Japanese newspspere In discussing the speeches made at the banquet given by the officers' of the Seventh Siberian corps in honor of the return to St. Petersburg ot General Rennenkampf are unusually bitter.

July Sl.-(8reclal Cablegram to Tha Bee. I Two years ago the eccentric Countess Adela Ratlhany died in the Mer chants hospital at Budapest. She was one ot the wealthiest and most highly connected women of the land, but after her husband s death she became e miser and lived in complete retirement. When she became 111 she assumed the tiame of her own maid and obtained ad mission to the hosnltal. It waa only after her death that her Identity was discovered, end that she had entailed ever SJOO.uOO worth of property In her husband's family. The validity of the will was attacked by her next of kin. Prince Odescalcht. Count O'Donnel and Gutav Tarnocay, on the ground that a woman cannot set up an entail out of her own family. The Curie, the highest court of appeal In the country, haa now eel aside the will and ordered the state to be divided among the three CONTEST OVER ,rt,r'T TIT' E I Lord Mowbray Wo.M re - - Norfolk Descendant of Plantageaet. LONDON. July 21. (Special Cablegram to The Dee.) A great struggle for the title of the earldom of Norfolk has begun In the H'use ot Lords. A blu.-eyed man, with fair Saxon hair anj a pale fnce, sat alone on one of the deserted benches of the House of L.orJs when the case came up. He was watching keenly and with a shade of anxiety the black-gowned Sir Robert Klnlay, who stood addressing the nine peers who compilse the committee for privileges of the House of Lords. This solitary man was Charles Botolph Joseph, Lord Mowbray. Baron Segrave, Baron and Lord Btourton. He is the no bleman wh- claims still another title, that of earl of Norfolk. He, therefore, demands to be declared the royal marshsl of Eng land and premier earl of Great Britain. This office, however. Is distinct front the office of hereditary grand marshal of Kng land. which wue granted by special patent to the duke of Norfolk. Except for him the scuts of the peers of the realm were deserted. Even the duke of Norfolk, who Is fighting the younger noble's claim, was not present. The glided mace lay restfully In front of the royal throne. In a chair behind a plain table was the chairman the earl of Ons low. He wore a large red rose, and a gray stilt, such as he might have worn In his club. On either side of him were ranged the men upon whose judgment the verdict hangs. They were a lot of distinguished, vener able men. Lord Halshury, ex-lord chan cellor, was there. Supporting him were Lord Ashbourne, the keen and sharp-witted Irish lawyer; Lord James of Hereford, Lord Davey and Lord Robertson. The re maining members of the committee were Lords Knutsford. Liverpool and Dum boyne. Thy were not in robes, but In ordinary dress. By the side of Sir Robert Flnlay. who faced a raised and convenient desk, sat Sir J. I,awson Walton, the attorney gen eral, to look after the Interests' of the crown. I,ord Robert Cecil and Mr. Warm Ington represented the duke of Norfolk. In his speech, which lasted for more than three hours. Sir Robert Flnlay told of Arls' and duties of Norfolk who had been attainted and banished. Even the stern law lords looked sympathetic when they heard of one beirer of the proud title who. at the age of 19 years, was beheaded for treasonable malpractices. The history of the earldom runs far back to the reign of the first Edward. It was then "surrendered" by one Robert Blgod, and a new creation under the same title was Immediately made by the klnv In favor of his half-brother. Thomas Planto genet de Bretherton. "A surrender of a peerage was not at this time unconstitu tional." declared Sir Robert, though It la now held that peerages cannot be resigned or relinquished or forfeited ssve by at tainder. The old earldom was never for feited by attainder. There are now three who claim descent from Thomas Plantagcnet Lord , Petre, Baroness Berkeley and Lord Mowhrny. scendsnt of the older line. Most of the documents in tha case are In Norman-Latin. Several phrases "reeled off with amusing rapidity by Sir Robert were bluntly characterised by Lord Hals bury as "bad grammar." and In oa or two Instances they were frankly e. Jned as "meaning nothing and Indeterrr" nle." " ........ ami a wnjr A M..I.U T . - . V. garet st-pped cut of the fourteenth eentury to play their rart In this strange battle of the twentieth. "Edward Pororls Mar- garetse," said Sir Robert gravely, as he read from pages of petitions and Inqulal tlons.

NORWEGIAN SCULPTOR VISITS THE POPE Who Created Statuette of Leo Presents One to Plna and Receives ftlft of Medal. ROME, July 21. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) The pope, who now takes his regular dally walk in the Vatican gardens, Is In excellent health and continues to give audiences every day, both private and public. The most Important of these are, by the Very nature of things, those given to cardinals, bishops and other eccle siastics who are connected with the sacred congregations In which the manifold busi ness involved In the direction of the church at Rome and throughout the world Is ac complished. Miss Helen Gould and In fact the entire Gould family, have been somewhat an noyed by tha reports widely cliculated to the effect that Miss Gould hud been granted an audience by tha pope and that she had attempted to Influence his holiness In the mutter of the securing of a divorce for her ulster, Anna, the Countess de Castellane. '1 he absurdity of the situation is demon strated by the fact, for It Is a fact, that Miss Heien Gould has never left France. 'J he Helen Gould who was presented to the pope was her little niece. Miss Helen Vivian Gould, and the presentation oc curred at the time that her parents, Mr. arjd Mrs. George J.-Gould, vislied the Vati can. ihe arohlbshop of New York, who was much visited by a lutge numoer of eccle niastKs and laity ut Florence, in Germany and Bavaria, lias been examining the stained glass of these countries, in oraer to select that which will best suit the new Chanel recently auded to the cathedral of sew Xoik.

He is the creator of that charming little colored statuette in terra-cotta rep resenting Io X1U seated on the pontitlcal throne. The little work was charming and was much sought after, fur it wus no leas a work of art than It was excellent as a likeness. Now he has presented to 1'ius X a similar statuette representing the present pontiff. In this case, however, the pope Is not seated On the throne; he la kneeling In prayer at the faldstool. This position Is chosen as being better fitted. In an artistic point of view, for the representation of the person ot Plus X, who, as Is well known, has not the i-pare, almost diaphanous figure of Deo XIII, but resembles more nearly the full stout figure of Plus IX. The sculptor has had recent opportunity, when the pope was kneeling at prayer In St. Peter'a dur ing the veneration of the relics of the lately beatfied, of studying his outline and features and expression. Plus X himself Is pleased with It, and declared It very good, in the audience which he accorded to Slg- nor Ierche, and In which he gave lilm an admirable French medal In silver rep resenting him.

July 21. -(Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Amaxlng revrla lions have Just been msd In Dublin by lr. gtarkle, oom mlsfioner of education In Natal, before the commission of Inquiry Icto the working of the Department of Agriculture. He said the extraordinary tda pieisesse the au thorities that a male .eacher was best fitted to teach Infants, 'and a man was compelled to teach ac host of children vary. lng in age from 3 to 15.

The Depart ment of Agriculture w hen formed found two classes of schools," Vnown aa school farms and school gardens. In the former children were taught to dig In a mechanical manner and in the olh.r plant flowers. He generally found in rural schools the teachers knew little -more of their subject than the pupils. They called everything vegetable a bush. In Ireland the grant for education had been left to the tender mercies of politi cians, unlike the cases of England and Scotland, and had been devoted to the use of a land bill, purchase of dredgers and harbor construction. Now they were not able to build a school In I--eland, the con dition of the existing echools was a scandal to the government. When he saw the re ports of inspectors he felt ashamed of his country. Thy were in an abominable state of degradation. Mr. Wyndham, he added, might go down to history as a great benefactor and land feformer. but he would certainly go down to history us one who hod stopped the wheels of the development of education In Irelsnd for a generation. The grants In connection .'with the building of schools had been stopped since last August. 1 INTERNATIONAL FRAUD CAUGHT Harry Rothgerber, with. American Record Is Sentenced for Theft In London.

MILK DIETJS EFFECTIVE Scotch Boy Surprises Physicians by Living for Veara Without Solid Food. GLASGOW, July 21. -(Special Cablegram to The Bee.) The discussion concerning milk as a health food has been given a queer turn here. A case has Just come under the observation of the local physi cians and It Is snld there Is only one sim ilar case on record that of a 6-year-old girl living In Montlcello. Va. The case Is that of a boy living at Penarth, who has existed entirely on miik since his birth six years ago His name Is Arthur Keene. He lives with his mother and father and lie Is one of four children. He will not tske anything but milk. The choicest morsels of food have been offered him, but he refuses to be coaxed away from his milk diet. On one occasion his mother forced food down his throat, but It made him 111 at once and he asked for milk. His diet each week constats of thirty pints of milk mixed with sugar and water, which la by no means an excessive quantity, for even a 12-months-old Infant. Yet In spite of this scanty and monot onous diet, the boy Is fully developed, ot normal size and of good weight. He Is In clined to be a bit rickety and is rather ner vous. He attends Penarth Council school and is of a most cheerful disposition. They have carefully examined him and they con fess that the case ba flits them completely.

WASHINGTON, July 21. - Baron Rio Branco, tne Brazilian minister for foreign affairs, advised the Brailllan , charge In this city, Mr. Gurgel de Amarali by cable today that the third pan-American coher ence at Rio Janeiro will be formally opened at S o'clock Monday evening, July 23. The opening was to have been today, but be cause of the lateness of the steamer Byron, which carried the American delegation and the representatives of a number of other countries. It is assumed that the delay of two days was thought necessary. In his dispatch to the embassy In this city Baron Rio Branco said great prepara tions are being made for the reception of Secretary Root, who is expected Jn Rio Janeiro on July' 2B. Several thousands of Brailllan students will lead the demonstra tion In honor of the American secretary of state. The president's palace In Petropolls, the summer capltol In the mountains near Rio Janeiro, will be at Mr. Root's dis posal and while In Rio Janeiro he will be entertained In the famous Abrantee palace, which is the most historic building In the republic. It belonged to Joao VI of Por tugal, before the Independence ot Brazil and waa occupied by Dom Pedro VI, em peror of Brazil. State department officials and members of the diplomatic corps who are still In Washington expressed pleasure today at the delay ln(the opening of the pan-American conference as the full conditions of the peace agreement in Central America are now fully known and the Rio confer ence will open with absolute peace prevail ing throughout this continent. . Important Subjects on Program. The third Panamerican conference opens under the most promising auspices, with the purpose of considering a program fully equal In Importance to that which was laid before any ot the preceding gatherings. Injected Into this program, after It bad been practically completed at a preliminary meeting of an international committee held in Washington last winter, waa one article Iv that la perhaps likely to give rise "to more controversy and excite more feeling and be generally of greater importance than ay.WAftt luu... Tli A, gwcjy;u-lhe. In teresting Drago doctrine, itself an out growth of Dr. Calvo's famous dictum, in volving the right of a nation to use force In the collection from other nations of pub lie debts. In the program this takes tha form of the proposition to allow The Hague conference to determine this Important question, and as many of the South Ameri can debtor nations are bitterly opposed to allowing the creditor nations of Europe to p tss upon this vital doctrine, a bitter dis cussion Is expected when the subject comes before the third conference. Reorganization of the Bureau ot Ameri can Republics so as to greatly enlarge the usefulness of that institution Is the very first article ot the program. It Is pro posed to erect a magnificent building In Washington tor Its accommodation, to open a commercial museum in connection therewith, and, a suggestion based largely upon Latin-American suspicion, to limit the life ot the bureau to a ten-year period. Arbitration of Dlapntee. A strong effort is to be made to bring about unanimous action of the American republic to agree to settle by arbitration c 11 future disputes arising between them and to endeavor to have the approaching Hague conference apply this principle gen erally to the nations of the world. The United States and several other American republics were signatories to a treaty pro viding for the arbitration of pecuniary clalma alone. This was an outgrowth of the Mexican conference and promises well. so the Rio' conference is to be asked to extend Its operations for another five-year period. An almost Impossible task is to be set for a committee of Jurists of high repute, who are charged with the duty of drafting "a code of public International law and pri vate international law," for this la by no means an exact science at the present mo ment and the greatest variance exists be tween the different schools ot International lawyers. Still It Is hoped that If the com plete code cannot be secured, at least agree ment may be had upqn aome useful princi ples of international law. The conference is to endeavor to limit the period It la suggested to two years within which a naturalised citizen may re main in the country of his nativity without forfeiting his naturalization. Latin-America has alwaya been Jealous of these re turned citizens and they have given the United Statee much trouble, so that the subject Is even now being considered by a special board, meeting at the State depart ment In Washington. Development of commercial Intercourse between the American republics engaged the attention of the first and second con ferences and was left as a legacy to this meeting. It will endeavor to Increase rapid communication by additional cable and telegraph lines and fast mall lines; new commerclsl treaties are to be proposed and commercial and Industrial statistics are to be freely exchanged. Sanitation and Health. An effort is to be made to bring lnV unl formlty the customs and consular laws; en effort la to be made to secure uniform patent and trade-mark and copyright lawa, and the Panamerican project is to be pushed forward. Present regulations and laws make It impossible In many Instances for physicians, lawyers and dentiats to practice their professions outside of their native country, and aome uniformity of practice In this respect will be sought. Finally, consideration will be given to the saiiltary convention signed ad referendum In Washington a few years ago, a subject of growing Importance In view of the necessity of protecting the projected Pan ama canal from yellow fever carried on shipping from the tropical regions of Cen tral and South America. It haa been arranged that this third eon- a ference shsll. be held In the building nrig Inally erected by the Brazilian government at tha 8u Lpuls exposition, which waa re- . vnLUawe4 oa Second Page.J THE BEE BULLETIN.

NEW ELECTION WRITS WILL BE ISSUED Ukase Ears Next Session Will Ba Convoked March 5, 1907. TERN MEASURES TO PRESERVE ORDER State of Extraordinary Security Proclaimed in Bt Petersburg. WAITING FOR COMING STORM TO BREAK Military Will Probably Take Posses. alon of Tnurlde Palace Talk of Attempt to Continue Sessions. ST. PETERSBURG. July 13.-Russi'e first experiment in parliamentary govern ment came to an Ignominious end tonight with the promulgation ef two Imperial ukases, the first dissolving , the present Parliament and providing for the convo cation of its successor on March 6. 1S07, more than six months hence, and the sec ond proclaiming the capital of Russia and the surrounding province to be in a state of extraordinary security, which la only Infinltealmally different from full martial law. This measure of safety Is to pro vide for the outbursts which undoubtedly will be provoked by this daring measure. It la now but a step to dictatorship. Tha texts of the two ukaees, both of which are addressed In the stereotyped form to the ruling Senate, are aa follows: According to paragraph 106 of the funda mental law we order the Imperial Parlia ment dissolved and fix the time for the convocation of the newly elected Parliament lor Marcn e, twr,. Regarding the time for the new elections to the Imperial Parliament we will later Issue special Indications. Tne ruling rienate win not ran to tune proper measures to place this Into effect. (Bignea) inii.iiul.ab. Peterhof, July 21. The text of the second ukase follows: In consideration if a report of the coun cil of ministers presented to us regarding the necessity in the future for the preserva tion of order and public safety in the city and province of St. Petersburg, we con sider it necessary to declare In the above city and province, instead of the state of reinforced security which now prevails there, a state or extraordinary security. The prefect of the city and the governor of the province are Intrusted with the rights thereto appertaining. The ruling senate win not rail to take proper measurea to place this Into effect. (Bigneel) MUMULAB. Peterhof, July 71. With these pithy, but momentous, orders. which were promulgated at 8 o'clock this morning, Emperor Nicholas by a stroke of the pen set Russia back: to where It stood two years ago. In the full grip of the au tocracy and Irresponsible government, wip ing out for six months at least the whole structure of Parliament erected at such cost. . There Is little doubt that the order for convocation, of the new assembly will still further postpone the time, unless the new ' Parliament promises to be more amenable than the present. Talk of Universal Saffrnge. The delay In fixing the time for the new elections seems to Indicate a decision to change the present basis of suffrage to perhaps a basis of universal suffrage, with which the advisers of the emperor hope to swamp the educated liberals, the socialists and the workmen with the vast mass of the peasantry. The only uncertainty Is the coming storm when and where It will break. The advocates of the "mailed fist" believe that by dissolving Parliament and provoking a collision now they will find the revolutionary leaders not prepared for an uprising, as at Moscow, whereas further delay would merely give the revolutionists the time needed to organize and to conlinut corruption of the army. There are no precedents In Russian his tory for the execution of en order of pro rogation, but Mo'nday probably will find the Taurlde palace In the possession of the military and the surrounding streets held by the emperor's guards. The constitutional democratic, caucus ad journed before the news of the dissolution of Parliament was received, but the Infor mation already has reached the leaders of the party. The Associated Press Is Informed that a meeting has been summoned for today to dlscusx procedure and whether they shall attempt, like the French third estate, to continue existence aala revolting Jody In defiance of the sovereign li s will. Conference at Peterhof Palace. ST. PETERSBURG. July O.-Aa the week closes the dissolution ot Parliament, with all the grave possibilities Involved In such an event. Is staring the country In the face. The emperor, discouraged by his failure to form a coalition ministry and the distinctly revolutionary paths which Parliament haa chosen, has apparently been persuaded to risk a final appeal from Parliament to the people, or. In other words, to dissolve Parliament and order new elec tions on the basis of universal suffrage. It la positively asserted that Thursday an imperial ukaaa authorizing the dissolu tion of Parliament was actually signed and was to be enforced today, but yesterday. In view of the manifest efforts of the con stitutional democrats to nullify the effect of their action, the execution ot the ukase was postponed. Tonight, however, it Is learned that the delay did not mean the abandonment of the decision to dissolve Parliament and that a final, momentous conference on the aub Ject is being held at Peterhof. Exactly who la present c.innot be learned, but it is understood trutt the grand dukes. General Trepoff and other court oltlclala and one or two ministers are at the palace. Riot and Bloodshed Expected. Evidently the government is not blind to the fact that the dissolution of Parlia ment will be accompanied by tremendous ! excitement, licls and bloodshed.
