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

(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.

PARIS, 8epu 20. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Under orders
the general staff of the French army were
all present on the scene of the battle of
Sedan today, when Barnum at Bailey's cir
cus arrived, for the purpose of receiving
an object lesson in American organization
In moving, housing and feeding an army
of people. . At S o'clock the four big
trains arrived and the others followed In
rapid succession. At 9 o'clock a hot and
elaborate breakfast was served, with seats
at nice tables for the TOO circus people.
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.

not only devises, but superintends the
actual cooking of. Nearly every evening
the dinner aboard the royal yacht revealed
some fresh culinary surprise Invented and
often executed by Soveral, who is prouder
of his achievements In cuisine than in any
thing he could do In diplomacy. The king
enjoys his friend's confections Immensely,
but he is now paying the price In a gouty

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.

(Copyright. 1902. by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, Sept. 20. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) The four cap
Hals, Parle, Berlin, Vienna and St. Peters
burg, are excited over te Grand Duke Paul
Alexandrovttch's eloperdeot with the beau
tiful wife of the distinguished Russian en
gineer, Pistelkorst. This Is the Orand
Duke Paul's fourth runaway match. First
from Vienna, he took the young sister of
a distinguished court lady a few years ago
and brought her to Paris, whence seven
months later he eloped to Monte Carlo "with
the wife of Count de la Rive, a poetess,
well known on account both of her beauty
and her red-hot veises. The countess, who
has often been called the French Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, left the grand duke and
proceeded further east In the company of
one of the prince of Monacos alde-de-enmpe.
Alexandrovltch returned to the
Russian court nr.d made his peace with the
czar, who had forbidden the country to his
gay relative.
Two years ago Paul Alexandrovltch was
sent to Berlin on a special diplomatic mis
sion. He Induced the wife of one of the
foreign ambassadors to forsake her husband
snd three children and follow him te an
Ignoble retreat In Italy, where the couple
remained completely hidden for three
months. 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. A later dispatch, however,
gives the true story, according to which
Prince Vladimir Troubetzskoi, who is an
officer of Standart, after drinking copiously
In company with a woman friend, tried to
shoot himself, but was not hurt. .

Grand Military Parade and Civic

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.
KNOX HAS NOTHING TO SAY

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. Attorney Gen

PACKERS SEND TO TRANSVAAL
London Reports that American Meat
Companies Will Start Represent,
atlves South This Week.
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.

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."
