William Jennings Bryn my, r rstled dispatches Indicate the repub licans in tho 'United States are cl-iimlng, have succeeded In splitting- the democratic perty In two, thereby rendering; Imposslhlo hie nomlnntlon and election a president. These things do not concern the ventre Englishman end consequently do not Inter est htm. Rut should he again vlalt Eng land 1n the near future It la safe to say that the prime minister, Campbell Banner man, and the liberal leaders, will give Mr. Hryan the "cold shoulder." No matter what he has done or Is doing to , the democratic party In the l mien States. Mr. Bryan as a "party splitter" must Tie a "wonder." For he has succeeded In "putting" the liberal party In such a fashion that It la questionable whether "C B., ae the prime minister Is familiarly rolled, ran ever unite It again. If the llheril government falls within the nest few months the most powerful Influence, strange os it may seem. In bringing about this result will be the visit of sn American politician Mr. William Jennings Bryan. Vlalt Waa Pleaslna. When Mr. Bryan was In London the liberal government made much of Mm. He was welcomed everywhere at the palace of the king, at the home of John Burns, at the clubs of the Irish member of Parliament, at the country seat of Whltelaw RHd. the American ambassador to Great Britain. Naturally these thing and te fact that he wae discussed by tha newspapers as a presidential possibility, did much to focus public attention upon the Nebraska man. . His speech, undoubt edly clover, certainly splendid bit 'of oratory, at the peace gathering for the sub m lesion of disputes to The Hague or some other impartial international tribunal f6r investigation and report before ine oeciara tlon of war or the beginning of hostilities, as well as bis visit to Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman early In July, rauaed the Tory paper of the empire to declare that a com pact to promote a-universe.! pear Agree ment waa in tho air. Certain It Is, that, friendship u formed between the liberal leader of England and the demoorstto ' leader of America, v,,' , ..' , And yet It appear -to have been Mr. Bryan' late to deal a- blow to Campbell Bannerman, hi new found friend, - more over than over dealt by Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Balfour or any of the great opponent of th liberal party In England. For It so happened that tho labor party was- on the verge of breaking with the liberal paty. 'And It so happened that Mr. Bryan' first aneech at Madison Bquare garden after landing In the United States ba furnished th excuse and th opportunity. Gives Worklnsrmen aa Issaa. gome of Mr. Bryan's friends and ad mirers among the laboritte here In London are Baying that Mr. Bryan himself will not feel badly about this fact that he will not objeot to being regarded aa a "great edu cational force" all over the civilised world. But this view point does not help famDbell-Bannerman and the liberal leader In their present dilemma. Kor Mr. Bryan's American speeches have furnished the worklngmea of England Juat the issue which they ' needed an issue which they did not see and understand themselves until Mr. Bryan railed It to the attention of hla American audiences Scarcely had Mr. Bryan left the Madison Bquare Garden for his home In the western part of the United States before the Trade Union congress. In session at Liver pool, without any discussion, unanimously Instructed the labor member of Parliament to introduce a bill providing for the na tionalising of all railways, canals and mines In the United Kingdom. To understand what thla really means. It must be understood that tho Trade Union congress wields powerful influence over the labor party and -the labor party wields a powerful Influence over the liberal party. When It I also remembered that the mem bers of Parliament are not' paid ssjarles. ss in the United States; When It ie re membered that the trade unions furnish funds liberally for the support of the labor number of parliament. It can readily be seen that such a wish i equivalent to a command. N- .. - Conservatives Alaraied.

Little la Cer tainly Knonn of Govern meat's Plaa. DUBLIN. Sept. 1U. fSpecisI Csblegram to The Bee.) The outlines of moet of Hie schemes for home rule published up1 to the present time deal In glittering generalities. It Is difficult. If not Impossible, for cone- I spt.ndents. either English or Irish, to deal with accomplished facts, for the reason that little or nothing has been really a tied. Very little of the Dublin castle .t has been allowed to transpire. A f toons a eseai nave neen non iu wsy the wind blows, but th' -r i made public may bear no v w5 e to , the ultimate plan. There Is x ety Im portant point on which all fdv.-lats are silent, and that Is that it is proposed to Introduce a nomlnnted element to keep the county council representative straight. The value of any forecast of the Mac donnell scheme may be gauged from the fact that the plans are far from matured, and they will be altered from time to time to secure the adhesion of this or that member of the cabinet. If It Is true, as reported, that two or three Important min isters have declared that they will not go a far aa the earl of Dunraven, then Sir Antony Macdonnell'a pet projects have lit tle or no prospect of success. The meeting of the intonist alliance and the speech of Mr. Walter Long, 1 M. P.. are noteworthy at the present time. Fur better or worse, the alliance repre sents the unionists of Ireland. It has ap pointed Mr. Long Its spokesman. He wae elected by a big majority for the one con stituency outside Ulstpr ; that returns a unionist. ' There are . practically only two parties In Ireland the nationalists snd the unionists. A certain section of unionists, Including Lord Dunraven and some others, have professed themselvee dtssatlKled with the existing condition of Irish govern ment and desirous of some reform. This policy has been called "devolution." The devolutlonlete number some men of consid erable ability, but they are few in num ber. The nationalists have welcomed the movement of the devolutlonlete because their stacks on the existing system sre useful so far as they go, though the rem edy they have proposed Is pronounced not only Inadequate, but futile. The unionists repudiate them. The existing government Is composed mainly of men who have declared them oelve home rulers. The majority In the cabinet have voted for Mr. Gladstones home rule bill. Quite recently Its princl pal members, including the prime mln ister and Mr. Asqulth. publicly declared that home rule was the one effective rem edy for the Irish difficulty. , The proceed ing at th recent meeting of the union let and th speech of Mr. Long go to show that they would oppose with equal vaheroenoe any measure of reform, how ever faltering and feeble. - They are pre pared to oppose devolution aa strongly as home rule. The speech of Mr. Long, as the spokes man of the Irish unionists, I regarded as a warning to the government against fall ing between two stools. It Is a plain dec laration that no watering down of home rule,, however much It may alienate na tionalist support, will in the fslnteet d. tree mitigate unionist hostility. LANDHOLDERS : BILL DISLIKED Appro-Tin the Principle, Seoteh Cob. atttaeaeles Object ta Terms ... el Ptsnitg Bill. GLASGOW. Sept. 22. (Bpeclal Cablegram to Th Bee.) Two public bodies in Scotland have - made- pronouncement on the araall landholders' bill, which was laid before the House of Commons toward the end of the session. Th first, to move was the Banff shire Liberal association. Mr. A. W. Black, the member for Banffshire, told his con stituent that thla wa a splendid bill, that It would apply to J.000 landholder In the county, and so on. The response of th Liberal association was a resolution ap proving the object and principles of th bill, but expressing disapproval of its chief detail, which is the Introduction of dual owneshlp into the land system of the low lands. Now the Aberdeen, Banff and Kin cardine Land Defense association Is avow edly brought Into being by the small land holders1 bill and the land tenure bill. It declares Itself "anxious to co-operate In any Judicious measures directed to pro mote th prosperity of all olasses inter ested in agriculture and to encourage the maintenance and extension of small hold ings on equitable and economical princi ples." But it declares that the two bills mentioned above "contain provisions not only unjust to the lend owners of Scotland, but also subversive of the security of pri vate property and Injurious to the real In terest of aTiculture and to the permanent welfare of the country district."

NEW PLAN CONSIDtKtl) FOR THL FRENCH Pope Said to Be Displeased at Actio ot Papal Secretary ot State la SappresslaS , . Facta. ROME, Sept. ill (Bpeclal Cablegram to The bee.; ine selection of itev. father Vvernx, a Ueiman and the rector of the Gregorian university, as the general of the Jesuits ana the approval by tiie pope ot the choice, Is supposed to herald an era of closer relations between the German government ami the Vatican. Th pres ent kaiser, as Is well known, '-hough a lotestsnt In faith. Is nevertheless ex tremely liberal In dealing with his Cath olic subjects, and during the past year or two haa manifested a dlspoMtlon to rely upon the support of the clericals to repel the advances of the socialists. An interesting story regarding the boy hood of Ffther Wern has Just been pub lished by the Roman newspspers i:d a successful career Is accordingly being pre dicted for him as the general of the Jesuits. According to this story, when a very small child an old gypsy woman pre dicted that he would be greater than king or pope. "There Is the man of the future." she ssld, raising her hand above her head. "He will command men." "Will he be made king of the gypsies?" asked one of her hearers. "He will be more than that," was tbe reply. "Others may be king of the gypsies, but he will be pope of the gypsies." , Conditions In Spnln. A strange and exceedingly unique con dition of affaire la reported from Madrid. It 1 announced that : the king of Spain ia contemplating a visit to the holy father 1n the near future. At the time of hi marriage and because of his well known democratic and liberal tendenclea, to asy nothing of his marriage to Bna, of Batten berg, a Protestant princess, fear war ex pressed her that King Alfonso might grow lukewarm In the faith of hi fathera. On the contrary, according to advice re calved here from Madrid, th young king appear more steadfast In tha Catholic faith than before, while Queen. Victoria, hi royal bride, haa all of the seal of a new convert and is behind the decision of the king to visit the holy father and the holy city. Nevertheless, advices from Spain also In dicate -that -there-, are poselbllltle of a crisis, so far as tha king,' th cabinet and the Cortes are concerned. The chief quea tlon to be solved is the matter of the abo lition of article 11 of the. constitution, which prohibits every external manifests' tlon of non-Catholic cults. It Is laid down In the Concordat of lffil that three relig ious orders shall enjoy certain privileges, while the rest, like associations of a civil character, shall be subject to the common, law. The Concordat, however, is not car ried out, there being In Spain a multi tude of religious orders which enjoy priv ileges and control public education. This Is the actual bone of contention with Rome, because the government wishes to - fix clearly which shall be the three privileged orders and bring the rest under the com mon lew of associations. Moreover, the government desire to secularise the cem eteries and to give greater solemnity to civil marriage, which In reality doea not exist, nine canonical marriage 1 obli gatory for all Spanish Catholic. Government Stands Firm. The Spanish government, according to all accounts, ha decided to give away to tbe Vatican In nothing, and the Papal Nuncio, who ha seen, tbe danger, has recouae to the accustomed delays of Vatican diplomacy. These, he says, are matters which It Is not within his province to decide; they must be negoti ated direct with the Vatican. In thla manner he' gain time, while the clericals In Spain hope to see the return to power of the conservative party, whose leader. Senor Maura, would respect the status quo. Some persons opine that, in the event of a crisis arising, .It will be resolved In a eens even more rsdicsl, the crown call ing upon Renor Canalejaa, who is the leader of the extreme democratic-radical left, an off-shoot of the republican ramp. This party advocates extreme measures with Rome, even to the extent of a denuncia tion of the Concordat, which they regard aa quite out of date. Here in Rome It Is bellevM the government Is really mark ing time, and when the proper moment ar rives King Alfonro will aupport the policy of the liberals. General Lopes Domlnques, Senor Canalejaa and Senor Gullon all tay the government maintains an energetic attitude. Senor Amallo Jlineno. minister of public Instruction, is studying the problem In Its educational aspect. Is pre paring legal measures for restricting tha facilities which the congregations at present possess for founding Schools and colleges. Before leaving Madrid the Conde de Romanoues stated that as minis ter of grace and Justice he wss disposed to resign rather than give wsy. He added that ha would make a cabinet question of the matter of civil marriage. ' Am 1 French Sltnatlaa. Another remarkable and Interesting story regarding the relations existing be tween the Vatican and France has Just been printed here. According to this state ment It haa been learned from au Italian personage of blah (landing that Cardinal Merry del Val. the secretary of state at the Vatican, will shortly be replaced by a prelat more conciliatory to France. Tbe reason for the cardinal having fallen Into disfavor was as follows; Hi emi nence did not submit to th pope an au thentic report of the meeting of the French bishops, but only a very lncom plete one, and It was upon this report that Plus X. baaed hi wall known pronounce ment. It wa since he bad realised th niUttake which he had been led to mak that lb pop thought of replacing Card I nal Merry dl Val. - There 1 no suggestion that this will lead to any marked charge n the strained relations existing between France and the Vatican, but the suggestion Is made (hat greater care will be exercised in tho Continued on Second Page) ALPINE ACCIDENTS FREQUENT la One af Latest, Wan In Desperate Straits Is Only Dir. vlvar. GENEVA, Sept. It. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) One of the most thrilling In cidents In the season' .Alpine climbing h cost the life of a Genoa n school teacher, who ws attempting the ascent of the Welssespliie. Herr Overbck of A!x-li-Chspell and If err Ktieppers of Bonn, both school teachers, set out to make the climb with out the aid of guides, snd sll went well until they came to an Ice bridge. Herr Kuepppr got over safely, but as Herr Overbeck was crossing, the bridge gave way and Herr Overbeck was pre cipitated into the crevasse, hanging from the rope attached to his friend's waist. Herr Kueppers had neither the eupport nor the strength to draw his friend to safety, and after many futile attempts had been made Herr Overbeck begged him to cut the rope, trusting to chance that he himself might survive the fall, while Herr Kueppers could hasten for aid. Finally Herr Kueppers cut the rope and Herr Overbeck fell. Herr Kueppers groped his wsy to ssfety and told the mountain- eere of this plight of his friend. A relief expedition found Herr Over- beck's body at the bottom of the crevasse next morning. He had, after his fall, cut step almost to the top of the peak, and then, with ssfety only a few feet away, he slipped, and, falling to the bot tom, was Itllled. So msny accidents sre occurring In the Alps that it Is impossible to keep count of them. The area test number cf victims are Swiss, and next come Germans, Ital ians and Austrlans. British climbers have cecaped so far this season with two killed and four Injured. AFGHAN SURVIVOR IS DEAD Anther of Areoant of .Massacre of Kayher Pasa Dlea la Bir mingham. LONDON. Sept. 22. (Specla Cablegram to Th Hee.) A glorious page of military history is recalled by the death which oc curred at his daughter's residence, at Edgbaston, Birmingham, of Colour-Ser geant Edward Zeer, of th Somereat Light infantry. Zeer, who wa 89 year of e wa the last survivor of the British force, which withstood a six months' siege st Jetlalabad during the first Afghan war 4n IMS. He wa the sentry who challenged Dr. Bry don, th only survivor of Gehsral Elphln ton' force, which, while on the way to the relief of the garrison, was massacred in the Khyber Pass. Dr. Brydone reached that city exhausted and emaciated, and suggested to Lady. Butler . her famous picture, "Th Remnant of an Army." Zeer wrote a little booklet of the siege fipm a diary, and In thle he gives a vivid picture of the historic dash for liberty made by th garrison Iq the desd of night, and how the Afghans were taken unawaree and com pletely routed. He was one of those also who discovered the body of General Elphln ton and the skeleton of his massacred force. "What a acme of death,'! he write: "I can only refer yc to the thirty-seventh chapter , of Eeeklel lor a description.

HARD KNOT IN CUBA Situation in tha Island Feoominr Mora Acuta Etch Day. POSITION OF UNITED STATES DELICATE May Mot Permit Temporary Bett'ement by Falma'i Resignation. PERMANENT PEACE IN ISLAND DEMANDED Two Views of Ernies and RUhti o'f Booie- Telt in th matter. ONE HOLDS INTERVENTION NECESSARY Jadge Advocate Geaeral Davis Polats Oat Aathorlty Granted In th Treaty Made with Cabaa Rrpnblle. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Sept. St -(Special Tele gram.) The eltu:Ulon In (Viba today, ac cording to private dispatches, Is more acute than at any time since Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary Bacon arrived In Havana. Reports other than Associated Press would seem to Indicate that the Pnlma government will resign as the first step toward bringing about peace between the conflicting political Interest in the Island. The question arises, however", whether the Intermediaries on the part of the United States would permit of this action, In view of the fact that a stable government ss contemplated In the Piatt amendment would In the very nature of things be abrogated and that In order to treat with the lnsurrectos Messrs Taft and Bacon would have to proceed upon new and unexpected proposition. As a result of the presence of a formidable fleet in Cuban waters, and the landing of marines at both Havana and Clcnfuegos, snd subsequently withdrawn for the pur poses of mediation on the part of the United States authorities in the person of Secretary Taft of the War department and Asslstsnt Secretary Bacon of the State department, heads of departments here, as well ss legislators and lawyers In town. have begun a serious discussion, whether Intervention means the acquisition of th Island of Cuba. Two Divergent Vie Already' two campa In the United State have been formed, one Instating that Inter ventlon means only policing ot the Island until such time aa the various political parties In the Islsnd may agree upon hon orable term of suffrage, and the other be' lieving thatvlnterventlon means acquisition of th territory aa a part of the United State. Another question primarily has been Injected In the political equation, whether the president or congress hss the power of Intervention. 'Article III of the tresty of 1904 between Cuba and the United State stipulates thit the government of Cuba consent that the United State may xercls the right to Intervene for the preservation of Cuban Independence, etc while vpder th constitution th president 1 given authority to do certain thing In the abseno of congress, txoept to declare war, etc. v There are those who contend tbe pre dent. In view of th wording of article 111 ot the treaty between Cuba and the Untted Slates, has not the power to Intervene be tween the conflicting intereet unless di rected so to do by congress In session. The consensus of opinion, however, in Wash ington Is the president was wholly within hi right when he ordered' the representa tive of the government, Messrs. Taft and Bacon, to repslr to Cuba for th purpose of acting a arbitrator between the con Dieting political interest there and should their mission fall he would be warranted In throwing an armed force Into Cuba to protect American Interests and that should that be found Impossible, to estab lish a protectorate. Judge Advocate General Davis In dis cussing th probable outcome of the situa tion In Cuba, said today that It now looked very much a though an armed force would have to be thrown Into the island to preserve peace. He is of the opinion that this Is the only course open to the president and furthermore that it la hi bounden duty under existing law to Inter vene, as established byt the treaty pro claimed July I. 1M. 1 Basis af the Opinion. ' . Article 111 of this treaty atlpulates that "the government of Cuba consents that the United States may exercise the right to Intervene for the preservation of Cuban Independence, maintenance of a govern ment adequate for the protection of life and property, and Individual llbttrty and for discharging the obligations with re spect to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United States, now to be as sumed and undertaken by the government of Cuba." General Davis contends that this gives the president direct authority to Intervene to settle the difficulties which have arisen among the Cubana and to send an armed force to occupy the Island for the preser vatlon of law and order. Congress, however, in a Joint resolution signed In April, 1198, for the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, in section 4 of that resolution used this lsngusge: "That the United States hereoy disclaims any disposition or Intention to exercise sovereignty, Jurisdiction or con trol over said Island except for the pacifi cation thereof and assents its determina tion when that Is accomplished to leave th government and control of the Island to Its people. Judge Advocate General Davis said that under section I of the treaty above re ferred to President Roosevelt need' not consult congress iu the matter of inter vening In Cuba. He is clear on that polut and insist that the landing of an armed force In Cuba could not b construed a a declaration of war. Under tbe constitu tion only congress can declare war, but In this Instance the United Slates Is only fulfilling ita treaty obligation to inter - vena to aid a sister republic In restoring n...p.l fuvl. r 1 1 C.1 iIl in 1177 the governor . of Pennsylvania called upon the president of the United States to aid him In suppression of riots at Pittsburg and that In llkl United State troops were called out to quell dlsturo anoes in Chicago,- incident to th great strike of that year.
