' , "- ' AFFAIRS OF BRITISH NAVY Two Opinions Expressed as Present Effectiveness of Ilia Majesty's Fleet. BOSTON, May II A woman, who claimed to be Carlotta, the wife of Maximilian, former emperor of Mexico and brother of Francis Joseph, present emperor of Aus tria, according to the Herald, left the city after securing some $10,(100 from members of the Italian colony on the pretense that she was rightful claimant to the Austrian throne. Tho Herald says she Is being sought by over loft residents of the North Find dis trict, who for almost eight years have been paying her money to enable her, as they supposed, to gain possession of tho Aus trian throne, upon which event taking place she promised that those who helped her would be made ministers and nobles and be given vast estates. One woman, the wlfo of a prominent Italian, gave her on the strength of the promise that she should be made a duchess. An organ grinder contributed a few hundred dollars, all his savings, on tho understanding thut he should be made court musician. Others contributed tens and hundreds on similar assurances. Holds Court tn Boston. Many Italian residents secretly visited her nt her royal headquarters, a hand somely furnished room In a dwelling house on the corner of two South End streets, where the fiseudo tiueen sat on an Imposing throne, resplendent In red colth and tinsel, and graciously allowed them to kiss her hand on the occasions on which they brought her tributes of money. ' At each side of the throne stood courtiers, and 'a bodyguard who clanked stage arms. Mysterious secrets, such as would over throw the present Austrian ruler, were credited to this woman. .When she ap peared In Boston eight years ago it was mysteriously whispered among the few In the north end that Carlotta, sister-tn-law of Emperor Francis Joseph, was In Boston In disguise, having escaped from Brussels, where she hnd for many years been con fined In an asylum. , Victims Contribute Heartily. Italians are fairly familiar with Austrian history, and when they were told that Carlotta had come here to collect a few faithful followers on whom she could rely and: enough money to return to Austria and use In connection with her all-powerful seprets and that those who aided her would bask, when she gained the throne, In her royal favor, they believed their fortune were made. , . t Carlotta's aides In this va,s.t e.ntetDrts were a' number of scte'ct.and dashing" young men of various nationalities, among whom wis oae. Mojrlarlty. who represented him self to'-bu Crown J'ripoe Rudolph, the. eldest son of Emperor Francis Joseph, who In January, 1SS9, shot himself. ' Recently the Italians were getting rather suspicious, and began to hint openly that Carlotta and her henchmen were delaying matters. Recent visits to the throne room disclosed that the woman bad left. to LONDON. May 14.-t8pecial Cablegram to The Bee. Wo. a speech at Emsworth Hants this week Mr. Arthur Dee, civil lord of the admiralty, took occasion to reply in an indirect way to the recent criticisms of the English .wavy." He said that never In the last 100 years had England's navy been so strong and so well prepared for war as at the present time. As a result of recent reforms Introduced, by , the admiralty, he added, the effective strength of the navy bad been practically doubled. The navai reforms recently introduced were tin resuK of the changed conditions of naval, power, throughout the world and by lesson learned Jn the Russo-Japanese war. What those lessons were he would not say, because England had been In a favoruble position for gaining. Information and did not Intend that other powers should share the special knowledga acquired. Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge. In the course of an Interview regarding Baron D'Estourn elles de Constant's appeal for a .wholesale reduction In the world's naval expenditure, snld this week.: - "The time has not yet come for any re duction of . the British naval force. The government's view, which think reason able, seems, to be that thp annual increase of ths fleet may proceed at a slower rn than has hitherto been the case. "The reuson underlying all these demands for reduction of armaments Is a flnanclul one. I am quite convinced that a very grt reduction of expenditure of the Brit ish navy, at all events, can be made with out Imperilling its efllcleney. In the first place much of tho enormous wastage which la due to bad adnunlst ration might be saved. "With regard to Baron de Constant's sug gestion that England and Fiance should lead the way by cutting down their arma ments, I am of the opinion that If any two considerable naval powers came to an agreement to reduce their navies It would have to bo accoinpunlej b a further agree ment partaking of an .offensive and de fensive alliance. This would be necessary in order to force their views on a third power which might be only too ready to vail Itself of the reduction of Its neighbor's Beats to mako its own stronger than either of the others. "Bcfors the reduction of tho British fleet can be considered as a serious project we must have authentic information as to the naval Intentions of Germany and the I'nlted States.'' PIRACY IN CHINESE WATERS British Consul at Canton Sara Prac tice Cannot Be Entirely Broken I n. ' i SHANGHAI, May 14 -(Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Flracy continues to flourish In tho Canton delta and alng the coast. During the past year there were half a doxen serious organised attacks on British steam launches, the British consul at Can ton reports. Chinese passenger launches and boats are frequently held up and plun dered. Complaints are made tn the local authorities, but nothing Is really done to protect trade. Even within the precincts of the harbor pirates anil robbers plunder and loot with impunity. "Altogether tho situation Is hopeless, and ono Is forced to despair of good govern ment under the present officials," says the consul. "Tho peoplo are left to protect themselves as best they may and such Is their fear and dread of having anything to do with the Chinese yamen authorities that no in.fi, whatever his grlevnneo or wrong, will readily venture to apply to tlie magis trate for usslstance or redress. This Inse curity of lifo and property tells seriously against all development of trade. From the silk districts come repeated complaints of blackmailing by local bandits. Foreign goods sent Into the Interior under transit passes are pirated, and only In one single instance,, after eighteen months of arguing and battling with the officials, has a con sul succeeded In the recovery of a, few articles und the arrest of a few men whom the magistrates gravely gave out as being the culprits. In one case a Hong Kong Junk was pirated and the cargo landed in broad daylight, under the eyes of the local officials, by the villagers, yet nothing is done and no redress can be obtained." H. (Special Fred Hans , returned a AtNSWORTH, Neb., May Telegram.) The Jury In tho case, after being out nil nTght verdict of not guilty. It was April 9, 'l'JOl, when F.' M. Hans, a detective in the employ of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad went to the liouso of David O. I.use, a wealthy ranchman, a widower with three small children, residing on the Niobrara liver, eighteen miles north of Alnsworth, and killed him. Just prior to that time several horses belonging to different parties had been shot on what was known as the David I.use range and suspicion strongly pointed In the direction of Luse as the guilty party. Consequently one Duquette undertook tho task of solving the mystery, and presently reported seeing David O. Duso shoot and kill a horse belonging to Zach Fostei, a neighboring ranchman. Mr. Foster came to Alnsworth and swore out a warrant In Judge. Potter's court April 8, l'.Wl, charging I. use with the crime. F. M. Hans whs In Alnsworth that day and given the warrant to serve. Ne, In company with several others, sturted for tho I.use ranch, but darkness overtaking them Hans thought best to defer making tho arrest until the following morning, when he went to the house alone, with the result that Luse was shot twice by F. M. Hans. A coroner's Jury was called and an In quest, held upon the doftd body of David O. I.iise, which returned a verdict exon erating Hans from any blame In tho prem ises. Nothing further was,heard of the caso until tho peoplo of Iirown county were apprised that a grand Jury was to con vene in Alnsworth on May IS. 1903, or over two years after tho murder was committed. This grand Jury was In session several days and llnnlly found a true bill for mur der In the second degree against Fred M. Hans for the killing of Luse. Tho defend ant in this cuse, upon learning of tho in dictment, returned to Brown county and gave himself up to the proper officials and after several attempts by his attorneys was finally given a trial and found guilty as charged and sentenced to the peniten tiary for life. A stay of execution was secured pending a review of his caso by the supremo court and bail bond lixed at $10,000, which was furnished. About a year ago the supreme court passed upon the case, sending It back on error for retrial. Tho state at the recent term of court elected to file a new complaint, charging linos with murder In tho first degree, Judge Westover sitting as a reviewing magistrate. The evidence was considered sufficient to sustain the contention and tho defendant ordered committed without ball. LINCOLN BOURBONS HOPEFUL Said to Have n Scheme Inenbntinu; to Nominate Bnslnesa Men for the Council. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 14. (Special.) In addi tion to the special election for congress which, now focuses its Interest at Lincoln there Is an aldermanio election, .under the terms of a new ehnrter amendment which Is exciting much Interest. Tho primaries for the choice' of seven republican candi dates "for aldermen will be held Tuesday. These- seven men will mnko up half the council and for four years will have a verj- potent voice In the affairs of the city. Already eighteen candidates are announced and the democrats are still keeping the names of their chosen ones under the rose. The followers of Bryan propose to adopt new tnctlcs which are of a puzzling nature to the republicans. I'nder tho leadership of Mayor Brown a movement Is on foot among them for the nomination of representative business men of the highest standing- men who are primarily not politicians. This scheme, It Is claimed, would give the bourbons a good chance of success against the republican ticket If It Is made up of men whose Interests have been largely In the field of practical politics. These new aldermen, who, with tho seven counellmen now In office, will make up the city legislative body, will be elected by the city at large Instead of from tho wards as under the old law. The special election. to be held In June was a result of a com promise between the friends and opponents Of the scheme who calculated to remove the election of these new officials from tho saloon license contest. The Municipal league has been at work scanning tho list of republican candidates and an announcement from that source Is anticipated tomorrow. It Is claimed that several of the candidates who will go before the primaries will not have the support of that body. and It will not le known until next Thurs day night whether the city Is democratic or republican In administration. C. T. Parish, republican, moved from one ward to the other unthinkingly and woke up to Hnd himself out of a sat. Mayor Friday, who had been out of town, ami who Is a democrat, returned today and said that he has not determined whether he shall nppolnt a republican or democrat to All the vacancy, A democrat will even ud the council and Ills Vote will give a working majority.

WERT POINT, Neb., May 14. (Special.) Two Inches of rain fell during yesterday and last night. The ground is completely soaked. Grass nnd small grain never looked better, but the wet weather will re tard the planting of corn very considerably The Elkhoru river for many miles up and down the stream is hank high and In some places has overflowed tho lowlands. The stream Is higher than for some years and If the present wet spell continues fears are entertained that a large acreage of low lying corn land will be too wet for planting. This was the case three years ago, when thousands or acres or me ricnesi bottom lands In Cuming county were left Idle by reuson of the high water. Steps are being taken by D. S. Crawford post, Grand Army of the Republic, und citizens tn general, to observe Memorial day In a fitting manner. The local post being rapidly reduced In numbers, the membership being only about one-third of that of ten years ago. The Joint teachers' Institute of Cuming and Burt counties, to be held here Au gust 14, bids fair to bo a great success. Already 167 non-resident teachers have en gaged rooms and board, indicating that the attendance at the institute wlil be record breaker. Commander Booth Collapses. CHICAGO.

(Special Ca blegram to The Bee) Persons interested In milling nil over the world, In fact, ull per sons it terested In financial and govern mental matters will bo interested in leani ng that the Rand gold Industry has at ast reached, so far as output Is concerned, ho position that it held previous to the war. From tho technical point of view alono few realize what strides have been made In Improved machinery and methods of mining, many of which are only waiting the advent of labor to be more generally adopted. Prominent among the Improve ments may be mentioned the tube mills, power gas plants and the more extended use of slime plants. It Is estimated that ho use of tube mills will give a 5 per cent higher extraction at a cost of about half of the value of the gold obtained, although sonvi engineers are of the opinion that tho extra expono? will be much less than this. The cost of treatment by tube mills Is tho same for a high or low grade mine; while, therefore, It should be "quite a profitable undertaking for the richer mines, in tho poorer properties It Is doubtful whether he adoption of the tube mills will be of any very irreat advantage. An int' sting experiment Is being mnde at Cinderella Deep. A new kind of power gas plant Is being erected there and lt3 per formance Is being closely watched. Ac cording to all estimates, It Is expected that the coal bill will be reduced by 50 per cent. Innsmuch as the bill for fuel Is a heavy Item in the gold mines of the Rand, If this experiment does prove successful It argues that very low grade mines In differ ent sections may be profitably worked. In he deeper mines considerable capital ex penditure is being saved by the adoption of a small number of Bhafts for a given plane area than previously proposed. It Is generally considered, however, that there s more scope for a reduction In working costs underground than at the surface. Many mines aro still short of native ahor, and others employing Chinese have not yet had time to bring them to tho full degree of efficiency. Tho miners claim that it is certainly unfair that the mining companies should be compelled to pay a minimum rate of 1 shilling a day, which Is increased U 60 shillings a month after tho first six months. Under the existing ar rangement a Chinese cooley, the mining oper: vs say, can do as small amount of work ua he sees fit and the company by which he Is employed must pay him his stipulated wages, whether be has earned it or not. In this connection It Is worthy to note that at the Van Ryn, which received one of the earliest batches of Chinese, the working costs have fallen during the last twelve months from 23 shillings 7 pence to 18 shillings 11 pence per ton milled. This reduction 1b probably mainly due to the Increased scale of wages, but, nevertheless, goes to prove that the cost of Chinese labor will not be greatly different from the cost of Kaffir labor. The future of the Rand mining industry has never looked so bright as at the present time. One handicap has been the cost of living on the Rund. Since the war house rents nnd other expenses have been very high, and it Is only recently that many Items have come down to what they were before the war M0RETR0UBLE FOR WAR OFFICE Criticism Is Leveled nt War Depart ment Manaarement Because of "Official Indifference." SHAW HAS NO FEAR OF DEFICIT Secretary of Treasury Takes Little Stock in Discussion Now Going On. SOME FIGURES YfAT PROVE SOMETHING After Deilnc'tlna I'minnm Pnjmrnta Last ear's Account Shows Sur plus lleeelp Will Von Increase. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May 14 .-(Special. )-Sec-retary Shaw and his Immediate assistants do not take any stock In the discussion going on between newspapers over the growing treasury deficit. Auditor Andrews of the Treasury department said today that the deficit of $'5,0u0,0UO or JJUHW.OW, which seems absolutely certain, will exist at the close of business on June 3U, could go on for another year and nt tho same time In no wise hamper tho operations of the government. At the dose of business on Thursday last the available cash balance in the treasury was $132.333,0(Hi. The excess of ex penditures over receipts on that same day for tho present fiscal year, with a month and a half still to run, was llA.lXi.OflO. At the close of the fiscal year 1!"4 the deficit was In round figures M1.ixio.Oio. rmt that deficit was brought about by tho pay ment of $50,0i10,000 for the Panama canal and a loan of $4.ti00,Un0 to tho St. Louis ex position. If this 41,rH),000 were deducted from the JDi.GciO.OOO paid out for the two Items above referred to there would have been an excess of receipts over expendi tures of 113,000,0(0. Hut no such an enor mous amount has been paid for tho tisctl year pnding Jcne 30, lpe5, as paid during the fiscal year ending In 14, nnd the ques tion therefore naturally arises, what has created the deficit of JlS.OCO.OnO which seems inevitable for tho present fiscal year? Falling- Off In Receipts. The answer Is readily found In a com parison of the receipts from customs and Internal revenue of 1!W4 with the present fiscal year. In both of theso Items there have been a considerable falling off. Tlvi falling off In customs Is duo to the prac tice of storing Imports In bonded ware houses and keeping these goods there until the market demands their withdrawal. It Is anticipated that a large percentage of tho goods now In the government ware houses will bo withdrawn In the next month and that the customs collections 1 be considerably Increased. This being particularly co of the ranting withdrawals of sugar. As for the Internal revenue re ceipts It Is expected that they will amount to $20.ono,oro during June, which will pull down the deficit considerably. For the first time In the history of tho republican pnity since It had control of he government a deficit exists In time of peace and It can only be accounted for In normoiis expenditures which fho congress hns authorized. "However, as long as wo have gold coin and bullion to the amount of $30,000,000 and gold certificates in the general fund for a like amount," said Auditor Andrews, "we need have no fear of tho future. All we need to do Is to be a little more careful as for the obligations we Incur for tho continuance of our mag nificent country." Stutue for General Slicrlilnn. More than sixteen years ago the move ment looking to the erection of u statue to General Philip Sheridan In this city was begun. Mrs. Sheridan, widow of "Little Phil," the famous cavalry leader, built a house on Sheridan Circle, hoping that upon its completion Its windows might overlook bronze statue erected In honor of her distinguished husband. The house has long since been completed, a Bite chosen for the monument and two designs have been ubmltted, but beyond that the Sheridan Statue commission has done absolutely nothing looking to the completion of the project for which It was created. Secretary Taft, realizing that something should be done by the commission, called hat body together this week with a view f straightening out matters so that work on the statuo may bo begun. Mrs. Hheri- an was present at the meeting and ex plained that ono reason for tho delay rested on the fact that the models submitted by the artists did not give a life likeness of her husbnnd. It was agreed that new nodels should be made, and It is hoped that within a Rhort tlmo the equestrian tatue of Sheridan will be under way. LONDON. May 14 -(Speclal Cablegram to Tho Ree.) Tlitre Is more trouble coming for the War office, though the criticisms now being levelled at that department of tho government service do not call forth any charges more serious than that of "of ficial Indifference." It la now asserted that the new musketry course prescribed for volunteer cadet corps nnd cadet batallions Is a case in point. While Lord Roberts maintained at Uppingham that it was es sential that the youth of the country should be taught to use the rifle, the War office. It l.i claimed has Issued an order which If rigidly observed will deprive a great part of the youth of his country of an op portunity of shooting with a rifle. The new course consists of twelve practices, each of the description known as "slow" and each practice la given as of five rounds, The first three practice are at 1(0 yards, the next three at & yards, and the reminder consists of six practice, two each at 800, 400 and 600 yards respectively. At four practices the use of the rest is prescribed because it Is needed for recruit training. The officer In charge, however, may dis pense with the rest In the case of cadets who, in his opinion, do not require It This optional use of the rest Is prescribed only for practices at the two short ranges and Is the more absurd because it Is not prescribed at the longer ranges in which the position for firing is to be kneeling or sitting, as well as practices In the lying position. It Is to be noticed that the course for enrolled volunteers does not Include firing at 5"0 yards, kneeling or sitting, and yet the cadet is to perform that practice which will in most cases be simply a waste of ammunition. The class of target also has been nltered, and the interest dlmln lshed by cutting out the snnp-shootlng and the disappearing target. ' yet these very courses are Included now In the alternative course prescrlljed for corps- or battalions. which use a shooting gabtry or miintiun range.

The subject of emigration from the United States will probably occupy almost as much attention In congress next win ter as will the subject of Immigration to this country. It has been customary to laugh at tho fears expressed by some of the western statesmen to the effect that there Is dan ger of a large emigration from the farmluK regions of the west to the fertile virgin plains of Western Canada. And yet the latest statistics issued by the Canadian minister of tho Interior indicate thut tho Dominion Is drawing practically 40 per cent of Its new citizens from the I'nlted States. In 1S98 the total number of Immi grants arriving In Canada was 31,ii0. Of hese 11,1.18 came to the Homlnlon from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, while 9,119 were from the I'nlted States. In 19o3 the total Immigration to Canada was 12S.3i"4, nnd of this number 49.473 went from the t'nited States. Such men as Senator ITansbrough of North Dakota, (senator Dietrich of Ne braska and Senator Nelson of Minnesota, have repeatedly pointed out that the west ern states are losing thousands of their very best citizens who are attracted to the Canadian northwestern provinces, es pecially to Manitoba, British Columbia, As vinlbola. Alberta and Saskatchewan through the liberal land laws and the tariff concessions which the Dominion authori ties have so widely made. It Is safe to say that from a financial standpoint tho American emigrant to Canada Is worth 100 times as much as the average Immigrant now being unloaded upon the shores of the t'nited States at the rate of 2.000 or more a nay Home one has aptly snld that the I'nlted States is exchanging Its best citizens from the western states for a mob of organ grinders, bootblacks and peanut peddlers, who nre flooding the cities of the east, and the latest report of the Hon. Clifton Slfton, Canudlan minister of the Interior, seem to prove the correctness of the first part of this assertion at least. The growth of the bureau cf Insular af fairs reads like a romance. It Is a marcel of development and due in Very larpe measure to a plain soldier. Colonel Clar ence B. Kdwards. Of course Colonel Ed wards alone could not have accomplished the' splendid results that stand against the bureau of Insular affairs of the War de partment had he not had such strong and virile personalities as Ellhu Hoot and Wil liam H. Taft back of him. But it can with ! truth be said that Colonel Edwards was the Initiative the motive power which brought the bureau of Insular affairs to Its present exalted j.osltlon. Otllcers and clerks about the W;r de partment saw in the creation of this bu reau an Infringement upon what they re garded as their own prerogatives and they gave him mighty little aid or comfort. And the Insular bureuu was begun under ex ceedingly modest circumstances. Two clerks were given Colonel Edwaris and a mull basket. He bud to fitfht for desks and a room In which to put them. Hut Mrlkle Juhn, then acting secretary of war, aud afterward Root, and now Taft, saw the limitless possibilities for such a division of the War department anil they Insisted that Edwards must have a show. He has hnd his show nnd has won his spurs as one of the most capable, far-sighted and efficient officers tho War department has ever had. Colonel Edwards hates red tape as much as" his satanlc majesty hates holy water. He believes In going direct to the subject rather than bentlng Inbotit the bush, which has become a custom In tho several branches of the fe'deral government. If you know your subject you could not have a more -patient listener than Clarence Edwards. If you don't know your subject the Edwards eye will see quickly the lack of proper appreciation nnd the Interview Is very likely to be terminated abruptly. To some persons Colonel Edwards may ap pear a blunt man, but to his friends he Is one of the most delightful personalities In Washington. He is not only u soldier, trained in the very best school In the world, but a polished scholar who not only has high regard for the Institutions of his na tive country, hut who Is willing wherever possible to broaden those Institutions and help to make the ancient law adaptable to modern thought. As an officer of the line he won four brevets for distinguished gal lantry nnd meritorious service. But though soldier as he Is his greatest achievements have been made ns an administrative factor In the government of our Insular possessions. Overworking- Typewriter. "When a typewriter has been operated for several hours at a stretch It becomes n center of electrical phenomena," remarked a stenographer. "Touch It with something metallic and you will get a distinct shock. At the same time there will be a crackling sound and a spark will appear at tho point of contact. If another person than the one who has tieen operating; it should begin to pound the keyboard after the machine has been In continuous use for a collide of hours he will experience a real electrical sensation, the plns-nnd-needles feeling of a font asleep. Drawing the sheet of paper off the roller rapidly will charge the paper and It will crackle when laid on other paper. It will also adhere to the other sheets or to any surface with which It comes In com net and quite ,( little tug Is necessary to loosen It. A long-worked type writer seems to become an electrical plant on t- small scale and will furnish nil sorts of surprises." Philadelphia Record. Can't Do Heart affections will not get well of them selves; neither do they remain Inactive. If the cause Is not removed, they continue to grow In number nnd severity.
