Been Placed In the Retreat Where
King LeopOld's Daughter Is Kept.

KANSAS SOLDIERS DILEMMA.
james FOust, OF lola. Hunting Evidence to
Prove He Is Not Dead. the
Records Declare.

KolSomo, Ind. April 16.-James
Foust, an old soldier who lives at
lola, Kan, is here trying to get evil
'dence that he may prove himself
olive. All during the civil war the vet
'eran was reported dead and buried
and his name is still on the records as
"dead." Although Foust was severely
injured in the thick of battle, he was
saved, and since, 81 years, has been
trying to obtain a pension. He has,
however, so far been unable to dis
prove the official records that he is
not dead. Gen. Funston's father will
.endeavor to convince the government
that Foust is still alive.

THE GREEDY POWERS.
No inclination to Scale Chinese Claims to
Uncle Sans Figures and Settle
ment Is Far On.

Paris, April 16.-The correspondent
here of the Associated press is in
formed from trustworthy source
that the outlook for an early settle
ment of the Chinese indemnity ques-
ton is less promising than week ago.
The negotiations between the powers
are bringing out conflicting ideas and
interests and are likely to be very pro-
tracted. The proposition of the Unit
ed States to limit the total indemnity
to $20O,000,00O is the only one under
discussion and is not regarded with
favor by more than one government.
The others consider the sum too small
and are disinclined to reduce their
claims to the figures of the United
States.

LONDON HAS A SCARE.
Impoverished Jews Arc Flocking to tho
Metropolis and Crowding Out Respect
able Working Classes.

London, April 16.-The question of
alien immigration is again forcing it's
way into prominence. Many people
fear that, following the colonization
of South Africa on a large scale by
men and women of Anglo-Saxon blood
at the close of the war, there will be
an invasion of this country by inn
poverished middlemen, peddlers, mon
ey-lenders and tailors from Jewish
centers of population on the conti-
nent. The feeling among the re-
spectacle working classes of the east
end of London with regard to the
immigration of destitute aliens is
very strong.

QUEEN MAY take THE VEIL.
Protracted Quarrels Between Don
Carlos and His Wife Over
Roman Catholicism.
nKs SIDES WITH THE LIBERALS.
Amelie Is q Devout Catholic and She Al
leges That Her Husband Is Prosecuting
Her Religious FavOrites-Recent Trage-
dy Due to the Kings Alleged Unfafthful-
ness Has Steeled Queen Amelie's Heart.

Lisbon, April 16.-The startling an
nouncement is made in court circles
here that Queen Marie AmeGe, wife
of Don Carlos, king of Portugal, has
resolved to become a nun. This is
direct result of the protracted quarrel
between the royal couple over the
kings attitude toward the religious
orders of the country. The agitation
against the clergy in Spain last month
spread to Portugal, where trouble be-
tween the liberals and the clerical
elements had been brewing for long
time. Queen Amelie is a devout
Catholic, while Don Carlos sides with
the liberals, and during the recent dis
turbances he openly espoused their
cause against the church.
Violent scenes between husband and
wife in Lisbon palace followed, in
which, it is said, the queen threatened
were made at one time for her de-
parture On long journey in foreign
lands, but as the king refused to per-
nit her to take her children with her
the trip was abandoned.
Queen Amelie is known to be a
woman of strong will power. There
are other grievances against the king
which steeled Queen Amelie's heart.
The king has proved several times of
late unfaithful to his marriage VOW,
which recently led to a public scan
dal. A prominent physician in Lis
bon committed suicide over the loss of
his beautiful young wife, whose af
fections had been alienated by the
king.
The climax of royal domestic con-
tention was reached last week when
King Carlos caused an edict against
the cloisters of his realm which COM
mands that all religious institutions
will be required - make report of
their rules and regulations to the
respective municipal authorities, and
that all who do not comply within
fortnight will be closed by the gov
eminent. The edict has been received
with storms of Indignation by the
clericals and all parties. The queen
tearfully besought the king to re-
lent, but he remained obdurate, and
it was then said that unless the king
would modify his edict she would not
hesitate to take the veil.

THE DECREE WAS VALID.
United States Supreme Court Hands
Down an Interesting Decision
Regarding Divorces.
LEGAL RESIDENCE A GREAT FACTOR.
Woman Who Had Left Her Husband In
Kentucky and Lived In New York Is
Bound by the Action of the Kentucky
Court Which Granted the Husband n

Washington, April 16.-The United
States supreme court Monday decided
cases involving the validity in one
state of divorce DEGREES granted in
other states. The court held practical
1y that in cases in which the decree
is granted il states where the hus-
band and wifa have made their legal
residence it is valid in any part of
the United States, but that in other
cases in which there is no legal resi-
dence in the state in which the de-
cree is granted they are invalid.
In the case of Anterior VS.. Ather-
ton, the husband obtained a decree
of divorce in the state of Kentucky,
where they had resided as husband
and wife, after the wife had left the
husband and gone to the home of her
parents in Clinton, n. Y. In his opin-
ion. Justice Gray called attention to
and laid stress upon the fact that
Kentucky was the place of their mar
ital residence and he also brought out
the fact that notices of the husbands
petition for divorce had been for
warded to New York and that she had
made no response. The Kentucky
court thereupon had granted the de-
cree. The question involved, was, he
said, whether the decree was valid in
New York, the question having been
raised by counter proceeding of the
wife for divorce in New York He con-
cluded that owing to the fact of her
former residence in Kentucky and the
fact that due notice had been given
her. Mrs. Anterior was as much
bound by the Kentucky decree as if
she had been present in the court
when it was granted. Hence the de-
cision of the New York supreme court
in favor of the wife and against the
validity of the Kentucky decree was
reversed
