ROME. Sept. Ki.-iNew York World Cable
gram. Fpe-lal Telegram.) Timely with the
arrival of Cardlnel Olsons In New York In
the expression recently urn d by Pope Plus X
regarding his conference with the American
cardinal. "I have learned more," he snld.
"about the church In America hy several
convr.citlons with Cardinal Gibbons than I
ever CM fiom oil the reports of the propa
ganda." Huch sn expression from Plus X Is not
without significance, and every one In Rome
Is firmly convince J that, regarding the
church In the United States, the new pope
Is thoroughly In sympathy with the liberal
views of the American cardinal and the
party wiilili he represents in the Catholic
i hierarchy of his country.
There Is no denying that the American
bishops, no matter how much united In
matters of dogma, are divided -Into two
(n.stlnct classes rrg.iruing cnurcn pounce.
The so-called "llbersl" party, whose fore
most representatives are Cardinal Olbbons
"a. id Archbishop Ireland, favors a liberal
policy In the conduct of church affairs In
America that will be more In keeping with
the surroundings and the enlightened In
telligence of tho American people. ,
The other rrty, which was responsible
for Leo XIII condemnation of so-called
Americanism. Ik represented by those who
wish to see Introduced In America all the
customs qf the church us they obtain In
J'athollc countries, notwithstanding the fact
that the surroundings and the condition of
I the people are totally different.
Contest Oirr Archbishop.
Tha silent war continually going on be
tween the two parties finds a permanent
Held of contention In the influence which
Is brought to bear In Rome regarding the
selection of candidates for promotion and
appointment.- Just at present tha bone, of
contention Is tha appointment of a new
archbishop of Milwaukee, for which place
several candidates have been named. The
liberal party among the hierarchy favors
the appointment of Bishop Spalding of
Peoria, whoso lPwrwl views are well known
all river Iho.worirrT-antr rsprrlally in Ilorae,
where some of the cardinals of the propa
ganda consider him In rrcnt part responsi
ble for the origin of Americanism in the
church. Of tho group of cardinals opposed
to him, Hatolll and Martinet)!, both former
apostolic delegate to the United States, are
the most prominent.
It Is well known In this connection that
both tho former apostolic delegates are
looked upon by many In Rome and in the
TTnlted M'.ates as really detrimental to the
best Interests of the curies In America.
Under the preceding pope they held much
Influence, for Io XIII when at sea re
garding the solution of many of the difficul
ties of the American church, relied entirely
on the advice and experience of his former
representatives at Washington, who were
the only onea he could consult and who
therefore had things their own way.
Cardinal Gibbon se'aora went to Rome,
and even then local Influence made his ad
vice and opinion of little value In the coun
cils of the Vatican. Now that Plus X has
(shown a partiality for. the American car
dinal's point of view, It Is freely predicted
that a more libera! policy In the conduct
of the ecclesiastical affairs of America will
begin, and that the Influence of Batolli and
Murtlnei:i will be much curtailed.
Changes at tho Vatican.
Gradually but surely Plus X la getting
rid of the numerous employes of the Vati
can who found favor under predecessor.
Cardinal Rampolla has practically disap
peared from Rome. It Is said, and Is at
present In a monastery, recuperating from
the worries undergone since the time when
Leo XIII was first taken 111. Count Pecol,
L the nephew of Pope Leo, haa given up his

and haa been sm-ceedV, by rrince Ros-

former conclavist and the other Mgr. Pea

haa also been replaced by Gornatl. the
Milanese valet of Cardinal Sarto In Venice

BALL00N1STS ARE CONFIDENT
Talk of Transatlantic Trip as Brio
Practically Certain of
Success.
(Cope-right, 19B, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, Sept. ar,-(New Tork World Ca
blegrsm Special Telegram.) "I expect to
accompany Rcchus and Capazzn In their
balloon trip across the Atlantic oceiin,"
ftfild Haron Alphonse Berget to the World
correspondent today. "The expedition will
coat st least ll.noo.pon. Nothing but fui'.ure
to raise thst sum of money will prevent us
from essaying to carry o'jt the enterprise. '
The . baron Is the, professor on physical
geography at the Sorbonne, nnd It was one
of his lectures on the trsde wlnils tha' put
the Idea of this transatlantic airship voyage
Into the head of the eminent geographer,
Ellse Rechus, who enlisted the aeronaut,
Louis Capaxza and Baron Berget In the
project.
"I believe the trip Is perfectly feasible,"
the baroil went on. "The course has been
determined by a careful research Into the
meteorological conditions." Here Baron
Berget showed the correspondents a pilot
chart of the Atlantic ocean with arrows In
dicating the direction of the winds In vari
ous months of the year. Long arrows
showed winds of steady duration, short
ones showed the direction, but indicated
Intermittent currents.
"In this continued line of long arrows
leading from the Canaries direct to the
Gulf of Mexico." the baron exp'alned. "we
know In advance for a certainty that winds
blow constantly from the Canaries along a
route exactly similar to that taken by
Columbus. The trip could be made from
Lisbon with three chances of success) in
seven. From Madrid the chances of suc
would be five in seven. From the
Canaries the proportion Is twenty-eight In
thirty."
"But Aeronaut Fondvlelle suggests start
ing from the Azores," remarked the corre
spondent. "
"Fondvlelle Is a fine aeronaut," replied
Berget, "but hi statement shows that he
never studied meteorological conditions.
There Is Dractlrally no wind at the Azores,
that being the point of highest atmospheric
pressure, the air currents always being ir
regular. Starting from the Canaries we
know what to expect. And for the dura
tion of the voyage, I woujd predict four
days as the shortest and twelve the long
est. The balloon would have a capacity of
about 630,000 cubic feet, which is not ex
traordinary as to dimension, for during the
exposition at Paris In 1878 ascents were
made with a balloon of 800,000 cubic feet,
taking up more than 100 persons at a time.
We shall take a skipper and two sullors to
man the boat which we shall take along In
case of accidents.
"The observations which will be possible
during the trip will be of the greatest In
terest to the meteorological wor'.d, and If
our theories are borne out there Is no rea
son why such trips could not be made regu
larly at favorable seasons of the year."
TESTIMONY FAVORS LAMBTON
Naval Man Ilaa Better of Squabble
with General Hunter Over
Artillery.
(Copyright. 1903, by Press Publishing Co.)
LOKDOW,' ,. 1N'"' TorkkjTovM
Cablegram Special Telegram.) The who'.e
weight of the testimony was against uen
eral Hunter, who asserted before the war
commission that the handling of the naval
guns at Ladyerolth waa bad. The squabble
between him and Admiral Lambton Is
merely an echo of the feud that raged be
tween the naval and the military men at
Ladysmlth.
The arrival of the naval guns on that
mournful Monday, the day 6f the Nichol
sons nek surrender, undoubtedly saved
the town from a decisive assault. The
military, however, grew Jealous of the
praise showered on the . tnen -.apiam
Lambton and his handy men from the
cruiser Powerful and Lambton oys that
as the siege proceeded the military gradu
ally began to deny tnat me navai
had been of any value whatever.
Hunter said In his evidence before the
commission that he told Lambton he would
get school glrs to aim his guns better.
When this evidence was read over to him
Lambton said he had to deal with many
nvmbskulls in Lndysmlth and Hunter was
one. When the evidence was published
Lambton asked and got permission from
Lord Charles Beresford. his superior In
command of the channel fleet, to send a
communication to the press stating that
he had demanded an apology from Hunter.
Th1 was a breach1 of regulations, both on
the part of Beresford and of Lambton, for
which both were severely nauieo ovW ...
coals by the admiralty, while the king
himself Intervened, ordering both Lambton
and Hunter to keep silence.
There Is always Jealous rivalry between
the army and the navy, which Is intensified
by the fact that the people have a much
higher opinion of the latter than of the
former.

DL'BLIN, Sept. K. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) The duke
of Manchester succeeds "The Cotton Lord
of Manchester"' In the, possession of Kyle
more castle: the, young nobleman who mar
ried Miss Helena Zimmerman of Cincinnati,
V. S. A., has bought the beautiful residence
and estate which Mitchell Henry reared and
created on the edge of lovely Lough Kyle
more, Connemara, County Oalway. The
duke Is to be congratulated on securing one
of the most desirable country places in
Great Britain end none the less because he
paid only 1316.O0O for all that cost the for
mer owner millions. ,
Mitchell Henry was a power In the cotton
market forty years ago. He bought cotton
by the crop; he had business houses In I
Belfast and Manchester: he was called '
"Tho Cotton Lord of Manchester;" his In
fluence reached out to New Orleans and
Calcutta. Bom of an aristocratic family
of the Isle of Wight, Mitchell Henry made
a great fortune.
To rear his castle, to create his estate, he
sought the wildest section of Connemara
then; the lovely seclusion of tho "Twelve
Pins," or Beno. one long mountain with
twelve peaks rising from it at regular Interr
vals, of which the highest, Ben Baun, Is
2,400 feet above the sea level. There he
bought l.li'rO acres of hind.
One purpoue was to give him a political
foothold, and in consequence he became a
member of Parliament and held the seat
six years. But Mitchell Henry had another
purpose to build a country homo, and he
bullded so well that lately rumor has often
pointed to romantic Kylemoro castle as a
probable royal residence, for the king has
no residence In Ireland and wants one.
Mitchell Henry selected a site In a valley,
but the valley was not wide enough. He
employed an army of laborers, workmen
and masons. He cut away half of Diamond
mountain (so named because, tradition has
It. diamonds of a peculiar lustre were found
there long ago). He bought steamers which
carried building materials from Galway
across Galway bay. And In the verdant
valley, on the edge of the lough, he reared
the i caqtle. ........ ,Ve -
Garden nra Wonderful.
He erected fine stables and also conserva
tories whose orchids and tropical plants
were famous. He preserved the salmon
and trout In the lake and river and there ia
no better fishing In Ireland now. His shel
tered gardens weye and are' wonderful, for
the moist heat of the gulf stream matures
the soli and the sheltered situation protects
Its products.
In these gardens trees flourish, shrubs and
flowers of bursting vigor and splendid
growth. Palms and rare ferns grow there
the year round, for they need no shelter In
this mild climate. The roads have double
fuchsia hedges, twelve feet high, which
would be worth a fortune anywhere but In
Connemara.
Mitchell Henry collected rare tpees and
planted the mountain side with them as
well as the valley around his buildings. One
who drives through the finely wooded de
mesne passes vast banks of rhododendrons
and hydrangeas in bloom. The castle Is fit
to be. tenanted tomorrow; the place Is
Ideal.
Many of the peasantry had been evicted
from tho neighborhood, but Mitchell Henry
gathered a tenantry and the duke of Man
Chester will find a village ready made at
his hand.
Mrs. Henry waa a good, charitable re
Ugioua woman, the daughter of George
Vaughn, Esq., of Qullly House, County De
von. At ner request ner nusoana bunt a
chapel near the castle. To this delightful
spot Mitchell Henry repaired for not more
than two or three months In the year,
Sometimes he did not visit Castle Kyle
more In three or four years. He died a
few years ago and the estate haa been in
the market since then.
Here the young duke can orrer a more
princely hospitality than at his ancestral
castle, Fanderagee, County Armagh. Lucky
tha guest. American or English, whom the
duke Invites to Castle Kylemore.
Not the least of his diversions will be In
testing the famous echo. For to one who
sUnte on the edge of the lake and cries
out comes back an echo from the moun
tains, multiple, reverberating that dins his
ears.

(Cop right, 19, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS. Sept. MHScw York World
Cablegram Special Teh gram.) Among tho
working classes of Pans there Is no m re
coquettish member than the Jaunty little
washerwoman, the "Rlanchlsseua Parlsi
enne." She carries her basket on her arm
or her bundles swung over her shoulder In
the airiist way as she trips along, and to
see her one would never y 'late her with
suap and suds. She Is f . bareheaded,
but with her hair dop- tind befrlzzleU
in the most bewltcr" ijPniMlest fashion,
and nearly always ecars a "smart,"
cheap little cost K A good taste and
very becoming, x, ribbon or a bit of
tullo stuck so re as a finishing at

She may ut or burn one's clothes
In a trice , she is the airiest, most
obliging lu person In -her talk imagi
nable. She knows how to explain away all
missing articles or to account In the most
plausible, polite fashion to ono not having
received clothes on the day asked for.
In the ironing room sho looks as fresh as
a rose. She bends over the Ironing board
with a little song on her Hps, and kneps
half an eye on the -street door for a pass
ing flirtation. In tho window there Is
always a bouquet of flowers and frequently
a sleek tat curled up. On the wall hangs
some gay little Illustrated calendar. Some
times a plaster of a Punchinello sits upon
tho shelf. Very often a canary hangs in
the front shop window and chirps while tho
little washerwoman sings to a brisk movA
ment of her iron. "
It Is eusy enough to associate the Pari
shin washerwoman with a romance. There
is no hint of soapy, red elbows about her,
The washing all appears to be done sub
rosa and she looks as If she wera always
on dress parade. In fact, there la no end
of small Tarla r.mourets In which the wash
erwoman plays one of the principal parts.
In the Latin quarter It frequently happens
that a passerby In the street sees
student of the Sorbonne flirting over his
linen with the washer of It In the little
laundries that abound in the quarter. Aa
j a rule the blanchlsseus doe not envy the
sewing girl her lot. Sho Is much more
carefree, sings more and has a greuter
number of opportunities to trot the street,
basket on arm, flinging bright, malicious
glances or bon mots at her male acquaint
ances as she trips along In her hlgh-heelod
shoe. The Parisian washerwoman Is one
of the distinctive types of the city, under
standing perfectly what It is to be "chic"
and gay on a few sous.

BALFOUR TO POSTPONE DISSOLUTION
Edward Boys Oot the Brown Family
In Order to Get Them Off
the Royal Estate at
' Balmoral.
(Copyright, 19.3, by Tress Publishing Co.)
LONDON. Sept. 26. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Tho British
cabinet crisis has been a most mysterious
affair. Never before haa It taken so long
to fill three places In any cabinet. The de
lay Is accounted for solely by King Edward
refusing to accept offhand, and, as a matter
of course. Prime Minister Balfour's recon
struction scheme, which was prearranged
with Mr. Chamberlain.
The. war commission report made a pro.
found impression on the king, who shares
the public d.strust of the present ministry,
and he Insisted on an attempt to introduce
new blood Instead of tho mere dummy
Dlacemen Mr. Bulfour proposed. If there
were a strong united liberal opposition un
der an undisputed leader, the king would
have gone to the extreme length of revis
ing the long disused constitutional pre
rogative of dismissing the ministry alto
gether. But, there being no alternative, he
Is trying to make the belt of a bad bus!
ness. The irony of the situation Is that
when Lord Salisbury resigned aa a protest
against the king's Interference In minis
terlal affairs Mr. Balfour refused to sup
port his uncle.
The kings principal adviser Is Lord
Esher, formerly Bailol Brett, M. P., the Jn
of the late master of the rolls, and at one
time private secretary to the duke of
Devonshire. He has attained within the
last few years extraordinary Influence Over
the king, chiefly by reason, It Is said, of
his taste for court ceremonial and page
antry, and his stage management of the
coronation. But he la also a man of talent.
Kaher aa In willing Victim.
Unable to repay him adequately for his
services, the king got Blr Ernest Cassel
to take him into his financial firm. In
spired largely by Cassel, Esher drew up a
memorandum In his capacity of a member
of the war commission, suggesting a re
organization of the War office on a busi
ness basts.
This attracted considerable attention aa
the only practical outcome of that
Inquiry and when Mr. Balfour proposed
tha . a modiarre . party".".; back.
Arnold Forster, the present financial
secretary to the admiralty, be promoted to
be war secretary, the king suggested Esher
aa an alternative. Mr. Bulfour kicked
against this proposal all this week, while
Efcher himself did not Xeel inclined to give
up his lucrative position In Cassel's firm to
Join a moribund administration and face
the all but impossible task of reforming the
War office. The king sent for Cassel to go
to Balmoral and got him to promise that
Esher's position should be kept open. Esher
then heslta'1 to face the ordeal of being
forced' on the cabinet. ,
The king also Insisted that Mr. Balfour
should press Lord Milner, to take the colo
nial secretaryship, instead of the deadhead,
Lord Selborne, who never would have been
trusted with any post but for being Lord
Salisbury's son-in-law. Lord Milner de
clined positively on the ground that he de
sired to return to South Africa to finish his
wdrk there.
The salient feature of the crls.s has been
the leading part the king is playing and his tnson will march to Sidney, Neb., and
adoption almost of the autocratic attitude thence to Fort Riley by rail. The troops
of his nephew. Kaiser Wilhelm. from Fort Reno will proceed by rail to

Postpones Dissolution.
Mr. Balfour does not Intend to dissolve
for another year unless soma unexpected
development arises.
"It will take me twelve months to work
up the constituencies and government, and
twelve mouths to live down the War
commission report,'' is the summing up
of the prospect attributed to Mr.
Chamberlain. Tho only doubtful element
in Parliament Is the action of the free
trade unionists. Mr. Balfour intends to
secure himself against their possible de
fection by introducing a couple of Irish re
forms, which the Irish party cannot afford
to refuse and will support the government
In all emergencies to secure. Besides. If the
Irish party assisted the liberals to force a
dissolution In the present state of pqhlle
feeling, the latter might get a majority so
large as to render them independent of the
Irish party In the next Parliament.
Alarming rumors concerning the king
were flying about Thursday night, based
upon the departure of Sir Frederick Treves
for Balmoral. But the' famous surgeon's
presence was subsequently explained by
the statement that the king desired to
consult him respecting some suggested re-
f orn s In the army medical department.
The king la in excellent health, but great
trouble Is experienced in preventing him
from eating too much. He has been
especially warned against the flavored deli
cacies his particular friend, the marquis
of Soveral, has a talent for preparing.
The king comes of a family of heavy eat
ers. Queen Victoria had an astounding
appetite. When sho fancied a dish she
would have two or three helpings, without
Interfering with the execution she did on
the remainder of the repast.
One of the first things the king did on
his first visit to Balmoral after his acces
sion was to have the marble statue of
John Brown, erected by Queen Victoria,
carted away to tho pretty cottage pre
sented by the queen to her favorite serv
ant's family. The king has now gone a
stop further by buying out the Brown
family, and getting them off the royal
estate 'altogether.
John- Brown and hli kin are Intensely
disliked by all the royal family, who re
sented the Influence the unlettered old boor
exercised over Queen Victoria. Because the
queen backed him up In his insulting
pretensions the late Empress Frederick
never visited her mother for thirty years,
while the late duk of Edinburgh never
went to Balmoral for eighteen years be
fore his death.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2.-Wlthdrawl of
the American warships from , Beyroot
seems unlikely for the present. In view of a
cablegram received at the State depart-'
ment today from Minister Irishman, st
Constantinople, stating that, although his,
advices frorr Beyroot Indicate that the sit
uation la quiet Just now, nothing like per
manent order bus been established.
Mr. Lelshman says that the state of af-,
fairs there may yet be regarded as uncer-'
tain.
H Is Indicated In Mr. Irishman's cable,
gram that the departure of tho wsrshlpn
might be the occasion for a renewnl of the
riots. This conllrms the opinion held here
by state department officials that the tnilet
at Beyroot Is due directly to the presence of
American warships oft that port.
Minister Lelshmiin adds that the new
governor of Beyroot Is actively Inaugurat
ing reforms there, but that it Is not yet'
certain ho will be able to handle the sit
uation. Rear Admiral Cotton, commanding the
European squadron, cables the Nay de
partment, under date of Beyroot. Septem
ber 26, that Beyroot is. quiet and that the
case of tho American vlco consul Is still
pending.
Bnlaarlan Army Active.
PHILIPPOPOLIS, Bulgaria. Sept. 26.
The rumors current yesterday that Bul
garia would send an ultimatum to Turkey
setting forth that unless satisfactory as
surances were received that the Ottoman
troups would be withdrawn immediately
from tho Bulgurlan frontier. Bulgaria
would forthwith mobilize her whole army,
were caused by the mobilization of a regi
ment of engineers. The divisional head
quarters here are Inclined to regard the
situation as being more serious and prepa
rations aro iK'Ing made for a mobile force
to take tho field. Tbtre is little excitement,
though tho streets present an animated
spectacle cs the reservists march off to
Join their regiments. The mobilisation can
be completed In six days.
The Bulgarian war office has received
Information In the evont of hostilities the
Turks will make a dagj and endeavor, lo
seize the Shlpka pati R, gainst which con
tingency strong: BuIgSAVth forces are now '
held In reserve, -
Amnesty Granted on Surrender.
I'SKUB, Macedonia. Friday. Sept. 26.-U
Is reported that s. proclamation is to be
issued announcing the granting of amnesty
to surrendering Bulgarians and the adop
tion of more stringent measures as to rc
crnlsants. The Greek village of Manastlr have
been forbidden to receive In future Bul
garian women and children refugees unless
thry are accompanied by their men folk
bringing rifles.
Snow In Mountain Ranees.
MONABTIR. Macedonia. Bept. 2S.-(V1
Solla. Bulgaria, Sept. 3(5.) Snow haa fallm
on the higher mountain ranges and the
refugees mUBt either leave their hiding
places or suffer the greatest hardships.
Tho Turkish troops continue to slaughter
refugees who return to their former homes
at the Invitation of the government, which
promises them protection. Near the village
bf Zlntan, in the neighborhood of Resna,
troops found fifteen returned refugees
working in a field. They bound their
hands, drove them Into a ditch and massa
cred fourteen of the peasants. One of
them survived his wounds.
Tho refugee women subsequently dis
covered the bodies and carried tha sur
vivor before the lieutenant governor of
Resna, who refused to hear their story.
Ono hundred and twenty Bulgarians, in
cluding four priests, who had been exiled
by' the Turkish authorities, left Monartlr
yesterday.
Sees Kvldeuce of Duplicity.
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept, 20. Tho. personnel
0f the sultan new Macedonian commls-
slon Is alleged here to be an indication of
the insincerity of the porte's Intention.
The Bulgarian representative, Nicol Reboff,
a mcmlter of the court of Justice at Monas
tlr, la HO years old, and haa been for many
years an official of the Turkish govern
ment With the exception of Hllml Pasha,
the inspector general, who Is president of
the commlssslon, none of the others haa
any prominence or influence. The fact that
the Bulgarian population of Maoedonla Is
given only one representative is held hero
to show that the porte has not accepted
the demands made by the Sofia govern
ment. Negotiations between the porte and SoP.u
are reported to bo still proceeding, but the
situation appears to remain unchanged.
In view of tho fact that the powers de
cided to answer the Bulgarian note. It is
doubtful if next week's meeting between
the cxar and Emperor Francis Joseph will
cause any material change of policy.
The report that Captain Tchernoppeff,
the captor of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the
American missionary, had been killed 1
untrue.
The Macedonian committees have planned
an Imposing demonstration for tomorrow.
There will be a requiem mass at tho ca
thredral, followed by a procession through
the streets, carrying black banners and
portraits of the Macedonian leaders who
have been killed during the Insurrection.
