Gotha, Duehy of xe-Coburg and
Gotha, Oct 16.--The suit brought by
Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha for an absolute divorce from
his wife, Princess Louise and for an
adjustment of their joint property in
terests. began here today before the
ordinary court for the trial of divorce
cases the prince having waived his
technical right to have the case tried
by a special court as provided for un-
der the laws of his family.
Both principals were absent, but
the Austrian officer, Lieutenant Keg-
levitch Mattasich, with whom the
princess eloped, was present The
court asked of the princes attorneys
IL they wished to make any motions.
They replied that the prince had l.o
objection to the proceedings being
public. The attorneys for the prin-
cess also declined to require privacy.
Seek Amicable Separation.
The president then began the pro-
ceedings by proposing to the lawyers
that the two parties seek TO bring
about reconciliation, explaining that
this was not meant to get the prin-
cess or prince to live together again,
but to agree to an amicable separa-
tion and satisfactory agreement re-
garding the property The lawyers
agreed to take the matter under con-
sderation and asked for an intermis-
sion for that purpose,
The princes lawyers said tha
prince asked for an absolute divorce
in order to secure complete se2ar-
alton of the couple.
During the recess the lawyers
agreed to an arrangement on the fol-
lowing basis
The prince to guarantee the pay
ment to the princess of a yearly al
lowanee of SIS, 900 and also to pay to
her a lump sum of $4,000, provided
she abandon all of her claim against
the prince and that sfter the di-
vorce she adopt the name and title OF
Louise Princess of Belgium
After these terms were laid before
the court recess was taken In or
der that the princess might be tele-
graphed for her consent to the agree
mon..
Later in the day the lawyers for the
princess attacked the competence or
the court to decide the case at all.
The court then adjourned until Oc-
tober 80 to study the question OF its
competence, to get an answer from
Princess Louise and to settle the APP
plcability Of the Austrian law to
Prince Philips agreement that the
court avoid raising the question as
to which party is guilty.
The princes bill OF complaint be-
sides alleging the princess miscOn-
duct with KegIevitch Mattaslsch, says
that although the princess received a
yearly allowance she had contracted
debts which In 1898 amounted to
$7li.Sf2 OF which the prince has paid
S218, 1000. and that In her wardrobe
were found as pairs of silk shoes, 100
pairs of other shoes. 90 parasols and
about 100 hats.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct 16.--The
great battle between the republican
organization and the city party the
municipal reform organization re-
Gently formed here, was enlivened to-
day by the visit of Governor Folk of
Missouri, who came to lend his voice
In the interest of good government.
He spoke under the auspices of the
City club, which claims no connection
with the City party. Governor Folk
had an exceedingly busy day, and his
reception wherever he appeared dur
ing the day and evening was fiatter-
ing one.
The crowd that attempted to gain
entrance to the Academy of Music to-
night was so great that the doors
were closed before the meeting began
Several thousand persons who could
not get in were addressed by City par
ty speakers. While the curb stone
mass meeting was in progress, Gov
ernor Folk arrived. and the assem-
blage could not permit him to enter
the building until he had addressed
them. He made short speech
When he entered the academy the au-
dience stood up to welcome him,
With him on the stage we're Governor
Durham, Jr., president OF the city
club: former Postmaster General
Charles Emory Smith. former United
States Attorney General Wayne Nc
Veagh. William Potter, and about a
hundred other citizens Of prominence
Mayor Weaver occupied a prosceniuW
box and was given warm welcome
when he appeared.
Ixsa In Iui
the objects of the club, said the or
ganization was allied to no party. thai
Il neither endorsed nor named candt-
dates. but stood ready to help any
genuine movement for good govern
ment. He presented Wayne Nc
Veagh. who made a brief speech, In
Producing Governor Folk.
Governor Folk said in part:
THE most conspicuous fact of mu'
nieIpal governments in the United
States today is that they are govern
ments by the few. and not by the peo-
pie. There Is more aggressive rotten
ness and less aggressive patriotism IN
our large cities than anywhere else
IL the patriotism can be made as ag'
gressive as the rottenness. the problem
OF good government would be solved
by the people taking the government
into their own hands. II corruption
exists In Philadelphia the people are
to blame; IL corruption is TO be eradi'
Gated the people alone can do IT. The
fight you are making Is battle whlcf
will be felt by every town. city ano
state. The benefit of victory fol
good government will be universal anc
the evil effects OF a defeat will demor'
aiize those who believe in good gov
ernment by the people. The average
man does not appreciate the solemn
duty he owes his city, state fand his
country.
THE moral revolution now sweep
ing over the land means the patriot
ism that comes from the heart. moi

willing, II need be. TO give up theiI
lives for their city or state II they are
needed sometimes and this kind oi
patriotism cannot be too highly com

|BURTON'S
TRIAL IS
RESUMED
Kansas Senator Appears in
St. Louis Court.
ARGUMENT ON DEMURRER TO
SENSATIONAL INDICTMENT
Counsel for Defense Seeks 10 Show
POstOffice Department Without
Authority to Make
Investigation.

ST. Louis, Oct. 16.--The hearing OF
arguments by Judge Van Deventer in
the United States circuit court on the
demurrer of United States Senator
Burton, of Kansas. to the indictment
charging him with having used his
influence In behalf of the Rialto Grain
and Securities company of st. Louis,
before the poStoffice department, was
begun today Mr., Burton was re-
manded last spring after his case had
been sent back by the supreme court,
and the indictment charges him with
knowingly receiving a compensation
while a United States senator for ser
vices rendered in a case then pending
in which the government was inter
ested.
Attorney Haynes, Of Chicago. coun-
sci for Burton, declared today that
the indictment fails to charge that
Burton knew of the case then pending
against the Rialto Grain company. He
contended that the word knowingly
in the indictment only extends to the
question of his having accepted COM
pensaticn, and that It cannot be ex-
tended to an allegation that Burton
knew of the case pending.
Attorney Haynes argued further
that while the Indictment charges that
Senator Burton agreed to receive com
pensation for his services, 1t does not
set out with whom he agreed, The in
dictment, he argued, does not specify
Us to the services rendered or when
the services were to be rendered.
1t is alleged by the indictment
Haynes stated. that the question being
investigated by the postofllce depart
ment was whether the Rialto Grair
company had violated section 54S0 OF
the criminal statutes, The only power
that makes such an investigation pos.
sible, he argued, is a court, and If the
postoffice department was makinl
such an investigation It was without
right.
Senator Burton was In court and sa
Iquietly beside his counsel.

There may be as much patriotism IN

civic conditions and the election OF
good men to offices and purifying the
ballot, as in barring ones breast to the
