BERLIN, May S.-.8peclal Cablegram to The Bee.)-lt would be difficult to Imagine anything more undignified than the prea controversy which has arisen over Emperor Wtllinm' characteristic telegrsm to Count Ocluchowhhi and Its supposed bearing upon the reletlon of Germany with Italy. The German press has hardly censed at tacking Russia for having, as It alleges, been guided at Algeclras by loyalty to her French ally rather than by gratitude to her German neighbor, and the lndlgation of the Orrman financial world has Just been excited by the vindictive action of the gov ernment In prohibiting the new Russian loan. And now. In the most Illogical fash ion. Italy la attacked for having pursued In a similar dilemma precisely the m course which Ruse!? Is condemned for not having adopted. If Russia had supported Germany at Algeclra it would be easy to Imagine the French rress if only the French press could so far forget the na tional dignity addressing Russia 'In lan guage like that which the Berlin Post em ploys toward Italy.

Is still so exquisitely ornamented that It has been' described as "the most beautiful book In ithe world." Tha singular orna mentation of these manuscripts Is often repeated on the sculptured crosses lit which Ireland la so exceptionally rich.

Tha exhibition la held r m that to be the satellite of France and Eng land will pay It better than the old policy of tha triple alliance, very well. But no one has any right to assert that Italy has been driven to take this course by 'Inconsider ate treatment' at the hands of Germany." The same Berlin Journal denle that the Geiman emperor manifested any lack of sympathy In connection with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He only could not help asking "whether German sympathy would nowadays be properly appreciated In Italy." It Is a fact that the real results of the Morocco conference are only allowed to appear In subordinate clauses of the Ger man comments. The disproportion between the means employed In the spring and the summer of 1806 and the specific results achieved after a year of International dis turbance Is too apparent to escape critic ism, and It also evokes Involuntary con fesslons with regard to the real object of the German action. There Is no reason, it Is declared, to believe that the pacific dec larations of Prince Bulow In April, 1901, on the subject of Germany's attitude towards tha Anglo-French Moroccan agreement were not sincere. The Idea that the agree ment ought to have been officially commu nicated to Germany was a mere after thmiirht Slid had no foundation In the usages of International Intercourse.

JOHN IMLUN It is recalled here that when Miss Maud McCarthy, the now famous violinist, made her first appcasance In London as a child of 10 G Bedstone, who was among her audt nca, na deeply Impressed with her ex traordinary gifts. Ever afterwards he took a ksan Interest in her career and in a presentation copy of bis book, "Social Aa- oecta of the Irish question, tne oisun uiahed statesman wrote: "To the dear little Irish musician.' from W.

Kntlarratloa Is DecrnasLnaj. ; Soma remarkable facts' have Just coma to light In the emigration returns from Ire land. Just published. Chief among theaa la tha axtraordlnary .reduction In emigra tion ' from this country. - The number of parsona who left Ireland In 1 was tha smallest alnce 186L when offlclal returns ward first obtained. In that year only seven per LOCO of the population emi grated. To state be fact that In 1903, 1904 ajid I the number of emigrants was If .78. K.aot and 30,C7. as against ' 1S2.000 In ikl. 180.33 In IK! and 173,148 in 1853 Is to record a true economic revolution. Ireland naa hitherto exhibited emigration on a vast acala. In every parish there has been an organised system mora effective than any ever devised by any government. Tha son went out aa a pioneer. t In dua time the old folks and hla womankind followed, and nhey sooner or later Induced their neigh bors to try thalr fortunes In tba new world. 'A few of ' those who left early In Ufa returned to tho old country, but aa a general thing, their coining only served to stimulate otners in iouow ineir rxampte. From mast European countries emigration haa bean sporadic.' From time ta time there hava bean great waves propelled by polltloai or economic causes. When they abated tha movement was uncertain and un steady. From Ireland there naa been a stream flowing with varying volume, but always large. It seamed plausible to argue that aa the Irish In the I'ntted . States incisaaed tha culfiow must increasa In geo metrical prcgnanlon.. The actual figures contradict these prophwies. For some i son tha Irishman of today appoara more inclined to remain at home. Of scarcely less ' Importance was the change in the destination. Heretofore the United Btatrt Raler af Canton Province Prefers Rat ta Meet Kmtssary af Kntperer. HONG . KONG. May S. (Soeclal Cabli gram to The Bee.) The Viceroy Ts'en left Canton last week for the ostensible purpose of making a tour of Inspection of the province. The real reason, however, for his departure affords an Instructive example of the Chines system of govern ment. T?rwW orders from the throne, tha Nanking Vloeroy'o delegate arrived In Canton with Instructions to Inquire Into and. report -; upon' tlje causes of the recent friction between .the viceroy and the mer chants and gentry with regard to the provision of .funds for the proposed rail way between Han-Kau and Canton under native control. The viceroy does ' not condescend to meet the delegate, and therefore absents himself. Meanwhile, of ficial vtewa and public opinion In the three province concerned continue to dis agree, and the whole question Is In a state of hopeless confusion. The viceroy proposes to rrtemorlalixe the throne to remove the capital of Kwang-sl from Kwol-Un to Nan-ntng, and prep arations are now being made to establish a settlement and to open a custom house at the latter place. Experts report that the prospects of steam navigation of the river above Wu-chaw are not promising. Never theless the proposed change will evidently be beneficial so far aa commercial and ad ministrative purposes are concerned. It Is noteworthy that Nan-nlng was declared an open port by Imperial edict In Febru ary. ISM. LONDON FACES EPIDEMIC Cenatr Ceaacll Admits that Water apply la Tainted with Sewage, 'LONDON. May . (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) A really serious question con fronts the people of this city In the matter cf impure drinking water. At the present time there is reason to believe that Lon don is In actual peril of an epidemic of disease from drinking sewage polluted water. The danger affects directly tba whole of the east end. with Its millions of working inhabitants, who. In the pro portion of one-third of the whole popula tlon of London, draw their drinking sup plies from the mains of the old East Lon don Water company, now taken over by the water board. Bo serious Is the altua tlon that the water board has presented a bill In Parliament to enable It to remove the pollution from the sources of supply. The water board has confessed that It la supplying East London with sewage-In fected drinking water, and has asked Par liament to sanction the expenditure of t2.MD.000 In placing the Intake several miles higher up the river and In works for tha (Continued an Hecand Page ) JOHANNESBURG. May S.-lSpeclal Ca blegram to The tiee.) The situation here. so far as the relations between the home government and the Brltisti colonists In the Transvaal is concerned, has certainly improved during the past few weeks. One thing which hud a marked e fleet In se curing this result was the tact that the last speech delivered by the under secre tary of state for the colonies was on a higher plane and breathed a much more statesmanlike spirit than his earlier ef forts. And It Is believed that the eager ness with which the Johanncsburgers have hastened to place a favorable construction on a few encouraging statements will teach Lord Elgin and his representatives that the British subjects of South Africa are loyal .to the core and that, while they will always respond to kindly guidance, they will refuse to be driven. Het Volk followers are clearly anxious about the situation, because they have been making desperate efforts to drive a wedge Into the British vote, and political experience In other parts of South Africa, notably In Cape Colony, certainly has a tendency tr Justify their hopes of suc cess. It is a very curious phenomenon In the politics of this country that the Brit ish party, though it haa at times allied Itself with the Dutchmen opposed to Brit ish, rule and has repeatedly, even In times of crisis, broken up Into conflicting sec tlous, still when actual hostilities have broken out It hue been found to be pretty generally loyal. An Idea Is prevalent that the new con stltutlon will provide for manhood suf frage. Accordingly General : Botha and Mr. Smuts are bidding for support and additional votes from the least desirable element of the town population by advo cating the abolition of the Native Labor association, and they returned to the tout ing system. As far as the natives are concerned, the system is Indefensible on moral and humane grounds, but It would provide congenial occupation for a numt ber of persons otherwise unemployed, to whom manhood suffrage would give votes. grants Attacks Mllner. In the same breath Mr. Smula declares that tha treatment of natives on the Rand Is bad and urges tbe extended employment of whites. Throughout the Speeches there I also a running attack on Lord Mllner and the mining Industry. The mass of the new population la Ignored, and the Issue Is represented as If It were a question of the domination of three or four, capi talists whose chief crime Is the fact that they are thoroughly British. Hitherto the new population have been fighting on two fronts,, but it Is believed the more sympa thetic attitude of the home government will enable them to attend exclusively to the political situation within the Trans vaal. ' Reports Indicate that great satisfaction has been caused at Cape Town by tho recent announcement that the government will from July 1 restore to their previous figures the salaries of civil servants. In cluding railway employes, which had been lowered to meet the urgent demand for retrenchment In the cost of government. The position has been this: The ministry which commands the majority on broad grounds ha been seriously damaged by untoward local' influences, .principally this retrenchment, and by what la known a the squabble of the ports. There is rea son to believe that the latter also may be arranged so that minister look hop fully to the coming session. Their pro posal with reference to a meat duty for Capetown will be stoutly resisted by the free food section of their own progressiva party, but will be carried by a majority In Parliament. Connrll May Be Troublesome The legislative council may possibly ba troublesome, but It will not give any vote Involving a dissolution such as the rejec tion of supply. Incidentally It may bo Inferred from the fact that the ministry expects tha mean wherewith t restore salaries that the new ' customs carry, which at present Is a close secret, will yield a definite Increase of revenue.' At tha annual meeting of the Chemical. Metallurgical and Mining Society of 6outh Africa, held thla week, Mr. Quinn, mayor of this city. In proposing the toast of the mining Industry gave an admirable sum mary of the benefits conferred by the In dustry on the Transvaal and South Africa In general, and Indeed the whole world, from th commercial point of view, which a large local merchant he specially represents. Quoting from the last report of the government mining engineer . no showed that the' Industry had in one year spent over $10,000,000 on new machinery, MORMONS IN GREAT BRITAIN Itnsj Society Claims to Mare Over Ifaadred Tnaaaand Converts In F.narlanri. LONDON. May 8. Srecll Cablegram to The Bee. Tho Mormons are conducting a really active and aggressive campaign In the heart of Ionrlon. "Joseph Smith found the gospel written In Egyptian characters and letters of gold on tablets in the state of New York." said a missionary at a mass meeting held In connection with the seml-annunl ' con ference of the Ixmrtnn, society In Finsbury town hall. "There Is evidence that the lost ten tribes of Israel went to America and that the red Indians are descended from Israelitlsh stock." Elder Miles J. Jones presided over the meetings and the principal speaker was President Heber J. Grant of I'tah, who was regarded with reverence on account of his personal acquaintance with the "prophet." A challenge was thrown by one of the American elders: "I challenge the world for proof that Joseph Smith Is not a prophet and that Mormonlsni Is not true," he said. "I will give any one $100 who will prove those things." There were no takers, hut one woman created a diversion by boldly remarking that the Latter Day Saints were false prophets. . She was crushed by the speaker's, who one after another volubly asserted the divinity of Joseph Smith and the truth of . the gospel of the Book of Mormon. There was a little excitement fof a time, hut It soon died away, the interrupter contenting her self with making the one protest. The London Mormons claim that they are not polygamlsts. They claim that since 1900 no member of the sect has married more than One wife, -and this has, so the missionaries assort, conduced to the rapid spread of their doctrine. They claim 120,000 converts In England.

(Special Cablegram to The Bee.) According to advices received here from Captain W. R. Cresswell. director of naval forces, the long discussed project of a local navy for the Australian com monwealth Is about to materialise. Captain Cresswell has made i the rounds of the Important naval building yards on the Tyna and Clyde -and has now for warded specifications and estimates for the construction of four torpedo boats to Sen ator Thomas Playford, with whom rests the responsibility of definitely placing the orders. It Is not suggested that this force should In any way be a eubstltute for the British Australian squadron. It will be merely supplementary to It. Captain Cresswell, in the course of his report, very clearly explains the views of the authorities upon. the subject of the proposed local navy. "Our Idea," he said, 'is to assist the Im perial fleet, and not to Supersede It. Our navy will stand In the Same light to the British fleet that a solitary watchman In warehouse does to tr.e. onramsea police system. We propose to begin by building up a torpedo flotilla. The estimates will come on for discussion by the middle , of June, and think I may say that the scheme I pro pose will be adopted. The additional ex penditure Incumbent upon the Common wealth will be about $000,000 per annum." Sir George B. Clark of the Imperial de fense, council, with whom Captain Cress well has been In consulttatlon, Is under stood (o favor this scheme. purification of the water from sewage.

WASHINGTON, Mhy In view of the publications today in regard to the presi dent's position on the railroad rate legis lation and the amendmenta proposed an authoritative statement was 'Issued at th White House today defining the presi dent's position. The statement follows: The so-called Allison amendment; In the president's JudKinert. simply '"1 aflirmatlvely what the president bellees Is already comalned in tne Hepourn bill; but, if there is the slightest ou"t o. n hotnr thus already contained in the bill the president would Insist uno-.i Its being put in, because unless It Is thu contained the bill undoubtedly would be therefore, as Incorporating tho AlMso.t amendment under no circumstanres wou.u do anything but good and, as there is nu honest doubt on the part of some sincere adherents of the bill whether It is or not already bv Implication contained In the bill, the president Is clearly of the opinion that the Allison smendment should be put In and this without reward to whether other amendments are or are not adopted. If the Hepburn b'l.' th-refore passes in this form, which Is practically th exact form in which It passed the house, It will be satisfactory to the president who, from the beginning, has stated that the Hepburn bill Itself would be satis factory. But the president would like If In addition to the Allison amendment, the so-called Long and Overman amend ments were adopted. While the president regards these amendments with favor and would like to soe them adopted he does In the least regard them as vital and feels that the Hepburn bill would still Da In excellent shape even without thm. Senators Call at White House. Assurances were today given the presi dent that practically the republican strength would be cast for the Allison amemlmuht to the railroad rate bill. Many senator called at the White House and not a few at the apartments of Senator Allison, and In this way messages Jiave been exenangea. Senator Allison hopes to be well enough to be In his seat Monday, but It la likely that the compromise will not be offered un til the rat making and court section of the bill are reached. Probably this will not be before Tuesday or Wednesday. After that Is voted upon there will be a few amend ment pressed and the flnal vote on the bill may come as early as Wednesday. , Comparatively few senator were at tne capltol today. Instead of having a confer ence, aa had been suggested. , the leader seemed to think that the general w;eloomn given ,to the statement that a compromise had been agreed upon made ueh a gather ing unnecessary. The few who did meet at the capltol discussed the president's state ment endorsing the. Allison amendment and excreased the opinion that his acceptance of the proposition eliminated all propect of a contest. Attitude of Democrat. Many of the democrats, especially those who advocated Senator Bailey plan for a limited review, wer Inclined to look with some doubt upon the compromise proposl lion. They would have preferred the bill without amendment aa the alternative of the Baney itndments. Nevertheless, they "concede that the .VHson amendment will go through. A suggesVon was made today that the democrat shotlh?. all vote against the amendment, not with ?n idea of de featlng It, but simply to show their dlsap proval of Its terms. The minority, It Is be lleved, will vote unanimously for the pass age of the bill on Its flnal vote. Senator Carter visited he president to night and assured him that the compromise would b adopted.

The Vollva faction' answer to the' Dotflc bill alleges that Dowle Is mentally unsound, and It Is said this contention form the keynote of the Vollva defense. Dowle recently secured the services of three physicians, . whom ( h instructed to tell him frankly If the slightest trace of Insanity were found.

All this is tending to create an unwhole some excitement among the Moslem popu lation, stimulated also in the mosques by the religious leaders.

ALL MEN MUST BE RESTORED TO PLACES Award of Commission to Continue Until Otherwise Determined. COMMITTEE MEETS OPERATORS MONDAY Convention Takei a Boce Uttil Tuesday to Act on the Bsport. STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT MITCHELL Miners Lender Reviews History af Controversy and Gives Reasons for Apparent Backdown of the I nlon. . FCRANTON. Pa., Mny 5-On the advice of President Mitchell, representing tho sub scale committee, the miners' convention today unanimously voted to adopt the firet proposition of the operators, a continuation of the award of the anthracite coal com mission, with the modification that the term for which it Is to continue shall b mutually agreed upon. The operators' sug gestion was that It should be at lenst three years. The action of the convention, together with a request for a conference on Monday, wa telegraphed by President Mitchell to Chairman George F. Bner of the operators' committee, and an answer was received agreeing to a conference at t o'clock Mon day afternoon at the Jersey Central offices In New York. The only matter to be dis cussed at the conference nre the length of time the wards shall continue' s'nd th provision that there shall be no dlscrlmlnn-' tlon against the men who obeyed the mine workers' suspension order. It Is practically certain thnt the operators will .not accede to ar.y suggestion for a two-year ogree j ment, as that would throw the next confer ence Into a presidential year, and aa th miners will not want a long term agree ment the chances are that a three-year agreement will be eventually entered upon. An Intimation has reached here from Presi dent Baer thnt the operators will not dis criminate against the miners now on' sus pension and the local representatives of the coal companies say the same thing. . It looks, therefore, aa If a strike ' has been averted and the miners will return to work probably on Monday, May 14. Address by Mr. Mitchell. .'In his address to the . convention In pre senting the report of the scale committee Mr. Mitchell said: ... . . , I am In favor of raising the low paid men to the standard of the high paid men. During tha six or seven years that I havo been in the movement In the anthracite region I have learned to know much about conditions here. I want to assure you that I am not at all pleased with the wages or conditions. I believe they should be Im proved. ..' In considering the policy of the organiza tion we mlist cnnwder-lts possibilities. If l were sure a strike would be successful, that you could win; thnt you would stand to gether; 1 would advise you to strike and lay away .from .the mines' until we got better conditions. But from the Informa tion I have received from all-parts of the region 1 am fearful that our people ar not In shape for a strike. 1 know that thers are many among ut ho are not In sympathy with a strike movement. We must retain what we hav rather than lose what w have gained In t( two last strike. In deciding this ouestlon. may I ask you to do It without passion or sentiment, but with duo regard to witat la Desi now. v nai- ever your decision Is, whether It be strike or whether It lie work, I ask you to stand together, accepting without reservation th conclusion of the majority. Mr. Mitchell's .Statement. . At tha close of the convention President Mitchell made the following statement: For several months w hav been endeav oring to negotiate a wage scale and adjust ment of conditions of employment with tn representatives of the coal mining com panies, jjurlng theso negotiations w mo a number of propositions, each of which materially modified our original demands. We did this not because w wer convinced that our original propositions wer unfair or wrong, but purely for th purpos of finding a common ground upon which w could reach an agreement that would aecur and maintain peace In tha anthraclt ooai industry, wa still toe lie ve mat our nrsi proposition was reasonably fair and, not withstanding the modification we have since made In the Interest of peace, and now we ace lace to face with the alterna tive of continuing at work under our former conditions or declaring a si rise, in.tnia crisis your committee recommends th fol lowing policy: First That we agree to work on th basis of the award ot the Anthracite Coal Strlk commission for such period or time aa may be agreed upon mutually between the representatives of th coal mining companies and our seal committee, pro vided that all men who suspended work on April 1 or since that time, or who nave teen dtumlssed because they stated that they would refuse to work II MR.
