LONDON, April lo.-V'sjUtlal Cablegram
to The Bee.) J. E. F. Fuller. M. P., In the
course of in Interview,' relating to Mr.
Redmond's assertion that' lie and his friends
could 'make "the government of Ireland a
Sheer Impossibility, and' It would be the
dtsjy'fcf the Irish party to make It so If It
was attempted', to be run cm the lines of
Iord rt(Vebeis dishonorable recantation of
bis pledges- ort home rule," said :
The "dishonorable recantation" referred
to la presumably to be found In Lord Rose
bery's speech at the City Liberal club. In
that speech he Is reported to have made
the two following contentions:
First That a possible liberal government
could not pass a measure of devolution In
Ireland without a further and pacific ap
peal to the constituencies.
ISecond That "dual government at the
heart of the empire" on the lines that now
obtain In Austria-Hungary and Norway
Bweden would be "dangerous." It Is not
easy to see wherein this pronouncement
any recantation, dishonorable or otherwise,
Is to he found, nor. I susnect. are there
many liberals who would deny either of
Lord Rosebory's propositions.
Put It Is well to call to mind .Mr. Red
mond's own attitude toward home rule. He
has had the last word on the subject. (In
February 11, 1898. he moved an amendment
to the address to the crown, of which the
following was the substantive proposal:
"That the demand for Irish self-govern-
ot an Independent Parliament, and an exo
rutlve responsible thereto, for all nff ilra
V distinctly Irish." In support of this prnpn-
V ell Ion he stated that "the plain truth Is
." that Irishmen todav hate English rule, and
f that they will never desist until they have
succeeded In rescuing their country rrom its
grssp."
His amendmnt was seconded by J.
O'Kelly, M. P.. who, In the course of his
remarks, stated that "no concession of
local government can ever satisfy the Irish
ieoplo demand tor a national rariiameni.
f we cannot obtain what Is our right by
rotiment we will obtain It bv force."
1 There the matter stands. Mr. Redmond Is
i presumably not prepared for any dishonor
able recantation, and no one saks him to
. make one; but I venture to think that he
1 should be the last to accuse liberals of
i being "firmly rooted to the dishonor of
j foresworn pledges to Ireland" when his
I present policy, unless dishonorably re
canted, Is one which Mr. Gladstone himself
I would have been the first to oppose.
' ., Lord Arebury on situation.
L la an tutervlew, Lord Avebury's atten
tlon was called to Lord Roscbery's recent
declaration on home rule, and was asked,
after reading the letter's remarks.-If lie
(Lord Avebury) could see anything to pre
vent tree trade unionists, realising how
great were the dangers of Mr. Chamber
lain's policy, from supporting all liberal
candidate who were sound on the fiscal
question. His lordship replied:
In any great party there must be many
differences, and our present system Is not
well adapted to elicit the real opinion of
the country. This is the main reason which
has made some of us so strongly advocate
proportional representation. 1 was glad to
read Lord Rosebery's speech practloally
abandoning home rule, but his views have
not been adopted either by Lord Spencer
or by Sir Henry Campbell-Bannernian. As
regards the fiscal question, I take the pres
ent position to be this. Some great manu
facturers are In favor of protection because
they believe they would get higher nrices
for their products. On the other hand, our
leading economists ure almost all free
traders; so are. the great en-officials both
of the treasury and the Board of Trade;
nnd so, lastly, are the working men and
agricultural laoorers, wno tiunK, as 1 tie-
lleve rigniiy 1111111, intit pruiei-uon wuuiu
mean less employment, lower wages and
higher prices for the necessaries of life.
Mr. Balfour Is a free trader, though not, I
am afraid. In what w should consider the
true sense. Under the circumstances, how
ever I shall not believe, until I see it, that
his 'majesty's government will court al
most Inevitable defeat by going to the
country with a protectionist program.
Ashbourne on Devolution.
Lord Ashbourne, lord chancellor of Ire
land, addressing a large unloniat meeting
here, said, with regard to Ireland, that
jhhe greatest and noblest of their duties
ffiji was to maintain the union and to repudi
ate and contest all men nd measures that
threatened to Imperil the union. Lately
they had had Lord Dunraven's devolution
scheme, but the cry of universal indigna
tion with which It wns received showed
that Ita true meaning was seen Into. It
was a side and insidious attack on the
greatness of the Imperial Parliament and
the unity of the empire. What would be
the good of trying to bind the empire to
gether by stronger ties If at their doors,
undvr the cry of devolution delegation,
they sapped that unity of Purltament and
Us work. Efforts had been made to draw
the government Into some kind of com
plicity with that mischievous and Impossi
ble scheme, but they had signally failed.
Every minister had repudiated the scheme.
The opposition had to speak, but they did
not Ilka It, and It was hard to know what
they meant because Mr. Redmond, tho able
leader of the Irish nationalist party, was
not a man to tand any nonsense. Tie
would have no shilly-shallying, but plain
speaking and clear action, or he would
know the reason why. The unionlrts hmi
a leader whom they honored and trusted,
and they looked to the country to continue
to extend to Mr. Balfour's givtrnnient con
fUlence und support.

CHRISTIAN I A, April 13. (ispecial Cable

the famous Arctic explorer, has Issued a
statement concerning the present Nor
1 wcgiun-Swedish conlllct, In defence of
Norway's contention of the right to appoint
, Its own consuls. He says, in part:
j "The present Norwegian constitution Is
j founded on the 'Grundlov,' which was
j agreed upon by the representatives of the
j nation at Eidsvold in May, 1814, when union
! with Sweden was not contemplated. Only
I a few points of this Grundlov were revised
by a special Storthing called together for
of the various districts, the exercising of Tu. . T .u . 7i

the deputation were: Duke of Abercorn,
Sir Herbert Maxwell, M. P.; Captain Elllca,
M. P.; Major Travers, Sir Robert Mon
crleffe and Mr. Tcwae, ck-rk to the Fish
monger's company.
Lord Llmllthgow, secretary for Scotland,
who received the deputation. In reply said
In the prent state of legislation the gov
ernment could not take up the bill. He
suggested, however, that a conference
should be held between the deputation and
the Scottish department, which might lead
to satisfactory results. He viewed the pro
posals of the bill with the most friendly
eye and approved of it as far as he could
officially, but there were points of a con
tentious character, and these might possi
bly be smoothed over and put Into a form
In which the department might be able to
support the bill.

year, it having been decided In October
that Norway nnd Sweden should be united
as two 'free and Independent' kingdoms
under one sovereign. There Is nothing
whatever either In the Norwegian or Swed
ish 'Grundlov' of tho nature of a treaty or
union; they appertain only to each country
separately, and this view has also been ac
cepted and recognised by the Swedish gov
ernment (April 17, 1885). Everything that
was to concern the countries jointly was
embodied In a separate special treaty the
'Rigsakt' of August 6, 1815. This must be
carefully borne In mind If we are to get a
Just verdict on the present issue the ap
pointment of our own separate consuls.
The Rigsakt Itself contains not a word
about consuls at all, and the two countries
are therefore not bound by treaties to have
them in common; they are not bound either
legally or morally to a partnership in the
matter.
"On the other hand the Norwegian
'Grundlov' deals with the consul question,
and the clause referring to consuls stands
unaltered In the form originally agreed
upon at the Eidsvold assembly, before the
union. It Is therefore the Intent of the
Grundlov' that Norway could have its
own consuls

has in recent times been shown to be er

Swedish committee unanimously agreed and
resolved that a system of separate consuls
is quite practicable without danger to the
present unity in foreign affairs. Both
Swedish and Norwegian governments, as
well as the crown, have later concurred irf
that pronouncement and have agreed to
the principle recommended as practicable.
It Is therefore certain that the Swedish
standpoint namely, that the partnership Is
an essential and inevitable result of the
union, Is demonstrably and historically
incorrect; that fact Is, moreover, actually
as recognlxed by the Swedish government
itself.

BALKAN AFFAIRS IN BAD WAY
Dlatlart Increase la Felt la the Ten
sion Between Turkey and
Bulgaria.
SOFIA. April . (Special Cablegram to
The Bee) There has been of Isle a dis
tinct increase In the tension between Tur
key and Bulgaria and a hated controversy
is In progress. The ministerial Journal,
Nov Vek, openly charges Turkey with the
Intention of crushing the Bulgarian ele
ment In Macedonia and declare that
provocative measures have been adopted
by the military and civil authorities with
this object.
However this may be, the military pro
gram adopted by the Turkish authorities
in Macedonia would appear to have been
attended with some success, as reports
come from various quarters of the annihi
lation of Bulgarian bands. Annihilation
seems to be the approved method of pro
cedure, as In the more recent accounts of
the destruction of the bands there Is no
mention of prisoners. This success, how
ever, is merely temporary, for fresh bands
are taking the place of those which have
perished, while the vexatious measures put
In force against the rural population, the
perquisitions, the arrests, the curfew sys
tem, the closing of churches and schools
and the continual Interference with Indi
vidual liberty will sooner or later drive
the peasants to desperation and precipitate
an Insurrectionary movement.
Meanwhile the activity of Greek and
Servian bands is on the Increase and the
situation dally Is growing worse, largely
owing to the conduct of the authorities,
who frequently foment the religious and
racial feuds of the Christians. Owing to
their connivance and benevolent neutrality
the Greek bands enjoy practical immunity
in certain districts, and savage reprisals
have followed on the part of the Bul
garians. The only satisfactory feature In
the situation is stated to be the gendarm
erie, against which there are now no com
plaints on the part of tho population, but
the powers of the foreign officers are lim
ited and their activity encounters a certain
amount of tacit opposition on the part of
the Mohammedan officials. The present
partial reforms cannot bring about any
real change In the stsie of affairs, and no
Improvement need be expected until
European supervision Is extended to all
branches of the administration.
COTTON WEAVERS GAIN POINT
Wages of Operatives to Be Advanced
at Hate of Five Per
Cent.
MANCHESTER, April 15.-(Speclal Cable
gram to The Bee.) At a conference be
tween representatives of the cotton weav
ers engaged In the Lancashire cotton trade
and employers, the latter agreed to an
advance In wages at the rate of 5 per cent,
to take rlaee after July 8. The leaders of
the operatives, who represented fully 300,

PRIVY COUNCILLOR ARRESTED
Principality of Detmold Agitated
Over Charge Against Promi
nent Citlsen nnd Wife.
BERLIN. April 15. fSpeclal Cablegram
to The Bee.) The arrest of Privy
Councillor von Kratcht and his wife on the
charge of slander In the principality of
Detmold has developed one of the most re
markable cases of Its kind In Germany.
About 1(97 the defendant's father received
a large number. o( anonymous letters con
taining scandalous statements about his
son and his love affairs with certain young
women well known In the district. The de
fendant himself and nearly all the other
prominent .people of Detmold received sim
ilar scandalous letiers'
,ThS whole ipiinclp,'.W'1 was In a state of
the, greatest excli imnju. ani nobody would
trust even his most Intimate friends for
fear of being exposed in these anonymous
missives.
Finally von Kiacht himself was accused
of having written them. A court, how
ever, decided In his favor. In 1900 the de
fendant was married and the anonymous
letters ceased. Von Kracht's father died
In 1903, leaving his son a great fortune.
The works of the anonymous slanderer
were almost forgotten, when suddenly. In
191, letters were again showered on all
the leading families of the principality.
As the result of the researches of detec
tives an order to examine von Kracht's
house was obtained, and Imprints were
found on his blotting paper which corre
sponded exactly with some of the anony
mous missives.
He was accordingly arrested, but the
public astonishment was even greater
when, while von Kracht was In prison, the
letters still continued. He was thereupon
released on 130,0(0 bail and the Berlin po
lice were intrusted with the case.
After weeks of research they arrested
Frau von Kracht as the principal offender,
and she and her nusbnnd now stand ac
cused of having written nearly 200 letters
of the most scandalous nature.

sights in the course of their Journey. When
their train wa posslig Nairoll, the head
quarters of the railway, a dense swarn
of locusts, closely followed by an enor
mous flock of hawks, circled gracefully
round In pursuit of helr prey, was seen
high up In the heavens.
An even stranger sight, and one which
told only too plainly of the havoc being
wrought In their aerial ranks, was pre
sented by the discarded wings of the lo
custs, which fluttered to the ground like
falling leaves.
Not long ago, while proceeding from
Lake Victoria to Mombasa, a train ran
into a perfect bank of these destructive
pesta, which continued, with more or less
density for a distance of nearly forty
miles. In some places they were between
four and five Inches In depth; but, curiously
enough, the entire Invasion was confined
to a strip of not more than fifty yards
on either side of the four-foot way. As
soon as the engine struck the swarm the
train was brought to a standstill, and for
the next two hours a breakdown gang had
to bs employed In shoveling the locusts
from the metal and covering them with
sand, the stench being described as al
most overpowering.

commands for the start. In addition to the
president's personal party, which Is com
posed of himself. Dr. Alexandor Lambert
and P. B. Stewart of Colorado Springs,
ten men rode to the hunting camp today.
Five more were already at the camp with
everything ready for the comfort of the
party. Before starting the president an
nounced confidentially that ho was not
going into any hand to hand encounters
with grizzlies nor strangle any mountain
Hons with bare hands. He docs not ex
pect to bag a record breaking amount of
game and will feel satisfied if he gets one
bear during the whole hunt and particu
larly fortunate if he gets two. His rapid
firing rifle was exhibited with great pride
as a protection he will constantly keep
between himself a id danger.
Parade 1 Abandoned.
The parade planned to take place here
today did not materialize. It had been
arranged to form a procession led by the
Miners' Brass baud, a caged bear and
the president's party on horseback. This
pageant was to pass through the village
streets and Into the hills, where the bear
was to be turned loose and given a start
of thirty minutes. The State Humane so
ciety broke up the plans on. the ground
that the bear might return to the village
and carry off some children.
At 11:15 the party started at an easy
canter over the hills to the permanent
camp of the patty, which is located at Eaat
Divide creek, on Charles Penny' ranch,
twenty-three miles southwest of New Castle.
There la about a foot of snow In that sec
tion and bear tracks were seen there as
late as yesterday. When the party had
gone out of sight the president's train
was returned to Glenwood Springs, where
Secretary Loeb Is to have his headquar
ters. The departure for camp was delayed in
order that the president might receive of
ficial mall coming on the regular train
from the east.
The utmost precaution was taken to In
sure the president's safety on his trip
over the Colorado Midland last night.
After the pilot passed every facing switch
was looked after and every switch was
spiked. At every bridge and trestle there
was a man on guard, and often General
Manager George W. Vallery had as many
as a dozen men In a single mile. Where the
road ran along the edge of precipices, rock
slides are frequent.
President Roosevelt was up at S o'clock
and during the morning he greatly en
Joyed the mountain scenery, which he
viewed from the rear platform of his car.
The sun shone at intervals today and the
conditions are becoming favorable for
sport.

ST. LOUIS IS J16HTLY CLOSED
Saloon, Fruit Stand and Cigar
Stand Shut Their Door at
Mlrinlgrht.
ST. LOUIS, April 16.-Promptly at mid
night the lights in all saloons in the down
town district were extinguished and for
the first time in many years St. Louis is
tightly "closed."
There was no disposition on the part of
the saloon keepers to resist the enforce
ment of the Sunday closing law. The edict
Issued by Excise Commissioner Melvihill
that all saloons and cafes must close
promptly at midnight Saturday and remain
closed until Monday morning, under pen
alty of forfeiting their licenses, caused
much comment for the last week, but its
provisions were rigidly adhered to by pro
prietors of saloons, aa far as the closing
order is concerned.
In many cases persons were not per
mitted to finish drinking beverages that
had been purchased previous to tho hour
of midnight, but the lights were extln
gtished and the patrons requested to elo
pcii t at once.
Kruit stands, news stands and other all
night vendors were as prompt as the
saloon nun In observing the Sunday closing
order, It having been announced that tho
"old blue laws" were to be strictly en
forced. The stroke of midnight was the
signal for shutters to be placed hastily
about the exposed stands and all goods
thnt could be construed to be "exhibited
for Bale" were covered.

orders. War risks at Hong Kong for
Japan have been raised unu trade is af

TOKIO, April 15. (7 p. m.)-The following
ofllciul announcement was made today from
the headquarters of the Japanese armies
In Manchuria:
Our force advancing east along the Ilal

April 14 near Ilelshlhinu, ten miles east of
Punshl, and vigorously chased them to
ward Tacliotau, twenty-six inoes east ut

Another force advancing north from Slrg

five miles outh of Pacliatsu,
There has been no change elsewhere in
the military situation.
No New freim Russians.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 15.-NO further
news beyond that contained In the foreign
telegrams has been received regarding thv
bquadron commupded by Vice Admiral Ro
Jestvensky, but the impression continues
that he la steaming toward the Island Ot
Formosn, with the intention of giving bat
tle If Admiral Togo accepts the challenge.
Some of the papers, notably tho Novo
Vremya, still manifest Irritation at the
activity of British warships In reporting
the movements of the Russian squadron.
The Novoe Vremya says that the vessels
of all nations are observing neutrality
"with the exception, of course, of Great
Britain."
The paper takes particular exception to
the fact that the British cruiser Iphlgenlu
transmitted by wireless telegraphy the In
formation that It had passed Admiral Ro
Jestvensky's squadron 140 miles from
Saigon, which was very Important new
to the Japanese, Inasmuch as Rojestvansky
had succeeded In slipping by the Japanese
scouts.
"For a commercial ship to report such
a fact upon arrival at a port la quit
natural," says the Novoe Vremya, "but II
Is not so Important then, as the news IB
more or less old, and in the meantime the
squadron might have changed Its course,
L . . . . n n. .. n-rt W a , on ,4 1 1 f- V, .

formation to a coast station by wireless
telegraphy is unfriendly.
"However, this Is not the first time the
British have conveyed a valuable warning
to their friends. During the Chtno-Japa-nese
war, when Great Britain was on th
side of China, a British cruiser at Wei Hal
Wei warned the Chinese admiral by firing
a salute upon the approach of the Japanese
lleet, although at night, when it Is not
the custom to salute In that fashion."
Cavalry Defeat Japaneae.
Geneial Llnevitch In a dlBpatch to Em
peror .Nicholas dated yesterday says:
Our cavalry April 10 found the Japanese
In occupation or u hill soutnward of Mount
liln u lull, III me valley 01 tile iiUII rivvl'.
Ihe cavalry turned this position and forced
the Japanese to evueuale It and retire
westward.
ilie Hubs today remarks, referring to
tho dispatch from Washington published
here yesterday on the subject of the
Japanese assurances In regard to tho open
ing of hostilities:
if the telegram is true, Japan deceived
the Lintou elates. Why has tue United
biates waned lourteen nionitis to let the
world know this, when it did not hesltat
to charge Russia with breaking its prom
ises' Report Seeing: Russian Ship.
LONDON, April 10. A telegram from
Singapore, Straits Settlements, was received
hero today announcing that thu Peninsula,
& Oriental bteumsliip company's steamer
Marmora sighted five Russian battleships
April 3 in lutllude 8 direug fcuuth and
longitude ill! degrees cast, steering for thu
Htiults of Suiula. The disputed has no
present significance. The fact that th
Marmora, which wa bound to London
from Sydney, N. S. W sighted the Russian
squadron was reported early In the muntlt
from Colombo, Ceylon. Tho news appar
ently has now reached Singapore through
outgoing steamers. The chief Interest In
the dispatch lies in its giving the exact
location of the squadron, indicating that It
steered almost due eust from Madagascar,
it is presumed hero, with the object of
creating tho Impression that Rojestvensky
intended to traverse the Straits of Sunda
and draw away the Japanese from tho
Malacca straits, through which ha ulti
mately passed in safety.

PARIS, April 15. Gaston Dnu telegraphs
from St. Petersburg to the Echo de Paris
that Admiral Rojeatvensky's last tele
gram before leaving Nossl Be was sin
gularly laconlo and eloquent. Ha wired:
I will not telegraph again before tho
battle. If I am beaten, you will learn it
through Togo. If 1 defeat him, I will
announce it to you.
M. Dru adds that the telegram was ac
cepted as meaning that the Russian seeks
victory or deuth.
A dispatch to the Temps from Saigon
says Admiral Rojestvensky lid not sight
any Jupanese scouts during his entrance
Into tho China sea by way of the straits
