(Copyright, 1M, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, April 27. (New York World
Cablegram, Special Telegram.) The panic
caused by Ibe Morgan ship combine Is in
creasing Instead ot diminishing.
It Is sgaln reported that Mr. Morgan Is
aiming to secure control of a railroad from
Southampton to London and aleo of the
great central line from Liverpool through
the midland manufacturing districts to tbe
metropolis. It is believed that tbe ocean
combine Is only part of a scheme Involv
ing British railroads as well as shipping.
Despite the assurance that the British
hips aroncernod will not pass under tbe
American flag, the public, remembering
the equally strenuous assurances recently
from tbe same quarters that no combine
was contemplated or even possible, natur
ally la skeptical. Anyway America has
obtained control of the trans-atlanttc ship
ping and that has deeply wounded British
elf-esteem. The only consolation furn
ished by tbe Times, which suggest that
"'Cautious people are Inclined, to be uneasy
when they contemplate the huge propor
tions of fabrics created not out ot nothing,
but out of materials whose collective
financial bulk before tbey were combined
became appreciably greater by the mere

1. severely censured boc.u.e. unlike the
German government. It permitted a combine
Involving all of its most valuable auxil
iary cruisers to be organised without in
forming itself aa to its bearing on the
national defense.
The ministerial statement that In case
of war between tbe United States and
Great Britain the combination would col
lapse automatically means notblng, because
In -Bih emergency all ships under the
British flag In American ports would be
eized Immediately, as would all American
hips in British ports.
Liverpool Badly Frightened.
Liverpool la prey to terror at the
threatened possibility that Its ocean trade
. tuay be transferred to Southampton. The
' : Courier -nf . flint fity .eooveya . the depth of
feeling by exclaiming '
" "Never In all Us history did this old
country stand mora greatly in need of a
peer In, wisdom and a Napoleon in action."
J. Plerpont Morgan Is aatd to have been
teen In Paris depot despite tbe report
that he had left and is quoted as saying
to the Dally Telegraph correspondent
bluntly;
"I am not going to tell you what I have
come to Pari for, certainly not." The
Tmea correspondent says the Campagnle
Generate Tranaatlantlque (French Hue) de
nies unqualifiedly that Mr. Morgan or any
one in behalf of the combine has ap
proached It. But denials are -a part of tbe
gam. Tbe Cunard company aleo denied
that It will Join and reckons that Its being
the only first-class British line outside the
combination will secure for It increased
custom from patriotic. Britishers.
' Starts Paris to Talk In.
PARIS, April 27. J. Plerpont Morgan's-
tnysterlou flying trip here remains a mat
ter of eager speculation for the publlo and
press. He remained only two days, re
turning to London Wednesday.
None of his usual associates knew he
was coming or were allowed to see him,
except Mr. Harjea. his partner in Pari.
At first everybody thought Morgan's pur
pose was to get the French Transatlantic
line into the shipping combine, but as he
well knew the government would never
allow such a combination. It is now ex
plained that be came In order to get
American securities listed on the Paris
bourse. If proper legislation could be ob
tained relieving foreign securities from the
prohibitive taxation now Imposed, New
York financiers could use the Paris mar
ket to excellent advantage. But Mr. Mor
gan is not likely to try lobbying of such
, magnitude as. would be necessary to over
ride .publlo sentiment in this matter amid
the present electioneering turmoil.
The truth is that all Information about
Morgan's maneuvering while here must
be discredited, for never waa a secret so
closely guarded. Nevertheless, It la not
Unlikely that be met Premier Waldeck
Rousseau on Tueaday at a strictly private
luncheon, purposely arranged by Ambas-
ii(a. ToW r Kvarvnna in W m r r m ihm

PARIS, April 27. (New York World Ca
blegram Rperliil Telegram.) The sensa
tlonal story that portrait! ot tbe dead body
of Christ have been obtained at Turin by
photographing the shroud preserved la the
cathedral there has been revived by tbe
Figaro and Is causing a huge stir.
The famoue relic, which belongs to the
royal house of Bavoy and has long been
recognized as authentic, shows numerous
blood stains which are faint ordinarily, but
it Is alleged that they turn a vivid scarlet
j.Al.on Holy Friday.
rly two years ago a Turin photogra-
-serted that negatives of the ehroud
j perfect resemblance to Jeeus.
To V 'e examined by chui b au
tborlt!. xand that they bore evi
dence of c etouchlng, and therefore a
sensation was dipped In the bud. Now the
photographs are exhibited In the lobby of
the Figaro's building and thousands are
thronging the place every day to see them.
A good idea of what they took like may be
bad from any of the later bearded por
traits of Alponxo Daudet..
The forehead is terribly lacerated and
the hands are crossed over the body. The
nail do not appear to have been driven
through the palms of the hands, aa It Is
generally believed they were, but through
the wrlets. Concurrently with tbe exhib
iting of the photographs two eminent pny
slclans, Drs. Pe Large and Vlgnon, have
communicated to the Academy -)t Science
theories explaining tbe miracle, basing
their argument on M. Gautler's discovery
that the body of a dying man emits an al
kaline perspiration, and that Colson's pre
vious discovery that certain chemicals
could Impress sensitized plates In absolute
darkness or leave traces Invisible to tbe
human eye but capable of being photo
graphed, and De Large and Vlgnon believe
Christ's dying torture emitted a perspira
tion which enabled the shroud to preserve
an invisible likeness which now fbr the
first time has been revealed by the photo
graphic negative.
The World correspondent visited today
some prominent scientists, who ridiculed
the Ingenious theories. H. Berthelot, for
Instance, said: "First, the negatives, It
baa been proved, were doctored. Second,
after nineteen, centuries such chemical
forces would have long been evaporated.

CONCESSION J0 THE PRESS
Correspondents nt Coronation Will Be
Allowed (a of Parliamentary
Press Gallery.
tCopyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON. April 27. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Tbe Amer
ican and colonial Journalists coming to
London for the coronation are to be en
tertained May 1 at a banquet In the Cri
terion by their London conferees. Am
bassador Choate and other notabilities will
be among the guests. On request of the
committee of the Institute ot Journalists
the sergeabt-at-arms of the House of Com
mons has courteously signified to the for
eign and colonial Journalists working in
Westminster Abbey that tbey may have the
privilege of using tbe writing rooms In
the houses of Parliament reserved for the
press. This Is a great concession, as It Is
the first time any newspaper man not in
cluded among tbe 150 having tickets for the
parliamentary press galleries ha been per
mitted to enjoy the pre facilities within
tbe palace ot Westminster.
Prince Edward of York, tbe prince ot
Wsb' eldest son, who will be king some
time If he lives, will be 8 years old a
few days before his grandfather i crowned
and is taking a lively Intsrest in tbe
prepartlons for the coronation, as would be
expected from a boy ot his age.
He is said to have expressed profound
disgust and disappointment at bearing that
the royal party will ride on horses or in
carriage in the coronation procession. He
thought that on such a gala occasion they
might at least be mounted on elephants
and camels from the Zoo.
Though the streets are to be lined with
60,000 troop on coronation day, It Is feared
that tbe police will be insufficient to cope
with the concentration not only of giant
crowds, but of all the crooks on the earth
who can scrape together the price of a
ticket to London. It Is suggested that the
police be reinforced from other cities with
men to do patrol work, while the London
conatablea are detailed to watch the scat
tered gangs of crlmlnala who are expected
to visit the metropolis the next two years.
The officers' estimate I that the corona
tion will attract far larger throngs ot
visitors than either jubileea, despite tbe
fact that up to now London has been
rather emptier than in normal years.

BORROWS MONEY TO COME TO AMERICA

Payment and Defaalt Caasee a
I.awaaft, Which Creates
a Sensation.
(Copyright, 1902. by Press Publishing Co.)
VIENNA. April. 27. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) The imperial
court of Austria is in a turmoil because
some ten or more years ago Prince Leopold
Isenburg failed to marry Consuelo Vander
bllt, and thereby acquire enough money to
pay his own and his papa' debt. The mat
ter leaked out at the trial of a suit brought
by the estate of the late Lawyer Umlauff
against Archduke Francis Salvator to re
cover $15,000 lent to Prince Ieenburg under
hi Imperial highness' guarantee. It appears
that the Isenburgs were mortgaged up to
their ears When young Prince Leopold
started for America with borrowed money to
attack the hearts ot American heiresses,
notably tbat of Consuelo Vanderbllt, who
was singled out as the richest plum In the
bunch. In order to pay his traveling ex
penses Papa Ieenburg borrowed nearly 160,
000 on his estate, and when Leopold re
turned minus wife and helresa the things
were looking black In the principality, the
servants went without wages, the hores
without fodder, the princesses without pin
money and the prince himself without the
wherewithal to play baccarat and other no
ble games.
In this crisis Isenburg senior persuaded a
Hungarian gentleman named I'mlauff to
loan him the $15,000 now sued for, but Urn
lauff insisted upon a guarantee by Isen
burg's Imperial ralatlves. This guarantee
was finally obtalnd from Archduke Francl
Salvator, a nephew of the princess of Ieen
burg. Francis, It appears, wrote Umlauff a
letter setting forth tbat he, the archduke,
would repay the loan If his nncle did not.
As It turned out, Isenburg didn't, for it
was agalnat the old man's principle to pay
anybody or anything. So when be died Tjm
lauff tried to levy on his eetates, but the
German law, guaranteeing the integrity of
entailed estates, barred blm. Then Umlaff
sued Francis Salvator, but here again tbe
law stood In his way, for on archduke can
not be sued like ordinary debtors, so there
are miles and miles of red tape to protect
him and the minister of the Imperial family
shields him against rude attack by cred
itor. Twice Umlauff carried his case be
fore tbe cabinet court and twice he wa de
feated. Blame the American.
Thl misfortune excited and chagrined
Umlauff to such an extent that he laid
down and died, leaving hi family of
young children In want. Now the socialists
have taken up the matter In Parliament
and promise to make it warm for JrancU
Salvator. who will have to either pay or
give up his position In the army and forfeit
his right to th throne. Tbe socialist
are determined to force the minister of
Justice to answer tbe complaint of th de
frauded family In public no more secret
cabinet courts for them. The whole, truth
will have to be told and if there was a
conspiracy between an imperial archduke
and an heiress-hunting bankrupt princel
ing to fleece a confiding man out of his
money that conspiracy will have to be
laid bare. Tbe socialists say that Francis
Salvator and Archduchess Marie Teresa,
widow ot old Prince Isenburg, are Jointly
responsible, as ber Imperial highness
helped to persuade Umlauff to part with
his money for the benefit of the bankrupt
prince. Tmlauff, they ssy, was dazzled by
so much imperial prestige and his loyal
heart broke when he discovered afterward
tbat his nephew and niece of Francis
Joseph so far lowered themselves aa to
refuse payment of a Just' debt. All Vienna
is on the tiptoe of expectation, for It Is ex
pected that the socialists will bring about
such an airing of Imperial soiled linen a
never before has flaunted In the breeze of
public opinion. Besides the archduke and
arcnaucness named anotner prince ot a
reigning. house Is Involved In the conaplr
cy, th ex-duke of Parma. Thl prince
1 said to have exacted a commission ifrom
Umlauff for getting him a customer of the
rank and prestige ot old Isenburg. Part
of tbe loyal Austrian press blames Amer
ica for the scandal.
"Why didn't some rich American girl
marry Isenburg, Jr., and forestall all tbls
scandal?" argue th paper.
Meanwhile Umlauff'a widow and children
are kept from atarvlng by public charity.

yond the continuation of the debate on
the Philippine government bill and the
consideration of minor matter when there
Is no one prepared to apeak on the Phil
ippine bill. There Is no prospect thus far
for speeches In support of tbat measure,
and consequently all the talk bids fair to
continue to be on tbe negative side of the
question. Up to the present time the
speeches all have been made by minority
member of tbe Philippine committee, but
it Is stated that other . democratic sen
ator have promised to lift their voices
in opposition to the bill, among them
being Messrs. Turner, Clay and Simmons.

A lively colloquy ensued between Mr.
Nlmmo and Judge Knapp of the commis

WASHINGTON, April 27. Frederlo
Emory, chief of the bureau ot foreign com
merce, made public today ' another extract
from the volume entitled "Commercial Re
lations of tbe United State During 1901,"
which is now in press. The extract given
today deals with the trade of the United
States with South America last year.
American coal, it is reported, find a
steady Increasing sale in Braxll, despite
deep seated prejudices and the antagonism
of competitors. The export trade of the
United Statee to Brazil, however. It Is
said, never will reach Its proper develop
ment so long as our merchandise has to
seek foreign bottoms. It is pointed out
tbat if a line of modern steamers wefa
operated between New York and Brasll
there would be no lack of return freight In
coffee, rubber and like products. Ameri
can hardware. It I also ststed, has earned
a reputation for quality and finish which
places It beyond competition. Typewriters,
sewing machines, watches and electric
goods hold their own everywhere end the
United States is gaining a foothold In
bicycles, locks, firearms, cutlery snd pic
ture frames.
Get Educations Here.
Brazil recognlsea tbe value of an educa
tion in the United State and it 1 a notable
fact that many young Brazilian are eomlng
to this country to complete their careers
of learning. Until this year the better class
of young Brazilians were sent to Portugal,
France or Germany to acquire their liter
ary, professional or scientific training and
It was as rare to find a Brazilian speaking
English as it ia -to find an American speak
ing Portuguese. Now English Is being
taught In aome of the higher schools ot
Bra11 and many young men go to the
United States to study engineering, elec
tricity, law, medicine and dentistry.
In tbe Argentine Republic the American
goods making the greatest headway are
tools and Implements, cottons, hat, shoes
and specialties. A banker In Rosarlo re
cently reported that for the half-year end
ing June 3d, 1901, the increase of trans
actions between his house and the United
States had been 131 per cent and he under
stood that other bankera had similar ex
perience. But while we are materially
Increasing the aggregate of our trade with
Argentine, here also the absence of direct
steamship communication is a handicap.
Yanktes Invade Other States.
Lumbering la the chief Industry in the
southern provinces ot Chill, and practically
all of the wood is cut by mills of Ameri
can construction. All of the machinery used
In the production of flour aleo come from
the United State. On account of the politi
cal disturbances in Colombia, Imports from
th United State have Increased only
slightly. The' ImporU from all other coun
tries have remained stationary. A rising
demand for our shoes and for negligee
shirts, collars and cuffs is especially noted.
Uulted States trade with Ecuador shows
a gratifying Increase, due to purchases for
the Guayaquil Quito railroad, better and
quicker communication, lower freight
rates and the coming of American commer
cial travelers. "Our trade will eteadily
advance," it ia stated, "but- an Isthmian
canal alone can give us the advantage we
should occupy."
A large variety of American auppjles Is
appearing In the markets ot Uruguay.
"When our manufacturers mako the ef
fort," It Is stated, "they can place there
goods that in quality and economy that will
conquer the market."

Wife Credited with Arbor Day.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., April 27.
(Special Telegram.) Word was received
here this afternoon that Hon. J. Sterling
Morton, ex-secrctary of agriculture, had
died at the home of his third son, Mark,
In Lake Forest, 111., this afternoon at
4:30 o'clock, after on illness of several
months. Last Tuesday was his seventieth
birthday and the usual celebration was
omitted here out of respect to Mr. Morton's
condition. The fact that be waa In a
dangerous condition was not generally
known here, as the reports from hi bed
side were to the effect that he was doing
nicely and the specialists who had charge
of the case reported that they expected to
have him out and about In a short time.
The new of his death cam a a shock to
every one snd tonight groups, of men may -be
seen standing'' about the street with
sorrowful faces talking in subdued tone
ot the friend that had gone.
He came to Nebraska In 1854 and settled
with his wife on the farm that has been
his home ever since and which, by the
force of tbe man, has become known
throughout the country. The first Arbor
Day was celebrated at tbls home by the
family long before It became a world holi
day. The conception of Arbor Day was
one . of the flashes of genius which J.Tr.
Morton always attributed to his wife. II
was to her a) so that Arbor Lodge owes
Its name, but to Mr. Morton belongs th
fame that has been shed from Its hospita
ble doors. On this farm tbe four sons,
Joy, Paul, Mark and Carl wsre born and
grew up to carry the name of Morton oul
Into the world. Joy Morton Is now one ol
the powerful figures In Chicago finance..
Paul Morton Is vice president of the Sant
Fe railroad and Mark is at tbe head of
several of the great Morton Industries.
,Carl, the youngest and best loved, is dead,
having passed away at Waukeegan, III., a
year ago last January.
Ever since bis coming to Nebraska J.
Sterling Morton has been a mighty factor
In the development ot the stats. A man
of powerful physique and more powerful
mentally, he has brought his whole
strength to bear on the problem of con
verting the trackless plain lato a garden
ot plenty. How well be has wrought can
be seen by a glance at the highly culti
vated acres at Arbor Lodge. How thor
oughly he la loved can be seen tonight In
the sorrowful faces of the men and women
who walk quietly through the streets.
Helpful to Vonua Men.
The young men ot Nebraska are more
particularly Indebted to Mr. Morton. To
them he has ever been a resource upoa
which they might draw for help
In getting a start In the world
and all over the United State are
young men and women who are winnlug
for themselves golden honor, and wbo,
were they asked for tbe keynote to their
success, would say that to J. Bterllsg Mor
ton they owed their start and th Incentive
to go on and win. He has said to them all
the secret ot all successes wa work, work,
work.
His own life was an example of the value
of this maxim that was constantly before
them. A man of the most catholic tests
and the widest scholarship, be welcomed
all men, and particularly young man, to
come to him for advice and help. The
strength of bis convictions were such tbat
when he had settled In his own mind the
right and wrong of a matter It was almost
impossible to cbange blm and no amount
of abuse could swerve h'.ra an (neb from
the course he bsd laid down. v
Upon bis retirement from public Ufa be
organized and started the Conservative, and
about one year ago be purchased th Tri
