A GREAT SCHEME
Honduras Colonists Will All Grow
Rich Quickly

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-One of the
greatest colonization schemes the worio
has ever seen was practically begun
yesterday, when John Jacob Astor
started for Honduras. He left new

mahal is in waiting. With him are his

cey, F. B. Jennings, President McCol-
Tough of the Erie Railroad, George b.
Scott Of the Pacific Mail STEAMSHIP

The syndicate has already started a
national bank in Honduras, erected
lighthouses, established a revenue cut
ter service and begun the extension ol
the Honduras Railroad to the Pacific
ocean. 1t has taken control of the Gus.
tom house under guarantee to the gov
ernment of s1,000,00O year and has cut
already $4,000 month off old-timt
smuggling gains.
Mr.. Astor will go to the capital, Tegu.
cigalpa, Terre Bonialla.
The new railroad has reached the great
coffee belt now and there will be colony
formed there in which every man will
have chance for fortune. Only mer
with families, with some little money
with practical experience and with the
best of regulations will be taken. Te
them will be given concessions as to
land. importation of implements, etc,
and beyond a certain point financial aid
will be given.
The details Of the colonization plar
are not perfected and will not be ar
ranged and made public until after Mr.

vealed document a forgery, but they say
that in any case, even if genuine, it cannot
affect Germany.
The Paris Temps last evening, comment
ing on the loss of the Maine, says: at
will ever be regrettable if the relations be-
tween Spain and the United States are
ruptured at a moment they can and ought
to come to an understanding on the basis
of autonomy"
A fierce duel was fought yesterday be-
tween Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg and

THE KALI YUGA CELEBRATED
BY BELIEVERS IN ASIATIC
PHILOSOPHY
Theosophists in Annual Session at
Chicago Take a Step Toward
Universal Brotherhood

CHICAGO. Feb. 1S.-The Theosophical
Society of America, which met in annual
convention in this city, celebrated the
close of the Kali Yuga, which. according to
the Asiatic philosophy. followed by the
Theosophists, was the fourth cycle of 5000
years each of human progress, followed
by complete change of government
Autonomy was overthrown and autocracy
was established with Mrs. Katherine A.
Tingley as the spiritual head. Theosophy
as a name was given subordinate place.
and the International Brotherhood league
was the new title with which the move
ment was christened. An active crusade
will be inaugurated for the purpose of in
terestng the common people in the cult
The Theosophical society will be continued
but only liteary auxiliary of the brother
hood league.
The esoteric school, or inner circle, of
which Mrs. Tingley has been the head,
will practically direct the destinies of the
whole movement. Spiritual power, abso-
lutte and unconditional, is now vested in
Mrs. Tngley, and, as in the case of Nine.
Blavatsky and William @. Judge, she will
select her successor. thus perpetuating the
autocracy.
The convention organized with Dr. Je-
rome Anderson as permanent CHAIRMAN. "A
proclamation was read from Mrs. Ting
ley in which she referred to the plans
of Nine. Blavatsky and w. Q. Judge re-
earding the future of the society. She
quoted them to show that they considered
theosophy in a broader sense than COM
monty held. They were devoted, she said
to the universally of the brotherhood of
mana brotherhood that would be helpful
and protective in its operation. The proc
lamation declared that the organization
established two years ago under the name
of the International Brotherhood was the
plan of Judge and that the time had now
arrived to make public the new form of
government and endowing Mrs Tingley
with absolute authority over the organiza-
ton. The resolutions when presented to
the convention were adopted by prac-
tically unanimous vote. Some opposition
came from E. 7. Hargrove, former presi-
dent of the society, and II. S. Spencer OF
New York, who led the faction opposed
to Mrs. Tingleys rule. Provisions We're
made in the resolutions for the issuing of
new charters to all branches of the So
ciety.
Mrs. Tingley named e. A. Nereshemer
as president of the society for the COM
ing year Her candidate was elected
by an overwhelming majority.
The fraternal delegates to the conven-
tion, DR.. Eric Bogren of Sweden, d. n.
Dunlap of Dublin, Prof. Basilcrump and
Mrs. Alice Cleather of London, have as
sured Mrs. Tingley that Theosophical So
cieties which they represent will accent
the universal brotherhood idea and her alb
souto leadership.

CHINA NEEDS MONEY
Trouble Is Certain if She Fails to
Raise It

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-A special to
the Herald from Yokohama says: The
Japan Times, the organ of the Japa-
nese government, today takes gloomy
view of the Eastern situation. The fol-
lowing is an extract from its leading
editorial:
"It is true that Japan has refused
China's request for more time in which
to pay the war indemnity, due on May
s next" and continues:
"If our neighbor succeeds in raising
the required money before that date 1T
will be all right, but should her efforts
be unsuccessful, the result would be the
inaugural of an epoch in the Eastern
crisis. Under the conceivable devel-
opments of events things may easily
come very nearly to the point of explo-
sion. China's failure to find money will
open a new scene in the drama, scnene
which will be of more lively interest than
any thus far enacted"
