ACCUMULATION OF APPANAGE
Especial Copyright Cable. }

PARIS, June 10.-It becomes more eyi-
dent every day that the Vatican IS anx-
icus to effect reconciliation with the
House of Savoy. and many are the sug-
gestions which have been made to end
the long quarrel between state and
church in Italy.
None OF these suggestions has been
discussed, SO much as one recently made
by Monsignor Patrici that the Pope
should accept the appdnage offered ths
Holy Father by the Italian government
thirty-five years ago.
Should Plus x decide TO do this ie5.0c0.-
coo lires will be paid into the Papai
treasury representing the appanage ac-
cumulated since 1870
All point out that the appanage OF
the Pope, unlike that of the King. is
not subject to revision by the Italian
people. it having been fixed by interna-
tionaf consent when the Italian govern
menI had it sanctioned by reprrseta-
tiyes of all powers.
The long and the short of 1t is that
the Vatican needs money, that the Pc
ter's pence are steadily decreasing and
that a certain clique among the carti-
nails would like to zee hold OF the mil
lions which are theirs for the asking.

NEW TREATY RATIFIED

LONDON, June 10-By the return
of certain members of the English mis-
sion to AfEhanistan to London it is
understood that the treaty with the
Ameer has been ratified and that any
danger CT the Aslatic sovereign being
influenced OF coerced by Russia is now
at an end.
It is also possible to illustrate now
many scenes and incidents of the mis-
sion.
Mission Is Important.
The Importance of the mission can
scarcely be overrated. the political
status of Afghanistan being of the high
est moment to British statesmen, as
was evinced on Thursday night by Mr..
Balfours speech, in which he intimated
that any extension OF the Russian rail-
ways into Afghan territory would De
token as casus belli by Great Britain
The premier, whose speech was an
equivalent to Mr.. Gladstone's famous

that SO long as Afghanistan remained
buffer state and that Russia did not
Cor was not allowed toy run railways
into the country, SO long was India free
from sudden attack. Afghanistan, then,
must pay the penalty of not being de
yeloped; for IN our DAYS development
means railways, and railways IN this
case mean the possibility of attack.
Key to India.
Afghanistan, then. is the key to India,
and. as Lord Roberts found, il is not
easy to move troops in that country in
its present condition, which must re-
main it's condition for the future If
peace is to prevail between England
and Russia. Mr.. Balfours declarations
on the subject of India are very differ
ent from those he made some years ago,
when he said that he saw no reason
why Russia should not have a warm
water port n the Pacific" Russia's ac-
ton on that assurance brought her to
Port Arthur and has sent her back to
the Siberian. frontier; there can be no
excuse for similar action on the north
west frontier of India. II Russia finds
herself in trouble, it will not be for
want OF definite warning; and the pre-.
nier's speech viii bear rereadfng by

BERLIN June 10.-Prince Khilkoff,

ican than Russian. having spent many
years on the other side of the Atlantic,

that Russia is crushed. Is an ardent ad-
vocate of prolonging the war, and as
his influence with the Car is very
strong 1t is more than probable that
peace is as far off as ever.

nearly fifteen in the week and in the last
two months they have knocked of nearly

has not done badly.
may here say that the meeting Of dele
gates which described in my last letter
did not outvote their executive, as l was
informed but strongly supported the de-
termination to keep the hour day as an
ideal, but for the present to be content
with reduction to about 10 hours and not
10 strike for more, The executive was
In fact supported by 800 votes to 20 and
everything shows that the executive or
strikes committee was right The weapon
Of a general strike is too powerful to be
brought out except for some special or all
important aim. 1t is like an ancient king;
it should not be seen very often.
There Ia a general opinion that a nine
hour day will soon be enforced by law.
/ Even the employers believe this, and they
look forward to making UP the loss by
increased duties on imports and higher
prices for their goods. 1t must be re-
membered that under the Russian factory
laws any one who incites a strike or joins
In it is liable to imprisonment for four to
eight months, and till last December all
trade unions were illegal, as were all meet
ings Of workmen. 1t is true that Count
Plehve OF evil memory encouraged meet
ings in his district, but his object was to
seize all the leaders and best speakers and
spirit them away no one knows where.
The Government Is too frightened now, but
II the reaction succeeds they will do the
same again. II is the Russian method of
protecting property. Only yesterday, as
hear, the leaders OF the peasants meeting
at Moscow were arrested and hurried of
to jail. 1t is because the peasants cannot
strike.

the land and keeping the family alive in
the starving village at home.
Between the village and the factory they
are continually passing to and fro. Some
times as many as half the hands in mill
will 20 of to their villages during the year
and come back again. If the working son
on the land is called to the army, mill
hand walks of to take his place. If labor
is short at harvest, they go. II the village
community is redividing the land, they go.
The father Of the house at home can always
send for them. 1t comes Of that touching
passion for the land which Is the great
motive Of the Russian people. Mercilessly
robbed as they have been, nothing has
yet induced them to believe that land can
belong to Gar or prince or proprietor
Land, they say cannot belong to people
who do not work it. The land belongs to
the peasants. II only the Car knew what

standard OF living why said a manager,
"these people are quite satisfied with black
bread and cucumbers.' He meant the
picked gherkins in barrels as you may smell
them in Pettcoat lane. To me it seems
possible that there is some connection be-
tween the standard of food ar d that standard
of work.
From what have seen Of the interior Of
the wooden huts where the work people
chiefly dwell, in filthy courts running out
Of the main street, the manager was quite
right. The staple food is black bread,
picked oucumbers and tea almost I'm
limited tea, without milky and an occasional
debauch on the States vodka, which now,
1 believe, pays the greater part Of the
tyranny's expenses. The families l have
seen had only one room, and l am told it
is impossible to find family with two.
A room costs from is to rs shilings month,
and any large room is divided between two
or more families. In some cases each OF
the four corners is occupied by a different
family, separated OF by strings and shawls,
as used to be the fashion in the East End.
There is no washing of any kind in the
homes, but by the one salutary rubric Of
the Orthodox Church all men Il am not
80 sure about women) must wash before
they 90 to service. On those occasions they
go to q public bath, and after the water
they lie steaming on shelves and wipe
themselves down with branches Of birch.
The effect is said TO be very satisfactory.
The workpeople have the further adj
vantage Of twenty-three ecclesiastical holi-
days in the year, besides Sundays, and the
masters are expected to provide hospital
or to pay for medical assistance, even for
women with child. At one Of the English
mills, at all events, clubroom for lectures
and concerts and amusements has Just
been erected, but the revolution has ar
rested culture OF that kind. 1t has also
arrested football, which was becoming
popular. The only native amusements
appear to be knucklebones (bapk) and
that drinking debauch every fortnight
when wages are paid. 1t is fairly signifi-
cant that last Sunday night the Union Of
Unions" decided to give up all spirits,
tobacco and other Government monopo-
lies, not for any reason Of total abstinence
but TO deprive the Government of its rev.
enue. The members Of the Gaelic League
are doing the same in Ireland
There Is one popularity which compli-

it was a Beethoven number for the
