MAY DENOUNCE
THE CONCORDAT
Relations of France and the
Vatican Reach a Serious
Crisis.

PARIS, May 18.-Government circles
are seriously considering whether the
popes protest against President Lou
bets visit to Rome should not be
promptly followed by a recall of M.
Nisard, the French ambassador to the
Vatican. The determinations of this
question probably will depend on For
eign Minister Delcasse's ability to
calm the indignation aroused among
the various elements in the chamber
of deputies against the papal protest.
These elements, headed by the social
lists, insist on bringing the Vatican
controversy to an issue and it is ex-
pected that the subject will cause a
violent debate in the chamber. M. Del
casse will urge moderation, but owing
to the bitterness of the feeling aroused
the government may be compelled to
recall NJ. Nisard or take other decisive
action.
The parliamentary leaders are dis
cussing plans, including the abolition
of the embassy to the Vatican and the
denunciation of the concordat. The
commission on the abolition Of the
concordat went over the subject TODAY.
Heretofore M. Delcasse's stand about
abollshing the Vatican embassy has
proved decisive, but owing to the pres
ent agitation the government leaders
fear his counSels of moderation will
not prevail.

YOUNG WOMAN HAS

She Is Arrested Before Throw.

BRESLAU, Prussia, May 19.-The
ST. Petersburg correspondent of the
Breslau Zeitung reports that the au-
thorities detected and thwarted a plot
to attack the emperor with a bomb
during the spring parade in st. Peters
burg, May 10. The emperor always re-
views the parade on horseback, taking
a position before and slightly to one
side of the pavilion from which the en-
press and the grand duchesses view the
pageant.
Just beforeAthe emperor arrived on
the parade ground May 10 it was no.
ticed that Miss Merezhevsky, daughter
Of leading Russian psychiatrist and
privy councillor, Prof. Merezhevsky,
who occupied one of the loges nearest
the pavilion, was nervous and excited.
Risking a scandal should their sus-
picions prove to be unfounded, the au-
thorities ordered her arrest, which was
effected unobtrusively. A search dis
closed a skillfully constructed bomb
concealed in her clothing. The girl did
not deny her intention of hurting the
missile at the emperor, but refused to
give any other information.
Miss Merezhevsky has been an at.
tendant at the women's university. 1t
is rumored that she has been hanged
and her aged father is completely pros
trated.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, May 18.-Prof.

His plan was modification Of the

Lafayette Young read the platform
1t indorses the adjustment of the Alas
kan boundary dispute and the work
done in China; praises Secretaries
Shaw and Wilson; indorses President
Roosevelt; opposes trusts; takes de-
light in the American navy, and has
the following to say on the tariff ques-
ton:
1--WE believe in the protective tariff
which builds American factories, makes
possible great and small American in
dustries and gives employment to
American labor. We believe in the
American home market for the prod
ucts of American farms, factories and
shops. We believe it wise to seek mar
kets abroad by sacrificing some part of
the markets at home, and equally un-
wise to legislate in a manner to pro-
yoke American industries to making
war upon each other. Under the pro-
tective system, newly inaugurated in
1897, the country has enjoyed unusual
prosperity. Protective duties have kept
work and wages at home and have fur
nished the revenue with which to pay
the expenses of a foreign war, with
which to rebuild the navy, to enlarge
and newly equip the army, to extend
our coast defenses, and have made pos
sible the nations expansion. Fortified
by the advantages and benefits of a
great home market, the American
manufacturers have thus had the cour-
age and the capital with which to in
wade foreign markets. Our tariff sys-
tenn, by giving assurance to the world
that the revenues are ample, has ad-
vanced the credit of the nation to the
first position. The same policy has
converted our. people into lenders in
stead of borrowers. We declare for
faithful adherence of this system,
which found it's highest fulfllment in
laws bearing the names of William Nc
Kinley and Nelson Dingley.''

DES MONIES, Iowa, May 1S.-Iowa's
long fight between stand-pat Repub-
lieans and liberals upon the issue of
tariff revision and reciprocity ended in
a complete victory for the former in to-
days state convention for selecting
delegates to the national convention.
Of twenty-six delegates chosen,
twenty are stand-patters and only six
are liberals. The resolutions adopted
contain no sentiment whatever in favor
of tariff revision, but declare that pro-
tective principle found it's high fulfill
ment" in the Dingley law. AS to reci-
procity, the platform declares that it is
''unwise to seek markets abroad by
sacrificing some parts of the markets at
home" The convention was unanimous
in naming its delegates and adopting
its platform, but the committee on
resolutions disagreed in the recon-
mendations.
Minority Is squeIched.
A minority of three, headed by ex-
Congressman George G. Perkins, pos
sible candidate for governor, stood for
liberal plank declaring for a reci-
procity that would increase foreign
markets without harming American in
dustry, and suggesting that the Re
publican party can be depended on to
revise the tariff whenever necessary.
The minority refused to accede to the
platform of the majority as to the
tariff, and so reported to the conven-
ton. The minoritys plank is supposed
to have had the approval of party lead
ers at Washington.

convention and it heard speeches from

Secretary Shaw declared that the
chief issue of the campaign this year
would be the Democratic claim that
American goods are sold cheaper
abroad than at home. Mr.. Shaw de-
clared that while this was true in
way, yet this claim could be proved
only as to about one thirtieth of Ameri-
can goods sold abroad.

lock Is Proposed.

SPRINGFIELD, H., May 18.-The
Republican state convention spent an
other day in fruitless balloting, and all
though the leaders have been in con-
ference since daylight, there is not the
least indication of a break in the dead
lock along the line. Gov. Yates fol-
lowers remained firm today and ce-
mented their agreement to stand by
the governor to the end. At an en-
thusiastic meeting held at the execu-
tive mansion the governor made
speech, in which he intimated he would
be willing to have the gubernatoriaI
proposition referred to a primary cleo
tion to be held the same day through
out the state. This plan IS one Of
hundred suggested. Homer Tice,
Sherman's manager, has suggested
that a secret ballot be taken and this
plan is under consideration.
Six ballots We're taken today and the
result on the last one stood:
Yates, 482; Lowden, 4023s; Deneen,
1921; Hamlin, III; Warner, 3S; Sher-
man, 2; Pierce, SO.
The convention will meet again at 10
o'clock in the morning and the indica-
tions are that the balloting will be a
practical repetition Of the proceedings
today.

BALFOUR IS SAVED
Attempt to Upset His Cabinet
Is Defeated.

LONDON, May 1S.-By a majority
of 55 Premier Balfour tonight sue
cessfully defeated an attempt to upset
the government upon the fiscal ques-
tion. An interesting debate, charac-
terized by some heated exchanges, took
place, resulting in the premier's reiter-
ated determination to shelve the ques-
tion of fiscal reform until the next
parliament. In this decision Joseph
Chamberlain publicly concurred.
The motion upon which the question
came up was made by Alexander Will
liam Black, member from Banffshire,
Scotland, and an advanced Liberal,
welcoming the ministerial declarations
that protective taxation of food would
be burdensome to the people and inju-
rious to the empire" In purpose the
motion was intended to censure Mr..
Chamberlain.
Mr. Balfour's own amendment to
shelve the question left a middle
course OPEN to the members of the
Unionist party. and although the
amendment was not put, the house ac-
complished the defeat of Mr.. Blacks
indirect cenSure on the ground that it
was not now necessary to discuss the
fiscal question.
Twenty one Unionist free traders
voted against the government, but
more than double that number would
have done so but for Mr.. Balfour's
skillful intervention between Mr..
Chamberlain and his opponents
The net result of the debate is that
all parties stand as they were Sir
Michael Hicks Beach and his immedi-
ate following saved the day by refus-
ing TO vote with Winston Churchill,
Lord Hamilton, Lord Hugh Cecil and
other more ardent Unionist free trad
ers against Mr.. Balfour.
