Never Meddled with ' Polities. Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Sept. JO. (New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) Consterna tion haa been created among the clerical ant.i-republl"ans by the pope's utterances upon the rc.glous troubles In France. Ac cording to Cardinal Rampolla, Pope Leo aid: "The politically Inclined Catholics In France too often hate forgotten recently moderation and sound seme. We regret, the obstinacy of Catholics who confuse politics with religion and always entrust their legitimate claims to those parties op posing a republican government. We re prove also the sterile and disgraceful agi tation which Is being substituted for legal action. Such things as fighting the officers of the law In order to retain congregations legally expelled, refusing to pay taxes, etc., are based upon anarchistic principles which the Catholic church cannot encourage." Aside from the question of principle, the pope also considers recent rebellions ex tremely bad policy, feeling sure that when the Chambers next meet the republican ma jority, being irritated, will refuse a resi dence and authorization to many orders, which, never baring exerted themselves In an secret political action, would otherwise have remained unmolested. The call Issued by the clerical press to boycott Switzerland, Jersey and Guernsey because of measures passed by their respective councils forbid ding the expelled French congregations to aettle there, has fallen perfectly flat, de spite a most fervid campaign. ARCHBISHOPRIC OF CHICAGO Dr. Spalding; of Peoria Is to Havre It and Kea.ne Will Not Be Transplanted. (Copyright. 1908, by Preee Publishing Co.) ROME, Sept. 20. (New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) Father Braudl, who was at one time theologian to Cardinal Gibbons, made the following. Im portant and decisive statement to the .World correspondent concerning the al leged desire of ibo American hierarchy and clergy to be transferred from the Juris diction "of the propaganda to that of the Vatican, on the ground that such a step would raise the status of America from that of a mlsslonary country and place it on the level with the other greet centers Of catholicity. Father Braudl eald: "This question first came up for dis cussion when Cardinal Batolll assisted at the opening of the Cathollo university in Washington. lie thought, as the American hierarchy bad been established a century, It was entitled to be placed on a par with the European hierarchies. Cardinal Gib bone took a vote of the episcopacy on the point with the unexpected result that eventy-two out of eighty archbishops and bishops pronounced against the proposed change. "The American hierarchy and clergy en joy many privileges so long as the United States remains under the jurisdiction of the propaganda which they are not dis posed to sacrifice tor the barren aureola of being treated like the Latin countries that are subject to ths direct supervision of tbs boly sea. Every American clergyman from simplest curate to the cardinal Is regarded as a missionary. An American pariah priest enjoys more authority than a bishop In Itlly or Spain. All their transactions with the holy see, too, are conducted with out trouble or cost through ths propa ganda, whereas the more favored couutrles bare to go through the costly routlie of the different congregations. There is, there lore, no prospect of a change in the exist ing order of things." It is now certain that Dr. Spalding, bishop of Peoria, will be elected to the archbishopric ' of Chicago. Tbers is no truth In the rumor that Archbishop Keane Is to be transplanted to that sea Mgr. Farley, auxiliary to ths late Arch bishop Corrtgan, has been nominated. It is said, by ths pope as archbishop of New York. This was a foregone conclusion, as Bishop Farley's nams was at ths head of both lists supplied by the eplscopats and Clergy.

Every tent had , been erected meanwhile and every seat mounted. The costumes had been ubpacked and 400 horse stabled, curried and fed. The general staff de clared that even the crack regiments of artillery could hardly duplicate the per formance. In order to test this the Thirty-sixth regiment of field artillery was ordered out of barracks, and the guns, horses and all were ordered to en train and detrain. Many faults In the tactics were pointed out to the officers by Mr. McAddon, the general superinten dent of the circus, and Mr. Bailey him self. The suggestions were thankfully received by the generals, who had a stenographer taking down their remarks, to be later embodied in a report to the minister of war. The staff were served with supper In the circus dining tent, after which they received a practical demonstration of American agility. The whole circus, where vast multitudes were entertained during two performances, was pulled down, entrained and sent away to ward the next town in three hours.

Publishing Co.) ROME. Sept 20. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) The Count Bon Martini murder Is now monopolizing the attention of all Italy. It recalls in Its horrid cruelty and depravity the his toric tragedies associated with the Italian tyrants In the dark ages. Count Bon Mar tini, a wealthy nobleman, married Zodo llntla, the handsome, well-dowered daughter of Prof. Augusto Murrl, a medical man of European celebrity. Zodollnda is a typical Italian, passionate and ungovernable, and even at the time she was married to Bon Martini, though only 19, she had developed a morbid taste for sensational and vicious literature, obtained for her by her brother Zulllo, a medical student, known in Bologna as a young man of singularly dis solute character. Zulllo's influence over his sister was always exercised for evil, and after her marriage he did all in his power to estrange her from her husband, having also got their father to prevent her mar riage to a young friend of his own, with whom she had fallen In love. Zodollnda, in her strength of mind and surroundings and propensities, seems to be the reincarna tion of Lucretla Borgia, as pictured by some of the mediaeval chroniclers. She had numerous admirers after her marriage, and twelve months ago her husband, a patient, forgiving man, separated from her. She had two children, but Bologna rang with stories of her amours, and she was literally a public scandal. Prof Murrl never rested until he brougul about an apparent reconciliation between his daughter aad her husband, and with the children the couple went together to Venice for the summer. After a few weeks the trouble broke out again in the house hold and Bon Martini resolved to settle In Padua, In the hopes of removing hia wife from bad Influences. He left Venice the 26th of August and deposited a large sum of money In the bank at Padua, Intending to buy property near that town. Found Dead la Hia Room, He tbw-weut tw -Bolewa.-wieTe fee-was seen by several friends, afterward quietly going to his home, a house In the . Via Matzln. Three days later the other in mates of the house, suspecting something, broke into Bon Martini's apartments and found him lying on the floor In a pool of coagulated blood. His throat was cut and there were seventeen dagger wounds on his body. The apartment was in dis order and some feminine wearing apparel was found, giving the Impression which Zulllo originated, tbit the count had been murdered through Jealousy over some disgraceful intrigue. No clue to the mur derer could be obtained and Zulllo, after de faming bis brother-in-law broadcast, sent a wreath to his funeral and then disap peared. Suspicion was aroused when the police received a letter from Prof. Murrl stating that Zulllo had committed the mur der to avenge his sister, who accused Bon Martini of ill-treating her. Inquiries then elicited not only abundant proofs of Zul llo's mad hatred and Jealousy of his brother-in-law, but he had also been In great monetary difficulties, having tried through the Instrumentality of Dr. Naldi, a man of evil repute and a gambler, to get a loan of $1,000. Naldt was himself with out means until the day after the count's disappearance, when he paid some debts and left hurriedly for Genoa. It Is now known that the countess sent the key of the count's house to Zulllo from Venice and be, with Naldi, who has confessed, lay In wait for him. While Zulllo pinioned the victim, stifling his cries, Naldi in flicted several death-dealing blows with a large knife. They then robbed the mur dered man and coolly arranged things to make it appear that the count was the victim of a guilty Intrigue. It was found that the countess had telegraphed Zulllo tidings of her husband's movements and of the money she imagined he had with him and the climax of the sensation was reached wbea shs was arrested at her father's house as an . accomplice In the diabolical affair. Since her arrest she has abandoned ths pose of a be reaved widow and adopted an attitude of revolting cynicism. Zulllo Is still at large, but It Is believed he is In Bologna, while Naldi was trapped after vainly attempt ing to hire as a surgeon on an American bound ship from Genoa. As a revelation of callous brutality as well as Incredible moral degradation the story of Zodollnda and Zullio could not be excelled.

The woman then went alone to Berlin, secretly saw her children and com mitted suicide In a hotel there the same day. The czar again forgave him, but ths fact that the grand duke was forbidden an entrance to the Russian embassy In Paris when he arrived here yesterday Is Inter preted as a positive Intimation that the csar will disown all family connection after this last escapade. Mme. Pistelkorst has been special fa vorite of the czarina, who cried bitterly when told the newa. ' A telegram received here from Algiers to day reported that the Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovltch, a cousin of the czar, who arrived at Algiers on board the Russian Im perial yacht Standart, attempted to commit suicide with a revolver at the hotel where he was staying, the dispatch said, with a Russian woman.

BUSINESS IS SUSPENDED FOR THE DAY Grand Military Parade and Civic Procession Eaearts the Chief Ex ecutive anil His Party to the Fall Festival. ' CINCINNATI, Sept. 20. "Roosevelt day" at the Cincinnati fall festival brake all records of attendance at these snnual car nivals. The president wss kept on his feet and busy for over twelve hours with the exception of the time at the noon luncheon snd the evening banquet and even then he was engaged in discussing matters of public interest with the guests of honor at his table. After the meeting the presidential party was driven to the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton depot, direct, and their special tralu left at midnight for Detroit. The party will be Joined in Chicago by Secretary Shaw, Secretary Wilson and others for the north western tour. Catastrophe Narrowly Averted. The unusually successful celebration of the day came very near being marred to night with a panic that would have caused a countless loss of life. It Is estimated that there were over 8,000 people packed Into the auditorium when the president began speaking. A the same time the adjoining exposition balls were crowded with people viewing the exhibits as they were unable to gain admittance Into the music hall. After the president had been speaking about fifteen minutes there was a greet commotion in Mechanical hall, ad jacent to Music hall on the north. The sparks from an electric light wire had set a curtain on fire and the fire department had been called to the scene. The police and attendant nf the prnnnlMnn. soon put out the fire, but they had much more trouble In controlling the alarmed crowd and it was with great difficulty that Cap tain J. B. Foraker, son of the senator, and one of the officers of the day, headed off the fire department from rushing Into the building. Happily one of the bands struck up and (hose who left the auditorium were supposed to be going out to stop the band rather than, to head off a panic Very few in the auditorium where ths president was speaking knew anything about the inci dent and the .president suffered only a slight Interruption, without knowing what caused ft." 7 Ths "aisles of the audltorlu'ra and all of ths standing room about the exits were packed with people as well as ths great balcony and the gallery. Had there been a cry of fire or any knowledge of what was going on among those In the auditorium the fatal results could not be estimated. President Roosevelt spoke in part as fol lows: Today I wish to speak to you on the rub. ject or group of subjects which we meitn when vie talk of the trusts. The word is used very loorely and almost always with technical Inaccuracy. Evolution, Not Revolution. In dealing with the big corporations we Intend to proceed, not by revolution, but by evolution. We will accept the facts, declining to have our vision blinded either by the folly of those who say there are no evils, or by the more dangerous folly of those who either see or make believe that they see nothing but evil in ail the existing system and who, If given their way, would destroy the evil by the simple process of bringing ruin and disaster to the entire country. The evils attendant upon over capitalization alone are, In my Judgment, sufficient to warrant a far cloaer supervi sion and control then now exists over the great corporations. Wherever a substantial monopoly can be shown to exist we should certainly try our utmost to devise an ex pedient by which it can be controlled. A remedy much advocated at the moment Is to take off the tariff from all articles which are made by trusts. To do this It will be necessary to first define trusts. The language commonly used by the advocates of the method implies that they mean all articles made by large corporations, and that the changes in tariff are to be made with punitive Intent toward these large corporations. Of course If the tariff Is to be changed In order to punish them, it should be changed so as to punish those that do 111, not merely those that are prosperous. It would neither be Just nor expedient to punish the big corporations as big corporations; what we wish to do is to protect the people from any evil that may grow out of their existence or mal administration. Some of these corporations do well and others do HI. If in any case the tariff Is found to foster a monopoly which does ill why of course no protection ist would object to a modification of the tariff sufficient to remedy the evil. But in very few cases does the so-called trust really monopolize the market. Further more, the producta of many trusts are un protected, and would be entirely unaffected by any change In the tariff or at most very slightly so. The Standard Oil company offers a case In point and the corporations which control the anthracite coal output offers another for there Is no duty what ever on anthracite coal. The trusts can be damaged by depriving them of the bene fits of a protective tariff, only on condition of damaging all their smaller competitors, and all the wage workers employed in the Industry, This point is very important and it is desirable to avoid any save willful misunderstanding. I am not now consider ing whether or not, on grounds totally un connected with the trusts, it would be well to lower the duties on various schedules, either by direct legislation or by legislation or treaties designed to secure aa an offset reciprocal advantages from the nations with which we trade. My point is that changes in the tariff would have little ap preciable effect en the trusts, save aa they shared in the general harm or good pro ceeding from such changes.

LONDON. Sept. 20. "The extortion of the American beef trust" continues to be a fruitful theme for the English press. The British government is roundly abused for its refusal to open the ports to the im portation of Argentine live cattle. There Is no question that the consumer in Lon don is paying 10 per cent more for beef than a year ago. One official of the Swift company declares that vthe price la due to the shortage of the American supply, and, contrary to general belief, he says his firm haa frequently sold meat In Lon don this summer below what it costs in Chicago, as the English would not pay be yond a certain price. He added: "So far as the Argentine business Is concerned the closing of the ports to live South Ameri can cattle does not matter a particle, be cause more refrigerated beet has been shipped from Argentine this year to Eng land than live and refrigerated meat com bined during any previous season." It may also be mentioned that the Amer ican packing houses are preparing to en ter the South African field. Preparations were making In London this week to send representatives to the Transvaal.

HE STANDS FIRM FOR RECIPROCITY 6yi the Thing; to Da ii to Arrang to Bwap Trada Privilegss. QUOTES EXTENSIVELY FROM M'KINLEY DeGsi Anyona to Detect ia it a Ltaninj Toward Revision. THOUSANDS HEAR AND CHEER THE I0WAN He la the Prlarlpal Magnet for Great Rally at Mnaoa Park Hender son's Resignation s Rot Mentioned. CHICAGO, Sept. 20. As an opponent ot tariff revision and as an advocate of reci procity, Secretary of the Treasury Loalle M. Shaw spoke to a great crowd tn Mason park tonight. The secretary was the magnet which drew thousands to the republican rally, and although he disappointed many in that he did not refer to the Henderson Incident, he evoked applause in his treatment ot the issues which were so closely knit Into the resignation of the speaker of the house. A point which seemed to find favor with the crowd, was that offered by Secretary Shaw, when he quoted from the last speech of President McKlnley, and defied any one to find in the entire speech anything that would indicate that Mr. McKlnley had the faintest leanntng toward tariff revision. Other speakers at the meeting were Con gressman Fobs, Boutell and Mann. In part, Mr. Shaw said: "Under a protective policy we have built up our manufacturing interests until now our factories turn out more In value than all the shops and all the factories ot any other two countrioe on the map by more than t3, 000.000,000. We have now a surplus of manufactories as well as food products and the all-important question confronting us is what shall we do with It? For the more common articles of manufacture, like Iron and steel and glass, and the product of the loom and the spindle, we need more markets. In fact, we must have them, for If the ability ot our people to consume should be materially checked either by pro !o"'e4 and acrimsnious Ur3 ttiUUuu or by failure of crops, we will be confronted with a surplus, and labor will again seek employment In vain. Ko Advocating Free Trade, "If I have made my premises clear the conclusion ia Irresistible. I am not advo cating opening bur markets to the unre stricted trade of foreign countries. That must never be so much sa thought of. I am simply making as strong an argument as I am able to formulate In favor of swap ping trade privileges. "Under the provisions of the Dingley bill certain treaties were prepared and signed, during McKlnley' first term. They have not been ratified. Before referring gen erally to the merits of one or two of these treaties I want to call attention to the fact that the republican platform haa declared In favor of reciprocity and the then president authorized these treaties. No one sup poses for a moment that William McKlnley did this without knewtng of their contents and without approving them In detail. "Next I want to emphaslxe the fact that the last speech made by that hero and statesman was his first and preliminary speech preparatory to an aggressive move ment In favor of their ratification. I doubt If a speech waa ever misrepresented as much as that one has been. The opposi tion papers throughout the country seized upon It as a declaration In favor of tariff revision. There are not three consecutive sentences that permit ot such a construc tion. He said: 'If perchance some ot our tariffs are no longer needed for revenue or to encourage and protect our Industries at home, why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad?' He does not say why should they not be removed thrown away. What he doea say Is. 'Why should they not be employed to extend and promote our mar kets abroad?' You cannot employ , them by removing them gratuitously. He ex plains how. 'Reciprocity treaties,' he says, 'are tn harmony with the spirit of the times.' Reciprocity treaties are the means pointed out by William McKlnley for us ing these 'no longer needed tariffs to ex tend our trade abroad' That la the whole Import of that speech, and in it he gave notice that he proposed to use every hon orable means to secure the ratification of those treaties. . Cites an Instance, "I now want to refer to Juat one of the sev eral treaties. Take the one with Argentina. The treaty provides that the United State's shall admit the wool, the hides and the sugar from Argentina at the rata of duty 20 per cent below the regular Dingley tariff and In consideration of this reduction Ar gentina is to give us 60 per cent reduction from her regular tariff schedules on canned salmon, lobsters, corn, suocotash, tomatoes, apples, dried and evaporated fruits, paraffin wax and wind mills and 20 per cent reduc tion on bacon, oatmeal, cracker wheat and hominy and other cereal foods, and on cer tain kinds ot twine and cotton rope. We are also to have certain advantages on a large number of manufactures ot wuod Similar treaties were drawn with other countries. Under the Dingley bill 20 pr cent reduction might be allowed under treaty duly ratified. In other words our minimum tariff under the Dingley act Is 20 per cent below the regular schedule. The minimum tariff In Francs differs on differ ent items, but amounts to about SO per cent less than their regular tariff rates. France haa given a number of countries the advan tage over us In her markets. The only way we can get equal concessions Is to give her some little concession tn our market."
