ROMB. Jan. . (New York World Cable
gram Spoc-lal Telegram.) 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. Our
duty Is to follow strictly the decisions of

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.

(Copyright, 1904, by Frexs Publishing Co.)
PARIS. Jan. . (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.

which Cabannes gave to a friend for tho

these letters are at the disposition of the

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

PARIS, Jan. I. 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. If addressed to Japan, would probably
originate with Great Britain, owing to
their cloaer political relations.
Foreign Minister Delcasse Is expected to

GENOA, .Jan. . Th Japanese armored
cruisers Kasage and Nlasln left Genoa to

Deaplt tb early hour, 4:30 a. m., many
people gathered ashore to see tha war ships

Through the semi-darkness tha brilliantly
lighted ships could be clearly seen. Tha

The Kasaga left first. The Nlasln sailed
half art hour later, both apparently going

knows what rout they will take, even tha
commanders before leaving having ac
knowledged that they wer in th dark re
garding the Instruction contained in their

FULL TRIAL AN IMPOSSIBILITY
Manderson Says Summers Did Not In
tend to Allow Fair Hearing; to
Senator Dietrich.
Senator Charles F. Manderson. former
senator from Nebraska, who haa followed
the course of the proceedings of W. 6.
-u... m iui enuria to make a case
against Senator Dietrich, says that a full
trial of th cuss was impossible because
or .he course pursued by Summers in pr
sentlng his case. General Manderson says
i am pleased to comply with th request
that I should give my views of Ui trial
or Senator Dietrich. Because of .th at
tack, concealed lu the charge made
against him. upon th fair fama of the
state, my high regard for the honor of the
senate of th United Bute and my ap
preclatlon of the earnest honesty of th
man, whose reputation and well being was
at stake, I sought at a very early period
tq get at the truth In regard to th al
leged corruption by Senator Dietrich in th
disposition of th Hastings postofflce. I
had th detailed story of th transaction
from the defendant himself and his state
ments were corroborated. In every essen
tial particular, by those conversant with
tha facta; among them almost every man
who had given testimony before th grand
Jury and many who were subpoenaed to
glv testimony and who for some un ex
plainable reason wer not called by the
government althguh they were held here
under tha process of th court for wseks.
I .watched thla prosecution, with Intense
Interest ana in my desire to befriend a
man, who I believed was being grossly
abused, ana to save' th state from foul
reproach, I was In frequent consultation
with the able lawyers who were retained
for hrs def ens.
"Th sustaining of tha demurrer to th
conspiracy Indictments can be easily under
stood by every lawyer. 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.

Every Woman aad Child Lost.
Every woman and child aboard tb Clal
lam perished. 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. In an
attempt to launch It
, Three passengers who had fastsned life
preservers about their bodies were picked
up by tha steamer Bahata. They had died
from exposure and J.helr bodies were
brought to Seattle today. The Clallam wag
a staunch new passenger boat on th 8at"
tle-Vlctorla run. It left Port Townsend
for Victoria yesterday noon, facing a ter
rlflo southwest gala. 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. ' ' 1
Th third boat, containing only man, wag
swamped in launching. From that time on,
th member of, th crew and the few pa. .
enger who had volunteered to remain'
aboard, devoted themselves to th task o
trying to sav tb vessel. The pump wer
