The government's position on th franchise bill, which provides for general, equal and direct suffrage for Austria, which u Introduced several weeks ago and which is now going through the throes of parliamentary travail, is not generally understood either here or abroad. The fundamental Austrian law on parlia mentary representation was enacted on December 21, 1SR7. It was amended In 1868 and again in 1872. the principle remaining unchanged that the Chamber of Deputies should be recruited from the members of the provincial Diets. The deputies num bered 2fS. In April, 1873, a radical change of principle was effected by severing the connection between the Relehsrath and the provincial Wets and by constituting four categories of relchsrath electors. These categories w?e: First, the big landlords second, the cities: third, the chambers of commerce and industry, and fourth, the rural communes. To each category a cer tain number of seats or legislative man dates were assigned. The number of depu ting waa Increased to R3. In 1X82 the fran chise) in all the cities and rural communes waa extended to all male citizens assessed at $2 for direct taxation. In 1S9D Count Badenl reduced this qualification to 11.60 when carrying out Ills great franchise re form. He held fast to the category or curia system, but created a curia of universal suffrage, to which he assigned seventy-two new seat. Thla expedient introduced the principle of universal suffrage, but allowed It to affect barely one-sixth of the chamber and checked Its operation by allowing all the voters of the other categories to vote ever again In the category of universal suffrage. ( Carls System Abolished. The present reform proposes to sweep RISH PARTY SELF-DENYING Aska ff Favor from Oertrssiest aad Oaly Bapport from the People. WBUS, March 17 (Special Cablegram to The Bce.) The relations between the IriKh party and the country may be said to be, in a condition at the present time whera they are creditable to both. The Irish party has ofton been aspersed by Its opponent, but though much maligned, any thoughtful person who looks Into tiia suo Ject must admit that of all parties that were or are in the House of Commons the Irlsli are the most self-denying. By a sclf- dcnylng ordinance they bar themselves out of all places of emolument under the gov ernment. They even forswear the suggest ing of others for posts. They ak from their own people,. not reward but support. That their services are not entirely unap preciated is demonstrated by the fact that the country has always tried to make fair provisions for their support, for, as is well known, a member of the House of Com mons receives no salary. This year the respond promises to be more generous than ever before, and It is expected that considerable will be realized from enter tainments, etc., undertaken in connection with St. Patrick's day celebrations. The landlord's executive lias agnin had under serious consideration the "lerlou loss" entailed on the' landlords by the de lay In paying out the purchase money un der the act of liC. We have never yet had explained where this loss comes in. The landlords are selling at an Hverage of twenty-three years' purchase of all classes of rent. 1'sunlly the tenant con tracts to pay 3S ler cent and often more on the purchase money. The minimum rate gives the landlords SO per cent of their gross rental, while tit the sume time they are relieved of all the cost and losses Of estate management. The Interest Is more than equivalent In the vast majority of cases of the net rental of the eslutes sold. Where then is "the loss?" In a question that has been asked over and over again. Mr, Long explained that a profit could be mudo by clearing their mortgages, and that tha delay In immediately realising the profit is what la meant by "loss" a new mean ing for the word in Ireland. The delay can not be expected to extend beyond a couple of years, while to pay them all Immediately would Impose a burden on the Irish tax payer for sixty-eight and one-half years. It is argued that a Utile patience might be shown in consideration of the fuel that the Irlsih taxpayer Is providing a Hum of $75,000,000 when the discount on the land stock is Included as a reward for the generosity of the vendors In accept ing twenty-six and three-quarter years' purchase of a rental worth only 17. The direct gifts to the landlords when they ara all payable will amount to ' J6.o00.0u0 a year under the various acts j passed by tha late conservative govern ment.

CHINESE STUDENTS ACTIVE AnaUenliis of Xatlo Ikowa la Xv Style) of Mparts la - . School.. CANTON, March 17. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) A new phase, of China's awakening was shown a few days ago In the nratj great athletic meeting In this country. Forty-aevcn Bchools or about 1,000 students competed in various kinds of racaa and sports. The great event took place in the suburbs of this place and caused much excitement. A booth on the Held was devoted to the use of the hospital corps, which was com posed of seventeen young Chlneso doctors, all wearing the Bed Cross badge on their arms. This corps had not a little work to do In reviving boys who were overcome by the unwonted exertions of the contests. The unusual number of such cases showed All the agrarians of whatever I clearly enough that tha Chinese boys have party are dissatisfied with the new allot- j not been imed to such violent games, ment. claiming that the towns have been The runners from one school were favored at the expense of the agricultural 1 stripped to thin shirts, short running districts. . breeches and rubber soled shoes, and their Every male citisen who has completed his hardened muscles showed vigorous train-twenty-fourth year and is not under any j ing.

Every male who has possessed Austrian citizenship for at least thr- years and has completed the thirtieth year of his age, is eligible for election a deputy. Voting is direct In all the provinces. t Minority Representative. In Oallcla, however, there are to be two deputies for every constituency, so as to . permit of th representation of racial mi norities. A voter can vote for only one of these deputies. In Moravia, where the Ger mans and the Cxech recently agreed to di vide tha electorate according to race the constituencies will be constructed upon this principle of at paratlonr and the same prin ciple wiU be Introduced Into other prov incea as soon a th local parties have come to an agreement. In connection with the franchlsa reform bill Baron Gautsch also presented bills to aaur tha freedom, purity and -aeerecy of tha ballot; to amend the existing- provisions concerning tha Immunity of deputies, and to modify the standing order of tha Cham ber In such a manner as to protect Urgent government measures against wanton ob struction. Tha pan-Germans alone are showing the f raal opposition to tha bills. It Is believed, however, that other parties will Join them. Th Polea are In reality hostile, for uni versal suffrage threatens the privileges of Polish gentlemen, and the number of new mandates offered to them la considered In sufficient. The Christian socialists are dis pleased on account of the distribution in Vienna, where, after many years, the Ger man, liberals have agaiu a prospect of win ning seats. They also disapprove of th clause allowing a vote after one year's con tinued residence. Further grounds of dis content among tha Christian socialists ara provisions In the bill ordering; stricter cou trol over tha elections and also an exact examination of tha electoral list. The newspapers, commenting upon the bill, say that its most Interesting featur Is that It marks another great step In the transformation of th Austrian empire from a German to a Slav stat.

TURKEY AND PERSIA ANGRY "War May Follotv Dlspat aa to Tower at tha Two Countries. CONSTANTINOPLE, March tf.-(8pecial Cablegram to The Bee.) War Is threatened between Turkey and Persia over what is known aa the Turko-Penilan frontier dis pute. The chief cause of the trouble appears to be that the Turks have not begun to recall their troops from places w."ilrh are Indis. putably within the Persian frontier. These troops are certainly stationed east of the broad lone marked out by the Anglo-ft us sian commission, and it is claimed that fresh troops have been dispatched to sup port them. The nervousness with which the Persians regard the eltjatlon is In creased by the state of anarchy In the Cau casus and by the fact that though most Persians are Shlltes, a considerable minor ity of Sunltes regard the sultan of Turkey as their khallf. Moreover, the Persian government has been considerably shaken by the revolutionary movement. The move ment has been suppressed, at any rate for the present, by timely concessions to tha moolahs who took the most active part, but there can be no doubt of tha existence of a strong feeling of . discontent, especially among the trading classes, in consequence of the corruption and Inefficiency of the government. LONDON, March 17. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Among all of the colonies Canada would appear to be tha subject uppermost in the minds of the people of the United Kingdom just at the present time. For Instance, there Is A. Mosely, who has recently been making a tour of the dominion and who this week In an Interview described th situation: "Personally, 1 look upon Canada as the Jewel of the empire, and I want our peo ple to take the advice of the prince of Wales and 'wake up' to tho great oppor tunitles it offers. Countless millions of acres of some of the best land In the world are to be had almost for the ask ing; enormous markets are o n, with ever Increasing population, and our manufac turers, if they will but rouse themselves, can step In and do the trade by providing what the Canadians want not necessarily what we think ought to suit the market. Here ugaln lies another complaint mado to me that the British manufacturer does not sufficiently study th market or And out what la wanted and supply that want. "The assets of Canada are simply stu pendous; the country recks with unde veloped riches agricultural soli, timber, minerals, water powers, navigable lake and rivers, fisheries, a healthy and Invig orating climate and lius also excellent free public schools and universities In fact, everything that goes to make a great country, waiting only fur capital and tha energy of man to develop it. , America Heaps Advantage. "Speaking of capital, let me point out that so far it is principally the United State that has reaped the advantage, over $100,000,000 having been quit lately Invested In Canada In large manufacturing plant with the object of supplying the Canadian market and ultimately. If possi ble, England and the colonies also. I do not think it an exaggeration If I say that the great expansion and prosperity one now sees in Canada is alntost entirely due to the American having realised tha possi bilities of the situation, stepping in and developing the country ..'k'What are , thinking of. to 1st others thus capture Britain's heritage?' ' It was Alfred Mosely, whose public spirit and enterprise have been made familiar to his fellow countrymen by his munificent gift of a hospital ship at the time or tha South African war and more recently by the educational and worklngmcn's com missions of Inquiry which he conducted to the United States. Speaking of Canadian emigration Mary R. Ualg naid: ."I have lately gathered a number of Interesting experiences In a email private effort of my own to place upon farms In the province-of Ontario a number of worklngmen, tnoflt of whom have ,been u.uible to obtain anything but the most Intermittent employment for a considerable period previous to their de parture. These twenty-six men represent all classes of the deserving unemployed and average from 10 to 30 years. Most of them were unable to contribute either to ward their equipment with passage money or the necessary Clothing. The only two undertakings verbally entered into were that they would return the money ad vanced to them by Installments as soon as they could and that they would correspond with me as to their conditions and pros pects, and the Outlook for others as to the employment on the farms round about them. Money Comlagr Back. "Both of these honorable engagement are being carried out and the money is coming CAIRO, March 17. (Bnecial Cahleirram to The Bee.) Monsieur K. Navlll and C. T. Currelly have Just mad a Joint report. Interesting because It gives an Insight into the latest discoveries made by the repre sentatives of th Egypt exploration fund. Says this Joint report: "On th north side of a court, over th enclosure of tha old temple, we have Just found remains of a shrine of the eighteenth dynasty of the great king Thotmes III. This building, made of big block of sand stone, did not cover a very large area. A first encouragement waa a fine statue of a scribe who lived at the end of the nineteenth dynasty. A this statue was quite perfect it seemed to ua that it could not be alone. In this respect our hope were deceived; we found no other statue, but suddenly the removal of a few stone revealed to ue a chapel 'covered with sculp tures, tha colors of which are absolutely fresh. It la about ten feet Injs, and five feet wide. The roof I vaulted, painted in blue with yellow stars. This chapel I dedicated to Hathor, and the goddess ha not left her sanctuary. In the chapel Is a beautiful cow of life size. In painted lime stone, reddish brown with black spot The head, horns and flank have evidently been overlaid with gold. The neck I adorned with papyrus stem and flowers, as If she were coming out of the water. She la suckling a little boy, who Is again represented as a grown man under her neck. The cartouche behind the head is that of Amcnophls II., the on of Thothmes III., whose sculptures cover the walls. This 1 the first time that a goddess has been found undisturbed in her sanctuary. Besides, no cow has ever been found of such slzo and supeib workman ship. The modeling of the animal is ex- qulstt and the ' distinctive characters of the Egyptian cattle of the present day are reproduced." Swedish franchise bill ew Law braata RIaht to Vole All Citizens Who Arc Self-Sapportlna. to STOCKHOLM, March 17. (Special Cable- grain to The Bee.) Sweden, like Austria. Is in the nilil.it of a franchise reform agita tion. The new reform bill practically es tablishes universal suffrage In the placo of the present restricted franchise, recogniz ing the right of every male citizen who ha attained the age of 24, with the sole ex ception of those who are under legal tute lage or In a state of bankruptcy, who are in receipt of assistance from the rates and who have failed in the course of three pre ceding year to pay such rate and taxes a tht-y may be liable to pay or to fulfil their military obligations and perform their period of training in the army or navy. Th bill provide that of the 230 member of the second Chamber 1G5 shall be elected by the country district and sixty-five by th towns, so long a the united popula tion of the towns does not exceed 65-230th of the total population of the kingdom. The .delimitation of the, electoral district ta to be revised every nine years. One member is to be elected In each' district; the town and country districts are to be equally divided Into one-member districts so far as practicable on the basin of the present parish divisions, but with special reference to geographical conditions and the number of the electorate; the member to be elected must obtain an absolute ma jority of the votes registered, and where such a majority has not been attained a second ballot will take place on the sys tem of the French ballot. Thus the principles advocated In the con servative bill, which was rejected last ses sion, as a check upon the absolutism of the masses have been completely abandoned and their place taken by a new system more- In harmony with the views of the liberal party now In power.

SEVEN MORE BODIES ' ARE IDENTIFIED Latest Estimate Places Dead at Twenty Two and Injured at Same Number. PRISONER CHAINED TO THE SEAT K. C. Whitney, Who Was Being Taken to Penitentiary by Depaty Sheriff, Had So Chance to Escape. PUEBLO, Colo., March 17. Twenty-two dead and twenty-two Injured is the best estimate of the casualties In the wreck of the two Denver St Rio Grande passenger trains which collided on a curve at a point twenty-five miles west of this city early Friday morning. Only seven of the dead bodies can be Identified, and only one of these retains sufficient of the outline of the features to be readily recognizable. The remainder are known from the fact that the location where the charred bones were found were the places where they would naturally have been when the collision hap pened. Two telegraph operators are held in the public mind to bo responsible for the awful disaster, although no , formal Indlctmout has gone out against them. Both have been ordered discharged from the ervlce of the road. A coroner' Jury ha been empaneled and will begin Investigation of the cause of the accident on Monday next at Canon City. In addition to this the rail road company ha directed Its official to locate the blame through an examination of trainmen and operators, who will be asked to gather together in the future and tell what they know of the deplorable af fair. II. C. Whitney, who was being taken to the penitentiary by Deputy Sheriff Ed E. Balrd, had been chained to his seat and when the fire broke out In the wreckage he had no chance whatever to escape. By the irony of fate his cuird perished with him. The Colorado laws have a provision making It a crime to fasten prisoner to car seats in transportation. K. F. Lively, one of tho operators whose failure to deliver the train order that re- ulted in the collision, says of his failure to deliver th train order: i "I was asleep; that's all." It Is asserted that Lively had worked for several day without sleep. Additional ftamea of Dead.

All my work has been done In dependently of any of the emigration socie ties and I have depended entirely on the wise counsel of the Canadian government commissioner of emigration here, Mr. Pres ton, conjointly with the help of the gov ernment agents In Toronto." George Gerrlng having stated that it cost at least $1,600 to "dump" a family In Can ada, W. Carlile, the honorary chief secre tary of the Church Army, explains: "We are prepared to place individuals in good situations In Canada for $00 per head or $160 for a small family. In our expert ences the aidely different conditions gov erning the Immediate replacing of families on the land in this country render tha cost prohibitive. The management . of the Church Army doea not press emigration a a panacea or an Ideal remedy, but we do maintain that It Is alike beneficial to the individual emigrant and to the empire." The Self-Help Emigration society, of which Lord Aberdeen ia president and E. Wilson Gates secretary, has just Issued It annual report. The report show that MO emigrant went out last year under th auspices of th society twelve going to New Zealand, one to South Africa and St to Canada. Of th year' expenditure, approximately $30,000. about $27,000 waa con tributed by emigrant and by those per sonally interested In the emigrants. Th number of emigrant aldrd by the society ha now reached I.SuI and $".5,000 has been spent for ocean arid railway fares, $210,000 having been contributed by th emigrant and their friend. The past year, the re port say, has been one of success on so cvunt of th character aa well a th num lr of emigrants helped. "The unfit and indeslrable. from Canada' point of view, are r.:t encouraged to emigrate. A very Urge number of application are declined becaus th applicant lack the qualities essential to success. bly scientific, ha occupied the poat ever since. The Egyptian government did not welcome this prolonged sojourn, partlru larlv a the member of the mission and the natives failed to agree, Aa a pacific means of exerting pressure to induce the departure of the visitors It waa resolved about three months ago to stop the Belgian transport and post scr vices on the Nile, but up to the present the Congolese mission has apparently pro. cured sufficient supplies from It Congo base to withstand the inconvenience in volved. The British and Egyptian govern ment are on good term with the Belgian government, and there seem to be every hope that tha mission will shortly be with drawn from, territory within the sphere of British and Egyptian Jurisdiction with out Imposing the necessity of resortiag to stronger measures than those already In operation. It is to be presumed that the cessation of the transport and post ser vices is being eontiiued by the Soudan administration by way of reprisal. The situation Is, however, complicated In many ways and it la difficult to even venture a guess a to the final outcome.
