Notwithstanding all the pressure brought to bear to persuade the pope to receive President Loubet on bla forthcoming vlnlt to Kome, Plus X haa de cided not to receive him. It la not because of tha condition existing between the Va'lcan and the Qulrlnal, nor because the French president la not a member of a royal family, oa other chiefs of republican tales havj been received at the Vatican, ven after they had paid visits to tho king of Italy. The real reason is to be found In the attitude of the French government toward the church, and the extraordinary measures taken to deprive religious orders of their properties and rights. To a French bishop who recently came to Rome and who waa trying to persuade the pope to receive Ijoubet, Flue X replied: "No matter what the cost will be, we cannot receive tha French president.

J HOW PRINCESS GOT DIVORCE Mad a Shewing to Csar Which Brutul Haabaad Could Kot Relate. (Copyright. 1904, by Tress Publishing Co.) VIENNA. Jan. . (New Tork World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) Rustend Pasha, formerly the Turkish ambassador sA London, relate to the World corre spondent th following sensational episode In the life of the late Princes Mathllde, with whom he was on terms of close friend ship: Prince Andtoto Demldoff. her husband. was the son of a manufacturer of arms, who amassed, on enormous fortune. When the princes promised to marry the count he had her beautiful hand, clasped In his own, carved in marble, with the Inscrip tions "Forever." Boon after the marriage the princess de cided that she could not endure tha cruel treatment of her Russian husband. She was exceedingly popular In St. Petersburg society, but her husband held her aloof from it, using every means to prevent her seeing the cxar. One winter night, ' when Demldoff waa very .certain, for good reasons, that the princes would not follow, he went to a court ball In the winter palace. Th re ception and presentation were Just over and the dancing was about to begin, when the' princess, unattended and alone, en tered the ball room In a magnificent white toilet, all her Jewels about her graceful person. She walked majestically up to the tsar, at whose feet she knelt. Then with drawing tha lace scarf that covered her bare shoulders and 'bowing her head low she displayed her white back, streaked all over with bloody mark left by her hus band's whip, and with uplifted hands begged the csar to rid her of the man who had thus treated her. No wonder the csar, Nicholas I, granted a legal separation, ordering Demldoff to make her a yearly allowance of Sao.ono. The princes afterward went to Paris to live.

(New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. A royal chat about a prospective royal wedding was had when ex-Empress Eugenie called on ex Queen Isabella on Wednesday, and the stately old ladles vied In the graclous- ness of their greetings. It was something like a return to the days of the 'GO, when eacli reigned over one of the moat mag nificent courts In Europe. On account of the personalities of Empress Eugenie and Queen Isabella, the call excited more than usual Interest. There are those who still remember the splendor of the court of Isabella III and not less fresh In memory are the frivolities of the Jolly old queen. Paris of today has been not Infrequently amused by hef somewhat eccentric life In her beautiful palace opposite the t'nlted Statea embassy on Avenue Kleber. One of her chief objects In life now Is to bring back the youthful freshness to her skin. Empress Eugenie, revered by French im perialists as much for her saintly life as for the fact that she Is the widow of Na poleon III, would seem to have llttlo In common with gay Queen Isabella. But the proposed betrothal between King Alfonso of Spain and Princess Alloa of Bavaria la an alliance dear to the hearts of the od grand dames. Princess Alice, who Is only IS and Is a granddaughter of Queen Isabella, was there to meet Queen Isabella. Bo was the little princess' father, Prince Ijouis Fer dinand, one of th most popular of 'the Bavarian prince. His fame aa a musician Is assured and his prestige Increased whan he went into the orchestra of a public theater not long ago and, seizing a violin, played a difficult piece with much bril liancy, greatly to the delight of tha au dience. Princess Alice and her father were on their way to Madrid, where, it mutually agreeable, the betrothal of tha boy king and th little princess will be arranged. Th marriage would change materially the present poltlcal aspect of Europe. It would mean the alliance of Germany with th Spanish court, nullifying the sought-for reapproachment between Spain, Franc and Russia- ' Spain , would be .Identified . then, rather with tha "triple , alliance and the marriage might possibly upset the under standing between Spain and France on th Morocco question.

ONE PRIEST OUT FOR DREYFUS Writes Lyons Paper He Woald Be Clad to Contribute i Cap- (Copyright 1904. by PTess Publishing Co.) PARIS. Jan, S.-(New Tork World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) That rara avis, a Dreyfusard priest, has appeared. The Abbe Brugevedde writes to a Lyons newspaper tlytt he Is a Dreyfusard, although a priest, and that he will be giad "to assist at the awakening of Christian conscience so long asleep In the night of deceived faith." The abbe adds: "Antt-Dreyfuslsm is really for the many but an excess of confidence in their guides, who, by such assumption of virtue and pa triotism, havq succeeded in mystifying their contemporaries." The report to the court of cassation of M. BauoMn, appointed by the criminal branch of the court to collate the new facts Justifying the reopening tit the Drey fus case. Is now promised for January 30. Major Count Esterhaxy, In a letter to the Independence Beige, complains that his let ters addressed to his lawyer, Cabannes. fell, at Cabanne's death. Into the hands of Deputy Joseph Relnach, leader of th Drey fusards. Esterhaty protests against the violation of secrets confided to a lawyer professionally. Relnach retorts that last summer he bousht thirty letters of Ester haxy of Mile. Gays and of Quesnay de Beaurepalre who also figures In th case which Cabannes gave to a friend for tho sake of the autographs. Relnach says these letters are at the disposition of the court of cassation. In a Bwlss publication former Colonel Plcard protests thatMhe court of cassation must not smother the case and insists on a third court-martial of Dreyfus. Plcard says the Social movement against a third court-martial Is much stronger than the agitation of the newspapers. The.Presse assert that If a third court-martial Is finally determined on the Dreyfusards will mow heaven and earth to have Bordeaux chosen as the place of trial. Already their emissaries have arrived in Bordeaux to bias the Judgment of the officers of the Eigh teenth army corps. On the other hand. In Petite . Republlque, the old organ of Deputy Jaures, the socialist leader, Maurice Charnay vows that only the court of cassa tion and an Independent press can. clear away the tissues of lies and false evidence that have secured two condemnations of Dreyfus, preserved from punishment v th staff officers compromised and made Mer cler, the forger, and his accomplices to ap pear Innocent.

Official advices received today further convinco those in the highest authority that the Russo-Japanese war crisis has been averted at least . for the present, and the situation being brought distinctly within the lines of diplomatic ad justment Reports, chiefly from Toklo, but also from 8t. Petersburg, give a clear view of the circumstances leading up to the sud den improvement of the situation. They show . that the Russian answer actually reached Toklo the night of January 6 and proved to be the turning point. Trior to Its receipt Japan had been making atren- uous preparations for sending two divisions to southern Corea. The official reports es tablishing these preparations aro beyond the slightest question, but the note received on January ( disclosed to Japan for the first time ,that Russia, fully conceded Japan's paramount righta In southern Corea. Russia's concession thus gave Japan prac tically what it had been preparing to assert by force and accordingly military activity was suspended, as Russia's concession made unnecessary Japan' forcible assertion of a paramount position in southern Corea. Removes Most Dangerous Aspect. The three days succeeding January t gave an opportunity to the authorities at Toklo to consider and recognize Russia's concession. Whether it will be satisfac tory the reports hav not yet disclosed, but the suspension of military activity Is regarded as removing the most dangerous aspect apd as giving hope that Japan Is l:kely to receive Russia's answer in a con ciliatory spirit. It Is not known whether Russia's concession goes to the extent of relinquishing its contention for a neutral sons across northern Corea. but it Is under-, stood that It relates chiefly to giving defl-' nlte assurance of Japan's rights In south ern Corea. Although reports of media tion continue to circulate, the authoritative statement was mad today that no steps have been taken by Franc towar.I media ting. :t la pointed out that such a move ment.

It waa aa absurd to find these Indictments for conspiracy against Dietrich and Postmaster Fisher as it would hav been when two men are In dicted for burglary to Indict them separ ately for conspiracy because they had agreed to burglarise. Th mar presenta tion of the question to th able Judges of tho federal court was sufficient for speedy dismissal of th indictments for conspir acy. "When th bribery case was brought .on for trial th purpose of th district attor ney was apparent He knew that Dietrich was not a senator of tho United Statea until ho had. qualified by taking the oath of office. In his opening statement h put unnecessary and suspicious emphasis upon the fact thatt while Dietrich was elected senator In March, he did not take th oath until December, and th transactions com plained of wer during th spring and sum mer months. This statement challenged th attention of both counsel and court to tb fact that the government would of neces slty hav Its case dismissed at tho close of th testimony for th prosecution, and tho opportunity would thus be given to those disposed to smirch the senator to give testimony that would be uncontra dieted by him and .by witnesses ha might bring Into the court, for th reason that none of them would be heard and tb Jury woold bo Instructed by tha courj at the end of the government's testimony to re turn a verdict of not guilty. "There waa nothing for Dietrich's coun sel to do except chaJlengo the attention of the court to th statement of the prose cutor and demand that If the case was to b dismissed at th end of the teatlmony for tho prosecution that It ahould be done before those Interested In Senator Diet rich' downfall could air their animosities upon the witness stand. I know that this course was strongly deprecated by Dietrich and. his attorneys would have been glad to hav had full triad upon th merits, but as Judge Van Devanter said, referring to th statement of District Attorney Sum' oners: 'Evidence has been rendered un necessary and it Is th duty of th Jury to find him not guilty. "Senator Dietrich' deslr for a full hear ing will, I believe, yet be obtained by some suitabls commute of th senate of the United States. "Did I bellev him guilty, by direction or Indirection, of th least of th offenses charged against him, I would b the last man to say a word In exculpation, but, b llevlng a I do that bo Is Innocent of these charge and ha been th victim of a cor rupt combination and unwarranted persecu tlon, I do not hesltat to give my view.

Within three miles of shore, and at a time when It appeared certain th Clallam had been saved, a desperate effort was made. to sava the women and children . tn the life boats. They wer plaoed In th first boat to leav th ship, which Captain Lawrence, a ' Yukon pilot volunteered to command, and which waa manned by deck hands. The frail craft want down within sight of th Clallam and a second life boat filled with male passengers and In command of Second Officer Currln waa probably lost a few minutes later. Aboard th Clallam watchers saw waves sweep passengers from their hold on the seats and hurl them Into th . waters, f Though th life boat was sighted later, stUl afloat, a diligent March has failed- to find trace of It Mor passen gers and members of th craw war lost when a third life boat was swamped.

Within sight of its destination a hug sea overwhelmed th little steamer, smashing In Its deadlights, flooding Its- hold -with water, extlnguls'tig tb fire beneath its boiler and placing it v at th mercy of a howling gal. 'All this' happened yesterday afternoon. The culmination of th tragedy was post poned for several agonising hours. Bravely tha officers and crew of th helpless hulk worked to sav th boat and th eighty ., souls aboard It. but In vain. Staunch as It waa tha Clallam could not stand th ter. rlflo onslaught of seas that raced In moun-' tain high from th ocean and Just before darkness began to fall It was decided to make an attempt to sav th passengers by the boats. . . Two boats were launched, and In these some of th passengers wer entrusted to the angry waters. Th first boat contained only women and children, and thro deck hands from th Clallam and Captain Law rence of Victoria. Tha boat was over whelmed 600 feet from th Clallam and Its occupants shrieked In vstn for aid from those aboard the steamer. Not a hand could be raised to aid them. Th aeoond boat rowed away Into th darknesa and on board th Clallam men wer seen as th waves tore them from th boat, but later tb boat was still afloat : Pumps Wer Iseleas.
