COUNT TOLSTOY'S DREAD
 OF HIS COMING JUBILEE
He Believes That His Fightieth Birthday
 Should Be Spent In Jail
He Sees In the Approaching Demonstration Revival of the Religious Storm Which Ragged About Him for Years.

St Petersburg, April 19.-Visitors to Tolstoy regards the coming celebra- ton of his eightieth birthday with dis pleasure and fear. The counts latest suggestion is that the most suitable way to commemorate the occasion would be to go to jail. A man named Bodjansky recently imprisoned at Kharkoff on charge of disseminating the counts works wrote to a friend humorously suggesting that Tolstoy would like to join him in prison. When the letter was brought to Tolstoy's at tention. he immediately wrote to Bod jansky accepting the idea:

 "I have long been wondering if any thing could now give me pleasure. This would. Besides perhaps contenting those who so dislike my writings and their disseminators, this would con- tent me in my old. age. and save me from the burden of the jubilee celebra- ton which is before me-
 A titled lady belonging to the Black Hundred wrote to Tolstoy representing him for giving his consent to the jubi- lee celebration on the ground that he was an excommunicated man. The fnlinNUfnp- tn ar-lrc h,- Tnlg on reading the letter:

It is the fact that that these feelings are based upon the question of religion. and appear to be founded in faith, that makes it the more regrettable and disturbing for me. I may disagree with certain dog matic opinions and autocratic inter- pretations of theological matters. but all men, and above all. orthodox be- lievers. are near and dear to me. If the lady who writes to me is right. even in the smallest degree. certainly shall not wish for any jubilee celebra- tions. I do not wish that wrath and disunion shall be surging about me. and the mere idea that the celebrations may give pleasure to the unbelieving and pain to the faithful fills me with horror.

Rome, April 19.-An Italian squadron under command of Admiral Grenet. consisting of eleven war ships carrying 5095 men will set out for the purpose of making a demonstration in Turkish waters. The objective point will be Asia Minor. It has been decided, if deemed necessary. to occupy small island off the coast but it is hoped that Turkey may see the error of its way. and give full satisfaction SO that mere energetic measures may be avoid ed.
 The difficulty between the two na- tions arises out of the refusal of the Turkish government to permit the in stallation of Italian postoffices in Turkish territory while other foreign nations are granted that privilege. Considera ble irritation is felt also on account of the murder of an Italian missionary in Tripoli and the persecu- tion by Ottomans of natives who have sold goods to Italians. Great satisfac- tion is felt here and it is said that all powers have approved Italy's decision to resort to force if necessary.
 It was learned tonight that eight de- stroyers will join the squadron bring ing the number of men in the fleet up to 1000 with about 800 big guns. It is said the demonstration will begin on Thursday.

TWO ROYAL SS1tRS
 WILL BE TOGETHER
Russian Dowsger Empress Will Reside in London in Spite of Edwards Wishes.

London April 19.-Persuaded by her sister. Queen Alexandria, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorowna of Russia is said to have decided to make Lon don her permanent home. The two sisters have been inseparable during the whole visit of the empress and the companionship of her favorite sister has had a remarkable effect upon Queen Alexandra.
 While of late apt to be irritable and easily excited the queen has during the last few weeks been like d child in her enjoyment of everything and has been busy planning excursions and sight seeing That the presence of the dowager empress in London is sure to annoy King Edward. who has never been able to agree with his strong minded sister-in-law. does not seem to worry Queen Alexandra who has spent considerable time trying to find a suitable residence for the mother of the cZar.
 Crewe House in Curzon street is in the market but it is more likely that the empress will choose Devonshire House the great Ducal mansion in Picadilly. which is surrounded by q very large garden and courtyard and completely isolated from all surround- ing buildings. Part of. each summer the two royal sisters will spend togeth- CT in Denmark. living in simple style in their charming villa "Hvidoere" on the beautiful shore of the sound be- tween Copenhagen and Elsimore, and within easy reach of the summer res idence of their brother King Frederick Of Denmark.

A DOMESTIC
 DIFFICULTY Even In the We'll Regulated kdiSer'S Family
The Crown Prince Resents Wilhelm's Criticism of His Conduct.

Berlin. April 19.-A serious quarrel which threatens to develop into d per manent arrangement took place be- tween the kaiser and his oldest son Crown Prince Wilhelm immediately before the formers departure for the island of Corfu, and those who are in a position to know assert that not a single letter has passed between fath- CT and son since then.
 The quarrel arose from the crown princes democratic free and easy man. ners to which the kaiser has always objected, because he thinks it neces- sary for a prince of royalty and espe- cially for a future kaiser to keep aloof from the common people.
 While at St. Moritz, the crown prince and his young wife, whose manners are as democratic as his, indulged in all kinds of winter sports and struck up acquaintances with several young tourists without rank or titles They also allowed newspaper photographers to take a number of snapshots of them while they enjoyed the sport just as might any ordinary young couple off on vacation.
 These snapshots which were printed in a number of European and Ameri- can papers made the kaiser furious and when the young people returned to Berlin he delivered very severe cur tain lecture to them.
 The crown prince. who is as hot headed as his imperial father, lost his temper completely, and declared that he was the master of his own actions and would do just as he pleased, when ever he was outside German territory.
 The kaiser then is said to have said that he would never be allowed to leave Germany again. whereupon the crown prince declared that he had planned d trip to England and would go with or without his fathers consent.
 From that day until the kaiser left the two did not speak. but apparently the kaiser has lost the battle for Crown Prince Wilhelm has arranged all details for his visit to England and is more determined than ever not to let anybody interfere with his personal affairs.

Paris. Apprh 19.-France and Port ugal have adopted a point scheme for stamping out cannibalism in their Ar rican possessions. In consequence of the discovery that the bodies of na- tives killed during the fighting of the Portuguese troops were eaten by the survivors. a conference has been held between the French minister here and the Portuguese minister for foreign af- fairs.
 It was agreed that the two countries should cooperate to exterm1nate can nibalism This is to be accomplished by capturing all the children belonging to the cannibals and handing them over to the more civilized tribes. In this way it is hoped to eXtinguish can nibalism without destroying the native races.
