Rome, May 22.-Vatican authorities
continue to be agitated over the com
flict with the French government, grow
ing out of the protest against President
Loubets visit to Rome and the recall
of NJ. Nizard the French ambassador
to the Vatican.
The Pope said mass this morning in
the presence of sixty-five Italians and
foreigners and gave over the rest of
the day to consideration of the diff
f1culties with Franco reading clippings
from the newspapers on the subject.
The Vatican authorities hope that NJ
Nizard will soon return to Rome, being
influenced by the fact that his family
is still here. The question as to how

COUNT Won BUEL0W
HOLDING HIS PRESTIGE.
Talk TO the Contrary Seems with
out Strong Basis.

Berlin, May 22.-There has been con-
siderable vague talk in the newspapers
representing the opposition since the
recent debate in the Prussian House
of Lords that the position of the Ger
man Imperial Chancellor, Count Won
Buelow, has been shaken, but so far
as is ascertainable there is no founda-
tion for it,
Several influential agrarian leaders
criticised the Chancellor in debate, but
absolutely nothing. has occurred show
ing that he had lost the favor of En-
peror William. Both the Emperor and
Count Won Buelow attended the we'd
ding of Count Eulenburg's son yester-
day at Liebenburg. Official business
interviews are occurring as usual be-
tween the Emperor and the Chancellor.
The idea of making Gen. Budd Prus-
sian Minister of Railroads, the success
sor of Count Won Buelow is regarded
as ridiculous, his political experience
being considered much too inadequate.

STORM CENTERS OF
REPUBLICANISM
IN WISCONSIN AND ILLINOIS.
CONFLICT BETWEEN THE LAFOL-
LETTE AND sPoONER FACTIONS

Reported to BE So Intense That
There Is Little Chance for a Conn
promise - Democratic Managers
Taking Every Advantage of the
Conditions in the Middle West.
GrumbIing in Chicago by the Men
who Are supposed to Pay.
BY r. M. Larner.
Washington. May 22.-Democratic
prospectors are trying to figure out
the political effect of the rows now in
progress among the Republican fac
tions in Wisconsin and Illinois. These
two states promise to be the storm
centers in the coming contest and both
parties are going to make desperate
efforts to capture them.
Some of the Democratic scouts now
on duty in Wisconsin report that the
conflict between the Lafollette and the
Spooner factions is so intense that
there is no chance for a compromise.
On the other hand, some of the re-
ports coming from that state are to
the effect that while the bitterness be-
tween the two branches of the Re-
treme in state matters. they may stop
and listen to party discipline in dealing
with the national ticket.
The same reasoning is applied to the
Republican situation in Illinois.
However, the Democratic managers are
disposed to take every advantage of
! the existing conditions in the Middle
West, for they realize that it will be
necessary to capture Indiana, Illinois
and perhaps Wisconsin, with New
York, to land a winner in the White
House.
Considerable grumbling is heard from
Chicago by the men who are supposed
to pay the expenses of the Republican
National Convention. 1t is claimed
that President Roosevelt is anticipating
almost everything that is likely to oc-
! cur at that gathering. $50 few vis-
| itors are applying for accommodations
! in Chicago during the convention that
| it looks like little Republican class
meeting, was going to be held, instead
of great party revival" remarked a
| disgusted Chicago boomer, who is in
| Washington on convention business.

On the CoIieue Man.

A University of Michigan mar who
al in Ithaca during navy week has
the distinction of having seen the Cor.
neil campus under the most peculiar
circumstances on record.
The Ann Arbor man was a guest of
a Cornell alumnus at one of the fra
ternity lodges located on the outskirts
Of the campus. The two had retired
at a late hour Saturday night and lay
for a long time swapping yarns of col.
lege life. Sleep was impossible.
About two o'clock Sunday morning
the Westerner remarked that he had
seen the Cornell campus. Here
was a chance for the Cornell grad
His former undergraduate spirit re
turned. Come on" he said; "llI
show you the campus in proper style,
Don't wait to dress; we'll go as we
are"
The Cornell man wore a suit of pink
pajamas and the other a white night
shirt. On their bare feet they crept
quietly out of the house, and by the
light of the bright moon the Michigan
man viewed the stately halls to grea,
advantage. 1t "a a chilly night, but
when they got cold they ran for a spell
and warmed up.
They wound up on Eddy street, neal
the entrance Of the college grounds
and with daredevil spirit waited some
time for a trolley car. When none ap
peared the Cornell man happened to
remember hat he was in Ithaca
where cars do not run all night, sc
they returned Is they had come.
