Judging from Lord Spencer’s speech this herculean _ef week, s are being made by the ol leaders to recon- | struct th Spencer blessed every Liberal section, but in the same breath_declared himself for Lord Rose- bery. That is the rock on which the Li erals eplit. The attitude of the former Premier will probably have more effect t election than any other cir- cumstance except the outcome of the war. | Strenuous efforts are making to bring | Lord Rosebery into' active politics again | and within the fold of recognized party | it 8o far they have met with no , as he not be persuaded to put | international policies above considerations ( affecting the empire. While he stands with the majority of the Liberal leaders | on local issues, he s bitterly at variance | upon imperial questions with a large body | of the party, especially the Forwards, or | more radical section, As Lord Rosebery | numbers among his followers Lord Spen- | cer, Sir Henry Fowler, H. H. Asquith and many other leaders, it can only be surmised that the Conservatives will put | off the election until a moment most op- | ortune for themselves and then, faced | oy the disintegration of opposition, sweep he country even more completely than at the last election. The past week has witnessed a feeble | attempt to celebrate St. George's day with the outward signs that marked St. Pat- One result was that ased in price (most of them came from France), and there was a sprinkling of flags. But on the whole the efforts to celebrate England’s palron] saint_were by no means successful. EX- cept by handling the gold coinage of the realm few people, however, have any knowledge of St. George, and in the pop- he retains only uninteresting | associations in which he is connected | with the mere conquest over the dragon | port ed on the soverelgns, which fails to awaken enthusiasm in stolid England. Complications With Turkey. American complications with Turkey continue the topic of the day. The Out- look, after declaring the Sultan and Isaac | Gordon, the notorious money lender who died recently, were own brothers in mat- ters of money, says: “The Sultan has now fallen back on the desperate debtor’s last device of buy- ing more and has offered to place an or- der for a warship with an American firm if only the American Gu\'ernmem‘wlll accord him a while longer. But® the American Govermment will do nothing of | the sort and grinly intimates that unless the dollars are Bromptly forthcoming the matter will be put in_the hands o§ the United States navy. Yet President Mc- Kinley's candidature may not, after all, enjoy immense help from a naval demon- stration in Kuropean waters, for the European powers who are fellow suf- ferers with America and Armenia are, in wholesome imitation, taking steps, to press their claims, ‘and un- der such pressure Turkey must glve way. Russla, it is true, is holding aloof, but, menaced by Japan, she is hardly likely to lend Turkey more than diplomatic help.” Puring the course of a long article the Speaker maintains that the difficulty is chiefly due to the exploitation of the Con- tinental and American press and ridicules the possibility of a serious outcome, say- ing: “The devil's shadow promises to re- bliia, punish, tax and to do & hundred things, but pay he cannot. Thereupon his vision conjured up Admiral Dewey, of all people, salling into the Mediterranean and occupying one of those ports, for the virtual neutrality of which the great European Imwers are willing to risk the chances of a great war among them- selves. It is on a par with the boycott of the French exhibition of the Don Pacifico claim.” Richard Croker will remain in England until after Derby day and neither politi- cal rumors nor personal paragraphs will alter his determination to enjoy the Eng- lish spring racing season. FLYNN IS DEFIANT. Says the Irish League Will Meet as Arranged in Newmark. CORK, April 28.—James J.

PORTE LIKELY 10 REPLY I THE NEGATIVE Answer to American Note May Be a Virtual Defiance. e It Is Believed That Without a Dis- play of Force Turkey Will Not Pay the Missionary Claims. e CONSTANTINOPLE, April 28—The United States legation has not yet re- celved the Porte's answer to the note handed to Twefik Pasha, the Turkish For- elgn Minister, by the Amerlcan Charge d’'Affalres, regarding the indemnity claims, and the impression is gaining ground that the reply will be in the negative, or even that no reply will be made. The latter alternative, however, seems to be unlikely. The general opinion is that without a dis- | play of force the Porte certainly will not pay the clalms, because it wishes to show the Moslem world that it only ylelded to force. It is not considered here that a simple rupture of diplomatic relations will render the Porte easler to deal with; but a rup- ture of formal relations is not necessary, while the sending of a warship to a Medi- terranean port would suffice to obtain a settlement in less than twenty-four hours. The same proposition for the settlement of the indemnity question by an order of a warship, in the price of which the in- demnity should be inciuded, was formerly made to France and Italy, but M. Con- smnT and Senor Pansa rejected the pro- Pposal. The newspaper critcisms and comments upon the attitude of Turkey in this affair g(r‘e L;eustnz great irritation at the Yildiz osk. WASHINGTON, April' 28.—The United States Government has not recelved the slightest intimation from any European nation of a disposition on its part to in- terfere in any manner in the present dis- ute between the United States and Tur- ey over the American indemnity claims. It may also be stated on the best author- ity that none of the representatives of the European paowers in Washington have requested the State Department to deliver itself of any explanation of its intention affecting Turkey, nor does our Govern- ment expect any interference by third parties in this matter so long as our claims are confined to their present per- fectly legitimate basis. All that can be stated by authority re- specting Mr. Griscom’s course at Constan- tinople is contained in the general declara- tion that he is pursulng instructions to insist to the Turkish Government upon a redemption of its promise to pay the American indemnity clatms. Naturally the officials decline to {ntimate what steps will be resorted to in case Mr. Griscom's re- uest is denied. They prefer to believe that the demand will meet with success. The phase to be feared Is procrastination on the part of the Turkish Government— something harder to meet than an unqual- ified refusal to pay. It is understood that Mr. Griscom. is lhflinfl his representa- tions to the Porte with special reference to_the Avoidance of this pitfall. Ferrouh Bag’, the Turkish Minister, called at the State Department this after- noon and spent-a half-hour in conversa- tion with Secretary Hay. Bevond the statement that %he indemnity clalms were the subject of discussion nothl\’li‘:fllclll could be learned of what took place be- tween the two. It is gathered that the Turkish effort is still in the direction of finding some other means of escape from the Fment situation than a cash settle- ment. Thus there g belleved to be more talk of the old pmng-mon to build a Turk- ish cruiser here and settle the claims un- der the cover of such a transaction, but the detalls of roposition, it appears t there is no attempt to deny the obli; assumed toward these claimants and em- bodied in the promises to Mr. Straus, and consequently there has been no refusal to pay the debt in some manner. eflc‘%l of byflf"'fl'fv?”f%'{‘l‘:yhr&w“dh'i"" ESe— mo; W rivin ighter.

BERLIN, April 28.—Crown Princess Ste- come an authoress. A few weeks ago an | iHustrated article by her Imperial High- Hungarian Monarchy in Pen and Pencil,’ which she edited with her husband, Crown Prince Rudolf, Princess Stephanie herself took up the a great sensation. It would be interesting even if the writer were not such a highly placed personage, for it reveals the secrets of woman's soul—all that she suffers, her hopes, fears, all the love she lost and that which she found. “When I think of the past,” Countess Lonyay writes, “I ask myself if I have lived or dreamed. When one's life has failed, deep in the heart there rises a yearning for something unknown—for something endlessly sweet, for some heaven-sent happiness which one feels. but yet which one can never reach.” She early learned the shadowy side of married life, and concerning her former husband's want of fidelity she expresses herself as follows: “In_a marriage where the husband is completely blase, both heart and soul with_time become as empty as an egg- shell.” Much surprise was expressed and it was regarded as a mere conventioual act that Crown Princess Stephanie often laid flowers on the grave of her husband, who died for the sake of her rival. But, as was to be expected, her youth made the Princess yearn for more life. Fate of- fered it to her. She writes: “It is possible I have passed thrdugh a long, long and dark night, and now the black, clouded sky is flushed with the ris- ing light and gleam of hope which pre- sages the splendor of the sun. Will it rise in dazzling beauty? Shall I bask In {ts warm beams, and will it kiss tears from my cheeks? Come, oh, sun, come. You Wil find a poor, Wretched, almost withered Tose which the hand of fate has stripped horns.” of“‘ becomes clear that she has decided on_the final step. “Two young people see each other for the first time, know each other for a quar- ter of an hour and theén utter words which bind them tll‘ death doth them part.” Her stru; ge; to realize her new life is escribed: m"“l;agenm, friends, all desert me one by ‘How often does one’s heart bleed in one. 4 to respect narrow laws of so- E:J‘Idos'convent onal morality?” The Cro Princess addresses the fol- lowing poe‘x': to her daughter: bell is softly ringing T eross i Deaceful vale' to me: 1 yould ite Aistant chimes were bringing My greel ing from afar to thee.
