to make himself absolute monarch of the

Wi The Bee.1 There I much speculation as
to who will finally -evolve as the new labor
lead-ir In 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.
Voting a man a leader In a rough and

fighters among the worklngmeti recently
elected to Parliament ll should be remem
bered that few of thein will have more
than a fighting chance. 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.
He was educated at a church

employed the word "murderer" In the same

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.

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:

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 ,

It need surprise no one if war ultimately

STuCklluUil, Matcn S. (Special Cable
gram to Tiie tlee.) 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.

The one redeeming feature Is that while
the birth rate for the year Is 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

equalled 27.2 per 1.IXJ0 of the population, or
0.7 below the rate for 1904 and 1.8 per 1,000

that tho anti-semetlc "outbreaks" are not

Work of the lllaek Hundred.
The principal forcea employed in thl
work are members of the "Black Hundred,"
en association which haa had no parallel
In western life since the paid assassins of
Italy were wiped out of existence. Some
members of thia society may be actuated by
high motives and should be confined in
asjlumua aa Insane, but the larger number
are simply paid murderer, acting at the
command of men whom, they only know aa
commanders. Thny profes intense loyalty
to the throne and to he state religion, but
It Is to he leniembcred that the expression
of liberality er. the part of the czar meet
with anythtr.g but approval from these
men, who see In a constitutional govern
ment the end of their work.
Their occupation for a number of year
ha been to fix in the mind of people not
familiar with Russia, and even In the minds
of some of the Russian of the higher
classes, the idea that the mujlk is a savage
that he la not only incapable of any de. '
gree of self-government, but that he doea
not know his friends from his foes.
Only Comment of IJfe.
The. late Issue of Life is profusely a
"monument" to the victim of the mob.
Tile only comment on the subject la'ln the
form of a poem, which, printed In "Yid
dish," may be freely translated a follows:
Here holy offerings and clean are
Laid on nltar of Freedom, Joy and Fate;
The blood-stained knife of angry enemy
Is not yet sheathed, so deadly la his hate.
The blond I not washed from hla mud'rou
hand.
The prison casts It ahadow o'er the land,
The ancient walls are standing as they
stood.
While venom dyes it fang in manhood'
blood.
We have no time to mourn you. dearest
For hate has filled the air to saturation;
The heart la and. but anger bows the head
Before the awful scourging nf the nation.
This is no time to mourn you and your
grief
Are sacrifices laid on Freedom' shrine.
An.l when In Joy and peace we have relief,
Weil pay the tribute that I Justly thine.
But now the drum ure beat and trumpet
blow. ,
And In each face ia shown the fear of foe;
The camp of armed men are fearful large
And hourly we fear the trooper' charge.
Once more begin the carnage dread
Thev rush with wail of storm, or of a
fiend.
Abuse is burled upon those not yet dead
A11J curse uH.n infants not yet weaned.
From every quarter sounds a funeral hvmn.
For every quarter ha seen slaughter grim:
Throughout the winter day and twilight
dim
Is herd the funeral prayer of "El Molay
Rachmlm."

WILDEST FANATICISM OF AGE
Elder Patterson F presses Ilia
Opinion of Hla Son's Vrw
Political Belief.
NEW YORK. March 3. R. W. i'atturson,
editor of the Chicago Tribune, does not
share In the socialistic views expressed
yesterday by his son. Joseph .Medlll Patter
son, the former commissioner of public
woiks of Chicago. The elder Mr. Patterson
and his son were at the Holland house In
this city today and both cxpreesnd decided
opinions upon the subject. Tha younger
mah"rcltertor the statements -voiced yes
terday after tils resignation as commis
sioner of public works of Chicago had be
come known. Ills father declared It to bo
Ills belief that "socialism la one of the
wildest fanaticism of the age."
He added that the real reason his son
gave up his municipal office was because
he had been asked to do things for which
he could have been Indicted and for which
ho should have been indicted had he done
them. While be did not at' all agree with
his son's theories, Mr. Patterson said he
conceded to every man the right to think
for himself, and added that a mere differ
ence of opinions would not be permitted to
make any difference In the relation between
his son and himself.
"If sous did not have any different Ideas
from their fathers," he said, "we would
be back In the days of Abraham."
The younger Mr. Patterson will remain
In New York several day to participate
In :he conference on socialism which was
called by James O. Phelp Stokes. R. W.
Patterson nnd his daughter will return
to Chicago at once.
