PEKING. Nov. .-(.Speclal Cablegram 1o
The Eee.) The conferences on the
institution continue and are still cegerly
discussed outside. All Indications point to
a sharp dlveion between the party of mod
erate progress, represented by the Viceroy
Yuan hhih-kal and tho conservative elder
statesmen, many of whom are Manchus,
whose prerogatives arc threatened. The
situation la full of interest because ofr" the
position of, the Viceroy Yuan Shlh-kal, who
controls trio only effective army, and who.
wielding a power rarely attained by a
Chinese official, has for the first time In
Irtstory entrusted many of the most lu
crative and responsible posts In the metro
politan province to Cantonese educated
Khroed. while every high provincial au
thority who owes his position to the In
fluence of Yuan Bhlh-kal ha a Cuntonese
attached to his staff. In view of the re
markabl clannlshness and cohesion of the
!a.ntonese, the question naturally arises
to what extent are Yuan Shlh-kale pro
teges to bo identified with the political ac
tivities of their fellow provincials In Slnga
IKre. America, Japan and elsewhere
abroad, whose avowed policy la' the expul
sion of the Manchus and the exclusion of
foreign Influence.
Forrlf Office X Better.
While these important conierenccs are
continuing, and while the outspoaen press
la clamoring for every conceivable reform
from compulsory education, the establish
ment of a Parliament and the abolition of
racial distinctions to the suppression of
domestic slavery and eunuchs, and even to
the alteration of dress, no attempt Is be
ing made to Improve the condition of the
Wal-wu-pu, tho Chinese foreign office.
Uroadly speaking, every Internal change
called for by the press Is in the right di
rection, but the 'methods are ' crude and
the achievement so far Is Inconsiderable.
" .Most satisfactory Is the continued exten
sion of western education, for Ignorance Is
the chief danger In China. Greater
knowledge must bring greater security for
the foreigner mid a greater demand for
foreign things. Thus every power A wlll-

recently by an Ignorant and meagre cli

classtjg of all dngreee. the fact that they
have succeeded In producing organs which
are having an enormous Influence on the
evolution of the new China Is another
proof of the untiring patience, persever
eoce and Industry of the Chinese. When
one remembers that only ten years ago
there waa hardly a Chlnece newspaper

a truth wonderful to know that there are

ROME. Nov. 3 (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The alarming news of a
proximate rupture between Spain and the
Holy Bee has recently been bruited abroad
to all the winds of heaven on the wings
of the telegraph.
Now, Count Bonl do Castellane, deputy
of the lower Alps, declares that all this
story of complications between Spain and
the Vatican is a striking example of Inter
national "bluff." The trench government,
he says, had In 1!K4 Judged It advantsgeous
to break oft all relatione with Home. Tho
proceeding followed In these circum
stances was qualified as "historic false
hood," by an eminent republican, and he
had good right to know. "The inoppor
tuneness of thj rupture," says the viscount
do Castellane, "even for the ends which
a minister Inimical to the church proposed
to himself, la indeed fully demonstrated
by the separation law, since It Is the
previous rupture with the Holy Bee which
prevents this lay from entering on lU
course."
Tho French government having com
mitted itself to such a course, is endeavor
ing. It Is claimed, to have It believed by the
whole world that It la not alone In the con
flict with Rome; that all the other Catholic
countries have differences with the head of
the church, and grievances against him;
that even Spain, a nation Catholic above all
else, feels the necessity, since the arrival of
the'llberals to power, of shaking oft the
Intolerablo yoke of the religious power and
of defending themselves from Its Intrusions
In the domain of the civil power.
Reports Sot TTne.
And at tho head of this strango enterprise
they have not hesitated to place the young
king, under whose protection the new niln-
later should develop the movement cf eman
cipating, a they pretend, the Bpanlsn con
aclence. The Viscount Castellane says it would
be Interesting to know, does the Spanish j
government regard there wild stories as so j
much in keening with the conduct of
French ministers, that It Is scarcely worth :
while -attempting to note their abundant
lalrehoona:
The virtuous and respectable .Reuter's
agency gave world-wide circulation to the
French report that- King Alphonso had
signed a decree giving full authority for the
Institution of civil marriage. The Viscount
Castellane declares "such
a decree has;'
never existed."
It was added, beside, that outside of the
question of civil marriage the government
had to preoccupy itself with the reform of I
the Concordat. Now, It Is precisely the
liberals who did not wish to touch the
Concordat. Such arc two, out of several i
specimens of French Inventiveness concern
ing Spain.

I t,iit honor should again be paid to a struo-

Indians and troops will march overland.
This agreement was reached alter a
pow wow of twelve hours. Several times

return and would never agree to return to
Utah. They finally decided to accept the

at the station. Cpon his arrival at tba
depot he Is given a ticket home. None of
these dcmoci-atiu voters have been given
their transportation until they get to the
depot and are ready to get on the train.
One party asked that his transportation be
given him a day In advance of ihu time
he war to go home, but he was refused,
ho man with whom he talke! saying the
committee feared publicity and when he

starboard quarter. One set of the battle
ship's davits, was turned in-board, . while
two of the battleship's 6-Inch and one of
Its S-lnch after guns were raked and prob

more serious than now appears. A survey
