At the? m time. the unpopularity of projects sr In these two spheres Is acknowledged, and when Herr von KardoJT. one of the Icad- Ing advocates of weltpolltlk and of a great navy, addressed the Relchstan on the navul estimates last session, he owned that he , despaired With regard to the future of I Oerman naval development unit- the gov- ernment were prepared to entertain the I Idea of an extension of taxation on an entirely new basis.

Lord Methuen, general officer of the new eastern command, which extends roughly from the Huber to Ports tnoath. Is expressed to meet the landlords In conference next week. The government. It is understood. Is de sirous of . carrying out the scheme with every possible consideration for landlord and tenant Onty a tenth, at the utmost, of the area of the proposed new training ground Is under cultivation, and vast tracts of Jownlands are used for no purpose at all. What Is proposed Is, that Lord Methuen should, on behalf of the army council, acuulrh by agreements for a term of twenty-one yeara, terminable at seven or fourteen years,, the light of moving and training troops In the area. For the right of maneuvering- the authorities propose 'to pay the landlords 1. shilling per acre per year, wlfti compensation, paid direct to the tenants, for any damages done.

FALL IN PRICE OF WAR MEDALS Dropplig Oat of the Market of Col lectors Canoe Big Slump- la the Demand. m LONDON, Nov. 2S.-(8peclal Cablegram to The Be.)-All markets are liable to fluc tuations, and that for war medala Is JuM now experiencing s father violent swing back of the pendulum. That these sou venirs will eventually recover their former values scarcely admits of doubt. For one thing they grow older and historically more Important. For another, there Is al ways the possibility that a drop in prices may Induce a fresh set of collector to enter the urena. For the moment, how ever, the market is somewhat upset by the death of a greit collector, who spent freely. Dealers, with an eye to the main chance, bought considerable quantities of medal". find for a time turned them over again at a good margin of profit Now they find a slackened demand and themselves the holders of goods on which they cannot realize at anything UHe the prices aC which they acquired them. There Is nothing tor It.' apparently, but patience. Unique examples are probably quite worth their meoey today, but they must possess exceptional associations. Of this type are the bugle and four medals of Trumpet Major Joy, who sounded the chorgc at Balaclava. They were sold In vm f r 71. As much aa 1.01 has been klven for the Peninsular gold cross, but that was probnbly exceptlnnnl, and 550 Is a later figure. When Nelson won the battle of the Nile, a Alexander Davidson was so annoyed that no medsl was presented to Kngland's naval hero that he had one struck on his own account, In gold, silver, bronxe and pewter. The gold ppeclmen, which he gsve to NHnon. wns sold thre yesrs. ago at the King street rooms and brought 1W. For the Victoria Cross the highest price obtained at the same mart was 100 guineas. This was given to a mem ber of the Shannon naval brljfitde, and Ih doubtless more valuable on account of the exceptlonnl character of the act of gal lantry which Is recorded. The trophy, It hi Interesting to record, was once panned for E shilling Today a Victoria Cioss Is worth from ) to 30. South African war medals have het-n dumped on the market. When they were first Inmied they were worth 6 at auc tion. Now a medal with six bar can be got for 10 shillings Crimean medals with four bars are today 30 per cent cheaper than they were five years ago. The highest price paid for a private soldier's Peninsular medal wns for one with thirteen bars. This brought 60 guineas and afterward "es caped" In the pot. Old Indian medals are highly esteemed, and an officer's, worth In trinsically something like half a crown, has byen known to fetch 6. The fall at the present time, as has been suggested. Is among the more mediocre class of decora tion. Collectors of medals are numbered by the hundred, and, therefore, there Is a level of values beyond which descent Is practically Imposalble. Perhaps the kind est way of putting the present position Is to say that there hus been a pause In the upward movement and a sagging which was Inevitable pending the entry of some new Richmond Into the field. DISCUSS WORK BY CHINESE e ' Zealand Would Bar Tbem, hat Employer Mr. They-Aro ' ' ' ' Saaeessfui, . WELLINGTON. New Zealand.' Nov. 28. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) parlia ment haa passed 'a resolution protesting against the Introduction- of Chinese labor Into the Tranrvaal. The piemler described the system as semi-slavery, adding that the fair fame of Britain bad tarnkihed ani that after the colonial assistance g.ven to the Boer the government's action was disastrous and almost heartbreak. ng. The leader of the oppoahlou. while not opposing the motion, deprecated interfer ence with the government of an ther colony, and suggested doubling the poll tax In order to further restrict the entry of Chines into New Zealand. He pointed out that the fruit and vegetable trade In New Zealand was in the hands of the Chi nes. LONDON. Nov. . 26. (Speolal Cablegram to The Bee.) Lord Harris, in his c partly as chairman of the Consolidated G ldtlelis of Souih Africa, made tome ttrc.g . e marks on the recent bitter oppobl.lon to Chinees labor at a crowded meeting of the shareholders this week. He remaiked that the animus which was Introduced Into the ques.lon had be i bit terly resented In Johannesburg, but It waa recognised that Ignorance of the tao of the case had been responsible fur tnuoh that was unieatonable. It had been urged that Jjje introduction of Ch.neso would deprive the white woiking man of h.a means of livelihood in the mine.. Lord Harris denied this most strongly and .demonstrated clearly that there were mora white men employed on the Rand at the present moment than before the war, and aa the complement of Chinese in creased so would the demmd fer skilled la bor. He maintained, moieover, trfat If the question of the repatriation of the Chinese wer aerlouMy conoide. ed the first to op pose It would, be the white working man. Anil-Chinese .agitation had also mad much of the loss of Kaffir labor owing to the want of agreement Lt.wcta na.lvcs and the Imported laborers. Th chairman reported a great inciease In the numjer of the Kaffirs on the Hand, wh.le the a. le gation of dli agreement te w n the two i races waa em. rely mythical. It was suggested by the chairman that the recent depie.tlun In th ha res of tu company was due to "tear" sel ing and not ro much of the discontinuance of th publication of the ahaieho.ders. The letter may have been a contributory cau , and the.efcr for the fu.ure the direo.ora pio poned to revert to their former practice next jear.' HAUNTED HOUSE IN COURT Irish Jadae Releases Man from HI. Agreement to Parchaa Bulldlnn: Inhnblted by Spook. LONDON, . Nov. 24. --(Special Cablegram to The .liee.) One of the reason, given by a Mr. O'Hagan, a resident In Grange mouth, Scotland, for not carrying out Ills agreument to purcl.ate a house and land at DrumlUk, County Tyrone, was that the house was haunted. The Irish master of the rolls. In giving Judgment in the action against Mr. O'liagan, seeking to compel him to carry out his agreement to purchuse, said that Mrs. O'Hagan might not like to bring her children to a house said to be haunted. There wer people, he went on, who, although they denied the existence of ghoits, would not care to sleep In a hkunted room. It would not be a good defense In law, but It was a reason for getting out of the bargain. Ther wer other points also raised, and th Judgment relaased Mr. O'liagan from hi. agreement t take th "haunted house.'" PICK FLAWS IN BILL Premier Cemboe' Plan for Separation of .

Combs." ' M. Clemenceau's objects tend to confirm the impression produced upon an Impar tial observer by a first reading of tbe gov ernment's scheme, namely, that It seems to suffer from the double evil of over-Interference, likely to reao.lt In constant frio tldh and overcentrallsatlon, almost neces sarily Involving local discontent. In these respects It goes further, than the project of the commiHslon. It Is probable that the British wjrklngman, for instance, would vigorously protest against such a restric tion of his right of combination, as also J against the state control of the funds of his trade unions. Much Trouble Would Follow. Iu tue course of a somewhat aestrucllvo analysis of the government scheme, M. Cieiuenceau dwells upon the danger of "iiaiesa litigation wluun would arise from tho government's omission to rcguiate tiitr rights ol property InVoived in the proposed settlement. His principal' objection," how ever. Is against the continued posaiuldty of Interference by the government In ecclesi astical attalrs. "M. Com ties wishes that a himself and his successors may have a hold on the clergy through the right to grant or to refute the use of tacjtt vf the sacred 01 flees. This regime could only be- wcrked IX the concession wer of short duration. ' M. Combes apparently supposes that the clergy could not be very dangerous in a period of ten years. This la the regime of the concordat over again, with all its dangers aggravated by the liberty enjoyed by the associations for the main Una nc of publlo worship. Such a regime could not fail to Increase the cleri cal power tenfold." The moderate republican organ, the Ro publlque Frencalse, considering the ques tion from an entirely different standpoint, la still more sever In its strictures. It qualifies th government scheme as a "vile and vicious persecution," by which even tolerant and free thinkers, aa well as Protestants and Jews, will bs revolted. This, of course, Is a hostile and partisan view, but the objections of such an in fluential friend as M. Clemenceau clearly reveal the difficulty of tbe task undertaken by the government. YOUTH UP FOR LESE MAJESTE Child of Thirteen Senteaced to Three Months' Imprisonment In Poland. BERLIN, Nov. VS.- (dpeciul Cablegram to The liee.) Unusual attention it being di rected here to a case of lese majeste "which occurred In the town of Llssa, In Posen. A little boy of 13 years, named Adelbert Grcabka, haa been sentenced to three months' Imprisonment for this crime. Grzabka Is not quite the youngest child who has suffered for committing thl. of- fense, as some three years, ago there was a lad of U who got a fortnight's confine ment for using Insulting words about th king of Prussia. Urxubka, li la solemnly related, was In th habit of consorting with other boys on the street and discussing with them the Polish Insurrection of lies and the present Russo-Japanese war.' In his mature Judg- nient Ursabka waa of opinion that Ger- many haa not observed strict neutrality, and, dragging the kaiser's nam Into his Impeachment of German policy, he stamped with both hi. feet. The attempt to con strue this outburst of childJsh petulance into a crime deserving thre months In Jail is almost universally condemned and will powerfully contribute toward the agi tation being carried on to abolish alto gether those absurd and antiquated enact ments dealing with lese majeste. Besides, Gnabka it a Pole, and hit imprisonment adds another Vo th. number of martyrs who ar being continually cited by Polish demagogue at victims of. Prussian despot- Ism.

I deal with the scheme pro I pounded by you, and with that scheme alone: and I wrote, and now repeat, that. as fur as I can make out, It Is commonly believed that, although the members of your association do not think It unworthy of them to po before the world as Its true authors, you are In truth not the au thors, or framers, or Insplrers of It at all. and that your pretended authorship oT It Is an Imposture. What real unionists want to know," the attorney general ndds, "is whether the devolution scheme la from top to bottom the genuine work of twenty-five ur.lonl.it IrlKhmen, ns you represent It to be. or Is a home rule's bantling which your asHoclatlon has foolishly and thoughtlessly taken In to nurse."

A meeting of local nationalists was held this week at the city hall for the purpose of "organizing" the city and establishing brunches of the United Irish league In the various wards Hitherto tho league haa fayed to secure any footing In Dublin, and thfs meeting was only the last of many at tempts to establish the league there. The lord mayor presided. Mr. John Redmond, M. P., said that Dublin had lagged behind th rest of the country In Its support of the national organisation. They were ap proaching a political period of extraordi nary Interest and delicacy and of extraor dinary hope for Ireland.-There was a con viction among all parties that the present system of government in Ireland must go. The' working of the last year's land act would tend to mitigate the hostility of at least ono of the classes In Ireland that were opposed to th popular demands.- In these circumstances their success must soon be Insured by the possession of a united organisation and a united party. The members of th Irish party must al ways retain full liberty of discussion. But alt decision, on questions of poller must be absolutely binding on th partjr a Whole. Tfca Irish party had' given a gen eral support to' the government, and the question before them at the beginning of last session was whether that support could be continued. He had advised the cc. .ntry to go on supporting tire government so long ad the government went on Introduc ing useful legislation - for Ireland. That policy, th policy of conditional support, waa adopted unanimously by the Irish party, and at the beginning of last session he had questlpned the government about Its Intentions with regard to) Ireland. The an swer was entirely unsatisfactory. Mr. Wyndham had refused t consider the uni versity question until thisre was "unanim ity" about it in Ireland. They had decide! to attack the government and they had at tacked It to the best or their ability. If they had secured the whole-hearted sup port of the liberal party the government would have gone out several months ago, He appealed to the nationalists of Dublin to reorganise the Unite it Irish league In the city and to assist more generously the funds of the Irish part P., and others spoke.

RUSSIAN WARSHIPS ARE NOW AT SUEZ All of th Baltlo Sqaadron Has Km terd tho Canal on It Way to tho Fas? ,n; . J MUKDEN, Nov. atl.-Th Japanese, No vember 16, again made a preliminary bom bardment of Poutiloff hill, under the cover of which they attacked, but wer- repulsed, Ther wer encountors at other places along the front, but they wer In th na ture of small brushes and mostly took place at night Yesterday there was a light fall of snow and the surrounding country now baa all the appearance of winter. Japanese attempts to mount guns on Huantaya 1.111 failed. Russian chasseur, have occupied th wood near Lone Tree hill. At Llnshlpu, of which town the north am half la In Russian hands and th southern half Is held by Japanese, th trenches are 120 paces apart and It Is pos sible In th silence of the night to distin guish the voice, of the Japanese. Some time, men on both side, strike up a con versation, many of the Japanese speaking excellent Russian. Tho soldiers good na turedly abuse on another and pass In vitations to come and take dinner or drink tea. Often the Japanese tantalize the Russians by showing them that they hav vodka to drink and of which th Russians have none. Th Japanese continually al lowed th Russians to gather fuol on nou tral ground at Llnshlnpu, when they wer unarmed. Then they suddenly flred, killed two Russians and wounded one. While the trenches are 120 paces apart, the Russian aftd Japanese picket, are now only forty paces distant from each other, but there Is no firing. One Japanese sen. try fell asleep at his post and a Russian " soldier left the trenches, crept up and stole ' his gun and returned without awakening Mm. The Japanese at one time attempted to dig trenches fifteen pace, away from the Russians, but were driven off. ' Fighting on Russian Left. FIDYATATUN (Six miles east of Shakhe), Nov. 26. Since November 23 there haa been light engagements day and night. On November 24 Japanese artillery began fir- -Ing on Novgorod hill. Russian artillery men say the shell. Indicate they wer fired from wornout guns. The Japanese are evidently trying- to Increase the num ber of their guns. They are evidently bringing up old style guns. Th Chines . say numbers of old style cannon are In Llao Yang. November 24 an artillery duel ' took place. The Japanese bombarded -Poutiloff hill, tbe Russian, replying, but not vigorously. On November 25 an interesting Incident occurred near Nanganza. For aeveral day. a figure had been observed In a sitting posture In full Russian uniform and It was supposed wounded, but each attempt at -rescue was met with a murderous fire, rendering approach Impossible. At last . tlx men succeeded In creeping up and found a decomposing corpse, which they wer able, In the face of a furious fire, to drag fifty feet. Next day the corpse was dis covered to be tn the tame place, the Japa nese evidently using It as a decoy, know ing that the Russians would make every effort to rescue a comrade's body. A few volunteers finally rescued the dead man. tinder cover of darkness. He was recog nized a. a corporal of the Wllmanstrand regiment, who had been killed six week ago. Campaign Over for Wlnt-r. I MTJKDEN, Nov. 2S -Via. Pekln, Nov, 26. The lapse of six weeks without fighting on any large seal confirming tho belief that th opposing armies have relaxed for the winter, together with the unexpected demonstration of force which the Russian, have been able to micke since the depletion of their army aa th result of the fighting on the Shakhe river, emphasize conclu sively the failure of tbe Japs to prevent tho assembly of a large Russian army In Man churia before spring, thus defeating th et rate ;y of th Japanese and their most plausible plans for th arllest occupation of Manchuria. This outcome, takan In connection with the general situation, appear to guarantee that with the opening of spring ther will begin a contest far mor terrible than any yet fought, and point to the termination of tho war tn the next campaign. It la v, till possible that there will be a general ' attack during the winter, but the weather is now broken and uncertain and seemingly render.
