Vienna. A serious Bituatlon has
arisen In Albania, endangering tho
llfo of the now ruler, I'rlnco WHUam.
According to dispatches to tho Neuo
Frelo Pressc, Essnd Pasha had an
audlenco with Prlnco William and re
signed as governor. Essad Pasha had
300 adherents In his residence and
15,000 In Durnzzo. They started a re
volt, Essad himself firing tho first
shot against tho prince's palace.
Tho prlnco thereupon nppealed to
tho commanders of tho Harlan and
Austrian warships. They landed de
tachments, who set up machine guns
In front of Essad Pasha's house. Tho
Turkish commander was refused per
mission to bo allowed to go abroad
nn Italian "warship and was arrested
nnd placed aboard tho Austrian war
ship Szlgetvar as tho prince's pris
oner. According to other reports, Prlnco
Wiliam discovered a fortnight ago se
cret plans which had been drawn up
by Essad Pasha and ordered him to
disarm his body guard. Assad Pasha
refused, whereupon the Albanian gen
dnrmorle, commanded by Dutch offi
cers, attacked his residence, arrested
him and turnd him over to tho Aus
trian commander.
Flvo hundred men from tho Aus
trian and Italian warships are guard
ing tho prlnco's palace.

JWS takes a long1 tlmo to trickle to
the United States from central Asia.
There are few inhabited places of
tho wholo earth so far away, count
ing tlmo as distance. With the coast
of Asia reached, tho traveler must
meet many strange perils, enduro
many torturing modes of conveyance
nnd spend many weary weeks and
ovon months boforo ho reaches the
wild empire of tho oriental cowboys
who onco conquered tho world, tho
land of Mongolia.
Many wild tales havo been filtering, slowly, but
surely, from that far land In the last three years.
Narratives of butchorlngs, of wars and aggres
sions, of llttlo-understood political turmoils and
battllngs. Out of It all has formed the very real
specter of tho Russian bear, marching with heavy,
sure tread from tho west, grumbling low on tho
road to Pekln and Lhasa.
When China lost this empire, much moro than
twicp as largo as tho southern states which seced
ed in 18G1, and with a population of 4,000,000
yellow-skinned Tartars, little attention was at
tracted. Tho czar and his grizzled officers accomplished
their first stops by appealing to tho Mongolian
sense of patriotism. Now ho is bringing about
tho comploto subjugation of these vast plains by
corrupting a man moro than a priest, a living
Buddha, ono of tho threo embodiments of the
anclont tcachor and god.
There aro threo living Incarnations of Buddha,
tho Dalai Lama of Lhasa, who Is tho supreme
rulor of tho Buddhist world; tho Panchen Lama,
and tho Khutukhta of Urga, tho Mongolian capi
tal and holy city.
When tho English soldiers of Colonel Young
husband Invaded Lhasa, the sacred capital of
Tlbot, In 1904, tho Dalai Lama bocamo a holy
tramp. Far nnd wide, for many years, ho has
wandored over tho face of Asia, followed by a
motley troupo of lesser holies, exceedingly costly
to tho communities which entertained him In
deed, almost a curso to his hosts. To somo West
erners whd saw hlra, he was only a brutal, sen
Bual, stupid young man; to others he was mys
terious, sanctified, tho em
bodiment of tho religion
nnd philosophy of the
East. But on tho whole,
his Influence diminished.
His strongest bold of the
priesthood had depended
on tho fact that fqr nearly
two hundred years a
grand lama had not vis
ited Peking.
When Russia decided it
was time to movo, their
frontier a few hundred
miles further east there
suddenly appeared a mys
terious desire for Inde
pendence on tho part of
tho Inhabitants of Mongo
lia. Behind tho scenes
the Russian emissaries
pulled tho strings. There
was revolt from China.
Tho chiefs of the wild
tribes demanded nutohn.
mous government. They were to be free, with
their own government and courts, even their
own army. Bitter delusion!
Russia forced tho necessary acquiescence at
Pekln. Japan was brought to acquiesce by an
ngreoment on spheres of Interest. The Indignant
protests of the other powers wero somehow
smoothed ovor. Pekln was having much moro
trouble with the southern provinces, the richest
of the empire. Thero was no possibility of send
ing the necessary mOItary expeditions to Urg .
Mongolia became "free," still to a degree under
tho nominal suzerainty of China and now under
the "protection" Of Russia.
The Russians surged In. Their merchants fill
tho market places. Their consular agents are
everywhere and theso agents are very easily of
fended. And with each offence there Is a fur
ther decreaso of Mongolian power.
On the Buddhist New Year's day the Khutukh
ta dared to plead Indisposition and stay away
from paying his respects to the Russian diplo
matic representative. As a result he was forced

Fight Stories' High Prices.
Paris already posseses an organiza
tion on the lines of the Wives' union
It Is proposed to establish In London
In order to control the cost of living.
The baker extracts 18 cents from them
for a four-pound loaf of household
bread, and as much as 20 cents In
some districts, whllo better quality
bread Is nover sold at less than six
cents a pound. Othor necessities of
llfo are equally dear In proportion. In
a manifesto Issued when the League of
Parisian Consumers was formed to
light theso high prices It is stated
that the dearnoss of food Is not due
solely to high tariffs and octroi duties.
Tho average Parisian shopkeeper
wants to retire from business at the
ago of forty or thorenbouts, and bleeds
his customers as much as possible. If
tradesmen could be persuaded to keep
in harness a little longor they would,
It Is thought, bo content with smaller

Rod ants can make a house aliacrtt

The Russians aro us
ing Yuan Shlh Kal to
discipline the Khutukh
ta. Yuen, "president"
of China, has known
how to use religion to
further his own pur
poses. He has re-established
tho stato religion
of China over tho pro
tests of the Christiana
and tho European pow
ers. Now he writers to
tho Khutukhta Inform
ing him that In tho
opinion of tho Tibetan
clorgy, his manner of
living Is open to grave
objection on account of
profanity, and that un
less he mends his ways
he Is likely to be re
pudiated by the Bud
dhist church.
The messago goes
on to enumerate somo
of tho irregularities
committed by tho Khu
tukhta, making' special
mention of his wife
and children as a
worldly possession In
compatible with monas
tic life.
But ho might havo
gone further. A phono
graph and an automo
bile aro among the
frivolities of tho ruler
of Mongolia, and he Is
very fend of betting on
athletic contests.
As one of the heads
of the Buddhist church,
the Khutukhta has no right to marry; yet no
sooner did he become Independent (as ho
thought) than he not only took to himself a wife,
but actually proclaimed her to be tho reincarna
tion of the goddesB Chagandaral
To be anybody In Mongolia you must bo tho
relncaratlon of somebody. This takes tho placo
of Norman blood.
For three years ho has been allowed to main
tain this standing scandal at his monastery at
Urga, the Russians encouraging him. But now
the Russians, using Yuan and tho Dalai lama as
catspaws, aro about to put tho Khutukhta to the
question through the lnst-named worthy.
There will be little sympathy wasted on tho
Khutukhta himself. He Is certainly a most un
worthy representative of the Buddhist church.
The Khutukhtas of Urga originated at tho be
ginning of the seventeenth century, when tho
Dalai Lama, after a long period of real, If not
nominal captivity, at tho capital of Mongolia, re
turned to Lhasa.
The question arose: How would tho Mongols
continue to live without a living
Buddha in their midst? Tho Dalai
Lama then discovered that tho son
Just born Into the house of Tushetu
Khan, tho most powerful of tho Mon
golian princes, a direct descendant of
tho great conqueror of Genghis Khan,
was himself a reincarnation of
Buddha.
The marvelous boy was taken to
Lhasa, there brought up and after
ward sent homo as the first Khutukh
ta (grand abbot) of Urga.
It was from tills great appointment
that tho present Khutukhta, tho eighth,
In the order of succession, has de
scended though not in tho flesh. For
the Khutukhtas have no business to
marry and to establish a dynasty, but
are selected each time on the death
of the last holder of the offico from
among the babies born at that very
moment
None of tho previous seven Khu
tukhtas was allowed to live too long.
It Is a sign of decadence of the old
Pekln authority that tho eighth Khu
tu'dita, who was born in 1871, has suc
ceeded In asserting his right to live so
long as this.
But his life has been a worthless
one. He has a great predilection for
strong liquors, ho Is very fond of
cards, ho likes tho yellow, glittering
metal moro than anything elso in the
,world, and, so far from passing his
tlmo in pious devotions, ne rides in a
motor car, plays tho piano, listens to
the phonograph, and has surrounded
himself with a Ilttlo harem.
It Ib these worldly qualities which
have mado him accessible to Russian
Influences, but it would not surprlso
tho Mongolian world to learn that
they also have brought upon him his
ruin. r
For when It really proves true that
RusBla has withdrawn from htm her
protection nothing will save him from
the Dalai Lama's excommunication
and then a now baby promptly will
be found to presldo as Jebsun Damba
Khutukhta over tho Mongolian church.
