Combes’ strength is not due to the pending law suppressing all forms of congregational teaching, as his majorities have been steadily main- tained on that question, but the diffi- culties are mainly due to socialist measures for workingmen’'s pensions and employment agencies. There is lit- e doubt that Foreign Minister Del- will remain in office, as he is con- dered to be the strong man of the party and his recent treaty acquire- ments are regarded as placing him among the first statesmen of contem- porary France. ——— POPE PIUS’ NAME DAY IS LOVI NGLY CELEBRATED Pontiff Receives Congratalatory Ad- dresses and Telegrams From Parts of Italy and Abroad. t th TEE WEATHER.

Action of the British Fereign Minister, Lord Lansdowne, Fleases the Officials at Madrid —— MADRID, March 14 here that the British ( declined to negotiate with garding Morocco until France will com- plete arrangements concerning Moroc- coan affairs with Spain. In conse- quence of “is negotiations to the lat- ter end have beer at Paris and Madrid, but no sion can be expected for some time. Hence when the pending Anglo-French treaty is publfshed it will be found that the status of Morocco, so long one of Europe's most thorny problems, re- mains unghanged. The action of the British Minister, Lord Lansdowne, in assur- ing Spain that Morocco will not be al- lowed to enter into the Anglo-French negotiations until Spain shall accept the French proposals has created keen satisfaction in official circles ‘and is regarded as strengthening Spain’s po- sition both in spheres. ceeding with the object of trying to reach an agreement in regard to what is neatly termed the degree of “pacific penetraton” which the res ers shall be granted in their industrial invasion of Morocco.

'S PRESIDENT SENDS MESSAGE TO ROOSEVELT Admiral Dewey Conveys Palma’s Ex- pressions of Chief WASHINGTON, arch 19.—Admiral Dewey, who returned yesterday from the naval maneuvers in waters, called on President Roosevelt to-day to present to him a personal | message of good will from President Palma of Cuba. The admiral told the President that the people of the new republic were notably prosperous, and that both President Palma and the Cuban people attributed their prosper- ity to the Government of the United States.

She was jury, convicted and sentenced to twen- ty years. —_——— Steel Company In Hands of Receiver. | NEW YORK, March 19.—The As- toria Steel Company, a corporation owning a half million dollar plant at Astoria, L. I, has gone into the hands of a receiver. The proceedings were institutéd by creditors. the Pontiff received congratulatory | addresses and telegrams from all parts of Italy and from abroad. The mem- bers of St. Peter's Club, which in- | cludes the whole of the Roman ecleri- cal society, as is their custom, pre- sented the Pope with a magnificent basket of the most carefully selected fruits and flowers. The basket rep- resented a Venetian gondola. The Pope, in thanking the givers, made a most touching reference to “his beloved Venice,” adding: “I pray I shall prove a good helms- man for the bark of St. Peter.” More than 30,000 persons gathered in St. Peter's Cathedral to 'listen to the te deum sung by Cardinal Rampol- la in honor of the Pope’s name day. In the Belvedere courtyard, inside the Vatican, a festival was held in which the high dignitaries of the papal court took part.

Realizing that offensive naval opera- tions are Impossible under present con- ditions, it is belleved that no oppor- tunity will be neglected to repair this initial misfortune, even should it in- volve considerable risk. Consequently the report that seven Russian warships were sighted .the other day off Gensan creates much speculation here as to whether they could Be.the vessels of The number of ships sighted apparently does not tal- ly with that of the Vladivostok divi- | sion, which properly: consisted of four | fast cruisers and the transport Lena. It is learned, however, that the out- break of hostilities found two ‘ships of the volunteer fleet.at Vladivostok,-and there is reason to believe that these have since been fitted out with guns taken from mountain-batteries. It is possible that the ships sighted were those of Captain Reitzenstein, whose object, if he ventured so far from -the coast, could hardly be anything ex- cept to slip into Port Arthur, If this is true, it is calculated that the squadron must have already run the gauntlet of the Korean Straits and be very close to Port Arthur. In accordance \with personal orders from the Emperor, the English lan- guage is now being taught the Impe- rial Page Corps. The lessons began this week. Staff orders issued'at Harbin, which have just arrived here by mail, show that Chinese troops have moved much farther north than was supposed, Gen- eral Tincheng having concentrated 8000 nten at Dodune, which s only 100 miles west of Harbin; General Ma hav- ing 10,000 at Kaupantz, while another 5000 are at Tzemintun and 10,000 at Ichau, all points bordering upon : ‘the zone of Ruselan military operations. These staff orders are significant, in- asmuch as they lay stress upon - the holding aloof of the Chinese officials in Manchuria, the civil Governor at Mukden having forbidden the Chinese to supply cattle, food or fodder to the Russians. The Governor of Haicheng, although administering the affairs of a town situated on the railway, is said to have ordered the people not to ac- cept Russian money, and, according to native reports, he is organizing Boxer bands. The native ‘Governor of Kirtn has issued a proclamation enjoining the ohservance of the strictest neutral- ity, but he refused to withdraw the troops in the neighborhood until im- peratively ordered to do so by the Rus- sian headquarters. . MUKDEN, March 19.—So far every- thing is quiet here. Lizhts can be seen at“sea nightly off Newchwang. From Port Arthur the enemy's fleet can sometimes be sighted. YINKOW, March 19.—The” Russian authorities notified foreigners at New- chwang to-day ,that they were for- bidden to.pass the ¢ity walls or'to g0 to the Russian railway station or the fort. Foreigners are allowed to visit only the gunboats of their own na- tions. Twenty thousand men are quar- tered in the villages between Fuchow and Newchwang and ten thousand more are expected. The Russians were intrenching themselves between the fort at the mouth of the river and the town. ST. PETERSBURG, March 20.—The Government has forbidden the trans- mission of all cipher messages through- out Russia and also abroad. It is a military measure. The report that the Government had purchased the German steamer Kaiser Friederich II1 {which was built for the North German Lloyd line, but failed to meet the speed requirements) is un- true. The Emperor yesterday inspected a carload of “little comforts” that had been collected and prepared by his daughters, Grand Duchess Olga and Grand Duchess Eatima, and their Ylaymates for wounded Russian sol- diers. His Majesty caused the children much delight by the interest he man- ‘itested in their work. Later the Em- peror spent two hours in going over.the dispatches regarding the movements of troops and the plan of the cam- paign. PARIS, March 20.—The Tokio cor- respondent of the Matin says the Jap- anese Cabinet has held a meeting for the discussion of important matters of finances. During the past two months, it is said, $12,500,000 gold has left the country. According to the advices to the Rap- pel from its Shanghai correspondent, the Japanese navy is utilizing an in- strument invented by a British en- gineer, by means of which the slightest sound proceeding from an enemy's ves- }‘Thirty Thousand' Russians Defend Town of Newchwang.

R i s WS [UNITED STATES MAKES APPEAL.ON JAPAN'S BEHALF WASHINGTON, March 19.—Russia | Will” be “asked by the United States to itreat kindly the Japanese non-com- batants who have been left in Siberia and to enable them to make their way back to Japan. Kogora Takahira, the Japanese' Minister, called 'at the State Department to-day and informed the officials ‘that he had received reports that between forty and fifty Japanese non-combatants - were in'a suffering condition in several Siberian towns. The Minister requested the Washington Government to use its good offices to assist ‘the Japanese to reach Berlig where the Japanese Minister will take them in charge. The State Department acted promptly and a cablegram has been sent to Mc- Cormick, the American Embassador at St. Petersburg, inviting him to call the attention of the Imperial Government to the subject, in the confildent hope that the Russian officials will take im- mediate steps for the relief of the Japanese, To a press representative Minister Takahira said to-night: I was not at the State Department yesterday nor at Secretary Hay’'s resi- dence, but I was at the department to- day and handed to Mr. Loomis, the Assistant Secretary of State, a note re- questing the United States Govern- ment to use its good offices to see that the Japanese residents in Siberia, who are “destitute and desire to return home, shall be sent to Berlin, where my colleague will take charge of them.. “I made this request because of his telegram received here, reporting that two Japanese subjects, who arrived at Berlin a few days ago from the in- terior of Siberia as delegates from a large number of Japanese still living there, reported to him that they were boycotted and not only had they found it impossible to earn a living, but were suffering great privations.

He has confessed to three. Five years Naronovich killed pretty Eva Dametrea, in Wrabatz, . Austria, because she refused to mprry him Her three brothers vowed vengeance and sent word to their two brothers in this country that the murderer should be hunted down. He was at work near Bingham, Utah, when one of the brothers came across him'and notified the officers. It apvears that Narono- vich, after killing his sweetheart, fled where he committed two other murders on December 20, 1903. The vietims were Rade Vidovich and Tony Calovic. The murder occurred at a dance in South Chicago. Narono- vich immediately returned to his na- tive land and there killed Nicholas Gagula, who had been his rival for the affections of his girl victim. Then he came back to this country, seeking the West to hide his identity. But the brothers of the girl pursued him and yesterday one of them ran him down near this city. The prisoner denies that he killed Eva, declaring that she committed suicide. He admits, though, that he murdered the men in Chicago | and his rival, Gagula. —e—— FALLING DERRICK BREAKS LEGS OF ARMY OFFICER Major Bingham Severely Injured While Superintending Work of Hoisting a Launch.

Boom for New York Judge Is Based on the Belief That t'e Will Have Backing of His State — . s Special Dispatch to The Call WASHINGTON, March of the 19.—Fearing Hearst-Bryan the Democratic Na- ntion, which it believes might mean the loss of the State of New York, the South has started a landslide for a conservative candidate. This has been demonstrated by a ¢an- vass of the majority of the Southern States through their representatives in Congress. In the Senate the senti- ment, in so far as it is for any par- the ascendency combina n tional Conv in ticular candidate, is for Senator Gor- man; in the House, Judge Parker is far and away in the lead. The only explanation given for the Parker boom is the bellef that New York will in- struct its delegates for Parker at the April convention and nearly all the Southern Democrats are band wagon statesmen. They want to be with the winner. It is clear that Parker is be- ing used to keep the delegates away from Hearst and Bryan. It does not follow that the South will be solid for the New York judge, but he has a tremendous lead. What is particularly luminous and indicative of the change of sentiment ‘n the South is the solid demand for a conservative. Parker or Gorman, say numerous Senators and Representa- tives; Gorman, Parker or Cleveland, say others. The willingness of the Southern Rep- resentatives to take Gorman as second choice indicates that there will be a strong sentiment to give the Mary- lander a boost if the signs are favor- able. . But a willingness is also manifest to take even Cleveland if there should be a sentiment among the Democrats of | States en: ieer in charge of the Buf- | New York that he would be the strong- | falo office, was badly injured in an ac- | est man.

We therefore have decided to have them sent to Japan. “It is not unnatural that in time of war there exists between the people of belligerents a degree of enmity, but in my opinion it is a notable feature of the present conflict that since its out- land had no friends in the South, and vet a canvass shows that there is a very long list of Cleveland supporters in that section. It is far stronger than that which existed in 1392, when the Southern delegates cursed the former President in one breath and in the next voted for him as a candidate. The strongest conclusion to be drawn from the canvass, therefore, is that Cleve- land cannot be eliminated from the sit- uation until the delegates meet at St Louis.
