ROME. Feb. I (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Some of the really significant move ments In world politics may be expected to emanate from the, Vatican during the next twelve months. First, there is the vexed question of the relations of the church and state in Italy. This Is liable to be forced to the front by the visit of the king of Spain in connection with his approaching mar riage. The king of Spain Is very anxious to visit his royal relative, the king of Italy Being an earnest Roman Catholic he does not desire to do anything which will in any fashion wound the feelings of the head of the church. Hence efforts are being made to find out Just how far the king of Spain may go in this matter of establishing more friendly relations with the king of Italy. Ever since the downfall of the states of the church and the temporal power of the pope, while Protestant rulers have been free, to come and go at will Roman Catholic monarchs, as a general thing, have been obliged to be rather diplomatic, and some kings have even preferred to avoid Italy as they would avoid a pestilence Infested coun try, fearing that their very presence might tend to stir up strife. Hence it has hap pened that some of the real questions of clerical and political etlquet have never been taken up for solution, and it remain. i to' be seen whether they are capable of being solved. Then there are questions of vast Import ance growing out of the extension of the work of the church In America and other parts of the world. One reason for this ex tension has been the vast Increase in Italian emigration to the new world. The Vatican, while In no way responsible for this shift ing of population from the old world to the new, in the capacity of supreme pastor of souls is bound to take cognizance of such a world-wide movement. It is said that one of the results will be the creation In the near future of several new American car dinals. Admirers of Archbishop Ireland here in Rome are confident that he will be among those honored.. French Question Perplexing. Perhaps the most burning question of the . hour In ntoricaJ .olrulaa la tha adjustment of relations with France on somo kind of a basis. In fact the subject uppermost In the minds of the clericals at the present time Is what may be termed the fn-st volume of Im portance Issued during the first decade of this twentieth century the white book. It is an exposition, supported and Justified by documents. Issued by the holy see on the subject of the Reparation of the state from the church In France. According to the Oh servatore Romano the purpose of the publi cation Is to demonstrate to the w-holo civil ized world how false was the thesis main tained by the French partisans of separa tion that separation was after all the detre of the holy see or that it was rendered In evitable by its attitude. The object is to make it perfectly plain that the responsi bility for this separation-should full upon the politicians of France, who wanted it at any cost and at all hazards. What the separation really means Is ninde most plain In the comments of the ctvilts Cathollca on the subject of the white book of the Vatican. Clvljta Catholloa says that the separation Implies thnt the France which governs that Is to sny the republic which Is Impersonated In very restricted number of It dignitaries separates Itself from the Roman Catholic church, renounces Its dogmas and proscribes Its symbols, de taches its ministers from the great tree of the state, confines Its worship within the private limits of the churches, and with legul rapine It arrogates to Itself the prop erty of the churches, and at a not far ois tunt time it destines the use of them to the oalabrutton of Masonic gatherings. In tha first place the first three chapters of the white book point out and denounce the policy of -he French government. The tw sucecedliiK chapters upset the pretext put itorward by the Fiench government pot Worwai tii.tlth h I'ltl . is ocr holy ww itself furnished a rro eraslon or h plt.usihl pretext to th" ftnnbllc for Its hostile attitude toward the tviitff The white book contends tht the gientest .onsideratlon wss shown the Faeinh republic by the holy see The same htk r)lntatns that the holy see scrupu lously maintained the obligations of the cortorrtp.t. The charges that the holy see vlotti the concordat undoubtedly arose fro t. willful confusion between that fact and.'be organic articles attached to It by lapoleon I as an afterthought and in wl.lq tne holy see hd no part and always expltnly rejected. ; Combe. Mostly to Blame. Thejiast four chapters furnish a picture of iMefforts of the French government to ! seek I p:-elett In order to bring aliout a mr1"! In the relations with the holy see.

LONDON. Feb. 3. (Special Cablegram to The Itee.j-London politicians have evi dently Mken a leaf from the methods of Tammany ball, in one respect, at least. When the M.teg are once In the boxes they stay there and there appears to be no way of opening the boxes and getting out the votes, even though It is admitted on all hands that the voters had no right lo vote. The most noted case in point was perhaps that of the only woman in all Iondon who voted so far as known for the Parlia mentary candidates during the recent gen eral elections. And like the famous "only woman Mason," she appears to have "but ted Into the game" without being "butted out" again and without appearing to know exactly what she was doing. In the first place her name was mis leading. She is Miss Alwyn Bussey, and the local politicians appear to have thought "Alwyn" was the name of a man. She Is of German ,1-scent, her father being a naturalized Kngltshman. She Is a teacher of singing and the place where she voted at the polls was Kast Maryletmne. Telling the story herself she said: "How did It happen? It Is hard to say. For eight years I have lived here In my house (The Studio, Welheck house. No. W Wells street). One day a man came to me and said: 'You have a vote.' It appeared that my name was on the register. Was It for me to quarrel with the authorities? mentary election that I have teen through and naturally I didn't know much about It. "Lord Robert Cecil sent a canvasser. He asked In a loud voice: T. T - T7..... .. Ir.",' 1 i. ; Z , ll is no Mr. Itussej. I I answered: 'There am Alwyn Bussey. If that is any Infor mation for you.' With that I closed the door and left the man standing speechless. I didn't want to talk with him all day and he really wasn't very civil. "Then his opponent. Mr. Lnngdun. sent a canvasser. He was a n!ce man a nal politician. 1 think. He said: 'Alwyn Bus sey, I presume?' I said. 'Yes.' He smiled and added, 'Well, yon have got a vote and we will send a carriage for you. With that he smiled and went away. "On the dny of the lection the carriage came, and I couldn't resist getting Into it and going for the ride. It was such a frolic. I was driven to the I.itile Titehfield polling station. There was a policeman at the door, and when he (taw me get out of the carriage l.e waved his hand Just as they do when thiy try to stop traffic. "1 said: 'What ia the matter, my good man? I am going in to vote. He looked at me as though he were paralyzed with sur prise, and then porhitps concluding that there miKht be one woman in the country entitled to vote, he fell back and s.ilil noth ing more, allowing me to p ss. sort of re spoctfullike. So I walked hi. "The presiding officer declined to issue a polling paper. I said. 'My name is on that register and I am going to vote.' He seemed impressed, then suid. 'Walt a little,' and then there was a consultation. "Then a young man with a red face came UP to me and said. 'Y'ou can vote,! and issued a polling ticket, and I voted. But before ho would give me the ticket he tried to coax me' and terijporize.' "Won't "yon please come around this ufteriioon?' he In quired anxiously. And I of course replied: "No, .1 shall bo very busy this afternoon. I am here to vote now and I am going lo vote now." And I did. . "I don't know how my name came on the register. No doubt they mistook nie for a man, but in that case they made a big mistake. I thought It was funny at the time imd I still consider It amusing, but I hope that I won't get my 1-nr-dldiitc into any trouble, even though I should get Into trouble myself."

Thereupon the Japanese cltixens com menced an investigation. They came to the conclusion that Japan is overcrowded in sections.

The maximum rate case, he said, settled affirmatively the constitution ality of granting the power to fix rates. He regretted the president's change of at titude on the question. "I believe !n his honesty and sincerity. but wish he had adhered to hfc original '"""" to give power to establish a rea sonable rate and left the question of the maximum rate out of consideration," he said.

It was a judicial function, he said, lo say where a given rate was or was not u lsunable and a legislative function to prescribe a rate for the future. He favored creating a special court to determliie tlie judicial function and clothing the commission with authority to legislate the future rate.

S.-The conference on Mui ocean rfiorms hus now b en freed of most of the minor questions before it. and in.is itself fast upproaching the main la sue, wliieh ni,Kts on who shall control tue iollce of Morocco. The delegates to the conference hava shown lncr.asing anxiety at the approach of this issue, knowing the Intense reeling 11 has aroused between France and Oer muny. KtToits are being made to secure an accord belore tile question reaches t;ie open conference Hnd tliereLy avui en open controversy and a possible deadlock. On the one hand France wants control of the semi-military police and on the other hand (Jennaii objects lo French control on the ground that it would make Fiance the virtual master of Morocco's political future. These positions are so radically opposed as lo appear to be almosi irreconcilable, yet the neutral delegates are alr.nuously continuing their pacllle olliies toward finding a common ground acceptable to both countries. Some Compromise Projects. Some of the comprise projects are ou the following genera f lines: The Hrst is to leave the police to tha sultan of Morocco, thus avoiding tier many s objection to French control and that of r ranee to Intel national contiul. Tnis compromise is distaste! ui to t rants bill tne neutral delegates are seeking to reconcile rrencii opposition to it bv point ing out thut the allium would nave to reiy ujion France lo oihcer, instruct and discipline Hie police. Anotner Compromise vaguelv put forward is to gl 8p;.iu of somo otner of the powers a share witu Fiance In Hie organization of the IKillce. Tiiis again meets witn the opposi tion 10 having France participate in any control 01 the police, bull anotner com pro.i.ise. apparently having tno approval of Cierinany, is to institute an international police for a limited and experimental period, and If the experiment laiis, France will then be in a putiiiion to assume tne oitaniguuon 01 tne ixnice. France, how ever, snows no nii-posliion to accept the plan for an lnternut.on.il police system, even for an experimental period. It is expected that the discussion of the question of a state bank may aid in a solution of the troubles, for Germany la willing to give France a Mrung hand -ovw Morocco's nuances. Franca may yield con trol of the police for the present, leaving the future to decide which power must provide the force to control Morocco. The Moroccan conference held a two hours' session today, resulting In the defi nite rejection of the plan proposed by tha Moors for fhe reform of the Moroccuu tariff and the determination to frame a customs system more in accord with tha views of the foreign powers. The conference further decided to pre pare a project to overcome Morocco's ant:, ijunud methods resttictlnfv exports. Germany More Hopeful. BERLIN".
