HAYTI IN TROUBLE WITH GERMANY PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, Feb The relations between the govern- ments of Hayt!i and Germany are strained owing to the refusal of the German bankers, Hermann & Co. by direction of the court at Port au Prince to return to the Haytian government large sums of money alleged to have en obtained fraudulently. Among « alleged transactions of Hermann & Co. with the Haytian government was one which is said to have proved favor- able to the government. This was con ciuded by the Haytian nister of Fi nance, the German legation and Her- mann & Co. manded that this transaction, as well 2s others, be annulled, but the Haytian government in terms that the man Minister deemed offensive refused to acqufesce. Fears are entertained here of grave complications ensuing. The official Monitor recently pub- lished notice of the expuision of Mr. Mansour, an American citizen, but Mr. Furniss, the American Minister, believ- ing the call for the man’'s expulsion un- justified, asked for the withdrawal of ine order. This, however, was re- fused and Mansour has left for New York. The seal of the American lega- tion has been placed on his shop. —_——————— ALMSHOUSE PATIENT FOUND IN COMATOSE STATE ON STREET Fabian Kunhard, aged 55, a patient st the gimshouse, was picked up by eman J.

From these letters, it is claimed, it appears that Cardinal Hohenlohe sus- pected that Jesuits had tried to poison him because he was too liberal in en- deavoring, through his influence among statesmen, chief among them Crispl, to bring about an understanding with the Vatican and Quirinal. Cardinal Hohen- lohe, on June 1889, wrote Pope Leo, | saying: | “God has arranged things so that the church cannot retake the temporal | power. The salvation of souis demands | | that we submit and rem the ecclesiastical sphere.” The Pope's departure from Italy was spoken of owing to friction over the monument to Giordano Bruno, the phil- osopher who was burned at the stake in the Campol del Firo at Rome as a heretic. Cardinal Hohenlohe wrote to Pope Leo i “Crisp! has asked me to inform vou | that if you wish to leave he will not op- in tranquil in | ¢ | Dose it, and will have you accompanied with all honors, but that your Holiness will never be allowed to return to! | Rome.” | | Cardinal Hohenlohe also dlscussed | Minister | with Crispi and Foreign Blanc the best way, in case of a con- | clave, to prevent the election of Cardi- ! nal Rampolla as Pope. It was claimed | that Ttaly could not act without ap- | pearing fo minimize the spiritual sov- ereignty’ of the church; neither could | | Germany. because it was a Protestant | power, and Austria alone was in a po- | | sition to act. Blanc drew up a memoir | | which Cardinal Hohenlohe sent to his| brother, who then was the German Chancellor, and this memortal probably | was the origin of the Austrian veto of | Cardinal Rampolla at the last conclave. PURE WINE BILL 70 BE MMENDEL SANDUSKY, 0. Feb. 10.—William | Homer Reinhart, secretary of the Na- | tional Wine Growers' Association, to- | night announced that an agreement had | | been reached with ‘the American Wine | | Growers' Association whereby certain | features of the Fasset pure wine bill | will be eliminated and all obstacles in | the way of the passage of the measure | will be removed. ! The Naslonal Wine Growers' Agsocia- | tion had been fighting the Fasset bill | for more than a year past on the al-| {leged ground that if made a law it | would discriminate agalnst many of the | wineries of the Middle West to such an extent as to put some classes of them out of business. The Fasset bill has had the endorsement of the Cali- | fornia growers. By the compromise | which Reinhart says has been reachea {all the wine growing Interests, it is claimed, will be satisfied. HAVE WO RESPECT FOR PINGHOT SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL | TACOMA, Feb. 10.—“Gifford Pinchot | has done more to retard the growth and development of the Northwest than any other man or any other circum- stance or factor. This was the statement made by Gov- ernor Mead in discussing the Federal forest reserve policy and the with. drawal of Whatcom County lands from | entry. | “Pinchot has great influence at | Washington,” continued the Governor. “He has the ear of the President and seems to be independent of any de- partmental control.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—More than 1200 members of the Commercial Telegra- phers’ Union met today and determined to strike against the Western Union Telegraph’ Company if the corporation refuses to reinstate several of the telegraphers who have been discharged within the last-fortnight. The meeting was warlike and the resolutions passéd the treatment of employes by the local management of the company. Eearly in December twenty-five cities where Western Union operators were employed in large numbers formulated requests and forwarded them to Robert C. Clowr president of the company, at his office in New York. No reply was ever rec ed by any of the dif- ferent groups of men sending in the requests. This was followed.in Chicago by activity on the part of the Com- mercial Telegraphers’ Union of Amer- ica, which began organizing the oper- ators. The men are all unionized. The mass meeting today was ad- dressed by John Newman of the Rail- way Telegraphers, Congressman-elect James T. McDermitt, Attorney D. G. Ramsey and Sam J. Small, president of the National Union of Telegraphers. The speakers were free in their de- nunciation of the company and its past attitude toward its employes, “The president of the Western Union Telegraph Company, Robert C. Clowry, has contemptuously ignored the prayer for an increase of 10 per cent in wages, ion signed by more oves in the Chicago on has been with ithe officials of the company for nearly three months. We propose now to use that other remedy best known to union men and see how much longer that communication will remain unan- | than 700 of its en which peti were resentful of |. swered,” said onc of the speakers. The principal topic under discussion | the speakers at the ‘meeting per- | tained to the discharge of the men. The | following resolutions were adopted: | Resolved, That we publicly announce onr mem- | bership In the Commercial Telegraphers’ Union | of America. and ¥ serve mnotice on the company that a continuation of fts unfair and discriminating attitude will be resented; and be it further Resolved, That the committes on_grievances the meeting in Jefferson Hall be and is hereby insto local executive board of Chicago Local No. 1, with a view of having official action taken in regard to the recent summary discharge of & number - of telegraphers without cause by the { Western Union Telegraph Company in Chicago, and that the local executive board is given the necessary anthority to act by the appointment of a committee or committees, the calling of a special meeting of this local or such otber action % It may deem necessary. —_—— STANDARD OIL OBJECTS TO THE LAWS OF HAWAII Destres Change in Order That Requires Storing of Explosives In Govern- ment Warehouse HONOLULU, Feb. 4.—The Standard Oil Company has offered to leave noth- ing undone to make Honolulu one of the principal seaport towns of ' the world, but It wants Honolulu in turn to change the law which requires that explosive olls Shall be’ stored in ‘the Government warehouses subject to cer- tain storage fees. The proposition was made in a letter to the Merchants' As- soclation. Tt claims to be selling here vacuum ofls at coast prices and to be willing to spend $50,000 in the erection of buldings, as a starter, but it does not like the territorial laws. WTICAN AGGEPTS FRENGH ADDRESS PARIS, Febl 10.—The Temps prints | what {s declared to be the true history of the address of the French episco- pate proposing model contracts for churches. According to this accounty which bears internal evidence of beinz | |authentic, the ultramonaines, who are in the majority in the episcopate, favor | the maintenance of the status quo, but agreed to submit to the Vatican the | question of contracts which the mod- | erates proposed in the belief that it would not be acceptable there. Monsignor Dadolle, Archbishop of Dijon, and Bishop Touchet took the minutes to Rome and Cardinal Merry del Val, Papal Secretary of State, told them the Pope was willing to accept the principle of the contracts i{f abso- lute uolldl{%ty were shown, but this decision musat come ostensibly from the episcopats, as he could not publicly intervene. Thereupon, the Temps says, the address was drawn up and sub- mitted to the Pope, who with his own hand supplemented the clause specify- ing that the contract must be accepted everywhere “or we do not wish it any- where.” The document, the paper says, was then brought to Paris and issued in the name of the entire episcopate, although many of the bishops never saw it until it was published. ELEVATOR DROPS EIGHT STORIES WITH PASSENGERS | Three Men Are Injured, but Partial Working of Mach: Saves All From Deat] NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—With thirteen panic-stricken men for passengers, an elevator car in the new Rhinelander building, at Duane and William streets, dropped from the eighth floor to the basement tonight. Three of the men were so seriously injured as to necessi- tate their removal to . the Hudson- street Hospital. They were: = Harry Bradley, photographer; Thomas Hoag- land, printer; Theodore Oelrich, printer. That all were not killed was due to the fact that the. broken machinery, which failed to’do Its full duty, per- formed in part the function of check- ing the speed of tne descending car. FIND MORE UNFILLED BOMBS MOSCOW; Feb. 10.—Another search at the Moscow Female University has resulted in several unfilled bombs be- ing found.

It is a pastime with him— something to keep him upied. He seems to be quite ind lent. He possesses great power in Washington, for he plays a fine game of tennis.” To show how the forest reserve sys- tem has worked in some cases, the Lieutenant Governor cited instances. in his own county,,Jefferson, where at| one time 84 per cent of the county was |pisced within s Teserve. eral von der l:\gfilu and Go.v;rn,or Alexandrovsky have .been tri by drumhead court-martial. 7 FATALLY INJURED BY STREET CAR Patrick Rellly, a teamster, Iiving in the Harrison-street refugee camp, was struck Ay a ¢ car last night and uow“?.i‘u 'Rnh'“th h‘anw Emergency Hospital with a fractured skull.

By James A notable feature of the Orpheum's| stage proceegings is the facial radi-| ance of the women who variously per- | -1 form. Such a series of ‘“property”| smiles have seldom illuminated a| vaudeville show. Every lady displays | a grin more or less extensive and un- | |interrupted, but to that worn by Miss Nelson is due primal honors for dura- tlon and appearance of genuineness. | She enters with bared gums, and un- til her exit they remaln unsheathed| except when the process of speaking| momentarily cloaks them. Then comes | Miss Falke, the orifice of whose wide- | ly divided countenance emits chirrupy | giggles which enhance her assumption of gleefulne: Patrice follows, al-| ternating absurd melodramatic frowns with her simulated gayety of expres sion. Then we are presented with Nellie Beaumont, whose distended lips| disclose the finest dental exhibit of| the lot. Finally we-are snown two| pretty girls scraping ’cellos and smil- | ing the sweet, sad smile of refined| artistry. ) Some of the men also smile, and| some of them fail in effort to make| the audience do likewise. If the edu- | cated elephant indulges in smiles his| trunk conceals them. | Of the four new acts that performed | by the octet of acrobatic Arabs makes the biggest hit. There is nothing original about it except the superior | agllity with which the ancient flip-flaps and handsprings and somersaults are done and the extraordinary ability to| bear heavy burdens that is displayed by | the “ground man” in the so-called “human pyramids.” He is not a re- markably strong-looking chap. but he| stands firmly as Tamalpais while seven than himself—simultaneously clamber | aboard his person and organize groups of living statuary. Eleanor Falke proves possession of the rare accomplishment of Geing able Crawford to adopt a time-worn song and make it new In all except words and melody by giving it unique interpretation. She does It with the overworked “Not Be- cause Your Hair Is Curly” and several | other chestnutesque “populars,” and wins more applause than was ever glven any other singer who unfolded them.. It is her tompelling personality that does it. Nellie Beaumont has a new mascu- line aid in the sketch “His Busy D: which she presented here some sea- sons ago with one of the Billy Vans. There are some lines in the dialogue| which could be expunged without| hurting anything or anybody, and one of the songs, too, would not be robbed of charm if it were revised. The suc- cessor of Van is a hard-working | oung fellow, but his comedy method, when removed from horseplay, Is| dreary. The lady has beauty and some | dramatic force in her favor. The Lasky-Rolfe Quintet, compris- ing four 'cellos and a string bass, sit within an fmitation of a great seashell and play selections from Mascagni and less famous composers. Some of the melodies are better adapted than others to interpretation by the strangely-balanced orchestra, but any of them would be improved in har- monious effect if a violin and a viola| were substituted for two of the ‘cellos. As it is arranged—and no less erudite musiclan than Victor Herbert is credited with being somewhat respon- sible for its arrangement—the instru- mentation is of too sonorous a qual-| ity. This is most conspicuous in the| “Cavalleria” intermezzo and least so In| “Dearle,” a song of low cadence beau-| ty. But the four 'cellos and the string| bass, aided by the big shell and the spot light and the playing of “Dixie” and other appeals to the popular heart, manage to win repeated recalls. | To the Chutes with that “dainty playlet” in which Patrice struts her| twenty minutes! | GLERK N CONTROL F MILLIONS ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 10.—Comptroller Martin H. Glynn made public tonight the results of an investigation which he had made into the condtion of the stock transfer tax bureau of his office, with reference to the handling and dis- posal of seven millions dollars’ worth of the stamps issued by that depart- ment for use in the transfer of stocks under the act of 1905. According to the Comptroller's statement, more than $5,000,000 worth of the stamps have been destroyed either in process of manufacture or by actual burning, without adequate record of supervision, in the two years since the act was passed and there is only the personal word of a single clerk, salarfed at $2500 and not under bond, to certify the fact that they were destroyed at all. The stamps were printed by Quayle & Son of this city. The plates were in g¢he custody of the Comptroller's rep- resentative and each day were deliv- ered to Qauyle & Son. The paper first u?fl was of an ordi- nary commercial . $ort, which Comp- troller Glynn sgid was stored in the Quayle shop under an ordinary lock in an ordinary room. While the sheets wiere counted before printing, there was no safeguard to prevent their be- ing abstracted.- Moreover, the Comp- troller detlared, the count of sheets did not tally, the explanation being that some of the paper was used for other purposes. The first issue was found to be sus- ceptible of counterfeiting, and in May or June last year the printing of these was stopped, and a new issue was begun on patent paper. “When the new paper, which was to defy counterfeiting, came to hand,” said the Comptroller, “it received no better safeguard, but was left in the Quayle shop. And the Comptroller’s seal, with which the bundles were was apparently as carelessly treated. ; A statement was made to him by tkins, the Comptroller said, add- in H‘. says that that remained of down to Quayle's shop in Green Stmeel 'and boxed them up, snd " they PRESIDENT'S VIEWS O HOME LIF SYRACUSE, N. Y.. Feb. 10.—Mrs. E. H. Merrill of this city, president of the New York State Mothers' “Assembly, is in receipt of a lettér from President Roosevelt in which he defines the place of the father and mother in the home. The letter was in response to one asking questions propounded by the | council of mothers recently held at | Newburgh. The President says: For one of our topies, how would it do to speak of the place of the father in the home? Now and then people forget that, exactly as the mother must help the breadwinmer by being & good housewife, so the father in his turm, if| be is worth his salt, must in every way back| up the mother in helping bringing up the chil- | ren. After all, the prime duties are elemental, and no amount of ecultivation, no amount of force and sagacity, will make the average man a rnd citizen unless he be a good husband and ‘ather and nnless he Is a successful breadwin- | ner, is tender and cousiderate with his wife | and both loving and wise (for to be loving and | weak and foolish.is utterly ruinous) in dealing ‘with the children. 1 think it a crime for the soman to shirk her primary duties—to shrink be to. ial vocation in addition to (never in tutlon for) her heme work. But just as the highest work for the normal man fs work for his wife and children. so the highest work for the normal woman is the work | of the home—where, heaven kmows, the work is ample enough. But I also feel she can do the best work in her home if she has healthy outside interests and occupation in addition, and I most firmly believe that she canmot do her duty by her husband if she occupies a merely servile atti- tude toward him, or submits to Il trea and that she is as a it and foolish | isnliomt s mats svak i MEXICO FEARS WHEAT FAMINE CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 10.—Fearing a wheat famine in the country in con- sequence of the bad crops the Finance Department has considerably decreased the customary duties on wheat Im- ported from the United States.

H. Beardsley had said four years ago that he had given money to the Cochranes to be used as a jury bribe, is made good. It was an- nounced here today that Rev.

Father Egan was contradicted flat- 1¥ by Beardsley, who declared he had never admitted handing a packet con- taining money to “Pat™ Cochrane to be “slipped” to his brother “Jim" the attorney, by him to be used to in- fluence the jury sitting in the John Keefe perjury case, about four years ago. While the Grand Jury can not, on account of the statute of limitations, take any action, even in case it is proved that bribe money was passed to Cochrane, the testimony will still be of great significance on account of the two suits for libel brought by P. H. Cochrane against Sheriff Taylor. The latter wrote an accusation charg- ing Cochrane. with the offense. He information through Fa- ther Egan's statement of Beardsley's admission.
