After an election such as we are
having today, it is not unusual TO
hear complaints made against

no doubt transpire that the dissat-
isfed citizens failed to vote. The

ence to cast his ballot at a city

MONDAY EVENING. JAN. o. 1905.

ACCORDING 10 newspaper reports, one
hundred thousand men are out OF en-
pl,yment in the city of New York, and
this. too, 10 midwinter and with no re-
liefin sight The charitable institutions
ofthe city are taxed to their fullest ca
pacity in alternating the distress OF the
unemployed. These are sad conditions
in any community, but more so IN
large city which is world in itself,
where thousands of people are pushing,
showing aud kniIing each other; where
landlords are memorable and everything
that enters into housekeeping is dispens-
ed on a cash principle. Yet the great
majority of people prefer to crowd INTO
a metropolis where many exc out sorry
existepces. Ia the smaller cities or ru-
raj Districts worthy people generally
manage to find employment at one occu'
patton or another, while in the great
whirIpooIs, where they are unknown
they may tramp the streets from
morn till night without finding
work or a friend. An impecunious
individual once spoke of tile ''terrible
London streets" which he traversed in
penniess condition without meeting
single acquaintance. The great British
metropolis is said to contain at present
half a million people who are out OF EN-
ployment. Work cannot be procured
and but few persons can be found who
will manifest any interest in the suffer
ings of the unemployed.

Fear Japanese Squadron.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 9.-Grave fears
have been created in this city by the
rumor that a strong japanese squadron
is en- route at all speed for Madagascar
to meet Admiral Rojestvensky and take
advantage of the Baltic vessels while
they are undergoing repairs. II the
Russian vessels try to escape, the Japa-
nese will be able to overtake them, it is
said, as Admiral Rojestvensky's vessels
have inferior speed to the japanese.
These fears and the credit given the
rumor indicate that the Russian semi
official quarters are in state of blue
funk.
The newspaper Viestnik reports that
heavy snowstorms are raging in Man
churia. At the Nijnesndinsk and Tais-
Chef stations on the Trans.Siberian road
seventy locomotives have been held up
by the storm, delaying the schedule of
the military trains for three days. One
hundred other trains are snowbound on
the Slatostoski line.
Toxic, Jan. 9.-While nothing official
has as yet been obtained as to the mum
Der of Russians that paid the price Of
the defense Of Port Arthur, it is estimat-
ed, from such facts as are at hand, that
fully 20, 900 of the Cars troops were
killed or wounded during the siege.
Nagasaki, Japan, Jan. 9.-One thou
sand wounded Russians arrived at Maya
saki, from Port Arthur today. They
were taken to the hospitals of the city.

Internat ionaI Commission

Paris, Jan. 9.-The International
Commission, formed to investigate the
Dogger Bank tragedy, reconvened this
morning. Admiral Fournier was unani-
mOusly elected chairman. He addressed
the commission, alluding to the example
of wisdom and moderation given by
King Edward and Car Nicholas in
constituting the mission. The body
then retired for secret deliberation to
agree on the regulations which shall
govern the procedure of the commission.
A second meeting has been announced
this afternoon. 1t is expected that
today programme will continue, and
that two meetings will be held daily un,
til the questions are settled.

Governor Folks Address.

Jefferson, Mo-, Jan. 9.--In hisinaug-
uration address Governor Folk devoted
more time to the Doodle question than to
other subjects. He said in part "The
legislators lot is not an easy one. The
pittance he receives for his work is
hardly sufficient to supply his neces-
sary wants. The temptations on every
hand assume the most insduous
forms. An innocent present given in
supposed friendship may have concealed
10 it the germ that will lead to the down
fall of legislative honors. All true
Missourians are proud that the State is
the leader in the fight for good govern
ment now being made all over the land.
There has been no more corruption here
than In some other States, but it has
been exposed and punished here. This
is Missouri's glory and not her shame.
| promise the people Of this State TO do
my best to punish bribery and the prom
Use, | assure you, is going to be kept to
the letter."

Pope Prohibits the Yete.

One of the most importsnt acts thus
in the pontifcate OF Pore Plus X. has far
been embodied in secret bull, the text
OF which will not be made public until
the pontiH ia dead, when it will be read
as forming part Of the constitution in
the next conclaye to elect his successor.
The bull is in connection with the claims
of Austia, Fraace, and Spain as to
their right to veto the election of any
cardinal to the papacy. All the cardinals
have not been informed as to the contents
Of the document. it having been drawn
up in accordance with decision reached
10 meetings held by the cardinals living
in Rome, with the exception of Cardinal
Rampolla, who is absent from the city.
The bull is the direct result of the
veto against Cardinal Rampolla, should
he have been elected as successor to Leo
XIII, which was presented to the con-
claye August 2, 1903, by Cardinal
Puzyna, Bishop of Karkowiec, Austria
at the instance Of Emperor Francz
Joseph.
Briefly, the bull says that all cardinals
are absolutely forbidden, under penalty
OF exclusion from the conclave and not
being allowed to vote, to be the bearer
OF a message of veto, and that if any
cardinal, knowing the intention of his
ruler to object to the election of "a cardinal
this intention to his col
leagues in the conclave, he also will be
excluded and not allowed TO vote.

Official CafhoIic Chant.

Catholic Church authorities in Wash.
ington have been informed that the
official, or Vatican, edition Of the Plain
Chant is now being issued by the Vati-
can presses and will reach this country
early next month. Their arrival here
will end the discussion as to whether
this ruling Of the new pontiff is to be
considered obligatory. Every bishop
and priest, on the receipt 0fthis edition,
will be expected to begin to make the
music cOniormable to the mandate.
This will take time, but the Pope ex.
poets every pastor to train boys and
men choirs 20 supplaDt the tabooed
woman's voices. There is no longer
any outspoken opposition to the change,
though Washington priests frankly
acknowledge that the new rule will nev-
err be either popular or artistically sue
cessful.

THAT CONFERENCE.

An important conference regarding
legislative questions pending before Con-
gress was held at the White House Sat
urday afternoon. In addition to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the parties to the confer
ence were Speaker Cannon, Senators
Allison, Aldrich, SpOoner, and Plat, Of
Connecticut, and Representatives Payne,
Dalzell, Grosyenor and Tawney.
1t is said on the authority OF the Pres
ident that no conclusions we're reached
at the conference. Indeed, the state
ment is made that other conferences will
be held before decisions of a definite
character are reached. At the conclu-
sion Of the conference the President
authorized the following statement con-
corning it
Chose gentlemen came here to
discuss various matter of policy be
fore Congress, including the tariff and
the Interstate Commerce law, but they
are not ready yet to announce any def
mite conclusion"
The President would 60 no further
than that, but he emphasized the point
that no definite conclusion had been
reached.
An extra session aud the tariff were
the questions under consideration, but
no conclusions were reached, and all the
oOnferees were pledged to say nothing of
what transpired The President is now
sounding the sentiment of two Houses.
The interstate commerce law and rail-
road rates we're also considered. 1t is
said by some to be entirely likely that
no definite conclusion regarding either
the general subject OF revision or the
calling of an extraordinary session will
be reached for several weeks, but Others
say it was decided to postpone tariff
revision until fall, and not to call an
extra session in the spring.
