URGED TO BEWARE POSEN
EMPEROR WILLIAM WARNED HIS
LIFE MAY RE PERILED.
Court Chamberlain Won Morawskf
Fears Some Polish Fanatic Might
Attempt to Kill His Majesty.

BERLIN, July 23.-Court Chamberlain
Won Morawski, a Polish landed magnate,
has appealed to Emperor William not to
visit Posen during the army maneuvers to
be held in September. as his Majesty had
planned to do The chamberlain fears that
some Polish fanatic might attempt to harm
the Emperor Racial feeling is described
as at fever heat, and several Berlin jour
nails take the view that il would be unwise
for the Emperor to expose himself unnec-
cessarily.
The Post Conservative says it is in
formed that it would greatly relieve those
responsible for his Majesty's safety to
learn that he had given up the trip. Prom
inent Germans residing in Posen are glad
that the Polish officials and nobility have
determined not to attend the festivities, s
thereby the chances of unpleasant Incl
dents are lessened.
1t is scarcely likely that Emperor Will
litm will act upon Chamberlain Won Mo-
rawskis appeal, because his Majesty never
permits himself 70 change his plans on ac-
count of the timidity OF his advisers. He
goes anywhere he thinks duty calls him.
and. besides, il is his purpose to declare
the governments Polish policy while in
Polish territory, and his giving up of per-
sonal supervision of the maneuvers would
be unprecedented.
The Polish question is regarded as the
most pregnant i'm the governments do
nestle policy. While no observer believes
the Polish agitation can really amount to
much ultimatel ii is embarrassing the
relations with Austria and Russia. The
Poles in Galicia enjoy local self-govern-
ment and press privileges which are not
in vogue in Prussian Poland and continual
contrasts are made in the Austrian press
between the conditions existing in Galica
and in the province of Posen that annoy
this government and tend to weaken the
ing that Russia is disposed to utilize the
Polish passion by giving greater freedom
to Russian Poles, thus creating along the
Russian frontier a Prussian population in
sympathy with Russia. Count Won Bue-
low, the German imperial chancellor, is
we'll aware of the disagreeable features of
the Polish agitation and it is quite likely
he will devise measures 10 quiet the ex-
IRENE violence of the Polish feeling.

the 4th of August is TO deliver an address
at Chautauqua, in which he will deal pref

he views it, 1t is understood that he re-

brief time, as the Philippine government
law recently enacted by Congress will en-
able the natives to participate in their
home affairs and in a short time enjoy
practically home rule, so far at least as
their municipal governments are con-
cerred. 1t is not improbable that Presi-

his Chautauqua speech. President Butler
will remain the guest of the President I'M

BUSINESS METHODS IN STATE
AFFAIRS.

The table giving the cost of the mainte-
stitutions of the State for the six months
which ended April 30, 1902, compared with
the corresponding six months published in
the bulletin of the Board of Charities, con-
tains some unexpected facts when con-
sidered in connection with the advance in
the prices of many articles of food. Those
who take an interest in the expenditures
Of those institutions looked for a decided
increase per capita in the cost of mainte-
nance outside of clothing and repairs Take
the hospitals for the insane: the cost per
capita for the six months for subsistence
this year was $316S, against S2923 last year
for the Central, S2S26 for the Northern this
year to S2755 last year, s2S.1S this year
for the Eastern to s2S.97 last year,
s2s.6S this year to s27.27 last year for
the Southern. The other charitable insti-
tutions show the following comparisons for
the corresponding periods of six months:
Soldiers Home, 1856 this year to s3O21 last
year; Soldiers Orphans Home, $3O4S this
year to $2S.S9 last year; Institution for the
Deaf 1904 this year to S29.56 last year:
Institution for the Blind, sS1S1 this year to
S3O.76 last year. The cost of subsistence for
the two periods of six months in the cor
rectional institutions was as follows: State
Prison. S2O.22 this year to $3.50 last year.
Reformatory, $21.53 this year to s32.79 last
year; Girls Industrial School, $3.50 this
year to s2O.65 last year; Reform School,
$3.50 this year 10 s142O last year.
There must have been economical man
agement in all these institutions to keep
the cost of subsistence during the six
months which ended with April, 1902 so
close to the cost of the corresponding six
months when the cost of potatoes was near
ly so per cent. more and all other vegeta-
bles and meats, butter. etc, much higher
than they were during the six months of
1901. Some of these institutions in ordinary
seasons raise all or nearly all of the pota-
toes they consume. but the drought of 1901
cut off nearly the entire crop which had
been the supply of previous years to several
institutions. The foregoing are only a few
OF the statistics presented by the bulletin
ernor Durbin and Secretary Butler. of the
Board of Charities, and the equally intelli-
gent and conscientious management OF
boards of trustees and their subordinates
under the present nonpartisan policy per-
vading every institution.

HOW DE MOREs WAS KILLED.


TUNIS, July 23.-The trial at Susa, near
here, of the murderers of the Marquis De
Mores. who was killed near Gabes I'm June
1896. was resumed to-day. and several wit
nesses who had been cited by the govern
ment were heard. Their testimony gen
orally went TO prove that the murder was
committed by Touregs. who hate the
French. The deposition OF an Arab who
died a year ago was read. According 10
this deposition. when the Touregs heard
that the Marquis De Mores was coming
they held a meeting and discussed whether
they should help the marquis, repel him
or kill him, and IL unanimously de-
cided that he should be killed. The Marquis
De Mores, though severely wounded, held
the Arabs at bay for several hours with
his revolver, and was finally killed by an
attack from the rear.
Cross-questioning of one of the witnesses.
Mohamed Ben Ali, brought out the state
ment that Ell Kheir one of the men on
trial for the murder. had received letters
from a Marahout of Guemar. saying that
De Mores might be killed with impunity.
because he was travelling without authorl-
cation. The Judge thought this statement
suspicious as the witness had made no
mention of the matter previously.

he threw it the other way The Splinter

He determined TO return TO New York on

Archbishop John Ireland can always be
depended on to take the American and
patriotic side of public questions, and that
he does in his discussion of the negotia-
ton relative to the friar lands in the
Philippines. He administers a pointed re-
buke 10 the irresponsible church
societies or newspaper editors that have
misrepresented the attitude and motives
of the United States government toward
the Catholic Church in the Philippines and
says: 1.-The Pope teaches those Catholics

GROUND FOR 4 PLAIN ISSUE.

Colonel Vilas's recent letter contains the
first advice he has given to the Democratic
party since he was a delegate TO the Gold
Democratic convention in this city in Aug
ust. 1896. Since that date he has been very
still Democrat. There is no misunderstand-
ing the Villas letter. He is against the pro-
lection system in toto. He would sweep ii
away entirely. That is the logical ground
for those who do not believe in the present
or any protective tariff. Those who are in
sympathy with Colonel Villas should boldly
take the ground that protection. in any de-
gree, is "a false and deceitful device"
which should be destroyed root and branch.
They should urge the striking out OF all the
schedules such as have been passed in all
our tariffs and put the duties on a few ar
ticles which are not produced to any ex-
tent in this country. Those who believe
with Mr. Villas should insist that every
farm product should be put on the free list
;hat all the leading articles OF manufacture
should come into our market without du-
ties. In fact, instead OF a free list those
who are in harmony with Colonel Villas
should say that the proper tariff, like that
OF Great Britain. Will contain only few
articles OF general use which we do not
produce. such as sugar, coffee and tea.
Those who believe in the protection sys-
tenn as vindcated In the present prosperity
of this country. while other nations are not
prosperous. are anxious to meet Colonel
Villas and his party on the issue OF 1.-THE

three small children of Mr.. and Mrs George
Graham, of this city. reported that death
