BY PALL. LAMBETH.
LONDON, July 9.-(8peclul Dispatch to
The Bee.) King George is making good.
That Is the general verdict and the new
- king la becoming very popular with the
general masses of the English people.
King George Is eve more of a democrat
than was King Edward. He always mixed
with the common people and the laboring
classes, and for many years has taken an
exceedingly active part in the work of bet
tering the conditions of the working classes
of Great Britain.. He has Just decided to
become patron and president of not only
all of the charities with which King Ed
ward was associated, but of , numerous
othr charities in which he was personally
interested before his coming to the throne.
King George has Just received a list of
the charities King Edward patronised, and
although several which the easy-going
King Edward loaned his name to may be
dropped from the list as questionable, King
George will be president of more charitable
societies than any other man living. -Memorial
to Edward VII.
It -lias also been practically decided by
King George; that the form the great na
tional memorial England will erect to King
Edward will be the raising of a great fund
of 6,000,000 to place the hospitals In the
principal cities of Great Britain on a satis
factory basis, and It Is understood that
King George will soon make an announce
ment along these lines. .
King George is not a believer in erecting
' i monuments of atone and. bronse. He be
lieves Iho greatest memorials that can be
erected to uiijr ruler is the founding of hoe
plUUs. charities and Institutions that will
'work toe ha welfare of the masses of the
pooplo. . ...'. '. .
Root Em for Bus; law d.
There is a new era ahead for "JCugland ,
WW Kins uoorge at tne neim. it-iB reai
' Ued now that he Intends to keep close up
1 to the people. There will be hq great ex-
tffvagiYOoa or squandering of money on
unnecessary luxurious entertainments. King
George 'believes It his duty to personally
help solve the 'great ' Industrial problems
which confront Great; Britain today. He
'is personally taking great interest in the
transporting of thousands of needy Eng
lishmen to English colonies, especially Can
ada, aitd he receives dally reports as to
the progress made.
King George has made good already, but
. I predict that he wilt be known to history
as one of Great Britain's greatest rulers.
, He already has shown that he Is the, right
man to prevent ne,w and great dangers
which confront the people of Great Britain,
Remodeling Windsor. ,
The king tins been making a number of
changes at Windsor and Queen Usury h
had the private rooms resrej to what
they were during the early marriage days
of Queen Victoria. She is having the
former nursery remodeled.'. -
A good many partition walls which the
late king, who mu not quite so domesti
cated a monarch as Is King -George, had
put up are being removed. Our new ruler
Is very fond of his family life. He has all
sailor's liking for the domestic hearth
and the Court Windsor will not be unlike
that of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert-
very homelike and very happy,

HOME COMING IS A BIG SUCCES3
Serious Attention ia Given to the
Scarcity of Beef la Ireland
Farmer Are Ready to
Fight.
By THOMAS EMMETT.
DUBLIN, July 9. (Special Dispatch to
The Bee.) The American invasion Is now
at Its height and there have never before
been ao many Americans In Ireland. Every
ship which lands at Queenstown drops 300
or 400 hundred home coming Irish Amer-
leans. Sometime the number Is greater
than this, rarely less. One steamer had
nearly 700 passengers for Queenstown.
And Ireland Is taking car of them, too,
from one end of the country to the other
I hear tales of the' good times being pre
pared for the homeoomers.
So successful has been the movement
this year, that I understand it la to be
made a permanent institution and it Is
probable next year the number of tourists
will be even greater than it has been this
year, '
Point In License Law.
At the Ciaremorrls quarter sessions re
cently, an Interesting ejectment was heard
at the suit of Mr. MarUn Griffith against
Mr. Ferrall McDonnell, Dunmore, In respect
of licensed premises in the town of Ciare
morrls in the occupation of Mr. James
Henehan. The ejectment was based on a
lease- which the court held expired on the
death of the king. There are quite a num
ber of business houses In Ciaremorrls, the
leases of which expired on the death of
the king.
' Beef In Ireland.
At a meeting of the South of Ireland
Cattle Trade association, Mr. Dillon, the
chairman, referred to the scarcity of beef,
and said the matter had now become so
serious that the meat traders of England
were agitating for the opening of Irish
ports to Canadian and Argentine store
cattle. - This was a desperate experiment
to advocate, especially now, when it was
announced that a serious outbreak of foot
and mouth disease had occurred In no
fewer than five centers in the Argentine
Republic.
If this outbreak had never occurred the
removal of the embargo would not satisfy
the cry for cheap meat, because there
were no restrictions on the Importation
of dead meat or on fat cattle, to be
slaughtered . on arrlva! from the United
States or Canada. -
. Farmers Will Fight.
English, Scottish and Irish farmers had
to tight, against this unfair competition,
with the result that, finding the rattling
of beef .unremunertlve, they also, .-In .a
great measure, gave up fattening cattle,
and contented themselves with supplying.
In the summer and autumn, what, was
known as "grass beef.".
The gravity of the situation could not
be overestimated, and a national duty
devolved upon their agriculturists to rise
to the occasion, recognising that . an Imme
diate return to tillage to a larger extent
than ever prevailed before would alone
avert a meat famine. The , government
should aid financially, and In a very sub
stantial manner, our agriculturists to tide
over this crisis.
Profits to Public
The profits of the Belfast corporation
electric cltxdepartment last year amounted
to S5&.000, 125.000 of which was handed over
in relief rates.
"Parliamentary Practice."
At a meeting of the Londonderry district
council a member proposed that two pairs
of 4-ounce gloves should be bought so that
members might settle their differences
promptly and without undue argument
Boycotts Still Rate.
Six hundred and twelve persons were be
ing wholly or partly boycotted In Ireland
(save an official return) at the beginning
of the present month.
FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT AT
LISBON BOXING MATCH
Seconds of the Principals Mix in Dto-
reunrd of All Rales of the Rlns;
and a Riot Ensues.
LISBON, July S. (Special Dispatch to The
Bee.) A riot of the most violent character
occurred at a boxing match here between
a professional boxer named Aaevedo, who
has recently returned from the United
States, and a colored man named Costa,
who Is of huge proportions. The building
In which the contest took place was
crowded to the utmost, there being about
1000 spectators present. The pugilists used
tour-ounce gloves. In the second round
Costa, with a tremendous swing, caught
Aievedo on the Jaw, sending him Instantly
to the ground. When Axevedo was regain
Ing his feet the colored boxer, it Is alleged
resumed the contest and punished his ad
versary while he was on the ground
Asevedo's seconds Interfered, endeavoring
to pull Costa away. The seconds of the
colored fighter thereupon attacked the op
posing party, and the spectators, amid gen
eral uproar, took sides. The affair quickly
degenerated Into a free fight. Blows were
lustily exchanged on both sides, and th
Wildest confusion prevailed. The crow
grew still more turbulent, and the police
who were present were utterly unable to
quell the riot. Reinforcements of gend
ermery were summoned, and finally order
was restored. It was then found that over
thirty . persona had received more or le
serious Injuries.

BY PAUL VILLIERS.
PARIS, July a-(Speclal Dispatch to The
Bee.) In the gentle arts of ballot box
stuffing. Intimidation of voters and stealing
of elections generally the French colonies
Aot only have nothing to learn of the most
expert American exponents of the shady
side of . politics, but In view of the dis
closures In the examination of the returns
from Guadeloupe. Martinique and La Re
union, just made by the new Chamber of
Deputies, those colonists could qualify as
teachers to any aspirants who wish to learn
the trick of carrying elections without
votes.
Consequences of Election.
One result of the election was the un
seating of the negro deputy Legltimus,
famous because he was absent so long
during the last Parliament that his exist
ence was considered as a myth by some,
though he happens to be In Paris Just now.
Another consequence may be to raise the
whole question of the advisability of any
Parliamentary representation for the
colonies at least those of the West Indies.
Apparently no election campaign ever
takes place In Guadeloupe 'and Martinique
unaccompanied by fire and slaughter.
This year the proceedings were compar
atively mild, only a few plantations being
burnt in Guadeloupe and "some persons
killed, exact number unobtainable."
Colonial elections also - have their in
genuously comlo side. M. Legltimus, for
example, was beaten by his opponent by
000 votes when three ballot boxes still re
mained to be opened. These were secreted
somewhere for four days. When they were
opened whole - bundles of papers for M.
Legltimus poured out, and he caught up the
One, with 600 extra. Hence his unseating.
Incidents of the Voting:.
In some colonial constltuences officers
at the polling booths calmly tore up tbe
papers bearing names, they disliked. A
candidate turning up suddenly during such
an operation, the officer, taken' by sui-
prlse, swallowed the paper he was going to
throw away. It stuck In his throat and he
nearly died.
A remarkable operation discovered dur
ing the parliamentary inquiry was as fol
lows: A ballot box on the first count was
found to contain 324 papers for A and 127
for B. The box and the signed return
were conveyed to the town hall.
When It reached there the votes were 22
for A and 701 for B. A spurious certificate
of the returning officer had simply been
substituted, with his signature forged.
Under these circumstances, does It really
seem worth while to ask the colonlea to
send . representatives to the home Parlia
ment? This question Is being very seriously
asked In tbe chamber and It la regarded as
altogether probably that action wilt be
taken modifying if not cutting off colonial
representatives.
' Street Accidents In Paris,
comparison is frequently made in
America of the better manner in which
street traffic Is regulated In London. Paris
and other great European cities than In
America.
Once In a while statistics are presented
which demonstrate that this alleged su
periority of European cities is mythical.
For example, a return Just made to the
Paris municipal council Bhows that there
were 66.870 street accidents in-Parl during
iw in which Sl.Stig vehicles were Involved.
The same return shows there are something
less than 500,000 vehicles In tho city. n.
eluding 20.000 hand carts and ,000 barrows.
This would Indicate that at least 16 per cent
or the vehicles of Phris were involved in
accidents during the year. I doubt if any
American city would show anything like
this proposition.
Leplne May Resign.
M. Leplne, the famous prefect of police
of Paris, may resign because of differences
with the government
One point of disagreement comes of the
rule that all. public administrations must
accept a certain number of ex-service men
every, year. Thanks to this, M. Leplne Is
asked to accept . as policemen two ex-
soldlers, who have each nerved a term of
Imprisonment. He strongly objects, and
so do his men.
Aetreaa Loses Hnlt.
Paris rather enjoyed the suit of M. De
val, manager of the Theatre de 1'Athenco
against Mile. Ijinthelme for damages be
cause she refused to play the part for
for which she was cast In an adaptation
of "Manon." The actress's defense wa-j
that her part contained a situation which
offended her sense of propriety. -
Inasmuch aa Mile. Ijtnthelme had a
short time before appeared In a play called
"Le Circuit," when her role called for
risque situations to which those In the new
play were mild, her defense was looked on
In the nature of a Joke. The court evidently
took that view of it, as the actress w4s
ordered to pay the manager SlOuO damagos.
Balloon In Directory.
Parisian reference books for next year
will denote those, fortunate or otherwise,
to own balloons by marking a small Wal
loon or aeroplane against their nam's.
This will prove very Convenient, for neigh
bors who wish to commit suicide unob
trusively can Just borrow the aeroplane for
"a fly In the park."
Homo Old-Timer.
A record for longevity Is claimed for
an old couple named Fayet, reaidmg al
Chateldon. Pude-Dome, tbe husband oeine
lot and the wife 101. Both are in excel
lent health, and work unaided their small
holding.

VIENNA, July . (Special Dispatch to
The Bee.) The unsuccessful attempt to as
sassinate General Baron von Varesanin as
he was returning from the opening of the
first Bosntan-Hcrsegovlntan diet at Serav-
ejo, has served to show the splendid loy
alty of the provinces to the empire. Every

cration for the anarchlstlo attempt and had
the would-be assassin not taken his own
life he probably would have been torn to

Conference In Crete.
The proposal that the powers Interested
In the Cretan situation hold a Joint con
ference at which the whole question may be
settled, meets with approval here. It is
understood that Russia has tentatively sej
forward the following basts of a settle
ment: "Crete to retain its autonomy, but Turk
ish suzerainty to be recognised by a yearly
tribute.
"Later on, when things become quieter,
Crete, by capitalising its yearly tribute,
might receive additional' autonomous
rights that Is, It could be Incorporated
with Greece If the latter agreed to pay
purchase money to Turkey to be fixed
by an agreement
"Meanwhile, the rights of the Cretans to
render Us relations to Greece as Intimate
as possible will be recognized by various
treaties and conventions."
It Is considered in well-informed quar
ters here very unlikely that Turkey would
sanction such a proposal, and it la hardly
likely that the powers will be able to reach
any agreement which is satisfactory to
Turkey.
Troops at Election.
The government is accused of employing
troops from Austrian garrisons during the
general election In Hungary to prevent
supporters of the opposition' from reaching
the polling stations. -Various
concrete instances are given, in
cluding one by Mr. Soton Watson, an Eng
lishman, who says he was present on elec
tion day at Szakolexa and found the town
surrounded by a cordon of troops, through
which supporters of the government candi
date were allowed to pass, while several
hundred Slovak electors were driven back
by force.
The premier. Count Khuen Hedervary, la
reported . to. - have raplled .by threatening
proceedings against Mr. Watson, declaring.
"We are not. afraid of an Englishman., The
English fleet cannot come here, and we
have no fear of the English army." .

OPORTO. July .-(Speolal Dispatch to

which resolved Itself Into a fight on an
heroic scale, took place recently at Pelayos,
where there Is a large cattle ranch for the
breeding of fierce Spanish bulls for the
purposes of the national amusement of
bull-flghtlng.
Herders were engaged in separating the
bulls and driving them Into enclosures
when a large wooden stand, In which were
many spectators from the surrounding vil
lages, suddenly collapsed. Over 100 persons
were thrown among ' the bulls, trampling
and tossing the victims. Ten cowboys,
armed with shotguns and rifles, Jumped
Into the arena and fired repeatedly at bull
which were charging into the crowd.
Three men were gored to death and forty
spectators Injured before the bulls had
been placed under control. Six bulls were
shot.

PARIS, July . (Special Dispatch to The

as well as gay, and an edict has gone forth
prohibiting the littering of the streets with
waste paper. This is a matter in which
Parisians have been woefully neglectful of
the beauty and the Interests of their city.
The reform Is to be accomplished in part
by - a law prohibiting the distribution of

Duma are to be still further Increased and
it Is not Improbable that within a few vears
Russia will have advanced in the path of
constitutional government until she is
abreast of Prussia.
This Is the opinion held by many who
are high in the favor of the csar. It Is
stated that his 'majesty has followed the
work of the Duma with keen Interest. He
convinced that the fact that Russia is
less afflicted with active revolutionary
ideas than she has been for many years
Is due In great part to the work of th
Duma and that a gradual extension of
the parliamentary idea means saftety, peace
and progress. Hence It is his intention to
extend the scope of parliamentary author,
ity as rapidly aa circumstances will permit
It is understood that he has so expreagod
himself, not only to some of his leading
ministers, but- also to nonofflclal members
of the Duma.
Accused of Desecration.
The upholders of orthodoxy have been
waiting with great impatience the result
of the extraordinary trial which has just
been concluded at Mosyr, In the govern
ment of Minsk, with closed doors.
Five . landowners and farmers, Polish
Roman Catholics, and two orthodox peas
ants who accompanied them, wre charged
with desecrating a Russian church by pull
ling up the flooring ' and shooting two
foxes which had made their lair on tne
premises. In doing this they Invaded tho
sanctuary and. covered with shot m4rks an
Ikon of Christ, which was also bespattered
with blood.'

the village of Rojlatsha. It is old and tum
bledown, 'the roof la described aa rotten,
and only one service is held there annually.
it being shut the rest of tbe year.
Once Acquitted.
The charge against the prisoners dated
from December, - 1306. They had already
been . tried and acquitted on technical
grounds. The Indictment described how
the prisoners went fox-shoottng with a
number of doga and forced an entranco
into the church. Their footsteps and tracks
were discernable on tho snow? which hud
fallen through the roof on the floor of the
building. There were blood stains in many
places. What bad occurred was quite evi
dent. One of the foxes, on being driven
from the hole under the church, had dashed
towards the ikon screen, and the hunters
had fired at H as it made a leap on to the
ikon of the Saviour. Twenty-two slut
marks were found on the Ikon Itself.
The second fox unearthed In the cnurcn
was killed by the dogs.
Tbe court condemned the five land
owners and farmers to terms of hard laoor
varying between eight and four years. The
two peasants received less punishment. .
Murder Multiplies.
Some time ago a whole lamlly was mur
dered at Potchep, In the southwest of
Russia. Two men named Gluster. end
Shmakhin were charged with the crime,
and, although protesting- their innocence to
the last, the former was hanged and the
latter sentenced to a long term of hard
Labor.
It wan subsequently ascertained that there
had been a miscarriage of Justice and tltu
real murderers were arrested and tried b
court-martial at Chernigoft and condemned
to death. This occurred on May 26, and
tho three murderers were confined in Cher
nlgoff gaol pending the execution of Ihcir
sentence. They had been strangled by
their companion with a twisted plecs of
linen.
The three had drawn lots as to which of
them should kill the two others and tlmn
commit suicide. The man who lost ful

the last moment shrank trom doing away
