Crook Are I'lentlfnl.
Confidence trick swindlers are at present
numerous and Scotland .Yard officers are
taking special measures against them.
Gangs have lately arrived from the conti
nent of America. The principal haunts of
these crooks are the larger West End
hotels, the various exhibitions and all the
principal resorts where wealthy visitors
congregate. They have already begun
operations,, and for some days past com
plaints have reached the police authorities.
une oi tne latest victims is a weauny
Anglo-Indian tea planter staying at a
select hotel In tho West End. He has been
swindled by two "confidence" men out of
a big sum of money and by methods that
a village crook would use In starting out
on a career as a confidence man.
Caustic Colonial Critic.

women lead 'society, American Journalist
guide the public, French dressmakers set
the fashions, v foreign painters and
musicians direct our taste, American prices
rule the financial market, Frenoh chefs
dictate what we shall eat and American
collectors fix the value of our art treasures.
It appears that between them lay the talc
ing of John Bull by the horns."
Kitchener In Favor.
Lord Kitchener's appointment to a very
high post will be announced Immediately
after the coronation. It Is said he will
not accept It, considering the post beneath
his dignity. .
This ts the latest story about ' Lord
Kitchener. Talking over his schemes for
the Gordon college at Khartoum, he ex
pressed 'doubts as to whether the money
could be raised. He was told his name
would be enough, and one sum of $5,000
was offered him across the table, fol
lowed Immediately by other prbmlses of
help and support of at least two news
papers. Still, he hesitated, repeating. "I
should not like to fill."
At iast. one of the company said: "Well,
Lord Kitchener, If you bad doubted about
your campaign as much as you do about
this, you would never have got to Khar
toum." "Perhaps not," said he, "but then I had
myself to depend on; now I have got the
British people"

BT MALCOLM CLARKE.
BERLIN, June 24. (Special to The Bee.)
After all thero may be a royal union be
tween England and Germany. Is the out
como of the Kaiser's visit to be the en
gagement of tho prince of Wales to his
daughter, Princess Victoria Ixulse? The
difference of age, bno or two years, Is
not Incompatible with prolonged happiness
when the pair have such long lives ahead.
The fact of the Kaiser Inviting the prince
to come here for his first foreign visit
gives color to all gossip. On the ether hand,
there ran be no question that the two
young people were not particularly thrown
together. At tho military tournament they
were seated at opposite ends of the box.
It is quite possible that If Princess Louise
were to become princess of Wales she
might win the same enthusiastic popular
ity as Queen Alexandra evoked when she
came, from Denmark. The sunny, lively
temperament of the German princess is tike
that of her father at his best, but distilled
by the Influence of her own attractive fem
ininity. Irons Prince Has Kick.
The German crown prince has been "kick
ing" against orders removing him from
this city to Dantzlg to take command of
the Black Hussars. The "Lokalanselger"
published an extraordinary article evi
dently Inspired, exhorting him In parental
style to recognise the advantage of being
able to pursue his military duties freed
from the trammels of the Imperial court.
The prince dislikes military routine. When
he returned from his far eastern trip he
showed no disposition to rejoin his regi
men, ,.but rather sought to act as under
study to his father In spectacular speech
making. The emperor promptly ordered
him to Dantzlg, and that set the crown
prince and his entourage grumbling.
KKtrnslon of Insurance.
The Imperial Insurance consolidation and
amendment bill has Just been passed by the
Reichstag. Apart from reforming organiza
tion and administration the main results
of the new legislature are, first extension
of sick insurance to agricultural and forest
laborers that have-hitherto been provided
for only by the separate legislation of
certain states to home workers and to
casual laborers; and secondly, a modes,
beginning of insurance ot widows and or
phans. It Is estimated that the extentlon
of sick insurance wll Include about 7,000,000
persons previously exempt. The govern
ment estimates . the cost of the extentlon
of sick insurance and the Introduction of
Insurance ot widows and orphans at about
S33.9SO.000 of which $27,100,000 will coin
from- contributions of employers and em
ployed, and the balance of $,&, 00 will
come from Imperial subsidy.

Release for Ena"lish Spies. J
When the trraU concluded ot Captain
Trenchand and Lieutenant Brandon, the
two British spies who were convicted and
sentenced in connection with the Borkuc
Incident, It was. generally anticipated that
the period of their confinement in the fort,
resses to which they were sent would ter
minate before the coronation. This, If the
gossip In the military clubs if correct, Is
now assured, and It Is believed that the
recent visit of the Kaiser has had a very
definite . bearing on the question of the
release of the officers.
Kaiser Gives Consln a Title.
A military Journal announces the promo
tion of England's king to the rank of
general field marshal, the highest rank in

Mad Klii Grows Worse.
Though physically as robust as ever, the
mental condition of King Otto of Bavaria,
la declared to be growing worse. Secluded
from the outside world In his castle at
Fursteinreld, the king's only visitors are
doctors who visit him at stated Intervals,
In order to report to the government and
the regent. No one else enters his presence;
even his mother Is prevented from seeing
him. lie spends hours In dreadful melan
choly, his eyes fixed on the door, seldom

Politics in Germany Turns on
Attitude of Alsace-Lorraine
. BERLIN, Juno 14. Comment upon the
adjournment of the Reichstag on May SI
centers chiefly around the rather strained
relations between the chancellor, Herr von
Bethmann-Hollweg and the German con
servative party, growing out of their dif
ferences over tho constitution for Alsace
Lorraine. This party, controlled - In the
main by the old Prussian nobility, regards
tho constitution as a humiliation for Prus
sia, since the three votes of the new state
In the federal council can never be counted
to assist Prussia in securing a majority,
but they do count If cast against It.
In practice,' however, It Is unthinkable
that Prussia should incur any disadvantage
from this arrangement, since Its king ap
points ths governor of Alsace-Lorraine;
and the latter will nominate the new state's
representatives In the federal council and
Instruct them how to vote. Nevertheless,
the conservatives hold the chancellor re
sponsible for having put a grave affront
upon the dignity of Prussia by proposing
this feature of the constitution.
Another point In the constitution awak
ened their stern opposition, that of univer
sal, equal suffrage. The government had
originally proposed to correct the possible
evils of a too democratic suffrage system
by giving the citizens additional votes upon
reaching certain agea; but In the course
of he committee proceedings on the bill
It was found impossible to get a majority
for this, and the government surrendered
It and accepted Instead a completely demo-

COPENHAGEN, June H- Special to The
Bee. Stockholm has , been the Mecca to
wards with the eyes of the suffragettes of
the world have been turned during the last
few days. The congress of the Interna
tional Woman's Suffrage Alliance was held
In the Swedish capital and women who have
fought for the franchise In practically every
civilized country In the world were In at
tendance to- hear reports of progress made
and to outline plana for future work. It
was a great gathering of brainy, earnest
women. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of the
United States was one of the moat notable
figures at the congress. She said after the
adjournment: ... . .
"I wish every opponent of woman's suf
frage could pay a visit to Norway, Sweden
and Finland. When they saw the effect of
the enfranchisement of women In those
countries no argument would be needed. If
they were at all open to conviction, to con
vince them that In the Interest of humanity
women should be given the right to vote.
Norway particularly offers complete refuta
tion of evjsry argument against woman aufx
frage."
In Norway, by the way, the women have
not given up the struggle for complete
equality with men. After the Norwegian
women have obtained the suffrage, as
members of the Storthing, they are now
trying to usurp man's last privilege, vis.,
acting as clergymen. This has caused dis
union In church circles, the bishops being
against the proposal, but the Chrlstlanla
university's more liberal theological fac
ulty favor women taking orders.
The attitude of the head of the church
council was made known when he refused
the request of an American "clergywoman,"
Mrs. Shaw, who asked for leave to preach
in a church at Christlanla.

which the humblest citizen can find time
to go to the polls.
This feature of the constitution and the
election law adopted at the same time
gave great offense to the conservatives,
who do not believe in universal suffrage.
But the most serious thing they have
against Bethmann-Hollweg la that he
passed this law with the assistance of the
socialists, and ' actually negotiated with
them to obtain their support.
In the midst of this shower of hostile
criticism came the emperor's telegram to
the chancellor, specifically praising him
for having passed the Alsace-Lorraine bills
"In the face ot many difficulties and in a
way corresponding to the Interests of the

! ROME. June 24.-Speclal to The Bee.)
Italy has' a peculiar legal system, but pun
ishment Is punishment In this land and a
lifo sentence Is very- dose to One. Here Is
a case in point:
After having served forty-nine years In
prUon several brigands have been released
from convict settlements. Among them Is
a Calabrlan brigand' chief, Antonio Gatto,
who entered the "profession"-when IS, be
cause he had deserted from the army and
wished to avoid arrest. Gatto subsequently
headed a famous band of bandits who had
their headquarters in the Monte Gargano
mountain 3,468 feet In height near Foggla,
and the seat of a historic pilgrimage to a
sanctuary In memory of the apparition of
St. Michael to Archbishop Lawrence In' 491.
Gatto'a men subsisted mainly by despoiling
pilgrims. For years they held out aga'nst
all armed expeditions, but finally surren
dered to Major Blxlo, who deceived them
with the promise that they would suffer
no further penalty than the fulfillment ot
military service. Gatto was sentenced to
hard labor for life. Now on the score of
exceptionally good conduct he Is liberated
and given $100 to start life anew.
v Pope Stops n Salt. "
An Immense Impression has been pro
duced by the Intervention of the pope In
the action for libel brought by Father
Erica relit against Verdesl, an ex-priest and
now a Methodist, who charged him with
violating the secrecy of the confessional.
The pone's Intervention has taken the form
of a letter written to Father Brlcarelll ex
pressing sympathy with htm In his afflic
tion owing to the accusations of Verdesl.
His holiness stated that he was convinced
that Brlcarelll had not violated the secrecy
ot the 'confessional.

The pope reviews the material and moral

not mean separation, but spoliation of

Italian Jubilee Celebration
Shows Triple Alliance Break
ROME, June Si. The celebration of the
Jubilee of Italian Unity, with the exhibi
tions In Rome and In Turin, has empha
sised the strangeness of the situation be
tween Italy and Austria. Emperor Francis
Joseph and the governrSent of the dual
monarchy, alone of all ths rulers and great
powers, have sent no representation to the
Italian celebrations and It has been only
In the most recalcitrant manner that Aus
tria has participated In the International
Exhibition of Fine Arts here, while It was
the only nation which did not take part in
the Exhibition of Industries and Labor ot
Turin. i
This is significant when one considers
that Vienna and Rome have been allied
as members of the triple elHanoe for nearly
thirty years. Nor can It be said that Aus
tria's attitude Is Inspired by a desire to
spare the 'feelings of the Vatican, as Aus
tria In 1870 was the first country to con
gratulate Italy over the fall of the temporal
power, and the. relations between the Aus
trian government and the Holy Bee have
been, recently, strained. The attitude of
Austria Is dus to the ancient antagonism
between the two countries, which Is reach
ing a more acute stage now that the health
of Emperor Francis Joseph Is failing, and
ths reins of the dual monarchy are prac
tically la the bands of ths orowa prince,

purposes In writing. According . to the
creed of these peasants, the writing down
of their names Jeopardizes their chances of
salvation, for it Involves the curse of the
anti-Christ, enabling him to set his seal
upon them.
During the whole of this time the Cos
sacks have kept their Identity absolutely
Intact. They speak a Russian dialect,
bearing the same relation to the language
of the present day as does our modern
English to that of Chaucer. They wear
the Russian dress of three centuries ago,
and even grow herbs, uncultivated' else
where In Anatolia, ' to make the dishes
that were ' the food ot . medieval Russia.
Called On to Fla-ht.
A few months ago this little band of
Russian exiles found themselves suddenly
faced by the same danger that threatened
their anoestors In the sixteenth century.
The Turkish government, having decided
to call upon Its Christian subjects for mili
tary service, demanded the enrollment of
these men of the community who were of
age, and again they were In danger of the
seal of anti-Christ.
This time a split occurred among the ex
iles. - The young1 ' men urged that since
they could not avoid the enrollment,' It
were best to serve In Russia among their
kindred, but the older men were In favor
of remaining. The arbitration of the Rus
sian consul in Constantinople was Invoked,
and through ' his agency funds were ob
tained from the Russian government to
enable those who wished to do so to re
turn to Russia, leaving the rest to live
on, a tiny ethnological Island among the
races of Anatolia. There are about 1,500
of them.

v.-. Seven People Murdered.
. A dreadful sevcn.fold , murder, h,M . oc
curred at trie 'Russian village Of Sboroict.
Recently It occurred to the neighbors of
the place that nothing had been ' seen of
the Inmates of a villa belonging to a
wealthy man named Schastok, and, sus
pecting that all was not right, they broke
open the door. In the entrance hall they
found a man servant, bound and wounded,
.while In the various rooms were lying the
corpses of the ' owner and his wife, two
ladles who were staying in the house as
guests, and three maids, all with cloven
skulls. 1 ,
The apartments were bespattered with
blood, and everything of value had been
removed. The man servant related that In
the night four masked men had broken
Into the house 'and' made their way Into
the bedrooms of the, women, whom they at
once butchered with axes, with the excep
tion of Schastok's wife.
While they were engaged In this carnage
Schastok himself appeared, but was Im
mediately felled with a couple of hatchet
blows. His wife was then assaulted by
two of the murderers and also slaughtered
In the same manner. After systematically
plundering the house, the miscreants were
about to make off when they noticed the
man servant,' who had been hiding behind
a partition. They bound him hand and
foot and gave him a blow on the head,
which rendered him unconscious. They
then decamped, leaving no traces which
are likely to lead to thoir discovery.

The old emperor has witnessed during
his long reign greater political and family
cataatropblea than any other living sov
ereign, with the exception, perhaps, ot
King Manuel of Portugal. He went from
the defeat of Sadowa to the loss of Lom
bardy and Venetla,- from the Incurable In
firmity of Empress Elizabeth to her murder
by an anarchist, besides that yet unex
plained tragedy which led to the death ot
his only son. Archduke Rudolph.
Such a succession ot sorrows Induced the
venerable monarch to be strongly opposed
to his country participating In any con
flict, and the one which might have been
the most probable was avoided through the
alliance with Italy and Germany, and tbe
great respect that the aged ruler Inspired
throughout Europe. Hti successor will not
command the same influence, so that tbe
disappearance of Francis Joseph may have
a capital Influence. In the foreign policy
of Europe, It being doubtful that he will
maintain the present attitude of-submission
to Germany, while his tntranslgeant cleri
calism may revive In Austria the "Loss
of Rome" movement, and cause a rupture
with Italy, which would not please even
the Vatican, as Plus X Is averse to any
event which might revive an acute stage
between church and state In Italy, as ts
proved by his mild attitude In connection
with the present eelebratlona of Italian

' PARIS. June 24.-(Hpeclal to The Bee.)
This city Is now engaged In an attempt
to solve the problem ot .providing 'homes
for the people who cannot . stand the ex
actions of the landlords. There are loud
and bitter complaints over the steady rise
of rentals.
M. Brunet, who represents a district
chiefly Inhabited by the working class, will
lay before the Municipal council a proposi
tion for rtie raising by the city of a loan
of SW.000,000 with a view to the erection
of houses on sites which can easily be
obtained and whloh will afford healthy
quarters at reasonable rentals. M. Brunet
points out the expediency. of such 4 course,
as there are more than 6.000 houses In
which the death rate from tuberculosis
alone amounts to about 7 per cent of the
Inhabitants.
Population of Paris.
The census of the city gives the popula
tion of Paris that of the city within forti
fication as 2,847,000, this being an Increase
of a trifle Over 124,000 since the' oensua ot
11)06, due. mainly to the Immigration of
provincials and foreigners.
Dr. Bertlllon gives us some figures
which show that In 1292 the population of
Paris, which was then a smaller town,
was about 200.000. 'In the - eighteenth 'oeh
tury ' It showed a steady - figure of 600,000;
that Is to say, up to the outbreak of the
revolution. In 1801 It had risen to 647,000.
In 1851 It was a little over 1.000,000, but
ten years later It had reached very nearly
1.700,000. It passed the figure ot 2.000,000
In 1881. when the score was 2,269,000. If the
suburban townships were included In the
census the total would be a little over
4,000,000.

Bis; Prise for Aviators.
The latest aviation prise offered, though
one which will probably take a long time
to win, Is that proposed by the counsel
general of Algiers, which has voted to
give $50,000 to the first aviator who carries
a ton of war' material 800 odd miles. The
motion was proposed by the vice president
of the council, and It is to be called the
Berteaux prize. In honor of M. Berteaux,
the late minister of war. The flight must

The capture of four masked men who
broke into a villa at Bry-Sur-Mame with
the Intention of robbing and murdering
Madame Delorme, 80 years old, and her
servant has gives rise to a curious "re
constltutlon," as it is called, of the al
leged crime. The four men were conveyed
to the spot In the clothes which they are
supposed to have worn. One of the men,
securely handcuffed, wore a top hat and a
magnificent overcoat, with gold spectacles.
Another of the quartet wore an Impeccable
blue suit that might have been made by
the best tailor. Otherwise he was also Im
pressive, being handsome and almost "dis
tinguished" In appearance.
As the police wagon drove up before the
villa and the examining magistrate and po
lice officials stepped out and accompanied
the party of burglars to the villa the two
women Inside had almost as great a fright
as on the night of the attempted crime.
At last, when the magistrate threatened
to have the gates opened, the mistress
ordered the servant to open the gates.
The masks were then put on the prisoners.
They were made to ' take up the various
positions In which they are alleged to have
been seen and the occupants of the villa
positively asserted that they were the men.
The outlnes of each were exactly the same
as what they had seen and they also Iden
tified their voices.
