NOTABLE ARRIVALS.
RospigIiosis Arrive in New York
Case Pending at Rome.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Prince and Prin-
cess Rospigliosi, whose marriage several
years age~resulted in an appeal to the Vati-
can to annul a previous marriage of the
princess which had been set aside by the
United States courts, arrived here today on
the steamer Republic.
The Princess Rospigliosi. who formerly
was Miss Marie Jennings Reid of New Or
leans is Catholic. She was divorced in
1898 from her first husband, Col. F. II.
Parkhurst of Bangor, Me-, who is Prot
estant. and in 1901 was married in Rome
to Prince Rospigliosi head of an ancient
family of the clerical nobility and brother
of the commandant of the papal guard. The
ceremony was a civil one, and from the
first the Catholic Church refused to recog-
nize the marriage.
When the prince first applied to the con-
gregation of the propa ganda for recogni-
ton of his wifes divorce in the United
States the church declined to recognize 1t.
but Monsignor ChapeIle. who married Mrs.
Parkhurst to her first husband, afterward
testified before the congregation that the
firsr marriage was irregular according to
The laws of the church. The case is still
pending.

READ FRANCE A LESSON.
Comment on the Kaiser's Recent
Speech at Tangier.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 3.-The devel-
opments resulting from Emperor Williams
speech at Tangier Friday continue to at
tract great attention in the press and in
diplomatic circles The sober view is that
the German Emperor seized on favorable
opportunity to read France lesson for
leaving Germany out OF consideration IN
the French-British understanding regard
ing Morocco with the view possibly of COM
pelling France to make permanent renun-
citation of her aspirations regarding Metz
and Alsace-Lorraine, also with the practical
purpose of securing vote in the reichstag
next fall for a large naval program.
There is no serious idea that the incident
may lead to a conflict. With Russia en-
feebled France will have to look to Great
Britain to play the role of protector as
surned by Russia when Germany threatened
her in 1873 and there is a good deal of
speculation on the subject of the new
grouping of the powers. The home papers,
however declare that while the British
press NAV bluSter Great Britain has Sc
cured her quid pro quo in Egypt and will
leave France to take care of herself.
The Novoe Vremya considers the action
of Emperor William to be a very bold
stroke on the part of Germany, and as fur
ther evidence of her rivalry with Great
Britain more than with France. The paper
characterizes his majestys proclamation as
a 'Teutonic Monroe doctrine in northern
Africa for the protection of the MuSsul
mans" pointing out the manner in which
German commercial interests are spreading
in the Balkans and the Levant and the in
crease of Germany's' political influence in
Turkey where she is seeking to block
Great Britain's scheme to sever Arabia from
Turkey for the purpose of joining it to
Egypt.

SAW SECRETARY TAFT.
Minister Takahira Discusses the Situa-
ton in the East

Mr.. Takahira, the japanese minister, was
at the War Department today before the
President had gone many miles on his trip,
and had long talk with Secretary Taft,
who is the head of the government In this
city in the absence of the President. Mr..
Takahira talked of the possibilities of peace
and of the general situation in the far east,
but he had no proposals to make, and as
far as he made it known, the object Of his
visit appears mainly to have been to get in
touch with the Secretary in his new capaci-
ty. Mr. Takahira learned from Mr.. Taft
that there was no change in this govern
ment's attitude. Earnestly as the WASH
ington government desires peace, ii cannot
undertake to initiate negotiations nor TO
interfere in any way with the conflict.
President Roosevelt cherishes no special
ambition for the role of peacemaker, but
will gladly offer any assistance this gov
ernment can extend when the belligerents
are disposed to talk of peace.

CHICAGO ELECTION TOMORROW.
Close of an Exciting Canvass - Two
Leading Candidates.

CHICAGO, April 3-One of the most spir-
tied political contests of recent years was
wound up in Chicago today. Municipal
ownership of street railways has been the
issue. The leaders the opposing sides
are the candidates who will be voted upon
tomorrow for the mayoralty of the city.
John NJ. Harlan, son of Justice Harlan of
the United States Supreme Court, is the
republican candidate. Judge Edward F.
Dunno of the circuit court here is the demo-
cratic nominee q
Both candidates stand pledged to munich
pal ownership, but by different methods.
The democratic party stands for the imme-
diate purchase or condemnation of the tang
ible property and unexpired franchises of
the railway companies.
The republicans advocate the reference of
the question to the people by a referendum
vote. Both candidates have been actively in
the field, addressing voters at hundreds of
day and evening meetings.
The proposal of the republican candidate,
in event of a referendum vote in favor of
municipal ownership, contemplateS COM
petitiye traction system with a downtown
subway, or the renewal on conservative
basis and with adequate remunera ten to
the city of the expiring railway franchises.
Absolute refusal of further fran chises and
prosecution of the street railway companies
Tor lncOmpetency In relation TO unexplTeu
franchises are promised by the democratic
leaders.
Besides Harlan and Dunno, Oliver w.
Stewart, prohibitionist, and John Collins,
socialist, are active candidates for the may
orally.
Republican managers claim the election
of Harlan by 10000 plurality. The demo-
Gratis, on the other hand, seem confident
that Dunno will have anywhere from 10000
to $4,000 plurality. 1t is not thought likely
that the socialists will poll more than 10000,
a fifth of their vote last November. No
estimate is made as to the prohibition factor.
