RADICALS THREATEN TO HURRY
COUNTRY INTO IRREPARA-
BILE ACTION.
KOSSUTH is MAN OF THE HOUR
FORMATION OF ONE GREAT
PARTY UNDER HIS LEADER
SHIP URGED.

London, Sept. 28.-The correspond
says:
"The widest rumors are af1Oat ii
Budapest. One paper publishes 6
statement that the king emperor in
tends to resign the crown of Hungary
in favor of Prince Francis Ferdinand
and other similarly unauthenticated
statements are made.
''The situation here grows worse
daily. The radical element threaten tC
swamp the Moderate party and tc
hurry the country into irreparable &C
ton. Public references to the dynasty
are made in tone which it is
Impossible to Reproduce.
The principal newspapers urge the
formation of one great party under
Francis Kossuth This is supported by
Cossuth, Count Apponyi and Baron
Banffy."
Other special dispatches represent
the situation as serious, but say it is
evident that the conservative elements
hesitate to countenance the driving OF
matters to a point where compromise
would be impossible.
The Daily Telegraph's Budapest cor.
respondent says that extreme excite
ment prevails, accompanied by de.
termination to keep up the struggle to
the bitter end. The correspondent con
tinues: "The Independent party is be-
1ieved to have secured
100000 New Adherents,
while the old Liberal party has broken
up. The partisans of KOssuth have
also obtained the upper hand in quar-
tiers which formerly were dominated
by the socialists"
According to all reports, however,
the coalition leaders are doing every
thing to keep popular sentiment from
reaching a point where it cannot be
controlled, realizing that the passions
of the people have already been in
famed by the reports of the emperor's
reception and treatment of the Hun
garian representatives at Vienna Sat

bring about an irreparable disaster.
The coalition leaders have issued a
proclamation stating that they are de-
termined to eschew all revolutionary
methods.
King May Change His Mind.
Kossuth is quoted as saying he be-
lieved that the king-emperor would
yet change his mind and grant conces-
sions to Hungary.
Both in Budapest and Vienna it is
realized that much depends on the
outcome of the great meeting of all the
coalition parties to be held at Buda-
pest Oct. 8, at which it is understood a
plan for legalized opposition will be
formulated.
In we'll informed circles in Vienna
the situation is regarded with a GER
tain amount of pessimism, but there is
an entire absence of any definite idea
as to what is likely to be the real out
come of the present apparent chaos.
The Budapest newspapers are printing
violent editorials.

FIRED INTO STREET CAR.

Italian Takes Revenge for Being
Elected From Crowded Car.
Kansas City, Sept. 27-Frank Mikel,
an Italian, shot into a crowded street
car a mile from the business district,
last night because he had been elected
from the car, was chased by crowd
of men that gathered quickly and
was badly beaten before the police
rescued him. Mikel sought refuge in
a basement, from which he was
dragged by the crowd, and it probably
was due only to the arrival of the po-
lice that he was not killed. The bullet
fired by Mikel shattered the glass
windows in the car above the heads of
the passengers, barely missing a mum

GUARANTEE OF PEACE IN EAST.
Text Of Agreement Between Great
Britain Made Public there will leo

Text of Agreement Between Great
Britain Made Public there viii leo
London, Sept. 28.-The text of the
new agreement between Great Britain
and Japan, which was signed by Lord
Lansdowne, the British foreign secre-
tary, and Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
minister to Great Britain, on Aug. II,
was issued by the foreign Office late
last evening. The momentous docu-
ment is a brief one, comprising less
than 800 words, including eight arti-
Giles and preamble.
Accompanying the agreement is a
covering letter from Lord Lansdowne
to the British ambassadors at st. Pc
tersburg and Paris, for transmission to
the Russian and French governments,
respectively, in which the foreign Sec
rotary courteously reviews the agree
ment and carefully points out that the
new defensive alliance is
Not Intended as Menace,
but rather as a guarantee of peace
and prosperity in the Far East, in
which all countries may participate.
The main features of the new agree
ment have already been forecasted in
the Associated Press dispatches from
London and Paris. The pithy articles
of the official text, however, bring out
forcefully the tremendous Importance
| to both countries of this alliance,
which practically makes Great Britain
Japan and japan Great Britain for the
purposes of defense lin the regions of
East Asia and India" This inclusion
of India specifically as point at which
any aggression by foreign power
will call for the assistance of Japan
finds much favor with the press Of
London, the morning papers, in long
| laudatOry articles, welcoming the new
and
More Extensive Alliance
of the two insular kingdoms West and
East as giving immediate relief from
the dangerous thundercloud which for
so many years has hung over the In
| dian frontier.
Baron Hayashi, who was interviewed
by the Associated Press after the pub
| LEGATION of the agreement, said:
"The new treaty forms an effective
safeguard against the renewal of dis
turbances in the Far East. That is its
| object We cannot say that a perma-
nent peace has been secured-that is
too much to be sure of, but we can
aver that tranquility has been assured
for long time to come. This applies
not only to Great Britain and Japan,
but also
To All Powers
having political or commercial inter-
ests in that part of the world; in fact,
to all who have been interested in
maintaining the status quo, | repeat
that the treaty is a sure guarantee OF
peace, for that is it's aim and object.
1t should be clearly recognized by all
that it is not meant as a menace to
any one"
While there is some criticism of the
treaty in the Radical newspapers, it is
only half-hearted, and as a whole,
London, which has been anxiously
awaiting the breaking of official silence
with regard to the document, heaves
sigh of relief and greets with great
satisfaction the positive assurance of
the future assistance of a powerful
Oriental ally in all matters pertaining
to Far Eastern politics.

TALE OF HORROR FROM CONGO
French Mission Sent Out Under Brazza
Makes Its Report.

=
Makes Its Report.
Paris, Sept. 28.-M. Clementel, min
lister of the colonies, yesterday re-
ceived the report of the mission to the
French Congo sent out last spring I'M
der Count de Brazza, who, on the re-
of French West Africa.
In connection with the sending of
this mission a considerable sensation
was aroused owing to the publication
of charges against M. Gentil, commits
sioper general of the French Congo al
leging maladministration and great
cruelty toward the natives. M. Gentil
is now in Paris in precarious state Of
health.
Flog Men to Death.
Among the cases of cruelty cited in
the report is that of number OF ma
tives who were fiogged to death with
knotted whips. 1t is also asserted
that in order to force the natives to
pay taxes the colonial office at Bangui
in May, 1904, imprisoned fifty-eight
women and ten children, and that
within five weeks forty-seven of these
died of starvation.
A letter from Count de Brazza, dated
Aug. "a, just before the beginning OF
his fatal return journey, throws light
on the Congo. In it he says:
81 found the conditions at Bangui
intolerable The population there was
being destroyed by acquisitions. Ev-
erything was done to hide the true
state of affairs from the mission,
which, however, discovered serious
abuses. No reform is possible without
a change of administration. | return
with the belief that the dispatch of my
Mission Was Necessary,
as otherwise in a short time we should
have to face worse scandals than those
confronted by the Belgians.
Minister elemental is determined to
thoroughly investigate the charges
after the national funeral over the re-
mains of Count de Brazza.

P1ETRo's PERs1sTANcE.

Pietro was saving while he gathered olives. When his purse was fun enough he went down to the seacoast and bought q ticket for America. He hadn't trachoma or any of the other diseases for which the immigration officials watch, and he was soon started on the five-year road to citi- ,zenship. Meanwhile; he found his brethren in the golden streets pulling the plan or sellin the banan'. Pietro decided to win his way to the hearts of the new people through the great American stomach instead of the great American ear for handorgan music. Pietro marched in the sun from door to door, his fruit on his shoulder. When he became more prosperous he bought push-ca prefering to carry his burden like horse than a la Atlas. Then Pietro joined Italian saving so- l cieties, and his funds not being appli- I ed by frenzied financiers he soon found himself able to pay tribute to the city controller for stall in market. When the fruit companies were at war and rival boats from the tropics arrived on the same day Pietro bought his banan as cheap. If they were green, ne stored them in his cellar, and they ripened with advancing prices. When the im- porters were at peace, Pietro bought ripe bananas because the companies could not ship the. inland. The jobber
 did not figure with Pietro He recognize ! ed no middle mans profits save his own. Then the men, who run the ships and buy the fruit by the grove, decid- | ed to sell bananas by the pound in- stead of by the bunch. Pietro objected,
 but he was not recognized. Pietro ceas- ed to be an Italian and became an American as he had seen Americans,
 ''Boycot-a de banan'," was the slogan. It was not shouted from the house. tops; it was whispered at the stalls. In a few days Pietro's persistence was eff fective. The wharves were deserted by the market men, and none have since
 returned. Pietro is still in market, but he is not selling bananas. The import- CTS are still bringing boats to Balti- 4 more, but they are not selling bananas to Pietro. But--and this is the moral for both Pietro and the shipowners- this town will get really hungry for
 bananas some day, and craving pa- late has no conscience.-Baltimo News,

SENATOR MITCHELL's CONvIC-
 TON

It is a disagreeable but salutary ob- 5ect lesson that is afforded by the con- yiction of Senator of the United States, of great age anI long years of service more or less honorable, it is true and one of which heed should be taken by youth and it's preceptors and Instructors. That a man could hold such an exalted office and yet be en- gagged in a fragrant, if somewhat petty, violation of the law is almost incredi- ble, and yet, unfortunately, in the case of Senator Mitchell there seem to have been no extenuating circumstances. Indeed, If the published biographies are Erue, he began his manhood life by a rrinlinal act for which he was not on- " punished but for which the people of Oregon forgave and rewarded him. To-day they are rebuked by seeing their chosen representative in disgrace.
 It IS 3 matter of common report that when he left Pennsylvania for Oregon fifty years or so ago--he is just past seyenty-Mr. Mitchell deserted a wife and, changed his name. In the new Western country no questions were asked and, although he has been al- SW1Jpt GoAopSCISus OItcH uCCuSeu ana more than once convicted by popular opinion of gross innmorality, if nothing worse, the people of Oregon have hon. pred this man with repeated elections to the United States Senate. His powers of dissimulation must be great, for his colleagues as we'll as his con- stituents have been to cretain extent rnistled. Never bearing a spotless re- putation, this aged Senator, by means of eloQuenee and tears, was able to turn the tide of criticism slightly to his favor at the time of his indictment, but now the unanimous verdict of the Jury brands him criminal, and there appears to be no escape for him.
 Humilating as it is, however, that a man so long holding high and honor- able public office should sacrifice his good name and the good name of his State for money, there is little or no Justification for the oft-heard opinion

turtles as the crown of s all feminine virtues, but Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman has small respect for the au- thority of centuries, and, in an article in the current number of the Inde- pendent she takes exception to most of the accepted views on this subject.
 In the first place, she p9ints out that there are different kinds of mod esty, and in the next she maiptains that In the sense in which the word is most commonly used it is a masculine and not feminine virtue, so far as the human species is concerned.
 "In all nature" says Mrs. Gilman, "the female sex is modest in the sense of being dull in color, simple In form, 4quiet in demeanor She iS in herself ! the attraction, the eternal drawing power; for her and to her come the males, numerous, varied, ardent, vent ing their superfluous energies in a thousand gaudy decorations, struttfng and battling before her.
 But with us,' she proceeds, "the male is becoming more and more mod est. He dresses for use; he must, be- cause his use is social and overwhelm- ingly important. Every man who works must dress for his work; and only in those primitive survivals the military class, the ancient churches and their academic progeny and the leisure class of still lingering feudalism does the males still carry ornament l But our female has been false to the most inherent laws of her sex and adopted this essentially masculine function of sex decoration. She it is, with us, who outdoes the antlered stag in her towering headgear, the buffalo in shaggy boa and tippet, the peacack in her flowing train. She it is who shines in spangles like a fish and f1ut- ters in the borrowed plumage of the bird (the male bird.) She it is-not he-who parades and performs in va ried accomplishments, in all the elab- crate arrangements offered by what i've call social opportunities, in order to attract the male of her species, who is her means of livelihood.
 That she should do this is natural
