WILL NOT ABDICATE.

Vienna. Aug. 1S.-The seventy
third birthday of Emperor Francis
Joseph was celebrated in the capital
today with a review of troops, deco
rations of the city and the granting
of amnesty to many prisoners serv-
ing sentences for minor offenses. 1t
has been persistently rumOred of late
that the venerable emperor would
signalize the day by abdicating the
throne of the dual monarchy, but
those acquainted with the indOmita-
Bile though gentle character of the
aged monarch never for an instant
credited this report. True, the en-
peror has experienced enough trouble
during the half century he has occu-
pied the throne to crush the spirit of
most men Bereft Of those he loved
dearest, his only son and neir
the victim of heinous crime, his
august consort felled by the stiletto
of an assassin, and the heir apparent
to the throne, Franz Ferdinad, we'd
ded to a woman of inferior rank
Francis Joseph certainly has had
more than his full share of domestic
sorrow. In affairs of state he has
been equally unfortunate. though per
sonally he is recognized as one Of the
wisest a1d most astute rulers of Eu-
rope.

FRENCH WRITER THINKS
PRESIDENT BLUNDERED
Admitted Design OF United States
to Control Canal.

PARIS, April 4.-Aleide Ebray, who Is
frequently inspired by the foreign office,
has an article in today's .'Debats'' on
President RooseveIts Chicago speech on
the Monroe Doctrine N Ebray ex-
presses the opinion that President
Roosevelt has slightly enlarged the doe
trlue without making clear phrases
which are capable Of various fnterpreta-
tons.
Hitherto. according TO President
Roosevelt's own messages, the doctrine
has failed to serve as d shield for the
South American republics unless Eu-
ropean powers sought the acquisition of
territory. The President now speaks Of
the acquisition OF any control as really
equivalent to territorial aggrandize-
ment." The writer dilatcs on the use o.
the word control" He says the ques-
ton may early arise whether the seizure
Of customs constitutes a caS calling for
interference by the United States.
NJ Ebray thinks President Roosevelt
bIundered in citing the Panama Canal
as an instance where it is necessary TO
prevent Europeans from obtaining con-
troll BY building the canal. as he thereby
practically admits that the United States
is obtaining such control, which viii
consequently strengthen the hands of
the treaty opponents at Bogota.

Sir John Long to Make Inquiry of En-

House of Commons.

~LUNDON. April 5-As the result Of
much dissatisfaction among business
men over the delay in receiving mails
from America. Sir John Long Will ask
the Postmaster General in the House Of
Commons on Monday for an explanation
regarding the deterioration of the At
lantjc mail service, particularly since
the steamship combine was formed The
inquiry proposed by Sir John has the
Endorsement of the entire business com
munity OF London and other large cities
The mail service from The United
States has been constantly growing
worse. it is said, The mail due here on
Saturday last did not arrive until Tues
day and that due here on Wednesday
has not yet arrived
The New York postofice officials are
also blamed for the delay. as it is as
serted that they show almost erratic
fayoritism for certain steamships ire
spective of the time OF their arrival
here.
The Washington times., 1903-04-05

Second Assistant Postmaster General
ShaIlenberger said yesterday morning
that no complaints had been lodged with
the department. about the mail service
with England and that he did not know
Of any reason for the dispatch. He said.
There could be no cratic favoritism
on the part of the New York officials
because the mails are sent on fixed
schedule which is arranged in ad-
vance. When two ships sail within
few hours of each other, one belonging
10 the American Line and one to an
other line. we use the American because
it is under contract with the Govern
ment and no additional expense is in
vOlved. But we make this discrimina-
tion only when the difference in time is
but d few hours, and experience has
shown that we hold the mails for that
reason for less time than the English
postof5ce department
Our records for the past three
months show that there were no unusual
delays. aud / believe that the trouble
mentioned in the dispatch is simply a
delayed passage such as is liable TO
happen 10 any steamship. Our Office
has heard nothing OF the complaints ami
! am inclined TO think that the matter
is one OF personal animosity upon the
part OF some individual whose mail has
unavoidably been delayed.
