Bale ioos.
DUBLIN, Oct 29. (Special Cablegram to
(The Bee.) Mr. Balfour's emphatic repudia
tion of home rule at Edinburgh has been
(welcomed by Irian unionists with genuine
batlsfactlon and relief. The unionist pres
discusses this part of the prime minister's
address to the exclusion of all his other
reference to topics of imperial Importance.
The Irish Times says;
This uncompromising avowal will be re
ceived with great satisfaction by Irish
unionists. They will be still better pleased
If Mr. Bulfour should take an early op
portunity of saying the same thing to them
face to face in Ireland itseir, and if lie
should Impress upon his subordinates the
necessity of framing their Irish policy In
thorcugh conformity with the views that
he had expressed.
The Dally Express speculates on the ef
fect which Mr. Balfour's declaration will
have upon Mr. John Bedmond's plans, and
concludes that, however evenly balanced
parties might be In the House of Com
mons, Mr. Redmond could not "hold the
government of England In the hollow of
his hand," unless each party were pre
pared to offer something for his support.
If it were understood that the unionist
party would give him nothing, no sensible
liberal leader would fear a temporary de
feat at his band.
The Freeman's Journal, In a general dis
cussion of the political situation, predicts
a liberal victory at the next general elec
tion, and thinks there la ground for the
hope that "If the 'Irish party Insists, the
newly-constructed liberal party will at onoe
tackle and pass an ample measure of home
rule."
FATHER HYACINTH ON VATICAN
former French Priest Gives Ills
Opinion of Present State of
Affairs.
PARIS, Oct. 29. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) "Father" Hyacinth has an ar
ticle in the Siecle, of which several passages
are of unquestionable Interest. He says;
It is alleged that Spain and Germany
dominate at the Vatican, and in a certain
way that Is true. Three personages ID
part'cular have special influence namely,
Cardinal Merry del Val, Cardinal Vives y
Tuto and Father Martin, the superior
general of the Jesuits. All three of them
are Spanish, and reactionary. All three are
on Intimate terms owing to their common
racial origin and their IdVaa Spaniard.1,
like Jews, hold together. I am personally
acquainted with Cardinal Vives y Tutu.
During the winter. I spent In Rome with
my family In the time of Leo XIII he was
sent to me on behalf of the Vatican for a
curious negotiation. The object of his mis
sion was to Induce me to make my sub
mission to the pope, while leaving me my
wife, my son and my priestly duties. The
affair could not succeed on account of my
Irreconcilable attitude, but I retain a re
spectful and affectionate recollection of
Hey. Father Joseph Calazanclo de Llevan
eras, which was the name of Cardinal
Vives y Tuto when a member of the Ca
puchin Order before he was promoted car
dinal. He is very ultramontane in his
Ideas, but very Christian In his sentiments.
The same may be said of the pope, whom
I do not know personally, but concerning
whom I am well Informed. He Is a beauti
ful soul, sincere and pious, but with no
real culture. He may read the Abbe Lolsy's
complete works lu order to set his con
science at ease before condemning them.
His state of mind will prevent him from
understanding them, as that of the pope
and the holy office in 1K33 prevented them
from understanulng what they were doing
when they condemned Galileo. Belonging
to a family of the working class, with which
I am far from reproaching him, the pope
has kept all his native uncouthnesa. With
out scientific and political views, this
worthy Italian priest, Giuseppe Sam, Im
agines that he can rule France and the
modern world by divine Inspiration. Deus
provldebit, he says piously after each of his
blunders. That is the whole policy: It Is
aubllme, but Insane. One of my friends
had a private audience with him. Plus X
expressed himself In severe terms concern
ing our prime minister, M. Combes, but,
on the other hand, praised the German em
peror. Forgetting for a moment that the
latter la heretical, schismatlcal and ex
communicated, he called him this holy em
peror (Banto Imperatore).
William II is doubtless a man of superior
mind, but I fancy that he would himself
be much surprised at the new title thus
conferred on him. I do not think, however,
that he will make much use of this canon
ization In order to place his personal In
fluence at the service of the reactionaries
of the clerical party. He is too liberal, at
all events In religion, and too great a
friend of modern culture to shape their
Views and believe in their success.

ago by the Austrian and Russians for a

among other reasons. It was not supported
by General De Glorgls. who as general In
charge of the task of reorganization, was
best able to Judge whether more officers

The two embassies replied. Insisting on
their demand, and took the extraordinary
line that It was for them, and not for Gen
eral De Glorglx, to decide how many for

however, became apparent that their action
was not approved by the other powers In
terested In the Mrtccdonlan question, and
was even regarded In many quarters an an
attempt to weaken the position of the Ital
ian general. In these circumstances the
two governments, while maintaining their
demand, have refrained from pressing It,
ani week after week has gone by without
any sign of the arrival of pew Austrian
and Russian officers.
Meanwhile the situation' has undergone a
considerable change. General De Glorgls
had not objected In principle to an Increase
of European officers. In fact, he had held
from the beginning that such an Increase
would eventually be necessary. But he
was convinced that the proper course was
to get rid of worthless elements among
both officers and men, and to make a be
ginning of the work of reorganization be
fore Importing more officers, and he felt
that the step taken by the Australns and
Russians was premature and therefore 111
advised. He, however, continued to ham
mer away steadily at the task which he
had set himself, and he has now made
enough progress to feel Justified In consid
ering the question of the Increase of Euro
pean officers. He has called together his
foreign adjutants to discuss the matter
with them. This conference, which Is being
held at Salonlca, will decide how many ad
ditional officers are needed In each section.
It will be for the respective embassies to
see that they are engaged.
LONDON, Oct. 29.-(Speclal Cablegram to
The Bee.) Fighting and massacres are still
the order of the day In Armenia. Official
correspondence Issued this week shows that
the aim of the revolutionary bands who
cross the Russian frontier Into Asiatic
Turkey Is to provoke atrocities by the Ot
toman troops In the hope that they will
lead to European Intervention.
The fate of one band, forty-five strong,
Is vividly described. Surrounded by 120
Turkish soldiers, they fought on for twelve
hours, repulsing five Infantry charges and
throwing dynamite bombs at their enemies.
Attacked In the rear by cavalry, they
emptied their magazines aimlessly Into the
troops, and when their ammunition was
exhausted picked up turf and stones to
throw at them. No quarter was given or
asked, and only three Armenians escaped.
GERMANY AND THE VATICAN

Pope.
Kaiser
VIENNA, Oct 29. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) A local news agency, which fre
quently serves as a channel for the ex
pression of diplomatic views, circulates the
following statement, dated from Rome:
In well informed diplomatic circles It Is
asserted that the chief object of Signor
Giollttl's Journey to Hamburg was the
modification of the relationship of Italy to
the Vatican. The Italian premier Is said
to have sought the support of the German
Imperial chancellor for the alms of the
Italian government. In view of the excel
lent relations of Germany with the Vati
can the German Imperial government would
be In a position essentially to further Ital
ian plans, and It Is believed that Count von
Buelow has. exprepsed his willingness to
comply with the wishes of Italy,
Whatever may be thought or said In the
Rome diplomatic circles, to which the
agency claims to have hud access, the views
prevailing among some of the most ex
perienced diplomatists In Vienna strongly
confirm the reports that Germany has em
barked upon a policy designed vastly to In
crease Its Influence at the Vatican. Since
the death of Cardinal Ledochowskl, the
famous predecessor of Cardinal Gotti, pre
fect of the propaganda fide, the German
government hus on more than one occa
sion felt the need of a cardinal resident
In the curia who could be relied upon to
act as the general agent of Germany In the
sacred college. It has, therefore, cast
about for a likely candidate, and has found
such a one In the person of Father Hemp
time, the well known Belgian superior of
the Benedictine monastery on the Aven
tlne. Father Hemptlme, though of Walloon
origin, Is strongly Germanic In sympathies,
and has already received marks of Ger
man Imperial favor. At the present mo
ment he is the object of further flattering
attentions, which have now reached the
point of bringing German Imperial Influ
ence to bear In order to secure for him a
cardinal's hat at the next consistory. To
those who remember the attentions paid
by the German emperor to Father Krug,
the German superior of the Benedictine
monastery at Montecasslno, during the
visit of the German emperor and King
Victor Emmanuel to Montecasslno in 1903,
and again during the visit of the Imperial
yacht Hohenzollern to Naples last spring,
this preference for so distinguished a mem
ber of the Benedictine order as Father
Hemptlme will not appear extraordinary.
Nevertheless It la an interesting detail. In

FRANCE'S INTERESTS MUCH DIFFERENT
Rrpablle Desires to See Russian In
fluence Restored Both In the
Far !l and In Poll
tics In Europe.
PARIS, Oct. 29. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The conservative republican
organ, the Republlque Francaise, M. Rene
Henry, published an urtlcle entitled "Wil
liam II and the Far East," In which he
endenvors to show how the turn of events
In eastern Asia has benefited Germany.
The writer says that, far from having
weakened the position of Germany, the
complications in the far east have consid
erably Improved it. Germany wishes to
weaken the dual alliance by effecting a
rapprochement with one of the parties
to It. So long as Russia's hands were
free It was not likely to listen to ad
vances from Berlin. When, however. It
became involved in the affairs of the far
east Russia found Itself situated, as Ger
many Itself has been, between two fires.
It could only avoid being placed between
the hammer and the anvil, and could on'.y
vigorously pursue Its struggle against
Japan provided It was sure of German
neutrality. The Russo-Japanese war, con
tinues the writer, is, therefore, as favor
able as possible to the European politics
of William II, and as was lately observed
by M. Rene Plnon In the Revue des Deux
Mondes, there can be no doubt that the
German emperor has done his utmost to
promote trouble in the far east.
Forces Treaty on Hussls.
The writer goes on to say that for Ger
many the first concrete and certain result
of the war Is Its supremacy In the Baltic,
which has now become a German lake.
The second, which is equally certain, Is
that Russia, compelled to sacrifice every
thing to the requirements of the cam
pajgn in Manchuria and to the security of
Its western frontier, has accepted a treaty
of commerce which William II could not
have hoped for when the Reichstag voted,
In spite of Count von Buelow, the customs
tariffs, which In normal times would have
been caluculated to provoke a war with
Russia.
What Is more Important than all is that
as long as the Asiatic conflict lasts Russia
will be obliged to humor Germany more
than any other powen M. Rene Henry
adds that William II Is endeavoring to do
what Bismarck did up to 1878 namely, to
maintain a private 'wire with St.' Peters
burg. Finally, he says, that In order that the
Franco-Russian alliance may retain Its
full value and that Germany should not
be all-powerful in Europe, when peace is
signed the far eastern question must re
ceive a definite solution. The Interest of
France Is that Russia should recover its
liberty that la to say, Its position in
Europe. The Interest of Germany, on the
contrary, Is that Russia should not escape
the entanglement In which It now finds
Itself.
RELIGION ISJJOT ALL FREE
filiates of Russia Find No Relief In
Spite of C'sar'a Recent
Manifesto,
MOSCOW, Oct. 29, (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Although the czar, In his man
ifesto of last year, proclaimed as his pol
icy the toleration of all religious denomina
tions, the Unlates In the provinces of Sied
lee and Lubln are still deprived of their
clergy, their churches have been converted
to other purposes and they cannot be mar
ried or burled or their children christened,
except according to the rites of the Rus
sian orthodox church.
Last July a Unlate priest came from
Gallcla In the dtsgulsj of a locksmith, and
for several weeks secretly read mass and
administered the sacraments to the Uniate
peasantry. These services took place at
night and In remote barns, a number of
peasants standing outside to give the alarm
in case they should be discovered. The
Russian clergy having got wind of these
secret meetings communicated with the au
thorities, who have started a rigorous In
quiry, in some cases, it is said, even using
violence to elicit Information from the peas
antry on the subject. The Unlate priest,
however, has escaped and returned to
Gallcla.
WANTS CAT ON QUARTERDECK
Bernard Shaw Becomes Sarcastic In
Fight Against Flogging In
British Navy.
LONDON, Oct. 29.-(Speclal Cablegram to
The Bee.) "The Chinese, lnveterately
democratic and logical, flog their admirals
aa well as their humbler heroes," says G.
Bernard Shaw, returning In the Times to
his attack on flogging In the navy.
If ftogghig Is all that our admirals say It
la. the quarterdeck should be strenuously
kept -up to the mark by the cat and the
birch, for an admiral can send a battleshlD
to the bottom where a boy can only hurt
his own digestion by a clandestine cigar
ette. The case against flogging la exactly
parallel with the case against Industrial
swearing. Some admirals cannot command
without flogging, Just as some employers
cannot command without swearing. NubU-r
men can and will that Is enough for us.

EMIGRANTS ARE GIVEN TIPS
British Information Office Issnes Bul

LONDON, Oct. 9. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The November c.rcul.trs of the
emigrants' Information office and the an
nual editions of the penny handbooks show
ing the present prospects of cmlg.ailon
have been Issued.
The emigrants' Information office stales
that though the third-class fare to Canada
Is now as low as 2 10 to 3, ,t Is too late
In the year for the ordinary emigrant to
go there in search of work unless ha can
keep himself through the winter. During
last summer the demand tor farm laborers,
especially In Ontario, was very large. The
building, metal, engineering ami manufac
tuilng trades generally have been busy f..r
some time, and skilled men, such as car
penters, bricklayers, maons. sawmlllers,
woodworkers, coopers etc., have had no
difficulty In procuring wtrk, but now the
supply of mechanics ai.d general laborers
Is quite sufficient. On the coa-st if British
Columbia employment hus not betn s.)
good, but at the Rosilanu gold mines and
neighboring mining districts there has
been considerable Improvement and a fair
demand for skilled artisan and nuneis
At the Nanalmo coal mines, however, on
Vancouver Island, wcrk has teun slack.
There Is a great demand for female serv
ants everywhere, but female factory hand
are not rtcommerded to go out ui.le-s they
have secured work beforehand.
In Australia there Is a demand for ex
perienced farm laborers. In western Au
stralia, Queensland and parts of Vlctoiia,
and for female servants in most district.
There is little demand fir miners, mechan
ics or general laborer. Late reports fr m
New South Wales state that owing to the
severity of the lute diouih and the num
bers of the unemployed no one without
capital should cmlgiate to New South
Wales at the present time. The ordinary
fare to Australia Is somewhat less than
It was and certain classes of emigrants
who have friends In Queensland and west
ern Australia are eligible for reduced nom
inated passages to thote states.
In New Zeuland employment has been
good, and skilled mechanics, farm laborers,
and female servants should be able to ob
tain work without waiting long Reduced
passages are given to persons possessing
fixed incomes or a' capital of at leust 50.
There are good openings for farmers with
a little capital.
In Cape Colony no personB are now al
lowed to land unless they have secured def
inite employment and possess 20 on ar
rival, to have permits to enter the Trans
vaal or Orange River Colony. The labor
market at Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East
London, Kimberley and elsewhere Is un
able to obtain work. There 1b no demand
for farm hands, but there Is pome demand
for female servants. In Natal labor Is
plentiful, and lurge numbers of unskilled
and Indifferent workmen are unable to ob
tain employment. Emigrants, therefore,
other than those obtaining nominated pas
sages, are warned against going there.
SPAIN DISLIKES THE NEW RULES
Order Abolishing- Sunday Bull Fights
Meets with Opposition In -
.. Vans- Quarters.
y
MADRID, Oct. 29. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The burning question of the day
In Spain Is the threatened extinction of bull
fighting, the famous sport which the Span
lards call their national pastime.
It is true that the prohibition of the cruel
game by the Maura government only ap
plies to Sundays, the object being to en
force the recently passed Sabbath rest law.
but as the enormous expenses entailed by
these spectacles can only be met by a
large concourse of spectators, who cannot
attend butl fights on working days, the
measure decided on by the government
and rigorously enforced by the provincial
authorities Is equivalent to the total sup
pression of the favorite popular amuse
ment. Senor Maura's bold decision has caused
more excitement and discontent than any
other of the pressing questions before the
country.
Not long ago the Illustrious Spaniard,
Jovollanos, said, with a touch of Irony,
"To govern Spain one only needs two
things bread and bulls, (pan y toros)," But
under the new dispensation there will be
neither bread nor bulls on Sunday, for
neither the "toreros" nor the journeymen
bakers must work on that day.
Madrid, Valencia and quite a' dozen other
cities where the rights of the arenas are
farmed out to speculators will lose large
sums by the new law. In the capital a
revenue of 10.000 a year was received from
this course, which went to support a hos
pital and other works of mercy. In several
towns the hoHpltals, asylums and refuges
were maintained entirely by these pay
ments. Another serious feature Is the throwing
out of work of at least 1,000.000 persons In
Spain who depended on bull fighting for
their livelihood. The new law also means
ruin to the farms where fighting bulls are
trained, such as the famous establishment
of the duke of Veragua.
The only hope Is that the premier will
yield to the numerous and Influential ap
peals for the revocation of the law which
are pouring In upon htm from all parts of
the country.
It Is chiefly the fault of the "prlmeros
espadas," or leading bull fighters, that the
national sport pays only when Sunday ex
hlbltlons are given. The times are long
past when the best swordsmen received
5 per performance. The price has steadily
risen and Is now fairly Arm at 400. It
was only natural that after a few years
the famous "torero" Guerlto was able to
amass an ample fortune, which he la now
peacefully enjoying.
The noted swortiHmen of the day, like
Fuentaa and Bomblta-Chlco, earn the sal
aries of first-rank tenorB.
TRAMCARS REDUCE BEER SALES
Improved Condition of British Work
men Has Had Effect on
Breweries.
LONDON, Oct. 29. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The causes for the decreased
consumption of beer were the aubject of
speculation at the annual meeting of the
Bath brewery (limited). The directors re
ported that the continued depression In
trade, and especially In the brewing Indus
try, was such that the profits for the last
year were only sufficient to meet the fixed
Interest charges. Colonel Clutterbuck, J. P.,
the chairman, thought that the decreased
consumption of beer was largely duo to
the better housing of the working classes
and, further, to the electric trams which
conveyed them to and from their work at a
cheap rate. The tram saved the working
man a good deal of temptation. He wt.
conveyed past the licensed houses to his
home, which was more comfortable now
than formerly. They rejoiced very much
If that were the case. The directors did
not want to sell their beer at the cost of

Comparative quiet prevails at the scene
of operations In Manchuria, the combat
ants apparently being satisfied with their
successes in minor engagements, but the
weather having again become warm and
fine, the belief is general that an advance
by the Russians will shortly begin. In
diplomatic circles In St. Petersburg Intense
Interest is displayed in the arrangements
regarding the investigation of the North
sea Incident. Most of the details for the
carrying out of the Investigation have been
arranged.
NUMBER OF DEAD UNCERTAIN
Work of Removing; Bodies from the
Wrecked Mine nt Terclo Pro.
ceeds Slowly.
TRINIDAD, Colo., Oct. 29.-The number
of miners killed by the mine explosion
yesterday In Terclo is ptlll uncertain.
Local officials of the Rocky Mountain Coal
and Iron company declare that bo far aa
they know, there were only twenty-one
men In the mine at the time of the ex
plosion. Reliable minora employed In the
cump say that there were between thirty
and sixty men in the mine. The regular
force numbered eighty, but It Is said that
about thirty of them went to Trinidad
yesterday to take out naturalization papers
preparatory to election. The reason the
number at work Is not positively known Is
because the men are checked off when leav
ing the mine Instead of when going In.
The number of dead will not be ascertained
until after the mine is thoroughly ex
plored. The men are foreigners who had
been recently Imported to take the place
of the strikers, and their narnea have not
been learned.
Three Bodies Recovered.
Hundreds of miners from other camps
are working In three-hour shifts In the
effort to reach the bodies, but the work
Is slow and extremely dangerous on ac
count of the formation, the ground con
stantly sliding and caving In. Three bodies,
so badly burned and mutilated as to be
unrecognizable, were taken out at 6 p. m.
They were found near the first air shaft
Most of the other dead are supposed to
be In rooms 24 to 30, about 1,000 feet fur
ther In the tunnel. The mine is completely
wrecked. A great fall of rock blocked the
entrance and It took nearly all day to block
up the pit mouth sufficiently to permit
reacuors to venture Inside. Almost every
prop was blown from the Inside of the
mine and the whole entry waa blocked
by huge rocks. The mine Is oh what Is
known aa a pitching vein and there Is only
one entry, a tunnel running near the base
of the mountain.

Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to
The, Bee.) The Dogger bank Incident la
considered here as having been closed when
the emperor's proposal regarding The
Hague conference was accepted by Eng
land. Pi-of. Martens will be Russia's legal rep
resentative. Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
will detach officers from Rear Admiral
'Folkcrsam's squadron, the one that did the
shooting.
There Is no question of the fleet being
detained. Any such attempt on the part
of England, according to the highest au
thority, would be regarded as a casus belli.

PETERSBURG, Oct. 3D. The Aa-
ed Press Is unable to obtain con-
Ion of the report that Vice Admiral
tvensky has offered to resign, a
tent to which effect has -been cabled
to thle United States. There Is not the
slightest disposition on the part of the
admiralty to doubt the entire veracity of
his report The admiralty declares that
It has no knowledge regarding the state
ment that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's
ships 'were Injured by fire from other ves
sels of the squadron, and It also declines
to entertain the idea that the Russian ad
miral rnjght have sunk one of his own tor
pedo bdo.ts, mistaking It for a hostile
craft. The version of the affair to this
effect which Is circulating In St. Peters
burg is baaed on the fact that only seven
Russian torpedo boats have arrived at Al
giers, whereas Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
left Russia with eight such craft
British Ships at Vigo.
VIGO, Spain, Oct. 29. The Russian squad
ron is still In port. Upon the main ques
tion relative to the Identity of the Jap
anese torpedo boats said to have been
among the Hull fishing fleet during the
night of October 21-22. Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky said to the Associated Praia
today;
Rumors had reached me that the Jap
anese would attack the squadron and when
1 suddenly saw that night the two torpedo
bouts between our two divisions and neard
the. nolle of the firing of torpedoes I
doubted not that they were Japanese.
Prince Keretelli, an officer on board th
battleship Emperor Alexander III told ma
that the transport Areadaur was sur
rounded by eight torpedo boats or vessel
currying torpedo tubes. The Areadeur
signaled Its danger and when our battle
ships advunced we did not for one mo
ment suppose that the attacking vessel
could be fishermen.
The British consul here has received tela
graphic instructions to prepare for pro
visioning the channel squadron, which ar
rives at Vigo tonight or tomorrow.
The marine commandant haa been author
ized to permit the Russian squadron to re
main at this port should the Inquiry Into
the North sea Incident be held here.'
Later In the day u British cruiser arrived
from the south, anchored outside the har
bor and exchanged salutes with the fort
and the Russian squadron. Th cruiser
turned out to be the Lancaster. It com
mander shortly after went on board the
Russian flagship, Kniax Souvaroff, and had
a conference lusting 'twenty minutes with
Admiral Rojestvensky. The Lanoaster sub
sequently sailed, cloarlng th harbor at
p. in.
Five other British warships are outside
the Clea Island, in the bay of Vigo.

TOKIO, Oct. 29.-2:30 p. m.-Th reported
statement of an officer on board th Rus
sian battleship Emperor Alexander III,
with the Rusalan Baltic squadron now at
Vigo, Spain, to th effect that there wer
foreign torpedo' boats among the Hull
trawlers when they wer fired upon re
cently by the Russian warships, and that
the Japanese government was said, to
have purchased torpedo boats In England,
coupled with th Insinuation that th tor.
pedo boats with th trawlers wer Japan
eke, ha been received in Japan with a
mixed fueling of Indignation and derision.
It Is officially dei lured lit th most posi

chased nor ordered a single torpedo boat
in England since th outbreak of th war.
