PARIS, Sept. 20.—(New York World Ca- blegram—S8peclal Telegram.)—Consterna- tlon has been created among the clericat anti-republicans by the pope's utterances upon the re..glous troubles in France. Ac- cording to Cardinal Rampolla, Pope Leo sald: “The politically inclined Catholles in Fraoce too often have forgotten recently moderation and sound sense. We regret he obstinacy of Catholics who confuse politics with religion and always entrust their legitimate claims to those parties op- posing a republican government. We re- Prove also the sterile and disgraceful agi- tation which is being substituted for legal action. Such things as fighting the officers of the law in order to retain congregations legally expelled, refusing to pay taxes, etc., are based upon anarchistic principles which the Catholic church cannot encourage.'” Aside from the question of principle, the pope aleo considers recent rebelilons ex- tremely bad policy, feeling sure that when the Chambers next meet the republican ma- Jority, being irritated, will refuse a resi- dence and authorization to many orders, which, never having exerted themselves In any secret political action, would otherwise have remained unmolested. The call {ssued by the clerical press to boycott Switzerland, Jersey and Guernsey because of measures passed by their respective counclls forbid- ding the expelled French congregations to sottle there, has fallen perfectly flat, de- epite a most fervid campaign. ARCHBISHOPRIC OF CHICAGO Dr. Spalding of Peoria is to Have it and Keane Will Not Be o ted. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) ROME, Sept. 20.—(New York World Ca- blegram — Speclal ram.) — Father Braudi, who was at one time theologian to Cardipal Gibbons, made the followlng, im- portant and decisive statement to the correspondent concerning the al: desire ofy ibe American hierarchy and clergy to be transferred from the juris- diction ‘of the propaganda to that of the wvatiean, on the ground that such a step would raise the status of America from that of a missioary country and place it on the level with the other great centers of catholicity. Father Braudi eald: “This question first came up for dis- cussion when Cardinal Satolll assisted at the opening of the Catholic university in ‘Washington. He thought, as the Am an hierarchy had been established a century, it was entitled to be placed on a par with the Buropean hierarchies. Cardinal Gib- bone took a vote of the episcopacy on the point with the unqxpected result that seventy-two out of elghty archbishops and bishops promounced against the proposed ehange. ‘he American hierarchy and clergy en- Joy many privileg 0 long as the United Btates remalns under the jurisdiction of the propaganda which they are not dis- posed to sacrifice for the barren aureola of being treated like the Latin countries that are subject to the direct supervision of the boly see.

This was a foregone conclusion, as Bishop Farley's name was at the head of both lists supplied by the episcopate and clergy.

At 5 o'clock the four big trains arrived and the others followed in rapld succession. At 9 o'clock a hot and elaborate breakfast was served, with seats at nice tables for the 700 circus people. Bvery tent had been erected meanwhile and every seat mounted. The costumes had been uhpacked and 400 horses stabled, curried and fed. The general staff de- clared that even the crack regiments of artillery could hardly duplicate the per- formance. In order to test this the Thirty-sixth regiment of fleld artillery was ordered out of barracks, and the guns, horses and all were ordered to en- traln and detrain. Many faults in the tactics were pointed out to the officers by Mr. McAddon, the general superinten- dent of the circus, and Mr. Bailey him- self. The suggestions were thankfully received by the generals, who had a stenographer taking down thelr remarks, to be later embodied in a report to the minlster of war. The staft were served with supper in the circus dining tent, after - which they recelved a practical demonstration of American agllity. The wholo oircus, where vast multitudes were entertained during two performances, was pulled down, entrained and sent away to- ward the next town in three hours.

ROME, Sept. 20.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Bpecial Telegram.)—The Count Bon Martini murder is now monopolizing the attention of all Italy. It recalls in ita horrid cruelty and depravity the his- toric tragedies assoclated with the Italian tyrants in the dark ages. Oount Bon Mar- tint, a wealthy nobleman, married Zodo- linda, the handsome, well-dowered daughter of Prof. Augusto Murri, a medical man of European celebrity. Zodolinda is & typlical Itallan, passionate and ungovernable, and even at the time she was married to Bon Martini, though only 19, she had developed a morbid taste for sensational and vicious literature, obtained for her by her brother Zulllo, a medical student, known in Bologna as a young man of singularly dis- solute character. Zulllo's influence over his sister was always exercised for evil, and after her marriage he did all in his power to estrange her from her husband, having also got their father to prevent her mar- riage to & young friend of his own, with whom she had fallen in love. Zodolinda, in her strength of mind and surroundings and propensities, scems to be the reincar; tion of Lucretla Borgla, as plctured by some of the mediaeval chroniclers. She had numerous admirers after her marriage, and twelve months ago her husband, a patlent, forgiving man, separated from her. She had two children, but Bologna rang with storles of her amours, and she was literally a public scandal. Prof Murri never rested untll he broughi about an apparent reconcillation between his daughter and her husband, and with the children the couple went together to Venice for the summer, After a few weeks the trouble broke out again in the house- hold and Bon Martini resolved to settle in | Padua, tn the hopes of removing his wife trom bad influences He left Venice the 25th of August and deposited a large sum of money in the bank at Padua, intending but he is now paying the price in a gouty attack.

It cost particular triends, but the tradesmen who obligingly gave him unlimited credit during his minority. Except the champagne, which cost $9 a bottle, the dinner was not extrs ordinary, although the coffee #as accom- panied by 1805 liquor, brandy at $1 a glas: Clgars costing $1.50 each were liberal provided. All the leading music hall artis of London did turns between 10 p. m. and | 4 a. m., while entertainment was also pro- vided by jugglers, instrumentalists, dancers and vocalists. There were three plano a companists and the fun kept golug furi- cusly until after dawn. Young Robinson's tuture career will be awaited with pathetic interest, as he swears he will spend his fortune in eighteen months.

LONDON, Sept. 30.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—The fitth su cide atributed to the influence of Marle Corelii's novels was reported this week from Wincanton, Somerset, where Edward Gosse, 19 years of age and the son of a clergyman, hanged himself after reading “The Mighty Atom.” He bad dressed himself father's cassock and placed & wooden cross on his chest, while the prayer book, open at the burial service, lay on the dressing tablé.

Three days later the other in- mates of the house, suspecting something, broke into Bon Martini's apartments and found him lylng on the floor in & pool | of coagulated blood. His throat was cut and there were seventeen dagger wounds on his body. The apartment was in dis order and some feminine wearing apparel was found, giving the impression which | Zulllo originated, that the count had been murdered through jealousy over some disgraceful intrigue. No clue to the mur- derer could be obtained and Zullio, atter de- faming his brother-in-law broadcast, sent & wreath to his funeral and then disap- peared. Suspicion was aroused when the police received a letter from Prof. Murri stating that Zulllo had committed the mur- der to avenge his sister, who accused Bon Martint of ill-treating her. .Inquiries then elicited not only abundant proots of Zul- llo's mad hatred and jealousy of his brother-in-law, but he had also been in great moneiary difficulties, having tried through the instrumentality of Dr. Naldi, a man of evil repute und a gambler, to gt a loan of $1,000. Naldl was himself with- out means until the day after the count's disappearance, when he paid some debts and left hurriedly for Genmoa. It is now known that the countess sent the key of the count’s house to Zulllo from Venice and he, with Naldi, who has confessed, lay in walt for him. While Zulllo pinioned the victim, stifiing his cries, Naldl in- flicted several death-dealing blows with & large knife. They then robbed the mur- | dered man and coolly arranged things to make it appear that the count was the vietim of a gullty intrigue. It was found that the countess had 'telegraphed Zullio tidings of her husband’s movements and of the money she imagined he had with Bim and the climax of the semsation was reached w was arrested at her father's house as an accomplice fn the diabolical affair. Since her arrest she has abandomed the pose of & be- reaved widow and adopted an attitude of revolting cynicism. Zullio is still at lar but it is believed he is in Bologna, while Naldl was trapped after valnly attempt- ing to hire as a surgeon on an American- bound ship from Genoa. As a revelation of callous brutality as well as incredible moral degradation the story of Zodolinda and Zullio could not be excelled.

SINGLE HAS A PASSION FOR ELOPING 4 Duke Has His Fourth de and s Disowned by Caar. Russian Gr Ensca (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Sept. 20.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—The four cap- ' Paris, Berlin, Vienna and St. Peters- burg, are excited over the Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovitch's elopenfent with the beau- tiful wife of the distingulshed Russian en- gineer, Pistelkorst. This is the Orand Duke Paul's fourth runaway match. First from Vienna, he took the young sister of a distinguished court lady a few years ago and brought her to Paris, whence seven months later he eloped to Monte Carlo with the wife of Count de la Rive, a poetess, well known on accoumt both of her beauty and her red-hot verses. The countess, who has often been called the French Blia Wheeler Wilcox, left the grand duke and procéeded further east in the company of one of the prince of Monacos alde-de- camps. Alexandroviteh returned to the Russian court and made his peace with the czar, who had forbldden the country to his gay relative. Two years ago Paul Alexandrovitch was sent to Berlin on a sgeclal diplomatic mis- slon. He induced the wife of one of the forelgn ambassadors to forsake her husband and three children and follow him te an ignoble retreat in Italy, where the couple remained completely hidden for three months. The woman then went alone to Berlin, secretly saw her children and com- mitted suicide in a hotel there the same day. The czar agaln forgave him, but the fact that the grand duke was forbldden an entrance to the Russian embassy in Paris when he arrived here yesterday is inter- preted as a positive Intimation that the czar will disown all family connection after t escapade. Pistelkorst has been special fa- vorite of the czarina, Who oried bitterly when told the news. A telegram received here from Alglers to- day reported that the Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovitch, a coustn of the czar, who arrived at Algiers on board the Russlan im- perial yacht Standart, attempted to commit sulcide with a revolver at the hotel where he was staying, the dlepatch said, with a Russian woman. A later dispatch, however, gives the true story, mccording to which Prince Viadimir Troubetsekol, who is an officer of Standart, after drinking coplously in company with a woman friend, tried to shoot himself, but was mot hurt.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 20.—'‘Roosevelt day" at the Cincinnati fall festival broke all records of attendance at these annual car- nivals. The president was kept on his teet and busy for over twelve hours with the exception of the time at the noon luncheon and the evening banquet and even then he was engaged in discussing matters of public interest with the guests of honor at his table, After the meeting the presidential party was driven to the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton depot, direct, and their special train left at midnight for Detroit. The party will be joined in Chicago by Becretary Shaw, Secretary Wilson and others for the north- western tour. Catastrophe Narrowly Averted. The unusually successtul celebration of the day came very near being marred to- night with a panic that would have caused a countless loss of life. It is estimated that there were over 8,000 people packed into the auditorilum when the president began speaking. At the same time the adjoining exposition halls were crowded with people viewing the exhibits as they were unable to gain admittance into the music hall. After the president had been speaking about fifteen minutes there was a great commotion in Mechanical hall, ad- Jacent to Music hall on the north. The sparks from an electric light wire had set a curtain on fire and the fire department had been called to the sceme. The police and attendants of the exposition eoon put out the fire, but they had much more trouble in controlling the alarmed erowd and it was with great diffculty that Cap- tain J. B. Foraker, son of the senator, and one of the officers of the day, headed off the fire department from rushing into the bullding. Happily one of the bands struck up and (hose who left the auditorium were supposed to be golng out to stop the band rather than to head off a panic. Very in the auditorium where the president was speaking knew anything about the Inci- dent and the president suffered only a ing what ditortin and all of the standing room about the exits were packed with people as well s the great balcony and the gallery. Had there been a cry of fire or any knowledge of what was going on among those In the auditorfum the fatal results could not be estimated. President Roosevelt spoke in part as fol- lows: Today I wish to speak to you on the sub- ject or group of subjects which we mexn When we talk of the trusts. The word is used very looeely and almost always with technical inaccuracy. Evolution, Not Revolution, In dealing with the big corporations we intend to proceed, mot by revolution, but by evolution. We will accept the facts, declining to have our vision blinded either by the folly of those who say there are no evils, or by the more dangerous folly of those who either see or make belleve that they see nathing but evil in all the existing | system and who, If given thelr way, woul destroy the evil by the simple process of bringing ruin and disaster to the entire country. The evils attendant upon over capitalization alone are, in my judgment, clent to warrant a far closer supervi- sion and control than now exists over the great corporations. Wherever a substantial monopoly can be shown to axist we should | certainly try our utmost to devise an ex- pedient by which it can be controlled. A remedy much advocated at the moment 18 to take off the tariff from all articles which are de by trusts. To do this it ¢lll be necessary to first define trusts. Th anguage commonly used by the advoc of the method {mplies that they mean all articles made by large corporations, and that the changes in tariff are to be made with punitive intent toward these large corporations. Of courge if the tarift is to be changed fn order to pumish them, it should be changed so as to punish those that do fll, not merely those that are prosperous. ' It would neither be just nor expedient to punish the big corporations as big corporations; what we wish to do is to protect the people from any evil that may grow out of their existence or mal- administration. Some of these corporations do well and others do fll. If in any case the tariff is found to foster a monopoly which does ill why of course no proteetion- ist_would object to a modification of the tariff sufficlent to remedy the evil. But in ve few cases does e so-called trust reaily monopolize the market, Further- more, the products of many trusts are un- | rotected, and would be entirely unaffected y any change {n the tariff. or at most very siight The Standard Oll company offérs & case In point and the corporations which control the anthracite coal output offers another—for there is no duty what- ever on anthracite coal. The trusts ean be damaged by depriving them of the bene- fits of a protective tariff, only on condition of damaging all their smaller competitors, and all the wage workers employed in the industry. This point is very important «nd it {s desirable to avold any save willful misunderstanding. I am not now consider- ing whether or not, on grounds totally un- connected with the’trusts, it would be well to lower the duties on various schedules, elther by direct legislation or by legislation or treatles designed to secure as an offset reclprocal advaniages from the nations with which we trade. My point ls that changes In _the tariff would have little ap- preciable effect on the trusts, save as they shared in the general harm or good pro- ceeding from such changes.

PACKEHS SEND TO TRANSVAAL London Reports that American Meat Companies Will Start Represent. atives Sonth This Week. LONDON, Sept. 20.—“The extortion of the American beef trust” continues to be a fruitful theme for the English press. The British government is roundly abused for its refusal to open the ports to the im- portation of Argentine live cattle. There is no question that the consumer in Lon- don is paying 10 per cent more for beef than a year ago. One official of the Swift company declares that the price is due to the shortage of the American supply, and, contrary to general belief, he says his firm has frequently sold meat in Lon- don this summer below what it costs in Chicago, as the English would not pay be- yond a certain price. He added: “So far as the Argentine business is concerned the closing of the ports to live South Ameri- can cattle does not matter a particle, be- cause more refrigerated beef has been shipped from Argentine this vear to Eng- land than live and refrigerated meat com- bined during any previous season.” It may also be mentioned that the Amer- s [fcan packing houses are preparing to en- ter the South African fleld. Preparations were making in London this week to send representatives to the Transvaal.

QUOTES EXTENSIVELY FROM MKINLEY Defies Anyone to Detect in it a Leaning Toward Revision, THOUSANDS HEAR AND CHEER THE IOWAN He in the Principal Magnet tor Great Rally at Mason Park—Hender- son’s Resignation is Not Mentioned, CHICAGO, Bept. 20.—As an opponent ot tariff revision and as an advooats of reol- procity, Secretary of the Treasury Lealle M. Shaw spoke to a great crowd in Mason park tonight. The secrotary vas the magnet which drew thousands to the republican rally, and although he disappointed many in that he did mot refer to the Henderson {ncident, he evoked applause in his treatment of the tesues which were so closely knlt into the resignation of the speaker of the house. A point which seemed to find favor with the crowd, was that offered by Secretary Shaw, when he quoted from the last spoech of President McKinley, and defied any one to find {n the entire speech anything that would indicate that Mr. McKinley had the faintest leanning toward tarift reviaion. Other speakers at the meeting were Con- grossman Foss, Boutell and Mann. In part, Mr. Shaw sald: “Under a protective policy we have bullt up our manufacturing interests until now our factories turn out more in value than all the shops and ail the factories of any other two countries on the map by more than $3,000,000,000. We have now a surplus of manufactories as well as food products and the all-important question confronting us s what shall we do with it? For the more common articles of manufacture, 1tke iron and steel and glase, and the product of the loom and the spindle, we need more markets. In fact, we must have them, for if the ability of our people to consume should be materially checked elther by pro- Tong us tarfl agltation or by failure of crops, we will be céntronted with & surplus, and labor will again seek employment in vain Noi Advocating Free Trade, “It 1 have made my premises clear the conclusion fs irresistible. I am not advo- cating opening our markets to the unre- stricted trade of forelgn countries. That must never be so much as thought of. I am simply making as strong an argument a I am able to formulate in favor of swap- ping trade privileges. “Under the provisions of the Dingley bill in treaties were prepared and signed during ‘McKinley's first term. They have not been ratified. Before referring gen- erally to the merits of one or two of these treaties T want to call attention to the fact that the republican platform has declared in favor of reciprocity and the then president authorized these treaties. No one sup- poses for & moment that Willilam McKinley Q1a this without knewing of thelr contents and without approving them in detail. “Next I want to emphasize the fact that the last speech made by that hero and statesman was his first and preliminary speech preparatory to an aggressive move- ment in favor of their ratification. I doubt It a speech was ever misrepresented as much as that one has been. The opposi- tion papers throughout the country seized upon it as a declaration in favor of tariff revision. There are not three consecutive sentences that permit of such a construc- tion. He said: ‘If perchance some of our tarifts are no longer needed for revenue or to encourage and protect ouf industries at home, why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad? He does mot say why ehould they not be removed—thrown away. What he does say 1s, ‘Why should they not be employed to extend and promote our mar- Kets abroad?” You cannot employ them by removing them gratuitously. He e plains how. ‘Reciprocity treaties,’ he says, ‘are In harmony with the spirit of the times.” Reciprocity treaties are the means pointed out by Willlam McKinley for us- ing these ‘no longer needed tariffs to ex- tend our trade abread’ That is the whole import of that speech, and In it he gave notice that he proposed to use every hon- orable means to secure the ratification of those treatles. Cites an Instance, “I now want to refer to just one of the sev- oral treaties. Take the one with Argentina. The treaty provides that the United Statés shall admit the wool, the hides and the sugar from Argentina at the rate of duty 20 per cent below the regular Dingley tarift and 1o considerstion of this reduction Ar- gentina is to give us 60 per cent reduction from her regular tariff schedules on canned salmon, lobsters, corn, succotash, tomatoes, apples, dried and evaporated fruits, parafin wax and wind mills and 20 per cent reduc- tion on bacon, oatmeal, cracker wheat and hominy and other cereal foods, and on cer- tain kinds of twine and cotton rope. We are also to have certaln advantages on a large number of manufactures of wuod Similar treaties were drawn with otber countries. Under the Dingley bill 20 par cent reduction might be allowed under treaty duly ratified. In other words our minimum tariff under the Dingley act is 20 per cent below the regular schedule. The minimum tariff in France differs on differ- ent items, but amounts to about 30 per cent less than thelr regular tariff rates. Franse has given a number of countries the advan- tage over us in her markets. The only way we can get equal concessions 18 to give her some little concession in our market."” TO END THE WAR IN HAYTI Provisional Government Taking Bn- fe Steps to Re on the Island. re Or PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, Sept. 20.—The provisional government of Hayt! is taking energetic steps to end the civil war in this republic and it 1s the general impression that this official activity is due to the re- ports which have reached here that under certaln circumstances the United States might be compelled to intervene for the purpose of ending the strife. ) Government forces, divided (ntd three columns, are now on their way to Gonal the headquarters of the Haytlan rev tlonists.
