LONDON. April 1. The first section of i
the Parllumcnlnry session terminated with
the adjournment for the Easter recess and
up to tow the ministers cannot boast ot any
remarkable achievement.
The clllof event was the readldng of the
London local government bill for the second
time but as the hill will resolve no atten
tion when It cull-is the committee stag' , the
government has no reasin for sclf-congratu-
lallnn. especially ns Us own supporters , ns
well as the oppcHltlon , are demanding Im
portant modification * , .
The bill of the secretary of state for the
coloillcs , Jrseph Chamberlain , to facilitate
the acquirement of dwellings by workmen ,
ilna fallen flat , ns ever ) thing depends on the
permission of the landlord.
The first matter ft Importance on the
i > mmnns reassembling will be the budget ,
which hns 'been ' fixed for Thursday -week.
The traiquls cf Salisbury , although offi
cially Inking a holiday on Uio Riviera , Is
keeping In close louch with the foreign
ofllte Tlipro 'has ' been a continual exchange
of telegrams on the developments In Samoa.
Meiaengers leave London every other day
with foreign omco dispatches for the premier
and minister of foreign affairs.
Olitlmlnlle Yle-nn of Samoa.
The Samoan 'blazo has ibecn the leading
political toplo of the week and the general
drift of the press comments has been that
the mailer will bo sellled amicably between
thu powers.
Tlho Spectator this 'week ' says-
"The Samoan Incident looks ugly , but wo
don't Ihlnk It will crme to anything. Under
other circumstances the bombardment would
have produced 'war ' , 'but ' , as mallei's slant ! ,
the thrco powers will arrive nt an agree-
incnULet us hope that they will divide the
islands for Uio peace of the world. Any
government Is better than the con
dominium. "
The Satin day Ilovlovv throws the entire
ihlamo upon the German agents nnd declares
the bombuidmunt will not iprove an un
mixed evil if lt finally convinces Germany
of the folly ot making Samoa the "scape-
goal" of Inlernotlonal jealousies In the South
Pacific.
Extracts from the diary of an English
woman at Manila have boon published In
the papers , here , They give a graphic de
scription of the situation at Manila , the oul-
break of hostilities and the feeling of panic
among the residents. They also tell of the
ware in the city in HIP middle of January ,
owing to the small rising Inside the -walls.
The people packed up their Jewels , money
and clothing , all ready to run. Under date
of January 8 nho describes the previous Sun
day nnd says :
by a llnlloon.
"A huge red balloon ascended from the
rdbel camp as a signal to attack and the
firing Increased steadily. A solicitor came
to tell us that the rebels had burned the
waterworks , nnd that we must fill every re-
optuclo wo had , as the supply -would stop
In ft few hours. The firing came nearer
nnd nearer. We eecmed to bo In the very
center ot a perfect storm of bullets all
around the house. At lost we heard that
the icbels wcro driven back and oaw the
homo troops return. Poor things , they were
, . , 'iead ( beat , Just tiampl.ng along , dragging ono
' JToot after the other and behind them was
\iho cad llttlo procession of wounded on
stretchers. "
On brunry 9 , referring to the skirmish
nt Malate , she wrote :
"When the flro was too hot for the rebels
they put up the white flag nd showed
the butt end of their rifles. The Americans
advanced nnd the rebels fired at them. This
horrible treachery was Justly rewarded. "
The French painter , Alme Nloholnus
Morot , Just returned from Abyssinia , tells
of bin treatment. He says that there Is ft
very wrong idea in France regarding the
Influence enjoyed by Frenchmen In Aujs-
slnla Ho claims Frenchmen are con
temptuously looked down upon , while the
British are feared nnd respected. Ho concludes
cludes-
"From 'what 'I ' have seen I am persuaded
the ISngllsh 'will soon become wasters of
AbyHalnlo , just as they have of Kg > pt. This
Is inevitable. "
Kreiioh ISnJoy Cock Flghta.
The IIrat of a series of cock fights was
given In the French capital at the Casino do
Paris on Thursday , with the view of ascer
taining if Hie sport will be popular. The
cocks were not furnished with artificial
spurn , The audience received the experiment
with great approval.
Holy week in Spain -was celebrated with
moro than usual religious splendor. At To
ledo and Seville there were moro visitors
than usual , Including a few Americans. At
Madrid the celebrations were numerously
attended , the queen regent , who is ultra *
Catholic , and the cabinet giving fresh proot
of tholr desire to conciliate the Vatican and
'tho ' prolntet ) wlio to successfully assisted
the BOVeminent in checking the Cnrllst In-
Irlguoa , Consequently the Madrid churches
yesterday were visited by thousand * , all
traffic was suspended , and all the women
wore mantillas. At Seville yesterday , while
n procession was carrying the famous image
of the virgin , dressed In the mcvt expensive
ellks anil velvets and wearing 150,000 peso-
tan worth of jiwels , the Imago caught fire
and was completely destroyed. Most of the
Jewels were recovered.

LONDON , April 1. ( New York World Cn-
blcgiam Special Telegram. ) The Earl and
Countess Warwick have floated themselves
as a limited liability joint stock company.
Thus Gilbert's fantastic Joke ot "Tho Duke
of Plazatoro , Limited , " has been realized
i by this remarkahlo couple. The Warwlcks'
I appeal for $1,050,000 in four per cent first
' mortgage debenture stock at par In $50
shares is secured by a specified first mort
gage to the trustees , who nro the Countess
Warwick's biother-ln-law , the duke of Suth
erland , and Sir Henry Durdott , K. C. B. , late
secretary of the London Stock exchange.
The properties conslts of n life Interest of
the carl of Warwick In various estates in
Warwickshire and Somersetshire , including
the historic Warwick castle , with Us
grounds , park and other appurtenances. The
Ilrst charge Is one of $3o,000 a year upon
the Countess Warwick's Essex , Leicester
shire nnd Cheshire estates , together with
policies of Insurance on the life of the earl
for JC50.000 nnd on the countess for J4C3.000 ,
which are to secure repayment of the cap
ital sum.
Depression in agriculture resultant from
the decrease in rents is the cause of this
unique development In company promoting.
When the countess married the earl her
Income from landed eatates was estimated
nt $160,000 per annum , 'but ' the most of her
estates are situated In Essax , where the
agricultural depression has fallen the heav
iest throughout England , so her Income
now is reduced to $35,000. The earl has not
suffered so badly , because so much of his
property is in mines , quarries nnd like In
dustrial works and his not Income stands
nt $75,000 , as compared with $110,000 when
ho was married. They have lived in the
costliest style and In order to make both
ends meet the earl went into a Cclo promoting
meting company with Hooley , with disas
trous results. The capital asked for vvns
subscribed twice over In a day , as the se
curity offered ihy the Insurance policies to
come from the estates is regarded as satis
factory. The countess Intends to continue
to realdo nt Warwick castle and will assist
the earl in managing the estates for the
company , She Is understood to have con
sented with reluctance to the floatation and
only otter expert reports had been furnished
her , showing that the company was destined
to fulfill the promises held out in the pros
pectus.

OTIS.
War Ulllee In Gratified.
WASHINGTON , April 1. War department
ofllclnls are very much gratified at the con
ditions existing in the Philippines. It Is
deduced from the dispatches received from
General Otis that there Is little left of the
army of Agulnaldo and that his troops do
not want to face the American soldiers.
It Is supposed Ihnt scouting parties of
General Otis' army have been moving nbout
from different points on the railroad line
and moio especially from Mnlolos and have
encountered the few bands of natives which
Otis says retire upon the approach of the
American troops.
While the officials hero would be glad to
have Information ot the now campaign of
General Otis , they are at present without
such knowledge and he hns not been asked
to communlcuto his plans to the depart
ment. The utmost confidence Is expressed
In his ability to handle the situation iind
no attempt will bo made to Influence him
from Washington. It Is believed that Gen
eral Otis desires to ascertain now just where
the forces of the Insurgents are located nnd
In what number.
Iteheln Jlnj I lc Under Cover.
It Is thought very probable that In the advance -
vance that has been made from Manila to
Malolos the Insurgents have not all retreated
along the railroad track , but have gone off
Into the rough country to the right of the
railroad and may now bo lying In wait to
sot upon small bodies of American troojie , or
pcrha-ps again destroy some of the bridges
on the railroad and for a tlmo cut off com
munication between the advance of the
American army from ( Manila.
General Otis will take measures to pre
vent anything of the kind , and no noubt
will ascertain the location and number of
the Ineurgents before making further ad
vance In pursuit of Agulnaldo and his flee
ing army. It is evident that while General
Otis reports ever ) thing "all qulol" ho
has had a part of his army active In recon-
nolterlng the country along the line of rail
road by which ho has been advancing.

The bishop of London inrs : "The change

tending to still further secularize the spirit

.Marconi . in an Interview stated : "The
cost of the method of transmission is In-
flnlleslmlcal compared with cabling. The
whole installation by which these demon
strations were carried out ccet only about
$1,250. With multiplication the expenditure
is greatly reduced. "
"What will to your next experiments ? "
"I hope between New Haven nnd Dieppe ,
a distance of sixty-four miles. I only re
quire authorization from the French gov-
cinmcnt to set up my stations. Fiench gov
ernment experts have been deeply interested
in th"so experiments and are preparing an
exhaustive report on the possibilities of my

"Is wireless communication across the At
lantic practicable ? "
"Speaking broadly I believe so , but I have
not yet made calculations with that In view.
1 cx-pect It would require a tower on the
coast ot the west of Ireland and the United
States 1,000 to 1,500 feet lilgh , with certain
lengths ofwlro netting to catch the current
and make the circuit. I don't positively
alllrm that this demonstration is possible ,
as there nro many difficulties , but when
fcorlously tackled no doubt they could IDO
overcome. The outlay would 'bo ' heavy , ns
the erection of the towers required would
bo costly , but much loss than a cable at the
outside estimate , As I go on impiovlng my
appliances I i educe the cost and by the time
tiansatlantlo transmission Is seriously in
hand the outlay doubtless would bo greatly
reduced. Hut all that la n matter for th *
future. I am going to America In the
' autumn , when pcihaps the question will ns-
I sumo a practical shape. "
i Lord Kelvin , Interviewed , said : "I am not
I at all surprised at the results attained by
'
Marconi. I bcllovo wireless telegraphy has
already become a practical success and Its
future la Immense. For over-sea communi
cation It has many advantages 'which will
make It Invaluable. "
Prof. Sylvamm Thompson , England'b most
distinguished electrician , says : "Marconi's
demonstration is the natural development of
the principles propounded by Hertz and
Oliver Lodge. Jt will 'be ' possible to estab
lish direct communication across space ,
either between England , the Capo nnd India
| or even Australia. It is far cheaper than
by the BUbmarlnn cable. Nine years ugo I
offered to establish telegraphic communica
tion with the Capo provided $50,000 was
forthcoming , but the schema was treated as
vlslonar ) Ileforo long I bcllovo you will
sen It realized. "
Marconi's achievement has excited Intense
Interest In all classes hero and when Parlia
ment reai'sero'bles ' the ministry will bo quea-
tloned why It linn not given moro generous
assistance to the Inventor in demonstrating
the value of this system.
'Tcsla's criticisms of Marconi's demonstra
tions are causing controversy among elec
tricians. Prof Fleming , who was present at
the demonstrations today at South Forelan ,
said "Tesla biijs that the Introduction of
an Incluetho cell any \\lu-iu between the
terminals would destroy ( communication ,
which would prove a vital defect. Well , as
an answer to that allegation , I may point out
that In the next room to this there is a
large induction cell in connection with a
i.OOO-cnndla power light of this lighthouse ,
and that the cell has not had I ho slightest
effect on Marconi's instrument "

PARIS , April 1. { New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram ) Lolo Fuller's
sight has long been seriously thientened by
the piercing rays ot colored lights flashed
on her in her herpenllnc dance. This ter
rible peril of blindness has been before her
for jears , but hho has elected to stand by
her art at all costs. Various devices hnvo
been tried to protect her fjcs , but none
have answered. When hho leaves the stage
she cannot see for several minutes and only
preserves her sight by lying for houis dally
in a darkuned room. She is now undorgo-
JDK treitmcnt at the ' 'amis ot Dr. Cowards ,
the mystical healer , who has woilu'd what
appears to be almost miracles among his
blind , deaf , dumb , asthmatic , consumptive
and generally aflllctcd clientele. Ills treat
ment is given publicly.
Lolo said today : "Yesterday was iny second
end visit. I hope Dr. Cowards will save
my tight. There was a young man there
for the second time today who had lost
his voice. I was told by a woman accom
panying him that lie Ind not uttered a word
for years. Ho spoUc , or rather whispered , n
few sounds after the ( list \lblt and jos-
lerday I heard him thank the doctor In low ,
distinct tones. Whrn my turn came I al
lowed my eyelids to bo stiokcd , temples
nnd head to bo manipulated and when I left
the healer's hands I felt just as If I had
been electrified. I am greatly hoping I
shall bo cured. I have tried every great
oculist In Europe without getting any hope
that I could continue my work nnd sec. "
Cleo do Merodo just had a narrow escapu
from becoming the duchess of Manchester
The young duke , when recently in Paris ,
was intioduced to Cleo nnd forthwith be
came madly Infatuated with her and among
other jewels presented her with n bracelet
containing n laigp iiiby surrounded by
costly diamonds of the purest water. Ho got
the Jewels at Ouy et Plls , Hue do la 1'alx ,
who opened a etedlt account for him , with
$3GOO for this little memento. Presently
ho offered to mairy Cleo , who bashfully ac
cepted him nnd he foithwlth went elf to
the malrle of the unondlsement where Cleo
lives to arrange the formalities of the cere
mony. His name got whispered about and
a rumor of hln Intentions reached the Brit
ish embassy , with the result that his mother ,
the Duchess Consuclo , huirlcd to Paris and
knocked the whole scheme promptly on the
he-ail.
Cleo , wrathful at this trifling with her
young affections , took the duke's bracelet
and offered to resell It to M. Guy , who had
already been notified by the duchcBS that she
would not bo responsible for the duke's debt
nor glvo him money to discharge it. Ouy ,
therefore , froze to the biacclet , believing ho
had been tricked , and Cleo Instituted suit
for Its recovery , which , if tried , would have
brought out the whole circumstances. The
duko's friends , however , intervened oppor
tunely nnd gave ths Jeweler $2,000. Ouy
then handed over the bracelet to Cleo nnd
the cscupiido ended. The duke has now
gone to London , nut It Is certain he will be
heard from again , as ho throws himself

reckless of conseuqcnrcs. Hlu grandmother ,

HEKLIN , April 1. The correspondent hereof
of the Associated Press loams authorita
tive ! } that after tha acting minister ot
foreign affairs , Ilaron von Hlchthoff , had
been closeted with the cmporor today the
United States ambassador , Andrew D. White ,
passed an hour at the foreign oillce.
It is generally believed that an under
standing has been reached which Is likely
to bring nbout un amicable and satisfactory
solution of the whole Samoan difficulty.
U Is understood that , \\lilln the United
States and ( Jrcat Britain hnvo steadily de
clined to accept Germany's two previous
proposals , a new one has been accepted by
all three powers.
A special dispatch from Apia , Samoa , says
the only damage done to German property
during Uio bombardment iwas a ralsshot
which tooko some crockery In the Gorman
consulate and the destruction of a house be
longing to a German planter.
WELLINGTON , N. Z. , April 1. Relieving
the impcilnl uutLorlties wltfit ncid sol'tleil
communication with Samoa , the biemler , Jt ,
J. Sodden , has cabled that the steamer
Tutanekal will hold Itself in roadlneas nt
Auckland to carry dispatches and has of-
fcied to carry a battalion of troops and
volunteers to assist the British war ships.
The volunteers who are encamped nt Auck
land for the Easter maneuvers promptly
offered their services.
According to n high German official the
"American explanations have been found
satisfactory" and the accepted proposal
"consists in bending a commission of in
vestigation to Samoa. "
WASHINGTON , April 1. The new pro
posal efonea to In the Berlin dispatch as
having been accepted by all the three gov-
cinmcntH Is that for a joint high commis
sion , 'that ' being tlio only proposition now
pending.
Ambassador White's call on the Gormnii
foreign office was doubtless to express Uio
favorable view which this government tnkrn
of the proposed settlement The BrltiBft
government had not signified Its formal ac
ceptance up to noon today , although in the
abaonco of Lord Salisbury the acting officials
of the foreign office take Rurh a. fnvor.ablo
vlow that nrltls.li acceptance Ib considered
assured. The British characteristic of ma
ture deliberation is asserting Itself , however -
over , and for this reason It Is thought that
final acceptance may bo deferred for homo
days.
Slow I'nc-c of Diplomacy.
Itwas remarked today in n high diplo
matic quarter that there was no nbed ol
hurry In the matter now that the three gov
ernments had shown a disposition to got to
gether , .IH It would take almost three months
for the high commission to assemble in
Samoa and begin work. This time , It was
pointed out , would bo required for the he-
lectlon cf the men , the issuance of their
Instructions , the conferences nnd study given
to the question and the long Journojs to
Samoa.
The American government has made no
explanations to Germany regarding any fea
ture of the Samoan alfnlr , nave to set forth
the American position. This government
linn not thought Its action required any ex
planation further than to express regret that
there had been n collision at Samoa At tha
same time the opinion Is expressed that them
would have been no hostile action had not

IIEHLIN , Api II 1. The latest dovolop-
mentx In the Satncn mudillu have claimed the
larger part of public attention this week
The government Is most reticent , to the
great dissatisfaction of the press , and in
the absence of clear Information from
headquarters regarding the attitude of the
government editorial comment Is varied and
contradictory. The agrarian organs attack
the minister of foreign affairs , Raron von
Buclow , and the government for yielding
'overmuch to the United Slates ambassador ,
Andrew I ) . White , and to the authorities at
Washington
The nationalistic Doutsch Zcltung nays
"Many Germans are disappointed with
the von Buclow riglmu and wish Marschall
