LONDON. Oct. 25. (New York World Cs
blegrsm Special Telegram.) The Mad
Mullah, against whom another punitive ex
pedition of British troops la about to be
atarted In Sonialiland, In northeast Africa,
has loos been an object of suspicion by
the War office. He and bis followers bate
opposed the development of the interior
of Somaliland and have constantly stirred
up strife by raiding and looting tribes
which were under British protection. Early
last spring be raided tribes within eighteen
miles of Burao, and this, despite the pres
ence of a British garrison, which was pow
aMeas to effect anything against the Mul
lah's rapidly moving force.
This naturally increased the admiration
of his followers for him, and Colonel
Bwayne's punitive expedition, made up of
natives under British officers, waa started
out to scatter his forces. This expedition
waa defeated a few days ago, and for a
time It waa feared that It would be anni
hilated. But It has reached safety, and
all the British wounded are reported to be
doing well. . General Manning arrived at
Aden this week and at once began to rush
trained Indian troops to Somaliland. It la
believed the Mad Mullah has a force of
from It. 000 to 16,000 men, many of whom
are well armed and mounted.
Ask Abyssinia to Help.
The British cannot promptly put any
thing like as large a force as that in the
Held there, but expect to send there a
brigade (3,000 or 4,000 men) of troops from
India. It is understood that the govern
ment will ask the negus (emperor) of
' Abyssinia to send a force against the
fanatlca from the west, aa he did once
before with great effect. If the negue
consents he will send an army out under
Raa Makonnen, the commander-in-chief of
the Abyssinian army. Ras Makonnen came
to London for the coronation aa the repre
sentative of the negus, and seemed to be
- so well pleased wflh England and King
,! Edward -hospitality, that It la thought ha
. willingly would bead a force to help crush
the fanatlca.
The "Mullah" has l)een- preaching the
Jehad, or ''Holy War," and has thus gained
a considerable following of Moslems,
erased with religious fervor. By bis
preaching he baa gained such an influence
over the tribesmen that be has been pro

Numerous "mad" mullahs have been
heard from In the last decade, the most
prominent one hitherto being the warrior

to chewing becauae of Its intoxicating prop

but gifted with considerable Intelligence
and cunning. He claims to hsve been com
inanded to preach the Jehad through a dl
vine Inspiration. During the time he was
Inciting bis followers to rebellion against
the British authority they demanded of
him some evidence of his miraculous
power. Hsvlng the eight before seen

warship flashed its searchlight over th

He haa distributed among hla followers

The "Mad Mullah" ia a mesmerist of no
mean power and during one of his revivals
at his principal village In Somaliland put
one of the leading chiefs la a tranee. Ho
asked ths man what be aaw.
"I aee the hills around crowned with
true believers and the hosts of heaven

"Down below are Sahibs, some dead on the
ground, others being Sallowed and slain by
the followers of Mohammed, la the dis
tance Topkhana are coming, but they flee
and all the infidels are dead and dying." '
Believing the British were afraid of

CHURCH LIVERY SERVES WELL
Accomplished Swindler I see
It te
Gather In a Striae of
Victims.
(Copyright. 112. by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS. Oct. 25 (New York World Cable
gramSpecial Telegram ) The great Hum
bert swindle has a rival In the series of
frauds now Isld at the door of a coterie,
headed ty Canon Rosenberg, Abbe Gull
lauroln and a banker named Malleval,
among whose associstes were an alleged
prince, a baroness and a dramatist. Their
operations have just been brought to light
through complaints made to the police by
Mrs. Civet, a woman of independent means,
who, on the advice of the abbe, had en
trusted $100,000 to Malleval, who disap
peared. Mrs. Civet was drawn Into denllngs
with the people she now accuses through her
desire for separation from her husband. K -had
procured a civil divorce and wanted an
annulment of the religious ceremony. A
man going by the name of Oadobert and
calling himself the grand chancellor of the
archbishopric of Smyrna volunteered to In
tercede with the pope In her cause for 112,
000. He got the money, spent It and was
arrested. Rosenberg then promised to use
his good offices at the Vatican, but nothing
came of bis promises, and Mrs. Civet,
finally realizing that she was being fooled,
went to the police. Rosenberg has a fas
cinating personality. He is tall, handsome,
hss engaging manners, is a brilliant talker
and Inspires confidence. Some who have
Buffered through him even now refuse to
believe that he is not the salntliest man on
earth. Hla parenta having made a sensa
tional conversion to Catholicism at Tours,
be went into the church and In 1885 ob
tained the canonry of Tours, but bis busi
ness Instincts got ahead of hla religious in
clinations. Some time later certain titled women
who had followed his counsel found them
selves penniless and he himself had become
bankrupt, with liabilities amounting to
$625,000. Then he waa auspended by hla
superior. '
His next move affected pious women who
desired divorce. It is alleged that he
passed himself off as the bishop of Cyprus,
that be said he had been appointed vicar
general by the Maronite archbishop, who
haa the power to annul marriage without
appealing to the pope, and he is accused
of granting imaginary divorce to sancti
monious women. This brought him in a
handsome revenue, it is reported, until Mrs.
Civet's action put an end to the business.
The second transaction, Mrs. Civet
avers, she had with Rosenberg, waa to ad
vance $1,000 to enable him to go to America
to negotiate a loan for the Turkish gov
ernment. The canon assured her, she
aaya, that the loan would be repaid ten
fold when he made up his accounts with
the sultan. Rosenberg is also charge
with aendlng young women to gamble for
him at Monte Carlo and with ordering
wine on credit and selling it wherever he
went His audacity knew ni limit, if ths
stories told ef him sre true.
Some time ago he signed contract, it
la asserted, to buy a house at Chevlevllle,
In the department of the Olae, waa given
occupation pending payment of the first
Installment, took poaaeesion with two ' or
three alleged clerical friends, gave large
orders to locsl tradesmen and even at
tempted to celebrate mass In the parish
church, but waa ejected from the building
by the local priest, and it Is declared that
he left without paying anybody. Later, it
la charged that he helped a girl and her
lover to elope, getting them married by
an associate, and that for thla be received
generous commission when , the young
people were reconciled with their parents
and the dot waa handed'over. Report aaya
he was compelled to leave that neighbor
hood.
Then the canon came to Paris. Here i
rich woman is reported to hsve offered
him a large sum of money to take her
son to Canada, where the canon Is said
to have repreeented that he owned large
settlements. Roseberg got the boy out of
the country, but before he could obtain
payment for his services Mrs. Civet set
the police after him and he changed his
sddress.
Rosenberg Is also credited with being
associated with a banker named Boulalne
who waa arrested early this month for
swindling by meana of bogus companies.
After an examination In court Boulalne
left in company with two detectives. Con
trary to the regulations, they did not
handcuff him and when they turned to
tell him to step Into a cab to go back to
prison ha hsd fled. The officers are now
under arrest. It ia believed that when
Boulaine gave the detectives the slip an
accomplice was waiting for him with a cab
and drove straight to the Northern rail
way etation. where he took a train for
Belgium. Boulalne waa an extraordinarily
clever man and it Is asserted that he oper
eled with signal success in France, South
America. Holland and England. He Is said
to have had a sham telephone through

Intends to strengthen the squadron of Ger
man war vessels stationed In the North
Atlantic. Two large cruisers and three
gunboats will be devoted to this purpose
and the whole will be placed under the
command of a distinguished admiral.
Prince Adelbert, the kaiser's third son,
will be attached to this squadron and
probably will be placed In command of
one of the gunboats. The object of this
move Is openly to strengthen the good
relations between Germany and the United
States and to extend these relations ta the
fleets of both nations. It ta this which in
duces the kaiser to part with Prince Adel
bert. probably his best beloved son, who
bids fair to be a gentleman aa well as a
gallant sailor.
Prince Adelbert is physically a fine type
of a young fellow, with an open, frank
bearing, perfect manners and a thorough
knowledge of Idematic Enbllsh. He will
devote much time to study of American
naval matters while in North Atlantlo
ports.
It Is the kaiser's most earnest wish that
the constant communication ahould be

squadrons in the North Atlantic, and will

GREAT LEGAL BATTLE BEGINS
Fight for .Strotton Millions Cos
monces tn Earnest In Court at
Colorado Sprlnga.
COLORADO SPRINGS. ' Colo.. Oct .
The. great, legal bat Us over the Straiten
millions eommenced in earnest today In
the district court before Judge W. P. Seeds.
Today's proceedings are the beginning of
the fight on the present three executors
named by Mr. Stratum In his will to prove
that the administrators appointed In Sep
tember by County Judge Orr were Illegally
created and. therefore, are not entitled to
handle and administer the estate. The case
waa taken out of the county court and Into
the district on a writ of certiorari issued
three weeks ago.
The most important point yet decided
was the ruling by Judge Seeds that ques
tions In lsw must be taken up before ques
ttons of fact. The decision, as far aa it
goes, is a victory for the executors, ss It
mesns If the lllegslity of the appointment
of the administrators Is established, the en
tire proceedings of the county court will
be thrown out, In which event the executors
will not have to substantiate their charges
of conspiracy preferred against the admini
strators three weeks ago. The latter ob
jected strenuously to the ruling.
United States Senator T. M. Patterson
has been added to the array of legal talen
for the executors, snd appeared In court
. . . V . . .
thla morning, addressing the court for two
hours, in which he reviewed the esse from
the stsrt to the present time
Judge Blssei, for the executors, followed
snd ssserted that the appointment of the
administrators waa Illegal because thers
wss no ground for such action and one of
them, O. P. Grimes, is a brother-in-law of
Judge Orr, who appointed him,

Under the leadership of the new president
we are looking- for a new era of academlo
prosperity. Everything points In the dl.
rection of the gratification of this desire.
Address of Grove Clevelaad.
Former President of ths United States
Grover Cleveland followed Mr. Patton, In aa
address for tbe board of trustees. Hs spoks
ss follows:
I hope I msy be allowed to refer at the
outset to the manner In which I am moved
by the stately dignity of present surround
ings and thus give a hint of the impressive
effect which such exercises as these ara
apt to produce on those who lack personal
intimacy with university experiences and
Incidents.
This thought leads me to suggest ths
grrst importance snd desirability of In
fluencing in every posalbie wsy the plain
people of our land tn favor of higher educa
tion. It la largely from their ranks thst
recruits are to be enlisted for student
ship in our universities and colleges, and
aurely neither attenuated refinement in
educated circles nor a self-satisfied aris
tocracy among educated men ahould mis
interpret to the unlearned the mission of
these Institutions.
Manifestly they cannot, and, even if they
could, they should not, live tor theraselvea,
nor for their professors and teachers, nor
for their graduates, nor yet for the edu
cated, whoever and whereer they may be.
j on the contrary, it should never be for
sotten that our colleges and universities
cannot, without lots of their most useful
opportunities, disregard any means of com
mending the suuKlanUal advantages they
are able to offer to those less fortunate in
educational conditona.
This conception of close Interest and
reciprocal benent which should exist be
tween tbe agencies and higher education
and the unlearned masses of our people la
not new at Princeton university.
Old Idraa loo Blow.
We have fallen upon daya of rush and
charge when old lueas and processes are
deemed too slow to meet the demands ot
what Is cslled modern progress, and when
novel ar.d accelerated notions have invaded
the buslceaa, the politics, the social life
and even ths religion of our people.
How can we be ceitaln that old and
heretofore approved theories of higher
education are in no danger of being caught
In this flurry? Already there aeems to be
an Inclination abroad to adjust the methods
of university and college instruction to the
apparent needs of advanced conditions and
new exigencies.
We hsar much said la favor of but alight
