhibits he had ever seen.
Much different is the verdict of the Lon
don critics, who say that while the salon
displays much admirable talent, .there are
many pictures on the wall that would
never be aocepted by the Royal Academy
In London.
Tho opening of ths autumn salon Is fixed
for October 15.
PRISON OUTRAGES IN RUSSIA

Persecutions of Their

(Copyright 1P04, by Press Publishing Co.)
MOSCOW, May 7.New Tork World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Information
received from Korno gives details of the
doings which have taken place recently
In the prisons, where the conflict between
the authorities and the political prisoners
Is becoming dally more acute. Many of
the women prisoners have been mad the
speolal target of ths prosecutions of Inspec
tors, and one of them, a socialist named
Vera Speransky, having retaliated by hurl
ing a gloss at her persecutor, waa confined
In an underground dungeon where, after
flvo days at a low temperature, she was
found unconscious and had to be trans
ferred to a hospital, where aha now lies
in- .eertotia condition.. - ,.,,..
' Ths other political prisoners decided to
protest by refusing to take food, and ons
of them was found dead on the third day.
On learning this, the criminal prisoners
also rebelled and only the presence of
the governor and many soldiers prevented
a . serious uprising. i
Nineteen prisoners that were being taken
to Siberia were killed by their guards
at Trkoutsk ander the pretext of rebel
lion. Survivors, however, say that the
soldiers had been frenzied with drink and
had literally slaughtered their prisoners.
The authorities are trying to maks little
of the affair, asserting that all of the
killed were Jews.

(Copyrlght. 1904, by Press Publishing Co.)
GRENOBLE. May T. (New Tork World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Tho first
ohamber of the civil tribunal of this dis
trict has at lost rendered Its decision In
the suit , of the state against the
Carthusian monks regarding the owner
ship of the seoret for making chartreuse
and of the trade mark - of the cordial.
Tho liquidator of the property of the
monks,' which was seised by the govern
ment, ol aimed that not only the real estate,
but also tho trade mark of the famous
liquor was ths property of the congrega
tion and therefore had now become the
property of the state. The court decided
that both the plant and the trade mark
had always belonged to fhe order and as
such It had now become the property of
the government, as tho congregation had
no longer any legal Standing.
But Father Rey has the secret, and. In
spite of the court order, be will not give
It up. The Carthusians have started a
new establishment In Spain and are making
tho famous liquor there.

ROME, May ".(New York World Cable

next month of Mgr. Fulconlo, tho apos
tollo delegate to the United States, Is
being looked forward to with Interest.
It la unusual for a papal representative
abroad to leave his post of duty, and the
fact that- he has received permission to
come to Rome suggests that his visit will
have soma importance for the church iu
America.
The archbishop of Philadelphia, who has
often been mentioned of late as the Amor

come with him. Mgr. Faloonlo's opinion
will havs much weight at the Vatican, and
If he Is, as reported, In favor of the Phila

bo appointed, perhaps at the next consis

In Italy, with the prlnoe consort, will soon
oeme to Rome far a few days. An audi

quested and granted and la to take plaoe
about the middle of the month. She will
be received at the Vatican with all the
honor reserved to reigning sovereigns,
notwithstanding the fact that while tn
Rom she will pay visits to King Viator
Bmmanuel and the royal family. As ehe
la neither a Catholic, nor the ruler of
a Catholic nation, these visits Will hot
constitute an obstacle to her reoeptlon by
the pops, provided she drives to tho Vati

pointed her esoort, Prlnoe Henry, a di

and a vice admiral of the Dutch navy.
Foreigners who come to Rome and obtain
an audience with the pope will hereafter
be instruoted beforehand as to the cere
monial to be observed In the pope's pres
ence. It ha been observed that many vis

hand to be kissed. Instead of performing
this act of reverence, shake hands, just as
Oenaral Grant ia sold to have dona when
feoelved by Plus IX In such oasea the
Visitors are not Catholics, and It Is In order
to prevent this breach of etiquette at the
papal audiences that instruction will be
given.
A strong movement has been started In
France for the introduction of tho cause
of aanonlsatlon of ths late Plus IX this
year, which Is the fiftieth anniversary of
the realisation of the Immaculate concep
tion of the virgin, proclaimed by him In
114,
Many petitions, oontalntng thousands of
names, have been received at the Vatican
asking the pope to take action In this
matter. It Is considered, however, unlikely
that Plus X will take action, the custom
of the church being to let at least a oen
tury pass before prooeedlng with oanontsa
tlon of new saints, unless they be martyrs
to ths faith.
Isabella Leaves Millions,

(Copyright by New York Herald Co., lWH.)
WASHINGTON, May 7. (New York
Herald Service Special to The Bee.) The
method of publishing the-census office sta
tlatlce of cotton ginning' is to be chunged
next season. Heretofore about twenty
days have elapsed between the date up to
which the statistics have been brought and
the date of their publication.
By dividing some of the counties In which
the lurgcxt number of ginneries arc located
Into two canvassing districts and replacing
some of the canvassers who invariably send
In late returns by men who are expected
to do better the officials hope to cut sev
eral days off of the average time between
the date covered by the statistics and the
final publication of the returns for the
entire, country.
The ' method of publishing the returns
will be aubjeet to radical change. As soon
as returns from field agents begin to be
received after each canvass dally bulletins
Wilt be -iUKi. giving .thai figures received
Up to that date. - '''
This system of publication will. It la
believed, enable persons Interested In Nine
statistics to form a mttsonably accurate
estimate of the showing that will be made
fur the entire country some days before,
the publication of tho final bulletin.
One of the most Important advantages of
this system of publication will be that it
will absolutely prevent unyone claiming to
have advance Information as to what the
census bulletin will show.
Heretofore It has been Impossible for
anyone to have advance information as to
the country as a whole or as to any single
state. The most that a dishonest clerk
was able to give out were the returns for
dotaohed counties. Every effort has been
mado to guard against leaks of this char,
actor. But when returns for a great many
oountlea have been held in the office for
severer days awaiting belated reports from
others It has, of course, been neossary to
rely somewhat upon the honesty of the
clerks. Under the new system it will be
absolutely impossible for anyone to receive
advance Information even for a single
county, aa all returns will be published as
fast as thsy are reoelvod.

" TOKIO. May 7. Vice Admiral Togo's of
ficial recital of the latest engagement off
Port Arthur, which waa recolved here to
day, shows that the Japanese have blocked
the entrance to the harbor.
On Tuesday morning, after the block
adlng flotilla had been scattered by o gale
and the commandor of the flotilla had sig
nalled In vain that the attempt be aban
doned pending the moderation of the storm,
tho crews of the separate ships, in no wise
daunted by the weather whloh separated
them from their companions, proceeded to
the work on their own desperate Initiative.
They foroed their way in tho face of the
Russian fire, which was more deadly than
ever before as a result of the Improved
Russian defenses, over the field of mlnoa.
Many of these exploded, yet five out of
the Japanese blockading ships were
Jammed Into tho Inner channel and now
prevent ogress from the harbor to all craft
excepting small boats.
This attack exceeded all its predeKwenors
and the courage displayed by tho volun
teer crews la equal to that shown In any
event In tho war history of the world. s
Although Vice Admiral Togo again
avoided damage to a single ono of his
vessels, tho attack proved to be expensive
In lives.

The blockading vessels and their escort
left tho main squadron for Port Arthurian
Monday evening. They encountered a
southeasterly gale, and by 11 o'olock at
night the aeaa were mountainous, and It
waa found Impossible to keep the steamers
together. Commander Ilayashl, who was
In command of the expedition, observed
the Impossibility of keeping the flotilla In
tact, and signaled It to abandon the at
tack. These signals were repeated until t
o'clock tn the morning, but they failed to
reach the vessels of the expedition, which
were swept apart by the tempestuous seas,
and proceeded separately to the mouth of
the harbor. Upon arriving there tho Mi
kawa Mam, one of the merchantmen, saw
that the enemy waa firing upon the four

board the Mlkawa Marti thought the other
steamers had reached the harbor mouth,
and they steamed boldly in. She closely

the Asago Maru. These six steamers ad
vanced to ths mouth of the harbor. The
Russian fire now became awfully effective,
while a number of sunken mines which
were struck by the steamers began to ex
plode. These explosions caused heavy cas

continued for some time through fear of
Japanese intervention. Regaining oonfl
denoo from the faot that no drastlo reforms
have followed the signing of tho protocol
during Marquia Ito's recent diplomatic
vfcslt to the emperor, the palace harpies
have recommenced their malpractices. The
Japanese authorities ara not likoly to Intor
fere at present, desiring to oomplotely con
ciliate all parties, while still suspicious of
the emperor's position, or possibly they
are allowing things to run from bad to
worse until it is Imperative to intervene
with a heavy hand. Prefectships command
from S5.000 to rv.000, according to the repu
tation the districts have for squeezing pos
sibilities. Governorships are higher priced.
The emperor uses the funds So obtained
for secret Intrigues and to entice political
refugees living tn Japan to return to Corea,
where instant execution would clean up oM
grurlges, the settlement of which has been
the itnperor'a great ambition for many
years past.

The men on troops trains passing through
Mukden on their way to the front are tn
excellent spirits and express confidence In
Russia's eventual sQocess. They ask their
officers when they may expect to reach
Japan and already, want to know the
Japanese names for tobacco, tea and other
article. ;
Picturesque scenes are frequently wit
nessed at ' the wayside stations, where the
troops frequently remain over night. Tbe
soldiers are drawn up on tho platforms,
ths bugles sound, and than all uncover aa
the priest utters the evening prayer. Thon
the troops in eaoh car, led by a tenor
voice, break out Into folk songs. Tho
Chinese villagers, with whom tbe soldiers
quickly make friends, gather about, listen
ing to songs, which are moot plaintive airs.
The men, many of whom have been forty
days on trains on their way from the
Interior of Russia, are always cheerful
and join heartily In the songs.
The same good humor Is shown by the
troops after tiring marches through blind
ing storms and In the beat, which la dally
becoming more Intense.

BT. I'ETHKBBURG. May 7-Tbe caba
nevs with which the Russians accept tho
isolation of what always has been re
garded as the Russian Gibraltar bt tho
far east is remarkable. In military circle
It has been considered Inevitable from tho
umv. jxo attempt is moat 10 ueir.ue tne
energy shown by the enemy, but from tho
strategic point of view tho Investment of
the fortress Is rvtrarfied as relieving the
military situation on the mainland, which
had been much embanuased by tho neces
sity for maintaining tho seagirt stronghold
at the extremity of the Ltao Tung penin
sula. Besides, the ktmost coufidenoa Is ex
pressed In tho nbiiity of the fortress to
withstand a siege. The wbolo of the lower
end of the peninsula, from Kin Chou. thirty
mllea above Port Arthur, south. Is en
trenched, commanded by a chain of moet
termidable forttficatlonn, which auimouut
the crest of every hilL Millions of rubles
and years of work have been devoted to
rendering tbe place Impregnable br land or
eea. The railroad circling within tit's camp
will permit of tho easy transportation of
the defending troops.
According to the Russian vlow, it e Jap
anese have a Herculean task before them
In the event of their attempting the reduc
tion of the fcrtress. Successive lines of de
fenses must be carried, and the Japanese
operations cannot begin at the advanced
position. Kin Chou. until their siege guns
are landed.
Confidence iwStoeesel.
General Stoessel, who wl." have supremo
command of the defenses of Port Arthur,
la considered to be resourceful and to have
an Indomitable will. His orders of the day
have breathed a spirit of unyielding de
fiance. One of them declared that the last
man must die In the defense of Port Ar
thur. The latest cewtpaper dispatch from
the beleaguered fortress contained an ac-
oount of a stirring appeal made by General
Stoesael to his troops yeuterday, on the oc
casion of the review In honor of tho em
press' name day. In which he announced
that he would never surrender. In addition
to ho 10,000 sailors on board the ships at
Port Arthur, and tho regular fortress ar
tillery, probably numbering 4000 men, tho
defending force oonslsts of a division of
riflemen and three batteries of field artil
lery, a total of about 12,000 man.
In anticipation of the severance of com
munication, oil the valuable public docu
ments had been removed to Mukden and
the work of supplying tho fortress with
provisions and ammunition had been pro
gressing for weeks. The arthoritles ap
parently aro a&tlsfled that pn-otlcally no
non-combatants remain there. The Inhab
itants of Port Balny were sent away some
time ago.
The newspapers aooept the news stolo
ally, adjuring tho people not to be dis
couraged, sinoo the cutting off of Port Ar
thur was a foregone conclusion Ctom tho
first. Tho Novoe Vremya, says:
Tbe fortress and its dofendcra must now
shirt for themselves until our army. In suf
ficient strength, can come down from tho
north and rescue tbetn. In the meantime,
the people must accustom themrelves to bo
without direct news from Port Arthur.
