PRESIDENT Louser IN ROME.
Received With Pomp by King Victor
Emanuel.

Rome, April 26.-President Loubet
accompanied by Foreign Minister Del
Case and distinguished party OF
French officials, arrived in Rome to-
day to repay the visit of King Victor
Emanuel to Paris in October last.
They were met at the station by the
King, who went in state, accompanied
by the Duke of Genoa, the Count of
Turin and other court dignitaries.
At the station also were the members
Of the Italian cabinet, representatives
of the Senate and chamber of Deputies
and all of the high officers of the
state.
The drive to the Quirinal had all
the appearance of triumphant march
eliminating in an ovation at the pal
ace. where President. Loubet, King
Victor Emanuel, Queen Helena and
the princes were obliged to appear on
the balcony three times.
Ambassador Meyer, Charlemagne
Tower, United States Ambassador to
Germany, and Andrew d. White, wit
messed the procession from the garden
of the American church, in which tri-
'bune had been erected. On this
tribune were also many members of
the diplomatic corps and several
Americans, including Bishop Leonard
of Ohio and G. B. Thomas Of Philadel-
phia. Along the route were massed
more than 100000 persons. including
many from the provinces and abroad.
Immediately after she had received
President Loubet, Queen Helena sent
a cordial telegram to Madame Loubet.
saying that "the rejoicing Of to-day
only lacked the presence of her Of
whose amiability l had many proofs
while in Paris and the memory OF
which is unalterable"
All Rome was magnificently illumi-
mated at night. A torchlight process
sion in which 1000 participated pro-
duced fantastic effect. President
Loubet. the King and Queen and the
princes saw the torchlight procession
from the balcony of Quirinal, On which
they remain for twenty minutes, being
constantly acclaimed.
From an official source it is learned
that italy desires to prove that, while
loyal to the Triple Alliance, she is
quite free to entertain friendly re-
lations with other powers, having for
her object the maintenance of peace.
This object was brought about by the
complete Anglo-France-Italian accord
with regard to affairs in the Balkans
which has been working with perfect
harmony since last November. Any
other Interpretation which may be CIV
en- to the Presidents presence in Italy
is unfounded.
President Loubet dined with the
King and Queen at the Quirinal.

when the three car barn bandits were
hanged, were given evidence within
twenty-four hours that gangs of des-
perate murderers and robbers still in
fest every section Of the city. Within

number had been doubled. along with
the probable fatal shooting of robber.
Meanwhile homes were being robbed

ported from every direction.
The appalling outburst of crime Gull
minated this morning with the attempt

gers were lined w and one man had
been robbed of his watch and money.

Excitement in Hungary.

Vienna. April 26.-The Hungarian
situation is regarded here as alarming.
The Socialists threaten to proclaim
general strike throughout the country
and in such an event it is stated in po-
litical circles. Count Tisza, the Hun
garian premier will put the whole king
dom under martial law.
Popular excitement appears to be
reaching a dangerous point and the
critical condition of affairs is further
intensified by the near approach Of La
Dor Day. Following the tragic event
at the market town of Elesd. near
Grosswardein. yesterday. in which a
Socialist killed the commander of the
gendarmerie. followed by the killing Of
twenty-three rioters and the wounding
ioi forty by the gendarmes. a general

To-day the shops. cafes and restau-
rants there and even the schools are

Proposed Zionist Colony.

London. April 24.-The foreign Of
fee has now come to q definite agree
ment with the Zionists as to the situa-
ton and extent of the colony It is
ready to give them in East Africa.
This is to consist of 5000 square miles
Of land northeast Of Victoria, Nyanza.
1t includes the Nandi plateau and is
very fertile, well watered and well for
ested. while as the native population
in this part of the country is not large.
a positive source OF trouble will be
avoided. An important point in the
concession is that the land is only nve
miles distant from the Uganda rail-
road, and thirty hours railway journey
from the coast.
A committee will start In June to
examine the site and decide as to It's
suitability.

Proposed Senate Building.

II think this Ia an extravaganza
which surpasses everything have
ever seen offered in this Senate"
With these strong words Senator
Berry Of Arkansas denounced the
proposition before the Senate to appro-
pirate 100000 for an ONCE building
and site on capitol hill for the bene-
At of senators. The Arkansas senator
dealt the project some powerful blows
and succeeded in postponinig vote.
It is said there is no doubt about the
passage of the amendment carrying
the appropriation which the Senate
committee has put into the sundry
civil bill. Mr.. Berry stated 1t to be
the ultimate intention of the Senate
to spend nearly 100000 on the
building, the pending appropriation
being merely a starter. This he fgur-
ed would be 10000 per senator.
Mr.. Bailey supported the amend
ment. He said that Mr.. Berry's COM
ment as to the cost of the proposed
building might be applied to the CAPT.
toll. That building had been erected
for the Congress as a whole, and he
considered the best none too good in
the way OF accommodations. He did
not want Or1ental magnlncence, Dut ne
did want splendid buildings. Sena-
tors in Washington should not live in
nuts nor stop at wagon yards; nor
should they have their Offices in mac
cessible portions of the capitol.
Mr.. Teller opposed the East front ex-
tension, but advocated the new build
ing, saying that as the country grows,
demands on the capitol will grow.
He expressed the opinion that the time
would come when 1t would be necessa-
ry to provide Accommodations for SEN
ators from Alaska and Porto Rico.
and gave voice to the hope that 1t
might be necessary to make room for
senators from what is now the Domi-
MON of Canada.

BRYAN's SPEECH P0PEJ0Y AGAIN
SUES THE sTRATToN ESTATE

Man Who Claims That He Grubstaked
w. s. stratton Asks for Eight Mil
lion DoiIars.-suit Was Once Set
tied for Fifty Thousand Dollars
Another Man Wants Half a Million.
Colorado Springs. Colo, April "a
Two claims against the Stratton es-
tate, aggregating $8,500,00O, were fled
with the clerk Of the County Court yes
terday. Leslie w. Popejoy, a contract
or Of this city, instituted suit for So
100000, and Wesley Gourley. presum-
ably of Denver, filed suit for $780,
900.
Yesterday was the last day upon
which claims against the estate could
be filed. Gourley's papers were filed
about noon. Popejoys demand for S.
100000 was taken into court only a
few minutes before the closing hour.
The latter demand is based on the
assertion that the claimant grub
staked" Stratton during the early days
Of Cripple Creek and brings to mind
the suit brought by Popejoy against
Stratton on May 16. 1896, for one-half
the value of the defendants posses
sions. This suit was compromised a
year later, Stratton, it is said. having
claims to have recently discovered
that Stratton had bribed certain wit
nesses and otherwise fraudulently
gained the compromise.
In conclusion is a statement by
Popejoy, claiming that to his best
knowledge one-half the value Of the
estate was $4,000, 900. 1t was sworn
to before Daniel w. Thompson, notary
public.
Wesley Gourley's claim was made
out in similar form and is for "one-
equal one-half of the proceeds Of the
sale Of the Independence and Wash
ington lodes, according to the terms
Of a contract, dated October 8. 1891,
$500. 1000"
The executors of the estate deny all
knowledge Of both Gourley and his al
legged claim. 1t has always been pre-
sumed that the Independence alone
sold for $10,O00.000, in which case
Gourley's one-half share would amount
to 100000.
DR.. Rice said: 81 have never heard
Of the contract which Wesley Gourley
claims to hold, and do not know who
he is"
