LONDON, April 4.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram. )--Lord Ed
mond Fitzmaurice. a brother Of Foreign
Secretary Lansdowne, and himself formerly
under secretary Of foreign affairs, says:
Il take a very unfavorable view of the
present situation in Macedonia Things
are going from bad to worse, but the
crisis probably won't come for few weeks
not until the weather Is finer"
Lord suschen informs the World corre-
spondent that the position now exactly re-
sembles the situation when he went to
Constantinople twenty-three years ago as
a special envoy.
That was just before the Russo-Turkish
war" he says. Then, as now, there were
diplomatic negotiations among the powers.
Everything now depends on the nature Of
the Austro- Russian agreement.
II don't think Turkey will attack Bull
garia. She wouldn't risk It. The COM
plication will come In Macedonia itself,
and that may easily involve complications
among the great powers, The situation
is one out of which anything may come,
as one never xnows at arst Whist are the
real springs Of movements OF this kind.
They may be found in quarters where the
loudest protests are raised"

B00MS RIVERVIEW DISTRICT
Grand View Improvement Club starts
Movement for More Paving
and Car Tracks.

Several recommendations were made dur
Ing the meeting of the Grand View I'm
provement club Saturday evening which
may, If they become realization, result
In the beautihcation of the southern part
OF the city and also in booming that sec
zion OF the town. II vas proposed to ask
for the extension of the Harney street car
line along Sixth to Center street which
would grant a needed relief to those resi-
dents who are now compelled to walk
through ankle deep mud, in inclem~ut
weather to board a car that will take them
into the business Oart Of the city.
The club won the distinction Of being the
first to agitate a Fourth Of July celebra-
tion, and plans we're suggested for the OBJ
servance of that day by a rousfng demon
stration to be made in River View park
under the auspices Of the residents Of the
southern part of Omaha.
1t was recommended also that Tenth
street be improved by noFt PAY: lug on that
thoroughfare from Center to Bancroft, and
a committee will start the petition among
the residents on that street within few
days.
The matter of the street car extension on
Sixth street was referred to a committee
consisting OF Messrs. Kessler, Mcdonald and
Cook, who will confer with the South Side
Improvement club and secure the SUPP ort
Of that organization il possible.
1t was suggested that the school hoard
purchase the two vacant lots east of the
George Francis Train school building that
the property may be converted into a play
ground for the students who attend that
school. The suggestion will be brought 10
the attention of the school board.
Upon the club udjouTning it was voted TO
meet two weeks from last night, owing 10
counter attractions on the following meet
ing night.

DISCRETION IS PROFITABLE
German Omcer Gets His Reward for
Being n ScapeEOat for the
Emperor.

Copyright, 1905 by Press Publishing Coz
BERLIN, April Anew York World
Cablegram - Special Telegram. )-General
Won Hahnke, appointed a field marshal in
the German army to fill the vacancy caused
by the death Of the king Of Saxony, was
once a scapegoat for Emperor William.
Some two years ago the emperor made a
speech to the Gear Alexander II regiment
so fiery and warlike that there was an i'm
mediate outcry, not alone in Germany but
in all Europe.
At that time Won Hahnke was the chief
OF the emperor's military cabinet, a prime
tavorite Of his sovereign, and regarded as
one Of his most influential advisers, the
closest man in the army to the emperor.
In looking for some one upon whom TO
place the responsibility for his impoIitic
speech, the emperor fixed upon General
Won Hahnke and dismissed him. He was
succeeded by General Hurlson Won Haseler.
Won Hahnke quietly took the entire re-
sponsibility for the emperor's speech and
so impressed the emperor with his bearing
under the circumstances that he was made
governor Of Berlin. That he is still high
in favor with the emperor Is shown by his
appointment to the vacant field marshal
ship.

OUTLOOK FOR IRELAND BRIGHT
schemes Now Proposed Promise to
settle old and Vexed
Problems.

Copyright. 1903. by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON. April 4-(New York World
Cablegram - Special TelegramD - ireland
again occupies the center Of the political
stage in the United Kingdom. All eyes are
concentrated oh the unprecedented situa-
tion created there by the British cabinets
complete change Of policy. The kings plan
10 visit ireland next August is regarded as
signal evidence Of his satisfaction at the
turn affairs had taken. Largely owing to
his direct influence the land bill, though
needing extensive amendments to make It
workable. is regarded by Irishmen as the
strongest evidence Of the ministry's good
intentions.
Then the grant for Irish development Of
$3.50, 900 a year is intended to be the founda-
tion for the home rule edihce An Irish au-
thorty representative of all sections and
classes to be created later on to manage
this money is to be followed by the form
ing Of national legislative council-a
parliament in all but the name-to manage
exclusively Irish affairs.
The munhcent offer Of w j. Pirrie and
Lord Iveagh to establish a system OF trans
portation, without profit to themselves,
throughout Ireland in order to enable the
farmers to get their produce cheaply to
market is made by them in recognition Of
| the improved state Of feeling throughout
Ireland between the hitherto hostile classes.
The idea OF the scheme is to feed the rail-
ways by motor vans from the country dis
tricts, to free existing canals and to
! canalize certain rivers.
| Lord Iveagh a multi millionaire, is pre-
| pared to sink $40 900 900 in those projects.
| Nothing could be more significant of the
| condition OF Ireland than the announcement
that all recruiting for the police is stopped.
| the police being a mainstay Of the evil
| system now abandoned. OF course, acei-
dents may happen TO prevent the fruition
| Of the new policy. The government may
be defeated on some English measure. The
! Irish convention may (though this Is i'm
probable) adopt a captious attitude toward
the land bill. In the latter event the gov
ernment would drop the bill. Chief Sec
| retary Wyndham, Viceroy Dudley and the
under secretary. Sir Antony mcdonnell,
who are personally identified with the new
regime, would throw up their Offices and
! affairs would fall back into the old rut.
But the outlook is vastly more hopeful
now than when Gladstone introduced his
/ home rule bill. Then the unionists were
savagely hostile Now the liberals are will
ing to help the unionists in the work OF
pacifcation.

in Paris a great newspaper to champion
the purity OF the stage, kissing orgaul2a-

in talking OF the kissing brigades which he
is contemplating, the prospect of which has
caused a commotion here.
Senator Beranger Is the father of the

privilege is undisputed. But one mans
kissing starts a riot and he is elected as
disorderly. Right-minded men and women
must act together. Then the police will
not dare TO interfere.
There is a sort of freemasonry among
authors and journalists here, and often the
latter produce the worst plays, so no help
comes from that direction.
'The small theaters are the worst offend
srs, and the nudity is as bad as the words,
even in the childrens spectacles. At the
Chatele there is the Bacchus ballet, and at
the opera the new 'orphee au Enferes.

Tower Follows Suit.
BERLIN, April 4.-Much criticism has
been heard in diplomatic circles because
the embassies of the United States In Eu-
rope we're not housed in accordance with
the Importance Of the country. 1t has been
explained that pretcntious houses were not
leased because the ambassador had to pay
the rent from his own pocket, but 1t has
been hard for Europe TO understand that
the United States makes no allowance for
its diplomatic corps to entertain.
For the first time the embassy OF the
United States here is to be in palatial
residence belonging to a nobleman OF high
rank, now in reduced circumstances. The
new ambassador Charlemagne Tower, be-
cause OF his great wealth, has been able
TO have fitted up an embassy worthy OF
his country,
Ambassador Towers new home Is ono
OF the finest private buildings in Ber-
lin 1t Is being decorated in a most ar
tistic manner under his supervision. He is
planning TO make the embassy at Berlin
the most brilliant In all Europe.
His palace windows overlook the stately
Reichstag building and the colossal Bis
marck statue. The new ambassador Intends
entertaining on a most lavish scale. He
regrets that the reception and dining rooms
are not large enough for entertainments
upon a scale to meet his ambition.
