representatives.

Berne, Switzerland, April 11.-Italy
and Switzerland have severed diplo-
matte relations. The article which
led to the differences appeared in an
anarchist sheet, published in Geneva.
Signor Silvestrelli demanded that the
authorities prosecute the paper. Blu.
the Swiss government replied that 1t
could not act without complaint be-
ing lodged by the Italian govern
ment. Italy declined to adopt this
course, and the correspondence be-
came acrimonious, leading finally to
the rupture CT diplomatic relations.
The Bundesrath has sent the fol
lowing communication to parliament:
'Regretable Misunderstanding have
occurred between us and Signor Sill
Vestrelli, the Italian minister. We
have felt constrained to request the
Italian governmnt, in the interests CT
the good relations Of the two coun-
tries, to recall Signor Silvestrelli.
The Italian government having re-
fused to do so, we broke off relations
with Signor Silvestrelli, whereupon
the Italian government on its part
has now broken off relations with our
minister st Rome. We shall publish
the documents relating to this con-
fiict."

MISS STONE HERE.
AMERICAN REACHES
NEW YORK.
Birth Ct Mrs. TsiIka's Baby Stopped
Insulting and Cruel Remarks
Of Brgands.

New York, April 11.-Miss Ellen Nj.
Stone, the missionary who was cap
tured by brigands in Bulgaria ard
held for ransom, arrived here yester
d.. on the Deutschland. She looked
pale and worn, and said the sea voy
age had made her very i'll. She was
met at the steamers pier by her
brother, Charles A. Stone, and by
many other relatives and friends. Miss
Stone said the brigands were not SO
fierce as might have been imagined
They said many insulting things, but
never struck or beat either her or
her companion, MINNIE. Tsilka.
There have been several reports
printed which stated that Nine. Tsilka
had been held for ransom by our
captors," said Miss Stone, "but that
is a mistake. | was the one they
wanted, and they always take mar
ried lady to chaperone single one.
no matter how old the latter may be.
The brigands meant to take the first
married woman they came across, to
accompany me, but the one they first
found happened to be Mrs. Wosheva
a native missionary and widow. who
was very iii at the time. Mrs. Tsilka
was therefore decided on by the
brigands, for which / was very thank
full afterward, and / will tell you why
Seven weeks before we were re-
leased a baby was born to Mrs.
Tsilka. The brigands had, by this
time, become so insulting and cruel
in their remarks that it was becom-
ing unbearable. The appearance of
the baby stopped all this, for the rea-
son that the brigands Of Turkey be-
lieve that a curse will settle on them
if they do harm a child or its mother.
Our treatment, after the birth of the
baby was excellent. We began to
get better food, although / must ad
nit that it was generally very good,
and the sneering remarks stopped.

our release fell through or became

ARMY SERIOUSLY ACCUSED.
Charges CT Major Gardener of Mis-
treatment Of Filipinos Brought
to Light.

Washington, April 11.-Gen. Cor
abin yesterday received a cablegram
from Gen. Chaffee stating that Major
Gardener, civil governor of the prov
ince CT Tabayas, has been directed to
submit specific charges, but that
these had not yet been received. Gen,
Chatfee added that when the specifi
cations were at hand the investigation
would be hurried as fast as possible.
When the senate committee on the
Philippines met yesterday Senator
Lodge. chairman Of the committee,
laid before the committee the report
CT Major Cornelius Gardener, civil
governor OF the Philippine province
Of Tayabas, to which reference was
made by Gen. Miles in his correspon.
ence with Secretary Root. This re-
pert had been withheld. and this
caused the adoption Of resolution
at the last meeting of the committee
requesting the secretary of war to
send the report to the committee.
Major Gardener. in the course Of
his report, practically accused some
army officers and men of undoing the
good work done by the civil authori.
ties by abusing. torturing somewhat
and insulting the natives, not making
any distinction between friendly and
unfriendlyz natives, and thus making
the people at large our enemies. He
urged that American troops be placed
in garrisons and native troops be
used to do campaigning among ma
tiyes.
The charges were referred to Gen.
Chaffee for investigation. Gen. Mac.
Arthur was witness before the sen
ate committee yesterday.

Superintendent George Taylor Seeks
10 Add Some Progressive Methods
to Kenosha School Work.
COUNTY TO FURNISH THE MEANS.
1t is Proposed to Unite a Number of the
Free Transportation for Pupils.

County Superintendent George Tay.
lor is a progressive official. For years
the county of Kenosha has been paw
ing out large amounts of money for
the education of children in sparselY
settled portions of the county, and in
common with the move now being
made by the State department of edu-
cation, Superintendent Taylor is
planning to unite a number of the dis
| tricts in the county and in this manner
furnish better school opportunities to
the children and at the same time re-
duce the expense to the county to a
minimum
Better schools and free transporta-
ton for pupils is the head line adopted
by the superintendent. IF possible
the plan will have it's first trial in this
county in the town of Paris. In this
town there are ten school districts and
they are scattered all over the town.
Some of them are good schools and
are turning our good scholars, but IN
examination of statistics shows that
it is costing greal deal more to edu-
cate the children of Paris than is
necessary.
The reports for the year show that
the average monthly attendance at the
ten schools in Paris was 81 or 81
pupils for each building maintained.
The cost for the education of each
child in Paris during the year was
S41.5O, while the average cost in other
parts of the county was from SO to S12.
The plan would be to unite these ten
school districts into one graded school.
The erection of new building be-
tween Mornings Corners and Paris
Corners would make a school located
in the middle of the district. Ia order
to make it possible for every child to
attend school means of transporta.
ton will be secured TO take the chill
| dren from their homes to the schools.
A similar plan is being made for the
: combination of schools in the neigh
borhood of Wards Corners in the
town of Bristol.
The plan as outlined by the County
Superintendent has the full support of
the State superintendent and he has
urged that the plan be adopted where
ever it is possible. The district school
is good in its way but the progress of
Kenosha county is so fast that it is
high time that even traditions be laid
aside and the children be given every
possible opportunity to secure an edu-
cation.
The plan will be presented to the
people of Paris at the next meeting of
the Districts and if possible it will be
put in operation before the opening of
the new school year.
