DEPLoREs VANDERBILT FETE.

Herr Bebel charged the Government
with cooperating with Russia in sup
pressing political discomfort. The Rus
sian police, he asserted, acted in Prus-
sia as though at home. They received
every sort Of service from the Prus-
sian authorities and dozens of Russian
secret police agents were busy in Ber-
lin and other centers. spying upon the
doings of Russian students or Russian
residents. This. Herr Bebel declared,
was one exhibition of Caesarism, as
practiced in Germany. Others were
the receptions of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
unnecessary gifts to foreign. nations
and spectacular paradings of army
corps. All the fuss and glory of mill
tary life in times of peace was time
wasted on frivolities. which could far
better be spent in actual drill and
study.
Abiding again to the receptions of
Vanderbilt at Dantzic. Herr Bebel said:
what has he done to deserve all this
applause? These things give the i'm
pression of weakness, not of strength.
BITTER ATTACK UPON RUSSIA.
In the course of a ferocious attack
upon Russia, which caused the sup
porters of the Ministry to shake their
heads in dismay. because such Ian
guage about neighboring power had
rarely been heard in the German Par
lament, Herr Bebl said:

BERLIN. Dec. 1O.-Chancellor Won
Bulow ard Herr Bebel, the Socialist
leader, engaged in a lively debate in
the Reichstag to-day. The Monarchist,
who was dressed as for a drawing
room, was amusing and cheerful, his
lucid sentences falling easily on the un-
derstanding. He disposed of diff
Guilty with airy word and gesture. The
republican, with a quality of voice
strangely stirring the emotions, excited
his believers to enthusiasm and his op-
ponents to anger, one passionate sem
tence following another to the climax.
Herr Bebel declared Russia could
easily seize Kiaochau whenever it suit
ed her fancy. and therefore Germany
should exercise her moral influence to
prevent difficulty in East Asia. The
speaker predicted that there would be
a large increase in the military esti-
mate.
Herr Bebel further asserted that the
naval enthusiasts, including those in
the highest circles, were quietly en-
gagged in propa ganda for a new
squadron of battleships. The speaker
also attacked the imperial financial sys-
tenn on the ground that it imposed
undue burdens on the poor, saying that
a larger income should be derived from
the inheritance taxes, which could cas-
lily be made to yield $75,00O.0OO addition
al; but, he added, the classes owning

MAP OF PANAMA REPUBLIC.
THE FRONTIER THREAT
ENED BY COLOMBIA.

The general Stairs plan for military
action in this direction contemplates
the concentration of at least three and
possibly five regiments on the Atlantic
seaboard, preferably at New York
where the transport Mcclellan is now
ready for service and the Fitzpatrick
will be ready on December IA.
The troops designated for this service
are the Sixteenth Infantry, Colonel B.
d. Price commanding. which is now at
Fort Mcpherson, Georgia, with the ex-
ception of four companies which are
at Fort SIocum. New York; the Ninth
Infantry. Colonel James Ragen, which
is now divided between Fort Niagara
and Madison Barracks, New York, with
the exception of Company B. which is
in Peking, China, and the Twenty
eighth Battery of Mountain Artillery,
Captain 0. /. Straub. which is now at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
RAILROAD ESTIMATES ASKED.
That other regiments will be added
to this force seems probable, inasmuch
as the Chesapeake and Ohio Rilroad
has been asked to submit an estimate
for the transportation of 5000 troops to
the Atlantic seaboard. The Southern
Railroad also has been asked to submit
estimates for the transportation of
troops.
In addition to the lack of confirma-
ton of the reports of warlike move
ments in Colombia there is considerable
opposition to the sending of military
expedition to Panama. The Navy De-
partment is satisfied that it can handle
any emergency that will arise AT the
Navy Department it was announced to-
day that the marine contingent on the
isthmus would be reinforced by 800 men
now on the Prairie, orders having been
sent to Admiral Barker, commanding
the North Atlantic squadron, now at
Guantanamo, to dispatch the Prairie
to the isthmus. She viii leave to-
morrow and Will reach Colon by next
Monday. 1t is felt that, thus rein
forced, the marines now on the isthmus

ARMY AND NAVY DIFFER.

The feeling between the army and
navy that generally crops out when
ever there is international trouble re-
quiring their joint service has appeared.
Though the navy insists that the situa-
tion is well within its control. the army
takes the stand that troops may be
needed and they are therefore prepared.
Secretary Root has not taken up the
question for final decision, nor has the
President. 1t is pointed out that a
fully equipped oversee military expe-
dition to Panama would tend to make
the world believe that the United States
contemplated permanent occupation.
there being, generally regarded, a wide
difference between the landing of ma
rines in country like Panama and
the sending thither of a carefully pre-
pared military column.

SORROW FOR DEATH
OF THERESA VAUGHN
Coincidence Passed
Away in Worcester Insane
Asylum, Where She Had Been
Since April, 1901.

Tho death OF Theresa Vaughn. the once
popular comedienne. who died OF paresis
at the Worcester (Mass.) Hospital. has
caused widespread sorrow along the
rialto. Miss Vaughn was one Of the
most popular actresses on the stage a
few years ago. and the expressions Of
sorrow over her death heard to-day are
both numerous and sincere.
Miss Vaughn had been an inmate of
the Worcester Hospital for the Insane
since April. 1901. her mind having failed
nearly a year before that when she was
flling an engagement at the Grand
Opera-IIouse in Plttsburg.
She was a membe of the OFT family
and was born in New York. There
were thirteen Of the OFT children. and
all OF them adopted the stage. The
most famous were Joseph, who died
three years ago. INC Miss Vaughn.
When Edward e. Rice made his pro-
duction of "1492'' 1t was Theresa Vaughn
who made the big particular hit of the
piece. She also starred in "EvanEe-
line and several other Rice pieces, She
was the first to sing ANNIE Rooney

THE POPE AND THE
TERRITORIAL FLAG

Editor Advertiser: presume
that most people here fully approve of
the courteous refusal of Secretary Car
ter to place the Government flag at
half-mast on account of the death of
the late excellent Pope. That refusal
was very wisely based upon the ground
that it has not been done "at the an
nouncement of the death of any for
eign potentate.'
1 desire, however, to point out that
even If it We're the custom thus to no
tice the deaths of foreign potentates
such notice would be highly improper
in the case of Pope of Rome. For
this reason: The supremacy claimed
by the Pope is a universal spiritual
lordship over the whole of Christen-
dom; over all persons claiming to be
Christians. The Pope claims to be the
Head, not merely of the Latin, or Ro-
man church, but of all Christian bod
les, including the great "Orthodox"
Greek church of Russia and the ORR
ent, as we'll as of all Protestant
churches. He demands the subsection
and obedience of all these churches to
Rome. They correspondingly resent
and resist that demand.
claiming the respect due to any other
foreign potentate is, therefore. to ig-
more the vital and strenuous controver-
sy of many centuries past, as well as
the inherent difference between a civil
and spiritual lordship. We Protest.
ants, however democratic, recognize
and treat with courtesy the local au-
thorlty of kings and emperors: but the
universal authority of a Spiritual EN-
peror. like the Pope, is something that
we hold in disdain, and resent as a
deadly usurpation.
1t is due to the late Pope to note.
that he was irenic in disposition and
never needlessly set forth the exclu-
sive claims of the Papacy In an Of
fensive manner. We gladly distin-
guish between the good man and the
usurping potentate.

Newspaper files received rom New

the Canadian-Pacific line being adopt-
ed, and sufficient subsidy being voted
by Parliament, the Union Company are
prepared to Immediately construct
three steamers of 5000 tons each, to be
exclusively employed in that service"
The Auckland Star" says:
Already there are indications that
an attempt will be made during this
session Of Parliament to get rid of the
Auckland-San Francisco mail service.
There may be nothing in the rumor
that the Union Steamship Company
proposes to build special steamers for
a Vancouver service on condition of
receiving a Government subsidy. But
every year we may safely expect that
Southern members will advocate the
claims of some other route in prefer
ence to the Frisco route, and judging
from an article which appeared late
ly in the "Lyttelton Times" the CAM
paign against the Auckland service
has already begun.

Spreckels intend to apply this year for
an increased subsidy for a fortnightly
San Francisco service. When the
Frisco line was last before the House

fer Mr.. Spreckels a poundage subsidy

was fixed for 1s months only. so as
to allow the matter to come up again
for discussion during this session,
When the question is raised in the
House NO doubt the request for an ini
creased subsidy will be made an argut
