SOMETHING OF 9.,LoTAARIo
Grand Duke Paul of Russia Has Had
Several Sensational Love
Affairs.

(Copyrig hted, 1902. by Press Publishing Coz
VIENNA. Nov. S.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram )-The clsndes-
tine marriage of Grand Duke Paul Alex
androvitch of Russia and Mrs. Pistolcors,
the daughter of his one-time aide-de-
camp, is the latest act in a remarkable do
mestic drama. The grand duke had OBJ
tanned through Poviedonostseff the procur-
ator OF the holy synod, a separation for
Mrs. Pistolcors from her husband on the
solemn pledge that he would never marry
her. That pledge he broke in resentment
of the czar's contemptuous attitude toward
the woman, who, 1t was understood, should
be received at court. Grand Duke Paul
was married first in June. 1889. to Princess
Alexandra OF Greece, who then was 10
years old, very charming and deeply in
love with her handsome husband But
within a year the princess discovered that
he was paying marked attention to the
Grand Duchess Serge. then the most beau
tiful and attractive woman in the Russian
court, the wife of his next older brother,
and the sister of the present czarina. In
the summer of 1891 all the imperial family
assembled at the Crimea. The princess
was expecting a visit from the stork. She
was made twice exceedingly unhappy by
her husbands course, and in September
there was what was reported to be a car
riage recident, though there are those who
say the truth is she committed suicide
by jumping out of the carriage when the
horses were running down a steep hill
dying fve days later. The king OF Greece
wrote a bitter letter to Czar Alexander III
and has never set foot in Russia since
then, refusing even to accompany the
queen to the czsr's deathbed. After Grand
Duke Paul's marriage with Mrs. Pistolcors
the car dismissed him from the Russian
army, in which he was a lieutenant gen.
eral and commander Of the Guards corps
and has banished the grand duke and his
new wife. They will take up their resi-
dence at Cannes, France.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S-The War depart
ment made public today statement by
General r. P. Hughes in reply to charges
contained in a letter written by Henry
Loomis Nelson to a Boston paper on Aug
ust 25.
General Hughes quotes the following ex-
tract from the letter:
THE Eighteenth regiment of regulars
marched from 1loilo in the south to CapiS
in the north OF Panay under orders to burn
every town from which they were at
tackled. AS a result they left a strip of
land sixty miles wide from one end of the
island to the other, on which the tradi-
tional crow could not have flown without
provisions. That is what burning means
and no more. 1t is not done for the fun
of The thing but out of stern necessity"
General Hughes, who commanded In
Panay at the time, says the burning of
Ilollo was shown by the official records OF
the insurgent counsel to have been the
work of the insurgents. He says the troops
by some work, some hghting and much ex-
posure to fire were able to wrench a por-
tion OF Iloilo from the flames.
After reviewing the work OF the Eigh-
teenth in Panay, he adds:
at has thus been shown that the Eigh-
teenth regulars had no order to burn all
towns from which they were attacked and
that they did not leave a strip of land
sixty miles wide from one end of the island
to the other over which the traditional crow
could not have flown without provisions
but as a matter of fact they did leave the
country unintured, the towns and villages
intact, the roads improved, the bridges
built and the natives of the section covered
were left in the full enjoyment of their
property and rights"

as there are 10000 tobacco factories in
Germany the combine cannot secure a
monopoly.

Therefore Charges Against Western Roads

LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION NOT MONOPOLY
Traffic Representative Says Its Operations
Secure Better Prices.
DENIES RAILWAY MEMS ASSERTIONS
Dressed Beef Product of Live Cattle
and Therefore Cannot Provide
More Regular TraRc to Roads
Operating In District.

CHICAGO, Nov. st w. Tomlinson,
trsific representative for the Chicago Live
Stock association, appeared before the In
terstate Commerce commission today and
refuted the charge made by The president
of the Chicago Great Western yesterday
that the live stock association Is an abso-
Lutte monopoly.
Mr.. Tomlinson asserted that shippers
we're not compelled to do business with
the Live Stock association. but It had
been found advantageous to them TO do so.
inasmuch as their stock could then be
sold at better profit.
Mr.. Tomlinson denied Mr.. Stickneys
statement that the reason the rate on
dressed beef is lower than on live stock
from Missouri river points is because
dressed beef Is a more regular trafic.
1T cannot be-" said Mr. Tomlinson.
"snce live stock supplies all the dressed
beef that is shipped. claim, on the other
hand. that live stock is a more regular
traflc than dressed beef"
He further endeavored to Show that the
eighteen railroads against whom the Live
Stock association has preferred charges
have for several years been discriminating
against the Chicago market in favor OF
South Omaha, South st. Paul, st. Joseph
and Kansas City markets.
The cross examination OF Mr.. Tomlinson
was not finished when the commissioners
brought the proceedings to an end, with the
statement that an adjournment was neces-
sary, as the commission has to sit next
week in Washington.
The railroad attorneys said the hearing
had brought out SOLE important issues
and much time would be needed to prepare
defense.
After some discussion the commission
adjourned to meet in Chicago on Jsnu-
ary 20.

legged buying Of his election from the Cas-
tellane district Of the department of the
Basses- Alpes has renewed interest in the
counts entertainment Of King Charles OF
Portugal last Monday at Chateau Marais,
near st. Cheron.
The cost of the days shooting has been
estimated at not less than $4,000. Every
thing was done on a magnificent scale.
There was a special train to and from
Par's-the distance is about 100 niles At
luncheon and dinner the rarest, costliest
delicacies and wines were served with
prodigality. The equipage in which Count
Boni took the king from the railway sta
tion to the chateau was more brilliantly
equipped and splendldly horsed than that Of
many sovereigns. On such an occasion the
count not only displays a regal taste, but
he permits no money consideration to enter
into his arrangements.
The hunting suite was appsrelled in cos
tunes copied exactly from those worn by
the huntsmen of the "Grands Monarque,"
Louis XIV but the king wore sober,
workmanlike, brown tweed shooting suit and
an alpine hat. The countess, who received
the king on the steps Of the chateau and
went on his arm into the luncheon room,
was attired in a simple blue serge dress,
with bolero Jacket. In the shooting King
Charles, who is a crack shot. accounted for
125 pheasants and thirty-hve partridges-
about one-third OF the entire bag. On re-
turning to the chateau a light fepast was
served, during which Boldis' orchestra from
Paris supplied fine music. Then followed

POPE SEES END APPROACHING
Speaks FeelinGly on the Subject to
Australian Cardinal who
Visits Him.

Copyright. 1902, by Press Publishing Coz
ROME, Nov. S.-(New York World Cable
gram-Special Telegram. cardinal Moran
had farewell audience on Sunday with the
pope, who said to him:
Cardinal. | advise you to leave imme-
diately. for the good OF your diocese, where
you are so loved, but at the same time I
would wish you to remain"
why holy father?" asked the cardinal.
ITO spare you the trouble of returning
soon from Australia for the next conclave, {"
was the reply.
Cardinal Moran naturally answered with
q compliment.
The vatican pTelates have noticed that
lately the pontifi has often referred in
audiences to his not far distant end. On
Tuesday he completed twenty-four years
eight months and fourteen days OF his
pontihcate, which is only shorter than that
Of St. Peter and Plus TX. Yet is is
affirmed in vatican circles that the pope
has not been so well in ten years as he is
now, when his ninety-third birthday is but
four months away.
Father Dunford, the leader OF the Eng
lish pilgrimage, which has just been re-
ceived, tells the World correspondent he
thinks the pope looks better than when he
saw nun Two years ago. NOtninB ABOUT
the pope is more to be marveled at than
his wonderful memory. Father Dunford
told the pontifi that he is the rector of a
chapel at Lineoln's Inn Fields, London,
whereupon the pope replied;
"Yes. l remember II perfectly. / used
TO say mass there when on a visit to Lon
don forty-six years ago" Then he went
on to minutely describe the chapel as il
was. He took great interest In the de-
scription OF the changes the chapel has
undergone since then.
Cardinal Svampa. the archbishop oi
Bologna, has forbidden his priests to ride
bicycles in public This prohibition clashes
with the permission granted by Other
bishops. II is rumored that the vatican
will publish soon a decision on the Ques-
tion Of allowing the use OF bicycles b
| eeelesiastics.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. Ss-(New York
World Cablegram-Special Telegram@-The

expressed a wish that the room and all
it's contents should be preserved intact as
a memorial Of his great deed. II had
been kept in that condition for forty years,
but the present czarina thought 1t could
be turned to better use as q bath room, so
she ordered all the papers, documents and
furniture sent to a museum. This has
raised a storm of resentment among those
Russians, probably the majority, who are
glad OF an excuse for attacking her ma
