London, May 25. Among the strik-
ing parallels between the sinking Of
the Russian battleship Petropavlovsk
and that Of the Japanese battleship
Hatsuse is the fact that a prince Of
the imperial family Of each country
respectively was on board the vessel
that went down and was at the time
actively engaged in his duties as a
naval officer.
The fortunate but narrow escape Of
the Grand Duke Cyril, cousin Of the
Emperor Nicholas, who was standing
on the bridge, close to the gallant
Makaroff, when the explosion be-
meath the Petropavlovsk occurred,
has become well known in all its de-
tails. It has not yet been announced
what was the fate Of a Japanese inn
perial prince who, it may be pre-
sumed, was on the Hatsuse when she
struck mine and sank in almost as
terrible manner as her Russian
counterpart. This was Prince Fushi-
mi, a lieutenant commander on the
Hatsuse. There is no report whether
he escaped or not, or even that he
was on board when the disaster oc-
Cured, but he was regularly con-
nected with the ship.

OLD MARQUIS HAS son,
LIKEWISE INSURANCE.

New York Sun Special Service. IS
~ London, May PA curious case OF
insurance has come to light in con-
nection with the late Marquis Of
Donegal. The policy was taken out
in 1890 against issue being born to the
marquis, who at that time was in his
from his wife.
The marchioness, however, died and
the marquis married again In his
eighty-frst year. A son was born
and is now a few months old, the
youngest member of the peerage. For
a single premium Of 1856 the sum Of
$12,500 will be paid.
An official of the insurance company
said that such insurance was frequent
and the rate was extremely low, as the
companies rarely had to pay. This,
he said, was the first time they had
ever been called upon to do so.

st. Louis, May 25. OPTICIANS who
want to learn how to manage conven-
lions without friction, and diplomats
who would know how to solve prob
lens in statecraft might well take a
few lessons from the women in con-
troll of the General. Federation of
Women'S clubs in session here. The
Lowe Gunton question has been set
tied quietly, tactfully and without
open scandal by these clever women,
and the federation has vindicated Its
honor without casting unnecessary re-
proach on a woman in whom it once
took great pride.
While nothing has been openly said
about the "LoWe-Gunton question:, 1t
was really one of the most vexatious
and important to be- settled by the
convention. How to#settle it without
stirring up all the scandal that re-
suited from the sudden marriage Of
Mrs. Rebecca Douglas Lowe, former
president Of the federation, to Mr..
Gunton, a prominent Atlanta, Ca,
man, within a few days Of his South
Dakota divorce, has taxed the. inge-
nuity of the womant diplomats.
Here was the dilemma: The. feder-
alton has been Urged to takeaan adj
vanced position on the question of a
national divorce law. It has been felt
great organization of cultured women
to make a procurement against the
evils Of indiscriminate divorce and for
the passage of uEiform divorce law
binding ali theastat ties. But how could
the federation consistently make such
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS when one of its own
honorary presidents had possessed
herself Of another woman's husband
thru the convenient assistance of the
courts Of a quick divorce state? Thus
the question became how to get rid
! OF Mrs Lowe-Gunton as an officer cot
the federation and do 1t without scam
DIAL.
The neat solution of this problem
was presented when Mrs. Charles
Henrotin of Chicago, the other honor
airy president Of the federation, rose
in lull in the proceedings and; asked
the privilege of the floor Not being a
delegate, she could not make. a mo-

Their a Witness.

| Sheriff join c. Coleman returned yes
terday afternoon from Gleneyre, with
witnesses in the Pache case. He states
that the whole neighborhood believes
that Louis Pache, the 14-year-old son,
was justified in shooting his father, as
the act undoubtedly saved his moth
er's life.
The inquest over the body of August
Pache will be held today. and it looks
now as though Louis Pache will be
held blameless n no trial will be
! ordered. When August Pache threat
| ened to kill his wife, his son made
/ the statement that he would take a
hand in the shooting to protect his
mother, and the father threatened to
| kill them both. He first came into the
room with a shotgun loaded with two
shells, and returned to an adjoining
room and secured five more shells. 1t
is thought now that lie intended to
Kill the whole family.
Pache was a man of good appear
lnce. but of small stature. Accord
ing to the stories of the witnesses who
are here to testify, Pache was I'M
noubtedly insane at times.
Among the witnesses summoned by
Deputy Sheriff Coleman was an Swear
old son Of Pache. The boy was taught
by his father to become an expert
marksman. His father often gave him
prizes for accurate shooting, and to
test the boys story the deputy sheriff
put a tin can on a post at a distance
If fifty yards and at the first shot the
youth struck the can squarely in the
center. The %neighbors say that the
boy shot a bear when he was 6 years
old. and at his fathers home several
bearskin rugs adorned the house which
were secured through the boys expert
craftsmanship.
