Now that the country haa Bet tied down In a measure flom the grief attendlne the sudden deatli of the late King Kdward, the pollttcaj situat-iem Is again attracting attention. In best informed circle. It Is believed that-the changes In the situation due to the death of King Ed ward will result In the present government holding off lea until late in the fall if not until the first of the year. It may be that soma basis of compromise will be reached which will make dissolution unnecessary Y 'v for some time to come. It is hard, though, Mo see- Just how a compromise can be reached. Tha government cannot recede from Its position on the lord's veto and continue to hold office. Not only would the Irish and labor parties rebel, but the bulk of the lib erals themselves would refuse to follow their leaders In any recession on this point. There Is hope In some quarters that the king may he able to exert Influence enougli on the House ot Lords to Induce the peers to accept the Inevitable so far as the veto ia concerned with the government making concessions along other lines. There seems to be a general disposition, however, not to force matters for a while so as to allow King George, to become ac customed to the routine of government. In a recent letter Rider Haggard pointed . out on reason why neither party Is anx- ( lous to force another general election until ' . n becomes absolutely necessary. He fig s urea that the cost of contesting a county division Is something like 110,000. And this figure is reached in expenses permitted under the law. As there are between 000 and 600 contested seats the cost of a, gen eral election to candidates and parties is something appalling, and not to be brought on lightly -r Americans at Morae Show. A number of Americans will exhibit at tha Royal horse show to be held June 17-18. It was thought for a time that the death of King Edward would lead to the calling off of tha show, but King George Indicated his desire it should be held. Captain Peary has returned from his con ' tlnental tour and will remain in England until June IS, when he will sail for home. He la being entertained at the Savage club tonight and will lecture at Bristol, Cardiff, Liverpool and Manchester next week.

The dinner ' EXCITEMENT FOR ACTRESSES Poison in Wine, Warning Letters and Other Strenuous Happenings. UNWELCOME GUESTS IN BOX Rao Hotiarla Crime Stirs the liny French Capital from Center to Circumference-Police Move Very Slowly. BY PAUL VILLI ERA PARIS, May 28. (Special Dispatch to The Bee ) Actresses are having rather an ex citing time of it in Paris in these days of the comet. One has been the victim of at tempts to poison her, another hud several terrifying warning letters, and a third spent one evening of apprehension because of the presence of a private box of four ferocious Apaches, Mme. Marguerite Carre, wife of the director of the Opera Cnmique, after re hearsing a new part, went to her dressing room to take a glass of w'ne. Inviting her dresser and stage manager to join her, No sooner had Mme. Curie tuken a sip of the wine than she felt a burning sensa tion. She at once declared that there was something the matter with the wine. The dresser, to reasmire her, took a sip,- but was 111 for the rest of tho evening, while the stage manager fared us badly. As the bottle had been opened the day before and the contents were then perfectly good. It was evident that it hud been tam pered with In the Interval. The matter was placed In the hands of the police at once, and It is stated that the presence of sulphonate haa been detected. For days past Mme. Carre has been re ceiving anonymous and threatening let ters. Strangely enough Mile. Yvonne do Bray, an artist at the Renaissance, has also been receiving letters similar In character to those sent to Mine. Carre and containing mysterious hints to her to be on her guard against the flowers she is offered, the rouge she used In her makeup, steel traps In the wings and steps down which she might fall. The letters have been handed to the police. Kvll I.ooklogr Men. Mile. Lanthelme, who is playing a prin cipal part in "Le Costand deB Epinettes," at the Vaudeville, had an alarming ex perience the other evening. The story of the play Is that of a young man who turned Apuche In lieu of something better to do. One of the first "Jobs" assigned to him was to remove a young woman who held In her possession conipromiing papers. The young man falls In hive with his victim and saves her from another Apache, who would be before him In the deed. It Is Intended as a skit upon the Apache. Therefore, when four evil-looking men occupied the box on the stage on the even Ing referred to, a little tremer of appre hension went through the players. Had the Faubourg' Nonamartr sent a blood thirsty deputation to take . vengeance? Mile. Lanthelme went, through her part ery nervously, one hand every now rand then furtively -reaching- for, her beautiful black pearls which hung about her neck as though she were afraid thex might vanish. The management, who was shocked at ita guests, lnvltod them to leave, but they sturdily refused. Then it was discovered that they had obtained the seata from a gentleman who, disgusted at not receiving his money back for a box he could not occupy at the last minute, had given away the tickets to the worst "types" he had encountered on the boulevards. The affecting part of the story ia that the suspects next morning .sent Mile. Lanthelme a pot of geraniums, together with expressions of their devotion and as surances that her possessions would never be touched by the fraternity. There are many points In the sensational Rue Botzaris which appeal to Parisians. Not that It la more unnatural than many a similar crime, but because the details lend themselves to any amount of descriptive amplifications. Whilst the police were searching for the presumed murderer and it took them two good months there was ample time to enter Into the history of this unfortunate girl, who, at the age of 18 years had already a long career on the Paris trottolrs behind her. She makes a casual acquaintance with a man who had already spoken to three of her friends In similar walk of life. They see her dis appear gaily In his company down the street and that was the last they saw of Ellsa Vandamme until her mutilated head was found In the vacant lot of the Rue Botsaris. Her hands were found in a drain some time later, and then what seemed to be her ears and other parts of the body, scattered, aa It were, at hap- haiard by the fiend who was cutting up her corpse, and finally some children playing on another vacant lot were found to be using a dried-up human leg aa a bat in a game of ball. Tha leg was to all ap pearance, after a careful examination by specialists of the morgue, set down as be ing that of tho murdered girt. Work! Calmly Alone;. Tha crime haunt the imagination of real or would-be criminals, who write to the detective department claiming that they perpetrated it, as if it were something In which they could glory. During this time tha only man who knew anything about the girl's death and how it , occurred was quietly pedalling every day through the streets of Paris on a delivery tryclcle .carrying clothes and well earning his 4 or i francs a day by more real hard labor than he had even been compelled to do in the convict station at Guplana, 1 The newspapers were full of details about the Rue Botsaris mystery and when he could spare a sou he would buy one and read It quietly by himself. He had served his term of five )years. but another five aa a tlcket-of-leave man' was too much for him. He had apparently taken every piecau tlon to remove all traces of the crime, for tha police found the ' room scrupulously clean and tidy, but he had omitted to get rid of the key of the girl Vandamme'a room. It was this that convicted him. . China Flada a Heraedy. RHANQAHI. May 38. (Special Dl.n.th v4i The Bee.

(Special Dispatch to Tho Bee.) The kaiser will, as soon as it can bo arranged, &rant a special audience to the party of 170 veterans of the Ger man army who have come from America to visit the battlefields where they fought for the fatherland. His inujesty hus shown much interest in this pilgrimage, and has given personal In structions thut every courtesy and facility shall be shown these old soldiers of the empire, now citizens of the great empire on the other side of the Atlantic. Only the necessity for his going to England to be present at the funeral of his uncle, the late King Kdward, prevented his receiving the Ameifcaiia when they first arrived. It Is the purpose of the pilgrims to re main in Gei many until the lutter part ot August and they will vis.t the battlefields In Alsace-Lorraine and will follow uie march of the Herman army to Paris. Great interest is felt In the War office In the announcement that un Kngllsh electrical engineer has discovered a means of con trolling the flight of dirigible unships from the ground by the same principle as gov tins wireless telegraphy. DouDt is ex pressed that the E.iglish Invention will do what is claimed for It, but the announce inent has set Oermun experts at work along similar lli.es.

An amusing story la told of the celebra tion. of the birth, of the grand ducal heir In the grand dutchy . of Mecklenburg gchweiiu. Following the example of tne capital, Schwerin, tne municipality of little town, .decided to fire the regulation salute of 101 guns. An ancient cannon was accordingly hauled out for the purpose, and the firing began.

At this moment the municipal band master came forward with a luminous pro posal, which was eagerly accepted. He dispatched his big drum major to the mar ket place, where he struck olght powerful strokta on his instrument to make up the full number of shots, and thus tne sliua tion was saved. A young German aeronaut, Herr Wien cater, has sprung into fame unexpectedly by encircling Strasbuig cathedral in an Antoinette aeroplane at an altitude of tiuO feet. Hitherto Herr Wiencsicrs has only flown distances at a moderate height.

A . terrible spectacle was w itnessed in the Ztetnenslrasse at Rixdorf, recently, Passers-by saw a woman attached by the feet to a window In the first story of house, her head hanging In space. The woman waa making frantlo efforts to save herself. Tha spectators rushed into the house, but Just as they broke open th door they heard a shriek. The woman her strength having given out, fell into the street, fracturing her head on the pave ment. She was the wffe of a tramway car conductor and had suffered from an In curable malady. She decided to take her life, but, regretting her act of despair, was unable to escape the horrible death she hud chosen. Tha Countess Vera de Talleyrand, a well known social leader in the highest circles In Paris, has Just prepared a surprise for her wide circle of friends by having printed for private circulation a little book of aphorisms on life and love, entitled "Thoughts and Remembrances."

I understand thart Baroness Eleanor von Siemens, who was the cause of the re cent sensational series of duels In which the socialist deputy Chlesa was recently engaged, Is about to leave Rome, where she has lived for some. time. There was a great sensation in the Italian Chamber of Depu ties on March 4, when Chlesa, In Interpel lating General Prudent, th under secre tary of war, formally accused several gen erals of having betrayed the secrets of the national defence through the Baroness von Siemens, a foreign woman with whom they were on friendly terms. At tha close of the session five men challenged Chlesa to fight duels. Among them were General Fee I a de Cossato, General Prudent, the Duke dl Lltta, and Count Gtacomo Mo rando. The challenges came so quickly on top of one another that the seconds and umpires had much difficulty In arranging their priority. Nobody haa been killed up to the present writing, but General Pru dent wounded Chlesa In tha face and Chlesa gashed General dl Cossato in the left cheek. Apologies have mad th other duels unnecessary. Very Rich Baroncaa. j Tha Baroness von Siemens Is ' a very rich woman, who has a fine house In Rome, where she entertains many k members of the highest society.

Turks Are Still Strong When War Calls for Action Rare Old Manuscript Bible is Bought in Vienna to Be Placed in Leipzig Museum. BY EM 1L ANDRASdY. VIENNA, May is, (Special Dispatch to The Bee.) Whatever may be the condi tion of the Turks, the recent troubles In Albania has made It perfectly plain that they have not deterloated the slightest as fighting men. Austrian . officers, who have followed the campaign are ( loud in their praises of tha 'splendid fighting qualities of the Turkish soldiers. Tha Albanians have alwaya been regarded as the' cream ot th Turkish' ' army. ' Many of th rebels are veterans who served in the former sultan's famous"1 bctfy guard.

Several officers who hay .seen the ;flghtlng have said,; to me that they, did not believe 'there Wer any better' soldiers In Europe thari the men now serving" under 'Shefket Torgut Pasha in Albania.: , . It is coming to be believed that agents of th former 'sultan are to blame for the Albanian uprising which might easily have precipitated ' a .European war. Only the strongest efforts- on the part of Russia, Austria and . Germany prevented , the Balkans kingdom from taking a hand In the game. This would almost inevitably have Involved the greater powers. ' Signs are not wanting, according to gossip In high circles, that Italy will drop out of the triple alliance when the present agree ment expires.. If she does, the idea here Is that the alliance between Germany and j Austria will be drawn even closer, and so far as the balance of Europe Is concerned, they will constitute one power for either offense or defense. In fact there is ground for belief that such an understanding now exists between Berlin' and Vienna thut practically binds the two great Germanic powers as firmly as though there wait organic unison and that It was due to thlb understanding that Austria ventured the Bosnla-Herzegovnla coup'. The knowledge of this alliance Is probably what prevented the action of Russia and the other power from going beyond an ineffectual protest.
