ROSPIGLIOSI CASE
 FINALLY SETTLED
WOMAN'S MARRIAGE WITH COL. PARKHURS. WAS VALID AND
 POPE DECIDES SECOND MAR
 RlAGE CANNOT BE RECOGNIZED.

Baltimore. August 20.-It may be au- thoritatively stated that the much dis cussed Rospgllosi case is finally settled that it will not be reopened. Cardinal Gibbons today had the following statement of the facts prepared for the Associated Press:
 Tn 1887 the late Archbishop Chapelle, then rector of St. Matthews church, Washington, D. C.. applied to the cardinal for a dispensation in disparitate cultus for the marriage of Miss Reid and Col onel Parkhurst dispensation in dis paritate cultus Is the form required for the marriage of a Catholic to an unbap- tized person, and that was the dspensa- tion asked for and granted In the case in question It Is so recorded in the chancery book at the cathedral. Colonel and Mrs. Parkhurst were divorced and subsequently, she and Prince Rospigliosi went through a form of marriage. It was this form of marriage they attempted to have validated in Rome on the plea that the proper dspensaton in disparltate cultus had not been granted in the first instance. The cardinal was consulted by the propaganda and a special mes senger. Monsignor Marchetti, came to Baltimore and examined the chancery book, and found that the dispensation in disparitate eultus had been duly granted and recorded. The case was final ly brought before the Pope who decided that the marriage with Colonel Parkhurst was valid and that therefore the second marriage could not be recognized. His holiness also declared that no further appeal should be entertained"

CONGER IS GOING
 TO HIS IOWA HOME
DISCUSSES THE CHINESE BOY corr, SAYING THAT IT WILL HAVE NC MATERIAL EFFECT ON AMERICAN TRADE.

Washington, August 20.--Edwin H. Con- egr. American ambassador to Mexico. ia in Washington on his way to his home in Iowa from his recent visit to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. In an inter- view with the Post tonight he said that he was not going to China, as had been reported he might, to allay the agita- ton there against American imports. He declined to say positively whether he would return to his post in Mexico after the expiration of his two months leave of absence, saying that it would be time enough to discuss the matter when the leave expired.
 Speaking of the Chinese the ambassador said that when people talk about their buying extensively of American goods when the orient is opened after the Russo Japanese war it must be remembered that people cannot buy unless they have money to buy with. A coole makes s6 per month in Mexican money and cannot be expected to support his family and In vest heavily in articles of American manufacture, al the same time. Probably the best investment at the present time, the ambassador said. is in railroads. In the building of them much labor would be employed, and money might be ob- tained by the natives in that way. The idea of Japan exerting great influence in China after the close of the war, Mir. Conger declared is bugaboo. the out growth of another big bugaboo the so- called yellow peril"

 ried American Woman.

Y. M. C. A. WILL START
 MANY NEW METHODS
REFUGEES STILL
 PASSING THROUGH
ABOUT NORMAL NUMBER WENT THROUGH BIRMINGHAM YES TERDAY EVERYTHING QUIET IN QUARANTINE CIRCLES.

About the normal number of refugees passed through Birmingham yesterday en route from the yellow fever districts.
 Travel was heavy on the Queen and Crescent train yesterday morning as usual, and about the usual crowd passed through the city on the Louisville and Nashville trains at noon and last night.
 The quarantine men are not experianc- ing any trouble in enforcing the various regulations, and for the past three or fcui days there has not been anything of unusual interest to take place.
 Supervisor Morgan has had several con ferences with quarantine people from other cities and states relative to the service. and several little differences which had arisen were adjusted.
 No new instructions have been received from Dr. Sanders, state health officer.

VENEZUELA READY
 TO FIGHT UNCLE SAM
HAS PLACED ORDERS IN EUROPE FOR TORPEDO BOATS AND GUNS WHICH WILL COST IN NEIGH BoRHooD OF s2,5oo,ooo.

New York, August 2O.--rhe Tribune to- morrow will say:
 Venezuela has placed orders in Europe for torpedo boats with guns and amuni- ton at the cost of about $2,50o,o0o, & larger amount than that little South American republic has ever expended at one time for war materials.
 An American who has just returned from Venezuela is authority for the statement that President Castro recently declared that he is going to fight the Yankee" which explains the unusually large orders for ships, arms and ammu- milton.
 It is reported that when the Venezuelan chief executive heard recently Of the ap- pointment by President Roosevelt or Judge Calhoun as. special commissioner to investigate certain affairs al Caracas his anger was great and his language immoderate He announced that he would not permit the enlissary of President Roosevelt to land in Venezuela

INDIAN TERRITORY TO TALK STATEHOOD
DELEGATES ARE ALREADY ARRlv- ING AND THE SESSIONS WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE AT MUS COCA FOR A MONTH.

Muscogee, l. T., August 2o-Delegates to the constitutional convention which con- venes here tomorrow began to arrive in .his city today. About half of the dele gates selected are Indians by blood, and many of the others are old pioneer whites. They represent all of the five nations, Chief Johnson of the Chicksaw nation opposed the convention and refused to is- sue call for the selection of delegates, but an independent call was issued by leading Indians and a full quota was se- lected.
 The convention will hold sessions once a day and probably continue in session for q month. Differences of opinion exist regarding the various chapters of the pro- posed constitution. Practically all of the leaders favor a strong prohibition plank. There probably will be a big contest over the suffrage question, as many Indians favor an educational qualification.

Shows Great Wisdom.
Russian Journals Differ.

St. Petersburg, August N.-The Novoe Vremya and the Russky Slovo today un- reservedly accept the douma project The other St. Petersburg newspapers. however, fail to show much enthusiasm While half-hartedy admitting that the project makes for improvement, these latter journals freely criticize the limita- tion of the powers of the douma and ask for an extension of the freedom of the press, freedom of meetings and political amnesty.
 Nevoe vremya declares that the wall which for centuries has separated the nation from the sovereign has fallen and the new reform opens the way for the development of national individuality which Is necessarary for the evolution of a great people.
 The Russky slovo says the new douma will bring Russia into line with the wes- tern nations.
 If the war continues" it says, the army will be revivihed by the conscious ness of the impossibility of the contnua- ton of administrative vices which have produced the army's defeats" Prince Ouktomisky, editor of the Vie domosti says:
 'The project dissipates the illusion that the government would meet the hopes of the liberal majority. The douma question has been settled by admitting only loyal subjects cultivating ideals of autocratic authority"
 The Russ concludes a lengthy article as follows:
 All adversaries of the bureaucratic re- g.me are now delegated to the archives
 The Synodetchestva, while criticising certain points of the project says:
 August 19 will be recorded in history as day of victory for the Russian peo- pie over the dark powers, which although stubbornly resisting are yielding step by step"
 The principal objection raised to the project Is the high qualification necessary for city voters ranging from $675 annually in St. Petersburg and Moscow, to $400 in the smaller towns. This. it is argued, will exclude the vast majority of edu- cated persons from suffrage. Peasant representation, however, Is fully insured everywhere.

RAINS IN EScAM 1lA.
Cotton Suffers and Turpentine Plants
 Are Also Badly Handicapped.

Brewton, August 2o.-(special. )-Exces- sive rains continue almost daily in Es- cambia county, and the cotton crop is being rapidly ruined. Farmers say 1t has now been damaged at least fifty per cent and if the rains continue much longer it will be almost total failure in some places. Turpentine manufactur- ing plants are also being interferred with and the public roads are almost impas- sble in places. Taken altogether the present outlook for the country people Is not very roseate. An excellent corn crop has been raised but very little fodder has been saved.
 An effort Is being made, with fair pros pect of success to secure better mall fla cilities between Brewton and Mobile by getting the department to establish . service on the early morning train to Mobile.

NORWAY HAS PLAN.
Will Submit Project for the Dissolution
 of Norway and Sweden.

Christiana, August 20-The storthng will assemble tomorrow. The Associated Press is informed that the Norwegian government within a day or two will sub nit proposal relating to the dissolution of the union of Norway and Sweden. Both governments are anxious to se- cure solution of the difficulties at the earliest date possible.
 Consequently 1t Is understood that the storthng will request the riksdag to secure a dissolution of the union by for maj resolution and repeal of the treaty, and will immediately authorize the gov ernment to negotiate with the riksdag concerning Sweoen's condition. There Is an apparent strong feeling against the acceptance in Tokio of Swedens terms and especially against the destruction of any fortress Should Sweden not con cede it is considered probable that Nor way will propose arbitration of the dis puted points.

RUSSIAN IMPORTS
 SHOW FALLING OFF
EXPORTS OVER FRONTIER HOW EVER SHOW IN R E. FRANCE IS HEAVIEST LOSER OF ALL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.

Washington, August 20.--The imports into Russia over the European frontier during the first four months of the pres ent calender year have fallen of 27.o per cent as compared with imports during the corresponding period in 1904 Exports during the same period are 7,2 per cent In excess of 1904. Thes figures are taken from the Russian official trade returns just received at the department of com merce and labor. The heaviest decrease of imports were under the general heads of raw and semi-manufactured materials and are lightest under the head of manu- factures.
 The decrease in imports are distributed far from equality among the various countries that have been supplying Russia with articles of manufacture or consump- ton. From Germany the decrease was aobut 20 per cent; the United kington S6 about 20 per cent; the United Kingdom S6 latter trade discrimination is explained by the fact that the imports from France have been composed to a larger extent of articles of immediate consumption and luxuries.
 Owing to the considerable shrinkage in the quality and value of raw cotton im- ported the total imports credited to the United States and Egypt during the four months show even higher decreases. The imports of cotton from the United States have fallen about 5s per cent in value from $5, ,346.000 in 1904 to $641,00O in 1905 and 8 per cent in quality from 17.6 millions of pounds to 69.9 millions of pounds, while the total imports credited to this country have decreased about 46 per cent from s19 3s9, GOO in 1904 to s10.522. GOO in 1905. The imports from Egypt almost all cotton, show decreases from s4,144,0oo to sl,s67, ,O00. as a result of the decreased imports the amount of customs duties collected on all frontiers during the first four months of the present year are about 13.7 per cent lower than for the same period of the past year.

He immediately seized her and was in the act of accomplishing his pur- pose when her screams frightened him and he made his escape through the heavy undergrowth.
