Berlin. Feb. 2S.--Elnperor William

to inform President Roosevelt that the
statue of Frederick the Great will not
be sent to the United States until the
spring OF 1904.
The emperor's reasons as communi :
Gated by the foreign Office to Ambassa-

ceremonies of unveiling the statue un-
Ger the present circumstances and as
the emperor wishes TO .tvoid an inter-
val between the arrival Of the statue in
America and the public dedication. his

Washington until the spring of 1904
1t appears that Minister Won Stern
berg had d conversation With President
Roosevelt some days ago in which the
president suggested it might be as well,
owing to the disorder Of the grounds
and the obstruction of building mate
rial, to arrange some later date for un-
yelling than June, as previously de-

cuLLoM TALKS TO MORGAN.
illinois Senator Tries to Obtain Consent
to Fix Time for Vote on Canal

Treaty.
Washington, Feb. 2S.-A, determined
effort on the part of Senator Cullom to
obtain Morgan's consent to fix the time
for voting on the Panama canal treaty
was made in the executive session of
the senate yesterday, and was met by
just as determined opposition on the
part Of the Alabama senator.
Cullom said the United States had
been trying for fifty years to get a ca
nal across the isthmus. and appealed to
Morgan not to stand in The way of the
consummation of this aspiration. He
frst ASKED for a vote today. then Mon
Gay, ana lastly Tuesday, but each re-
quest WAS refused. Cullom expressed
the opinion that Morgan was making a
great mistake; while he may be called
the father of the canal, 1t would seem
by the present opposition he is strang-
ling his own efforts.
Morgan In reply declared his interest
In the canal was as great as ever: so
great he felt that he owed 1t to himself
and the country to exert himself to the
utmost to prevent ratification of the
treaty, which he felt to be so full of de-
fects as the pending agreement was.
He complained of the refusal to allow
him to discuss the treaty in open ses-
sion. The country, he said ought to.
know just what it was going into, but
it could not now so long as the doors
We're closed eS ~ time the treaty was
Most of his friends ;,elieve his re-
fusaf to fix the time for vote means
the treaty can not be ratified before the
close of the present session.

Twice, but Has No Wife.
st. Paul, Minn., Feb. 2S.-Married
twice in one week to the same woman
and still he has no wiss. This is the
unique experience of Oscar S. Lockary,
Of Meckling, S. d. On Tuesday Lock-
ary. who is a well-to-io young busi-
ness man of Meckling, was married at
Vermillion, S. D., to Sarah /. Ulch. The
next day he was married in Sioux City,
Iowa, by judge of the state court to
Sarah l. Haden, of Sioux City. 1t de-
velops that these two names We're given
by the same woman, and the double
wedding was an expedient to clear up
e possible difficulty. The husband went
home to Meckling on Thursday, and
his wife was to follow him the next
day. That was a week ago, but she has
failed to put in an appearance. 1t is
said that S400. which the trusting hus-
band left with the woman to make some
was not returned to him. A
Council Bluffs detective. who arrived at
Vermllion three days later to head off
the wedding there, declares the woman
is the runaway wife of one of the

PROTECTED VICE AT ST. LOUIS
Awful Stories Brought Out by tn.
Grand Jury.

Awful Stories Brought Out by tn.
Grand Jury.
ST. Louis. Feb. 2S.-As the result of :
grand jury investigation a raid on s
syndicate of vice was made on bench
warrants charging Louis and Max Siv-
iner with conducting slave houses,
where young girls are systematically
sold to vice.
Nathan Kruenzer, partner of the Siv-
| iner Brothers in the saloon business
was also arrested on a bench warrant
1t is expected that wholesale arrests OF
| policemen women and real estate own
ers will follow, as the result of disclos-
ures made before the grand jury by the
half hundred witnesses examined.
The Siviner brothers were elected
from New York for similar offense
when the reforms in that city were in
stituted, and they are said to be pro-
prietors of at least ten houses in this
city, where vice Is placed at so low a
figure that even young boys and girls
are corrupted.
According to the circuit attorneys
Office. the conditions which have pre-
vailed in these slave houses" are in
describable. Protected by the police,
vice has tiourished and the section of
the city between Twelfth and Ninth
streets Lucas and Morgan, has become
the scene of nightly crimes. 1t is charg-
ed that women and girls returning from
their work in the evening have been
forcibly dragged into these houses
The traffic is said to have been sys
tematized to a degree that will startle
the world. Men and women have lured
girls from country towns and have even
gone into the streets after night and
captured them to force them into slav-
cry. One incident reported is that of Il
14-year-old girl who was set upon while
passing one of the Twelfth street houses
and dragged inside, where her clothing
was torn from her and garments which
prevented her appearing on the streets
supplied and she could rot find other
clothing and had to remain in them.
One of the worst features in this lat
est exposure of municipal corruption is
the apparent connection of the police
department with the protection of these
infamous dens. There is we'll defined
accusation that some of the highest
police officials in the city will be in
dicted for accepting money to protect
the iSiviner brothers places.

PEACE IN The BALANCE.
The Situation in the Balkans Not En-

| Vienna. Feb. 2S.-The opinion in Off
cial circles here is that the conflict be-
| tween Russia and Austria or the Bal
kan states on one hand and Turkey on
/ the other will not come off this year.
| The result depends, however entirely
upon the extent to which the disturb
ances are carried. In place of the in
surgent Macedonian bands officials here
think the Albanians will take aggres-
sive action and fill the center of the
stage. According to reports received
here of the warm spell the last few
days they already have begun to be
troublesome.
These stories like all dangerous
ernment and the senatorship prevent.-
to get authentic news from the dis
turbed district, as the Albanians are
suspicious of all foreigners, and the
correspondent takes his life in his hands
when he goes among them. They are
the worst of the sultan's subjects and
are subjects only nominally. They
carry guns and swords as Americans
swing canes and umbrellas, and weld
pistols and knives like handkerchiefs.
They live in clans, each with a chief
tain, and While always warning among
themselves they solidly unite against
outsiders.
These troublesome Albanians have
prevented the desired connection of
the railway from Hungary across
their country to terminus at Nitro
vita, on the road leading up from
Salonica. A large Austrian force is
on this side of the frontier.
and recently Russian consulate was
established in MitrovitZa. The Alban-
ians protested against it, but Russia in
sisted and the sultan accedcd to the
cars demands and supplied an ade-
quate force to protect the consulate.
Vague rumors have been received
that the Albanians have stormed the
and murdered the Russian /
consul. An outrage of this sort might /
hostilities on a large scale |
and would be a plausible excuse for
the intervention of Austria and Russia.
Raids by the Albanians on the Mac
edonians and other neighboring races
If repeated and sufficiently atrocious in I
results, might cause an Austrian army |
to push down into the coveted terri
tory
