(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) That the manner In which a United States embassy Is housed has much to do with the Importance attached to the ambassador Is shown by the attention given Ambassa dor McCormlck at St. Petersburg.

BERLIN, April 4 Much criticism has been heard In diplomatic circles because the embassies of the United States In Eu rope were not housed in accordance with the importance of the country. It has been explained that pretentious houses were not leased because the ambassador bad to pay the refit from his own pocket, but it has been hard for Europe to understand that the United 8tates makes no allowance for Its diplomatic corps to entertain. For the first time the embassy of the United States here Is to be In a palatial residence belonging to a nobleman of high rank, now In reduced circumstances. The new ambassador, Charlemagne Tower, be cause of his great wealth, has been able to have fitted up an embassy worthy of his country. Ambassador Tower's new home Is ono of the finest private buildings In Ber lin. It Is botng decorated in a most sr tlstlc manner under his supervision. He Is planning to make the embassy atBerlin the most brilliant In all Europe. His palace windows overlook the stately Reichstag building and the colossal Bis marck statue. The new ambassador Intends entertaining on a most lavish scale. He regrets that the reception and dining rooms are not large enough fof entertainments upon a scale to meet his ambition. STARTS TO PURIFY THE STAGE French Heaator Propose to Organise Demonstrations Aitalnst 1 decent Plays. (CopyrlRht, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, April 4. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) "If we had In Paris a great newspaper to champion the purity of the stage, a hlSBlng organisa tion against indecent plays would not be necessary," said Senator Beranger today In talking of the hissing brigades which he la contemplating, the prospect of which has caused a commotion here. Senator Beranger s the father of the measure known as the Beranger law and the president of the Society for the Purity Of the Public Streets. He is known and revered throughout Prance. "I am glad of the opportunity to make clear," the senator continued, "the real tentlment of France on the subject. True itage censorship has become such a mock fry that I have favored organised hissing. Put there Is no formal organisation yet. No law permitting biasing Is needed. Buy ing a ticket give the right to blss. The privilege is undisputed. But one mini's hissing starts a riot and be Is ejected as Disorderly. Right-minded men and women must act together. Then the police will not dare to Interfere. "There Is a aort of freemasonry among authors and Journalists here, and often the latter produce the worst plays, so no help somes from that direction. "The amall theaters are the worst offend ers, and the nudity la aa bad as the words, even in the children's spectacles. At the Chatele there la the Bacchus ballet, and at the opera the new 'Orpbee au Enferes.' "The play, 'L'Homme a L'Orellle Cassee,' at the Theater Athenee was the worst violation of censorship In recent years, but I have secured a change in the lines. 1 have young men who will report stage Indecency, and on their reports being veri fied.

(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. Ireland again occupies the center of the political stage In the I'nlted Kingdom. All eyes are concentrated ou the unprecedented eitua tlon created there by the British cabinet's complete change cf policy. The King's plan to vllt Ireland next August Is regarded as signal evidence of his satisfaction at the turn auairs uau iikfii. uiik7 uiur iw his direct Influence the land bill, though needing extensive amendments to make it workable. Is regarded by Irishmen as the strongest evidence of the ministry's good intentions. Then the grsnt for Irish development of "KO.noo a year Is intended to be the founda tion for the home rule edifice. An Irish au thority representative of all sections and classes to be created later on to manage this money is to be followed by the form ing of a national legislative council a parliament in all but the name to manage exclusively Irish affaire. The munificent offer of W. J. Plrrle and Lord Iveagh to eetablish a system of trans portation, without profit to themselves, throughout Ireland In order to enable the farmers to get their produce rheaply to market Is made by them In recognition of the Improved siate of feeling throughout Ireland between the hitherto hostile classes. The Idea of the scheme Is to feed the rail ways by motor vans from the country dis tricts, to free existing canals and to canalize certain rivers. Lord Iveagh, a multi-millionaire. Is pre pared to eink $20,000,000 In those projects. Nothing could be more significant of the condition of Ireland than the announcement that all recruiting for the police Is stopped, the police being a mainstay of the evil system now abandoned. Of course, acci dents may happen to prevent the fruition of the new policy. The government may be defeated on some English measure. The Irish convention may (though this Is Im probable) adopt a captious attitude toward the land bill. In the latter event the gov ernment would drop the bill. Chief Sec retary Wyndham, Viceroy Dudley and the under secretary, Sir Antony MacDonnell, who are personally Identified with the new regime, would throw up their offices and affairs would fall back Into the old rut. But the outlook le vastly more hopeful now than when Gladstone Introduced bis home rule bill. Then the unionists were savagely hostile. Now the liberals are will ing to help the unionists In the work of pacification. SHOWS THE BRITISH A HUSTLE American Contractor Maklnsr Head way Which Surprises the IsOadoners. (Copyright, 1903. by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, April 4. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) James C. Stewart, who first made the British work man hustle in building the great Westing house works at Manchester, is now giving London contractors an object lesson In lightning methods of construction st the great electric power works lor the Metro politan railway. The tallest chimney stack In London la growing up at such a rate as to make Eng lish rivals gasp with amazement. It is to be finished in two months, while under an English) contractor it would take nearly eight. Mr. Stewart says: "It Is all done by kindness and good wages for good work." Charlea T. Yerkes has Just opened seven miles more of his Intramural electric street rallray system, connecting London with Hampton court and running through one of the prettiest parts of London's environs. Mr. Yerkes' company has thirty miles open, with aeventy more under construction. "I have been around the world a good deal," Mr. Yerkes says, and I have found that London Is the most backward In trans- portatlon of any city I have seen. I am ! doing my best to remedy that state of af fairs, and In three years I hope to have 100 miles of tramway In operation." Mr. Speyer says halT the capital for these projects has bean rslsed in America be cause England would not provide It. Birmingham university, whose principal. Sir Oliver Lorig. la an eminent scientist, has adopted the American system of edu cation, holding that the metallurgical engineer and not the metallurgical chemist Is the man of the future. This announce ment was made at a meeting of the British Iron Tradea association, at which the lead ing topic of discussion was how to keep from falling further behind in the race with the United States.

(Copyright, 1D03. by Press Publishing Co.) IjONDON, April ' 4. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) It Is thought probable that King Edward will change the da.e of his nsxt court, May 8, In order to avoid Interfering with the great fancy drees ball which Mrs. Adair, for merly of New York, Is to give to Inaugurate the Ixndon season. Each viadrllle, con sisting of ten persons, will represent some picturesque period of dress. Lady Barrymore, her sister, la arrang ing an Irish square dance. In which the costumes worn will be those of the Irish queens and the princes of Tyrconnell, cop led from ancient manuscript In the Hiber nian academy at Dublin. The countess of Warwick will lead the pompadour quadrille. Lady Barrymore will give a ball May 4 for the debut of her pretty daughter, Nel lie Post. Few girls have had the promise of so brilliant a season as Miss Post, with her beautiful mother for her chaperon, and her aunt, Mrs. Adair, to take her every where. She la the onvy of many English girls. She Is extremely clever and charm ing, with ready wit. In Dublin she was greatly .admired and made many friends in her three weeks' visit at the castle as the guest of the vice royalties. I Mr. and Mrs. Moreton Frewen's daugh ter, Clare, will also be brought out at Lady Bnrryraore's ball. She Is very bright and has a winning manner and most mis chievous eyes. Although her mother does not take ber out much herself during the season, her aunta. Mrs. George Cornwallls West and Mrs. "Jack" Leslie, give her a good time. Mrs. West Is arranging several young people's parties for her at her house In Great Cumberland Place, and she will be presented at the first court In May by ber mother. West Too Familiar. "Smart" society is still eagerly dis cussing the trouble between Mrs. George Cornwallls West (Lady Randolph Churchill) and the Irish viceroy and vlcerlne. It seems that the Dudleys are very ceremoni ous when In Ireland, and that even Lord Dudley's mother has to curtsy to him when she enters room where he rs. Yeting George West, unmindful of these royal for malities, asked an aide-de-camp to tell "Eddy" that Is the viceroy, the earl of Dudley to come and play golf. This unpardonable offense made the whole vice regal court shudder and the Wests got the cold shoulder for the remainder of their atay In Dublin. King Edward natu rally takes the Dudleys' side, aa It was a slight to his personal representative. Mrs. Ogden OoeleJ. Is coming to London early this month.

"That was Just before the Russo-Turklsh war," he says. "Then, aa now, thero were diplomatic negotiations among the ppwers. Everything now depends on the nature of the Austro-Russian agreement.

General von Hahnke, appointed a field marshal In the German army to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the king of Saxony, waa once' a acapegoat for Emperor William. Some two yeara ago the emperor made a speech to the Czar Alcxsnder II regiment so fiery and warlike that there was an Im mediate outcry, not alone in Germany, but In all Europe. At that time Von TIahnke was the chief of the emperor's military cabinet, a prime favorite of his sovereign, and regarded aa one of hta most Influential advisers, the closest man In the army to the emperor. In looking for some one upon whom to place the responsibility for his Impolitic speech, the emperor fixed upon Oeneral von Hahnke and dismissed him. He wss succeeded by General Hurlson von Haseler. Von Hshnke quietly took the entire re sponsibility for the emperor's speech and so impressed the emperor with his bearing under the circumstances that he was made governor of Berlin.

(Special Telegram.) The submission of uo count Hut looal amendments by this IcglRlsture Is the prob able outcome of a resolution submitted to tiie house by Seezy of Adnns, which pre cipitated the first elai.h of the session be tween the house .nnd renatc. I he affair tranxplred nt the ulglu session, which closed bhortly before 12 o'clock. The house finished its clay's work at 11:40 and the senate at 11.30. Kach ditched all of Its respective bills not advanced by the re spective sifting committees, leaving only house rolls in the senate nnd senate tiles In the Iioubc, ruough, ho.vever, officers of I he bodies say, to prolong the session until Friday night. Fully lf0 I.oubo bills and nearly lot) senate files tell in the debris. The clash between the bouse and senate arose when the senate returned Swcczy's bill, which cut luto the ;at:i for print ing constitutional amendments, amended so an to restore the old fates. Imme dlaiely JSweezy arose and offered a resolu tion providing thai the house nonconcur in the smute umend'nent nnd thnt "It be the Henne" of the houne that anless the senate recede, no i onstitutlonul umeiid.nenta be submitted by this legislature. I'.y cn over- whelming vote the resolution v,aa adopted. The senate was informed of the house action and refused to yield. When thla word came to the house Gilbert of Douglas moved :hat the house recall its vote on the Swcezy resolution, ite, 1 ouglas of Rock and loomls of ,'JoIgo uoouird to strike the keynote when they catd that while the yie.y ulll night nave been meritorious. If nas not as vital to the state aa ctr- . tain constitutional ainendmenta proposed. Sweozy's renolttlon was referred to as "boy's play." The of-pouh-.g urgument waa that the slate had expended a great desl of ttioney In futile attempts to soeure ehiingcs in its ovlgiuul !): nnd there was no more ffssurpnee uow of carrying any of these amendments. A constitutional con vention was preferred anyway. The Gil bert mctlon was lost. Notwithstanding this eltuation, the sen ate proceeded to psss five constitutional amendment bills and tranHraittd them to the house, where they vr read for till first time. Sweezy is supported in his action by he large farmer clement cf the house, whlih is known to bo inimical to I the constitutional umen iment measure pro I vitling fnr Increases !n the salaries of the judges of the supreme lourt. If this resolu tion stands, and It i.eems tt will, the larmers will have won their fight. Governor Mickey, who witnessed the proceedings In the house, expressed the hope that some reconciliation could be effected. He think the state Is in great need of constitutional bmcmlmerts whose passage ho thlnka la assured If the new ballot law Is enacted. Howell Turns Trick. Senator Howell has rtolen a march that i w-.i make ,ne county surveyor of Dougla i 00nt. exofflclo engineer and confer upon him the sweeping power of controlling all improvements of roads, bridges, etc.. In.- I riudlng making of estimates, plans and all details. Howell accomplished the roup by tacking f nto II. R. 94 an amendment mak ing It apply to Douglas as well as Lancaster county. These provisions are contained In this bill. The house concurred In the i trna, amendments without knowing what j ,h(iy w,r8. That is how Howell succeeded ; lD doiui( precisely what the Douglas oounty men tn the house opposed when the bill was under debate In the bouse. Warner of Lancaster Is author of the bill. Tn In quiry has facetiously been made: "Does Howell, who is a civil engineer by profession, expecv to become county surveyor, or bas he some other design of fiat kind?" Howell's futile attempt to secure for himself the position of commissioner of the water board crested under his act com pelling Omaha to buy the waterworks. gave rise to tne inquiaiuveness as iu uis motives In this case. ; ; For Ilenellt of nallrond. ; ,t,, fc Freil(leDt Pro-tem Harrt- gon D( Uie senate.
