BERLIN, Mar 18. (New York World Ca
telegram Special Telegram, fc A - profound
ensatlou has been caused In Oermanjr by
tb startling theories concerning the con
stitution of the German empire propounded
tjr Eugen von Jagermann, the lecturer
Cn law at the University of Heidelberg-, and
formerly the memoer for Baden In the
federal council.
In discussing the powers of this council
Of the German federation, he declares that
It has the right, without the consent of the
Reichstag, to dissolve the empire and es
tablish a new federation wfth different In
gtltutlons. Ho mentions two of the greatest
German authorities as being of the same
Opinion.
Other professors, who are attempting to
counteract the effects of this doctrine, ad
mit that It Is logical, but point out that
U carried further It gives the federal coun
cil power to do away with the army, the
bavy, the chancellor and even the emperor
himself, which they declare would be
absurd.
There la rery good reason for suspecting
that the position of Count von Buelow as
fhe imperial German chancellor la shaken,
lis still enjoys the emperor's friendship,
put whether he also enjoys his political
confidence Is another matter. With all his
undoubted diplomatic skill he has not the
knack of binding his party to him. He
made conservatives . and ultra protectants
wild by repealing the anti-Jesuit act. The
national liberals are wholly estranged. In
this party are found pan-Germans who re
gard Von Buelow as a man of straw, ready
to gain peace by the loas of German pres
tige beyond the seas.
Von BueloWs acceptance of the Anglo
Trench agreement as an instrument to
whloh Germany ought not to object was
resented at the time, and still rankles deep.
Tb socialists despise him. They make
run of his well-groomed appearance and
they mock at his habit of Introducing 'quo
tations and Illustrations, which they say
tie reads up out of a book of references.
The count is what might be regarded
as unfriendly to the United States. Ilis
marck said many rough things about toe
United States and the Americans, but be
admired America, and had a sneaking fond
Seas for many American Institutions.
Von Buelow views, with no friendly eye
the advance of America as commercial
giant and his antipathy , to the Monroe
doctrine la well known. .
When ha falls the chore of a successor
will b a serious Question. Never .has
German been so overrun with mediocrities
as now. Among the present ministers there
la not co with a soul above his chanoery
cr in whom any party or section has any

(Copyright. 1904, by Preen Publishing Co.)
LONDON. May JS (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Mrs. Hugh
Tevls, the young millionaire American
widow, was by all odds the most beautiful
and most admired woman In the American
rolony here two months ago. There was n'
question of her supremacy. Since then
has had an attack of fever. She la'- ,.
month In a private hospital. The 1. j.
yellow hair, truly the crowning glorj .
charms, haa been cut off. On her real ar
ance In the world she Is no longer ths
"beautiful Mrs. Tevls" that was.
Instead, a new American goddess Is
about to reign. She has not yet been dis
closed to society In general. She Is Miss
Helen Blackman. whose sinter Is betrothed
to'lhigh Stafford. At the Van Duyers
psrty in the Chelsea town hall Mies Helen
Blackman made a social sensation of the
sort that can beet be described by saying
that men and women stared at her and that
those who met her were fascinated. Every
body who saw her there has raved since
about her beauty end social talents.
Mrs. Tevls was Miss Cornelia. Baxter, a
daughter of George W. Baxter, who was
territorial governor of .Wyoming. When 18
years old she had, among her suitors, Ger
ald Hughes, a young millionaire. That the
courtship would lead to a marriage nobody
doubted. In fact. Miss Baxter had "asked'
her bridesmaids and had her trousaeau
ready when she fell 111. She was sent for
convalescence to the California coast re
sorts. At Monterey she' met' Hugh Tevls, 40
years old. a multi-millionaire, a widower.
Once he- had been a Harvard athlete.
Hughes, who had followed Miss Baxter,
fell ill. He returned to Denver. Otherwise,
It Is assumed, the marriage would ''have
taken place. Tevls began to court Miss
Baxter and before long she announced her
engagement to him. Hughes heard first of
this by rumor and then by letter.
Miss Baxter was married to Tevls in San
Francisco. Six weeks later Tevla died
while he and his bride were In Yokohama
at the beginning of a journey that was to
have taken them around the world.
Mrs. Tevls was at Bar Harbor last sum
mer with her father and slater. There Mrs.
Tevls caused a charge of misconduct to be
preferred against Lieutenant John R. E.

declared, had inaulted her younger daugh

LONDON, May 28. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Th real rush
of the London season will begin next week.
The feature of th season which is causing
the most talk now is the Countess Ca
dogan'a big basaar. which will open June
2L A number of American .women of the
smart set will take an active part on th
basaar. Th chief stall holder will be Miss
Van Wart, who returned from New York
a month ago and want straight to Paris to
fill her wardrobe before th be grinning of
tb London season. Ther eh fell 111, and
for ten days lay in a critical condition at
Hotel Mlrabeau, Just escsplng peritonitis.
Among her assistants will be Princess
Louise of Schleswlg-Holsteln, Lady Decle
and a' smart crowd of pretty women. The
atall la to be devoted to perfumery, cos
metics and toilet waters. The cost of the
stock laid In by Miss Van Wart In Paris
runs up to a goodly figure. Handkerchief
sachets costing $60 apiece will be on Bale
among other fascinating articles.
There Is the greatest emulation among
American sellers and stall holders to have
the best and nicest stock and aell the pret
tiest things to the queen.
Mrs. Ronslds Insists that she has the real
American stall, but Mrs, Arthur Paget will
do well, wh th duchess of Roxburgh and
Princess Henry of Pless to assist her. They
are to offer living antmals of every sort,
from a young elephant to a canary bird.
' Th queen and all royal children are to
be present to see the mechanical device in
th dome of Albert hall representing the
cow jumping over the moon. Every stall
will represent a nursery rhyme and the fair
sellers are to be dressed as various heroines
In these ditties.
Princess Hatafeldt has fixed on Derby
night for her big ball, which undoubtedly
would have been one of the smartest of the
reason, but the duchess of Devonshire will
have ' on the same night a large dinner
and dance aVwhlch the queen will be pres

Emma Calve, the famous prima donna. In
a recent Interview Mm. Calve said:
"You cannot understand how I have
struggled during the last ten years. Here
I am already an old woman at 40, when
others at that age still retain their youth
ful appearances. In my case, It Is the
penalty of an uphill struggle. "
The Psrls editors were greatly aston
ished at Mme. Calves words and said so
with emphasis: some of them bint that the
prima donna ahould at least have too much
pride -to admit that she haa become a "nice
old lady" at her youthful age.
Many women writers for the Parle papers
hay taken up the subject and every day
they rail at th famoua singer. Bom of
them have gone so far as to assert thai "s

turns out, determined the Judges In the
final court of appeals In the British House
of Lords, to declare that William L. Wl
nana, who had lived fifty years In England,
died an American. The British Inland rev
enue office wanted to claim $1,000,000 aa a
legacy and auccesslon duty on the I12,i00,000
estate of this eccentric man. All the lower
courts had decided In favor of the British
crown, but an appeal by hla two aons has
resulted In an irrevocable decision being
given by the House of Lords, the lord chan
cellor and Lord MacNoughton, the other
Judge, Lord Llndley dissenting.
For forty years Mr. Wlnsns labored to
get his ships spproved by congress, but In
vain. Ha had an office In London with a
staff of engineers and draughtsmen work
ing out th problem and one official's sole
duty waa to look after the taking; out of
th patenta with which he waa continually
covering hla designs. He spent nearly
14,000,000 in trying to bring those cigar ships
Into us.
He bought property In Baltimore called

The vessels were to be able to cros th At
lantic without pitching and rolling and to
have phenomenal speed. But. , alas, even
th exertions of a millionaire could not a
oompllsh this, and with hla death nothing
more haa been heard of th cigar boxes.
So, although for half a century Mr. Wl

fully 800,000 acres of the most desolate
country In Rosa and Invernessehlre.. Far
tip In th wilds of Monar or Palt, thirty
miles front anywhere, there ran over bog

was a noted exponent. It cost him tn0,0OQ
a year for th rent alone of the barren

many thousand dollars and he upheld for
years an army of ghlllles and foresters,
stallers, coachmen and Indoor and outdoor
servants.
On fin day he waa carried on a pony
up th mountain to some snug corrle,
where he sat, gun in hand, with luncheon
laid out close beside him. The keepers
drove th deer past him and he took pot
shots. He said it waa better than sneaking
up behind a deer and shooting it at its
breakfast.
Each deer he shot cost him about 15,000.
Even after he ceased to visit Scotland he
kept the large deer forest in hand.

Ister's order forbidding an officer to ad

Ae used by Frenchmen nowadays, ."thou"

Is employed In families and among famil

himself of It to show -his growing affection
for his sweetheart. Husbands and wives

FARI8, May 28. (New Tork World Ca
blegramSpecial Telcgrnm.) "Ah, 1 am
delighted to see you again, sir.. If I am
not mistaken, we have not met since I saw
you in Chicago," exclaimed a distinguished
looking man, holding out his hand to a
well known member of the American colony
In Purls, whom he met In the street
The American looked htm full In the eye
and replied:
"I don't know you; I have never seen
you before, and don't care to form your
acquaintance."
A few minutes Inter the American waa
astonished to hear that the man who hnd
greeted him so effusively was Baron von
Bcheliha, who has been branded by the
Paris police aa a smooth sharper, and who
cropped up here again this week, but dis
appeared as quickly as he came.
The Paris police have his record com
plete, and say he has been engaged In many
shady operations. They have copies of his
record In New York, which show that he
first earned notoriety In that city by re
nouncing his title In 18.19. Soon afterward
he married Miss Frances Bayllss, the
daughter of a wealthy Chicago merchant.
Bh had been a pupil at a school of lan
guages In New York, where he was em
ployed as a teacher.
The baron was arrested by the New York
police January 17, 19, on account of an
unpaid hotel bill. The next day he waa
held In a police court on a technical charge
of grand larceny. His wife appeared in
court and pleaded for him. She said she
had received a cable message from the
baron's father, and that the latter had
sent money to pay the bill. He waa dis
charged several days later.
The baron's wife was sent to her home
In Chicago from Paris several weeks ago
through the efforts of Henry Tepe, who has
befriended her on several occasions In the
last few years. He raised a subscription
among the Masons and with this money he
paid her passage to America.
Under the name of Ferguson the baron
was said to be connected with the recent
attempt to sell the plans of some French
fortresses to an Englishman. He was ar
rested at Orleans for his part In the affair.

Quay la dead. II had been unconscious
sine early this morning and the stupor
grew more profound each hour. Oxygen
was administered constantly in the hope
that it would revive him. but hla physi
cians abandoned hop of his regaining con

although they worked over their distin
guished patient until the Isst.
The end cam at I:H o'clock.
Matthew Stanley (tnay.
Matthew Stanley Quay was the son of a
Presbyterian minister. His father was for
some years agent of the Foreign Mission
ary society and of th Colonisation aoclety.
The aon was born in DUlsburg. Pa., an
ancient settlement n th Harrlsburg &
Baltimore road, lying in the ahadow of
South Mountain. Dillsburg la a quaint old
town In York county. The visitor there
may see at thle day the house In which
Senator Quay waa born on September SO,
1S33.
The elder Quay moved to Beaver when
his aon waa 7 yeara old. The early hiBtory
of the lad can be told very shortly. He
prepared for college at Beaver and Indiana
academies and was graduated from Jeffer
son college In I860; ran a stereoptlcon in
Louisiana; tried to atart a paper in Shreve
port, but failed to raise the money; taught
school In Texas; fought the Comanches,
who were threatening the border; returned
to Beaver, where he has lived ever since;
was admitted to the bar and made protho
notary, all before the war.
When, In the winter of 1800, Andrew O.
Curtin declared himself a candidate for
the republican nomination Tor governor ke
wanted the assistance in Beaver county of
some one who could secure the election to
the convention of delegates favorable to
him. Hla friends in the western part of
the state told him to apply to Mr. Quay,
the prothonotory of hla county, 'aa the
best man adapted to the work In hand. He
did so and wrote a letter asking Mr.
Quay to aid hla canvass In every way that
he could consistently and conscientiously.
Quay-riattered by this appeal. Responded
by heading a. Beaver county delegation
pledged to Curtin. Twenty-five yanrs later,
when Quay, a candidal for atate treasurer,
waa appealing to his friends throughout
the atate to give him their aupport, the
letter which he Bent to his old leader waa
writteu on the back of tkat which Curtin,
as a csndldate, had addressed 'to htm In
1800. This is an illustration of the careful
manner In which Senator Quay played the
game of politics.
Vaay aa a Soldier.
When Curtin became governor he made
Mr. Quay his private secretary. Quay was
appointed a, lieutenant in the Tenth Penn
sylvania reserves and later he took the
field as colonel of the One Hundred and
Thirty-fourth Volunteer Pennsylvania In
fantry. Just before the battle of Fredericksburg
Quay was sick of typhoid fever. In that
condition he resigned. When the battle
was Imminent he asked to be restored to
his command. In spite of the fact that he
waa yet weak from his Illness. It was too
late. Then h applied to General Tyler,
who commanded his brigade, for a place as
volunteer aide on hla staff. The surgeon ob
jected. "I would rather die Ilk a fool than
live like a coward," Is what Colonel Quay
la reported to have aald and he went Into
the fight. In Tyler'a brigade alone the loss
at Fredericksburg was 464 men.
One of the most cherished souvenirs in
Mr. Quay' possession waa a medal of
honor. Issued to him In 1888. under the act
of 1W3. "for distinguished service st the
battle of Fredericksburg." In his letter Ad
Jutant General Drum said: "The medal Is
Issued st the request of Colonel William
II. Shaw, J. M. Clerk and fifty other aur
vtvlng officers and soldiers of the One Hun
dred and Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania volun-
teera under the presentation of satisfactory
evidence by them that under the law you
are entitled to the same." It Is said that

Cameron and Quay.
In 1864 Quay was elected to the legislature
from the district then composed of Beaver
and Washington coujitlee. In 1806 he be
came the Curtin candidate for speaker of
the house. General Cameron asked him to
call on him, and he called.
"I understand," said Cameron, "that you
are a candidate for speaker."
"That's true," waa Quay's reply.
"Well, that's all right," replied Cameron;
"I don't care to oppose you. and If you
will help me for the aenatnrshtp, I will turn
In for you as speaker."
"No, sir," retorted Quay, "whether I am
elected speaker or not, I shall do all In my
power to prevent your election to the sen
ate." Twenty years afterward Mr. Quay went
to call on General Cameron at his stone
house on the banks of the Susquehsnn at
Harrlsburg. The old statesman had then
been nearly ten years retired from active
political life. When Quay arose to go. Gen
eral Cameron, aa he took hla hand to say
goodby, said:
"By the way. Quay, If you are a candi
date for United Statea senator and I can
make a vote or two for you, be surs I
will."
Qusy said nothing except to express his
thanks, for he waa not yet ready to an
nounce hla candidacy, but his memory must
have gone back to th other interview,
twsnty year before, whan Camsron asked
his Influence for th same offtc and got a
very diffarsnt reply.
Mr. Quay waa 0v yeara out of office,,

heavily for Its victories at Kin L'hou, Nan
bhan and Tallanwan, losing 8.0U0 tnen In
killed and wounded In the related as
saults against these strong positions, but
It scored a sweeping and valuable victory
over the Russians, capturing fifty guns,
clearing th way to Tort "Arthur" and in
flicting losses on the itusslana which In the
end are expected to total 1,000 mon.
It la doubted If tho Ruaslana will stand
again north of Port Arthur. Thoy retired
from the field beaten, and they tailed to
rally at Nan Kwan Ling, where It waa an
ticipated that a second stand would bo
made. ' '
The dusporate onslaughta of tho Japanese
on the heights of Nanshan were telling,
for the Kusslana left 300 dead In the
trenches there. A complete search of this
field is expected to show a greater number
of dead. v

are, however, expected shortly. .

Japs Captured Fifty Guns.
The earlier newa waa received In a calm
spirit by both the publlo and newspapers,
but if th latest report that te Japan
captured fifty guns, It Is avre that the
effect will be much deeper, cid ! certain
to be oonaldered a severe blow. Until that
report arrived the feeling wa that tb
Russians had resisted to the limit of human
endurance and had' retired in good order,
but If this number of guna waa taken It
will put a different complexion upon things,
though It la conceivable here (hat If th
Japanese operating fleet landed force at
San Shi LI Phu and Tallonwan and got In
th rear of the Russlsn p6sltlons th
abandonment of the guns might hav be
come necessary. This view, however, will
hardly finish the extent of the dlssster. ,
CZAR RECEIVES NEWS OF DEFEAT
Agitated and Impressed by Slgnlt-
rance of Loss of Guns.
BT. PETERSBURG. May 2S.-4l:0 p. m.
Emperor Nlcholaa received the newa cf th
reeult of the fighting at Kin Chou anl in
Ita vicinity at the palace of Tiarako felo
He at once aent for War Minister 8ekh
roff, with whom his majesty and the i.n
ber of hla military cabtnot went over th
dispatches.
The emperor received the jeport Oiat the
Russians were compelled to itlre fcr fore
the heavy artillery fire of the cnenay' bat
tories In front and of his warshlpe on their
flank with composure, aa c:ng the tcrlune
of war, but he wae onildornnly agitated
by the later reports that Oe..nrul Kock bad
not succeeded in saving the Itusslati guns.
The members of the mllltsry cabinet
pointed out that thin Is tor report waa not
official and besides they expressed complete
confidence that Tort Arthur Itself uld
not be reduced except st an Immense oogt
of time and men and with th aid nf th
heaviest kind of slag guns, C.enetal Sak
haroff also snld he did not hollev th re
port thst the enemy had arrived within
ten mllea of Port Arthur leniy-four hours
after th desperate fighting at Kin Chou.
It la understood that th emperor hsa 're
ceived several dispatches from Gneral
Kouropatkln regarding ths situation, some
of which may be given out tnr.lght.
The news In the foreign dispatches haa
produced the usual crop of sensational
stories about the Russian government con
cealing the extent of th disaster, but the
only Justification or this allegation asemi
to be the sudden stoppage of all newspaper
dispatches from the seat of war. Most ol
ths foreign reports are allowed to b
printed so aoon a rscelved.
A high officer of the genersl atoff de
rlsred to the rorrespondent of the Asso
ciated Press that lh lose of the gunt, re
ported rsptured waa unavold-ihle. If con
fined to those mounted In (he works on the
hills below Kin Chou. se Ihey could not be
csrrled away when th Rusrlins retired,
but the breechblocks, he addad, probably
had been removed. Besides, before th
nemy could use th guns against Tcrt
Arthur they would hsv to manufacture
special cartridge. Therefore, the In was
not so serious a matter. The Important
thing to ascertsln wa whether the Japa
nese captured any field guna.
The aame officer aald th work at Kin
Chou had boon hastily constructed and
wer no criterion of th work a at Port
Arthur, which could not be flanked, wher
th forts wer scientifically erected gnd
connected to support each other.
"If th Japanese lost J.Vo men In taking
Kin Chou," th offloer added, "they will
lose 10,010 men at least If they try to take
Port Arthur. Even with such a sacrlfic I
consider th rapture ef th fortress to be
Impossible). Port Arthur, la luf cpluloa, la
