Walsh, the gold and silver mining klnc and financial advisor of Leopold, king of the Belgians, seems disposed to surpass the record of fastidious entertainment set by himself at the time of the Parle exposition. When Mrs. Walsh was thanking Bouguereau for coming to her dinner last Wednesday the artist replied: "The trouble. Is, madame, that you never give a dinner, they always srb banquets." Baron Coubertln once said: "When the Walehs haven't sixty people dining with them they feel lonely." After each banquet Mr. Walsh always provides a short variety show in which the most expensive opera stars, ballet dancers snd music hall specialists take part. Mr. Walsh varied hla program this week. Once he took his guests to Barbison, a famous resort for artist's in the forest of Fon tainebleau. In six four-ln-hands.

PILLOW Famous Stone Has Had Many Crimen- Before It Reached Westminster. Pll. (Copyright 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) MADRID, July 26. (New York World Csblegram Special Telegram.) The latest report of the Spanish Royal academy re lates this legend attached to the famous stone known as "Jacob's Pillow," now be neath the coronation chair In Westminster abbey: "When Jacob died the stone came into the possession of bis descendants, but when the Israelites crossed the Red tea it wss found to be very cumbersome and was left in Egypt. The ruling Pbsraoh bad a daughter named Eecta, who married Hay shekes, a Greek, who had become possessed of the relic. Secta and her husband loft Egypt, and after traveling on the African coast settled in Spain, where they founded the town of Brtgantla, oa the site of San tiago de Compostella. Years later their descendants emigrated to Ireland and took the stone with them. Eventually It was placed In the cathedral of Cashel, formerly the metropolis of the klns of Munster, where It was known as the 'Lla Fall.' or 'fatal stone.' ) 'Traditions say that In 513, Fergus, a prince of the royal line, having obtained the Scottish throne, procured the use of this stone for his coronation at Dunstaff- nage, where It continued until the time of Kenneth II, who removed it to Scone. Later It was removed by E J ward J from Bcone to Westminster." ' DROPS THE TEUKC'NE GIRLS French Government Adopts Ante- matte Device for Its Tele phone System. (Copyright 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, July 26. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) After ex haustive testa the French government has sdopted the automatic telephone invention of a Russian engineer. The apparatus does away with "central" girls. The sub scriber turns five disks, each numbered from 0 to 9, to form the number wanted, whereupon the correspondent Is called au tomatically. If he te absent a sign appears ssylng "rang one minute, no answer," while the caller's number is registered at the other end, so that he may be called If the person sought returns. When the number desired is "busy" a special buzz Is Imme diately heard. In order not to dismiss all the telephone girls together, which might disturb the labor market, the new system will be .introduced gradually. Three towns of moderate alse are being equipped now Limoges, Ntmes and Dijon. A strange light Is thrown on French methods by the fact that the apparatus would have been adopted two yeara ago it the police aide of the government, which has always found the telephone exceedingly useful, had not Insisted that secret con versations should be audible by a third party when desired.

Ths closing days of the session ef Parliament are witnessing heated discussions ot tae sver-recurrtng Irish Questions. This week wss especially I nxteklefr-Ui fierceness of ttie accuaa-, tlons and recrimination bandied across the narrow forum ef the House of Commons. The resentment of the Irish members was stirred tn an unusual degree by the discov ery of alleged secret documents of the land trust, organized by the landlords for. the avowed paypose of resisting threatening comblnatlona of tenants and suppressing the boycotting and Intimidation Instigated by the United Irish league or otherwise. The Irish leaders point out that Lord Clonbrook and Lord Barrymore of Barry- more (better known as Arthur Hugh Smith-Barry), chairman of the National Union of Conaervatlvs associations, who are among the prime movers of the trust. signed the same week, as privy councillors, a proclamation from Dublin castle enforc ing the coercion act over half of Ireland. All the trustees of the trust, tne qukb of Abercorn. Lord Wallerford. Lord Ash- town, Lord Clonbrook. Lord Barrymore and two others, are privy councillors. The trust has a , long list of subscribers and ample funds for fighting the tenants and ths league which is behind them. We shall not be surprised," said John Redmond, chairman ot the United Irish league, to a representative of tne Asso ciated Press, "if O'Brien, Dillon, uavitt myself and other leaders are arrested at Mr. Wyndham's Instance within a fortnight. In fsct, we are rather expecting to be ar rested on charges ot unlawful assemblage and Intimidation. They have already brought injunctions and damage aults against us individually."

Throughout the long and acrimonious dis cussions of ths details of the bill the Irish members often sided with the opposition, but on the final action they will not aban don Catholle principles, and, conaequently, will not vote tor the separation ot re ligions to secure Instruction. The vote against the education bill will be small In proportion to ths tremendous agitation of the nonconformists against the measure. Many prominent nonconformists declare they will carry out their avowed purpose ot refusing to pay school taxes under a law which does not allow proportionate representation of the taxpayers on ths school boards.

It has now been decided that the whole route over which the royal carriage is to pass will be flushed, dried and then sprinkled with sand, thus forming a carpet which will re duce the vibrations of the vehicle. The barriers will not be re-erected at all the cross streets Intersecting the coronation route. Otherwise the ordinary police regu latlons will be carried out. One of the saddest features of the post ponement of the king's crowning from the viewpoint of the speculator is the great slump tn the price of seats. A conspicuous example of this is the fine stand at -St Margaret's, Westminster, where the best seats were sold for ten guineas. Tbeee prices have dropped 20 per cent, while at many ot the beat places along the route at from one to three guineas secure seata previously held at five and eight guineas. Some smart clubs on St. James street aud Picadllly bars their own troubles. When the members balloted for seats in ths club stands the winners cheerfully paid ten guineas each, and now many of the club- men want their money back, but the club committees Insist on the thrifty-minded members enjoying the pageant at ths orlg- inal price.

CLASH OF AUTHORITY Agricultural Department Want a Hand in Settling Irrigation Matters. INSISTS ON LOCATING THE RESERVOIRS Secretary Eitohoock Stands for Control by His Own Department MEAD POINTS OUT LEGAL DIFFICULTIES Solution ef Water Eights Problems the First Thing to Consider. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CRIES JEALOUSY Missouri River Commission Makes Its Final Report and Lays the Blame for Failures lios Congress. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. July 26. (Speclsl Tele gram.) Notwithstanding that the irrigation bill has been placed In the hands of the secretary of the Interior for the disposition of the money to be used for the purpose of establishing Irrigation work, reservoirs and s canals as provided for by the bill, the De TA I psrtment of Agriculture is determined te insist upon its right to direct where cer- tain reservoirs and storage basins are to be located. Under the .bill. Secretary department snouia control the sunject ot irrigation In Its broadest field and that the department which he represents should locst reservoirs, run laterals snd other wise provide means of watering the country contemplated in the bill. But there are other forces at work. The Agricultural department has projected itself Into the field as having something to ssy about the location of the irrigation work and' its ' chief Irrigation ' expert, Ellwood Mead of Wyoming, is reported to have said, as appearing In a Washington paper this morning, that "the Interior department people have evidently the idea of proceed log along broad lines regardless of legal complications which may ensue. My Idea Is that until some satisfactory solution of the various water rights problems hss been reached the proceedings of the Interior de partment are rather premature. Matters lare as yet entirely in an experimental stage, In my opinion Ssys Criticism Is Jealousy. It Is stated now by the geological survey, into whose hands the question of the loca tion of reservoirs is to be placed, that Mr. Mead's criticism is based upon Jealousy, for the reason that the Irrigation bureau over which he presides haa not been, called upon to participate in the preliminary work which the secretary of the Interior has outlined for the geological survey during the next few months and for which he haa set aside 1260,000 out ot the $5,000,000 avail able tor the purpose of Irrigating the six teen states and territories included ia the general irrigation bill. Report of Missouri xrirmmtaalaa. . The final annual report of the Missouri river commission, which waa legislated out of existence by congress, waa filed with the chief engineer of tha War department today. The report la suggestive of a dirge, going Into detail aa to the plans tor perma- nnf ImnrAwmniit nf the rtvur whlph failed of realization by reason of the refusal ot congress to conmue the appropriations or allow the money appropriated to be de voted to permanent projects. The report shows there was available on July 1, 1901, funds for the improvement ot rivers in the commission's Jurisdiction as follows: Missouri river, ' $14,359.46; Osage river, $9,985.87; Gasconade river, $1,488. With such a limited fund the commission did not undertake extensive improvements. I Dut confined Ita efforts to the protection of the Improvements already made. The commiaslon reports that aince 1884 there has been appropriated $7,150,000 for the Improvement ot the rivers. Of this amount $240,000 was expended above ' Sioux City, $216,364 was expended in opposition to the wishes of the commission in detached lo calities which could not aid either naviga tion or commerce, $380,082 waa apent tor nag boats, work which on other streams is taken from the general fund; $855,765 went tor plant, office expenaes and salaries of the commission and $469,685 for gauges and surveys. This left but $380,201 for permanent Improvement of the river, and this was extended over a jperlod ot eighteen yeara. The commission reports that a ' I strip of the river forty-five miles long, near I the mouth of the Osage, was Improved and a channel alx feet deep established and I maintained. The commissioners express regret thst this work could not be eon- I tlnued. It Is recommended that congress I make an appropriation of $1,000,000 a year for at leaat three years for ths permanent Improvement of the river from Its mouth to Jefferson City, Mo. The members of the I commission up to the time when legislation I cut them off the pay roll were Colonel I Amos M. Stlckner of the War denartment. P- C- Broadhead of St. Louis and Clarence IN.

The recent order providing for the re demption of uncanceled poatal cards Is held up, pending the decision .of the attorney general as to the legality ot aucb a course. This order was to go Into effect August 1 and directed postmasters everywhere to redeem all uncanceled postal cards at 75 per cent of their face value, paying there for In stamps. But ths attention ot th postmaster general wss directed to an old law, which says: "No poatmaster shall sell or dispose of stamps in sny manner except for cash, under penalty of a fine or Imprisonment." According to - thla law, redemption of postal cards In ths manner prescribed by the recent order appears to be Illegal. It was aaid at the Poatofflce department to day that the entire -question of ths le gality of the order ia being looked into by the attorney general far tha Poatofflce department and the ruling Is expected from that office Tueeday or Wednesday next It la estimated that if the redemp tion order is uphsld, the government will be compelled to pay out not leas than $1,000,000. for uncanceled postal cards.
