AGAINST HIS MOTHERS WILL
King Edwnrd Gives Osborne House to the
British NatiOn-Her Disposal of
the Property.

London, Nov. 22.-The Osborne es-
tate bill, providing for the transfer to
the nation of the Osborne House es-
tate, Isle of Wight, from King EdwarS,
whose property it became under the
will of the late Queen Victoria, passed
its second reading in the house of
commons yesterday. after some crit
icism rejecting the feeling on the sub
1ect in royal circles.
Queen Victoria's will has never been
published, but there is very high au-
thority for saying that the bequeSt was
not her idea. As a matter of fact she
left the property to the king for life,
with the reversion to the Prince of
Wales. Failing the latter the property
was to go to her daughters, or to the
Prince Wales heirs. The king. how
ever, insisted on giving it to the ma
ton as a memorial.

Milwaukee, Nov. 22.-Mrs. Jessica
Allis, daughter of John Stevens, a mil
ionaire of Neenah, has been granted
a divorce from Gilbert Allis, million
aire and son of a member of the Allis-
Chalmers company, machinery builders
and engine designers. Desertion while
on their honeymoon is the charge. Mrs.
Allis was formerly Mrs. Herbert Al
ward and married soon after the death
of her first husband.
She. became Mrs. Allis in July, 1901,
and went to London. Here Allis met 4
French actress whom he had known
previous TO his marriage. Leaving his

mission was agreeable, and added a
general condemnation of the testimony
given so far, which, though interest
ing, he said, and not absolutely value
less, did not bear directly upon the
points at Issue. He also expressed the
hope that an effort be made by the
parties to the dispute to come to an
agreement, promising them the aid OF
the commission. His remarks general
ly We're plea for an adjustment be-
tween the parties at issue. Two of
the companies by their counsel asked
time and approved of a ten days ad-
journment of the commission. This
will be decided this afternoon.
1t is learned by the correspondent
of the Associated Press -tiiar all the
large companies have not yet assent
ed to the proposed outside agreement,
but that in all probability they will
consent and continue to work as .
unit as they did during the strike. The
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company has not vet been heard
frOLr on the matter. Those which are
said to be in the agreement scheme
are the Delaware, Lackawanna and
" NSlCl II, thC tAiNSs ihC Dtitl-
ware and Hudson and the Erie COM
pany, which controls the Pennsylvania
Coal company and the Hillside Coal
and Iron company.
1t has been realized that at least two
of the four demands of the miners
those for a uniform wage scale and
the weighing of coal-cannot be salts
factorily settled in the hearing room,
but must be fixed up at the mines.
The proposition to have the mine work
ers make contracts with their employ
ers only, and not as it is done in the
bituminous states, where the operators
have state or district organizations
which recognize the United Mine
Workers, does not carry with it a rec
ognition of that union, and on that
ground it is not likely that the two
parties will be able to settle it with
out resort TO the arbitration commits
sion.
The testimony yesterday was mostly
given by doctors, who were positive
that mining coal was most unhealthy
business. DR.. Roberts asserted that
the situation during the late strike was
a state Of war and that "both parties
were Incorporate. He thought $575
was enough TO maintain United
States standard of living for a family.

Official Statement.

The Associated Press today sent
out the following from its Chicago
office:
General Manager Goodnow, in an
official statement today, regarding
last nights holdup of the Rock Island
passenger train a mile and half west
of Davenport, said:
''The train was stopped by men dis
playing a red light. Five masked men
compelled the engineer and fireman
to cut off the mail and baggage cars
and run them n mile west The en-
gineer and fireman, at the point of
revolvers, were forced to open the eX-
press car door. The baggageman and
eXpressman were taken from their
ears, three men guarding the train
men, while two of the robbers blew
open the safe in the express car. All
the contents were taken The roof
and sides of the ear were badly dam
aged. The train was detained two
hours and 10 minutes. No one was
injured. The police of Davenport and
Rock Island were notified and were
quickly on the ground Bloodhounds
were also promptly on the scene. Ev-
cry effort is being made to trace the
robbers. The trainmen are unable to-
give a good description of the men.
The railroad and express companies
will offer a large reward for the
thieves
At the Office of the United States
| Express company it is said the loss
to the company will not exceed $1,000;

of the jambroee of certain members of
the "Sultan of Sulu'' company in this
city, Sunday night, are going the
rounds. The fact that several women
members of the company We're visitors
at saloons and public gambling rooms,
and gave fantastic exhibitions of high
kicking, and the arrest of Robert Lett,
who had been in the cast for Colonel
Jefferson Budd, while he sat at play
in n gambling house, are now being
made use of for political purposes.
1t seems that he had quarreled with
his wife, who was Romona, one of the
wives of the sultan of the play, be-
cause she would not give him money
with which to gamble. 1t is said that
in fight which followed the cOntro-
versy, portly woman of the COM

him. Lett and his wife were discharged
here by Manager Braden on his ar

GERMANY's HEAVY DEFICIT
1t Has Doubled During the Past Year, and
Now FOots Up n Matter of $37,-
100000.

Berlin, Nov. 22.-In the reichstag
yesterday the secretary of the treas
ury, Baron Won Thielmann, announced
that the deficit in the imperial budget
for 1908 was estimated to be $3I,.
500 900. The budget, he added, would
be submitted in two or three weeks.
The deficit for 1902 was $14,75O,000.
1t would not do, the secretary said,
to be always providing for deficits by
loans, nor could the contributions of
the federated states be increased. Nev-
erthelesS it was probable that the
states would ultimately have to bear
the deficit. What ought to be done
was to increase the imperial revenues
so as to balance the expenditures.
Looking around for suitable objects
for increased taxation he saw beer
and tobacco, and he begged the men,
berS of the house to keep these in
view while thinking how to balance
the budget. Baron Won Thielmann also
intimated that the government intend
ed as soon as practicable to propose
pensions for widows and orphans, AS
suming that $50 per person was enough
for the pensions of widows and orphans
it would take $40.000,000.
1t was impossible to say how much
the government tariff bill would yield,
but a mere mechanical estimate based
on the present imports showed that
the customs receipts would increase
$40, 500 600 The supporters of the,com-
missions tariff schedules thought a
total of $125, 100000 would be derived.
Secretary Won Thielmann mentioned
considerations that reduced the esti-
mate largely

MUST LIST CASH ON HAND
benevolent Insurance Societies Funds Sub
ject to Taxation Says the supreme
Court.

Carlyle, Ills, Nov. 22.--The Illinois
supreme court has just decided that all
cash in the hands of the treasurer of
benevolent insurance society is sub
ject to taxation regardless of whether
a part of the fund is subject to pay
ment to beneficiaries. The opinion was
rendered in the case of the state coun-
Gil of the Catholic knights of Illinois
VS.. the board of review of Effingham
county.
The treasurer of this society refused
to list the money in his hands for
taxation because there We're outstand
ing orders payable to beneficiaries of
deceased members. The supreme court
says that the fact that orders have
been drawn upon benefit fund prior
to April 1 to pay beneficiaries of de-
ceased members does not exempt the
fund from taxation to the amount of
such orders, if no part of the fund has
actually been paid out before April 1.
