POLITICAL DOSSERS
LIBERAL MEMBER OF PARLIA-
MENT HITS BALFOUR.

Special Correspondence Of The Star
LONDON, June II. 1905.
Mr.. Lloyd-George. liberal M. P. in the
course of an interview this week termed
the Balfour government "A crowd of politi-
cal dossers." He said they were At to carry
Mr.. Chamberlain's bag. but they got tired
even of doing that. and they were now
beginning to grumble and to hand 1t over to
somebody else Mr.. Chamberlain. he said.
offered IS. corn. and he propitiated
powerful section of the tory party-the peo-
pie who lived on rents that somebody else
earned. Mr.. Balfour could not very well
do that. because he had his free trade sec
ton to look after. Could anybody say
whether the tory party was going in for
fiscal reforms not. The leaders, he con-
tinued, would trihe with this question; they
would talk generalities and use vague
phrases which would induce extreme tariff
reformers and extreme free traders who
were unionists to work side by side for
the same candidate. He described Mr..
Chamberlain as the most striking figure in
the country. He admired his courage as
man of his age, starting out on cam
pagn of this sort with very little to back
him up either in the way Of supporters or
OF facts He did not say that everything
was right In the country, but they must
not try to improve it by Quack remedies.
He maintained that there was no better
system than that of free trade for produce
ing wealth. The problem Engltshmen ought
to apply themselves to was that of seeing
that the men who toiled. who labored and
suffered to produce wealth got their fair
share of IT. The empirical remedies like
fiscal reform. were only put forward to dis
tract attention from the real cause Of all
the trouble the government had brought
about. There was one industry tariff re-
formers never talked about. and that was
the shipping industry. Millions depended
upon this one great industry which no ma
ton had ever approximated to in the whole
history of human endeavor The last board
of trade returns showed that throughout
the whole world 80. 600 tons of merchan-
disc were carried. and out of that England
carried 100000. Germany. with all of her
subsidies and bombasts and speech making
while America carried only 100000. This,
he concluded showed that free trade was
120 times better than protection.

RUSSIA HAS WITHDRAWN SU0-
GEsTIoN OF THE HAGUE.
Peace Conference Here Middle Of

A cablegram from st. Petersburg last
night says: Russia has finally definitely ac-
cepted Washington az the meeting place Of
the Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries.

for reconsideration at the personal direc-
ton OF the emperor. whose desire to give
the fullest and fairest opportunity to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's proposal for q peace con-
ference is hereby manifested.
After his conference with Ambassador
Meyer. Count Lamsdorr. the foreign min
lister, went last night to Peterhof and laid
the matter before the emperor, who, on
learning that insistence on The Hague
might endanger the negotiations. directed
Count Lamsdorff to inform Ambassador
Meyer that Russia would accept Washing
ton.
1t was after midnight when the foreign
minister returned from PeterhOf, but Am
bassador Meyer was forthwith notified and
cipher dispatch was prepared and sent
to the State Department at Washington at
an early hour this morning.
Count Lanasdorff this afternoon issued a
public announcement of the selection of
Washington: The result is looked upon as
decided triumph for American diplomacy.
Jealousy Of Uncle Sam.
In certain quarters here envy and jeal-
ousy of the United States are Ill concealed.
The entire collapse of the negotiations was
predicted yesterday and there was almost
open exultation at what was declared to be
a "rebuff to Roosevelt" Even In peace cir
cles gloomy faces were drawn at the re-
port that Russia would insist upon The
Hague, but thanks to the personal attt-
tude of the emperor and OF the well-put
representations of Ambassador Meyer, the
threatened diplomatic mountain has de-
creased to a mole hill. over which nego-
hations can now proceed rapidly.
The Gazette, which Is known as the
mouthpiece of the foreign Office, declares
that nothing Is yet known regarding ia
pans terms. 1t intimates that Russia may
not balk at an indemnity, significantly
stating that international control of the
Chinese Eastern railroad is possible as
means of insuring payment OF an indem-
nifty.
The Gazette says that the plenipoten-
tiaries will have special powers and may
be authorized to conclude peace.
Three Agents for Each Power.
Russia and Japan have tentatively de-
cided each to appoint three plenipotenti-
aries to represent them in the Washington

the Russian mission and is being consulted
about the selection Of his associates. but

Yamagata will be designated in Itos place

is expected that the conference will con-
vene here about the middle of August.

the children would naturally be brought up

VISITED ELLIS ISLAND
LORD BRAsSEY MAKES IMMIGRA-
TON REPORT.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON. June L. 1905.
Lord Brassey. in report upon the immi-
grafton question. after studying the condi-
lions at Ellis Island, says In part:
ION the day of our visit 1900 immigrants
passed. through the several stages OF ex-
amins ton. They were examined medically
They were required to show that they had
railway tickets to their several destina-
lions. and that they were sure Of employ
ment on arrival. The percentage not al
cent. Those rejected were evidently in
capable Those admitted were. without, ex-
ception. of good physical powers. with the
ruddy glow Of health buoyant with the
land. 1t was evident that a policy Of ex-
animation and rejection OF those not suit
able was fully vindicated. We were as
sured that the majority Of those not ad-
mitted into the United States find their way
to England. There is something wrong III
this.
''The immigration laws of the United
States were needed. The annual expendi-
ture In the relief and maintenance Of In
capable immigrants had reached the annual
amount of no less than s1O0.Oo000O:
Evil Growing.
The evil was growing to intoierable pro-
portions. And we. too, may have to take
a similar course. Whenever it Is SO de-
cided 1t will be well to make q careful
study of the regulations established here
and of the admirable manner in which they
are carried into effect.
"A visit to Ellis Island suggests grave
reflections. The flow of men and women
of every nationality Of Europe, except the
British and French. was most impressive
There were Italians in their thousands, and
almost equal numbers of Slavs from the
Austrian dominions. We were told that no
fewer than 10000 immigrants had last year
assembled the flight of stairs up which a
continuous procession was. at the time of
our visit. making an entry into the great
republic.
1.-THE immigration problem is grave for
the United States as for ourselves. What
will be the effect of admitting into the fed
eral electorate millions newly arrived from
the old world. ignorant OF the affairs of
their newly adopted country not acquaint-
ed with It's language? And we may not be
able to keep the door as widely open as at
present to all comers-and especially to the
rejected of the United States-without de-
pressing unduiy the standard of life in the
unskilled classes, which feel the most the
competition Of immigrant labor"

the sad case OF the Princess Louise Of
Coburg, who. It will be remembered. was
confined in a sanitarium by the orders of
her husband the ground Of being In

to be in full possession OF her mental fac
ulties by the Paris court. and In conse-
quence OF this Prince Philip OF Coburg In
tends to intrust his family lawyer with
powers to commence divorce proceedings
agaist his wife.
He will demand divorce upon the ground
of her misconduct, but to strengthen his
case he will bring in the alleged extrava-
gance of his wife besides her relations with
Lieut. Gerza, unattached. On the other
hand Princess Louise intends to charge her
husband with having caused her to be con-
fined in sanitarium. she claiming all the
while to have been mentally sound. King
Leopold of Belgium will no doubt have
something to say in the matter, though at
present no attitude has been taken by his
majesty since the decision of the Paris
court.

scription-an honest and a safe
remedy which no woman can afford
to lose the opportunity Of trying for
the cure of those distressing conf
plants which weaken a woman's Vi

you that his "Favorite Prescription
is honestly made, but he lets you
know just what it contains. 1t is
now nearly forty years since he put
up this prescription in form to be
easily obtained at every drug store.
Previous to that time DR.. Pierce
practiced medicine and made the
diseases of women his speciality. He
found that there was one prescription
that cured ninety-eight per cent OF
his cases. The ingredients were
taken from Nature in the shape of
a non-alcoholic extract of medicinal
roots and plants whose curative
properties are generally recognized
by the medical profession through
out the country, and whose harm
less character you can learn from
any druggist or physician. DIR.

enced chemists under his direction
use great care in the preparation of
