Dunraveu's Mcitnr.
LONDON, Oct. 22.-(Spec1aI Cablegram to
Tha Bee.) Lord Dunraven has issued a
very spirited and vigorous reply to tha
cltlcisma which have been passed by Mr.
Wyndham. the chief secretary for Ire
land, and others, upon the proposals of
the Irish Reform association.
Ha emphatically denies that home rula
forms any part of their program.
, "The aim of tha association." he says,
"is a simple one namely, an appeal to all
moderate men for assistance In finding a
remedy for certain specific evils which re
tard the progress of Ireland, to apply con
ciliatory methods to the elucidation of
vexed questions, and by combined effort to
develop the Industries and resources of
the country."
They asked for two bodies, having two
distinct functions. They would have no
more legislative function' than a board of
axrlcultu.e or a board of technical In
struction, and Parliament Itself would de
cide what questions ahould be referred to
them, and theyculd not trench In the
slightest upon the supremacy of Parlia
ment. "Parliamentary union and the supremacy
of Parliament." he declared, "are condi
tions precedent to every suggestion we
have made. It la not home rule in dis
guise." There is amonr the unionists a strong
feeling of disgust. Lord Dunraven declares,
with the present system of government In
Ireland. "It ha always existed, but haa
been subordinated to the urgency of self
preservation. Relieved of that urgency, It
will surely find expression, probably vehe
ment expression, unless Jt be satisfied by
wise and moderate reform.
"Hardships an! Irregularities exist; It Is
the object of the Reform association to
Justify the union by their removal.'
"A little study will. convince unprejudiced
minds that Irishmen have good cause for
dissatisfaction with the system of govern
ment under which they live."
Lord Duntaven adds that the association
does not appeal to extremists on either side.
but only to moderate unionists, who are
asked to support a policy of conciliation
and to Justify the continuance of Parlia
mentary union by the removal of-grlev-
a nee. '

FORMER EMPEROR TO MARRY
Has-Xcbl . M ill Take as Wife a
Preach Girl at Al
geria. PARIS, Oct a. (Special Cablegram to
. The Bee.) With the consent of the minis
ter of the colonies, the dethroned emperor
of Annam, Ham-Nghl, who has been a
prisoner of the French for sixteen years,
left Psrls.a few days ago for Marseilles,
enroute for Algeria, where he will be mar
ried to his betrothed, Mile. Laloe, a
charming young wpinan of about 30, who
accompanied him.
The ex-emperur. who was for years de
tained In Algeria, made the acquaintance
of the young woman some time ago and
fell deeply In love with her. His atten
tion was returned, but her father, who Is
president of the Algerian court of appeal,
objected to the match on the ground of her
lover's color and religion. But the girl s
. tears finally overcame the opposition of her
father and the marrUse was arranged.
Hm-N'ghl. who Is S3 years of age, owed
his downfall to a revolt which he headed
against the French In U86, when General
da Courcy's garrison was besieged In the
palace at Hue and desperate fighting oc
curred. Finally, a relief force under Colonel Per
not scattered the rebels and Ham-Nghl
fled to tha mountains of Kwang-sl, where
he carried on a guerrilla war against the
French till 1W. when he was captured.
In the following year he waa Interned
In Algeria with a penstoa of C1.2U0 a year,
which on the occasion of his marriage will
be Increased to 1,100.
The ex-emperor la allrht and delicate

BABY FARMER JS ON TRIAL
Notorious German Woman la Accused
of Wholesale Murder at
Hamburg.
HAMBURG, Oct. 22. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) The trial of the notorious
baby farmer, Frau Wlese, known as the
"Angel Maker," began at Hamburg this
week.
Wlese is charged with the most terrible
offenses and sensational disclosures are ex
pected, as several high-born women who
employed her .are subpoenaed to give evi
dence The police charge Frau Wlese with mur
dering her husband and five babies en
trusted to her care. She Is also charge
with systematic cruelty to children, with
participation In various Immoral dealings
and with perjury. There are several lesser
charges. '
Five years ago Wlese rented a large house
In Hamburg at an enormous price and
started business as a baby farmer on 1 a
large scale. Moat of her customers were
people of position who desired to concea)
the birth of children. They paid heavy
fees sometimes aa much as 200.
The clients simply handed their babies
over to Wlese, who undertook to look after
them permanently. Instead of so doing, it
Is alleged that she murdered them, some
being poisoned, others burnt alive In a
large oven and others thrown into the Elbe.
Wlese secured clients from England,
France and even America by attractive ad
vertisements, and when her husband sought
t4 check her criminal career she Is charged
with having poisoned him, after having se
cured a high Ufa Insurance.
So cleverly did she proceed with her work
that It took, the police two years to collect
sufficient evidence to arrest her. After the
arrest boncj of Infant victims were found
hidden beneath tho floor of the kitchen.
The mildest legal offense with which
Wiese is accused Is selling her own daugh
ter. One of her infant victims. It Is stated,
was her own grandchild.

Sanitary Regulation is Wade Excuse for
Detaining Some Intending Emigrants.
GERMAN STEAMSHIP COMPANIES FAVORED
Charsre Made that la Some Cases

tion by Golasr by

BERLIN, Oct. 22. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Very bitter attacks have been
made upon the Prussian government by the
social democratic and by the radical press
because, by virtue of a sanitary police
regulation, that government only permits
I Russian emigrants who pass through Prus
sia to proceed to countrks outside Europe,
' and because It exercises pressure upon
j these emigrants In order to make them
' take passages only by the German lines
' the Hamburg-American and the North
j German Lloyd. There Is every reason to
believe that these assertions are perfectly
true. It may be assumed, however, that
i the Prussian government Is chiefly in
I fluenced by political considerations In
adopting these measures. Inasmuch as there
Is a desire to oblige Russia. At the same
time the opportunity Is turned Into account
In order to extend the business of the two
German steamship companies, the Inter
ests of which are constantly promoted In
every direction by the Prussian state and
by the German emperor.
In quarters connected w"h the German
steamship companies, It ount to be added,
the opinion prevails that the difficulties
with the Cunard line will ' ultimately be
arranged In a manner satisfactory to both
parties. Emigration by way of Germany
has diminished during the present year.
Up to the end of July 79.348 emigrants
sailed from Hamburg, .as compared with
95.697 during the first seven months ot
1903; while the corresponding figures for
Bremen were 73,211, as compared with
109.471. Jn frelghta there Is said to be great
room for Improvement, although this busi
ness is better than It waa last year.
Watch for Escaping; Conscripts.
With regard to the conduct of the Prus
sian government toward the Russian emi
grants It is learned that the way In which
that government hopes to oblige Russia Is
' by sending baok across the Russian fron
tier intending Russian emigrants whose
passes . are not In order, or who . are at
I tempting to evade by flight the obligations
I pf military service with the Russian colors,
j The socialists Vorwaerta has published
harrowing descriptions of - the ' way In
'which, even' at the Lehrte terminus In Ber
lin tne railway station for Hamburg the
carriages are Benched by the state railway
offlclahi for emigrant . passengers whose
passes are not 1p order or who have tickets
for their Atlantic passage by a non
German line. Under the pretext of the
sanitary police regulations such Intending
emigrants are remorselessly consigned to
the quarantine station unless they consent
to book a passage by one of the German
steamship lines. The Vorwaerta suggests
that since sanitary considerations obvi
ously play no further part In cases where
Intending emigrants comply with the de
mand that they should purchase a German
steamship ticket, the British government
would be amply Justified- in enforcing the
strictest sanitary measures against the
0hlps of the German lines, and also In pro
hibiting all British emigrant from em
barking upon them. This suggestion has
aroused the patriotic Ire of the National
Zeltung, which furiously denounces tha
Vorwaerta for playing Into the hands of
the foreigners.
NEW FAITHSFOR JAPANESE
Christians and Mahometi&is Plan to
Make Many Converts At Island.
Kingdom. V.
LONDON, Oct. 22.-(Speclal Cablegram to
The Bee.)-Now that Japan Is taking her
place among the great nations of the world
It feels that It should have a state religion
of Its own.
Apparently, however. It does not desire
to adopt the wholesale creeds of the for
eigners, and hence there Is an idea that
some attempt will be made to evolve a set
of recognised beliefs and observances from
the commingled doctrines of Christianity
and Orientalism.
In the course of a conversation this week
Rev. II. E. Fox. secretary of the Church
Missionary society, said that there were
very many Christiana in Japan, and that
the work of spreading the gospel there was
progressing steadily.
'Especially," he added, "has this been
noticeable during the war. Miss A. C
Bosanquet, In a letter from Hiroslma,'
which appears In the Church Mlsisonary
Intelligencer, says: 'It la touching to see
how the Christians prise their New Testa
ments, almost always carrying them In
breast pocket or knapsack, and using them
well.'
"The bishop of Toklo." Mr. Fox con
tinued, "thinks that the aenae of having
won the right to', claim equality with the
western powers may Induce the native
Christians of Japan to wlFh to rule their
own church" without the assistance of for
eigners." Mr. W. H. Qullllam of Liverpool, the
shelkh-ul-Islam of the British isles, Is
about to write a primer of first principles
in the Mahometan faith, which tho
Japanese at Shanghai will translate for
circulation In Japan.
He Is convinced that the Islamic faith
will make very great progress In Japan.

vVAKES TRIP THROUGH FINLAND
Jew Governor General Finds It Dlf
fleult te Secure Kspressloas
from People.
MELSINQFORS. Oct. 22.-(Special Cable
gram to The Bee.) Prince Obolensky, the
new governor general of Finland, haa re
cently concluded a tour undertaken with
a view to acquainting himself with the
situation and reporting oi it to the cxar.
Before starting for his Journey he had In
timated that he would welcome eveiy frank
statement regarding the condition and the
desires of the people. At almost every
stopping place the prince was watted upon
by 'deputations. The addresses to be read
before the governor general were, however,
previously subjected to a rigorous censor
ship by the provincial governors of the
officials In Prince Obolensky's entourage,
and In many cases the deputations were
not received. One of these oftVHIs de
clared In defense of this action that, since
Obolensky was going to present to the
csar a truthful report on the situation
in Finland, it was not permissible ' that
such outspoken and uncompromising state
ments should be laid before him. On one
or two occasions, however, as in Abo and
Tammerfors, the deputations managed
somehow, In spite of the obstacles thrown
In their way, to approach the governor
general. In the latter place a deputation
j of laborers had submitted their address to
the provincial governor, a Russian named
Papkoff, who point blank refused to admit
them to Prince Obolensky's presence. On
receding this reply the deputation de-
L -t-d that. If they were not admitted, they
'would have their address printed and
spread 10.000 copies in Tammerfors and
the neighboring districts. M. Papkoff then
chose the lesser evil and the address was
read before Prince Obolensky. It con
tained a vigorous protest s gainst the In
fringements of the law of the country and
denounces those Finnish officials, notably
the Senate and the procurator general,
who, by their deplorable lack of firmness
have more or less directly facilitated the
progress of Russlflcatlon.
The general tenor of Prince OboIenskVs
replies to the various deputatlors has been
to the effect that as soon as there were
no signs of discontent In Finland and the
people gave convincing proof of confidence
in the government he had no doubt that
normal conditions would once more return
In Finland. In the mean time the people
ought not to dabble In politics
On the other hand, there Is lltt'.e doubt
that Prince Obolensky will pursue a more
lenient policy than General Bobrlkoff. and
S-n-C'Sri.r
newspapers express themselves tentatively
with great freedom. Permission has bean
granted for the starting of three news
papers, Including a dally paper, the Helsln

LONDON. Oct 22.-(Special Cablegram to

down by the failure of the quest for offl-
An appeal is being made to the Infantry
of the line to supply the deficiency, a
letter havlna been addressed to Una offl- I
cers who are willing to transfer to the !
Guards.
Whlle the Guards accept this Innovation 1
as one forced upon them by circumstances,
they still cling to soma of ' their most
cherished traditions.
Each candidate for admission to the
charmed circle of the army's elect must
have speclfio social qualifications, and ha
must observe the unwritten law that an
officer of the foot guards shall have a
private income of no lees than 400 per
annum.
The lack of sufficient officers for the
Guards has been a problem for some time
past, and not without a pang have the
Invitations been sent out.
It Is expected that most of the line bat
talions will put forward ons man for
transfer to the Guards, and the establish
ment will thus be effectively made up.

ROME, Oct. 22. The prevailing feeling
among the pope's advisers regarding the
attitude of- the Vatican at the coming elec
tions seem to be not to abolish the de
cree forbidding Catholics to vote. The
Osservatore Romano, the organ of the
Vatican, however, in unofficial articles
urges that the abstention from voting be
merely to mask the free hand in the mat
ter left to the bluhops, and advises the
faithful to vote when It Is considered
advantageous to do so In view of the local
conditions. If this decision Is deflnlt the
clericals' will not have a party of their
own in the chamber, but will oppose the
extremist and antl-rellglous candidates,
esepclally the socialists, and will favor the
conservatives.
The pope is now working on a circular
to be addressed to the French clergy. It
will make no reference to policies. The
pontiff will merely encourage the social
and religious action of the clergy.
The fact that there will be no allusions
to policies In the circular Is looked upon
here as ending the policy Inaugurated by
the late Pope Leo XIII and Cardinal Ram
polla, former papal secretary of state,
which aimed at the transformation of the
French Catholics Into supporters of the
republic. Pope Plus' recommendation being
a union of good Catholics to defend re
ligious interests.

John J. Hallgan, attorney for Mrs. Cody,
has tiled a petition asking that Colonel
Cody be required to make the complulnt
more definite, and the court haa rul.d that
Cody must comply. Cody must tell, the
court says, Just how and when Mrs. Cody
attempted to poison him and must give
a full bill of particulars in the legations
of cruelty which he says drove him fiom
home.
Advices from North Platte say that Mra
Cody would have been willing to drop the
matter If Cody admitted sh. -never at
tempted to poison him.
His attorney, John Rldgely. has gone to
New York to see Cody a.id collect evi
dence. He said today there has been no
Intention at sny time to drop the caS3.
Instead of a possible reconciliation, the
developments today prove conclutivtly that
the bitterest feelings exist between the
couple and that Buffalo Bill Is determined
to go on with the case and secure a di
vorce under any conditions.

Both Forces Lose luooaanu oi JUen,
but Neither Wins m Decisive
Victory.
A review ot tho ten days of lighting be
tween the Japunese and Russluns south
of Mukden shows immense losses to both
forces, but a decisive victory for neither.
The opposing armies are still facing each
other, though a distance of several miles
lies between them. .Offensive operations on
the part of the Russians are reported to
have been made ten miles from Mukden
and attacks are of frequent occurrence
along the entire Una. No really important
aggressive movements, however, are an
nounced. A very heavy engagement Is Con
sidered certain to occur before many days
to the southward of Mukden, as a result
of the concentration In that vicinity of
Immense bodies of the opposing forces.
The weather has become much colder and
great Buffering Is reported.
CHASM SEPAHATEs THE ARMIES
Situation Practically Sam as When
Battle Began Ten Days Ago.
PARIS, Oct. 22. The Temps this after
noon published the following dispatch from
Mukden, dated October 21 at S p. m. :
I passed the last two days at headquarters
and along the Russian center. Hetore the
door of General Kouropatkln's quarters are
thirteen Japanese cannon, captured when
the Russians took the wooded hill (Lone
Tree hill) on October 16. The battle Is now
suspended, with a chasm separating th.
two armies. The situation practically 1
the same us at the opening of Kouropat
kin's offensive. The Russians have been
unable to secure dedal ve results and the
Japanese have been equally unable to do
so. It Is becoming very cold. The losses
are enormous. There are 30,000 wounded.
The roads are terrible. The Japanese ut
most stopped firing during the last few
days, leading to the belief that their ammu
nition is running out. Numerous reports
say the Japanese are serlouHly affected bf
the cllmute and the indications are that
they are going to ret re towards their
strong positions at Yental. Everythlns
shows that the battle is only temporarily
suspended.

(Copyright, by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
ST. PETERSBURG. Ocx. 22.-(New York
Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to
The Bee.) All the Indications point to the
probabl I lei of General Kouropatkln's pol
icy of waiting again predominating. At the
recent meeting of Viceroy AlexUff and
eGneral Kouropatkln, the former convince!
the latter that he was right in calling for
more troops, the truth being. that the
shrinkage of the Russian army csusel by
fatalities, casualties and above all Illness,
Is enormous. In addition the amount of
shot and shell expended far exceed all
records In any previous war, more ammu
nition, for Instance, having been expended
at Llao Yang than during the entire Russo
Tu.kish war.
There has been much excitement dis
played alt day long by the populace,
caused by the publication ot an Imperial
orfler calling for the mobilisation of regi
ments tn the military districts of Moscow,
Vllna, Kief and Odessa, for nt March.
An Ides, of the extent of this can be galnej
by mention of the fact that the names of
the towns Included in the order fill a col
umn of small print.
The greatest care Is exercised that no
Information of the military position at th
front becomes known. Among the mili
tary authcri.les the conviction grows that
there may be a long pause before hostili
ties are resumed. . Frost has set In and this
signifies much.
Perplexed Over Wounded.
The most perplexing of the questions
arising out of the war Is what to do with
the enormOda number oi wounded rapidly
returning from the front. To the number
re added at least 30,000 as a result of the
htlng about Mukden. Harbin overflows,
iuUIi has all it can accommoJate . and
Siberian road is crowded . with trains
of unfortunates. Hospital accornmo
on as a rule is not extensive In lcua-
towna
ireover, Is the very serious question
noney. The large ' funds of the Red
s society are exhausted, and the fe
ces of the private charutlea, organised
inembers of the Imperial family and
s, are mere drops In the ocean in the
of the numbers which will have to be
cared for. 1
The idea of the church coming to the
rescue haa been moved. The churoh In
Russia has grown exceedingly rich through
small' but multiple donations of the poor
all over the country. The monasteries have
riches untold. Prince Ouktowsky upon this
subject says:
"Our people, as everyone knows, are In
the worst degree of poverty, but when any
thing Is to be done for the cloister they
make It the matter of honor and conscience
to give their last kopeck. Those kopecks,
coming from the pockets of millions, have
provided the cloisters with millions of oapt.
Uil. Now the people themselves are In
terrible want; hundreds of thousands are
suffering upon the fields ot battle, lacking
good clothes, and even linen to bind thali
wounds. , i '
"Millions of roubles are needed on thit
account. The eyes of the community are
set with hope upon the cloisters. .A great
and godly work awaits the participation
of the cloisters."
Of late one constantly hears of a proposal
for the government to make a serious ap
peal to the church for a Urge sum to pa
used for the war. In Russia such an appeal
Is tantamount to an Imperial Imperative
rder. '
Talk of Black Sea Pleat.
BERLIN, Oct. ii. Prices on the Bourns
today were weaker upon the rumor that
the Russian Black sea fleet would pass
the Dardanelles und accompany the BaiUa
fleet to the fur east.
ST. PETL. SliLKO, Oct 23.-1:46 a. Be-
Although It is Impossible at this hour to
secure an authoritative statement regard
lng the London St. James Gusette's report
that Russia intends sending the Black sea
fleet to the fur eust, and with that object
In view Is bringing pressure to bear upon
the Porte to secure permission to 'permit
the fleet to pass out through the Darda
nelles, It Is considered a canard In well
Informed circles. A small faction of th
admiralty did favor at one time-defiance
of the treaty of Paris, but It was strong. y

bruited at that time the Associated Press
was authoritatively Informed that nothing
of the sort was over sven Seriously con
