Baron Hayashl Defines Situation.
LONDON, April 22.-Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister to Great Britain, said
to the Associated Press today:
I do not consider that the Japanese note
to the French government could be termed
a protest. It simply calls the attention
of France to Vice Admiral Itojestvensky's
long stay In Kamranli bay. Unfortunately
discussion of the affair occupied consider
able time before the French government
secured the riddance of unwelcome guests
and serious Injury will have been done.
Japan knows that the French government
was not an active party to the harboring
Of the Russian Pacific squadron, but the
Inactivity of France had reached a serious
stage and we would have been perfectly
Justified In attacking the Russian squadron
in Kamranh bay. The three-mile rule
under which France defends Its Inactivity
was the dlstnnce recognized as shore
waters when three miles was the maximum
range of guns. The range of big guns to
day Is twenty miles. Should Admiral Togo
attack the Russians In Kamranh bay many
projectiles would fall on the French shore.
This Is one of the points which was under
discussion in Paris.
Great Britain Prepares Ships.
LONDON. April 22.-A special dispatch
from Hong Kong says all shore leave of
crews of British warships has been stopped
and the dockyard employes on their Easter
leave of absence havo been recalled, so
that the ships can be made ready for sea
at the earliest possible moment.
attitude will now be extended to Morocco.
The conclusion of this Russian statesman
Is that the Influence which this would give
the kaiser In the Mohammedan world
would be Invaluable to him In the event
of war with England.
The news of the first untoward conse
quence of Emperor William's visit to Tan
gier was received In Berlin from French
sources It came to light through the
correspondent of the Echo de Paris, who
sent his paper the following dispatch:
M. St. Rene Tolllandler has been waiting
since March 11 for an answer to the com
munication of his program and the council
of notables at Fez has pressed the sultan
to go to Tangier. It appears that at the
present moment our ambassador Is made
to take a back seat and that the answer
so eagerly awaited will not be forthcoming
for a long time.
Whether the German emperor, with the
assistance of Bismarck II, will be able
to thwart or to destroy the entente be
tween England and France will depend
upon those two powers themselves. The
Paris Matin, for Instance, observes that
"If the object which the German press or
the German government has In view be
to link the Interests and policy of France
still more closely with those of England
that press, or that government must feel
quite satisfied."

the same condition of affairs obtains. The
rapidity with which England Is develop

that England has no notion of relaxing Its

maining to be settled regarding the Eng

Ho It Is iri Morocco and the north of
Africa. The boundary linos between
spheres of Influence in Africa, English,

after the Interests of the oultan, wculd at

tions of Africa. Hence the Initiated are
watching the German emperor and Count
von Buelow In this Mr.rocco matter with
Intense Interest. . Much remains to be de

one point perfectly plain and clear to
the Reichstag and the world. In fact, ha

Insists that Germany open negotiations

distinctly Implies that It will not negotiate

Anglo-French entente, had asked France

declaration as to Its Intentions than that
given In a general way by. M. Delcasse. It
would, in all probability, not have been
refused. But Instead of that Germany,
far from raising any objections, seised
sundry opportunities of giving It to be
understood that-the Anglo-French entente

That the condition of affairs outlined Is
not an idle dream Is evidenced by the
fact that even in the German newspapers
veiled references to the new German
policy .slid the new field for German
activities are . constantly seen. One of

PARIS, April 22.-(Speclal Cablegram to
The Bee.) An athlete named Rey, con
nected with the Bostock Animal show, had
a narrow escape from death one day this
week. He was engaged In putting the
wrestling lion, Brutus, through his dally
practice, when the brute unexpectedly
fastened its teeth In his Jacket. The trainer
stopped wrestling, and tried to disengage
himself by withdrawing from the Jacket
and leaving It in the lion's possession.
But he was unable to do this, and Brutus,
without becoming actually savage, warmed
to the encounter, and began to tear the
trainer about the shoulders and sides. Al
though bleeding freely from fifty wounds,
Rey. who Is a powerful, athletic young
fellow, kept his head, and realizing that
he was at the mercy of the brute if he
fell, kept him off as best he could.
By this time Mr. Rostock and his as
sistants had gathered round the cage try
ing to rescue the trainer, and watched with
apprehension the realistic combat between
the men and the lion. The wrestling bout,
which had commenced In the usual play
ful manner, has now developed into a grim
contest, in which one of the combatants
was fighting for his life, and for fully two
minutes his fate seemed sealed.
Rey kept up the unequal contest, but a
further difficulty In the way of his rescue
was the fact that in a cage communicating
with that of Brutus a companion lion was
making desperate efforts to force an entry
through a half open door.
At last Brutus was lassoed by Mr.
Bostock and dragged Into the adjoining
cage. After Rey had been bandaged In the
Hippodrome Infirmary, he was taken to the
Rotschlld hospital, where the doctors said
that, thanks to his athletic constitution, If
blood poisoning did not set In, they hoped
to save htm.
DELCASSE DECIDES TO STAY
French' Cabinet Deoidei to Unanimously
Support Policy of Foreign Minister.
HE AGREES TO REMAIN ON THIS CONDITION
Reaalt Mill Be a Firmer Attitude
Toward Germany on the Moroccan
Question Canaea ftatlsfacllon
In Great Britain.
PARIS, April 22. Yielding to the personal
solicitations and representations of Presi
dent Loubet and the leaders of the govern
ment that his retirement would be a seri
ous national peril at this time, M. Delcasse
today advised Premier Rouvler that he
would reconsider and withdrew his resig
nation as foreign minister. This was after
strong assurances had been given M.
Delcasse that the ministry was united In
sympathy with and surport of his foreign
policy.
During the conference today between the
president and M. Rouvler and Delcasse,
the latter Bald he would retain the portfolio
of foreign affairs only In case the entire
Cabinet approved of his foreign policy
which he would carry out according to
his views. The authority necessary to carry
on negotiations with the powers was In
effective, If such negotiations led to re
serves or divergences among the members
of the Cabinet. The purpose of the In
tended Cabinet meeting was to remove
every scruple In the mind of the foreign
minister concerning the loyalty and sup
port given him. The conference accom
plished the same object, showing that
there was no divergence of views, and In
consequence M. Delcasse gave as his final
answer that he would remain. As a re
sult of his decision the special Cabinet
counsel which was called to meet this aft
ernoon was abandoned.
Firmer Attitude Toward Germany.
M. Delcnsse's staying In the cabinet Is
expected to result In a firmer attitude to
ward Germany than heretofore shown.
The foreign minister's policy has been to
give Germany adequate assurances that
her Interests In Morocco would be treated
the same as those of the rest of the world,
but after making these approaches he did
not desire to yield France's entire project
concerning Morocco at the dictation of
Germany. It Is said that some members
of the cabinet shared the view that a
grave Issue with Germany might result
from too firm an insistence on the French
Moroccoan pbllcy and M. Loubet Is also
credited with the desire not to have the
Moroccoan Issue drift Into dangerous com
plications. Only the socialists and rad
icals openly expressed this view In the
chamber of deputies, but the more In
fluential sentiment was that Immediately
surrounding M. Delcasse. He felt there
fore that It was useless to proceed without
the strong support of his colleagues rep
resenting the government and If a tem
porizing policy with Germany was de
sired some one else should .assume the
responsibility. Consequently his offer to
resign was interpreted as a triumph for
Germany, whereas his determination to
remain is Interpreted aa a check to Ger
man designs. The feeling over Germany
has naturally become much more acute as
a result of the Incident. Many deputies
who have been Interviewed on the subject
say M. Delcnsse's' resigning at this time
would be equivalent to France making an
open and humiliating concession to Ger
many. The cabinet's course In giving united sup
port to M. Delcasse Insures him a strong
moral backing in continuing tho Moroc
can policy. ' He has already opened com
munications with the German ambassador.

many ample explanation. Germany has
not yet shown an inclination to respond
to these overtures. While continuing this
conciliatory attitude, M. Delcasse is now
In a position to resist Germany's apparent
purpose to secure the complete abandon
ment of the French Moroccan policy.
Minister Popular with Americana.
The strung friendship of M. Delcasse for
tho United States is everywhere recog
nized among the American officials here.
His relations with Ambassador Porter
have been peculiarly close. Only recently
M. Delcasse remarked that he wished Gen
eral Porter would remain here until he
also retired. Last week General Porter
gave a large oil portrait of himself to
M. Delcasse as a mark of his personal
esteem.
The semiofficial Temps 'saya tonight:
Our situation after M. Delcasse's resigna
tion has been withdrawn will be clearer
than before the Incident occurred. It af
firms that in the presence of eventualities
which are serious, but not desperate, the
government Is united.
It will also testify that a campaign of a
foreign country, no matter hnw hiv i
may be conducted, is without effect on our
Internal nffalrs. These are two essential
points which the incidents make perfectly
clear.
British Are Pleased.
LONDON, April 22. The decision of M.
Delcasse to retain control of the foreign
affairs of France was received with
marked pleasure in political circles In Lon
don, where his constant efforts to prevent
the spread of the far eastern conflict and
smooth away Anglo-Russiitn causes of
friction are ungrudgingly acknowledged.

MADRID, April 22. (Special Cablegram

Andalusia and thousands of people are re

The vineyards around Alicante and the
adjacent districts have been almost to

Thousands of head of cattle are dying

entire population of a village, consisting

justice thst Is about to be done," and point
out that the county and district council
lors representing the estate are nearly all
excluded from the proposed body of trus
tees. The familiar symptoms of agrarian dis
order are again making a painful Impres
sion throughout Ireland and the Inactivity
of tho executive Is the subject of a great
deal of comment. The revlvsl of the crime
of mutilating cattle Is specially deplored.
The serious agitation of three years ago
waa altogether free from this particular
form of outrage. In one case In the Athenry
district tho walls of a farm were torn
down. In others cattle were driven over
the country, and In at least two cases cat
tle were houghed and had their talla cut
off. In every Instance the owner of the
property had been ordered to surrender his
farm by the fnlted Irish league, and had
been warned that the consequences of re
fusal would be serious. The branches of
the league In the disturbed districts of
Connaught continue to pass violent resolu
tions and speeches full of Intimidation and
threats are fully reported In the local news
papers. A meeting was held In County
Roscommons "for the specific purpose of
putting pressure on a man who Is stand
ing In the way of land being divided
amongst five or six tenants who require It."

O'CONNOR ON THE UNIVERSITY
Says Scholars Are Treated with
t'tniost Courtesy at Trinity
Colleaje. Dublin.
DUBLIN, April 22. (Special Cablegram

University question, which was held under
the auspices of the Roman Catholic Grad
uates' and Undergraduates' ' association,
Mr. Charles O'Connor, K. C. said that
he whs not hoplesa of a satisfactory

He had been a student at Trinity col

tell the same story . that every Roman
Catholic who had been there could tell
namely, that ho was treated with the ut
most courtesy and that he got his deserts,

BOYCOTT IS ON IN IRELAND
I'nited Irish League Said to Be I'siav
Coercive Measures Toward
Landlords.
DUBLIN, April 22 (Special Cablearam
to The Bee.)-The United Irish league is
prosecuting a vigorous campaign against
those persons who are supplying horses
and carts to boycotted graziers. At a re
cent meeting of the Athenry branch of the
league it was decided to hang up for pub
lic inspection a Hut of the names of shop,
keepers and others who had not Joined
the league, and of persons who held gras-
lng lands in the locality, so that they
could be well known and singled out for
particular notice. In Craughwell and tho
neighborhood, where outrages are frequent,
the local branches of the league have Is
sued a mandamus to all holders of grazing
lands to give up the lands by May 1, or
else be prepared for the consequences. As
a result of these summons and threatening
notices, several graziers have promised to
surrender In the Loughrea district, how
ever, nationalist public opinion seems to
be growing Impatient of the tyranny of the
league. So much indignation was caused
by the action of the local branch in fining
an inoffensive farmer that the commutes
Of the branch lave thought it necessary to
resign office. A number ot extra police
have arrived at Athenry, and the Loughrea
constaDuiary nave peen reinforced by a
sergeant and six constables.
In sn article on the sale of the King
Harmon estate to the estate commissioners,
the Irish Times says that inquiries made
on the spot tend to show that, after ai
lowing for obvious exaggerations, there Is
some foundation for the charge that the
commissioners are acting In concert with
the United Irish league. The Times cites
the action of the commissioners with ref
erence to the distribution of Turbury. It
appears that the bog lands on the estate
are about to be handed over to trustees for
the tenant, and that these trustees are
found to consists almost, if not entirely,
of members of the local branch of the
United Irish league. The secretary of the
trustees is a prominent official of this
branch and Is not a tenant on the estate.
A number of the tenants are preparing a
GOV. MICKEY RAISES A STORM
His Reference to Civil War In Speech
at Galveston Provokes Reply
from Arkansas Executive.
GALVESTON, Tex. April 22,-The feat
ure of the Northern Settlers' convention
today was the address of Governor Jef
ferson Davis of Arkansas, which was at
times sensational.
In his address at the morning session
Governor Mickey of Nebraska observed
that his last trip to the south was dur
ing the civil war and he adverted to the
fact that in his own state he has many
friends who are veterans of both sides.
Governor David took this reference of
Governor Mickey to the civil war as his
cue during his address in the afternoon.
He said, In substance, that he considered It
a breach of good taste for ths governor
of Nebraska to come ehre and discuss sec
tional issued long ttnee dead; that he
thought this subject should be approached
In gum shoes and that In every patriotic
southern heart there was a shrine dedicated
to the lost cause. '
During this period of Governor Davis'
address the silence was tense and It was
only relieved when he passed to other mat
ters. .
At the conclusion of his address Gov
ernor Davis was greeted with prolonged
applause anl aa he went down the aisle
an impromptu reception was accorded
him. He passed through the crowd to
the cruiser Galveston, which vessel fired
a salute of seventeen guns In his honor.
Addresses were made among others by
Robert Lindsay of Nacogdoches, on "To
bacco In East Texas;" Governor Cummins
of Iowa, on "Texas;" Governor Mi&key
of Nebraska, on "The Great West," and
J. H. Hunter or Springfield, III.
Resolutions were adopted strongly recom

Permanent organisation was effected,

ANTI-MORMON RESOLUTION ADOPTED
It Asks an Amendment to Federal
Constitution Making- Polygamy
a Crime Aanln.it t'nlted
tates.
WASHINGTON. April 22-At today's
session of the congress of the Daughters
of the American Revolution Verno M.
Davis, one of the Justices of the supreme
court of New York, who presided In the
criminal branch during the first and second
trials of Nan Patterson, was one of the
Interested spectators of the proceedings.
Mrs. Donald Mclean, the president general-elect,
on motion of Mrs.' Murphy of
Ohio, was elected chairman of the Con
tinental Memorial hall committee, the
action being In accordance with precedent.
In response to an Inquiry of Mrs. Mary
Woodswlft of Cnlifornla the president gen
eral explained that the chairman of the
Continental Memorial hall committee was
not necessarily the president general, but
had to be elected. She then devoted a
brief time to outlining the work done by
the present committee, of which she Is
chairman. At the conclusion of her state
ment the thanks of the congress were ex
tended to Mrs. Fairbanks.
When the congress reconvened at 3:30
p. m. a discussion which had occupied con
siderable time was continued. It related
to a construction of the constitution as to
the admission of members of children of
the American Revolution to the Daughters
of the American Revolution. A motion
was passed enabling members of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
of eligible age to become members with
out the payment of Initiation fees.
A resolution was adopted providing for
the appointment of a committee to wait
on the fifty-eighth congress to obtain per
mission for the Interment in the national
cemetery at Arlington of the remains of
Pierre Charles L'Enfant.
A resolution was adopted providing tliat
the president general appoint a special
committee to promote the Introduction into
the public schools of the United States of
the system of a "school city."
Anti-Mormon Resolution Adopted.
Mrs. Goode of Alabama brought to the
attention of the congress the Mormon
question In a senational statement. She
declared that the Mormon church was
violating, through its leaders, the laws of
the land; that It was a treasonable insll
tutlon owing its highest allegiance to Its
own organization and that it was a stain
on the good name of the United States.
She offered this resolution:
That as daughters of the patriots we
most earnestly call on the national con
gress to pass such remedial legislation as
will put a stop to polygamy and polyga
mous living, and political control bv the
Mormon hierarchy and that this congress
also urge the United States senate to vote
to refuso Reed Smoot of Utah, an apostle
of this church, and ono of its highest of
ficers, the right to continue as a senator
of the United States. And that we further
urge an amendment to the federal con
stitution, making polygamy tinder what
ever guise or pretense, a crime Against
the United Stutes.
Mrs. Allen, state regent of Utah, asked
that the word "church" be eliminated from
the resolution and the word "hierarchy"
substituted. The change was made. The
resolution was adopted. A recess was
taken until t o'clock.
Money for Memorial Halt.
At the night session the congress voted
unanimously not to mortgage Memorial
Continental hall, but to go ahead with the
work of collecting funds for Its comple
tion. The treasurer general Mrs. M. E. S.
Davis of the District of Columbia, in a
statement regarding the funds In hand for

Senate Committee Takes Recess.
Ai today s meeting of the senute com
mittee on interstate commerce it was de
cided to send copies of the reports of the
railroad rate hearings to every member
of the congress. President Tuttle of the
Boston & Maine railroad stated today that
the Idea that great financiers controlled
railways to the disadvantage or advantage
of the public was erroneous. It was nat
ural that great financiers like Mr. Morgan
should be consulted regarding all financial
transactions.
Senator Newlands asked a number of
questions to develop the advantage of a
national corporation act. Mr. Tuttle replied
that when his road was organized It might
have been advantageous to .have had a
national charter for it. He further stated
that arbitration of labor trouble was im
practicable. The laboring men were op
posed to compulsory arbitration. With
railroad employes generally, he thought,
It was. possible for the officers of the roads
and tho railroad men to settle differences.
Replying to Senator Newlands, Mr Tut
tle said that If the government owned all
the railroads he (Tuttle) probably could
manage them all If given absolute control,
but In a political government It would be
Impossible to have that absolute control.
Adjourned until Monday.

Commissioner Werner of the pension
office today accepted the tenth and final
resignation of members of the board of

earned pensions to members of a Penn
sylvania home guard regiment. In this
case the reviewer passed only on a claim
for Increase after it originally had been
passed upon and on this account the com
missioner held the resignation up- for a
time. He decided, however, after careful
Inquiry to make a clean sweep.

PEACE SCHEME AGAIN FAILS
Chicago Employers Refuse to Arbitrate
Strike on Basil Demanded,
GRAND JURY SUMMONS WITNESSES
Attempt Made to Aseertaln Ileal
('mine of the Strike Question of
Hesponslbllltr for Disorder
Not Investigated.
CHICAGO, April 22. The Employers' As
sociation of Chicago refused this afternoon
to accept the proposition of the teamBters
that all Questions Involved In the Mont
gomery Ward & Co. strike be submitted
to arbitration, with Judge Tuley acting ns
arbiter.
The proposition of the teamsters was
conveyed to the employers through Mayor
Dutine and late this afternoon the em
ployers replied to the mayor that they
were as they have been from the first,
willing to arbitrate anything connected
with the strike of the teamsters alone,
but that they will under no circumstances
consent to arbitrate the strike of the gar
ment workers, which was over four months
before the teamsters went out in sym
pathy. Employers' Position Explained.
The mayor was Informed by the employ
ers that the strike "Was declared, not be
cause of any difference between the team
sters and Ward & Co., or between the
teamsters and any member of the em
ployers' association, but because of a dif
ference between Ward & Co. and a certain
branch of lubor which Is entirely foreign
to anything affecting the teamsters." Such
being the case the mayor was Informed
that the employers have done all In their
power when they offered to arbitrate with
the teamsters alone, and that they will do
nothing further In the line of arbitration.
This action by the Employers' asuocia
tlon discounted in advance the action
favored by some members of the grand
Jury, which commenced , an Investigation
of tho strike and Its causes. After a num
ber of witnesses had been examined sev
eral members of the Jury expressed them
selves as In favor of discontinuing the
Investigation and adopting a report rec
ommending that Judge Tuley be selected
to act as one of a board of arbitrators. A
majority of the Jurors, It is said, favor ar
bitration and It is reported that the in
vestigation will close Monday.
Grmid Jury Hoes Little.
The employes and team owners who v.ere
called to testify expressed themselves aa
disappointed with the scope of lnq'ilry
made by the Jury. They expected that
they would be calli'J to tell of such acta
of lawlessness as Ihey had witnessed dur
ing the strike, but Instead of this they
found that the Jury hud prepared a list
of questions, and n ost of thqse the wit
nesses were unable to answer. The mem
bers of the Jury manifested a desire to
ascertain the exact causes of the strike,
declaring that th-y would take up the
assaults and street dlt-turbances If the
preliminary evidence offered established
any urgent need of grand Jury investiga
tion along those lines.
Ten witnesses were summoned to testify
before the grand Jury.
Among those subpoenaed on the side of
the teamsters were: Cornelius P. Shea,
president of the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters; George W. Golden of the
stock yards' teamsters; Hugh McQee, pres
ident of the Truck Drivers' union; and
Jeremiah McCarthy, business agent of the
Trurk Drivers' union.
Witnesses for the dealers were: Fred
Gardner of the Daniels Coal company,
Fred A. Forbes of the Forbes Teaming
company, Robert J. Thome, Montgomery
Ward & Co.; F. W. Job, secretary of the
Employers' assiciation; A. Sprogue War
ner & Co. and V L. Wedles of Steele,
Wedles & Co.
Ilomb Found eir Ward Uolldlna.
What is believed to have been an at
tempt to blow up one of Montgomery Ward
& Co.'s warehouses waa thwarted by a
heavy rainfall. Today a small bomb or
dynamite cartridge was discovered In a
pool of water In the rear of the ware
house. The bomb Is three inches long,
more than an Inch In diameter and weighs
nearly half a pound. It has copper caps
on each end. Protruding from one end of
the cartridge was found a small fuse,
which connected directly with the body of
the bomb.
