ROME, Sept. 6—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—Great excite- ment has been caused in Rome and all over Italy by the announcement that the pope has asked for estimates of the cost of repalring the Apostolic palace of the Lateran in order to render it habitable for the Papal court. Everybody is com- menting on the news, as It shows the evi- dent intention of Plus X to escape at last from the prison of the Vatican and venture again through the streets of Rome, notwithstanding the Itallan occu- pation. The Lateran palace is one of the four pleces of property which the Itallan gov- ernment did not take from the pope at the time of the ocoupation of Rome. It adjoins the Church of St. John, the oldest n the Eternal City, and some of the offi- cers of that church have apartments in 1t, among them Cardinal Satolli, the arch- priest, who ocouples a magnificent suite of sixteen rooms, beautifully furnished. This palace used to be the city summer residence of the popes before the Quirinal pulace was restored at the beginning of the Present century, but since 1810 the papal apartments have been turned Into a museum of anclent sculpture, open to the public several days in the week. The Lateran palace is at present in a rather dilapidated condition and it will take at least $600,000 to make it a fit resi- dence of the papal court. Basides the Lateran and the Vatican palaces, the Holy Bee possesses the palace of the Cancellaria, which is now used as the seat of all the Roman congregations, and the beautitul villa of Castel Gandolfo, a short distance from Rome, which is now ooccupied by monks, to whom the late popa granted its use. ¢ It is significant that no large gardens adjoin the palace of the Lateran, so that it Plus X decides to live thero he will ©of necessity take his walks and drives in or around Rome.

He stated that the new pope made a great impression on him as the most striking combination of frank benev- olence and impressive majesty. He ap- peared even more handsome than the pub- lished portraits of him, because of his boundless benevolance, stmplicity and cor- diality, which seem to light up his whole ocountenance while he is speaking. Plus X told Archbishop Harty that he well knew the tmportance of the mission confided to the latter by his predecessor and expressed the hope that Catholicity would make as rapld strides in the Phil- ippines as it had done in the United States. He added that he was sure that the new {l:hbl-hw would find valuable co-opera- n from the United States authorities, ‘with whom he hoped to maintain the greaty WINES ARE MOSTLY DOCTORED United States the Dumping Ground for Inferior Article from Europe. (Copyright, 193, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Sept. 5.—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—Dr. Willey, chemical expert of the United States gov- ernment, as a result of officlal Inquiries here, has satisfled himself that only a small proportion of the European wines sold in America are genuine. Dr. Willey gave the following statement to the World cor- respondent “The American government will probabls have to pursue practically the same pollf as the British government under the mep chandise marks act in order to secure im- munity from fraud in the importation of forelgn wines. The English markets, be- fore that enactment, were flooded with French wines bearing false labels. The most competent wine expert in London told me the United States was the dumping ground for all kinds of inferlor, mislabsled wines that are so unmarketable In Europe. These wines are not only usually of poor quality, but are sold under names which add fmmensely to their selling value. The investigations o far made tend to show that & large part of the wines coming to our ports under the name of the most val- ued brands are open to the gravest sus- plefon, In fact the English expert gave his opinion that only a very small percentage 1s genuine. Thess wines are blended at Bordeaux and in other parts of Europe and imitate to some extent the genulne products of the Chauteau. Bince most of our wines are from France, it Is evident that most of this blending is done in that country, although other countries are not without sin. To stop these practices the United Btates will have to exercise the greatest vigilance through the ald of competent ex- perts stationod at the principal export ports, such as Bordeaux, Rhelms and Mayence. These experts, in connection with our con- suls, will have to inspect each involce and seo It contains no falsely labeled wines. The congress of the United States and the legislatures of the several states should en- act such legislation as will prevent changing labels or falsely labeling after im- portation. The Sherman act partially safe- guards this point, but it nesds some amend- ment to make it efficaciou: MAY LOSE THE ROYAL FAVOR eror's Favorite to Impersonate Great-Great-Grand- mother.

She has signed a contract to impersonate the emperor's great-great-grandmother, the Glorlous Empress Marla Theresa. She will play for forty nights in Vienna. She has never lost her hankering after the stage, and once she signed a contract for an Amegican tour, when she would have played Mme. Pompadour, but she was In- duced to give up that tour and renounce playing what would have been rather a compromising part.

(Copyright, 198, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, Sept. (New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—Two eminent German physiologists, Dr. Rolf Wichmann and Dr. Adolf Birham, have arrived at German Race Dete: est cordiality. He also reminded Mgr. Harty some instructive results from inquiries con- that| cerning the prevalence of bad sight and the mission of the church was one of|,orvous disorders among women students peace and that the most atrenuous efforts of the hierarchy ought to be directed to the pacification of the flock cenfined to thelr care. He then imparted the apostolic blessing to the new bishop and to the peo- ple of the Philippines. ‘Don Glovanni Battista Parolin, arch- priest of Possagno and & nephew of the pope, has just been promoted to the dlg- nity of wpostollc prothonotery, with the title of monalgnor, and the insignia of a bishop. On the election of & new pope it is customary for the sacred college of cardinals o ask the elevation to the gardinalate of any nephew or brother the new pope might have in sadred orders, out of compliment to him and his family. The same was done for Cardinal Joseph Peocl, Leo. XIII's brother, and wil| also be done at the next consistory for Mgr. Parolin. As he Is still very young (3) it is probable that his promotien will be postponed for a time at least. Finds Life Expensive, Mgr. Parolin has lately been to Rome and lodged at the Vatican, where he was much with his uncle, Pius X. He told your correspondent how hard the new pope finds it to become accustomed to his new sur- roundings. He complaina that even during his walks in the gardens he is never left slone, but Is always accompanied by sev- eral persons. He finds that there are in the Vatlcan too many cooks (four) and servants, | and that one of the latter would be sut- | ficlent for his needs, while, as to the cook- ing, he would prefer his niece, Ghilda, to keep house for him and furnish him with | meals more suitable to his simple tastes. Mgr, Parplin, also said he heard one of the Vatican prelates say: “We shall never have peace until all these Venetians have Teturned to their provinee,” which indicates how the many employes of the papal court fear a swoeping change In the office of the Vatican. o At the recent reception to the French ambassador to the Vatican an autograph letter sent by President Loubet was pre- sented 1o the pope, who seemed much im- pressed in reading it, and, owing to the Tecent attitude of the French government against the religlous orders, the reception of such a letter has caused much surpris It 1s now asserted that, during his coming wvisit to Rome, Loubet will be recelved at the Vatican and that all arrangements bave already been made. Plus X, even before his elevation to the papacy, was heavily insured in the General Insurance company of Venice. The com- pany has now agreed to carry the same amount at the same rate, notwithstanding the increased risk caused by his new posi- tlon. At the coming consistory, it is semored, Mgr. Merry Del Val, at present acting secretary of state, will be made a cardinal | wnd it is the intention of Plus X to give him the position occcupied by Cardinal i 5 (Contnued en Second Puge.) and teachers. Forty-two per cent of the women teachers have to wear glasses, a against 10 among women not so employed and 3 among male teachers. Agaln, 40 per cent of the female teachers are affiicted with nervous disorders, while among men similarly employed only 17 per cent have nervous complaints. Long hours and fll-ventilated rooms are held to be the leading causes of these com- plaints among women, but the result of these investigations has given considerable encouragement to the growing opinion in Germany that general deterioration of the race must follow if women's employment be not carefully chosen.

PARIS, Sept. 6.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—A Teport comes from Clermont-Ferrard that during the maneuvers advantage was taken by troops in firing volleys of blank cartridges to send real bullets whistling about the ears of un- popular officers. One instance Is speclally cited where the colonel of the Ninety-sec- ond regiment, surrounded by his officers, narrowly escaped being killed while on a little eminence close to the line of fire. In- vestigations were made and the matter is being hushed up, the officers giving out stereotyped denials, only admitting that several rifies were loaded by mistake with ball cartridges instead of blapk It is well known that during the war of 11870 French soldiers took this means fre- quently to disembarrass themselves of un- popular martinets and stmilar instances are | post and will be published in Hong Kong not wanting during Napoleon's wars.

PARIS, Sept. 5.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—~The French press continues to ask if it shall be “menottes ou camisole” (handcuffs or stralt-yacket) for Jacques Lebaudy. Le- baudy arrived on Thursday in Hamburg in the small steamer Ascan Woerman, trav- eling as Baron Emery. It is sald that dur- ing the voyage he interested the captain of the vessel in his schemes and that the cap- tain will return to take charge of Fras- quita. On arriving in Hamburg Labaudy im- mediately disappeared In an automobile and his whereabouts 1s unknown, but it is un- derstood he is sending emissaries through- out France to recrult familles as colonizers for his Saharan domain, making brilliant money offers, including life insurance, to secure colonists. It is not belleved that he will dare to enter France personally. The French crulser Gallee is returning to Toulon with five of the crew Lebaudy de- serted. In his latest interview with the World correspondent at Las Palmas Lebaudy sald: “In the first place, my men would not have been captured if they had not been cowards. I explained to them that they were engaged for warfare; they surren- dered where I, thelr emperor, would have died fighting. I offered through my secre- tary of the royal household, to the authori- ties at Havre, to help the families of the men captured, but, receiving no reply, I am absolved from my responsibility. I have been criticised for proceeding with so small an expedition in spite of my millions, but I had already been accused of homicide through !mprudence and would have been treated as a pirate if I had taken arms and had men killed after an exchange of shots with the Indigenes. As for my labllity in suits for damages by their familles it is nonsense, for if they brought such suits it would prevent my employing more French in my empire. “Employment has its risks in my mines and in my sugar factories. Men are injured dally, but I pay no damages.” Lebaudy then proceeded to draw a com- between himself and Cecil Rhodes, nied sim{lEuda. between his Baharan incursion and the Jameson raid, saying the latter was directed against a civilized na- tion and a power friendly to England; be- sides, Jameson had been condemned only by the Transvaal and not by England.

Forel contradicts the assertion of the German commission that hysterical per- sons can only be injured by the practice of hypnotic suggestions. ified and conselentous physiclan can only do good to such patient, he asserts. His action will not weaken the patlent's will power, but strengthen It by suggesting work or tresh Ideals of life. Forel says, in conclusion, that there is absolutely no ground for the German spe- clallsts' contention that the suecess of this method of treatment has decreased since the helief in its supernatural charae- ter has vanished. Exactly the reverse is the case. The German commission is up in arms and is preparing a rejoinder to Prof. Forel. ‘AMERICAM PAPER IN ORIENT Story P New: es to Start a er in Hong Kong.

This tiny princess, who may play so large a part in the destinies of nations, is already remarkable for charac teristios largely at variance with Romanoft traditions.

What- ever disappointment has been felt from that day to this, not a ripple of it has clouded the joyous existence of the osar's helress.

The coun- ell of wi has recommended sending an immediate ultimatum to Bulgaria, but the sultan has decided to walt. It is rumored that Turkish troops have already crossed the Bulgarian frontier, without a declara- tion of war. The members of the corncil of war wers up all last night at the Yildiz kiosk and designated Edhem Pasha as commander- in-chief. The Turkish press is_printing inflam- matory articles against Bulgaria. The Turkish government, according to information received from the Foreign office by the Associated Press, has notified the powers that the porte cannot guarantee the safety of the legations at Constantinople. This extraordinary statement was com- municated, without explanation or qualify- ing detalls, in response to an inquiry as to whether German marines were among those United States Minister Leishman reported as having been landed at Constantinople. It is inferred here, however, that the con- ditions at the Turkish capital are not so bad the sultan’s notification would tmply, but that the legations have been warned to look out for their own safety, the porte disclaiming, in advdnce, responsibility for any disorderly agt,. . .- Situation Becomes Acute.

TO MAKE DASH FROM NORTHERN CAMP Eskimos and Eskimo Methods to Be Used on Prospective Trip. SPEND TWO YEARS IN HIGH LATITUDE Commander Expects to Reach Pole and Return to Winter Quarters Within Three Months from Time of Start. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—Commander Robert E. Peary, U. 8. N,, the well known Arctio explorer, will make another dash for the north pole. Leave of absence of three years has been granted him, with the per- mission of the president, by Mr. Darling, acting secretary of the navy, and he has been casured of the hearty sympathy of both these officials in his new venture. In his letter of application for leave of absence Commander Peary briefly outlines his plan of action. In a sultable ship built in one of our best shipyards, reinforced and strengthened to the maximumdegree and fitted with American engines, “so that she may go north as an exponent of American skill and mechanical ability.” Commander Peary hopes to start with his expedition about July 1 next. Upon arriving at the Whale sound reglon he will take on board a large number of Eekimos and establish a permanent base at Cape Babine. Thence he will force his way northward to Grant Land, where he hopes to establish winter quarters on the northern shore. As far as pradticable along the route he will establish caches. The following February, with the earliest returning light, he will start due north over the polar pack with a small light picneer party and fol- lowed by a large mcin party. Plans of Explor In his letter of application to Acting Becretary of the Navy Darling for leave of absence Comander Peary says: 1 should expect to accomplish the dis- tance fo the pole and return in aboute100 days, or a liftle more, an average travel of about ten miles a day. Returning [ should break the ship out late tn the season and return home. If ice conditions the first year were such as to prevent reaching the northern shore of Grant Land I should winter far north as practicable, and" force the ship to the desired location the following i In this event the expedi- tion would' be gone two years. Distinctive features of Commander Peary's plan are the use of individual sledges with comparatively light loads, drawn by dogs; the adoption of Eskimo methods and cos- tume and the fullest utilization of the Eskimos themselves. Commander Peary belleves the ad- vantages of his plan and route are a fixed land base 100 miles nearer the pole than any other route; a more rigld ice pack, extending further poleward than is found on the opposite side of the pole; a wider land base on which to retreat, and a well- beaten line of cofimunication and retreat from winter quarters to comparatively low 1atitudes, which Is practicable at any sea- son of the year. Darling Enthustastie, Acting Secretary of the Nayy Darling, a close student of arctic work and an en- thusiastic believer in the ability of Amerl- can pluck and daring to find the pole, say in his letter to Commander Peary granting him three years' leave of absence from April 1, that he thinks he is better equipped than any other person in the country to undertake this work. He paye a high com- pliment to Mr. Peary's courage and ability. He concludes his letter with this admoni- tion: The attainment of the pole should your main object. Nothing short will fice. The discovery of the poles is all that remains to complete the map of the world. That map should be completed in our n- tion and by our countrymen, If it Is imed that the enterprise is fraught with danger and privation, the answer is that geographical discovery in all ages has been purchased at the price of herofc cour and noble sacrifice. Our national pride involved In the undertaking, and this de- partment expects that you will accomplish Your purpose and bring further distinction to & service of illustrious traditions. In conclusion I am pleased to_inform that the president of the United 8t sympathizes with your cause and approves the enterprise, Aretie Club tg Give $150,000. In an Interview tonight Commander Peary said that the expedition would be made under the aufpices of the Peary Arctis | club of New York, of which Morris K. Jessup Is president. The club will finance the expedition to the extent of $180,000, which is $60,000 more than the cost of the last trip, which occupied four years. Upon his arrival at Whale's Sound, where he says he is well known, Commander Peary will try to induce some Eskimocs to ae- company him 175 miles north snd there the base of operations will be located. That will be 4% miles from the pole. From this base he expects to take another parly ofgr the mountainous ice to a point be- tfen the 830 and 85th degrees, where ho will establish another base. A ploneer party will he sent out from this lattor base to catch walrus and other food to be in resdiness for himselt and party of twenty-five upon their arrival, after which, the dash to the pole will be made. Comaldering Court-Marti Tho court-marttal cazes in which the dis- missal of the accused officer is involved are under conslderation by the judge ad- vocate of the army. One case is that of Lieutenant Hamilton Foley, Fifth cavalry, cently stationed in the Philippines, who was cohvicted of finuncial delinquencies and sentenced to be dismissed. The second case ia that of Lieutenant Louls Hamilton, Fourteenth infantry, also. stationed in the Philippines, convicted of conduct unbe- coming an officer and a gentleman, and sentenced to dismissal. The cases will be forwarded to the president for final de- ciston. p The War department has pyublished a de- clsion of the controller of the currency in which he holds that any portion of the opganized militla which shall engage - in actual field or camp for Instruction, and the organized militia of any state or ter- ritory that shall pariitipate in any en- campment, maneuvers and’fleld instrue- tion of any part of the regular army at or near any camp or post, lake or sea coast defenses of the United States, are entitled to pay, subsistence and transpor- tation allowances for thie entire period from the time when such militia shall start from their home rendezvous to the time of their return to thelr home rendezvous.
