PAPAL ROAD USELESS.
Vatican Regards Maloney's Scheme
With Disfavor.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROME, June 22.-In a way the pope
appears to have appreciated the kindly
though of MT. Maloney. the American finan-
cier, who proposed buying strip of land
in order to construct papal road from the
Vatican to the sea- Only a. few days ago
he said that the idea, while kindly meant,
would be. useless. for he would never live
to see it carried into execution. AS for
future popes, they might not care quite so
much for the country and the seashore
and hence subscriptions for that purpose
had better be deferred until his successor
lis elected. It, Is believed here that the
Italian government would never consent
to the project, even II 1t were directly
favored by the holy father.
One reason why 1t Is thought here that
Mr.. Maloney's proposition would not be
accepted by the cardinals and the holy
father Is found In the fact that it would
look like acquiescing In an arrangement
expressing satisfaction with the loss of the
temporal power of the pope.
So to the end of his days Plus will
probably live within the Vatican grounds,
able to telephone to his friends in Venice.
for instance, yet unable to look upon Venice
again.
The Vatican gardens as they exist have
often been described among the most
beautiful In the world. yet Mr.. Douglas
Sladen is authority for the statement that
snould Plus x desire to walk even one
mile he would have to follow all of the
rambling paths of the Vatican grounds.
The worlds richest tapestries, some of
Its finest paintings and sculpture, its most
treasured manuscripts are housed at the
Vatican and at ST. Peters. Yet when it
comes to the matter Of liberty of personal
movements, the pope is restricted as per-
haps no man in the world outside of a
prison is restricted. AS boy he wandered
barefooted over the Italian hills but under
the conditions which exist today he is even
forbidden to walk the streets of Rome-a
privilege enjoyed by even the meanest of
the subjects of the kingdom.

Gov. vardaman says he Is not to be
swerved from the determination he reached
a week ago. when he affirmed that the I'M
written law was made for women as we'll
as men, and that he will never permit Mrs
Birdsong to wear stripes.
The petition of the men of Mrs. Bird
songs community is even more bitter than
that of the women. 1t expresses fear of
the future Of society should such "heinous
crimes as that of this disreputable woman
go unpublished" and counsels the governor
not to entertain misguided sympathy on
account of sex.
1t is expected that the inuendoes in the
petitions will rekindle the factional flames,
and that more trouble and possibly blood
shed will result

be showing that Orchard did go to Alaska.
Marion Moore will be a witness for the de-
Tense, and It Is said that he will directly
deny that he carried Orchards letter to
Alaska. The legal aid extended to Orchard
will be explained by general showing that
it has never been the custom of the fedora

May Rally to State.

This is SO patent that the constitutional
democrats, which is a sensible party, will
ultimately rally to the state. The consttu-
tlonal democrats cater to the Jews and
other races In order to get votes and sub
scriptions but three-fourths of that party
are patriotic Russians, and recently re-
jected the Polish project of autonomy. The
members of the Group of Toll are of a
similar mind. Even among the social revo-
lutionists there are few genuine repub-
licans.
Disfranchisement of Aliens.
THE disfranchisement of aliens means
the enfranchisement of Russians. The rec
ords of quorums present in the duma, day
by day, showed that the aliens almost al
ways were in the majority, and were al
ways able to dictate the dumas action.
Thus. the Poles and Mohammedans gen.
orally cast a deciding vote. The Poles
even bargained concessions leading to
autonomy, and threatened, otherwise, to
reject the budget.
Such state Of affairs is intolerable in
the RussiSn empire. The Polish preten-
sions revive the old question of mastery
between the two Slavic races which cannot
exist side by side. Poland is dead forever.
The Russian Poles should say goodbye to
their political Dreams a.
The minister further stated that the cabi-
net had no intention to promulgate any I'M
portant legislation until the assembling Of
the new duma The cabinet, he said, will
submit the new electoral law to the duma
for amendments and ratification.
Spasmodic agrarian disorders, he said, I'M
doubtedly would occur during the sum-
mer. but they will be suppressed ruthlessly
The policy of the cabinet, he continued
aims to enlarge private ownership indefi-
nitely by encouraging the breaking up Of
communes and the purchase of land through
the Peasant Bank.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 2e.-1n an-
swer to various objections leveled at the

following declaration of the position and
considered one of it's most liberal mem
bers:
The Will Of the people is the supreme

Old Electoral Law.

the new electoral law are the fruit of this
conviction
Old Electoral Law.
The emperor, summoned the nation to
choose representatives under the old
electoral law for distinct and tNo-fold
purpose. to examine and ratify the
budget and to draft and enact laws The
second duma had shown itself incapable
or either task. My department introduced
3oo bills, both small and big, during its
sessions which related to definite ma
tionai needs that could not properly be
deferred. Other ministries introduced a
corresponding mass of pressing lcgisla-
ton. out during three months all of these
bilis remained untouched. Instead. the
duma shamefully wasted time discussing
the rights Of man.
For example, 1t devoted a whole ses
sion to denouncing the use Of handouts,
which are used in Great Britain and
America and throughout the world. We
were convinced that all dumas elected under
the electoral law would be equally ready
to talk and unwilling to work.
Obliged to Decree Changes,
Owing to the impossibility of obtaining
the dumas consent to changes in the cleo
toral law. which would give us a business
like third duma, the government itself
was obliged to decree the changes.
The new law favors genuine Russian
STOCK at the expense of aliens and favors
taxpayers at the expense of non taxpayers.
The critics say that the law will promote
artstocracy and olgarchy, but the west
which boasts an advanced institution has
not yet worked out a perfect system Of
representation.
No b.,
in 1S4S The most of it's features are mod
eled on various German precedents.
1T is the distinct purpose of the emperor
to obtain parliament which will respect
property. If his calculations are at fault.
he will not hesitate to dissolve a third duma
or fourth until the result Is achieved
clamor for Rights.
las though their. appetite grew by eating.
the Russian people have had the habit
always of clamoring loudest for additional
rights just after the government has made
substantial concessions. Thus. the uprising
in Moscow in 1905 followed upon the heels
Of the generous October manifesto; thus
occurred several of the episodes in the life
and the assassination Of Alexander II,
called 1.-The Iberator," but Russian mon
archy has shown an unfailing ability to
re-assert itself after eclipses.
Five years ago a consultative assembly
would have been deemed sufficient by public
opinion. but the emperor actually granted
a legislative assembly. But the people
were not appeased. and clamored for a
parliamentary ministry. The duma and the
ministry gradually will learn to cooperate,
but the ministers will remain his majesty's
ministers. There is no likeAnood that there
ever will be a stable majority in the duma
because the diversity of races and the
economic interests are such that monarchy
is the only bulwark against anarchy break
ing up the empire.
