The parliamentary campaign has resulted In the assurance of a liberal triumph. The Intense antagonism to the House of Lords, If no other question was Involved, would, It la believed, have militated against a Tory victory There were several serious questions to be settled, chief among- them being the right of the lords to checkmate progressive legislation, the right of that body to dictate to work!nf-mn how they shall spend their money and also Its right to have any voice In the affairs of Ireland, Scotland or the dependencies. Ireland, It Is certain, will be arrayed against Toryism. Lordly Arrogance. Here Is an example of lordly arrogance: In tho course of an address on the Impe rial problem the duke of' Marlborough ob served that In the oversea states the gov ernor general, the representative of consti tutional monarchy, was coming more and r AaMimA m tinil H MM which. Onlv a member of the royal family could adequately fill, and he suggested that It should gradu ally become the custom to select the" gov ernor general of the dominions as far as possible from the ranks of the princes of the blood, and that appointments of this character should be divorced from politics.

The sections within Russian and British territory will be under the exclusive control of the re spective countries. The Persian trunk line will be built and controlled by the Inter national company. The whole length of the Persian trunk line will be 1,100 miles. The distance from London to Bombay via of the new route will be 6.T00 miles. Dispersing; Large Estates.

BV THOMAS EMMET. DUBLIN, Dec. 10. (?peclp.l to The Be.) There Is general rejoicing throughout the country over the breaking up of the vari ous big estates and the purchase of them by the tenants who live on them.

The es tates commissioners at Balllntrllllck pro ceeded with tho distribution of the Cur raghamore ranch, containing 300 acres and formerly held by Blr Jooelyn Gore Booth, Llssadetl, Sllgo. All the tenants were duly considered and additions of land In some cases up to sixteen seres were made. Booth Is the son of an IrUh nobleman, who would never wear a collar and made It a practice to curse England every time It was mentioned. The news that the negotiations for the purchase of Castlerea by the Congested Districts board has been brought about has been received with Jubilation. The , Wills Sandford estate, on which the town Is situated, was the first sold under the land act of IMS, with the exception of the town and demesne. Now the balance of the estate. Including the town and the demesne, containing 750 acres, and the beautiful mansion of Mr. Banford, have been purohas'ed by the board. The estate commissioners propose to acquire compul sorily lands In Ards. The area proposed to be acquired Is ninety-eight acres, the rated occupier Mrs. Caroline Darley. The tenants on the Major Dawson estate, an extensive property In Westmeath and Longford, have signed purchase agree ments. Other land monopolists will be forced to sell or suffer boycotts. Penal Days Recalled. Tho erection of a marble cross to mark the spot on which mass was celebrated In the open air In penal times Is an event of some little Importance. It Is the first of Its kind yet erected In this country. The spot Is a rath three miles from Klllarney, named Llss-an-Affrlon, or the Hps of the mass. It Is a marblo cross of Celtic shape, resting on a limestone pedestal, on whloh there la an Inscription In Irish The In scription literally translated follows: "For the Greater Glory of God and In Honour of St. Cummlan, This Cros-i Was Erected to Mark the Spot on Which Mass Was Bald When There Was Neither Thatch Nor Slate Over the Altar of God and When the Soldiers of the King Perseouted His People, Tlila Cross Wag Erected by Priests, All Natives of Klloummln Parish.

The local government board states that It de clines to sanction Dr. Holmes appoint ment, being of the opinion that bribery was practiced at the election, and It will not approve of his employment until after a lapse of five years. A new election Is ordered. Cheating the Hevenne. There la said to have been custom frauds at Belfast. The allegation la that owing to an lngonlus use of lead In weighing to bacco every turn of the scale has meant a loss to tbe revenue, and hat these losses, which have been going on for two years, amount to a large sum. A detailed description of the method by which the revenue was cheated has been published, but the names of the criminals have been suppressed. ' Cullinan, Miner, to Lose His Fame Great Diamond Found on a Boer Farm to Be Known Hereafter as Star of Africa. CAPE TOWN. Dec. 10. (Special to The Boe Tom Cullinan haa been robbed of Immortal fame by the renaming of the Cullinan diamond which Is to be known In the future as the "Star of Africa." The Transvaal government presented the stone to King Edward. While the world has heard much of the Cullinan diamond, but llttlo la known of he discoverer of this wonderful gem. Tom Cullinan, now the multimillionaire chair man and director of the celebrated Premier IMamond Mining company, has not been ppolled by his phenomenal success. He remains fulrhful and humble to old friends. Beginning life a penniless youth, Cullinan Is of the labor member type, still on the "sunny side" of 80 years. His discovery of the Premier mine was not a lucky coup It was the result of calculating courage. After the Boer war he had the chance of buying an old Boer's farm near Pretoria.

During the hearing of evidence In a milk rase before Sheriff Orr In Edinburgh, sheriffs court, one of the witnesses, a 'Ualrykeeper, told a rather musing story In connection with the milk ing of cons. He tali that many years ago a gentle man offered a very handsome prise, to be awwded by the Btlrling Agricultural society for cows giving the greateet quan tity of rullk. The prlie winner gave an abnormal quantity, though the quality was rather poor. He bought the animal, and after using concentrated feed procured considerably better milk, but not nearly so much of It. Later he questioned the original owner as to the methods he em ployed for winning the prise. "Well," was the reply, "to tell you the truth.

William the Second has discovered at last that there ate some things in the United States worth Imitation and he has an nounced the fact. After a banquet which the kaiser Kve here a few days ago to distinguished academicians from German and foreign uni versities lie received students representing the corps and associations of the Berllri university. The kaiser chatted for a long time with them, and among the excellent things he said he would like to see German students drink less and devote more time to sport In the manner American students do. Men who spent much time In peering Into beer mugs, he said, never amounted to much, excepting In weight and avoirdu pois, and did not cut much figure these times. Germans Get Nobel Prise. The Nobel prise for literature has been awarded by the Swedish academy to Paul Heyse, the German poet and author. Heyse Is one of the most distinguished story writers. He haa also written many plays. He Is a native of this city. Prof. Otto Wallach of Gottlngen univer sity has been awarded the Noble prise (7,811) for chemistry. These two facts have brought from a socialist member of the relchstag the remark that "two such men are worth more than a thousand Kaiser Williams to humanity." Kalaer gtndlra While 8 hoofing. The emperor, who recently ' returned from a hunting trip. Immediately started off for. the Charlottenburg Technical school to take part - In the deliberations at the conference of the Shipbuilders' association. Ha entered In the middle of an address on ballistics and contributed to the discussion some observations collected during his ex perience In pursuit of game, both by him self and Ms surgeon, who-had studied the effects of bullets on the bodies of tbe ani mals slain for his Imperial pleasure. The operation of a bullet, he announced, was caused by the Influence of Its rota tion, due to the rifling of the gun on the fluid particles of the body. In the oase of game the point of entry of the bullet was dlffloult to discover, as the skin closed up again, and frequently the hole could only be found after a search. On the other hand, the point of exit was so large that one might Imagine It had been made by a shell. The emperor had, be said, at the experi mental range at Haiense, made similar observations on the explosive power given to a shot by moisture. Moreover, when hunting In the winter he had noticed par ticles strewn about In the snow through this effect of the rotary motion of bul lets. The bullet itself remained completely unchanged and showed no signs of defor mation. He considered It his duty to com municate the results of his personal ob servations to the meeting. To Prevent Vessels Rolling. The emperor showed great Interest In the details presented by Herr Frabm of Ham burg, of a device Invented by him for re ducing the rolling of vessels at sea. It Is a huge U-shaped tank oontalnlng water, the oscillation of which counteracts that of the ship. This contrivance had been tried with beneficial results on the Hamburg-American company liners, and was being fitted on their leviathan now under construction. The emperor congratulated Herr Frahm on his Invention and ex pressed' the hope that anti-rolling tanks might soon be fitted In all passenger steamers. The emperor talked so learnedly about ballistics and things of that nature that It gave rise to the suspicion that his remarks were prepared In advance for him by an expert. The members applauded htm vociferously and It was noticeable that the man who bowled most enthusiastically recently secured a government contract. ' Officers as Alleged S, lea. The Messrs. Brandon and Trench, the Englishmen awaiting trial here on a charge of espionage, are said to be really Captain Bernard Frederic Trench of the Royal Ma rine light Infantry and Lieutenant Vivian H. Brandon. The charges against them are of many counts. Including trespassing, espionage, and attempting to convey secrets to a foreign power. Almost from the time of their detention they have been kept under close confinement. When It was decided to send the ac cused Englishmen fur trial the dossier of their case was forwarded by the civil to the military authorities, with a request for opinion us to the value of the secrets the prisoners are alleged to have dlscoered. The trial, at which the British Foreign office has applied for leave to be repre sented, may possibly be conducted Is camera. The protracted preliminary In quiry Into the charge of espionage at Em den and Borkum against them has been completed. The date of tho trial has not been fixed, but it Is expected to take place at Lelpslg this month, probably In a few days. The indictment Is drawn up and ready; It is understood that It will be communicated to counsel for the defense. Captain Trench comes of a well known family, of which Lord Ashton la tbe head. He is a cousin of Colonel Trench, late naval attache.

YANKEE WOMENJJIG SPENDERS Americans Most Fashionably Dressed in Austrian Cities. DYING MAN DKAWS A FORTUNE Romance of Real Uuallly Marked the Life of a Hungarian Nobleman Who ' Has Just Died In Poverty BY EM ID ANDRASST. VIENNA, Dec. 10. (Special to The Bee.) American women who visit the Austrian resorts are said to be the most fashionably dressed and spend more for beautiful gowns than those of any nationality. Having time to ponder well on the beautiful wear ing creations of the season, Viennese firms display them to the beet advantage, and It Is nothing uncommon for a wealthy American avoman to buy as many as twenty frocks during the season, many of these to take back to America, although the duty Is high. The "hobble skirt," was never worn by the former dollar ladies. The lat ter allowed themselves to be persuaded Into It in the gay city, and women dressed In Carlsbad or Vlonna, smiled In a superior way at their sisters' foolishness. In Purls, they say, the lady has to suit herself to the fashions, but In Vienna the fashions are carefully suited to the lady. Tliis method pleases American women, foi they like to be distinctive. They are not difficult to satisfy, but they require the best material, the most elegant possible, and, above all, special attention to the clothes that suit them Individually. The Independent Idea In dress of that which is best suited to the wearer ap pears to be a breaking away from the custom of following certain styles that are not always suited to all persons alike. Street dresses are so plain that It is dif ficult to. realise that an apparently mod est coat worn on the street may be lined through with costly fur and finished wltn Inside ruffles of rare lace. Fortune Came Too Late. Count Vlnslng Lasar, a Hungarian noble man. Is dead after a checkened and ro mantio career, not the least incident of which occurred as he was on his death bed. While yet a young man the count squandered his wealth In speculation. After undergoing a course of training at Brus sels as a civil engineer after his wealth was gone, he was given a post by the Hungar ian State Railway Administration. After some years he retired to the town of Mares Vasarhely. There he married the daughter of an Innkeeper, aud to eke out his very small pension he worked as a carpenter. In their e "forts to save something for their old age the count and his wife lived with extreme frugality. Finally the count fell seriously ill. When he was on the point of death a message reached him announc ing that the sum of fttt.OuO had been awarded him as the result of a long-standing law suit. The law suit was begun in the days of his prosperity. The dying man was sufficiently conscious to understand the news. School Boys Fight Dnel, An extraordinary duel la reported from Mako, In Hungary. A 15-year-old school boy, Anton Perecky, taking offense at cer tain remarks made by a schoolfellow, Siephan holymackl, of the same age, sent two friends as seconds to him, and chal lenged him to a pistol duel. The cliaUenge was accepted, and the meeting took place uutalde the town, four school boys acting as seconds. Revol vers, which the boys had stolen from their fathers, was used.

CALCUTTA, Dec. 10.-(Speclal to The Bee.) Great rejoicing Is manifested over the announcement that their majesties. King George and Queen Mary, will visit India a year hence. The new monarch Is looked upon as a gracious ruler by the people of India. A hope Is entertained here that the coro nation will be based on oriental Ideas and that the pomp and splendor wilt be made so Impressive as not to be readily effaced from the memory of those who witness It. Great expectations of special acts of olegn ency are entertained when the king and queen make their visit. It Is believed the occasion will do much to strengthen the bonds of loyalty and affection that find the BrltlBh and Indiana In their sovereign ruler. The real tie between England and India, comments the newspapers of Bom bay, Is still the person of the common sovereign. The Delhi Durbar will demonstrate this truth with emphasis and have an Immense effect In thrusting back the troubles and scars of the last few years. The Durbar will powerfully appeal to the oriental Im agination and anticipates an unprecedented demonstration of loyal ty and affection. The arrest of three young Bengalis at a farewell party given by the Indian com munity to Lord Mlnto, the retiring vice roy, and Lady Mlnto In the Calcutta town hall created a sensation that Calcutta has not yet forgotten. Two of the prisoners were pressing close to his excellency, when they were seized, while a third tried to gain admittance with a ticket not Issued by the committee.

It is stated that the men who opposed each other were a general who Is a member of the Prussian Diet and an administrative officer. One man was shot through the breast, and soldiers who saw the wounded man removed have been forbidden to give evi dence to the police by the military au thorities, who themselves are investigating the matter.

HAS A FEW NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS Pope Plna Aocepta New Wisdom for the Slstlne Chapel Cholera Scare Has Kept Travelere frome Home. BY CLEMENT J. BARRETT. ROME. Dec. 10. (Bpedal to The Bee.) Despite its pretensions to ' progress Italy Is among the slowest nations In the world In respect of political advancement The average Italian politician seem to regard attacks on the church, even Christianity, as the some of statesmanship. There are a few of them, however, who think there are worldly institutions which need change even radical reform. The senate Is one. There are some splendid, brilliant men In the upper chamber; Augusts Plerantonlo, who recently visited the United States, for example; but taken as a body, It Is al most as useless and as stupid as the Brit ish House of Lords. I believe that If an Idea should find Its way Into the heads of the upper chamber tbat august body would be destroyed from spontaneous cobustlon. It Is proposed to amend the Constitution of the body so as to make some members elective. New Windows la gUtlne Chapel;. Pope Plus In the Slstlne chapel recently attended the formal presentation of the gift sent to him on the occasion of his sacre dotal Jubilee by the Prince Regent Lultpold of Bavaria. It consisted of the large glass, expressly made for the twelve win dows of this chapel. These replace the older ones, which go back to the middle of the nineteenth century, and which were of opaque glass of a pale tint, and not very attractive. Baron von Guttenberg, who represented the reigning prince, made an address ex presblve of the Joy he felt In being charged to present. In the name of the prince re gent of Bavaria, the Jubilee homage which the royal family offered to his holiness In these artistic windows. The serene light which mitigated by these windows, dif fuse an air of peace and sweetness In this chapel, was a symbol of the devotional and profound sentiment which the Bavarian Catholics, Its reigning house, and he him self as their representative cherished for their faith and the bead of the church. Replying, the pope said he was grateful to the prince regent, the royal house of Bavaria and concluded by wishing to all, the blessings of heaven. Cholera foe res Travelers. The visitation of cholera comparatively light as It haa been and Is. has checked travel by foreigners and paralysed for a time the commeroe of Naples. It Is not easy to calculate the loss which this country has suffered up to the present, and still more difficult to calculate the proxi mate losses It Is likely to encounter. The tide of tourists to Rome and other Italian cities has been seriously affected, and no one can conjecture when It will resume its ordinary bulk. New African Bishopric. The pope haa announced the foundation of a new archdiocese tbat of Simla In Hindostan, and the creation of a new vicariate of Klllma-NJaro tn eastern africa. The creation of a new diocese Is recorded tn Rio Negro, Irraxll. Thus the pope says he finds consolation In the progress the church is making In the countries where liberty of worship Is better understood than in tills country. According to the concordant between Portugal and the Holy See, the patriarch of IJsbon has a formal right to receive the red hat at the first cardinalltlal con sistory following his appointment. Ambitions American Klagers. One thousand American men and women are said to be preparing for operatic and concert careers In this country. In Milan alone, their number Is 600. Before they left the slates many were favorites In concert or oratorio and not a few had given up church position at borne paying them good salaries. They left their former successes because they hope to win the greater glory and cash of operatlo stars. They are happy at their work, but keep one eye open and are looking way acroas the Atlantic to the goal of every ambi tious artist the Metropolitan Opera house.
