Th question of regency is disturbing . pome good old souls who seem to be ob 1 llvlou to the fact that the country could I Ret alonf nicely If the king should decide ' to leave the country for a few months even longer. Kins George has reached what they consider a peculiar decision. Should he continue In his present way of i thinking, there will be no regency ap ! pointed when he and the queen leave for . India next November. In the event of a demise of the king before the Prince of "Walea reached the age of 18, Queen Mary would act as regent until the young prince attained his majority. When the matter waa first mooted, It was suggested that , the Duke of Connaugiit should return home from Canada for that purpose, but it is felt to be unwise, for him to leave Canada so soon after arriving there. The name of the princess royal was then brought forward, but this nan now likewise been dropped, as ha tho other suggestion that Queen Alexander should be Invited to art as regent.

"Of all the varying symptoms of mad ness In the life of modem nations," he says, "the most dreadful Is this prostitu tion ef the conquest of the air to the ends of warfare. "It ever man presented a spectacle of aheer Insanity It Is now when, having at last triumphed in their long struggle' to subordinate1 Jo tbu y!(e'the uncon quered element.' thef , have straightway commenced, to -defile that element, by fill ing It with engine of deestruction.

For the love of the sun, and the start, and the blue ky,. that .have given us all our Inspirations since , the be ginning of time.- let us leave the air to be innocent." Shoe Hon re Bill. ' . The shop hours bill, which seeks to lighten the lot of the shop assistant, has been read a second time In the House -of Commons. It provides for a sixty-hour ' weekt exclusive for meal times and sixty hours per calendar year as limit of over time; also thn( holding of a local Inquiry where there la a demand (or early closing In any locality. There are special pro visions for Sunday trading In trades es essentlal to tho community and for one day's rest In teven. T Compel ttecoiusuendntloas. A bill presented by one liberal and six members of Parliament makes compulsory the. giving of character notes. The bill provides that every employer shall glrr to every person leaving his employment upon application, character notes In writ ing as to hi:; or her general conduct and competence Anile In his employment. This means that there will be more con fidential letters' from one mistress to an other about servants, or from one firm to another about their clerks. Copies, will have to be kept and supplied when desired. Any employer who violates the law or maliciously makes false statements in specting the character or competence of the applicant in ruch eeilifuate or char acter note, shall he liable to summary conviction to a penalty not exceeding Sl'.3. One purpose of the proposed bill is to pie vent blacklisting of cmpli yes Hi F.statrs to Be Sold. The coming estate auction sessrm will probably procure a record for the extent and value of landed property which will change hands. 1'artlcuhus of tho princi pal estates situated In all parts of Britain which one firm alone have to offer have Just been InUed, and they total JiB.000 acres. The moat extenalve'of these prop erties are In Scotland, and the largest compriaes portions uf the Menzles estates In Perthshire. A similar domain forms the south por tion of the Isle of Islay and extends to 5tV0QO acres. Ixnd Colobrook's AbinKton and Crawford estate ln Mnarkshirc, com prising 27.000 aore, are also to be sold. The Carsellach estate of 1.619.7 acres is also for sale. New Una to Be Unlit. The admiralty, by nay of replying to the fourteen-lnch naval gun lately adopted by Germany, have ordered experiments with a new gun, which la to be' a decided ad vance on the l&k-lnch with which our dreadnoughts now under construction are to be fitted. The new weapon will be be styled the lt-A gun. but will be In fact of lo-lnch diameter. The above announce ment Is of a kind to create something like a sensation In naval circles, giving rise, aa It must do, to. questions affecting the , whole policy of naval ci nti'i ut Hon.

YATICAN AT THE CORONATION Pope Will Be Properly Represented at London Function. UNFOUNDED REPORT IS SENT OUT Ancient Relics of Honaant Provinces and Old Kaaperors to Be Seen at International Exhibition In Rome. BY CLEMENT J. BARRETT. ROME, May . Special to Tho Bee.) An English correspondent here has an noyed the pope by sending out letters to the effect that the Vatican would not be represented In London at King George's coronation; that. In fact, he has been snubbed. "This report, if true and the authorities for It ought to be perfectly reliable means that his holiness will not be repre sented at the ceremony, and as the usual notification of the event has already been sent to various countries throughout the world, it looks as if the Vatican has been ignored by the British court The British Catholics here are indignant at the news.." So read the statement, which Is en tirely unfounded. The pope will send a representative to the coronation and the king has expressed the pleaaure which he will have In receiving the Roman dele gate. The pope feels more than friendly toward the English king for having the offensive part of his ceremonial oath cut out. The foremost man at the coronation, aside from the king, will be the duke of Norfolk, the marshal of the empire, noted as a very ardent Catholic and who Is the man to pick and choose the countries and institutions which will be represented. Old Roman Relics. Relics from every (one of the thirty-six province of the ancient Roman empire have been got together for the Interna tional exhibition. The exhibits illustrate every aspect of private and dvio life In the old Roman civilization. King Emmanuel's contribution is a gorgeous mosalo pavement and a superb statue of a discus thrower. . Among the many other ' exhibits are fragments of the famous Temple of Peace of Augustus and bronze ornament from the wonderful' pleaaure gallery of Ti berius, fished (up from Lake Neml. Pay nana ter Mnrdered. Brigands recently committed a foul mur der In the woods on the Albau hills. The district Is frequented by tourists, who are often attacked by the brigands. A couple of years ago the Duke of Weimar was at tacked and robbed. The brigands' latest crime Is to murder a steward named Campagnonl, who waa traveling on horseback with 13,000 to pay a squad of woodmen. He waa suddenly confronted by' highwaymen. The. steward met the demand that he should hand aver his money by spurring his horse and dash ing off. He was wounded by a shot fired after him. . . The highwaymen .then made a short cut through the Woods and waited the oncom ing horseman at a bend In the road. As the steward dashed by he waa killed. The murderers were to some extent foiled, for Campagnonl had. carefully hidden moat of the money In his boots, which the assas sins failed to search. Agrarian Tragedy. The agrarian trouble which has been simmering in Ravenna took form Jn a serious conflict between the socialists and republicans. One man waa killed outright, and several others wounded. The cause of the fight waa the jealous rivalry of the socialist and republican arganlzatlona. which tried to steal a march upon each other In winning adherents to their ranks among laborers. Meteorite Scare People. Mysterious phenomena In the air threw the people of Messina Into a state 'of ex treme agitation and alarm recently. There wax a sudden and brilliant Illumi nation of the evening sky, the cause of which could not be discovered. Later there were report that rolled like thunder. It was feared that a terrible explosion had occurred, but tttls waa shown to be groundless when news came from other places In Sicily and on the mainland that similar occurrences had been noted. It Is believed that the light and the explosion were the result of the bursting of a meteorite. Fearful Fate Narrowly Missed French Woman Was on the Point of Being- Buried Alive When ' She Stirred. PARIS. May (.(Special to The Bee.) Nearly burled alive, a woman named Unit. David, who lives near Pau, haa Just had a narrow escape from the fearful fate. She la an elderly woman, was taken ill a few days ago, and apparently died. The doc tor said she was dead and the funeral was arranged for. As the body was being placed In t,he coffin a slight movement was not iced. The "corp"e" was hastily carried Into another room and put to bed. In a couple of hours' time Mme. Pavld recovered from her death-like trance, and waa able to con verse .Intelligently with members of her family. During the state of catalepsy she waa unconscious, and Is, therefore, unaware that she had been taken for dead. Colonial Notables to Have' Big Time at the Coronation LONDON. May S. (Special to The Bee.) Good progress is being made In the ar rangements for the entertainments of representatives of the dominion parlia ment at the coronation by the lord and commons committee. One of the most important matters now under consideration of the committee is the banquet or luncheon of welcome which will be"- given to the over-sea guests as noun after their arrival in lndon as possible.

BV MALCOLM CLARKE. BERLIN. May . (Special to The Bee.) Great distress Is being caused to house wives by the remarkable dearth of domestic servants, due primarily to German in dustrial prosperity, which creates a great demand for female labor In all branches of commerce and manufactures. The young girls, many of whom are Imbued at an early age with revolutionary socialist doc trines, shun the restrictions of domestic service, preferring work In factories and workshops, with the result that the number of vacant situations in private houses ex ceeds the number of cooks and maids seek ing positions in the proportion of ten to one. Each domestic looking for a place Is sought by two competitors for her services. The girls demand big wages and get them. Servants refuse to enter a household where there are ehlldre.n and others draw the line at dogs. Girls insist on their mis tresses giving them written promises to fulfil their demands, down to the number of bottles of beer due to them every dav. One recently Insisted as a condition that she he provided with a theater ticket weekly and be allowed to ride to the theater In the family automobile. She won out. Despernte Assassin Killed. Chance bullets, a few of several hundrad fired at him, has put an end to one of the worst criminals in police annals. He had killed four men in less than a month. On the night of March 16 a watchman was shot at the' Bismarck mine by a thief. A workman named Kowoll fell, nnd.r sus picion and when he was seen a fortnight later at the Loura colliery a policeman at tempted to arrest him. But by using his revolver and at the cost of a second vic tim he escaped. Meanwhile, a reward had been offered for his cantor anri whan appeared at Josefsdorf a locksmith made a brave attempt to wing his prize. . But ho, too, was shot dead. Kowoll then went to bid arnd-hv' woman friend, buf he was observed and fol lowed and ultimately body of police and gendarmes brought him to bay. As soon a he realised the situation he whipped out his weapon and blazed away. A sergeant, father of eight children, fell dead before his unerring aim, and In the confusion he man aged to escape. Kowoll had by now picked up an old comrade named Walerus. and loter the same evening the oair irnnk.t . the door.of a miner in Rossberg and asked m coiner not only admitted the strangers, but sent out for llounr .nrf the thjae had a carouse. As he advanced u iiioiicauon, Kowoll Decame communica tive, and Informed his host that he was a fugitive from justice and tho aeain e four men. Then he banished his revolver ana declared that he would defend his freedom to the death. The miner encouraged his ) viitr. i- their potations and at last had the satisfac tion of seeing them both coll.n. floor In a drunken slumber. He then mu uim-iai. a iorce or eight gendarmes was despatched to the house, hut as the first of thm -- ... the stairs Walertls flung himself upon him and fastened his teeth in his flesh. The official was able to fire his revolver and wound his antagonist, who then relaxed ilia noia. Kowoll had meanwhll nnanai . fire from a window, and Walerus speedily Joined him.

Hlotons Scenes In n C'hajrch. There is antagonism between Pole, mil Germans In the eastern provinces and this led to extraordinary scenes at the church m ivieinKreutsch. The Germans were for merly In a majority In the district anri in consequence the bishop allowed them to have two German services to the Polish one. The Poles are now In a majority and have demanded two Polish aervW. tr. German. The bishop, a German, refused, ana me poles resolved to take matters Into their own hands. This led to the scenes In the church in question. At the close of the service It Is the eua- torn to sing a hymn. The Poles made up heir mind that this hymn was to be in i-oiisn. iney Invaded the choir and while me uerman portion of the congregation was singing a German hymn the Poles were occupied with one of their own lang uage. The priest tried to bring about peace, but failed. Regularlv days the Poles stormed the choir and sang tneir psalm. It came at last to a series of fights and the bishop decided that the church had been desecrated and it haa been closed. It seems that nothing has been decided so far In regard to the place of the ban- , quel of welcome. There will, however, be a general consennus of opinion that It ' would be held If possible, In Westminster hall, which is. Indeed, the only building in London which Is entirely appropriate to such a gathering. Westminster hall has been the scene within the laat few years of more than one historical banquet the luncheons given In honor of the officers of the French fleet In August, lOD. and to the delegates attending the fourteenth conference of the Inter-Parliamentary In Ion In July. 190S, and that given to the pr mlere of the over aeaa dominions In April, lssTT, all fresh n the memory.

There is very little crime In this country, except In the Ulster province, and that is believed to be due to .the machinations of tory politicians who have been egging on the lawless element of the Orange organi zation to deeds of violence with a view of forestalling home rule.

Dr. Nyrop, a Danish university professor, once wrote a whole volume about kUsing. He noted that, while even the stern Romans had three words for a kiss, according to the nature of the aulute, the sentimental English have one term for every sort of klas.

PAPAL PROPAGANDA UNCOVERED Officiate of Rnaalan t'horch Are In Trouble Recalcitrant Monk Deflea the Heads of the . Chnrch. BY GEORGE FRA8ER. 8T. PETERSBURG. May (.(Special to The Bee.) Religious disturbances are still frequent in many parts of Russia. The expulsion of the head of the Jesuits and other Roman Catholic sealots from Mos cow haa disclosed a hitherto unsuspected papal ' propaganda within the shadow' of the very walls of the sacred Kremlin.. The scope otthe mqvtrnerit baa led tle tuthorl-. ties to see that they are now confronted with a problem out of the ordinary. ' Since the khfetblernent Of .ifie, 'Russian orthodox establishment, owlnfe - to the re' suits of. the- f'evoliitlohk.ry movement' and -the liberal, reforms, , the .Roman - Catholic have evidently . taken .clever and prompt advantage of . this new and favorable sit uation to penetrate within the serried ranks of ven such staunch adherents of the ancient Russian -church party os the Old Believer. . Now a similar propaganda is being unearthed here In St. Petersburg, where It is stated that the Polish Jesuits have already got' complete possession of the Roman Catholic schools, and certain active agents of the order are singled out In the Novoye Vremya as further candi dates for expulsion across the Russian frontier, " " The peremptory and forcible' action against the Jesuits in Moscow Is In strik ing contrast with the weakness of the holy synod with regard to the recalcitrant monk, Iliodor, at Tsarltsm, who con tinues to defy the orders! of his ecclesias tical superiors In St. Petersburg.

The Russian government will lose no time in enlarging and Increasing the effi ciency of the navy. It has been decided that the keel of four dreadnoughts for the Black sea fleet are to be laid by the end of May. All Russia' Is marveling at the haste la which thla defensive prepara tion Is to be rushed forward and the way c which the work thus far has been ac cclnpllshed Is extremely Interesting. In the outset the peace-loving Duma was very strongly against this expenditure. Then kuddenly arose the-trouble between Rutwla and China. The subjects of the crar became Imprersed with the Importance of Increas ing Russia's naval strength and the Duma became reconciled to the Idea of four dreadnoughts. The trouble with China then disappeared as suddenly as it had arisen. People note the relations of one incident with the other and they are be ing freely .commented upon. Amundsen's Ran Brings Forth Much Sharp Criticism STOCKHOLM. May (Special to The Bee.)

In this letter Captain Amundsen apologizes fur nut' having previously communicated amendment or with such amendments only as may be agreed to by both houses.
