CALLED MESSAGE OF UNREST.
London Outlook Comments on Presi-
dents Unique Recommendation.

London, Dec S-AmOng the great mass
Of comment on President Rooseveits s
message this week, it is probable that an
article In to-day's Outlook best repre-
sents the English opinion when 1t says:
President Roosevelt. for whom there
is a right and wrong in everything. and
who can hardly conceive Of proposition
having more than two sides TO it, is a
preacher by necessity. But If on its
philosophical side his message had an al
most automatic familiarity of manner, it's
matter, the programme It outlined, and
the suggestions embodied were for the
most part as novel as they were striking
I'VE refer not to any specific proposal,
though his advocacy of an inheritance
tax marks the beginning of a revolution
in the social finance of the United States,
but 10 the general tone of the message.
Never before has a President so
strongly emphasized the inadequacies of
an eighteenth-century constitution in the
face Of notwithstanding conditions, and
his insistence is all the more significant
for being in a measure Oblique and IN
conscious. An inference from his main
thesis rather than the thesis itself
touched upon and recognized, but no
where elaborated.

EXPOSE AGGRESSIVE SCHEME.
Reichstag Told of Efforts to Seize
Islands Belonging to Spain.

Berlin, Dec S.-Consternation was ere
ated in the Reichstag to-day when a
clerical delegate, Herr Erzberger, re-
vealed a scheme which. he said, had been
concocted by Germans to seize the island
of Fernando Po, a Spanish possession of
the west coast of Africa. Erzberger
charges that in 1880 the national Liberal
leader (Semler) urged merchant named
Georne to start several commercial enter
prises in Fernando Po. Semler promised
that the German Bank would loan $1,000
marks for the purpose.
After securing a stake in the island.
Goerne was TO provoke a quarrel with the
Spanish authorities. which would give
Germany an excuse to interfere and seize
the island.
Erzberger alleged that other similar
schemes have been hatched to appropri-
ate Spanish and Portuguese possessions.

EMIGRATION RUNNING ITALY
Fields Going to Decay for Lack Of
Men to Till Soil.
Money Sent Home Increases Price of
LabOr-Many Return to Native
Land Broken In Health.

London, Dec. S.-Prof. ViIlari has just
delivered an interesting lecture on the
seamy side Of Italian emigration, which
he said now threatened to become an ex-
odus. as whole tracts Of the country have
fallen out of cultivation for lack of la
borers. He pointed out that the num-
ber of emigrants had increased from
100 600 In 1876 TO 726 600 in 1895. and is still
increasing.
The professor declared that the problem
was a vast one. and had not been suffi-
ciently studied. He pointed out some
Of the consequences in the country itself,
saying that it had been observed in the
provinces of Udine and Belluno that the
money emigrants sent home tends to In
crease alcoholism and tuberculosis, while
the number OF alcoholic lunatics is in
creasing. From the beginning of spring
to the end Of autumn almost all the men
in that country were absent, and work
in the fields was left to the women, TO
the great injury of their health and that
Of their children.
Emigrants who had been in America
for FIVE OF six years returned with a good
sum of money, but in order to obtain it
as quickly as possible they had under
gone all sorts of privations IN unhealthy
climates, and frequently returned ruined
in health These emigTants usually
bought a field and built house.
The number Of emigrants from the
southern provinces in 1876 averaged
So. 600. In 1868 the average was pa, 600.
They sent home millions of money, wages
rose, the value of land increased, usury
disappeared. and the desire for educa-
ton grew. but the provinces were robbed
of their brood, and in many parts the
population had been reduced one-third,
and cnly the sick and the aged. with
the children, remained The propTietors
were unable TO afford the increased
wages. and more land went out of cul-
tivation. This further encouraged emil

termination of whole villages in South
Africa by German troops. who massaCred
adults and then drowned the children in
the river. The most that the government
could say In reply was that there had
been abuses, but that the worst reports
had been exaggerated.
The whole race question throughout
Africa has become one Of appalling seri-
BUSINESS Europe is determined TO rule
that continent, and the great problem of
the treatment OF the native races must
be speedily settled The Spectator to-
day truthfully says that there is positive
danger lest the whole native population
Of Africa should become penetrated with
a dread and hatred of white men"
1t is reported from many quarters that
this feeling IS already betraying itself
throughout the vast dominion Of the
Congo Free State, and 1t may easily
spread southwark and nOrthward till the
entire continent Of Africa is filed with q
hostility to Europe resembling that which
800 years ago undermined the ascendency
OF the triumphant Spanish monarchy.

FEAR RACE War IN AFRICA
European Diplomats See Danger of
Uprising Among Blacks.
German East Africa, Congo, and
Moor Districts All Filled with
Unrest and DISQUALIFICATION.

London, Dec S-The question Of the re-
lations between the white race and men
OF other colors is nearly a worldwide
agitation at the present moment. 1t oc-
cupies the public mind in England. Ger
many. Belgium. France. and Spain, and
It's problems are absorbing the attention
OF the government Of those countries.
The Congo question has now passed
from the stage Of sentimental discussion
into a serious international issue. It seems
probable that, despite the scathing con-
demnation of King Leopold In the Bel
gium Parliament, it is doubtful If genu-
Inc reforms will be voluntarily adopted
which will lead Great Britain to abandon
her declared intention to intervene in be
half of the natives. Then We shall see
the first serious test of the AnglO-French
entente.
1t has happened in all previous interna-
tional attempts to deal with the Congo
question that France has been supported
by Germany. There is little doubt that
Germany will continue to oppose any in
terference by the powers. The British
policy. of some form Of Intervention has
been only vaguely mentioned by Sir Ed
ward Grey. the foreign minister, but the
French attitude on the question has not
yet been indicated.
If the Clemenceau government reverses
the former position and supports Great
Britain. then for the first time the world
will realize the mOmentOus, far-reaching
Importance of that recent regrouping Of
the powers which has changed the direc-
ton Of modern political history.
France and Spain are on the eve of eX-
ecution of their mandate 10 reduce the
turbulent MoOrs TO order. and there is
every indication that their task Is more
formidable than the delegates to the
Algeciras conference expected Rough
work approaching war on a small scale
seems probable Germany watches with
Jealous eye, but apparently she has no
intention of making the task more diff
cult by real or threatened interference.
Germany. indeed. has a race scandal of
her own OF the blackest description. No
story of the Congo, of Russian ante
bellum atrocities in Manchuria, can COM
pare in horror with that told in the
Relchstag this week by Herr Bebel, the
socialist leader. He described the ex-

sERvIA'S WOES INCREASING.
Conduct of Crown Prince May Result
I'm New Dynasty.

London, Dec. S.-The unrest in SeTvia
is rapidly increasing. and there is rea-
son TO fear another dynastic upheaval
in this turbulent little kingdom in the
near future. The plot to place a foreign
prince on the throne has entirely fallen
through, but It is being revived In a new
direction. There is no danger Of another
regicide, but it is quite likely that King
Peter viii long retain this throne. The
stories about the crown prince and his
cruelty increase every day
Court functionaries resign on the plea
Of 81 teaith, but the truth soon leaks
out that the conduct Of the crown prince
is unfavorable. A startling bit Of news
this week is that two gendarmes who
were on duty at the palace mysteriously
disappeared.

President Mitchell said today that the
anthracite miners would hold another
convention. That, he said, was pro-
vided for in the resolution adjourning

It will not be held until after the In
