HIS REASONS FOR RESIGNING | were he States That esire to m, Prince Hol Noticed a Grow Ignore BERLIN, Oct. 28,—Prince Hohenlohe, in conversation with a representative of the Assoclated Press, made some statements | tn regard to the chancellorship. Although expressing himself with great ation he cited s the principal reason for resigning the fact that he bad noticed for some time a growing desire to ignore him on impor- tant occasions. He admitted that his In- creasing deafness, especially in the left ear, had made it annoying for Ewperor William to converse with him. While Prince Hohenlohe would not say precisely what very recent occasion had emphasized this inclination to ignore him he asserted that this was the Immediate cause of his going to Hamburg with a written request to relinquish his official burdens. This, he A0, he presented in person to Emperor Willlam, who secmed astonished, but re plied that In view of the advanced age | of the prince he would not urge him to| reconsider his resignation. 1t also appears that his parting with the kaiser was af- fectionate, and that both remain on good terms. When Prince Hohenlohe returns to Berlin for the winter he intends to frequent the court and its festivities, his physiclan having urged him to this course as they consider that the total absence of excitoment would endanger his lite.

Until he was able to continue writing his auto blography, dictating to his son. He was perfectly conscious until this morning For bhalf a he had been cele- brated as a philologist, Orlentalist, scholar and author in 18 that he should be a scholar. He was born in Dessau, Germany, tho son of the well kzown poet and man of letters, William Muller. Max Muller studied in Berlin, Lelps'c and Parls and when only 3 years old was noted for his knowledge of Oriental languax: At that time he was called to England to edit the Rig Veda for the East ompany, notwithstanding that, although profoundly versed in Sanserit, Arablc, He- brew, German and French, he could not speak English. He became professor ot modern languages in Oxford University in 1854 and in 1868 he was made professor of comparative philology, the chair being cre- ated for him Dr. Muller's greatest literary work was a translation from the Sanscrit of the old est of the sacred books of India. He was also the author of a “History of Sanscrit Literature,” “Survey of Languages,” “Lece tures on the Science of Languages,” “‘Chips from a German Workshop™ and “Blograph- fcal Essays Universities conferred many honors upon the great scholar. Cambridge and Edin- burgh made him a LL. D. and Oxford gave him the title of Ph. D. The French Insti- tute elected him as a foreign member and the king of Prussia decorated him with the anclent order “Pour le Merite.” Dr. Muller in May, 1593, made a written attack on theosophy which did much to shake faith in that doctrine.

HAZLETON. Pa, Oct. 28.—The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal company, operating the Audenteld, Honey Brook and Green Mountain collieries in this district, has not yet complied with the demands of the anthracite miners. It is said that the company will grant the concessions by November 1, when work will be resumed Thero will be no resumption of work at the Milnesville colliery, which is operated by the A. §. Van Wickle estate. Owing to an agreement with the Pennsylvanla Rallroad company, the officfals say they cannot afford to grant an increase of 10 per cent and if the men return to work they will have to be contented with the old rate of wages. The Van Wickle company has granted the increase at ts other collieries at Colerain and Beaver Meadow. It Is suld that Calvin Pardee, owner of the Lat- timer mines, will not take back those men who struck before the mines were closed down by §00 marchers some weeks ago. The firemen and brakemen on the De ware, Susquehanna & Schuylkill ratlroad have submitted a number of demands to the railroad officials. The former demand that thirty hours constitute three shifts and that they be paid $7 for the samo in- stead of $5.10, which they recelve at pres- ent. The brakemen demand an increase of 10 por cent in their wages. The en- gineers have no grievances.

Waldeck-Rousseau Outlines the Policy of the Government, ANXIOUSLY-AWAITED SPEECH DELIVERED Stone of New Narracks at To me and (s Heartlly Cheered by Populnce. PARIS, Oct. 28 —~M. Waldeck-Rousseau yesterday delivered at Toulouse the anx- lously-awaited speech outliniug the policy and program of the government in anticipa tion of the reassembling of Parliament. The occasion was the laying of the cornerstone of the new barracks there. The premler left Paris Saturday and arrived at Toulouse yes- terday. He was recelved by the senators and deputles of the department. The popu lace checred M. Waldeck-Rousseau, although a few dissenting voices were heard The archbishop of Toulouse and generals of the army corps delivered an address as- suring the premier in behalt of the clergy and the army of respect for him and attach- ment to the republic Replying to the assurances of the gen- erals M. Waldeck-Rousseau said: “The army awakens too many hopes not to b cherished by the country. We are too jeal- | ous of the future of the army not to strive to have France not merely follow the prog- | ress of other nations, but to outstrip them. | We are rure our army will respond to these expectations by directing itself to its noble task and will leave no place in its rank or divisions which only weaken it. The laying of the corneratone took place | in the afternoon. M. Waldeck-Rousseau re- | erved his principal speech for the banguet | which followed the ceremonies. This was | glven by the municipality in the anclent Jacobin convent, where the banquet hall was decorated with the tricolor. Criticiams Are Anawered. He dovoted part of his speech to answering criticlsms. He sald ho had not replied be- fore because the cabinet had recefved the | widest and clearest mandate, becauso it was | time to act and not time to talk and be- cause he and his colleagues looked to the Chamber of Deputies alone for approbation or censure of their conduct. Alluding to the great demonstration of mayors in Parls, which he described as ““the most striking consecration any regime has ever received,” he said that France bad in this way shown how little it was | moved by biased accusations against the | ministry. Referring to the support which the so- clalists had glvea the government, he re- marked: “The government desired the support of those who, having always served the republic, are better entitled to defend her than those who have opposed her. Proceeding to sketch the gloomy situa tion when the cabinet took office ‘“‘with agitation Increasing and pationalism en- gnging in daily battles with the police,” he said that to face this condition a sin- cere concentration of republicans was brought about “yet not by conceding to each member of the cabinet something | which separated him from the others, but by excluding everything that tended to division and retaining all thot tended to unity. “It 18 sald,” he continued, “that we are leading the country to ruin, when really It would not be an exaggeration to say wo have saved her from ruin, Nation's Power Abroad. “While these internal events are being accompliehed,” he continued, “our position 1s being strengthened abroad, where we are supported, when necessary, by the valor of our army. Our policy has gained for us our former muthority and success We have shown ourselves determined to abdicate nothing of our rights and we are convinced that aggressive blustering has nothing in common with true patriot. ism. When the exposition opened the gov- ernment deemed that after undergoing such violent shocks the country could be left to the benefits of a needful truce. “This period of peace has been filled by glorious work. No more frultful ideas were ever agitated than come to the front in the exposition congresses.’ M. Waldeck-Rousseau dwelt on the neces- sity of enforcing discipline among state offictals. He cxpressed the hope that the budget would be voted and adverted to the projected diminution of the excise duty on alcohol, which 1s one of the leading in- ternal questions. After this he enlarged on the necessity that the Chamber should | pass a law regulating assoclutlons—di- | rected against religlous congregations. He dilated on the dangers attending the ac- cumulation by such parties of immense properties and the evil of teachings prej- udicfal to the republic, declaring that “the existence of such a rival power within | the state comstitutes an intolerable situa- | tion which demands an immedlate solu tion." CHURCHILL STANDS PAT Winston Spencer Will Not Withdraw or Apologize for His Recent Statements, LONDON, Oct. 20.—The solicitors of Mr Winston Spencer Churchill have written to the solicitors of the earl of Rosslyn, de- clining in the name of Mr. Churchill, either to withdraw or apologize for Mr. | Churchill's recent statement that the earl | of Rosslyn in letters and dispatches from South Africa to London papers had libeled British soldiers and had made assertions | that were nothing short of falsehoods, | This morning he writes to the Daily Mail repudiating the suggestion that he fs moved by personal feeling against Lord Rosslyn, but pointing out that the earl 18 responsible for a “libelous statement concerning four famous cavalry regi- ments."" After saying that it Lord Rosslyn will frankly withdraw the alleged libelous statement, he (Mr. Churchill) will be the | first to regret that hard words have been | spoken.

ANXIOUS TO SHOW ITS POWER Japan Papers Satisfied with Marquis Ito's Promotion and Want Strong Forelgn Poliey. YOKOHAMA, Oct. 9.—(Correspondence of the Associated -Press.)—The accession of Marquis Ito to power has been received by the native press generaily in a spirit of cougratulation, espectally 1c'vlew of the rix- ing feeling that Japan just mow needs its strongest man at the helm in order to enable it to mssert its rights. The Influential pupers are clamoring for a strong forelgn volicy. They favor making the most of Japan's expanded armament in holdiug the balance of power in the Orfent. It ls felt that the Chinese difficulty has demonstrated that the western powers are essentially weak because they are not here and cannot get here In anything like powerful force. Japan being on the spot with its army of 500,000 and its powerful navy can easily dominate the situation, especially if any one of the strong western powers will join hands with it. RUSSIANS ARRIVE ON TIME Diacovery of the Many Mines at Mak- den Prev Deatruction. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 28, sappers who were employed to.dig out and destroy the mines at Mukden, official dis- patches say, found the whole district mined and it was ouly the unexpected arrival of the Russians that prevented wholesale de- struction. A special commission was ap- polnted to investigate. The advices also say that the provinctal treasurer escaped and that the Chinese guerrillas had been looting extensively, their booty including the Munchu throne, extensive libraries and colossal archacological objects, all of great value.

Certainly not | since the night on which the awful tragedy oceurred untll the news of his pardon have the citizens been so stirred up and all are outspoken in condemuation of Governor's Poynter's outra us conduct. The cold- blooded murder of Matthew Akeson and the attempt on the lives of the entire family for money canuot be forgotten and when & mAn. | without regard for the family he attempted to murder, the citizens of the county state, fn disobedience of the law he sworn to obey, deliberately pardons a crim fual such as Kearns and then has the nerve to ask for re-election to the office of gov crnor he should receive such a chastisement At the polle that the lesson will be one no successor will ever ask to have repeated. In the same herald that announced that Hon W.J. Bryan would speak in Weeping Water Governor Poynter was also billed. There were a number of people present tha wanted to hear the governor explain a few things, but the governor did not come. He knew that Cass county sentiment was against him. Tom Akeson, the son, whose remembrance of Kearns dates back to that night of the murder when he grappled with his as- sallant when a revolver was pressed against his body and his life wns saved becauso of the failure of the cartridge to explode, Is Ieaving nothing undone within his influence | mzainst Poynter. Mr. Akeson lives in Mount Pleasant precinct, about six miles from Weeping Water, and only recently remarked to The Bee correspondent that when the votes are counted in his precinet * u will notice the poor showing Governor Poynter makes." Sentiment Strong Against Poynter. But Mr. Akeson fs not confining himselt to home, but 1s using his influence the county over. Your correspondent has inter- | viewed a number of citizens in this vicinity regarding Poynter's action in pardoning John Benwell Kearns. Just here it might be stated that we belleve thers is not a single person in the community who up- holds Poynter and it is safe to say, without regard to party, that the news of Poynter's defeat would cause no tears to be shed | among his former staunchest eupporters Following are some interviews: R. G. Clizbe—I think it an outrage. I don't think the governor is altogether re- | sponsible, but his action fn this and the fact that the politicians seem to pull him so easily makes him an unsafe man for office. Constable R. D. MoNurlin—I am golog to vote for Mr. Dietrich for governor. I think Poynter's action in pardoning Kearns simply rotten. W. H. Pool, insurance agent, says: “In a circular letter Governor Poynter makes an effort to justify himself in the Kearns par- don case by getting behind the certificates of the warden and prison physician, and tells us the governor is accustomed to ignoring our law governing pardons. The legislature passing the law placed this duty at the gov- ernor's door, subject, ho T, to law. Sec- tlon 065, Criminal Cod reads ‘The gov- | ernor ghall have power to grant after conviction, for all offences except trea- son, but after notice shall have first beon given for two weeks of such application for a pardon by publishing the sald notice fn & newspaper printed In the county where the conviction was had, which notice shall state name of applicant, the offence of which he was con- victed, in what court and when convicted, |and the time when the application was | made.' All parts of this section of law ap- | pear to have hecn fignored by our governor, | 8 no notice w.atever was given to the peo- plo of Cass county as the law requires. Cass | county has at least ten newspapers, and long after Kearns was safe on Canadlan soil we people in @ roundabout way learn that the murderer of our old cltizen is safe in the queen’s dominion north of us, no application ever being made to our governor, no notice glven to Cass county, and now the governor in & circular fnsults us with the statement that he has no excuse to make for ignoring our law." Poynter is Very Wrong. Dr. Thomas—My opinion is that Poyn- ter did very wrong. 1 do not blame him as much as Leldligh and the doctor in at- | tendance, who, probably recelved money for securing Kearns' pardon, but the gov- ernor should have inquired into the matter more fully and for that reason is not a it man for the office. A. 1. Ralston—I believe the governor did | wrong and think there was boodle used. | £ W. Orton—I blame Governor Poyn- | ter for not inquiring into the matter moro | fully and also for not complying with tho | law. If the people of Cass county had been apprised of his {ntention to pardon Kearns they would have all, regardless of politics, strenuously objected. Leldligh and the prison doctor no doubt duped the governor, but that does not excuse Poynter. Kearns | was sentenced for lMfe, not to be turned 100se among honest citizens. Mayor Butler—The pardon of Kearns | | under the clreumstances shows Poynter to | be & weuk tool in the hands of his friends | The fact that he completely ignored the people and the law covering his act should be impressed on the people. By all means | let us have a change. Neglect to punish criminals to the full extent will cause many communities to take the law into their own hands.
