LONDON , Fob. 18. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The revolt
of the London cabbies against the new police
order prohibiting their practice ot crawling
for fares In certain congested thoroughfares
has collapsed. Homo Secretary Hldlcy has
icfuscd to Interfere with the discretion of
the police commissioners and expresses his
approval of their regulations. Public con
venience has been Immensely served by
them. Omnibuses , the vehicles patronized
by the vast bulk of Londoners , now travel
from end to end of the Strand In four
minutes , against ten to fifteen when the
thoroughfare was blocked by crawling cabs.
But the cabbies and cab owners have suf
fered seriously , as 3,000 cabs are lying Idle
in cab yards. Hitherto many people were
compelled to take cabs owing to the slowness -
ness of omnibuses , an objection which the
now regulation has greatly diminished.
Two grave scandals are agitating com
mercial circles In London. . George Raymond
Ulrt , chairman of the Millwall Dock com
pany , n corporation of the highest standing ,
whoso stock Is on the level of public
securities as an Investment , has disappeared ,
leaving the dock accounts .cooked to the
extent of | 1,2SO,000. nirt Is 70 years old
nnd Is bolloved to have committed suicide.
Ills only daughter Is advertising In agonized
terms for him In the newspapers.
The other scandal Is connected with the
robbery of $300,000 from the Paris bank.
A gentleman offered Information to the bank
to enable the recovery of the balance of the
notes , $200,000 worth of which had been al
ready returned. Ho was Informed that the
bank authorities were already In possession
of all needful Information. It Is believed
the whole sum has been secretly recovered
by the bank , which places It under the sus
picion of having compounded a felony.
Questions are to be asked In the House of
Commons on the subject ot the scene at the
Prince of Wales theater on the production
of a new comic opera by Coquette , the
libretto by Harry Dam and the music by
Juntiu Clcrlce. It Is the cause of a fierce
controversy between theatrical managers as
to tht alleged operations of clnquers hired
by rivals on first nights. Lowenfleld , lesse
rf the Prince of Wales theater , charged the
gallcr > Ite3 with being paid to hoot bis piece.
Ko ccrroboratlon of this accusation has
been farthccmlng , and other managers re-
put.o : the aspersion that such disgraceful
lr.cM-3 r.re followed or could bo successful
in damning n meritorious production. The
veidlct cf succeeding audiences during the
week have justified the first nlghters dis
appointment nt Coquette , and Manager
LonoKlleld'H first night Irritation has ad
mittedly carried him to unjustifiable lengths.

The engagement of Earl Crowe to Lady
Peggie Primrose , Rosebery'a second 18-year-
old daughter , excites much surprise. Crowe
is p. widower of 41 , with two daughters , very
wealthy , having.Inherited with the earldom
nn Income of $200,000 from his uncle , while
Lady Peggy was bequeathed $10,000,000 by
her mother , Hannah Rothschilds , whom she
rather resembles. She Is bright , Intelligent ,

pearance , and showed great courage and
steadfastness in dealing with an embarrass
ing and humiliating situation when , as vice
roy of Ireland during Gladstone's last gov
ernment , his court at Dublin was rigorously
boycotted by the Irish gentry. Crowe had
no son by his first wife , a woman ot rare
beauty , so Rosebery's daughter may provide
an hPlr for their earldom. It has for some
tlmo been noted as n singular circumstance
4hat children of the Rothschilds who have
married out of the family generally prove
childless.
The rumored engagement of an Amer

ulation here. The leading society paper
refers to obstacles In the way of

the crux of a very curious complication.

Chen * Trophy.
I have seen the magnificent trophy pre
sented ns n prize by Arthur Walter , chief
proprietor of the Times , In the next Inter
parliamentary chesa competition between
the liritlsli Parliament and the United
States congress. It consists of n unique
set of chess men ot Persian design and
workmanship , nnd Is among the finest speci
mens of the carver's art over Keen In Lon
don. These beautiful figures , nil of the pur-
cat Ivory , are supctbly chased and mounted
on gold , the whole being enclosed In an ex
hibition case of tasteful design.
The Countess Essex ( Adcle Grant ) Is 111
with Influenza nnd the family are rather
anxious about her , as she is In delicate
health. It Is also rumored that another in
teresting event In the Marlborough family
Is on the tapis.
Lord and Lady Frances Hope are staying
nt the Savoy hotel. Lady May has got very
stout , but Is as attractive as ever. She has
been flattered by the announcement of the
engagement cf her husband's uncle , Lord
Edward Pelham Clinton , heir presumptive
to the duchy of Newcastle , so long aa Lady
May and the present duchess have no son.
Lord Edward will marry Lord Halifax's
daughter , young Hon. 'Mary ' Hughes , maid
of honor to the queen , It Is believed with the
object of continuing the succession of the
dukedom In his family , as he had no son by
his first wife. Her childless condition Is a
source of continual sorrow to Lady May
Yohe.
The duchess of Bedford signalized herself
this week by Inviting seventy girls , street
flower sellers from Covent Garden market , to
tea , and afterward to the Drury Lane , to a
pantomime. The duchees accompanied her
guests to the pit of the theater nnd seemed
to enjoy the performance as much as any of
them. Most of the London flower girls nro
Irish.
The other side of the ducal house spirit
Is exemplified In the case of the late duke
of Northumberland , a man absorbed In re
ligious movements. Immediately on the en
actment by Sir Walter Harcourt of in
creased d ath duties , the duke nsslgned.j
nlne-tenthst of his property , real and per
sonal , to the eldest son of Earl Percy , to
deprive the exchequer of the benefit of death
duties , which , it is estimated , has lost $500-
000 by the transaction. There Is ns yet no
legal means of dealing with such merely
colorable assignments , but they are now be
coming so common that Parliament will be
compelled to legislate against them.
PROVISIONS OF THE MEAT BILL
Amendment to lie Proponed to Send to
American. . I'neUliiK Center * u Corp *

( Copyright , 1S99 , by Associated Press. )
BERLIN , Feb. 18. The meat Inspection
bill passed by the Bundcsrnth February 1G
provides for an expert inspection inland be
fore and after slaughtering cattle , hogs ,
sheep , goats and horses , excepting what arc
killed for domestic consumption. This Is
regarded as only an agrarian compromise.
The bill contains many details of homo
Inspection. It not only excludes diseased
meat , but meat of insufficient nutritive
value. Foreign meats are subject to n sin
gle Inspection , but this does not forbid nn
additional Inspection 'by the separate states
for special reasons , such as suspicion that I
the meat has deteriorated since thn date |
of Its first Inspection.
In any case , however , foreign meats must
bo treated the same as domestic meats.
The Importation ot foreign meats Is re
stricted to certain ports and frontier sta
tions , In order to facilitate Inspection , the
result of which must bo made known In j
each case In a uniform manner.
The bill Is considered tt > provide the mini
mum meat Inspection required throughout
the empire , leaving to the ) separate states
the question of adding other features , be
sides what are contained in the Imperial
bill.
bill.The
The measure has now gone to the Reich
stag , where It Is certain to lead to stormy
debates. An amendment will be proposed
to the effect that Germany appoint a corps
of Its own meat Inspectors to go to Omaha ,
Chicago , Kansas City and other great meat
exporting centers , these Inspectors to ex
amine all meats designed for Germany , and
lusue certificates which will be accepted by
the homo government.
Regarding this proposition the centrist
organ , the Cologne Yolks Zoltung , says :
"Tho American packers cannot object to
such an arrangement , for such hygienic leg
islation will only be n copy of their present
legalization of German exports to the
United States by the American consuls. "
Tlio officials of the American embassy hert )
have made representations to the German
government In behalf of American petroleum
Interests. About a year ago the German
government announced that there was grave
danger of an American monopoly In Ger
many and that the government would facil
itate the Import of Russian petroleum , Slnco
then Prussian railroads have begun to me
Russian petroleum. Moreover , by u legis
lative measure the flash test has been raised
In Prussia and other German states , which
amounts to a virtual discrimination against
American oil. The embassy took exception
to these measures , but It was fruitless. The
German newspapers now assert tdat the
Standard Oil company and the Russian com
panies have come to an arrangement and
that the. government will shortly be Inter
pellated regarding the steps to be taken to
counteract the threatened revival of the mo
nopoly.
Emperor William has pardoned Henry
Ttcdmann of New Yoik , a German-Ameri
can who dfuorted from the Prussian army
In 1SSO and went to the United States , where
ho became naturalized and built up a pros
perous business In New York , Recently be
was arrested whllo on a visit to hU rela
tives In Germany and was court-martialed
and sentenced to several years' Imprison
ment , although tUe offense was committed

ROME , Feb. 18. ( New J'ork World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) It can be
stated on the best authority that Archbishop
Ireland has made a more profound imnrea-
slon than over on Pope Leo' XIII , who has
expressed to his entourage high admiration
of the stalwart archbtsuop of Be Paul. The
pope will now issue no oopycllral oulv a

the church In America. - " - v
Mgr. Merry del Vol. iba gbii pf. , tlie Span
ish ambassador , IB IrelauO'5 most determined
too here. Arohblshop Ireland has had an
Interview with SIg , Baccclll , the minister of
public Instruction , to whom he complained
of the scurrilous attacks made on him In
the weekly called the True American Cath
olic , expressing surprise , In view of the rlglfl
press censorship exercised in Homo , that an
American citizen should bo Insulted so
grossly with Impunity in the Italian capital.
Sic. Uaccelll expressed deep regret and
explained that the license enjoyed by the
paper mentioned was duo to Its publication
In a language not understood by the censor.
The minister promised to protect Archbishop
Ireland from such attacks. As a result the
paper has been suppressed and the anony
mous letters from blackmailers have stopped.
The archbishop was accompanied by Mgr.
O'Connell and the conversation was carried
on partly In Latlu , partly In Italian. The
minister of instruction , who was greatly Im
pressed by the American prelate , said after
the Interview that Ireland fully merits the
title of "Chrysotomus. " This was a pun ;
"Chrysotomus" Is the Latin name of Chry-
sotom , a famous early Greek father of the
church , famed for learning and eloquence.
It also means "Golden-Mouthed. " Archbishop -
bishop Ireland has a conspicuous quantity
of gold filling In his teeth.
The archbishop dined Wednesday with Mr.

that tlio earl of SHrafford has lost bis posi

atory obtains credence here that President
Faure , though hfr died at the Klysce palace ,
was taken 111 at 'the ' houseof Actress Sorel ,
where he hud spent the afternoon with her
private secretary , M. Le Gale. The fact that
the afternoon has not becu accurately ac

made aware of his illness until 8 o'clock no
doubt gave HieImsls for the rumor , coupled
with the president's known admiration for

as the best twallnblo way out of a grave
peril.
The roytllst and Uonapirtlst emlnsarles
are about , but t' oy find no substantial prom-
IEO of support. The military party Is afraid
to move. General ZurUndcn , who w-as ex
pected to lead . revolt , was ono of the first
officers to congratulate the new president.
Rochefort and other antl-Dreyfusltes , who
hoped for a turn of events which would
squelch the Dreyfus agitation , arc frantic
with rage. They say that M. Mellne , who
was supposed to be friendly to them , eold
their cause. He knew Faure had heart dis
ease and tuat his death might occur any day ,
i but instead of using that knowledge to QS-
! stst the nntl-Dreyfus movement , he in-
trlgued with Loubet to secure the laiter's
j j I election.
Mcllne'n Cnnillilney a Ulltul.
They assert that Mellne's candidacy was
h. mere blind and that T ) ubnt had been
working for" months for the event wlilch has
' ' now happened. The general result of the
' crisis so far has been an. emphatic victory
j for the republic. The chance of any BUCCCSS-
j ful coup d'etat is now greatly diminished ,
i but It would bo dangerous to prophesy for
the next few days , as Loubet personally is
an unknown force.
Thcro was some energetic but harmless
demonstration along the boulevards and side
streets leading from them tonight. Ono
crowd of anti-Semites marched chanting
Ironically , "Revision. " This demonstration
was duo to the fact that M. Loubet is re
garded by the populace as a friend to the 1
Droyfus cause.
Sixty persons scon hanging about the
grand boulevards this mornlnc in groupa
| were arrested. Including a man who was
] , distributing blue tickets among them. A
i list of 150 names was found on him , chiefly
j
of people living In the vlllette abattoir quar
ter of Paris. He confessed to being a member -
'
' ber of a royalist committee whoso chief ,
| | Count do Sabran , had given him orders to
make a manifestation.
At Versailles were walls plastered early
with the manifesto of the duke of Orleans ,
| ! Issued at San Remo yesterday , but the
i posters were promptly covered over by the
| I police. Two batteries of artillery were sta
tioned In the Chateau court yard. Six hun
dred senators and deputies went to Ver
sailles today from the Gare Lazaro by a
special train and about 200 went from the
Garo Montparnasse. Soldiers with fixed
bayonets lined the railway at intervals of
n few yards as an attempt to blow up the
national assembly train was feared. The
bridges were especially guarded.
Admission to the assembly hall at Ver
sailles was by ticket. To the general sur
prise M. Loubet presided In evening dress ,
as though certain of election. There were
twelve secretaries.
InelilciilM of tin- Voting ; .
The names of members wore called out In
voting by an officer. When the letter "O"
was called out a deputy shouted out : "Drey
fus , " Deroulde caused n ripple of excite
ment by mounting the tribune and declaring
that ho would not vote In an assembly of
Panamalsts. When the letter "Q" was
reached a volco called out : "Where Is Qucs-
ney do lieaurepalro ? " Versailles had the
air of a country town on a fair day. A
regular park of automobiles stood all day
before the chateau.
When the result of the balloting was
known , n race took place between the pigeon
post of the press and the telephone to the
pdtre. The telephone won , the pigeon taking
twelve inlntitcrt. H lost a mlnuto by taking
a wrong turning at the corner of Duo do
Gambetta.
President Loubet was received by a guard
of honor at the Lazare and escorted to
Luxembourg palace , Ho was flushed with
excitement and exclaimed to M. Legal ) , M.
Fauro's secretary , as bo entered the palace :
"I hope the Vepubllc Is saved.1'
Ills dubious expression was quickly
bruited about , making u bad Impression , but
BO far there Is no ground for apprehension.
More than CO.OOO people Hied past M.
Fauro'a body today.

seutlally n plain , middle-clans man , whose
mind was sharpened by practice at the bar
In the provincial town of Montellmnr , In
the south ot Franco. Ho is there most
popular and every ono at Montellmar counts
himself a personal friend of Loubot , who ,
as mayor , county councillor , deputy and
senator , always acted as tbo servant of the
public.
Obliging to his neighbors , ho was ns
accessible ns General Grant or Lincoln was
and not less pretending. His thlcK-sct llg-
ure , massive and somewhat Roman , though
with a homely head , indicates a steady ,
sturdy character , who can nail his colors
to the mast , but only lights when there Is
good occasion. Ho belonged , under the
empire , to the republican party , then callIng -
Ing itself liberal. In 1S70 ho threw himself
into the national defense current and stood
by Gambetta. He was elected county coun
cillor in 1S71 , then mayor nnd in 1STG was
sent to the Chamber of Deputies , where he
sat between M. Henry and .Martin , the his-
torlnn. Accepting Tillers' leadership , but
favoring the scheme to declare Grevy his
political heir and to reconcile Gambetta with
both , he tteemuel to bide his timu and was
Jn no hurry to push forward ,
'
McMnh'on s government gave hini prom
inence In dismissing him from the mayoralty
of Montellmar In 1877 , thus exasperating
the Drome republicans.
M. Loubet at the legislative elections In
1S77 was triumphantly returned. His subse
quent candidatures were not opposed nnd in
1883 he was returned by Drome as a senator.
In all these years he was a useful deputy ,
chiefly working on the committees and
speaking little. He was the Intimate friend
of Senator Cainot and Tlerard and in 1SSS
the latter appointed him minister of public
jworks , in which capacity ho carried out a
i scheme to convoy the sewage of Paris into
the St. Gcrmalne forest.
President SadI Carnet asked Loubet , In
1892 , to form a cabinet , but It fell under
the weight of the Panama scandal. In
which some members , albeit not Loubet ,
were Implicated. This administration was
marked by the admission of Adnlral Deri
vals' squadron to Constadt and the visit of
the court of Russia to the flagship Ma
genta.
M. Loubet was personally innocent of
Panamalum , but , llko Cnrnot and Drisson ,
he thought the sheltering of the accused
expedient. He has never slnco filled other
oifiro save the presidency of the senate , to
which he was first elected in 1S9C.
He belonged to M. Carnot's in
nermost circle and his wife was
I Mme. Carnot's best friend. The
| president is thoroughly domestic nnd dta-
likes showy society , lie likes to spend his
time nt homo and Is a great reader. Ho Is
not rich nor does he covet wealth nnd lion-
ors , Ho is strong In financial questions.
For many years he lived in an unpreten
tious house and ( lined off u white oil cloth
insteaed of a tablecloth. Ills hands , figura
tively speaking , are clean , but his beard
and clothes are untidy , thus contrasting
with the late president.
M. Lcubet , for having formerly , when
premier , sent Jointly with the foreign secre
tary , M. Rlbot , Admiral Gcrvals to Cron-
stadt , Is persona grata to Rut-sin.
For three years a speaker In the senate ,
ho lived In the palace ot the Petit Luxem
burg , In much tlio same style ns the presi
dent lives In AVushlngton.
He returned to Paris from Versailles this
afternoon by train. Ho Is the first presi
dent who has done BO. Ho ordered an open
j carriage and pair to nwnlt him nt the sta-
tlon Instead of a carrlngo and four. Ho
was well receded by tremendous crowds.
Ho arrived by daylight and had an escort
cf cuirassiers. The ontlro absence of
haughtiness In his demeanor wni favorably
I remarked. M. Loubct paid n visit to Mmo.
Fnuro on his way homo and saluted the
corpse of M. Fauro.
M. Loubet IB thn right man In the right
place.
The Importance of today's presidential
flection for the welfare of the French re
public and the prestige of Franco abroad
cannot be overestimated. The Issue taken
was whether the \a\\a \ should be paramount
or Infsponsiblo league Hie league of
Km French Fatherland In the hands of cleri
cal , monarchical and military agitators.
Nf\cr was a more inoustious conspiracy
engineered to pervert a whole nation's tunso
of Justice In order to perpetrate ) the greatest
miscarriage of law of thu century and shield
a few feloiiH from the consequences , of crime.
The more sensible Frenchmen feel , after M.
Loubcl's election , that a great weight hag
been taken off their conhclonco and hope that
a new leaf will bo turned over the worut
page of mo-Jern Fren.'h hlbtory.
M. Clcmcnceau wrote yesterday that It
v.'fis noccssary tdat the new president should
bo a men not connected with the Dreyfus
affair. Ho , therefore , would support M. Lou-
bet. Fairness , this , but the nationalists do
not want falrntws. They want Dreyfua , guilty
or Innocent , to remain perpetually at DovU'
Island. It was enough that M. Clernonccau
supported Loubet. The nationalist ! ) declared
teat the latter should not bo president or
they would make Paris too hot for honest
people to llvo In.
