ROME. Jan. 16 (New York World ('
blegrsm Special Telegram.) Owing to the
hostile attitude of the Vatican toward the
Italian government, petty reprlsala on the
part of the authorities are on the Increase.
Only the other day a public auction wan
Ordered of all the sacred vessels belonging
to the congregation of the. Ilceno, Including
everal precious chalices and vestments.
It van only through an injunction secured
by the best legal talent, engaged by the
pariah prleat of Sun Ba Ira tore, that the
auction waa put off and the case referred
to the courta.
Rellgloua teaching In the public arhoolK
has been abolished In- many yrovlnces of
Italy. Tl) latent of theae meaaurea waa
taken by the government In Cerena, where
the municipal council, with the approval
teaching of the Catechism. waa contrary to
tlvii morality."
The novitiate of the Jesuit father at Cas
tle, Gandolfo. where the pope a villa la sit
uated, haa been removed from the Villa
Torlonla hy, order of the government. Or
iginally thlt property belonged to the
Jesuit and la the same place where Wol-
isng uoeine, tne tjerman poet. rcnt many
mnntha with his Inamorata from Milan In
178. When the late Duke Torlonla bought
the property he let the Jesuit fathers use
It on condition that his family tomb' on the
premises be properly attended to. Now the
Italian authorities have ordered the Jeault
fathers to vacate tho premises, aa only two
or three would be sufficient for the custody
of the tomb.
Tt Is feared that similar acta of reprisals
will be adopted by the government toward
ether religious orders which, strictly ac
cording to law, have no right to exist In
Italy.
Th Vatican authorities are much con
cerned over the matter, especially because
the rellgloua teaching may be abolished
in all the public schools and the position
N of the many members of the religious or
ders, who have . lately come here from
France, may be rendered unpleasant.

Cardinal der Val haa written a letter by
the pope's order to tho Catholic democratic
organ. It Doraani d'ltalla, In which he con
firm the Intention of the Holy See to con
tinue tho prohibition to- vote at political
elections for the Kalian Catholics. The
papal secretary of state says:
"The holy father haa noted with special
atlefactlon how the staff of your journal
has understood what the sovereign pontiff
himself recently recalled respecting the lib
erty and Independence of the apostolic see,
And he haa no doubt whatever that your
official organ will prevent the false insin
uation from spreading among truly loyal
Catholics aa to a new policy and a change
of attitude among the Italian Catholics by
tho withdrawal of a prohibition which ema
nated from the Holy See. owing to well
considered reasons which are well known
to all."
The Austrian government has signified Its
consent that Mgr. Qranleo dt Belmonte, for
several years nuncio at Belgium, bo ap
pointed to Vienna In the place of Mgr.
Tallant. who has been made a cardinal.
Plue X has also decided to reappoint aa
ternunclo at The Hague, which position
was abolished by Leo XIII when, la ISM,
his representative. Mgr. Talmassl, failed
to obtain for the Holy See an Invitation to
the . international peace conference. He
has selected Mgr. Locatelll, former attache
of the French nunciature.

Contrary to statements which have been
made In the United States, that the recent
reforms In church music, recently decreed
by Flus X would affect only France and
Italy. It will be Interesting to know that

one In the form of a letter to Cardinal
Kpbhl. the vicar general, and the other
Intended for the world at large.
Caidlual Cretonl. prefect of the In

which Uicy are authottaed to continue the

One of the1 most Important reforms, and
one that will most affect American
churches. Is that absolutely excluding

soprano and alto parts are to be sung by
boys, and all the members of the choir
are to be arrayed In cassock and surplice
and concealed behind a grating. Special
Gregorian schools are to be Instituted In
overy Catholic college and seminary.
All Home has discovered that the pope
has an abundant sense of humor. Tits

The architect waa aatonished, but Plus X

was much rent by dissension. He added:
-However, I am a good tailor and I mean
to repair the damage very quickly." "

a single rehearsal plays his piece three or
four times.
'Very sensitive to the cold, he comes to
rehearsal muffled up In furs. He gives
his overcoat to the theater boy. Hardly

about the draughts, the cold, the wind;
calls for his overcoat, puts It on again,

Prince Louis arrived, but the manifesta

and to cries of "Vive General Bonaparte."
The prince acknowledged the salutations
with dignity, and hurried away with his
relatives and Intimates who went to the

The duchess of Aosta was unable to
await the arrival of her brother In Parla,

Year for dentine
Research.
(Copyright, 1904, by Press Publishing Co )
PARIS. Jan. 11 (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Honors are
heaped upon Mme. Curie. Only a few
weeks ngo she received, In conjunction
with her husband, the' Noble prise for
chemistry. Now she hss been awarded
tl2,0CO from the Osiris prlxe of France. She
Is a Pole her maiden name having been
Skiodowska. She came to Paris to study
and was soon marked at the College of
Sciences- at the Sarbonne by M. " Curie.
He had met her before In the laboratory
of the Municipal School of Physics and
Chemistry, when he waa In charge of the
practical experiments.
He was accustomed to have one of tho
women students assist him In his work
and It fell to the lot of Miss Skiodowska
to aid him once. He found her sen-Ices so
valuable that afterward he demanded them
always. Her paper on the "Magnetic Prop
erty of the Various Ixadstone Steels,"
contributed to the National Society for the
Encouragement of National Industry, like
wise Impressed him.
In 1900 she took her degree nt the Sar
bonne as doctor of phylcal sciences. Her
first thesis for the degree was "Researches
on Radio-Active Substances." This was a
remarknhle paper. The faculty then pro
pisad her for a subject: "Relations Be
tween Atomic Weights and Spectras of
Simple Bodies." After receiving her de
gree she accepted a pocltlon as professor
at the higher normal school for young girls
at Severes. She has continued to fill this
position since her marriage with M. Curie.
It wan she who first began the researches
on polonium and radium. A study of
uranlc radiator by M. Becquerel had led
her to these Investigations. Her husband,
finding her studies Intensely Interesting,
helped her In her experiments and thus to
gether they discovered the peculiarities of
radium.
The second part of the Osiris prlxe Is
awarded to Dr. Edward Branly. It Is
valued at tS.OOn, when the French consider
the real Inventor of wireless telegraphy,
though they do not deny that Marconi was
the first to apply It practically. He is the
author of numerous scientific works, and Is
a practicing physician.
This Osiris prlxe. valued at t.n.noo, is sepa
rate from that offered by the Institute. It
was placed In the hands of a committee
of the Parisian press as early as 1897 to
recompense the greatest invention and
greatest humanitarian work exhibited at
the exposition of 1900. The committee, fail
ing to find anything that merited It. has'
held it until no;. M. Osiris, while In no
way making his nuggestlon authoritative,
pointed out that Mme. Curie, having the
greater part In the discovery, merited a
separate reward.
The Institute's Osiris prixe. also valued
at 0,000. I.i destined as an award for the
greatest discovery or work on science, let
ters, arts or Industry, "touching the pub
lic interest." Dr. Roux of the Pasteur In

fused It for himself, but accepted It for
the Institute.

CHICAGO. Jan. 16.-The Chicago MeJical
society and the Illinois State Medical as
sociation will. It Is expected, begin pro
ceedings against the antl-ioxln truxt under
the anti-trust law. Secretary Pritchard of
the Health department sulci today that he
had information to that effect. An offi
cial statement regarding the "death trust"
In anti-toxin was Issued today by Secretary
Pritchard. The statement says:
The antt-toxln trust Is nothing more or
less than a tiafflc In human life. The con
cerns, which manufacture and practically
control the anti-toxin supply of almost the
entire country, have seen lit arbitrarily to
advance the price of their product KM IT
cent. This discovery was made by ho
Department' ot Health of the city 'of Chi
cago, when. In ordering Its neeiled supplies
for charity work. It was met with thee In
creased quotations.
The department felt compelled to call
public attention to the evidence that a
combine had leen formed which effectually
controlled the price of the only INiown
remedy for the most dread scourge to the
child life of the country. Primarily our
object was to call attention to the Im
mediate effect this would have on the
death rate of children In the city of Chi
cago. . Since the discovery of anti-toxin
tho Department of Health has done all In
Its power to encourage Its use. It has
furnished Its own. medical Inspectors to
administer It and has provided the anti
toxin in all cases where the people were
too poor to purchase It.
The hortsontsl Increase In the price
made hy the trust means that the city of
Chicago will be compelled to appropriate
double ths sum lo do the same amount of
charity work In diphtheria cases for liH
that tt did In 19W. This the city can do
and doubtless will do, but outside of
this It must be remembered that tills burden
will fall heaviest, on the self-respecting,
self-supporting heads of families of modest
neomes. To all such, should diphtheria
Invade their homes and they be compelled
to pay the Increased prices, the burden put
upon them by the anti-toxtn trust will In
deed be grievous.
It should be noted that the Increased
f rices quoted by the trust to the city are
he prices of the manufacturers to a Job
ber. This applies not only to Chicago, but
practleslly to the entire country. The pub
licity already given has aroused the medi
cal profession to- the hlshest Infllgnatlon
and will no doubt result In some steps be
ing speedily taken to provide a supply of
anti-toxin from sources other than that of
the combine.
A. F. Nightingale, one 'of I ie trustees of
th University of Illinois, t-ay aal d:
I think every state In the union should
have a laboratory for the manufacture of
anti-toxin serum for use Id that state.
DETECTIVES WANT TO FOLLOW

CHICAGO, Jan. '11 But one witness was
heard In the Iroquois theater Inquest today
and the Jury then adjourned to inspect the
Interior of the theater. A Jlvely dispute
took place when Deputy Coroner Buckley
and the Jurors entered the building. A
force of detectives employed by the owners
of the building followed them around and
Insisted upon listening to all that was said.
They moved away only when Mr. Btickle
threatened to have all th detectives ar
rested. . .
The sole witness today was James O.
Curomlngs, stage carpenter of the Iroquois
theater. He was exasperatitigly evasive In
his replies and Coroner Traeger rebuked
him sharply several times. Cummlngs' tes
timony did not differ materially from that
of the other stage employes, sav that he
swore he had. shown a dosen of them how
to open the ventilators and they unani

Report Comes from Hassla thai th

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-Cabllng from St.
Petersburg, the correspondent of the Her
Bid quotes an unnamed diplomat as saying:
"Let all those who are sddlng fuel to th
fire which means -war remember that no
possible power can limit that war to Japan
and Russia. Its extension to other coun
tlrea la sure, with results too terrible to
consider."
The situation may. In fact, be summed up '
as follows: Japan la dissatisfied with the
Russian noto and retuma It for amend
ment. According to the declaration of A -high
official of the Foreign office when tho
last Russian reply was sent to Japan, Rus.
sla has tomeded all it can, a'nd while will
ing to grant small concessions to Japan in
Cores, It refuses to discuss the question
of Manchuria.-
Japan Insists In pushing tho Manchurlan
open door question as a sine qua non and
also with equal Insistence urglnjr that it
should have assurances of the Integrity
of Corea and China, to which Russia's con
sent Is Impossible.
Russia, will rep.y in a similar tone and
will lay Its reasons before the powers Jus
tifying Its attitude.
An additional squad of sixty-four United
States marines has arrived to protect '
American cltlxens, says a Herald dlapatch f
from Seoul, Corea. Natives of the United
States here outnumber those of any coun
try except Japan and China and their com
mercial Interests exceed all except
Japanese.
Closely Guarded la Corea. ,
SEOUL, Corea, Jan. 11-The American
guard at tho United States embassy haa
been Increased. Sixty additional marines
arrived here last night and are quartered.
In the city at, the electric power company's
building. The native press Is slightly of-"
fenslve to foreign residents and It is quite
possible there will yet be trouble with
Corea. Troops now guard all the foreign, v
residences, probably In sufficient numbers
to keep the natives In check s'.ould they
begin to make trouble. Foreigners cannot
bo considered In danger. A German man-of-war
has .'ust trrlved at Chemulpo.
A change in the personnel of th govern
ment haa begun in favor of the Japanena .
and, as the people have been more angry '
with tho government than with the for
elgners. It Is likely that this chance wilt
completely paoify them.
The American authorities lave taken tho
precaution to provide male escorts for
women and children of that nationality,
while on the street. l
t'sar Wsuats Peace.
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. ll-O. dispatch
received here from Vladivostok says It Is i
reported titer that all the powers ha i
urged Japan to maintain the status quo,
pointing out the undeslrablllty of any dls-
turbance of the peace.
According to a dispatch from Port Ar
thur. Viceroy Alexleff. addressing the
troops on the occasion of the New Tear's
parade Jaruary 14, declared that "It la the
will of the emperor that peace shall bo pre- ,
served -in the far east." -
"Tho news which reachea- :he legation is
of a thoroughly reassuring., character." -said
the secretary of th1 Japanese legs- ,
tlon In an Interview today published by the
Bourse Qaxette. '"Neither Russia nor
Japan desires war," continued the score- .
tary. "Japan haa no interest Iff under- '
mining the International prestige of Rus- .
sla. The central point of tho difficulty Is ,'
Corea. on the subject of which, however. It
Is quite possible that an understanding- ,
will b reached at no distant date. Japan,,
doe not claim a protectorate over Corea.
It only demands the light of free trade uv
Corea and Manchuria. Japanese trad
With Manahurla could be established la
such a manner as to give Russia equivalent
advantages for any loss of tho opening ot
the Manchurlan markets. Russia's Inter-,
ests' could be further safeguarded by- a,
Russo-Japanese commercial treaty."
The secretary declared the legation had
no Information on the subject of th report
that the London and Paris cabinets In-'
tended to offer their good offices, adding: '
"This course, however, seems superfluous '
at th present moment, ss the state of
diplomatic negotiations make it permlssabl
to hope for a favorable Issue."
Washlagtea Keeps la Toera.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 11-Becretary Hay
had a conference .today with the president.
He waa followed soon afterward by Re pre- .
eentaUve Hltt. chairman of tbo foreign af
fairs committee or the house. The Inter
view between th president and Mr. Hltt
waa a prolonged one. Little Information;
could b obtained either from Secretary
Hay or from Representative Hltt.
The State department la keeping in close .
touch with th situation in th far aat '
and. It is understood, that th conference
today related to this subject While tbo
situation is regarded as serious no de
velopments of importance . are expeeigcl '
until Russia presents Its reply to Japan.
During th laat two weeks I6.0U0.000 n
gold hav arrived at Ban Francisco from
Japan to pay for food supplies and muni,
tlons of war that hav been obtained la
this country. Wore gold now Is enroute to
the United States from 'Japan to pay fog
other supplies.
Such reports as the State department haa
received through IU various agencies lo
Europe and th east are summed up in th
single expression that the resources ol
diplomacy hav not yet been exhausted la '
the far eastern situation. It Is expected
that Russia will delay several days al
leevst before making answer to th last
Japanese not. Th not is far from being
an ultimatum and the officials do not ex
pect anything in the nature of a. crista Is
tb near future. Mr. Takahtra, the Jape
nee minister, had a long conference today
with Secretary Hay. but he had no newt
himself of anything that bad happened In
