Napoleon Originator Of Press Bureau.
From the San Francisco Gall

From the San Francisco Call.
Napoleon knew what was going on. He
was the inventor of the press clipping sys-
tenn. He had diligent men, who kept watch
for Objectionable articles.
When the articles appeared he would
write like this-to Fouche. of course: 1.-The
Journal de lEmpire still goes on badly.
What business has it to insert Mr.. Can
ning's speech in the Copenhagen intelli-
gence? Had the editor that speech before
him? Ought he to have inserted it without
knowing that 1t suited me? That young
man is either an ill-disposed person or a
fool. Tell him SO from me- If he does not
change his ways shall change the editor I"
Napoleon was the first Of sovereigns to
realize the usefulness of a press bureau"
He wanted public opinion turned his way.
He did not summon the journalists to his
palace and explain his policy to them. He
was deeper than that. He used Fouche
One day he wrote to Fouche from St
Cloud: Have articles written bringing the
conduct Of the King of Sweden, who has
shamefully abandoned one Of his towns
to the enemy, into strong relief. The arti-
cles must be Conceived in a serious tone.
You must have long articles which faith
fully depict the King of Sweden's weakness
inconsistency and folly. You must have
one specially long article which will be. a
sort Of indictment of him." Fouche under
stood these matters quite WE'LL He was as
siduous in his duty. The articles were
forthcoming.
1t mattered not whether Napoleon were
at Fontainebleau during Messidor in the
year XIII counting from the blessed revo-
luton which created him, or at Paris, or
Benevente, or Schonbrun in Italy, Ger
many, Austria or Russia, In any year; the
instructions were always speeding from
him to Fouche
All this was before the day Of the inter-
viewer. Napoleon did not have to deny
printed reports of his conversations. He
Instructed Fouche to instruct the papers
what to print, and the editors were COM
PLEASANT. +, however, they proved to be OBJ
durate, they were forthwith arrested.

MANY PEOPLE ON

| GLASGOW, August 25.-It is said that at
| least a million Observation-Disclosures
| included-have left London during the last
| thirty days. OF the million 1t is safe to
, wager that at least 100000 are in Scotland.
| Perhaps never before in its history have
there ever been as many people on the SOIL
| of Scotland as there are today.
The king goes to Cowes for the yachting
and to the continent for the cures. So
ciety follows the example set by royalty,
but society also makes its own laws and
establishes its own royal regulations in the
matter of an interlude spent In Scotland
for the grouse OF course the queen
quite often spends some time in the High
lands while the king is at Marienbad and
that makes a difference" as the Amer
lean visitors phrase it. Here are places
where royalty may be found at play:
The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland are
at Dunrobin Castle; the Duke and Duchess
of Norfolk at kinharvie, Dumfriesshire,
visiting Lord and Lady Herries; the Duke
and Duchess of Bedford, after a short
yachting cruise. visit Cairnsmore, kircud-
brightshire.
Others on the List.
The Dowager Warehouses of Headfort
is at Invergloy, Inverness shire; the Mar
quis and Marchioness of Graham are stay
ing with the Duke of Montrose at Buchan-
an Castle; the Marquis and Warehouses
of Tullibardine are first at Dunkeld House.

This is only little list There hum
dreds of others, ranging all the way from
the Countess of Elgin, who usually prefers
Dunfermline, to Mr.. H. SOUTH, who would
be absolutely lost if he did not spend his
holidays In Scotland. Others In govern
ment circles who are already in the high
lands are the lord chancellor, the lord chief
justice, Lord Lansdowne and dozens of
others. To really attempt to partcularize
would fill columns of any ordinary news

Window Dressing Measure.
Mr. Sinclair's Scottish small holdings bill
is politically and locally regarded as win
up a land court for Scotland and estab-
fishes the principle of compulsory appro-
priation of land for agricultural purposes
The claim is also made that ii is intended
to apply to Scotland a solution of the land
problem which has been discredited in Ire
land. Thirty forty years ago it was
believed that the Irish tenant-former need
ed nothing but fxity of tenure and a fair
rent He got these privileges at a consid-
cradle price to the community, but the
land problem was not solved. 1t was dis
covered that for economic salvation he
needed to be turned into landowner, and
the subject provision was made for buying
out practically all the landlords in Ire
land
As understood under the terms of the
new measure, the government proposes to
set up land commission in place of the
Crofters' commission and the congested dis
tricts board.

seized. 1t is the practice of the coopers
to sell their cargoes to fishermen.

.FRU|T|ON OF
IRISH HOPES
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star
DUBLIN, August 25.-Something of a
futter has been caused by the rather cryp-
tic utterances of Sir Antony mcdonnell,
permanent under secretary for Ireland, at a
recent banquet here. What, 1t is being
asked. did Sir Antony mean when he ex-
pressed "his firm belief that the next ses-
sion of parliament would see the fruition
of many of those hopes which the best
Irishmen had for years entertainment Many
there are who think the answer is to be
found in the announcement made by min
listers in the kings speech at the opening
of parliament that they had under con-
sideration plans for improving and effecting
economics in the government of Ireland.
and Introducing into 1t means for associat-
ing the people with the conduct of Irish
affairs
1t is known that since that time inquiries
have been on foot and il is now quite GER
tain that an Irish government bill will be
the principal measure before parliament in
the session of 1907. Unonists profess to
believe that this may be the first of the
home rule by installment' system. More
than once. however, the prime minister has
stated that no attempt will be made to
pass home rule without first appealing to
the country, and that what the government
has in view Is Ito give Ireland a large
measure OF management In local affairs
In other words, development OF the policy
which the unionists have themselves pur-
sued
Advanced State of Preparation.
There is good ground for supposing that
the bill is in an advanced state of prepara-
ton by the responsible heads of the Irish
office Nothing is known about the char
acter of the measure. but the impression
Is that bold assault will be made upon
what is known as castle government in
Ireland. At Dublin castle there are. 1t is
stated, no fewer than forty-one different
government departments. Some of these
are comparatively unimportant, but many
of them are important What is believed
to be in contemplation is the coordination
under the control of some kind of popular
O. ly elected central council. The nationalist
leaders themselves do not~hesitate to say
that sooner or later they will be able to
force large-sized home rule concessions out
of the government
Freeman's Journal thus anticipates the
action of the government: THE current
of events points to the introduction next
session of an Irish measure at least In the
direction of home rule. The larger the
measure the better, not merely for Ire
land. but for the government. The cabinet
needs only a little courage to settle the
question. The precedent of South Africa
may be followed with advantage"

ASSERTIONS BY
ENEMIES OF POPE
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROME, August 25.-The pope's encycical
is fiat declination to accept the terms
of the French separation act. The issue
concerns parish administration. The law
requires that a cult association" practi-
cally a board Of trustees, shall be estab-
lished in each parish. This board is made
responsible for the maintenance of worship
and in general for all the actions Of the
church.
In every parish in France Catholics will
be subject to ejectment from the churches
Moreover, the property Of such churches
reverts to the communes Article Z Of the
separation act says: I'm default of any as
ISOLATION to take over the property Of an
establishment of public worship, this prop
erty will be assigned by decree to the town
establishments of charity and benef1cence
situated within the territorial limits of the
ecclesiastical district In question" The
pope's encyclical leaves every commune
free to apply the resources of recalcitrant
churches to the poor fund and hospitals.
The law has retarded the march of con-
fiscation by requiring in every case a de-
cree of court. The hope Of Plus x is
believed to be that the enforcement of the
act will make so much trouble that the
government will be led to adopt amend
ments acceptable to the church. The en-
cyclical, indeed. contains hint that the
passive resistance enjoined upon French
Catholics is tactical in character.
What Enemies Of Pope Say.
The enemies of the pope are everywhere
saying that he has entirely fallen into the
hands of reactionaries After condemning
in the most blind and retrogressive way the
the italian Catholic party known as Chris
tian democrats, which, while entirely SUBJ
servient to the ecclesiastical authorities in
spiritual matters, claim their liberty in po-
litical affairs, it is said the pontif Is about
to condemn in the same fashion similar
movements existing among French, English
and American Catholics. In this attitude,
so contrary to the policy which the pope
seemed DESTROYS of following at the begin
ming of his pontificate, are traced Spanish
influences, headed by Cardinals Merry del
Val and Wives TutO. This taken in con-
nection with the reactionary tendencies
manifested in dealing not only with the
government OF France. but the government
of Italy, is causing apprehension here.
''Brigands at the Gates of Rome!' Such
was the startling phrase that headed a coll
umn in one OF the Italian papers recently.
That there are brigands still left in this
lovely land Is brought home to newspaper
readers at intervals. This irrepressible per-
sonage was q noteworthy element of the
travellers experience in Italy. No English
account Of travels in the sunny south was
complete unless 1t had one or more encoun-
ters with brigands to lend spice.

Demand for Money.

"Money!-quattrinit' shouted the raucous
voice from the shelter Of the large oak
overhanging the road, and the appeal was
persuasively backed up by the ferocious-
looking character who had uttered 1t point
ing a double-barreled gun at De Angels
The latter remembered that he was un-
armed, that his horse could not be driven
at a rapid pace, and, obeying the sugges-
tions of prudence, he pulled out his pocket
book and threw down a $40 bill on the
ground In the direction of the ugly, ragged,
grisey-bearded Individual.
The pocketbook Also said the man in
the thicket. De Angels pleaded that the
rest Of its contents was matter of no use
to any one but the owner. 1.-The pocket
book!" repeated the brigand, with an in
sistency not to be denied; SO the pocket
book followed the ten-dollar note first
given; it contained another ten-dollar note.
Now go ahead, and don't look behind
you,' was the final recommendation of the
robber to the robbed. The robbed followed
instructions.
