HEAD OF ORANGE LODGE ENDORSES IDEA , Lord Rnssmore Creates Considerable Vaeaslarss In Unionist Circles by Statin His AJrowr e( Dunraveu's Mcitnr. LONDON, Oct. 22.-(Spec1aI Cablegram to Tha Bee.) Lord Dunraven has issued a very spirited and vigorous reply to tha cltlcisma which have been passed by Mr. Wyndham. the chief secretary for Ire land, and others, upon the proposals of the Irish Reform association. Ha emphatically denies that home rula forms any part of their program. , "The aim of tha association." he says, "is a simple one namely, an appeal to all moderate men for assistance In finding a remedy for certain specific evils which re tard the progress of Ireland, to apply con ciliatory methods to the elucidation of vexed questions, and by combined effort to develop the Industries and resources of the country." They asked for two bodies, having two distinct functions. They would have no more legislative function' than a board of axrlcultu.e or a board of technical In struction, and Parliament Itself would de cide what questions ahould be referred to them, and theyculd not trench In the slightest upon the supremacy of Parlia ment. "Parliamentary union and the supremacy of Parliament." he declared, "are condi tions precedent to every suggestion we have made. It la not home rule in dis guise." There is amonr the unionists a strong feeling of disgust. Lord Dunraven declares, with the present system of government In Ireland. "It ha always existed, but haa been subordinated to the urgency of self preservation. Relieved of that urgency, It will surely find expression, probably vehe ment expression, unless Jt be satisfied by wise and moderate reform. "Hardships an! Irregularities exist; It Is the object of the Reform association to Justify the union by their removal.' "A little study will. convince unprejudiced minds that Irishmen have good cause for dissatisfaction with the system of govern ment under which they live." Lord Duntaven adds that the association does not appeal to extremists on either side. but only to moderate unionists, who are asked to support a policy of conciliation and to Justify the continuance of Parlia mentary union by the removal of-grlev- a nee.

M ill Take as Wife a Preach Girl at Al geria. PARIS, Oct a. (Special Cablegram to . The Bee.) With the consent of the minis ter of the colonies, the dethroned emperor of Annam, Ham-Nghl, who has been a prisoner of the French for sixteen years, left Psrls.a few days ago for Marseilles, enroute for Algeria, where he will be mar ried to his betrothed, Mile. Laloe, a charming young wpinan of about 30, who accompanied him. The ex-emperur. who was for years de tained In Algeria, made the acquaintance of the young woman some time ago and fell deeply In love with her. His atten tion was returned, but her father, who Is president of the Algerian court of appeal, objected to the match on the ground of her lover's color and religion. But the girl s . tears finally overcame the opposition of her father and the marrUse was arranged. Hm-N'ghl. who Is S3 years of age, owed his downfall to a revolt which he headed against the French In U86, when General da Courcy's garrison was besieged In the palace at Hue and desperate fighting oc curred. Finally, a relief force under Colonel Per not scattered the rebels and Ham-Nghl fled to tha mountains of Kwang-sl, where he carried on a guerrilla war against the French till 1W. when he was captured. In the following year he waa Interned In Algeria with a penstoa of C1.2U0 a year, which on the occasion of his marriage will be Increased to 1,100.

The town of Brad fort, In the Orange River colony, a .ew daya ago achieved sudden fame as ihe te sult of the manltesto Issued by sm," local Boers summoning a national ccngre. of Boers of the two colonics to meet at an early date at Brandfort. Tne document urges the unsatisfactory n.s hod by which compensation Is paid, pleuda tne gtne.al poverty existing In the country and bla.ei that attempts have bean made to prevail on the government to acknowledge their grievances, but lu vain. The object of the con res Is therefore to place the Boer grievances before his majesty's govern ment. The lieutenant 'governor has Informed this Brand. ort committee that he Is un aware that they have ever tried to lay their grievances before the government. As other misstatements are made in the manifesto, end aa the committee ignore his recent utterances on the subject of com pensation, he will be glad If, before taking further steps, Its members will come to see him personally. Kree railway passes will bo provided and It U understood that a meeting will take place this week, but It Is unlikely that anything more will be heard of the national congress. It Is unfortunate that so much dlisxtis faction exists regarding the ques.lon of compensation, but as long as the Boe:s regard payment as an absolute ligtit and Ignore the fact that claims aggregating 80,000,000 cannot be paid In full out of the sum of 3,000.000. no eatlslactory settle ment of the alleged grievances U poa Ible.

BABY FARMER JS ON TRIAL Notorious German Woman la Accused of Wholesale Murder at Hamburg. HAMBURG, Oct. 22. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) The trial of the notorious baby farmer, Frau Wlese, known as the "Angel Maker," began at Hamburg this week. Wlese is charged with the most terrible offenses and sensational disclosures are ex pected, as several high-born women who employed her .are subpoenaed to give evi dence The police charge Frau Wlese with mur dering her husband and five babies en trusted to her care. She Is also charge with systematic cruelty to children, with participation In various Immoral dealings and with perjury. There are several lesser charges. ' Five years ago Wlese rented a large house In Hamburg at an enormous price and started business as a baby farmer on 1 a large scale. Moat of her customers were people of position who desired to concea) the birth of children. They paid heavy fees sometimes aa much as 200. The clients simply handed their babies over to Wlese, who undertook to look after them permanently. Instead of so doing, it Is alleged that she murdered them, some being poisoned, others burnt alive In a large oven and others thrown into the Elbe. Wlese secured clients from England, France and even America by attractive ad vertisements, and when her husband sought t4 check her criminal career she Is charged with having poisoned him, after having se cured a high Ufa Insurance. So cleverly did she proceed with her work that It took, the police two years to collect sufficient evidence to arrest her. After the arrest boncj of Infant victims were found hidden beneath tho floor of the kitchen. The mildest legal offense with which Wiese is accused Is selling her own daugh ter. One of her infant victims. It Is stated, was her own grandchild. FATAL AFRICAN LION HUNT Men Who Try from to ' Save Companion Beaat Kill Him. LONDON. Oct 22. (Special Cablegram to .The Bee.)

SYSTEM ATTACKED BY RADICAL PRESS Social Democrat Also Obieet to Method Panned by Prussian Police, RAILWAY TRAINS ARE ALL SEARCHED Sanitary Regulation is Wade Excuse for Detaining Some Intending Emigrants. GERMAN STEAMSHIP COMPANIES FAVORED Charsre Made that la Some Cases Travelers May Avoid Deten tion by Golasr by German Lines. BERLIN, Oct. 22. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Very bitter attacks have been made upon the Prussian government by the social democratic and by the radical press because, by virtue of a sanitary police regulation, that government only permits I Russian emigrants who pass through Prus sia to proceed to countrks outside Europe, ' and because It exercises pressure upon j these emigrants In order to make them ' take passages only by the German lines ' the Hamburg-American and the North j German Lloyd. There Is every reason to believe that these assertions are perfectly true. It may be assumed, however, that i the Prussian government Is chiefly in I fluenced by political considerations In adopting these measures. Inasmuch as there Is a desire to oblige Russia. At the same time the opportunity Is turned Into account In order to extend the business of the two German steamship companies, the Inter ests of which are constantly promoted In every direction by the Prussian state and by the German emperor. In quarters connected w"h the German steamship companies, It ount to be added, the opinion prevails that the difficulties with the Cunard line will ' ultimately be arranged In a manner satisfactory to both parties. Emigration by way of Germany has diminished during the present year. Up to the end of July 79.348 emigrants sailed from Hamburg, .as compared with 95.697 during the first seven months ot 1903; while the corresponding figures for Bremen were 73,211, as compared with 109.471. Jn frelghta there Is said to be great room for Improvement, although this busi ness is better than It waa last year. Watch for Escaping; Conscripts. With regard to the conduct of the Prus sian government toward the Russian emi grants It is learned that the way In which that government hopes to oblige Russia Is ' by sending baok across the Russian fron tier intending Russian emigrants whose passes . are not In order, or who . are at I tempting to evade by flight the obligations I pf military service with the Russian colors, j The socialists Vorwaerta has published harrowing descriptions of - the ' way In 'which, even' at the Lehrte terminus In Ber lin tne railway station for Hamburg the carriages are Benched by the state railway offlclahi for emigrant . passengers whose passes are not 1p order or who have tickets for their Atlantic passage by a non German line. Under the pretext of the sanitary police regulations such Intending emigrants are remorselessly consigned to the quarantine station unless they consent to book a passage by one of the German steamship lines. The Vorwaerta suggests that since sanitary considerations obvi ously play no further part In cases where Intending emigrants comply with the de mand that they should purchase a German steamship ticket, the British government would be amply Justified- in enforcing the strictest sanitary measures against the 0hlps of the German lines, and also In pro hibiting all British emigrant from em barking upon them. This suggestion has aroused the patriotic Ire of the National Zeltung, which furiously denounces tha Vorwaerta for playing Into the hands of the foreigners. NEW FAITHSFOR JAPANESE Christians and Mahometi&is Plan to Make Many Converts At Island. Kingdom. V. LONDON, Oct. 22.-(Speclal Cablegram to The Bee.)-Now that Japan Is taking her place among the great nations of the world It feels that It should have a state religion of Its own. Apparently, however. It does not desire to adopt the wholesale creeds of the for eigners, and hence there Is an idea that some attempt will be made to evolve a set of recognised beliefs and observances from the commingled doctrines of Christianity and Orientalism. In the course of a conversation this week Rev. II. E. Fox. secretary of the Church Missionary society, said that there were very many Christiana in Japan, and that the work of spreading the gospel there was progressing steadily. 'Especially," he added, "has this been noticeable during the war. Miss A. C Bosanquet, In a letter from Hiroslma,' which appears In the Church Mlsisonary Intelligencer, says: 'It la touching to see how the Christians prise their New Testa ments, almost always carrying them In breast pocket or knapsack, and using them well.' "The bishop of Toklo." Mr. Fox con tinued, "thinks that the aenae of having won the right to', claim equality with the western powers may Induce the native Christians of Japan to wlFh to rule their own church" without the assistance of for eigners." Mr. W. H. Qullllam of Liverpool, the shelkh-ul-Islam of the British isles, Is about to write a primer of first principles in the Mahometan faith, which tho Japanese at Shanghai will translate for circulation In Japan. He Is convinced that the Islamic faith will make very great progress In Japan. PLANS FOR A ROYAL VISIT Klan- aad Qstis of Portacal will pond Twa Weeks la England. LISBON.

MELSINQFORS. Oct. 22.-(Special Cable gram to The Bee.) Prince Obolensky, the new governor general of Finland, haa re cently concluded a tour undertaken with a view to acquainting himself with the situation and reporting oi it to the cxar. Before starting for his Journey he had In timated that he would welcome eveiy frank statement regarding the condition and the desires of the people. At almost every stopping place the prince was watted upon by 'deputations. The addresses to be read before the governor general were, however, previously subjected to a rigorous censor ship by the provincial governors of the officials In Prince Obolensky's entourage, and In many cases the deputations were not received. One of these oftVHIs de clared In defense of this action that, since Obolensky was going to present to the csar a truthful report on the situation in Finland, it was not permissible ' that such outspoken and uncompromising state ments should be laid before him. On one or two occasions, however, as in Abo and Tammerfors, the deputations managed somehow, In spite of the obstacles thrown In their way, to approach the governor general. In the latter place a deputation j of laborers had submitted their address to the provincial governor, a Russian named Papkoff, who point blank refused to admit them to Prince Obolensky's presence. On receding this reply the deputation de- L -t-d that. If they were not admitted, they 'would have their address printed and spread 10.000 copies in Tammerfors and the neighboring districts. M. Papkoff then chose the lesser evil and the address was read before Prince Obolensky. It con tained a vigorous protest s gainst the In fringements of the law of the country and denounces those Finnish officials, notably the Senate and the procurator general, who, by their deplorable lack of firmness have more or less directly facilitated the progress of Russlflcatlon. The general tenor of Prince OboIenskVs replies to the various deputatlors has been to the effect that as soon as there were no signs of discontent In Finland and the people gave convincing proof of confidence in the government he had no doubt that normal conditions would once more return In Finland. In the mean time the people ought not to dabble In politics On the other hand, there Is lltt'.e doubt that Prince Obolensky will pursue a more lenient policy than General Bobrlkoff. and S-n-C'Sri.r newspapers express themselves tentatively with great freedom. Permission has bean granted for the starting of three news papers, Including a dally paper, the Helsln gln Sanemal, to be published soon In the Finnish language In Helslngfors, and to replace the Pgivnlehtl. which was , 'sup pressed a few days, after General Bobri- korrs death.

The prevailing feeling among the pope's advisers regarding the attitude of- the Vatican at the coming elec tions seem to be not to abolish the de cree forbidding Catholics to vote. The Osservatore Romano, the organ of the Vatican, however, in unofficial articles urges that the abstention from voting be merely to mask the free hand in the mat ter left to the bluhops, and advises the faithful to vote when It Is considered advantageous to do so In view of the local conditions. If this decision Is deflnlt the clericals' will not have a party of their own in the chamber, but will oppose the extremist and antl-rellglous candidates, esepclally the socialists, and will favor the conservatives. The pope is now working on a circular to be addressed to the French clergy. It will make no reference to policies. The pontiff will merely encourage the social and religious action of the clergy. The fact that there will be no allusions to policies In the circular Is looked upon here as ending the policy Inaugurated by the late Pope Leo XIII and Cardinal Ram polla, former papal secretary of state, which aimed at the transformation of the French Catholics Into supporters of the republic.

No really important aggressive movements, however, are an nounced. A very heavy engagement Is Con sidered certain to occur before many days to the southward of Mukden, as a result of the concentration In that vicinity of Immense bodies of the opposing forces.

In All of the European Capitals. (Copyright, by New York Herald Co., 1904.) ST. PETERSBURG. Ocx. 22.-(New York Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.) All the Indications point to the probabl I lei of General Kouropatkln's pol icy of waiting again predominating. At the recent meeting of Viceroy AlexUff and eGneral Kouropatkln, the former convince! the latter that he was right in calling for more troops, the truth being. that the shrinkage of the Russian army csusel by fatalities, casualties and above all Illness, Is enormous. In addition the amount of shot and shell expended far exceed all records In any previous war, more ammu nition, for Instance, having been expended at Llao Yang than during the entire Russo Tu.kish war. There has been much excitement dis played alt day long by the populace, caused by the publication ot an Imperial orfler calling for the mobilisation of regi ments tn the military districts of Moscow, Vllna, Kief and Odessa, for nt March. An Ides, of the extent of this can be galnej by mention of the fact that the names of the towns Included in the order fill a col umn of small print. The greatest care Is exercised that no Information of the military position at th front becomes known. Among the mili tary authcri.les the conviction grows that there may be a long pause before hostili ties are resumed. . Frost has set In and this signifies much. Perplexed Over Wounded. The most perplexing of the questions arising out of the war Is what to do with the enormOda number oi wounded rapidly returning from the front. To the number re added at least 30,000 as a result of the htlng about Mukden. Harbin overflows, iuUIi has all it can accommoJate . and Siberian road is crowded . with trains of unfortunates. Hospital accornmo on as a rule is not extensive In lcua- towna ireover, Is the very serious question noney. The large ' funds of the Red s society are exhausted, and the fe ces of the private charutlea, organised inembers of the Imperial family and s, are mere drops In the ocean in the of the numbers which will have to be cared for. 1 The idea of the church coming to the rescue haa been moved. The churoh In Russia has grown exceedingly rich through small' but multiple donations of the poor all over the country. The monasteries have riches untold. Prince Ouktowsky upon this subject says: "Our people, as everyone knows, are In the worst degree of poverty, but when any thing Is to be done for the cloister they make It the matter of honor and conscience to give their last kopeck. Those kopecks, coming from the pockets of millions, have provided the cloisters with millions of oapt. Uil. Now the people themselves are In terrible want; hundreds of thousands are suffering upon the fields ot battle, lacking good clothes, and even linen to bind thali wounds. , i ' "Millions of roubles are needed on thit account. The eyes of the community are set with hope upon the cloisters. .A great and godly work awaits the participation of the cloisters." Of late one constantly hears of a proposal for the government to make a serious ap peal to the church for a Urge sum to pa used for the war. In Russia such an appeal Is tantamount to an Imperial Imperative rder. ' Talk of Black Sea Pleat. BERLIN, Oct. ii.

Be- Although It is Impossible at this hour to secure an authoritative statement regard lng the London St. James Gusette's report that Russia intends sending the Black sea fleet to the fur eust, and with that object In view Is bringing pressure to bear upon the Porte to secure permission to 'permit the fleet to pass out through the Darda nelles, It Is considered a canard In well Informed circles. A small faction of th admiralty did favor at one time-defiance of the treaty of Paris, but It was strong. y turned down and when the subject was bruited at that time the Associated Press was authoritatively Informed that nothing of the sort was over sven Seriously con templated.
