Premier Balfour Is apparently meeting
with rvnsidnrable difficulty In the task of
reconstructing his cabinet. It Is stated that
Mr. Wyndham lias been offered the choice
of several portfolios, but has decided to le

Owing to the decision that the Fifth and
Sixth army corps shall not be constructed
through the lack of necessary recruits, it
Is reported that General. Hunter, who was
named for the command of the Sixth corps

This has led to renewed rumors that Gen

commander In chief In India and the latter
will be called home to succeed Mr. Brod

disagreement with Premier Balfour's views.
writing to one of his constituents In Dur
ham City, says he Is In complete agree
ment with the free trade views with ex-
Chancellor Ritchie, who found It impossl
ble to hold office any longer In a govern

protection. Ha could not retain office with
out an entire loss of self-respect.
The time has arrived, he continued, when
the electors must decide for or against the
policy of taxing imports of food which,
though deferred for the moment, will be
the ultimate Issue. Regarding retaliation
and fiscal freedom, Mr. Idiot t agrees with

considers right, subject to the approval of
Parliament.
In conclusion he writes that he hopes to
retain the confidence of his constituents
at the general election, which cannot be

Notwithstanding their belief that the case

DIVORCE IN RUSSIA VALID
Chicago Judge Holds that In Absence
of Fraud It Must Bo
Hecoitnlsed.
CHICAGO, Sept. ?2. A F.ussian decree
of divorce has been held to be valid by
Judge Gibbons of the circuit court of this
city. Max Oraber, a Russian Hebrew, was
married to Sarah Oraber. H came to the
United States, h'i wife refusing to follow
him.
After remaining In this country five years
he returned to Russia. His wife demanded
a divorce and 500 roubles, the ante-nuptial
settlement. He came back to America, and
when he had saved the money he sent it
and a Jewish dcree of divorce to her. He
then married again.
The first wife came to Chicago and de
manded more money. Graber refused to
give any. She thereupon had him arrested
for bigamy. He was tried and found
guilty. Sentence, however, was suspended.
His attorney then made up a case to test
the validity of the Jewish decree called
"get." granted In Russia, the divorce ob
tained having been handed over to her by
a council of rabbis In solemn session In
Russia, according to the Russ'an laws.
Judge Gibbons held that In the absence of
any proof of fraud the decrea was valid
and must be recognized by the courts of
Illinois.

TRUSTED CASIt TO A STRANGER
Yonnar Man from Lincoln Proves nn
F.asy Victim to Confidence
Shnrka.
Mr. Wehster Goodwin unfolded a most
pitiful tale of misplaced confidence to the
police yesterday afternoon, lie hsd hired
to a man claiming to be a rich rjtich
owner from near Butte, Mont., to care for
his big herd of cattle through the winter
at $4j per month and found. Goodwin hud
iust come to town from Lincoln, wher
he hsd been at work and bad something
like I.X1.S0 to show for his labor. Having
secured another position and at a liberal
snlnry, he was feeling mighty good, hn
said, and when a well-dresned chap came
up lo hlin while he was lounging In front
of the Paxton hotel and told him what a,
fine fellow this Montana ranch owner was,
how many cattle he owned and how gen
erous and good hearted ho always seemed
to be to his hired help, Goodwin felt that
ho couldn't have done belter by himself
even If he had married a preacher's
daughter.
Pretty soon the Montana cattle king enme
along and seemed tickled all over to meet
the latest acquisition to his big force of
rangers.
"He called himself Stone," Goodwin toll
the police, "n.id wo walked up to the Board
of Trade IviiWMrig. When we got there
Stone suddenly r metnhered that lie only
had a check with hini, and ns lm wanted
to settle with a i oinnilssion man, he nske l
me to loan him some money. I hamlel
over three $10 bills and three ellvr dollars,
keeping the 00 cents. Stone went Into the
building leaving me on the ridewalk. I
haven't seen him since and thai was nearly
an hour ago."
After waiting on the walk for fifteen min
utes Goodwin began to think rtrange
thoughts. II concluded he was easy to
trust his few found .'rlend with sll his
wealth, and went Into see what had !
come of him. Stone was pone, no one he
hailed seemed to know where. Then Good
win thought of the police, and being
directed to the station, soon found them.
At last accounts Stone and his pal have
not been found.
DEMOCRATS ASKED TO OWN UP
Hah SnajKeat That They Answer
Truthfully When They Go to
Register.
The meeting of the Democratic Hub held
at Jsckoonian hall was well tittended list
night, nnd a great deal of enthusiasm was
displayed. The business of the meeting
was to talk over the matter of perfecting
a closer organization during the online
campaign.'- Those wW addressed the as
sembly were: ' I. J. Dunn, R. F. ' Wil
liams and J. A. Cunningham. Their re
marks were confined mainly to the subject
of closer organization In the democratic
party and to ways and mean of securing
It.
It was decided to hereafter hold the
meetings of the Hub at the club rooms In
the various wards. The Eighth ward was
chosen ns the meeting place on the next
regular meeting night, and the meeting
will be held on the same evening, and
with the regular ward club. This plan of
visiting all the wards In rotation was
adopted for the renson It Is believed that
It will enable the members of the ward
clubs to familiarize themselves with the
purposes of the Hub, nnd will also place
the members pt the central organization In
closer touch with the outside organizations.
A resolution was passed usklng every
democrat to make known his politics when
he registers. Heretofore it Is said that a
large number of democratic voters have
been In the habit of giving evasive answers
when asked with what party they affiliate,
and It Is believed that this Is poor policy.

Head of Catholic thureit In America
Received by Delegation of Priests
and Talks nf the Affairs of'

NEW YORK, Sept. ;'2.-Cari!lnal Uibhous
arrived here today on Klsvi' lihelm
aer Urossc. A ueicgation oi priests and
laymen Horn Baltimore went Cow n uu
bay un h revenue cult'-r to greet bun ami
welcome linn home. Heading the delegation'
were ltev. t. J. Slarloid of Washington,
Rev. IS. Munition ot Baltimore, una
It. U. Tibbt-tl of Baltimore, supreme presi
dent of tho Cathullc lj;nc oil ul legion.
The cardinal will remain in tins city
a Sliest al Ihu liomu of Mia. Kelly uf
Brooklyn, until Friday, w hen lm will ai
company the delegation lo Baltlmori.
When the welcoming party boarded
Kaiser Wllln-lm oft Qarantlno Mr. 'libbclt
made an addicsH of welcume, to which tho
cuidiiiul briclly rcsponed.
Another reception u waited the cardinal
when he went ashore ut Hoboken. The
pi.-r was crowded with ecclesiastical friends
from this city. From tho pier Cardinal
llhtioiiH und his party went to Ihe
1'assionist uionnstery ;it Hoboken. This
afternoon he will go to Rrooktn.
The cardinal hud a pleasant voyage nnd
lie said the ocean trip had recuperated his
strength, which had leen greatly taxed
by the severe spiil of i'cvrr ho suffered, due
to the intense brut in Rome during the
progress of Ihe conclave.
I'lensed nllli the w Pope,
Of the new pontiff, the cardinal spoke In
t.rms of the greatest enthusiasm, lie ssld
that the choice of the conclave had been
most happy from nn American viewpoint,
as 1'Iuh X was deeply Interested In the
development of tho church in this country
and was singularly familiar with American
Institutions. Tho cardinal had several
lengthy Interviews with the pope regarding
church affairs in this country.
The cardinal waa not Inclined to discuss
tho probable policy of tho new papal
regime, but snld that no radical changes In
American church administration would
ensue. Ho said that one of the first steps
taken by Plus X was to Instruct his acting
secretary of state. Mgr. Merry del Val,
to provide for nn extensive exhibit of the
Vatican treasures at the St. Louts ex
position. 4
He said' the exhibit would probably '
comprise some r.t the magnifWiit- Juhllre
girts of the lafe pontiff and a number of '
rare historical manuscripts and maps from
the Vatican library relating to the early
settlement and mission work In tho
Louisiana Purchase territory, molt of
which was penetrated by Catholic mls
nlonarles within a Quarter of a century of
the discovery of the continent.
Asked about the possibility of another
American cardinal being appointed Cardi
nal Gibbons answered:
There will be another cardinal. Tt would
not surprise me to wee the numlver of Ameri
can cardinals uiigmented In the near future.
But there Is absolutely no truth In the
cabled statement that the pope purposes to
create a patriarchate for the Occident. The
statement is ridiculous.
To the Passlonlst Fathers the cardinal
brought a special blessing from Pope Plus
X In response to the message of love and
congratulations sent to the pope by them at
the time of his election.
The Italian Situation.
Concerning the probable relations be
tween the new pope and the Italian gov
ernment Cardinal Gibbons said:
The pope as patriarch of Venice waa on
friendly terms with the king, but what n
man does when he is a mere private lit the
ranks, so to speak,; and when he is ele
vated to power and responsibility are dif
ferent things. Whut Plus X will do In this
matter. Is of course unknown. You may
rely on it, there will be no sudden changes.
These things are not done In a way to at
tract attention. If a change does take
place. It will he a gradual change, tho
irtendllnesH between the Vatican and the
Qulrlnul will grow. Plus X Is not the pa
triarch of Venice, and while he may retain
his friendly feelings for the king, these
feelings will cause no sudden change of
papal policy, but will probably In the
course of time bring about a better stale
of things. The king. I believe. Is Influenced
bv very kindly feelings toward the pope.
