It Is possible that Emperor Francia . Joseph haa taken a leaf from the book of the caar and haa decided to make himself absolute monarch of the situation and then allow, as the rsar ap parently haa done, his subjects to tire an.l wear themselves out. Only in this case where the rsar atarted out aa an absolute monarch and gave the people at least the shadow of parliament, the emperor of Austria-Hungary poaaessed. so far aa his Austria subjects were concerned, at least the shadow of a parliament and decided to do away with it. From a popular point of rlew at leaat this makes quite a difference, th one monarch creating at least a kind of a parliament, 'the other abolishing at least a kind of a parliament.

In point of parlia mentary service Mr. Kelr Hardle should have the first claim, but he Is strongly opposed by members of his own party. Other men who may light their vay to the front and become leaders are Messrs. Hen derson. Crooks, Harries and Shat-kleton.

For It takes years to learn the ropes In Parliament, and the labor advocates being poor men and en tirely dependent upon their unions for their salaries must of necessity come pretty nearly taking orders front the or ganisations which furnish them their means of living. Hence they become mere repre sentatives of the organisation und are not foot loose nnd fancy free to fight whoi-i they will, where they will' and when they will. Among the newly elected labor members of Parliament who are quite likely to make a record may be mentioned Mr. Charles Duncan, the representative of fiurrow-ln-Furness.

VESUVIUS DRAWS A CROWD Activity of Volcano Attracts Atten tion Despite llintrr to the Alahtseers. NATLES. March . (Special Cahlegroin to The Bee.) The activity of Vesuvius and the consequent obstruction of tup moun tain railway by lava have lather In creased than decreased the interest of the volcano so far aa tourists are concerned. At first it was supposed that the tourists would be entirely frightened away by the activity of the volcano. It ia found, how ever, that they can be safely conveyed to the spot where the lava has flowed tut on to the rail say line and that they take the greatest Interest in watching the prog ress of the molten stream down the moun tain aide. In some places the lava Is found aw to 3U0 feet wide, completely covering the railway. Men in the employ of Cook's agency have been at work for several weeks on the obstruction reconnecting the railway cables and the telegraph und tele phone wires. Th trouble Ik, however, that no sooner sre tho damages of Vesuvius repaired in one place than trouble breaks out In another direction. Not only haa the activity of Vesuvius attracted the regular tourist, but It has called to Naples a greut many crank. One American claiming to be a college professor, at the hotel lobbies during the past few duya haa been moat earnest and emrhatic in In statements that the present eruption of the volcano Is only a forerun ner of greater disturbance and that it will be followed by volcanic activity uil ever the world, ending in the burning up of the world, lt. destruction through voleanic actlvillia being liberally predicted. MORSE CODE HELPS PRISONERS Dots and Dashes on Water Pipe l.rad W ay to Freedom of Three. BERLIN. March J. (tipeeixl Cublegtam to The Bee.)

There are times when tho Jingoes are In the saddle at this con ference in what may Justly be termed the most southerly town in Spain, since, as th whole world knows, Gibraltar, though part of the peninsula naturally, neveithcless be longs to Great Britain. Ay the French delegates cast their eyes out over land and water to the southward they undoubtedly have some Ideas of the feeling of the chil dren of Israel, who were permitted to ease out and over Into the promised land, but who were not nennltted to enter.

I War Spirit (ironing. 1 Those who were in attendance upon the j Portsmouth conference when the dlfflcul- : ties between Russia and Japan were ad- : Justed through the friendly offices of Presl- dent Roosevelt have called attention to the . fact that whereaa at Portsmouth one day I the feeling would be for peace, the next j day for war, nevertheless on alternato days, week in and week out, the peace, feeling waa constantly growing stronger and stronger, the war feeling continually becoming weaker and weaker. At Algeci- raa the converse of this proposition ap pears true. Though the Jingoes may be I In the saddle one day and the peace pprty j triumphant the next, the Jingoes appear to be growing stronger and stronger tha peace party weaker and weaker. What makea the avevag" Frenchman angry' nnd willing to fight is the fact that Germany is not willing to propound a program for keeping order in the Shereeften mplr.e. X J will not Indicate any reasonable, rational, logical method of procedure.' The only thing tiiat the German delegates appear to have hammered home upon their brains, perhaps by the kaiser, la a rooted objection to what has been called the Tunlsllicatlon of Morocco that Is to say, to the estab lishment of exclusive French Influence in that country', which would be tantamount I tO a French protectorate, oven If tho con venient fiction of Independence were Btrictly maintained. The French claim that theirs la the pre dominant interest In Morocco. It Is in sisted by the delegates that in reality France is the only power ready at hand and willing to put down the existing an archy; that its long and dearly bought experience of the beat way to deal with the Moors of North Africa ought to count for something. The tragl-comedy In Crete and tho unrelieved tragedy In Macedonia alike proclaim the hopelessness of expect ing good order to result in Morocco from an unworkable scheme, only devised to al lay rival jealousies. Even though tho conference breaks up. not in a row, but with half-hearted pledgee of peace, it is safe to say that Germany haa not heard the last of Algeclras. Of course, the German delegates contend that France has been desirous of an armed con flict from the start. Ons of the most influ ential members of the German party, whose name, for reasons diplomatic, can not be given, explains the German position, as follows: Germany's Poaltloa. "Germany had no objection whatever to m. - -......- ,,. ...... . . fair. In Morocco and took no step, of any kind to bring about a change r ranpe on the other hand did aim at bringing about cnauge. aim 1. w ... .r , made In circumstances which affected the political preatlge and the commercial Inter ests of Germany. W parried this move in a purely defensive manner, and the fact of tha assembling of the conference at Al geclras, with all Its attendant ctrcum stances, ha already had the result that it is now no longer possible to speak of a loss of German prellge. Similarly our com mercial interests would not surfer any det riment If the conference were to dissolve without accomplishing its task, since tha existing situation, the statua quo, against which we have raised no objection and never had any to raise .would simply be perpetuated. Therrt 1 therefore by no mean any manifest reason why. If the conference falls to arrive at a solution, Germany should proceed to enter upon a warlike policy. The disadvantage of a failure of the conference would, perhaps, lie rather on the side of France, since it U that country and not Germany which con sider that the existing situation needs to , lie changed." It need surprise no one if war ultimately result from this situation. The trouble I that France feels that Germany is anxious to tight. Perhaps a great deal of tins la due to the many undiplomatic (to Bay tha leasti speeches of the German emperor.

Two liupoi titnt tele phone developments show tnai bweden is in the Iron I tuna when it comes to tbe matter of tne utilization ut many of the modern inventions. T nese Inventions have already been officially adopted by the Swedish government. It Is hoped by these means to bring about the universal uboll- I tloii of tbe tnlvrolH-la.len mouthpiece of I tha preent day telephone. Tne new ; mechanism Is saiu to be very ingemoua, one being available for commercial and pri vate usu and the other fur military held operations and rallwuy work. The invention known as the m.-nophone, which is tor commercial use, has a re ceiver of a new tpe. and of exceptional carrying power. It is about ten Inches long, witll a plain handle, funnel-shaped at one end. This funnel, whether held above or below or to the back of the head or pointed upward or downward, collects the speaker s voice and transmits his words. As the, user must not apply the fuutiel close tu his mouth, the hygienic advan tages are obvious. As the direct current of air does not come into contact with the membrane of the funnel, all disturbing vibrations are avoided and perfect articu lation is secured. The Invention is the work of Mr. Holinstrom, the chief engineer of the Swedish telegraph office, and Is said to be much cheaper than most telephonic attachments designed to produce similar rt sultf. The other Invention Is a field telephone and sound telegraph for mllltarw put poses. It was first designed by Lieutenant L. Jungman of the Swedish Royal Engineers. By Its aid a body of troops, horse or foot, can ke, p In constant touch with a general officer at the base of operations without delaying the march. The apparatus Ij simple to a degree. It consists of a small brass cjiinder about nine Inches long by three In diameter, containing a dry bat tery and a speaking receiver, which la strapped to th chest of the soldier. Fixed to his back are small drums, which, al- though light, can hold 3fK miles of wire, the bae end being, of course, attached to a receiver. Strapped to the ear of the cavalryman Is anothrr receiver, which is also connected with a cylinder. As the trooper gallops along the wiretinrolls from the drum and It may either be allowed to Ha on the ground or be picked up by a soldier following, who places it on the branches of trees. The cylinder receiver la so sensitive thai although It is placed somo twelve inches below the mouth of tho trooper lie need not even bend his head to speak Into It: or. If more convep. lent, the Instrument ran be used as a field sound telegraph by employing the Morse system. For the foot soldier a lighter instrument Is provided. An adspla- tlon of this telephone lias been made for use by railway section hands to enable them to notify the nearest station of any accident or defect on the line.

March X (Rpeeisl Cablegram to The Bee. 1 Vital statistics for the year 16 have surprised If they have not startled the people of the fnlted Kingdom. The one redeeming feature Is that while the birth rate for the year Is the lowest on record the death rate Is also the lowest on record. These vital statistics have been summarized only for the England and Wales sections of the kingdom. This strik ing fact regarding the birth and death ratea is shown for the year given In the registrar general's usual returns for the quarter ending December last. The births equalled 27.2 per 1.IXJ0 of the population, or 0.7 below the rate for 1904 and 1.8 per 1,000 below the average rate In the len years 18H6 to 1!H.

It waa first noticed that these "out breaks" only occurred when they could bo tiaed to aid the plans, often carefully con cealed, of certain officials at St. Peters burg.
