LONDON, May IS. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Pie:lsely the
lime pathetic same Is being played over
Lord Salisbury's health as over that of
Queen Victoria for six months before the
nd. Despite official denials the World s
special cable before Lord Salisbury's re
turn from Hcaulleu was amply corroborate!
by his appearance In the House of Iords
Tuesday night The spectacle shocked
everyone. He was hardly able to rise from
his scat and his speech was entirely Inau
dible In the press nailery. The newspapers
had to get tho text from the otnclal re
porter, who sits near the ministerial
speakers. Tbo premier's manner was so
Unless, his face so gray and bis gestures
and voice were so feeble that Lord Rose
bery, sitting opposite, turned to the carl
of Camperdown and said In an agitated
voice; "He Is terribly ill. It Is dangerous
for him to attempt to speak. He will break
down."
However, he did not break down, but hl&
enunciation, always so clear cut, was
ominously muffled, and his voice, usually so
penetrating and resonant, died away on his
lips.
Everyone Is talking about the pathetic
figure becut, and Is wondering how the
press came to say that he returned from
Hcaulleu with vigor fully restored. Owing
to tho comment caused by the ttatemcnt
issued Friday that he was much better
and was going to Hatfield to recruit, he
appeared In the house in the afternoon,
but he looked no better. At his audience
with the king on Saturday It Is under
stood that the king plainly hinted that be
should not sacrifice himself to duty, but
should seek tho rest bo plainly needed, but
Lord Salisbury did not take the hint.
It Is said that he has a morbid fear that
his retirement might lead (o Chamberlain
ousting llslfour nnd seizing tho leadership
of the unionist party, nut, according to the
latest rumors, it has been agreed among
tho unionist leaders that Balfour shall suc
ceed Salisbury as premier, combining that
efBca with the Srst lordihlp of the treasury,
which he at present holds and which usually
goes with It. By this means reconstruction,
which the cabinet greatly dreads owing to
tho feuds and jealousies tprlnglng up In
the party, would be obviated.
Unless Salisbury Improves, which at hla
age and In his condition of debility Is ex
tremely unlikely, his resignation may be
expected any day.
TRUTH IS TOLSTOI'S CREED

PARIS, May IS. (New York World Cable
Kram Special Telegram.) Count Leo Tol
stoi has replied to the writ of cx
conlmunlcatlon launched at him by the
holy synod of the Greek orthodox church.
He starts out by quoting Coleridge: "He
who begins by loving Christianity better
than truth wlll proceed by loving his own
sect or church better than Christianity, and
end In loving himself better than all."
That, Tolstoi contends, Is exactly the
position of his assailants. He himself has
pursued the contrary course.
"I began by loving tho orthodox church
rooro than myself. Then I loved Chris
tianity more than the orthodox church.
Now I lovo truth rooro than all else."
Ho says the writ of excommunication
Is Illegal, arbitrary, unjustifiable, menda
cious, libelous and calculated to .promote
tvll sentiments and unworthy deeds, that
Its Issue has already bo stirred tho hatred
sf bigots that he Is dally threatened with
issasstnattcn.
"I havo renounced the church that calls
ltsolf orthodox," he continues, "because I
wished to serve God. I followed every pre
cept of tho church and am now couvlnced
that Its teaching Is theoretically an astute
nd noxious lie, and practically a mixture
of gross superstition and witchcraft. That
Is why I Inserted a request In my will
that no priest should be allowed to approach
my body.
"Yes, It I3 true I deny an Incomprehensi
ble trinity, and the fable regarding the fall
of man, which Is absurd In our days. It Is
true, I deny the sacrilegious story of a
God born of a virgin to redeem the human
race. Hut God spirit, God love, God the
solo principle of all things, I do not deny.
I believe In eternal life and I believe that
man Is rewarded according to his deeds
here and everywhere, now and forever.
"It Is sr.ld 1 deny all the sacraments.
That Is perfectly correct. Tho marriage of
Jlvorced persons seems to me In formal
contradiction with evangelic teaching.
Periodical forgiveness of sins encourages
Immorality.
"Tho teaching of Christ Is disfigured,
(raniformed into grossest sorcery, ablu
tion, uuctlon, movements of the body. In
cantations, deglutition of plies of bread,
all of which has nothing to do with that
teaching which only commands men to love
ono another, not to render bad for evil, not
to Judge others, not to kill. Yet. those who
make a buslnesaof Ilea declare in their books,
their newspnpers nnd their catechisms that
Christ never forbade swearlns. taking tho
oath, that He never forbade murder, capi
tal punishment and war, and that the
doctrine of non-reslstanca to evil Is an
invention, a satanlc ruse of the enemies of
Christ.
"They behave like the brigand who mur
dered a whole family of Ave or six persons
In order to steal an old clock and forty
kopeks. If Christ could come back He
would sweep them out with their tnitru
mcnts of witchcraft.
"I believe that the will of God was never
so clearly, so precisely explained as In
the doctrine of the man Christ, but on
cannot regard Christ as God and otter
prayers to Him without committing the
greatest sacrilege. If another doctrine were
to-arlie that satisfied me better I should not
hesitate to adopt It, for nothing matters
to God but truth."
PAPA ZIMMERMAN IS SHY

(Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, May IS. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Eugeno
Zimmerman sailed for New lork Wednes
day on the Teutonic, but the affairs of his
son-in-law, the duke of Manchester, re
main unsettled. The duke was quite ready
to play the prodigal son, but Papa Zim
merman showed no disposition to assume
the role of the prodigal's father.
The duke's creditors aro furious at the
Intensely economical spirit which papa dis
played In examining their claims. They
assented to postponement in the expecta
tion of being paid In full, but Mr. Zimmer
man has notified them that he will pay
only 12 shillings on the pound. His close
f.stedness has been a revelation, not only
to them, but also to the duke. He has
thus far made no settlement whatever upon
his daughter, but has doled out compara
tlvely trifling gifts, nnd never except under
pressure. It Is true that under tho Influ
ence of the festive Christmas season he
gave the duke a check for 110.000 and pre
sented tho duchess with $150,000 In bonds,
which were deposited in her name, as she
supposed, with a safe deposit company,
and the key of the strong box given to the
duke, but when the duke proposed to draw
out these bonds to settle up his affairs
and opened the strong box he found, to his
disappointment, that Mr. Zimmerman had
provided against this contingency by first
depositing the bonds In his own and tb
duchess' name, to be withdrawn by cither,
and later, to avoid any risks, had actuall
withdrawn the bonds himself, so that when
the duke was asked whether his father-in-law
had not deposited J 160,000 to his credit
there was an excuse for indignation on his
denial.
Since their arrival home, even while the
duke's millionaire father-in-law was stay
ing with them, lnstead'of being able to cut
a dash In society, they have been subjected
to many mortifications owing to their lack
of the needful.
During his stay at Tandaragee castle Mr.
Zimmerman was busily engaged In Investi
gating the value of the duke's estate and
the possibilities of sinking money In It
with the certainty of getting it back with
Interest. He was especially interested in
the statement that both coal and Iron could
be won from It In paying quantities. He
had experts examine the coal and Iron
deposits, and their report not being en
couraging, he concluded that It would be
unsafe to Invest monv on that security.
He was prepared to advance the money If
a safo equivalent was In sight. Manchester
is not being spoiled by his father-in-law.
Then, when the duke's mother inherited
her brother's fortune. Papa Zimmerman
discovered fresh reason for not lavishing
money on his only daughter and her hus
band. Ho proposed that the duke's mother
should put up a dollar for each dollar be
put up for the duchess, but she, while quite
ready to make provision for the duke In
her will, did not recognize that her
brother's money was Intended to endow Mr.
Zlmmermnn's daughter, seeing that he could
afford to provide for the young couple him
self far more easily than she.
The duke's principal source of Income
since he came of age has been $4,000 a
year, allowed by hla grandmother, - the
duchess of Devonshire. This allowance
was stopped on his marriage, but as he was
able to show hW grandmother that he
needed It more than ever now, owlnc to
the coyness of Papa Zimmerman In money
matters, he has been allowed to continue
drawing it. On the return of the duchess
of Devonshire a family council was held
and Mr. Zimmerman was Informed of tbo
necessity of making adequate provision for
the duchess If she was to take her right
ful placo In society, so desirable for herself
and so necessary for the expected heir, but
nothing came of it. Mr. Zimmerman has
now gone away, promising that when the
duke's creditors agree to settle on the
terms he proposed ho will return and enter
Into fresh negotiations with the duchess of
Devonshire and any other member of the
duke's family who proposed to combine with
him In setting the young couple financially
on their feet.
Tho duke and duchess seem to be bear
ing with this sad disillusionment with ex
emplary patience, though they are com
pellcd to live In a small way pending the
advent of Papa Zimmerman's expected
generous fit.
MAJOR TAYLOR'S WATERLOO
Duaky American Wrein nt Detent, but
Admit (lie Frenchman l
Too Speed.
(Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS. May IS. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Major
Taylor, or the "Dying negro," as he has
been dubbed here, met his Waterloo on
Thursday, when Jacquelln, the French bi
cycle champion, defeated him In two heats,
tbout 1,333 and 1,000 yards respectively.
Until then the American darky had swept
everything before him In France, Relglun
nnd Germany.
During the last two months he bad be
come such a wonderful favorite that ac
commodations were nowhere sufficient for
the crowde who thronged to see him race.
At Bordeaux recently, when, owing to the
failure of electricity, Taylor could not
race, his partisans accused his rivals of
cutting tho wires and Invaded the track
and fought and demolished everything. An
entire battalion of hussars had finally to
bo sent to help tho police subdue the mob.
Thursday the Pare des Princes velodrome
was far too small for the crowd, although
the prices were doubled. People clung 'to
lamp posts and crowded roots outside.
There was not an Inch of space anywhere.
In the first heat Major Taylor twice
passed the famous Jacquelln and lost the 1
race by half of the front wheel. In the
second beat Taylor led till the last home
stretch, when Jacquelln suddenly shot
ahead. But Taylor, too, made a dash,
caught up with his adversary and took the
lead by fully three lengths. The en
thusiasm of his partisans at this point was
fierce, but the French champion steadily
crept up and finally passed Taylor, ten
yards from the line, winning by half a
length.
Then ensued a scene the like of which
was never before witnessed here. The
crowd rushed upon the track and seized
Jacquelln and bore hlra off In triumph.
Poor Taylor actually cried, but he
quickly recovered composure and was
among the first to congratulate Jacquelln.
To the World correspondent Taylor said:
"I did my best; ray legs simply could not
move faster. This Frenchman Is a terror."
Much money changed hands on the result.
Harry Thaw of Pittsburg had $:o,000 on
Taylor, Henry Rldgeway $1,500, W. K. Vau
dcrbllt, Jr., $3,000 and William Moore double
that. Senator Clark would not say how
much he lost, but be confessed It was con
siderable. Several Americans, however, realized on
the French champion. Among them were
Dr Byckcrt's young bride, who cleared over
$10,000, and Countess Castellane, who made
$1,000, while Artist Dannat made about the
tame.

ALBANY. N. Y., May IS. The great
street railway strike, lasting twelve days.
requiring the presence of 3,000 members of
tho National guard in the city, costing the
lives -of two prominent merchants and en
tailing an expense to the county of Albany
of over $33,000, is amicably settled and If
the agreements are kept there will be no
trouble for three years at least. The omi
nous calm which followed the killing of
two Inoffensive citizens two days ago, by
National guardsmen defending property.
was succeeded this evening by hysterical
enthusiasm when public bell towers and
city newspapers proclaimed that the twelve-
day strike on the street railways of Ave cit
ies bad been settled. Flags flying from
public and private buildings, horses and
wagons decorated with bunting and the
national emblem, citizens carrying small
flags in their hands and enthusiastic youths
and otherwise dignified citizens chasing
after the cars, marked some of the earlier
scenes of the afternoon.
The repair wagons left the traction com
pany's barn with Us old union crew aboard,
and going along Pearl street, received an
ovation. It was decorated with flags and
escorted by a Joyful crowd, very different
from tho angry mob that had followed the
cars the last few days. Tonight several of
the lines are running In this city and all
of them in the other cities, and by noon
tomorrow all the lines will be running on
schedule time with union men.
The first Information of the settlement
of the strike came at an early hour this
morning from Troy, where it was an
nounced that the Troy division of the Rail
way Employes' union had agreed to sign
the agreement presented at Inst night's
conference. Following this notification the
other divisions met In Albany, and after
they had signed the Traction company
officers signed It, and at 11 o'clock this
morning It became binding.
Concessions (or Unch,
As la usual, both sides to the contro
versy , clalm,,th6credlt. From, the lace
or tne agreement it is evident mat me
striking men won these concessions:
Increasing night men and extra men's
wages to 20 cents per hour.
Granting men the right of appeal from
a decision of an inspector or the super
intendent to the Traction company's ex
ecutive board.
Providing that the inspectors boarding
a car need not be rung unless they present
an equivalent to a fare.
The road to pay auy employe for lost
time when suspended and not found guilty.
Employes permitted to ride on their own
divisions free by showing their badge.
No discrimination against strikers who
have not committed violence.
The Traction people obtained these con
cessions: That men who were on strlko and com
mitted violence shall not be reinstated
unless proven guiltless.
That the road may hire or discharge any
man without referfnee to his affiliation
or otherwise with a union.
That no proposition to strike shall be
acted upon until forty-eight hours have
elapsed from the time of notification, and
that If a strike Is ordered it shall not take
effect until six days.
The withdrawal of the Guards was as
expeditious as was their coming here.
When General Oliver was informed of the
agreement orders were Issued to the Sec
ond and Ninth regiments to prepare to
leave Immediately, and they had taken In
their details and broken camp before Gen
eral Oliver received word from Sheriff
McCreery that the troops were not needed
any more. The Second regiment was ready
to go to Troy by 4 o'clock and at 7 o'clock
tonight the Ninth of New York had also
left the city. The Tenth battalion was
ordered to disperse about 7 o'clock, as
was also tho Third SJgnal corps, and the
only armed force here Is tho Twenty-third
of Brooklyn, which will leave tomorrow
morning. The nonunion men wll be sent
back to the cities whence they came.
The funerals of the two victims of the
soldiers' bullets will take place tomorrow
afternoon.

LONDON. May IS. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) William Wal
dorf Aftor Is organizing a big concert with
Italian opera stars for Ascot week. The
Invitations have already been prepared.
Mr. Astor's plan is to start in with enter
taining as though nothing bad happened
and the painful Berkeley Milne Incident of
last year had been utterly forgotten. Last
week he had quite a select week-end party
at Cliveden, when the duke and duchess
of Wellington, Mrs. Percy Milford. Mrs.
Ronalds and the countess ot Ancaster wero
among tho guests. He has taken a box
for the opera and wlll.'.nd it, according to
his wont, to tho countess of Selkirk and
other dowagers, who take out his daughter.
Mr. Astor does not care for opera him
self, nor Indeed for music of any kind.
When star singers and instrumentalists
perform at his house he generally stays
outside, the music room. He has not many
ot the qualities possessed by an ideal host,
but he has unlimited command of money
and-that cove-; teoItlf4-??'nfff&elal-tlii:r'
Since the split with the Buccleugh family,
when he so unceremoniously remored Lord
Frederick Hamilton from the editorship of
the Pall Mall Magazine, he has not found
tho very exclusive set, of which the
Buccleughs, Hamlltons and Churchllls are
the center, quite bo willing to patronize
him. Ho has many acquaintances, but no
one has over been able to discover that he
has a single friend. His manner Is brusque
and domineering to all alike and guests
have to rely on their own resources for
their amusement when staying at Cliveden.
Still, no real obstacle Is likely to Impede
his rehabilitation, especially at his daughter
and son are not only liked, but both are
big matrimonial partis on whom even the
most exclusive match-making mammas may
be disposed to look with favor.

SAN FRANCISCO, May IS. Fortunately
Mrs. McKlnley's condition permits the pres
ident to attend the launching of the battle
ship Ohio from the yards of the Union Iron
works. To witness the launching of this
ship, named In honor of his native state,
was the real objeu of the president's long
trip across the continent and was the event
which has attracted to the Pacific coatt the
governors of three states, the Ohio con
gressional delegation, several United States
senators and many other notable and dis
tinguished people.
Dramatic and picturesque ns was the
sight of 14,000 tons of steel sliding Into the
full-brcasted tide of San Francisco bay. It
was not so splendid and magnificent as the
great naval pageant which accompanied,
nor as profoundly Impressive as the greet
ing extended by the 4,500 employes of tho
ship firm. With the threat of a great strike
mpendlng, the president's words to tho
worklnginen today have an added Flgnlfi
canco and his reference to the expansion
and other national questions make bis
speech, probably tho last he will deliver
on his present tour In every respect a
notable one.
When the president left the sick room of
his wife this morning, every arrangement
had been made to notify on the Instant of
any change for the worse In her condition.
The preparations assured him there was no
Indication of a setback, but at his request,
telegraphic connections were made at the
wharf and at tho shipyard and save for the
time he was on the water he was not for
a minute away from the connection with ths
Scott residence.
Slocum Tnlin lllm Over.
He was dlrven to the wharf In a closed
carrlago and escorted by a squad of
mounted police. The cabinet and other dis
tinguished guests wero already aboard tbo
transport tug Slocum, which was to con
vey tho party to tho Union Iron works, two
miles up the bay, when he arrived. Tho
president's flag, an eagle and shield, on a
blue,Jd,;twft,.UylCK from, thamalnaod
me union jacK was ax me oows. ne
stepped smilingly up the gangway to the
accompaniment of the cheers ot thousands
who blackened the neighboring piers. Then
began the sail over tho shining waters ot
the bay. It proved to be a triumphal Jour
ney, the like of which not being seen In
this country since Admiral Dewey returned
from the Philippines and sailed up the'Hud
son on the Olympla. Every craft in the
harbor was decked out in gayest attire
and the city in the background was a
perfect mound of waving flags. Every
wharf on the sea front swarmed with peo
ple. Up near the shipyards the grim
warships of the Pacific squadron were
swinging at anchor with streams of signal
flags extending tore and aft over the peaks
from prow to taflrail.
Off near Goat Island lay the transport
Sheridan, trcvel-stalncd from a long Jour
ney across the Pacific. It bad Just arrived
from the Philippines and still had aboard
the Forty-second and Forty-Bixth volunteer
Infantry, enroute home. Tho president
saw the ship at once and requested that
tho course of the Slocum should be changed
to allow him to pass near. As the Slocum
approached the big transport there was a
scene ot almost frenzied enthusiasm aboard.
The soldiers, all in their service uniforms,
rushed to the side and rent the air with
cheer upon cheer at sight of the president
of the United States, come to welcome them
homo. The band on the atterdeck Btruck
up "The Star-Spangled Banner." The sol
diers climbed the rails and ratlins and
almost drowned tho music with their
shouts. They swung their bats and acted
llko mad men. Several of tbem got out
their regimental flags and waved them fran
tically to and fro from the bridge. The
ensign at the stern was dipped again and
again. The salute was answered by the
Slocum.
Volunteer' Ovntlnn Overcome lllm.
The president was plainly moved by the
remarkable demonstration. He stood on the
lower deck uncovered, bowing and smiling
and waving his handkerchief until the
shouting died away In the distance.
This welcomo from the soldiers was only
tho beginning. Aa the Slocum drew near
the line of steel-clad thunderers ot the deep,
with Jackles lining tho rails, the marine
guards drawn up aft and officers In full
uniform on the bridges, a puff ot smoke
burst like a white balloou from the port
quarter ot the battleship Wisconsin, Ad
mlral Casey's flagship. Boom came the re
port. It was the first gun from the ships,
the first of twenty-one. Each of the war
ships, the big, savage battleship Iowa, the
long, lean cruisers Philadelphia and Adarao,
the little torpedo boat Farragut and the
revenue cutter McCuIlougn, which was with
Dewey at Manila, turned loose their secon
dary batteries as the Slocum steamed slowly
by.
Opposite the McCulloch the president
witnessed a smart exhibition ot a Jack tar's
skill. A flag at Its peak fouled and In a
twinkling a nimble sailor ran aloft and
loosened It. Among the big warships the
little tug made Its way through the fleet
of ships, yachts, tugs and every variety of
water craft Jammed about the front of the
shipyard. Each was black with cheering
people and there was hardly one of them
which did not have a talutlng gun or some
snrt to odd Kb voice to the roar of that
which greeted the president from the dense
crowd of workmen gathered upon the pier.
Ashore to the right was a stand covered
with acres ot people and beyond that a hill
alive with them. Up tho pier a broad aisle
ot white muslin ran through the workmen
packed on either side up this path, Up this
pathway strewn with flags and banners, one
of them bearing the Inscription, "The Ore
gon His Made Her Record; Watch the
Ohio," the president and his party moved
to a stand where the representatives ot the
4,600 employes of the Union Iron works In
a neat speech, In which he asked a heartfelt
blessing upon the bead of the president and
expressed tander sympathy for bis suffering

BAD BLOOD OVER FIGARO
Pre Controvemy." Mlr Parlnlsn
Animosity xaoiiasn.uiu mo
Dreyfu Affair.
(Copyright. 19M, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, May 18. (New York World Cable
gramSpecial Telegram.) Paris now has
a Figaro affair which threatens to cause
as much bad blood as did the Dreyfus af
fair.
Editor do Rodays, who was recently
wounded by Count Castellane In a duel,
has been compelled by the stockholders to
resign. But Perlvler, the. business man
ager, who, like De Rodays, has a legal
hold on his position on a lite tenure clause
In Founder Vlllemcssant's will, refuses to
be forced out. Instead he li suing cer
tain heavy stockholders on a charge of
conspiracy. A press controversy Involv
ing most of the newspapers of France Is
raging over the situation. Some of the
papers friendly to the De Rodays-Perlvler
management divulge documents purporting
to prove that certain foreigners, Including
a wealthy American and the Dresdener
bank, have been secretly buying up all
the obtainable Figaro sbarei under cover
of "strew men" and now hold a bare ma
jority. Tho purpose Is said to bo to capture this
most Influential ParlB papr In order to
barter secretly Its influence abroad when
ever foreigners desire to create certain
current opinion. It is said, for example,
that American Insurance, bicycle and
canned beef companies would lubsldlze it
readily to have themselves defended by a
reputable French organ against French hos
tility to custom duties. Then, too, the
Rvisslan government might utilize it to
float loans, and the German government
to advocate better feeling and boom the
choapners of German products.
All the nationalist papers, however, rldl
cule these alleged revelations, saying that
the shareholders are tired of getting no
dividends, aa has been the condition ever
sluco Fluaro'k famous verbatim publica
tion of the supreme court secret debates
ou tho revision In the Dreyfus first trial.
This jicwerlul stroke, which revealed all
the corruption In the army and rendered
revision inevitable, has never been forglvsn
by Figaro's aristocratic clientele, which is
doggedly clerical, mllttarlan, anti-Semite,
antt-Dreyfusard.

(Copyright. 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, May IS. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Great inter
est has been aroused by the announcement
of a new race around the world by reporters
of newspapers of different nationalities.
Tho start will bo made early next week;
and It is expected that all records will bo
broken, as the Trans-Siberian railway will
be used, Instead of a ship, to get from the
cxtremo Orient to Europe. Some cstlmato
that the trip can be mado In between forty
five and fifty days. At first no race was In
tended. Lo Matin simply announced that
It was about to send Gaston Stlegler out to
ascertain by actual travel how long It would
take, using only the means accessible to
the ordinary tourist. But next day L
Journal announced that ono of its own men.
Henri Turot, would start in an opposlto
direction, by way of New York, and try to
beat the time ot Le. Matin's representative.
Then tbo Berliner Tageblatt instructed its
Paris correspondent to bold himself ready
to start at the same time as the other two.
Finally, yesterday, Rumor, an English
raper, announced that It would enter tho
race. Tho conditions preclude chartering
private conveyances, but allow choice of,
railway and steamship routes. Tho bet
ting is already considerable.
Each newspaper publishes a different
estimate of the time. The following,
though less sanguine than most others, has
the endorsement of the Cook agency: Paris,
via Cherbourg to New York, seven days;
New York to Son Francisco, five days; San
Francisco to Nagasaki, Japan, twenty days;
Nagasaki to Vladlvostock, by steamer, two
days; Vladlvostock to Knabarmask, by rati,
one day; Knabarmask to Strlclrnsk, by
steamboat up tho river Amur, twelve days;
Strlelensk to Irkoutsk, by rail, four days;
Ibkoutsk to St. Petersburg, ten days: St.
Petersburg to Paris, two days; total, fifty.
eight days.
The Russian government, through Its
Paris embassy, nas promised to attend to
the comfort and safety of the correspond
ents, through Siberia and Manchuria. Tho
papers will publish frequent letters and
cablegrams to keep their renders constantly
In touch with their Bcveral champions, The
expense of such & trip. Including first-class
railway and steamship fares throughout,
with food, is $6M).
KAISER'S PERSONAL SAFETY
Addldonnl Precaution Taken
(Sunn! lllm from Violence
uud Look Sermon.
(Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
BERLIN, May IS. (New York World.
Cablegram Special Telegram.) That th
police of Berlin may bo the better able
to attend to tho kaiser's personal safety,
It has been arranged that they are to
know fully an hour before the kaiser drives
out tho exact time when the horses are
ordered. 'Then every available man la on
the streets through which It Is likely that
his majesty will pass. But It often hap
pens that the kaiser, nfter ordering his
carriage, keeps it waiting for an hour, and
perhaps at the last moment gives orderi
to drive through Btreets in which tho po
lice least expect him.
He has given orders that the police
along his route ao never to salute him
nor to look at him. They aro to face the
direction from which his carriage la com
ing, but they aro to watch the crowds, not
the kaiser. Further Instructions have
been given to place a greater number ot
policemen in plain clothes along the
kaiser's route. These are to mix with tho
crowd and listen to conversation and casual
remarks. On railway Journeys the pre
cautions are to bo redoubled. The publlo
is to be rigorously excluded from rail
way stations during the passage of tha
Imperial train. The guards In the Schlosa
have been doubled. The kaiser looks any
thing but well.
One of the best known preachers In Ber
lin has been dismissed by the kaiser tor
preaching long sermons. He was ono ot
the pastors in tbo garrison church. Tho
kaiser attended his church, and after lis
tening to a sermon three-quarters of an
hour long sent his aide-de-camp to say
that the sermon was too long and must be
curtailed to a quarter of an hour. Next
Sunday the sermon was no shorter and his
majesty gave Instructions to have the
pastor removed to another sphere of ac
tivity. He can't stand long sermons, unless
preached by himself.
