STATE SECRETS GIVEN OUT Reams for Aaatrla'a Veto of Election Of Cardlaat Ram poll as . Fope. ROME, Feb. M. Prima Levi, who was secretary to the late Premier Crlapt, adds to the memoirs of the late Prince Hohen lohe by publishing letters written by Card inal Hohenlohe, a brother of the chancellor, who lived In Rome. From those letters It appears that Cardinal Hohenlohe suspected the Jesuits had tried to poison him because he was too liberal in endeavoring through his Intimacy among ' leading statesmen. chiefly with Crispl, to bring about an under tandinv between the Vatican , and the Cardinal Hohenlohe, on June 24, 1885, rote Pope Leo, saying: "God has ar ranged things so that the church cannot retake the temporal power. The salvation of souls demands that we submit and re main tranquil In the ecclesiastic sphere." . The pope's departure from Jtaly was Spoken of owing to friction over the monu ment to Giordano Bruno, the philosopher who was burned at the stake In the Campo del Flort at Rome as a heretic. Cardinal Hohenlohe wrote to Pope Leo: "Crispl has . asked me to Inform you that If you wish to leave he will not oppose It, and will have you accompanied with all honors, but that your holiness will never be allowed to re turn to Rome." Cardinal Hohenlohe also discussed with Crispl and Foreign Minister Blano the best way In case of a conclave to prevent the election of Cardinal Rampolla as pope. Italy, It was contended In this discussion, could not act without appearing to mini mise ths spiritual sovereignty and Inde pendence of the church, neither could Germany, because It was a Protestant power, and Austria alone was in a po sition to act. Blano drew up a memorial which Cardinal Hohenlohe sent to his brother, who was then the German chan cellor and this memorial probably was the orlrln of the Austrian veto of Cardinal Rampolla at the last conclave.

ELECTIONS IN RUSSIAN CITIES Belief that Oppoaltfoa to Cabinet Has Bees Successful in "Most , Cases. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 10. Elections were held today 1A nine large cities (Mos cow, Odessa, Tlflls, Kasan, Vllna, Yekater lnoalav, Astrakhan, Kishinev and Yarastav) of the twenty-four which send members di rect to Parliament Moscow having four members and the other cities one each In accordance with -Russian Ideas the counting of the votes has been postponed until tomorrow and definite results of the elections are unknown, but the Indications everywhere sire of a" victory for the dpposl Uon. In several cities, notably Moscow, the question Is whether, the election has been carried by the constitutional demo crats or the socialists. The chances of the socialists In Moscow are "favored by the results of the workmen's elections. In which nineteen social democrats were chosen. Elections of peasants, land owners and workmen were also held today In several provinces, but no resutts have been received that change the forecast sent In these dis patches last night, the figures of which aro confirmed by the statistics showing oppo sition victories. The Regg, the constitu tional democratic organ, claims 106 seats In European Russia, not counting four In Rostov-on-Don City, seml-Patlnlnskl, Turglnl and Astrakhan, which were In cluded In the forecast of the Associated Press. In spite of the evident orpoeltion char acter of Parliament, Premier Stolypln .Is quoted as saying that he hopes to nurse along until summer before a dissolution Is necessary, but general opinion Is that the constitutional democrats will be unable to hold their radical colleagues in check and that ths new parliament's life will not ex ceed two months. The expectation that the dissolution of parliament would be followed by a change In election law is denied by Premier Stolypln, who says he believes this would be unconstitutional. MOSCOW, Feb. 10. The elections today were a struggle between the constitutional democrats and socialists and the probabil ity Is that neither party secured an abso lute majority. Btrong forces of police were messed In the vicinity of the polls and all agitation was suppressed. As a result of these measures the police stations were Jammed with agitators before noon. There were mounted patrols In all the streets, but despite this there were frequent collisions between conservative and radical voters. Nobody was seriously Injured.

FAREWELL AFTER TWELVE YEARS' SERVICE eaato to Vote oa the Twentieth on the Basoot Case Oplaloa Prevails lie Will Bo Allowed to Retain His Boat. (From a Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. (Special.) There have been times In the past when the house of representatives has gone wild with applause, but on these occasions the outbreak usually has been confined to one side or the other. The outbreak whlctt greeted Representative James W. Wads worth on Wednesday last, when he de livered his "valedictory" waa unique in that every man on the Boor, democrats ss well as republicans, without a single ex ception. Joined In the remarkable demon stration. It was at the conclusion of the consider ation of the agricultural appropriation bill. measure of which Mr. Wadsworth tins had charge every year for the past twelve sessions, that he addressed the house upon the subject of the meat inspection clauses of the bill of last year. His object was to show to his associates by the testimony of the authorities of the Department of Agri culture that the measure as framed by Mr. Wadsworth and his committee last spring had accomplished exactly what the administration. Senator Beverldge and the people wanted. It has provided a com plete and perfect Inspection of meat food products and has restored the confidence of the consumer in the cleanliness and purity of the meats which he purchases. Mr. Wadsworth probably will not again have occasion to address the house during the four weeks which he will remain a member. His closing speech was a well considered, dignified defense of the com mittee over which he has presided so well for twelve years snd as such met with the cordial and hearty approval of every man on tnt noor. it was a remaraaoie ovation to an outgoing member; an ap preciation of a man who has the good will of every one' of his associates. Nothing demonstrates the growth of the United States better than the enormous In crease In the annual appropriations for the Department of Agriculture during the last twelve years, the period covered by Mr. Wadsworth's Incumbency of the chairman ship of the committee on agriculture. The total amount carried by the bill In the first year of his service as chairman was ap proximately three and a quarter millions. while the budget for the fiscal year of 1908 In all amounts to upwards of twelve minions, or nearly 400 per cent Increase in twelve years. Vote oa 8 moot Fi On the 20th of the current month the United States senate will take final action on the case of Senator. Reed 8moot of Utah, and on that date It Is expected that the senate will give the Utah .senator a clear title to the seat which ho has oc cupled for four years. Never before In the history of the United State senate, has there been a similar can Senator ..Emoot took the oath of. office during the special session of the senate In 1903. A protest was filed and the committee on privileges and elections decided to enquire Into his right to retain his seat. They examined a num ber of witnesses during the following De cember and "closed the case for the pros ecution" a day or two before Christmas. Chairman Burrows gave Mr. Smoot until the 10 of January following 0904) to pre pare and present his side. Senator Bur rows announced that the committee waa determined to secure a vote by the senate during the then current session. .But no attempt has since been mode to get an ex- presslon of the senate Itself upon the points at Issue until last week when Senator Bur rows asked that February SO be fixed as the date for the final vote. j Uw Favors ronarreaamea. Res-Inning March 4 the salary of a senator will be tl.Vti a year, anil at the same time the members of the house of representa tives will draw 89.000, or 81,600 each more than senators. This peculiar condition arises from the clause in the appropria tion bill which provides that each member, not chairman' of a oonynlttee, may draw 8125 each month for clet cal assistance. In the senate each senator has the privilege of appointing a aecretary, .who. Is paid, upon signing the pay roll, by the disburs ing officer of the upper house. Up to the present time, and for the last ten years, representatives have been permitted to draw 8100 each month after signing a cer tificate tn which he declared that he had paid or had agreed to pay that sum for clerical help. Under the new law no such certificate Is required, and If a member can get a 'clerk for 83 or 850 per month and many of them don't pay even that much-hs Is from 87S to 8100 per month ahead. ' It la estimated that fully 10 per cent of the membership of the house have so little to do that they require no clerks, but no one la expected to refrain from drawing 81,600 each year tor that reason. The Item for clerical assistance went through without much discussion none at all In the senate and It probably will result In an amendment to the law In the near future which will require the names of all congressional clerks to be placed on the roll. Just like messengers, commit tee clerks and doorkeepers. Battleship for a Tara-et. Efforts have been made during the last few weeks to Indue the committee on naval affairs to adopt a new Invention In the way of explosive sheila Briefly, the Invention might be described as an aerial shall loaded with dynamite. The idea Is to send a charge of the highest known explosive against the protected side of an armored vessel and explode It on the out side. It Is claimed by the Inventor that the explosion of a large charge of dyna mite against armor plate, no matter how thick, would result In shattering the pro- ! : . , ... ,u" I tectlve belt, as well as the side of the ... vessel Itself.

According to the comptroller's statement, more than 85.000,000 worth of the stamps have been destroyed either In process of manufacture or by actual burning, without adequate record or supervision In the two years since the act was passed and there Is only the personal word of a single clerk, salaried at 82.500 and not under bond, to certify to the fact that they were destroyed at alL The stamps were printed by Quayle ft Son of this city. The plates were In the custody of the comptroller's representative and each day were delivered to Quayle. The paper first used was of an ordinary commercial sort, which Comp troller Glynn said waa stored In the Quayle shop under an ordinary lock In an ordinary room, and while thet sheets were counted out before printing I there was no safe guard to prevent tlr being abstracted.

"When the new paper, which was to defy counterfeiting, came, to hand," said the comptroller, "It received no better safe guard, but was left In the Quayle shop. And the comptroller s seal with which the bundles were sealed waa apparently as carelessly treated." ! A statement was made to him by Wat kins, the comptroller, he said, adding: "He says that early In "October he took all that remained of the old Issue of stamps from the vaults dowa to Quayle's shop In Green street, boxed them up and they re mained there without guard or watchman at least one night The safe deposit people say, however, they were not returned until December 2. "There were over $2,000,000 In this lot, $1.2B,m which had been returned by the Bank of Manhattan, the official distributors of the stamps, and 81.027,896 which had never been Issued. I do not know how long they remained at the Green street shop, but according to Watktns' statement they were brought back here to the state house and on December 29, two days before I assumed office, they were burned In the furnace downstairs, without being counted or checked up, and without witnesses, save a clerk who was no way legally re sponsible for their cire.

I think It a rritriA for the woman to shirk her primary duties, to shrink from be ing a good wire and mother, or course, the woman should have the same right aa the man to train her mind, to better her- ought to follow some special vocstlon In addition to (never in substitution for) her home work. But Just as the hlahest work for ths normal mnn is work fur his wife and chil dren, so the hlght-st work for the normal woman la tne work of the home, where, heaven knows, the work Is ample enough. But I also feel she can do the best work In her home If she has healthy outside In terests and occupations In addition, and I most firmly believe that ahe cannot do her lull outy by her husband If she occupies a merely servile attitude toward him. or submits to ill treatment, and she Is quite aa bad a mother If weak and foolish aa if hard and unloving. CHANGES IN POSTAL SERVICE Lora-o Antoant of Work Taken from the Division of Corre spondence. WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. An Important change In the administration of the Post office department will become effective about February 16, when the division of correspondence will be divided and dis tributed among other bureaus of the de, partment Frank H. Hitchcock, first as sistant postmaster general, recommended the change tn his annual report, and it has been approved by Postmaster General Cor- telyou. "It la of the highest Importance to peo ple who use the malls," says Mr. Hitch cock, "that this change should be made, Much purely legal work now devolving upon the division of correspondence should be transferred to the assistant attorney general for the Postofflce department. This requires careful study and application of the law, and for an exact and comprehen slve knowledge of many branches of the law. It should fall, properly, within the province of the principal law officer of the department. "One function now exercised by the divi sion of correspondence belongs appropri ately to th third assistant postmaster gen ral. r Thla .

"Another function of the division of cor respondence to be transferred is the man agement of the box rent and key deposit business. This will go to the division of salaries and allowances, where It formerly was conducted." READY TO HEAR THE CHARGES Committee Notifies Senator Klttreda-e and Congressmen Martla aad Burke. PIERRE, S.

CONSIDERABLE TALK Uf INVESTIGATION Board of Pnrohaso aad Sappllea aad Public La ads aad Balldla May Hav Light Thrown on Past Traasactloa. (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, Feb. 10. (Special.) The state wide primary bill haa not yet been Intro duced and neither haa th subcommittee appointed to draft the measure ever held a meeting. No satisfactory reason haa been given for this, each of th member say ing It has been imposalbl to get the oo re mittee together. Unless something la don by th subcommittee very shortly it Is probable sums members of the house who are anxious to get the platform pledge enacted Into laws before the members get split up on Individual measures, will take step to are why the oommltte does not make haste more rapidly. Notwith standing time Is passing there Is no on but who believes a primary law will bo enacted, because It la In all of th plat forms and even if the sixty days which probably will see the adjournment of th legislature passes by and no bill haa been Introduced Governor Sheldon could very easily call a special session, so th leg islators could give to the people that which they demanded and which has been prom ised by the member. The senate has been In session twenty-seven days and the house twenty-eight days, leaving only twelve day In which bills can be Introduoed tn th house and thirteen In the senate. Th Joint committees so far have only Introduoed - the anti-pass and the S-cent rat bills, but ths commission bill Is about ready to go In, and even tf the Joint committee falls to report a primary bill, the Dodge bill can ' be amende)! to suit the majority of th lgelslatnrs. Clark ' and Thomas hav In terminal taxation bill In the house and senate and there Is no need of the Joint committee getting. up such a bill. Bearchllaht Belna; Primed. A number of member have shown a dis position to look carefully Into matter re lating to the state's business and It con duct by state officers and there I strong talk of Investigations being started to look Into th workings of the Stat Board of Purchas and Supplies and of th Stat Board of Educational Lands and Fund as It waa constituted two years ago. A rumor is . abroad that state . ofjloar. ara shown oourtesie ,hy contractors not ex tended to other Individual Snd some of the legislators are anxious to learn whether-" there is anything In the rumor or Just Idle talk. The fact that the State Board of Educational Lands and Funds buys bond of other states through a middle man prob- . ably has given rise to the rumors about some of the transactions of this board, as It was constituted four years ago and two years ago, and some of the members want to throw the searchlight on these trans actions. So far no bill haa been put In to abolish the 1 mill levy appropriated to th Stat university though there is a strong senti ment for the passage of such a measure. In, regard to the 1 mill levy an Interesting conversation was heard by a member th other day which made him absolutely op posed to appropriations by levy. According to this member two people who wer work ing for a levy for the state fair were talk-' lng. One of them said: "We can get the one eighth of a mill levy passed. You see none of th member ' know wnat 11 means or tiow much money ! win five to th fair board and none of I tho,e who wni PPo it haa got sense enough to figure tt out." Doe a Little Flcorlnr. It so happened that the member who heard the conversation did "have sense enough to figure tt out" and he promptly got to figuring, with the. result that not only he, but a half dnsen or more of hi friends are opposed and wilt be forever opposed to appropriating money by levy, especially when tt Is spent behind closed 1 doors and the vouchers are not endorsed by the state auditor, but the name of the president of the Board of Regents, stamped on a certificate, la sufficient to secure a warrant to pay the expenditures. One of the most secretive and elusive lobbies ever maintained In Lincoln Is th Insurance lobby. At Its head la former Land Commissioner Kent, a man named Johnson and a man named Brian. These men hav not tipped off, so far as any on not directly connected with them, is con cerned, what their business her Is. They hold frequent conference with Attorney Talbot of the Modern Woodmen and hav been housed at the Llndell for three or four week. Inasmuch as no radical Insurance bills hav been thrown Into the hopper, It is thought they ara keeping out measures rather than looking after thoae already In. As might havs been expected, th way wa paved for th coming of th Bur lington employe tomorrow to knock on the paasage of a liability act by th Lin coln Star, which had a lengthy editorial this morning denouncing ths act and at the asms time standing up for the Bur lington Relief association. One member of the ' legislature received from ' th Order of Railway Conductor an endorse ment of the liability act fathered by th association and the endorsement waa stamped with the seal of th order and signed by Its officers, showing th dat of th adoption of the resolution. He Intended to show the same to th railroad com mittee when the railroad employes sent In by the Burlington offlclala appeared to knock, but It ha been taken from his desk and he cannot find It Senator Gibson has received a letter signed by an engineer, but whose name is not attached, favoring' the bill and knocking on the Burlington Relief association. Senator Olbson be lieves the writer feared his Job would b taken from him If his nams be cams known and for that reason he did not sign th letter. Balk oa Bering; Slatate. Considerable opposition has developed against the appropriation of money to buy statutes for the memtx-rs of the legislature and for the state officers.
