LONDON, March 31. tSpeclal Cablegram to The Hee.) According to Intimate friends of Kdnard llufane Lonkln, he waa not as he claimed during his lifetime, a grandson of (Jenerol Sir Hufune Bhaw Donkin and IjiJv Donkin, the daughter of the late Dr. Markham, dean of York, but rather he was the Illegitimate eon of one of the great ecclesiastics of London and a lady, a mem ber of ono of the noblo families ot Eng land, almost royal In fact. In order to prevent a acuudak which would have readied almost to the foot of the throne ItH.jlf tha Donkin family has kept the secret locked In their breasts. They have been compelled to keep silent In connection with rrtany of the mi."dceds of one of the most brilliant Intellects of the ago through loyalty to religion and country. Donkin In his time plnyed many parts, but the only ono which he appears to have played with final success and without con troversy was that of prophet. Only three week before his death he wrote to a num ber of his friends, "I shall die very shortly. prolMbly within a month," and for once he appears to have told the truth "for the first time in his llf" according to one of his cleric enemies; Yet the nvmncr of his death was such that unless he fooled the whole world to the very lust, ho did not commit suicide, and thero has not heen the slightest suggestion that he could have killed himself, notwithstanding the slrange prophesy In corneetlon with his death. Donkin must have descended from ft long line of ecleslnstlcsl ancestors, so kindly did he take to theological discussions In all of their various forms, t'mler the cloak of religion and he changed his religions as quickly and as often as a quick-chnnge performer does his dress ho pteyed on two churches and three continents. In America he was het known as "The Mitred Abbot," reaching the helghth of hla fame, or Infamy at Cleveland. O., where a scanni of the worst order arose, result ing In Us being driven from that city.

FEMALE SPY TAKEN AT TOULON American Artlat Arreed at Home ot Woinun Aeensed of Being; Traitor. PARIS, March M. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Another alleged case of spying la reported from Toulon, the central and apparently the moat substantial figure being a buxom blonde of twenty summers. Who Is asserted to have been married to some petty official from whom she soon separated, a .she found the conjugal pro gram too dull i for her tasfirs. The au thorities, fancying that some sly game was being played, began with a search for the woman In the case. Their choice fell upon this pretty creature, who Is described as having- been on very friendly terms with a number of naval officers. By dint of keeping sharp eye on the ferscinat lng female, the officials noticed that an Italian, who had been a few weeka at Toulon, waa a frequent visitor at her abode, andon prosecuting their Inquiry s i 1,urtnPr tl,ey ascertained that he waa in o j oioae Duamess relations wiin an American artist, toese two men, wlttt the assistance of a third, also an Italian, being engaged In getting up an album of views- of that picturesque coast, with every chance of a brUk sale during the Riviera season. About a week ago the semi-detached wife of the petty functionary went off to spend a few days at Montpelller. She returned to Toulon Wednesday and waa again mak Ing preparation for departure when the police put in an appearance at her dwelling, where the two Italians, the American artist, and a French teaman, who is employed at the naval dock yard, were assembled. Thoy arrested the whole lot, but later the Ameri can artist and the two Italians were set at liberty, but the bewitching female and the sailor were detained In custody. It Is added that the search that was carried on st her retreat revealed various missives which had been written by her to the sailor, one, as In affirmed, actually containing an offer of )23,U00 It certain papers could be procured.

The subject of tho nationali sation of the railwaya of Japan, a subject in which Americana aro Interested, Is be ing discussed with Intensity, pro and con. Tho subject lias long been discussed, but lis magnitude has compelled a postpone ment ot an attempted solution of the mat ter, nor Is It cleat Just how Japan with all of the burdens of the recent war with Russia pressing down with almost crushing financial weight is to soivo the problem. According to the general plan favored by 'tho government, however, the stato pur chases nil private railways at a fixed rate- namely, twenty times the average profits of the three years prcceaing tho war, the treasury paying by means of 5 per cent bonds, which the companies are to divide among the shareholders. The objection has been urged that this looks perilously like the public confiscation of private property, but the counter claim Is made that tho greatest car will be exercised to carry out tho measures slowly and pru dently In order to avoid affecting the mar ket,". A special account will b created and all nel revenues from the railways will be applied In payment of interest and amortization charges, whefehy the total amount of the bonds will hi redeemed within forty-five years. After the bonds have been redeemed the annual revenue accruing to the state. It has been estimated, will reach $27,50n.nr. It Is argued that the plan will promote Industry by economixirg railway expenses and Improving frame facilities. It Is generally asserted In the Japanese newspapers that this plan was suggested by a great foreign capitalist, Mr. Hnixlman, who has offered substantial assistance and advice. Payroll Padded. Among the shareholder of some of the privately ' owned railroad there la con siderable bitterness of feelln-j because heavy salaries have been paid high railway officials, and there haa be.ui omo padding of pay rolls, and stealing In connection with contracts and franchises. The argu ment Is advanced that if the administration had only been more economical the railway profits on the three-year-average basis would 'have been far larger and the amount paid by . the "state in the event of the adoption Of the general scheme would be far greater for each Individual. Some of the shareholders are saying that they would never have consented to the extravagances of administration if they could have fore seen this three-year-average rule, and much hard feeling haa resulted. Marquis Salon! In explaining the mens tire for the benefit of the Japanese press says that the nationalization of the rail ways in Japan and Corea Is the most Im portant of the measures which have come up since the war. ThJ nationalization of the railways of Japan has always been contemplated by the government, but It has not been regarded as pract' iil up to this time because of flnancia. ' reasons. The marquis explained that the state merely allowed private citizens, for convenience's sake to construct railways. After the Boxer troubles, continued Marquis SalonJI, the Intentions' of the government were made particularly clear. , The prosperity of the country, he argued, depended upon the efficiency of its communications. Prom Hokkaido to Klushu. apart form the gov ernment lines there were over thirty private companies with a total mileage of less than LOoO, besides many other less important systems scattered over the country. There was no unity In freight charges, and pas senger transportation waa alow and behind the age. Government to Improve Service The marquis contends that governmental control will do away with these evils. But If the commercial arguments were not con vincing the marquis contends there can be no debate about the matter of the atate eventually taking control because of mili tary reasons. Even Mr. Kato. who has ob jected to the detailed methods a partak Ing of force openly announced that he approves of the theory of the nationaliza tion of railways. The members of the varlou! political partlea appear to agree when discussing the general principles, but they split Into many factions and - take many different points of view when It comes down to the details of financing the proposition and taking over various lines. Some of the opponents of Marquis Sal oujl do not hesitate to say that the gov ernment railroads are the worst managed in the country and that although they are compelled by competition to Imitate the methods of the private railroads, they In reality make a very poor attempt Then again, the action ot the governmen In fixing Its own price for the purchuau of tho UncH is denounced as arbitrary The private railway regime, It is urged wursea spicnuiuiy uunng the late war, and the new program It is asserted will only mean another monopoly added to those already working or about to be in augurated. namely. matches, tobacco boer, camphor, sali and sugar.

DI'BLIN, March 31.-t3peclal Cablegram to The Bee.) At Its sixth annual meetlnr. Just held, the national directory demon strated In its report the rapid and con tinued growth of the national organisa tion. According to thesd reports the de velopment of the Vnltr-d Irish leegue. tested by the number cf new branehel or the total subscriptions, is prominently st Isfactory. Beyond all comparison Inst year was the most successful of lis existenca. The subscriptions, compared with the previous year, were $15.0 to IH.WiO; the numlier of branches had increased by 178 to the total of l.ltW, which Is tho present muster .roll. Tho secretary reported ac tivity and enthsulasri on the part of ex isting branches. He also reported requests for the establishment of branches In dis. trirts which have hitherto lain outside tho sphere of Influence of thU ' organization. Subsequent resolutions showed a determina tion to organize further the forces ef larg'' istricts already In revolt against the nnion- ?ts. Provision wns undo for fuller na- ionnllst registration In such districts in preparation for the next election. On the great questions of the restoration of the evicted tenants nnd the redistribution cf grass Innds the report may be said to be decidedly eneournglng. The secret Instruc tions by which Mr. 'Vryndtiftm had. In de fiance of his pledges to 'he IIouho of Com mons, delllierntely hampered the work of restoration and redistribution; the secret nstrurtlons which constrained the com missioners to put asldo all things else, save, to push the snles through at big prices, have been cancelled. It was reported. Hope whs expressed that the long vexed question of reinstatement will be.ve moved a long way In the direction of a complete ettlemcnt before the next six months have elapsed. Naturally the first resolution adopted wns a record of hearty approval of 'the over whelming defeat of the conservatives nnd unionists. The directory, by a resolution. declared unreserved support and approval for the policy of the liberals and nation alists. It appeared confident In Its re solve to keep home rnlo In the forefront while pressing for minor reforms as ne cessity and opportunity may arise. Tha promise of a laborer!' bill was hailed with satisfaction and an urgent appeal was made to the government to draw the hill on generous lines, that It may give the relief for which it Is designed. The mission resolved to move on to America and Australia and the delegate selected commanded enthuslastto approval. The directory expressed a desire for an un derstanding with the United States, and it was hoped that their Influence would be exerted In favor of home rule legislation. Comment was made on the fnct that tho address of the Australlnn federation to his majesty, the king, is the most advanced manifesto yet seen, showing Australia's Interest in Ireland. The opinion waa ex pressed that to maintain and develop the support of the colonies and America no better delegates could have been chosen.

Are Recommended hy Men Who Have Iavestl grated the Sltnatloa. - BRUSSELS, March 31.-(Special Cable gram to The Bee.) It Is understood that the Congo commission of reform!, which reported this week, fully endorsed the con clusions of the Inquiry commission In their report, addressed to the Congo central government. The commission recommends 'that existing laws concerning the land regime and forty hours' labor tax rihould be enforced atrictly, firearm should no longer be entrusted to natlvo soldiery, the sentry system should be sup pressed, the right of compulsion be with drawn from the commercial companies, and military expeditions be regulated. The commission also emphasises that urgent reforms . are needed in the administration of Justice, among them the grant of entire freedom to public prosecution, which has hitherto been under the Influence of th central administration. The Congo government intends to take Immediate steps to Introduce the reforms proposed by the commission. Instructions have been telegraphed In that sense tJ General Wahla, governor-general, and to the vice-governor of the state. It Is hoped that he reforms will be prompt, for there Is a rising feeling in Belgium for the cor rection of Congo misrule, and the recent debate in the Belgium house has consider ably enhanced that feeling. The publication by the Belgian press of the entire text of Secretary Root's letter to a member of congress, giving the re a sons for America refusing to Interfere In the Congo affairs. Is received with en thusiusni. Many consider that Mr. Root's frankly expressed opinion is the best les son ever given to the Congo's enemies. NEW PLAN FOR RECRUITING British War Department Will Spend Money to Get Men Into Army. . LONDON, March St. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.)

March 31. -After a plenary session lasting until 6 o'clock this after noon the conference on Moroccan reforms registered a complete accord and appointed a committee to emliody this accord In a formal protocol. The consummation of th work In the. conference wns announced in the following offlclnl communication: The conference has terminated Its lsbors nnd accord Is established upon all points.

This committee will nihet Monday o consider the final formalities of tho protocol. v Mr. Whlto, the American delegate, is ot the opinion thst the result Is a satisfactory ono, not only because the Immediate future of Morocco Is secured, but because the manner of the settlement Is satisfactory to both France and Germany .and removes tho causes for friction nnd restores inter national relations to normal. The prin ciples for which Germany Insisted, the In togrlty of Morocco and equal commercial and economlo rights there, Mr. White thought were recognized, while the special position claimed by France was also ac knowlcdged. White Plnys Important Part. Others of the leading delegates confirm Iff. White'! opinion . and emphasize the good effect the results should have on the European situation. . They say that the agreement was In no small measure due to tho efflcscy of the mediation on the part of the United States . through ' Us chief representative. With reference to the effect of the con ference on Morocco, the delegates were reserved In their opinion. They admitted however, that the operation of real reform! will be Impossible without the good will and. aanciioa. of. th sultan and his advis ers, and for .that reason tho last act of the conference will be to authorize that tho reform program as adopted be sub mltted to the sultan by Chevalier Mal musl, the Italian minister to Morocco, who Is dean of the diplomatic corpa at Tangier, with the Intlrratlon that It 1 the unani mous wish of the powers that It be put into operation Immediately.

There ia . a itrng feeling among hla colleague! that Mr. Gummere should visit Fes with the other foreign mission!. Germany Is Isolated. BERLIN, March 31. The gains and losses due to Germany's Moroccan- policy are be ing reckoned up at the foreign office. That it Is Germany"! purpose to bOcon suited wh;n other powers are arranging the future of weak states Is now regarded as established. In face of the diplomatic re slstance of France, Great Britain. Italy, Spain and Russia the Germans throughout the long controversy have been compelled to recognize that they have not a friend In Europe except Austria. The triple sill anco failed to hold Italy to the support of Germany.- The - strain of these months revealed that Italy Is (a secret agreement with France rnd the triple - alliance, al though existing aa before on parchment, la considered to be virtually onded. DI plomacy may reconstruct the alliance at the expiration of Its term, but the reliance of Germany on the constancy of Italy ha been shaken for the present. Russia, also upon whom Germany counted as remaining neutral In the discussion of Moroccan ques Hons, has been against It. Germans, however. It Is pointed out, regard it as a great gain ' to learn that they cannot rely on International policies on any one except themselves and Austria. Respecting Morocco Itself Germany ha secured equal trade for the fut jre and has checked for some years the development of French political designs. The losses sustained by Germany, and they are deemed great ones by those wh are opposed to its Moroccan policy, are that a reconciliation with FVanca has been delayed Indefinitely, wl l!e France ' an Oreat Britain have been pressed elosel together In their mutual Slslike of Ger many. The effect on Internal opinion In Germany of the government's Moroccan policy has ljcen to consolidate and strengthen the conviction that Germany must continue to develop Us navy In order to be safe In future International discus sions, and that It has also increased Ger many's determination to avoid the ruin of war. Victory for France. IjQNDON, March II. Although antici pated for a fortnight, the auccessful out come of the Algeclraa conference on Moroc can reforms brought great relief to Eng land, as during the last year the Moroccan question was the only one causing serious misgivings for the peace of Europe.
