THE GREAT UNwAsHED.
The People of Moscow Are Opposed to
the Use of Water

lne HeOple OF MOSCOW Are opposed TO
the Use of Water.
Moscow, April 6th-The following is
forwarded by the Tribune correspondent:
The deep rooted aversion of Tsiganes or
gypsies, to that particular virtue which is
popularly supposed TO rank next to godli-
ness has received remarkable illustration
in Russia
The we'll known and enormously wealthy
philanthropist, ~. Jegorow, of this place
determined some years ago to supply one
of the pressing needs of his follow citizens
by erecting public baths of the most COM
piete and elaborate description under the
shadow of the walls of the Kremlin. Not
only was en- accommodation organized for
the classes, but also for the masses, and
unique provision" was made TO have the
clothes of every bsther washed and ironed
free of charge.
M. Jegorow spent many milli MS of
roubles IN constructing and furnishing the
establishment in question.
Dismayed, however, by the prospects of
so much cleanliness, the gypsies deter
mined to devote all their efforts to Illustrate
the philanthropic intentions of NJ Jego-
row, and a few days before the date ap-
pointed for the inauguration of the baths
by the Governor. General, the millionaire
was warned by an old Tsigane woman that
he would die on the day the baths were
opened. NJ. Jegorow, like all his country
men, is exceedingly superstitious, and the
result of the prophesy has been that the
huge structure, with its magnificent apart
ments, has remained unopened and un-
used.
Meanwhile the object of the Tsiganes
has been attained. for nobody, of course,
wishes to invest money in the construction
of new baths while any possibility remains
OF those built by NJ. Jegorow coming into
use. The result is that Moscow and its
citizens are living up to their reputation of
being the dirtiest city and most uncleanly
people in the Empire.

SIGNS OF REVOLT.
Bismarck's Retirement Has Caused Much
Discomfort in the Empire,


Discomfort in the Empire.
New YORK. April CHA Vienna letter
to the Tribune says: The Southern States
of the German Empire are beginning to
manifest very serious signs of revolt against
the despotic and encroaching nature of the
control which the Prussiap Government
has gradually acquired over their affairs
Memories of military glory warmed their
hearts to old Emperor William and es-
pecially toward Emperor Frederick, who
had commanded Southern army corps in
the war of 1870. No sentiment, however,
fills their hearts toward the new Emperor
who has taken but little pains to win the
affecuonate regard which his lamented
father enjoyed.
Under the present Imperial reign there
is nothing to soften or to palliate the
tyranny of Prussian interference. ONLY
Bismarck's S name and superstitious be-
lief in his far-reaching power and pres
cience have hitherto prevented the South
Germans from giving vent TO their feelings
But now that the great Chancellor has
been ousted and set aside by his presumptu-
Gus and upgrateful young master, the
Southerners have no longer any reason
for maintaining silence.
In Bavaria, in Baden, in Saxony and in
Wurtemberg the situation has become so
omlnous and growls OF popular dissatisfac.
ton SO loud that General Won Alvensle-
ben, the Prussian Commander of the Wur.
temberg Army Corps, has been summoned
IN all haste TO Berlin in order to confer
with the Emporer with regard to measures
to be adopted for dealing with the trouble.

QUEEN VICTORIA.
She is Almost Toe Fat to Breathe Yet
She WIZ Not Abdicate.

She VIII Not Abdicate.
LONDON, April 6th.-There is not much
danger of Queen Victoria abdicating the
throne of England in favor of Albert Ed
ward of Wales as long as she lives.
Just before her departure for AK les
Bains it was rumored here that she would
voluntarily surrender the position which
she has held since June 20, 1927. The rea-
sons alleged by those who circulated the
rumor were many fold 1t has been
known for a long time that Victoria s
health is very precarious. She is victim
OF sciatica, and for months has not been
able to move about. except with the aid OF
q walking-stick. In addition to this she
has become very fleshy, and nothing that
the Court physicians can do can remedy
this great difficulty. She has placed her.
self upon the plaiuest diet, and is obliged
to undergo severe massage treatment daily
to enable her 10 breathe easily. Her pres
ept visit TO the baths of AK lee Bsins is
for the purpose of getting rid Of some OF
her superhuoUs flesh.
She is we'll convinced of the fact that she
cannot live much longer, and that il is not
onlyr i'm possible for her 10 show herself in
public as the English populace would
wish, but she is not able 10 attend, as she
would like TO, public business.
Another reason advanced for abdication
by those who imagine that she would sur
render her rights. was the recent visit of
the Prince of Wales TO GERMANY and a
little while before the visit of Emperor
William 10 England.
In spite of the friyolities of bis early life,
Albert Edward has always been the favor

Strange Marriage Law.

The Times of India publishes the rules
which the Bombay Government, with the
assent of the Governor General, has drawn
up for regulating the marriage expenses of
the Kadva Kanbi caste in the district of
Ahmedabad and kaira. Power to make
these rules is given under the Act for the
prevention of female infanticide. Some OF
them are curious. The chenllo, or present
given at the betrothal by the brides
father to the bridegroom's father may be
one rupee and shall not exceed 100 ru-
pees. The value of the cocoanuts distrib-
uted at the marriage procession is not to
exceed ten rupees, and the same limit is
fixed on the value of the mosalu, or pres
ent by the brides maternal relation. The
payment at the ceremony when the bride
groom touches with his finger his mother
in-law's dress must not go beyond two ru-
pees. The number of dinner parties given
by the brides family is not to be more than
FIVE, and the number Of guests at each not
more than twenty-five. The marriage
party going to the brides village are not
to spend more than thirty rupees, and
when the bridegroom is invited to social
gathering at his father-in-law's house he
is not TO be paid more than two rupees, nor
to take with him more than five men,

as yet only Prince, and lower down in
the social scale tha'l the head of the Hohen-
zollerns.
Wales undoubtedly felt this difference
keenly, and the reports of his ill health
were sent out to excuse him from appear
ing any cftener than possible. Much the
same thing happened during the recent
visit to Berlin, and it was said by those
who s5vanced the theory of abdication that
Victoria, after a long life of power, would
relinquish the reips of government to her
SOC, and as King of England he would
tske precedence denied him now.
But Victoria will not abdicate. As long
as she lives she will be Queen of England
and Albert Edward, in spite of his discom-
fort must remain Prince of Wales. His
health is not at all good, and there's a pos
sibility that his mother may outlive him.
In that event Albert Victor would succeed
her. He is not such a representative as
Victoria would select, nor is he popular
here; but one thing is firmly believed
here, and that is, that Victoria will never
voluntarily surrender the throne.

English Officials Censured for the Nodus
Vivendi Negotiations.


Vivendi Negotiations.
HALIFAX, April 6th-Advices from New
foundland show high state of excitement
throughout the colony over the fishery
modus vivendi negotiated by Great Britain.
Newfoundlanders claim that Great Britain
has sacrificed the sacred rights belonging
to the island. Demonstrations are being
held all over the country denouncing the
Downing street officials. A great mass
meeting at st. John, at which 600 people
were present, passed the strongest and
most denunciatory resolutions that could
be conceived. Thespeakers were cheered
to the echo.
Business was wholly suspended for the
day and process on of l0000 paraded the
streets with banners. The United States
flag figured prominently. When the Star
Spangled Banner" was played by dozen
bands, 60,000 persons shouted themselves
hoarse. Delegations will be dispatched to
England, Scotland and Ireland to enlist
public sympathy so that such pressure may
be brought TO bear on the Salisbury Gov
ernment as to cause it TO abrogate the
treaty. If this fails the colony will ask for
redress and protection from the United
States under annexation.
The French have pulled down several
lobster factories at Hawling Point and the
fishermen there have been called upon to
arm themselves with guns and man the
factories with Calling guns to end further
molestation or encroachment. The people
are asked not only to refuse to submit in
the slightest degree to the treaty, but to
unite in driving the French away from the
shores of Newfoundland.

PARIS, April 6th.-For some time extra
ordinary rumors have been brought to
Paris from Cannes about the conduct of
the exlled Emperor of Brazil, Dom Pedro
He is constantly breaking into fits of vio-
lent passion for the most trivial causes.
These outbreaks are followed by fits of
terrible depression, when he is seen wan
derlng about his apartments. moaning and
crying like child. The last outbreak of
this description was when he received from
the Provisional Government in Rio the
announcement of very liberal advances of
money which they proposed to make to
him on the sales of his Brazilian proper
ties
What caused his fury was the preamble
OF the decree of allotment, in which it was
stated that the object of the measure was
to relieve the well-known financial embar-
rassments of the deposed Emperor. Or
reading this Dom Pedro burst into furi-
Gus passion and cried out: What do
they mean, la c2naille? Do they take me
for beggar that they should insult me
with their charity? Write to them at
once. Tell them that | refuse their bounty.
