RUSSIANS LOSE !
■ ANOTHER BIG SHIP
Fine Cruiser Bogatyr Stranded
at Vladivostok and Was
Later Blown Up.
WIN A VICTORY ON LAND
Force of Russian Cavalry Surrounded
Seven Miles North of Taku .Shan
and Destroyed With Many
Dead and Prisoners.
London, May 24.—A dispatch to the :
j St. James Gazette from Kobe, Japan, j
-dated today, after conllrming the re- !
port of the stranding of the Russian !
protected cruiser Bogatyr on the rocks
near the entrance of Vladivostok, adds |
that the Bogatyr was subsequently
blown up by the Russians to prevent
her falling into the h-nds of the Japa
nese.
The Bogatyr was a fine modern
cruiser of 6.750 tons displacement. Her
crew numbered 580 men.
A dispatch to the Japanese legation
from Tokio says Vice Admiral Togo
reported today as follows:
"The gunboat squadron and torpedo
boat destroyers and torpedo boat flo
tillas approached Port Arthur yester- !
day for the purpose of reconnoitering, 1
which was successfully effected with
little damage, in spite of the hot cross- ;
fire from the forts. There were no cas
ualties on our side ”
Russia Admits It Now.
St. Petersburg, May 24.—in spite of
denials from the admiralty here, re- ;
ports emanating from Russian sources
were persistently circulating that the
Russian protected cruiser Bogatyr is
on the rocks near Vladivostok.
Her exact position is not revealed. I
Rear Admiral Jessen, according to re- j
ports, is making a determined effort to j
save her, with what is considered to be
a good chance ot success. It is known I
positively the Bogatyr has not been i
blown up, no necessity for such action j
having yet arisen.
Will Storm Port Arthur.
Chicago, May 21.—A special to the
Daily News from Tokio says:
Port Arthur is to be taken by storm (
the moment proper preparations have
been completed. Siege guns have yet |
4o be placed in position and the land 1
forces appointed for the assault have
to be strengthened. The unexpected .
loss of two fine vessels has emphasized
the insecurity of sea power and the
authorities feel that no chances must i
be taken that would encourage Russia
to send out the Baltic fleet, counting
on finding a harbor of refuge in Port
Arthur.
It is realized that the storming of the
fortress will inevitably cost many
lives, but it is said that the waters
where the Japanese ships are forced to
maneuver are becoming so dangerom
because of floating mines that heroic
measures are imperative. Under these
-circumstances it is thought that life
will be economized by storming the
stronghold and eliminating it and the |
adjacent waters from the area of actual
■conflict.
A Japanese Victory.
Tokio, May 24.—The Japanese forces '
which landed at Taku Snan at the
mouth of the Dayan river, west of the '
Yalu, Thursday, surrounded and rout- I
-ed a force of Russian cavalry Friday j
evening in the neighborhood of Wang I
•Chi Tung, seven miles north of Taku \
k Shan. The Russian force,'which con- j
®1 ) sisted of about one squadron, lost :
t many men killed or wounded, and the 1
captain was captured. The Japanese
sustained no losses.
Although it has not been officially re- ]
ported, it is said on good authority, the
Japanese forces have captured Kai
• Chou, driving the Russians back to j
Tashi Chia, in the direction of New- j
chwang, and preventing an advance of :
-the Russian troops at Newchwang in
‘the direction of Kai Chou.
Ready to Take New Chwang.
The bombardment by the Japanese
of the vicinity of Kan Chou recently
was probably in preparation for a land
ing of forces in the northwest corner
of the Liao Tung peninsula for the
purpose of capturing Newchwang and
co-operating with the other armies in
the march on Liao Yang. It is prob
able a small Japanese force has been
. landed at Kin Chou bay.
Russians in Korea.
Seoul, May 24.—The Japanese consul
at Gen San reports that tne first colli
sion between Russian and Korean
troops has taken place at Kan Kow
(Ham Heung), recently the center of
the northern Tonk I-Iak disturbances.
The Cossacks attacked the so-called
city castle at 7 p. m. May 19, and ex
changed shots for three hours with the
Korean garrison of 300 men, who lost
one man killed. The Russians are sup
posed to have retired toward the north
wset. The natives report several Rus
sians were wounded. Telegraphic com
munications have now been established
to a point eighty miles north of Gen
San.
The Fight at Kin Chow.
St. Petersburg, May 24.—The genera,
staff Las received a message from Gen
Stoessel giving his account of the tight
north of Kin Chow on Monday last.
Tiir.c Russian regiments were at
tacked by two Japanese divisions, with
'•"tt batteries of artillery. The Rus
sians lost 160 killed and wounded, in
cluding one officer killed and Brigadier
■General Nadein slightly wounded. The
Japanese losses are not known, but it
is believed they were heavy. The en
emy’s advance on Kin Chow was ar
rested.
The general staff ascertains that this
attack on the Russian troops was ar
ranged to take place simultaneously
with a landing of Japanese troops in
Kerr bay, which was unsuccessful ow
ing to the number of Russian mines
there. The general staff expects to
hear of another stubborn fight at Kin
Chow.
• The landing of a Japanese force to
flank Kin Chow will be exceedingly
difficult, and the waters of Talien Wan
bay are too shallow to permit a de
barkatlon of troops.
^ A general staff says the whole re
gion northwest of Feng Wang Cheng is
clear of Japanese and that reinforce
ments ' ' daily arriving at Liao Yang.
The sm .c.nent from Newchwang that
there lc elcgraphic communication be
tween that town and Port Arthur is
not believed by the general staff to be
correct.
Skrydloff Must Hasten.
Harbin, May 24.— The expected
meeting between Vice Admiral Skryd
loff and Viceroy Alexieff has been post
poned. The admiral arrived here this
morning and found awaiting him the
viceroy's orders to proceed to Vladi
vostok without going to Mukden.
Skrydloff expected to return to Har
bin.

4 PROGRESS OF THE WAR. 4
4 4
4 On the face of the reports from 4
4 the seat of war during the week 4
4 just closed the Japanese have suf- 4
4 fered the most disastrous seven 4
4 days' period since the contiict be- 4
4 gan. There is even some disposi- 4
4 tion among volatile observers to 4
♦ assume that the turn of the tide. +
4 which the Russians from the start 4
4 so confidently predicted, has set in. +
4 « The great Japanese naval disaster 4
4 in losing a great battleship and also 4
4 a cruiser on the same day will 4
4 hardly be overestimated in its seri- 4
4 ousness. Yet the claim that it can 4
♦ possibly disturb the balance of na- +
4 val power Is hardly warranted. 4
+ Today come report, apparently so 4
+ definite and detailed as to warrant 4
4 acceptance, of the loss of one of 4
4 the finest vessels of the Vladivo- 4
4 sok squadron of the Russians. Go- 4
+ ing back to the. Petropavlovsk hor
4 ror, this makes a battleship and a 4
4 cruiser lost by the Russians, and a 4
4 battleship and cruiser by the Japs. 4
4 It is practically an even exchange. 4
4 Yet before any of these four ves- 4
4 sels were lost, the Japanese con- 4
4 trol of the sea was established and +
4 unquestioned. The forces compare 4
+ now just about as they did before 4
4 the series of accidents began. The +
4 Japanese w’ould seem as sal’ely in +
4 the ascendant as on the day before 4
4 the Petropavlovsk went down. 4
4 Analysis of the campaign on land, *
4 also, does not sustain the claim 4
+ that the Japanese have seriously +
+ lost ground. Rather, It seems to +
+ hear out the theory that they are 4
4 playing for eC sure thing, and have +
+ it in sight. 4
4 It is now accepted by military ex- 4
+ perts that the Japanese have an 4
+ army behind Mukden; probably of 4
+ about 35,000. They also have two or 4
+ three to the south of Mukden. The 4
4 object is to draw these various 4
+ forces about Kuropatkin’s force and 4
+ by a united and simultaneous attack 4
4 crush or capture him. Sedan, where 4
+ Von Moltke captured almost 100,- 4
+ 000 French soldiers by surrounding 4
4 them while they did not realize 4
+ their clanger, is the comparison con- 4
+ stantly made with the present +
+ strategic plan of the Japanese. The 4
+ skill with which the army now 4
4 known to be northeast of Mukden 4
4 was handled to get it there with- 4
4 out the enemy or the outside wrorld 4
4 suspecting its movements, is re- 4
4 garded as marvelous. 4
4 Naturally, the Japanese are not 4
4 going to light a decisive engage- 4
4 ment till they are ready to strike 4
4 with all their forces at once. The 4
4 dispatches have told of a Japanese 4
4- force advancing toward Liao Yang, 4
4 from the south, encountering a su- 4
4 perior Russian force and retiring 4
tvery quickly. This was part of the 4
Japanese plan; the other Japanese 4
4 armies were not ready; they had 4
+ not reached the positions from 4
4 which they could unite in the grand 4
4 final crushing movement; and so 4
4 they retired, and may continue re- 4
4 tiring, till they get their different 4
4 forces into the right positions. 4
4 Kuropatkin is in the position of a 4
4 baserunner caught between the 4
4 bases. 4
4 A decisive battle in Manchuria 4
4 does not seem to close as it did a 4
4 few* days ago; but its outcome 4
4 seems more certainly a Japanese 4
4 victory than ever before. The very 4
4 rapidity and success of the Jap- 4
4 anese retirment on Feng Wang 4
4 Cheng proves how’ carefully they 4
4 are playing the game. 4

Italian Shoots Down a Woman and Is
in Turn Killed by Victim’s
Husband.
Dubois, Pa.. May 24.—At Cardiff, a
village near here, an Italian woman
sacrificed her life for her husband’s
hat, being shot down in cold blood by
another Italian while recovering the
hat, and a half an hour later the
murderer was lying dead, his head full
of buckshot from the gun of the hus
band of the murdered woman.
Frank Paul, a prominent Italian resi
dent of Cardiff, left home Saturday
night to visit friends at a boarding
house a short distance from his home.
A quarrel arose between Paul and
Savorlo Pellingereno, an Inmate of the
house. Although the quarrel was
trivial, Paul, suspicious of danger would
not remain, and left hurriedly for his
house. His wife urged him to return
for the hat, but Paui was timid about
returning, and his wife volunteered to
go and get it. She walked to the board
ing house, which was in plain sight of
Paul's home and as she stooped to re
cover the hat Pellingereno fired point
blank at her with a shotgun. The
charge of shot entered the woman’s
head and she fell dead.
Paul, who had witnessed the scene,
took a revolver and shotgun and start
ed to avenge his wife’s death.
As the Italian was trying to escape
Paul fired several shots from his re
volver, but missed. Pelligereno suc
ceeded in locking himself in his room
and Paul stood guard in the hallway.
The people about the house were ter
rorized and would not interfere.
After half an hour Pelligereno, hear
ing no stir, stuck ills head through the
door. Paul, quick as a flash, fired his
shotgun, killing the murderer of his
wife.
After examining ttie body to see that
no life remained, Paul picked up his
wife’s body and tenderly carried it to
his home. Surrounded by his three
children, the officers, when they came
to arrest him, found him bending and
weeping over the remains.
The residents of the village uphold
Paul, who bears a good reputation.
FATAL~POLO GAME.
Harry D. Babcock, Jr., of Yale, Acci
dentally Struck on the Head,
New York, May 24.—Harry D. Bab
cock, jr., a member of the freshman
class of Yale, and a player on the Yale
polo team, died at his home here from
the effects of an accidental blow on the
head from a polo mallet In the hands
of a fellow player, \V. C. Devereux. The
accident occurred Saturday afternoon
in Vancortlandt park in this city, dur
ing the last half of the first intercol
legiate polo game ever played in this
country. Babcock plumped No. 2 in the
Yale lineup and Devereux No. 3 on the
Princeton side.
According to his own version of the
affair, Babcock intentionally slipped
from his pony to the ground after being
struck, but partially recovering from
the dizziness that followed the blow, he
Insisted upon returning to the game.
Captain Baldwin of Yale overruled
him, however, and put another player
in his place. It was not until several
hours later that the serious nature of
the injury became apparent, and the
young man’s condition then grew so
rapidly worse that he died while sur
geons were preparing for an operation.

A Remarkable Struggle.
The Illinois convention is one of the
most remarkable ever known. It
opened on Thursday, May 12, and has
therefore been In session eight days,
not counting Sunday, without accom
plishing anything toward nominating a
head for the ticket.
The pre-convention fight had been
bitter. Cook county had divided be
tween I.owden and Deneen, being sol
idly against Gov. Yates. The governor
led In the rural parts of the state;
Deneen had the majority of Cook
county; Lowden had the minority of
Cook and some country support, to
gether with the corporation influences,
the railroads, etc.: Deneen was sup
ported by the advocates of honest ad
ministration and emancipation from
corporation Influences, standing on his
splendid record as prosecutor of Cook
county. Attorney General Hamlin and
former Speaker Sherman of the Illi
nois house represented much the same
general sentiment as Deneen.
Like Missouri’s Fight.
Illinois’ fight was very similar to that
of Missouri. It is a fight of the decenter
element in the republican party to es
cape from corruption which Is based on
patronage and the bribes of corpora
tions. The franchises of the city of
Chicago are the great prize in Illinois
politics. Deneen stands for the pro
tection of the public from the franchise
filchers. Cook county hates Yates be
cause he has sided with the corrupt
machine that has sought to use the
legislature to despoil the city. Deneen
has done a great work towards purging
Illinois republicanism, just as Folk did
a wonderful work toward regenerat
ing the democracy of Missouri. Each
was brought into the gubernatorial race
on the strength of his record as prose
cutor. Folk has won; Deneen has thus
far failed because the Illinois machine
Is more powerful than the Missouri
boodlers’ organization.
How little progress has been made
toward a nomination in Illinois may
be seen from the figures given above,
on the first and last ballots. Doubtless
the adjournment will give the politi
cians a chance to do business. Deneen’s
chances would seem much decreased as
n result nf it.
The Platform.
The platform reaffirms the, princi
ples expressed in the national plat
form of 1900. It views with satisfaction
the fulfilment of republican pledges
and the proofs of republican fidelity
to the party's mission, as exemplified
by the achievements of the party. Con
tinuing, the platform says:
"We again pledge the party to the
maintenance of the gold standard and
to financial legislation that will secure
equal Justice to all.
"We reaffirm our loyalty to the pro
tective tariff policy which has ad
vanced us to the position of the fore
most industrial nation. The prospect
of general revision of the tariff by the
democratic party, whose leaders in
congress are free traders, as their rec
ords show, would close the factories
and workshops, throw labor out of em
ployment, i educe the price of products
of the farm, bring on general distress
and paralyze the industries of the na
tion.
"We favor such appropriations by
congress as shall place our navy In
point of strength and efficiency in its
proper position among the navies of
the world.”
A high tribute is paid to Secretary
Hay for his course in maintaining the
open door policy in the orient, and the
policy of the democratic party Is de
nounced in its desire to abandon the
Philippines. The attitude of congress
and of Roosevelt for courageous and
vigorous prosecution of violators of
the Sherman anti-trust law is com
mended and such further legislation as
may be required for the regulation of
trusts is faovred.
Roosevelt Instructions.
The resolutions proceed: "We com
mend the wise, able and vigorous ad
ministration of President Roosevelt,
and we hereby instruct the delegates
from this convention to the national
republican convention to contribute by
their influence and votes to his nomi
nation."
The administration of Gov. Yates and
the state officers is Indorsed and Sen
ators Cullom and Hopkins and Speaker
Cannon and the congressional delega
tion are commended for patriotic and
untiring devotion is public duty.
The delegates are Instructed to use
all honorable means to secure the nom
ination of Robert R. Hitt for vice pres
ident.
The death of the late Marcus A
Hanna is feelingly referred to. The
Btate legislature is commended for the
enactment of the convict labor law;
and the enactment of a primary elec
tion law and an efficient and compre
hensive civil sendee law, applicable tr
all state employes, is recommended
and voters without regard to party are
urged to assist in the adoption of the
amendment to the constitution empow

state administration was read the ad
herents of Governor Yates started a

The vote on adoption of the report was
unanimous.
STUDENT^ENJOINED.
Relatives of Wealthy and Aged Widov.
Say He Has Undue Influence
Ovor Her.
New Haven, May 33.—Ernest H.
Hurd of Wilton, Conn., a Yale senior,
has been temporarily restrained by
injunction issued by the common
| pleas court from communicating, either
i In person or by letter, with Mrs. La\in
la H. Foy, a wealthy widow of this
city, or from exercising any influence
j to obtain her money.
Mrs. Foy Is 90 years of age and has
a fortune estimated at $1,000,000 or
more. Hurd is a quiet, unassuming
student of no means, who is working
his way through Yale.
The injunction was sued out by Gen
eral George «i. Harmon, a wealthy resi
dent of this city and a son of Mrs. Foy
by her first husband; by Charles Hellier
of Boston, another relative, and by
Burton Mansfield, a wealthy lawyer of
this city, who, with Mr. Hellier, have
charge of Mrs, Foy’s property by
reason of a trust agreement recently
executed.
Three years ago Hurd was engaged
by the relatives of Mrs. Foy to live
in her house that there might be a
man about the premises. Two months
ago he suddenly changed his lodgings
for mysterious reasons and went to
live on the Yale campus. According
to the Injunction just Issued It Is
claimed Hurd has “acquired an Influ
ence over Mrs. Foy so great as to
practically control her mind and con
duct.”
Says He Got Money.
When ordered away, the writ says
Hurd not only threatened to return,
but constantly corresponded with Mrs.
Foy and kept up communication with
her. The petition for the writ further
says: “During the three years Hurd
has induced Mrs. Foy to give him large
sums of money and has also Induced
and persuaded her to furnish him with
the money to make two trips to
Europe by means of arts, guile and de
vices intended to excite her sympathies
and has persuaded her that he Is In a
delicate condition of health, which Is
, not true.
“Said Hurd threatens to continue his
arts and devices to influence her
against her family and relatives, and
Intends to obtain more money from
her. While In the house he so con
ducts himself ns to interfere with and
annoy the servants and has succeeded
In estranging Mrs. Foy from her family
and relatives. Said Hurd threatens to
continue to communicate with said
Mrs. Foy, and his Influence unless re
strained will have such an effect as to
Injure her health and her mlml, and
defraud her of large sums of money."
Besides an Injunction the relatives
claim $1,000 damages from Hurd. He
has obtained counsel and intends to
fight the charges against him. His
lawyer said tonight:
“Mr. Hurd went to five at Mrs. Foy’s
house and she took an Interest In him.
She had helped him some to make his
way through college, but he had ex
ercised no Influence over her and the
action of the relatives Is most ex
traordinary.”
Mrs. Foy Is the widow of James H.
Foy. She was twice married In her
younger days. She Invented a corset
which bore her name and her late hus
mand made an enormous fortune In its
manufacture. Through tills Mrs. Foy
acquired the soubriquet of "Mme. Foy.”
She has lived a quiet lire during the
past fifteen years. She recently gave
$30,000 to the Y. M. C. A. In this city
for the construction or an auditorium
In memory of her husband.
By the terms of the trust agreement
all of Mrs. Foy’s property Is to be In
control of and managed by Messrs.
Hellier and Mansfield until her death,
when It is to be distributed according
to the terms of her will made In 1900.
This arrangement was made by her
relatives. It Is said, to prevent any
change being made in her will in favo
of Hurd. _
THIRTEEN LIVES LOST.
British Steamer Turret Bay Struck o»
Rocks and Goes Down Off
Cape North.
North Sydney. N. S„ May 23.—The
worst marine disaster In the history ot
the St. Lawrence river coal trade oc
curred Friday off Cape North, the
northernmost point of Cape Breton
i when the British steamer Turret Bay
I laden with coal and bound from Syd
ney to Montreal, struck on the rocks
off St. Paul's island and sank In deer
water twenty minutes later, causing n
loss of thirteen lives. Only nine men
fron a crew of twenty-two were saved
All the officers and two engineers went
down, besides seven seamen.
According to the government agen:
at St. Paul's island, the steamer struck
near Southwest Light about 8:3(
o’clock In the morning. A dense foj
prevailed at the time and the sea was
running mountain high. Almost imme
diately the Turret Bay backed off trite
deep water, but sank within twent>
minutes.
The crew attempted to cut the boats
clear, but while thus engaged the ves
sel plunged down, bow first, carryinj
every man aboard with her. Some o:
i the men struggled to the surface anc
I clung to floating pieces of wreckage
! Fourteen persons were taken off th
wreckage by the life saving crew that
put out from the island, but five o:
1 them died before reaching the Island
The survivors say that they <\id no
! know they were in danger until th<
vessel struck. The fog was so thirl
that the shore could not be seen, and
hearing the fog horn at the lighthouse
I they mistook It for the whistle of an
other steamer.

MISS ANTHONY SEES
ONLY CORRUPTION
Susan B. Talks Pessimistically
About General Political
Conditions.
GOES TO BERLIN MEETING
Leader of the Suffrage Cause Think!
the Time Must Come When Wom
an Will Have to Be Taken in
to Save Public.
New York, May 24.—Among the pas
sengers on the North Geaman Lloyd
liner Frederlch der Grosse were nearly
1U0 delegates to the international coun
cil of women’s clubs, which meets In
Berlin June 6. Miss Susan B. Anthony
was ut the head of the delegation. Be
fore sailing Miss Anthopy said:
"We are nearer gaining our point to
day than ever before. We are more
enlightened, but until women can con
vince their fathers, husbands and
brothers of the justice of suffrage the
doors will be closed against us, and
mercy knows when they will be opened.
For we nre not fighting alone against
the old prejudice today. The men of
the country are one muss of corruption.
They form a great ring and don't mean
to let women Inside. They don’t want
women to know Just what they are
sexually, politically or financially. But
when women get their own constitu
ency they can get Inside the ring, and
In spite of the politicians go to con
gress and not only demand suffrage,
but get it.”
The Women “Repeaters.”
Miss Anthony was somewhat indig
nant over the notoriety given the fact
that two women "repeaters" were ar
rested In Denver this week for fraudu
lent voting.
"For,” said she, "there were probably
2,000 men at that election who voted
Illegally, but, of course, nothing was
ever heard of it, but persons who are
opposed to suffrage are only too glad
to get the opportunity to bring oppro
brium upon women. The thing has
never happened before, and a funny
thing about this case is that the woman
who claimed to have discovered the Il
legality suddenly disappeared and was
not there to appear against them. There
was never a time when politically the
situation was so corrupt as now. Not
only In our city and state, but It is
the same the country over. Politics are
Interwoven into ever fiber of public In
stitutions and corruption is rampant.
Politicians are only too glad of an op
portunity as that in Denver to slap the
suffragists, and no occasion, whether
real or manufactured, is allowed to slip
which can be used to rap women in
politics.”
In a recent will case In Rochester
Miss Anthony, who was asked to testify
has been quoted ns Buying that women
didn’t know the use of money. When
asked If that meant that women were
unduly extravagant, Miss Anthony
said:
Don’t Handle Money.
"Not at all. That Is not the point.
What I meant was that women are
not used to handling money and com
paratively few are, during the lives of
their husbands, so that when the op
portunity comes they don’t know how
to spend It wisely, consequently they
hold on to It. In this particular case
a young woman whom I knew since
she was a child, herself a poor girl,
married a man, a distiller, who, dying
a while ago, left her well off—at least
with a handsome house and about
$100,000 a year Income.
"Never having been accustomed to
the use of money, she refused to help
many worthy objects with which she
was perfectly familiar. As a conse
quence not knowing how to spend her
money she held onto It.
"I say It only goes to show how
handicapped women are. They are
kept In ignorance of their husbands’
business situation, have no handling of
money, no dispensing of charity, only
the use of a grudging sum, dealt out
occasionally for personal needs. It Is
no wonder that when they are suddenly
left with big Incomes they don't know
what to do.
“Oh, I gave them some digs,” said
the veteran suffragist, laughing, "and
I wish I’d given them more."
When asked what would be her sub
ject at the quintennlal. Miss Anthony
replied:
"My speaking days are over. They
will have to be content to look at me,
not hear me."

VATICAN AGITATED.
decent Conflict With French Govern*
ment Over Loubet's Visit of
Serious Nature. , .
Rome, May 24.—Vatican authoritie
continue to be agitated over the con
flict with the French government grow
ing out of the protest against Presi
dent Loubet's visit to Rome, and the
recall of M. Nisard, the French am
bassador to the Vatican.
The pope said mass this morning in
the presence of 640 Italians and for
eigners and gave up the rest of the
day to the consideration of the diffi
culties with France, reading clipping^
from the newspapers on the subject.
The Vatican authorities hope that M.
Nisard will soon return to Rome, be
ing Influenced by the fact that his
family is still here.
The question as to how L’Humanlte
of Paris became possessed of the note
of protest addressed to the other pow
ers, which varied from that sent to the
French government, is daily becoming
more Interesting. It seems to be now
certain, as was at first supposed, that
the indiscretion was due to the prin
cipality of Monaco, the Vatican’s note
to which was stronger than that ad
dressed to the other Catholic states In
consequence of the Vatican having been
informed that Prince Albert of Monaco
Intended to visit the king of Italy. A
further reason why the note to the
principality of Monaco was more em
phatic. It is said at the Vatican was be
cause Prince Albert was the friend of
Captain Dreyfus, who had worked
against the French government, and
also because the clerlco nationalists
were In accord. If not In the same Held
with M. Jaures, the socialist leader,
who originated the present agitation.
It is said that Prince Albert was
offended because the late Pope Leo
at his last Jubilee refused the Peter's
pence sent by Monaco because the
money had Its source in gambling op
erations. The relations between Prince
Albert and the Vatican became more
strained when the latter rejected Prof.
Klein, translator of the workH of Bish
op John L. Spalding, of Peoria, who
was proposed by Prince Albert as bish
op of Monaco.
The ministry of the interior author
izes a denial of the statement that M.
de Navonne, first secretary of the
French embassy to the Vatican, will
act as charge d'affaires at the em
bassy. stating that the government
considers that his selection would at
tenuate the Importance of the action
taken in the recall of Ambassador
Ntsard.
Tho Only Topic in Paris.
Paris, May 23.—The recall of M. Nis
ard, French ambassador to the Vatican,
continues to be the absorbing topic.
The amb.'issador Is expected to arrive
here tomorrow morning, when he will
confer with foreign Minister Delcasse
and go over the details of the rupture
between France and the Vatican pre
liminary to the meeting of the council
of ministers on Tuesday when a fur
ther line of action will be determined
upon.
Contrary to general expectations.
Monsignor Lorenzelli. the papal nuncio
at Paris, will not leave his post, at least
not at present.
The tone of the socialist papers indi
cates that that powerful element has
urged the government to take most
extreme measures. Deputy Gerait Rich
ard say>, In the Petite Republique that
the mutter must proceed until the con
cordat has been ended.
The Rome correspondent of the
Temps says that Vatican officials lay
great stress upon the fact that the pope
alone directs the policy of the holy see.
When Cardinals Vannutelll, Gotti, Ag
llardl and others saw the pope on
Thursday and Friday, according to
the correspondent, his holiness fore
shadowed the first stage of the con
flict, but he declared so energetically
that he was responsible to God alone
for his actions and was acting thus
for the greatest good of the church that
the cardinals did not dare to remon
strate.
GERMANS ARE JEALOUS.
Proposed Trip of English Ruler to Kiel
Doesn’t please Them.
Berlin, May 24.—A copyright cable
dispatch to the New York American
says: If King Edward nourishes any
hope of winning the friendship of the
German people by Ills announced visit
to the kaiser during' the KLel meet. It
is evident that he is bound to be dis
appointed.
His "personal diplomacy” Is destined
to meet Its Waterloo In Germany.
It is now several days since the news
was given out that the king of England
would arrive and be the guest of the
kaiser during the annual regattas In
Kiel, but most of the German papers
have simply printed the news without
any comment, some of them even say
ing between the lines that it would
have been more appropriate had ha
stayed away.
The government press Is pointing out
that the visit of King Edward has abso
lutely no political significance, and that
the king merely comes because of his
personal Interest in all kinds of sport.
In political circles, however, there Is
some anxiety which cannot be" con
cealed. German politicians and states
men fear that during the meeting of the
two monarchs the eloquence of King
Edward may win over the kulser to
make promises In regard to changing
the present rather anti-English polities
of German, promises which would
never be carried out with the will of
the people.
England Is as little loved by the Ger
man people as ever and probably still
less on account of her growing influ
ence. It will take years before the
German people will be able to forget
that King Edward stole a march on
Germany by arranging for a peaceful
understanding and regulating of oil
claims with France In Morocco.
It is thought rather peculiar here
that the king should visit the kaiser in
Kiel Instead of Potsdam of this city,
especially as some time ago a London
paper closely connected with the Eng
lish government announced that when
the king should go to Germany he
would go direct to Potsdam, with the
added information that the kaiser had
told King Edward that he could count
on an enthusiastic reception from the
people of Berlin. If the kaiser did say
so, King Edward evidently did not be
lieve In It and has common sense
enough to know that the German peo
ple would never turn out to cheer him.
and for this reason he has selected to
visit the kaiser in Kiel at a tifne when
the many international sporting events
will arouse sufficient cheering to lend
a fitting background to his visit, which
would be lacking here.
