many, when investing him with the in
sigma of the Order of the Garter, is APP
proved on all sides as furnishing additional
proof OF the friendly relations between the
new monarch and Emperor William. The
morning papers are, however, more inter-
ested in the peculiar wording of the proc
lamation of the King by Sir Alfred Miner,
in Pretoria, as supreme lord of and over
the Transvaal,'' and general opinion is that
the use of such an unusual phrase must
have some significant meaning. 1T is pos

eminent desire to leave themselves a loop

ment to go beyond the assertion that Great
Britain is the paramount power in South

"MURDER, CRUELTY AND CAN'T


men ms One Long Act OF btOousneu.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-At a regular
monthly meeting OF the United Irish
American societies, sixty-eight organiza-
tions being present, resolutions were passed
unanimously, reading. in part, follows:
1.-The population OF Ireland, a land flowing
with milk and honey, and capable. accord
ing to the best authorities. of supporting
more than twenty millions OF people IN ease
and comfort, has been reduced from more
than eight and one-half 10 less than four
and one-half millions of people. The actual
number OF Irish people who have died OF
starvation in the midst OF plenty during
Queen Nictoras reign is more than mil
lion and a quarter. More than four MIL
lions of people, according TO the same au-
thority, have been compelled to emigrate
from Ireland to foreign countries The
manufacturing industries of the country
have been steadily discouraged and, as
far as possible, stamped out. Everything
which could be done TO impoverish and de-
populate the country-to root out the peo-
pie from their native soil and drive them
to seek other homes in alien lands; 10
break their spirit and make of them slaves
and outcasts. has been done under Vic
torie's reign and with her full connivance
and consent.
1--WE denounce the reign of Queen Vic
toria as one long act of bloodshed, murder,
cruelty and can't and insist that when its
history is truly written and the influence OF
snobbery, flunkeyism and toadyism is re-
moved, IL will be looked back on as one in
which English wealth and power both
properly passed their zenith and entered
upon a rapid and permanent decline-as one
in which. despite the material progress
made by England in the earlier and middle
part thereof, greater injustice. more cruel
ty, grosser wrong, were inflicted upon hu-
manity In general and upon the Irish in
particular than in the reign of any other
English monarch

OF provincial governments. When once
these have been disposed Of the work OF
drafting the final project will be a matter
Of only few days.
In the course OF to-days discussion sew
eral interesting arguments were made on
the liability of the President OF the Re-
public for crimes committed against the
state and on the method of trying the Pres
ident for such offenses. General Rivera
favored holding the President liable for
any infraction OF the law. Senior Nunez
and Senior Rafael Portuondo contended that
he should be liable only for reasonable
acts. The latter view was favored by a
majority Of the delegates. and the article
referring TO the liability was slightly
amended, the Senate retaining authority 10
try the President for reasonable acts, and
the only penalty being removal from Of
fee. This. however. does not revoke the
right of the courts TO hold the President

NEW CAUSE FOR DIVORCE
HER HUSBAND SMOKED CIGARETTES
NIGHT AND DAY,
And the Judge Thought the Habit
Affected the Moral Condition
of the Defendant.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Jan. 29.-The case of
Mrs. Beatrice Tracey. upon whose allega-
ton that her husband smoked cigarettes TO
excess a decree of divorce was granted by
Judge Burnell, of the Winnebago County
Circuit Court, has attracted considerable i'm
terest in this and other States because OF
the novel point of law involved and the po-
sition occupied by the parties to the suit.
Rolla Tracey the husband is closely re-
lated to some Of the wealthiest and Oldest
families of the city. While Mrs. Tracey Is
now only twenty years old, she had been
married seven years. the couple having
cluded opposition TO their marriage by run
ming away
Mrs. Tracey in her petition, swore that
her husband smoked cigarettes night and
day. and that he had become veritable
cigarette fend. The continual indulgence in
this habit had. she stated so unified him
for labor or the giving of attention to bust
ness that he had for four years failed ut
terly in the matter of supporting her and
her family.
1t had Also she declared. rendered him. to
all intents and purposes, maniac, and
she related how his relatives had attempted
&c save him by obtaining for him course
of treatment at the Northern State Hospi
tai for the Insane. But it had proved of no
avail, and on his return he had shown no
Improvement. From a man of ordinary
sanity he had become one of cruel and
brutal disposition, and had repeatedly
struck and maltreated her. When deprived
OF cigarettes he was worse than when he
was permitted to satisfy his passion.
Judge Burnell, who granted an uncondi-
tional decree of divorce. said to-day in ex
PLANTATION of his decision that divorces have
10 be granted upon statutory grounds, and
that while cigarette-smoking Is not enum-
Grated among these grounds, excessive
drinking is, and the effect on the moral con-
dition of the man is much the same In both
cases. Mrs. Tracey, he said, had shown
sufflcient detailed instances of cruelty and
inhuman treatment, and also had amply
her spouse. To warrant his ordering
separation the smoking appeared in the
case as the superinducing cause of the spe-
cifc acts alleged, according to the wifes
testimony.
Just what Importance such a habit would
bear In a legal proceeding in which IL was
made a specific charge Judge Burnell was
not prepared to say, but he expressed the
opinion that II Understanding were con-
tinued until 1t produced insanity ii would
not In itself be a ground for divorce. as
sanity is not one of the statutory grounds
Tracey has a local reputation as an in
that but for the effect of the habit upon
him he would have a number of fine bust
ness opportunities at his command. But he
has so far resisted all efforts of friends
and relatives to induce him to abandon the
practice.

NEELY'S $4,000 BOND
BALTIMORE COMPANY WILL NOT
SETTLE WITHOUT A LAWSUIT.
Contends that n Clause i'm the Bond
Was Violated by the Government
The Rathbone Case.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 29-President
Edwin Warfield, of the Fidelity and Deposit
Company of Baltimore, has gone to New
York to consult Frank H. Plat, vice pres
ident Of the company, concerning the $50, 900
bond of Charles f. w. Nicely, former d.
rector of finance of the Cuban postal serv-
ice. Demand has also been made on the
company for the $4,000 bond of Estes G.
Rathbone. President Warfield says the
company has neither admitted nor denied
liability in these cases, nor will it do so
until fully satisfied that the claims are
q settlement is made the charges made by
Nicely will have to be satisfactorily ex-
planned away 1t was further stated that
the company does not propose to settle
except at the end of a lawsuit. The effect
of suit by the government to collect the
amount of Neely's bond will be to throw
the merits of the whole case before an
American jury, and 1t appears that one Of
the grounds on which the company will
contend against paying will be that Neely's
guilt has not been established.
A point which the company may raise is
this: On Neelys preliminary hearing in
New York Capt. George E. Burton, who
first made the charges against him. tessi-
fed that, as far back as January, 1900. he
had known Of irregularities In the accounts
OF the director of finance of the postal
establishment. In all Fidelity Company
bonds of the form issued in Neely's case
there is contained a clause which reads
like this: This bond will become void as
to any claim for which the company is re-
sronsible hereunder to the employer If the
employer shall fail to notify the company
of the occurrence of such act Immediately
after il shall have come to the knowledge
of the employer" 1t is said that If Burton
actually knew of the irregularities In jan
uary preceding Neely's arrest. this clause
of the Nicely bond becomes operative be-
cause the company was not Immediately
notified.
While the letter to the company making
the claim for Rathbone's bond does not
allege any criminality against Rathbone,
II asserts that the government was a loser
through him TO the extent of $4,000 in ''un-
authorized payments" which had been dis
allowed in settling his accounts.

MINE OPERATORS MEET.
Indfanfans VIII Oppose Any Change
i'm the Wage Scale.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 2s.--The coal mine
operators began a meeting here to-day, but
had not concluded their deliberations when
adjournment was taken tonight, and they
will meet again tomorrow. President Car
rison stated the Illinois operators had de-
cided to oppose any increase in the mining
rate, TO oppose the admission OF Iowa ana
Michigan 10 the joint conference and to
demand an increase in the differential be-
tween machine and pick mining. He said
that the present differential practically pro-
hibited the use of machines, but that a
large number OF operators were preparing
to Introduce machines I'm their mines and
would insist on the differential being In
creased.
The Indiana bituminous operators held q
conference tonight but deferred action un-
I'll tomorrow. They will oppose in
crease I'm the price of mining or change
from the screen TO run-of-mine basis In fix
ing the scale. The Pennsylvania operators
had arranged TO hold a conference here to-
night, but none Of them had arrived up TO
a late hour But few OF the Ohio operators
are here. They opposed TO granting
any increase in the price of mining. They
are also against change from the screen
to run-of-mine basis or any change In the
differential between machine and pick min-

This plan involves graded system of con-
tracts of three. four and five years, no
player to be bound for period longer than

viding that mo player shall be traded.

with his consent"
So far as legislation on the playing rules
is concerned no important change is looked
for, although possible action may be taken
in the direction Of abolishing the bunt hit.

opposition to any such action.

at the March meeting" said President
Johnson at the close CT to-day's meeting.

firmation of the report could be obtained.

GERMAN SOCIALIST STORY.
wilhelm Alleged to Have Collected
24OOOOOO Marks from King Edward.

BERLIN, Jan. 29.-The Vorwaertz $50
cialist organ) to-day printed a remarkable
story to the effect that Emperor William s
sudden departure to England was not only
due to &C desire to bid farewell TO his dying
grandmother, but still more 10 the Prince
CT Waies's urgent wish to settle private
debt affair TO the Emperor before ascend
Ing the throne. This debt. the vorwaertz
asserted, amounted to 24,0O0,000 marks,
which Emperor William, Immediately after
beginning his reign, loaned the Prince OF
Wales, in order TO place the latter in a
position to pay accumulated debts to the
amount of A,000,ec0 marks. The loaned
money, 1T was further asserted. was part
OF the savings. amounting to $1,000, 00l
marks, left by Emperor William 1. Count
Won Stolburg, then minister Of the imperial
household, the Vorwaertz also said. plainly
opposed the paying out of the "a 200. 00o
marks. and thereupon resigned In Of
flcial circles here the Vorwaertz story is
characterized as a gigantic hoax.
From the most trustworthy sources il is
ascertained that there is no foundation
whatever for the rumors, frequently APP
pearing in the German press, that Emperor
William is largely indebted to Herr Krupp
and other German capitalists. On the con-
trary the Kaiser is not only without debts,
but he Is saving money yearly for his
children.

prepared by Attorney General Taylor The
reason for this Is that under the present
county and township reform system all
business Is done by the calendar year. The
estimates. appropriations. expenditures and
settlements OF the County Commissioners
are made likewise. BY this new bill the
county treasurers will assume their duties
the first Of the year at the same time
the tax duplicates are turned over. This
is done so that q new set of books for
the calendar year may be opened by the
new officers. As II is now, the county Of
ficials take charge of their offices at any
time, but generally the latter part OF
November. This leaves the duplicates
practically incomplete and a new treas
urer to straighten them out and new coun-
~ officers TO settle with the old treas
urer. This bill will make IL so that all
offices shall settle with their successors
on the first of the year.
As IL Is now there is law fixing the
time when the county officers shall go into
Office. In many cases they assume Office
whenever they can drive out their prede-
cessors, sometimes by lawsuits and some
times by coaxing. Ii will result in elm
mating a. large part OF the trouble over
settlements and shortages in Offices ac-
counts for the reason that each officer
