PLUVIOsE HARD TO RAISE
May Take Eleven Days to Re
cover Lost Submarine.
BY Cable to The Tr,bune.J


Paris, May 2S.-Admiral de Ia Peyrere
Minister of Marine. In conversation TO-
day. said that eight days, and perhaps
eleven. must elapse before the submarine
Pluviose can be raised Admiral Beiiue'
who had charge Of raising the Lutih'
which sank off Biserta in 1906. says that
the raising Of the Pluviose, submarine
of $50 tons. in the swift, deep running
tides of the Channel is hundredfoid
more difficult than getting the little
Lutin to the surface In the calm. clear
water of the Mediterranean
At the Ministry Of Marine great conf
dence prevails in the utility OF sub
marines, and orders will be given for
the construction of another sister Vessei
to the Pluviose, which was one OF the
twelve boats of the submersible class
built at Cherbourg in the last three
years

LOWER BRITISH BIRTH RATE
Further Decline Shown by Figures for
England and Wales.

London. May 20.-In the Registrar Cen
erals return for the first quarter OF 1910
further decline is recorded in the birth
rate in England and Wales. The annual
rate in the three months was as low as
24s per thousand Of the population. or 81
below the average for the corresponding
period of the ten preceding years This
is the lowest figure for any first quarter
since civil registration was established.
In the same period OF 1893 the rate was
26 per thousand.
Deaths were In the proportion of 153 an
nually per thousand OF the population. This
in turn Is the lowest rate ever recorded for
this period of the year, and is per thou
sand below the average for the ten preced-
ing March quarters. Among the counties
the lowest rates recorded were In Middle
sex, Essex and Kent-112, 12.7 and 1874. re-
spectively-and the highest in Denbigh
09g. Carmarthen Q9.D. Monmouth Qs.D
and Oxford Q1S.
In regard to the large towns, certain
of the extra metropolitan areas again
showed the lowest figures. the rates for
Hornsey. WIlesden and East Ham being
respectively S6. 9.6 and 9.8 Swansea had
the highest rate, with 21.6, followed by

In the United Kingdom 277, 500 births and
1886 deaths were registered during the
three months. The natural increase OF

THE LIBERALS ANXIOUS
Fears of Unionist Victory at the
Next Elections.
GUARANTEES NOT LIKELY
Kings Attitude - Perfunctory
Work Before Parliament
Oath May Be Changed.
rsv Cable to The Trihune.l

London, May 2S-Carping Radicals are
laynenting the absence of the Prime Min
lister on a yachting cruise, by which the
government is left without leadership
next month. They assert that strong
hand is needed at the helm TO keep the
ship off the rocks. and that there are
already signs Of mutinous temper
among the coalition groups. This Is
mortal and his health has been impaired
by the racking anxieties OF the last SIX
months. He needs as long holiday as
possible Moreover. the first business
before Parliament viii be more or less
perfunctory, since 1T is required py the
opening of the new reign. The civil
list and the regency bills will be nom
controversies. and. while the Kings
declaration regarding the Protestant be-
lief can be deferred until the coronation.
there is a general agreement among men
OF all parties that the oath ought 10
be modified as soon as possible ano
what is offensive to Catholics and the
Vatican be deleted. What can now be
done with little resistance in response
TO the Kings wishes may become
matter of bitter controversy If allowed
TO drag along with Coronation Year
The real cause of depression among
the Liberal members of Parliament is
the conviction that the situation mas
changed for the worse since King Ed
wards death. A well Informed Radical
has told The Tribune's correspondent:
King George. If approached on the
question of guarantees, Will refuse TO
entertain the idea of creating 800 peers.
When Mr.. Asquith resigns office the
nation will understand what has hap
pened, and when Mr.. Balfour appeals
70 the country there will be great
wave Of loyalty and the Unionists will
have decisive majority
Apprehension Of coming defeat has
taken the place Of Liberal confidence
that a general election could not ma
teriaily alter the relations Of the parties.
There is now a disposition 20 allow the
government to arrange truce with the
Conservatives for the remainder of the
year. but rohn Redmonds consent must
first be ol-.ained to the postponement Of
the veto issue.
One thing is fairly certain-there will
be no crisis over the veto until the civil
list and the regency bills are enacted
and a new finance bill is produced. The
budget is expected TO remove pauper
disqualification for old age pensions, and
this will require the REIMBURSEMENT of
burdens between the Treasury and the
Local Government Board. Revision Of
the spirit duties is also bound up with
the finance bill, and the coalition groups
are likely TO wrangle over Ii and may
drag the government down. The Union
lists, while in no haste 10 force general
election when time is on their side, are
beginning TO forecast a dissolution of
Parliament either in the autumn or in
January.

CHINESE AGAINST loan
Gentry and Leaders Opposed to
HankoW Railroad Plans.
PROTEST SIGNED IN BLOOD
American Military Attache Re-
ports That Situation In HUI
Nan Is Improving.

Picking. Nav S.-The opposition or the
oontrv and other leaders In HUMAN and
Ho-Nan provinces TO the acceptance py
the Chinese government OF the HanKo"-
Sze-Chuen Railway loan has not oiHin-
ished On the contrary, the anti-foreign
sentiment regarding this particular subject
is becoming more pronounced.
This extremely hostile feeling was ex-
pressed In a startling manner recently
President Stu Chi-Tchang Of the Board OF
Communications received letter from the
leader OF the opposition In Human prov
ince protesting against the conclusion OF
the loan. The communication was written
in the blood OF the writer's severed nnger.
During the negotiations between the
financial groups Of the United States, Great
Britain, Germany and France there were
occasional manifestations against the gov
eminent in the two provinces, and the
trouble became acute few weeks before
the loan agreement was signed in Paris by
the members OF the international banking
syndicate
IL is generally believed that the violence
organized by the gentry and carried out
by the natives at Chang-Sha, the capital
of HUMAN, was influenced to consider
able degree by opposition to the acceptance
by China OF foreign capltaI ana AoiSiSh
direction in the construction Of the Han
kow railroad line. which influential per-
sonages in the province wish to have built,
if at all, with Chinese capital
When the agreement was reached oy
the promoters at the French capital doubt
was expressed whether China, In view or
the native protests, would be as willing TO
conclude the contract as the government
was year. ago, when II was anxious that
the American fnanciers should be allowed
to participate lest otherwise international
complications jeopardize the success of the
loan. The present attitude of the central
authorities has not been made known.
Much uneasiness was felt here during the
outbreaks at Chang-Sha and other nearby
points, and In order to get q definite knowl-
edge OF the situation the American Min
ister Mr. Calhoun, dispatched Captain j.
H. Reeves, military attache at the Ameri-
can Legation on a tour Of investigation
Captain Reeves visited HUMAN province,
and has just returned here. He reports
that the situation generally in the province
is encourag ing. The government troops
the captain says, are In control of the
inland points, at which the riots OF the
natives occur.

LONDON RESTAURANT LOSS
Heavy Reduction in Trade on Account
of National Mourning

London. May 21.-The chief London res
taurants have suffered very severely OWNS,
TO the national misfortune. and they are
feeling the loss in their trade more par
ticularly because this month Is always as
ISOLATED with the heavy press of regimentaI
and institution dinners. which have all
been cancelled.
People who have been in the habit Of
dining out have not cared. in view OF the
mournful circumstances, to be seen in pub
lie. and most evenings IN the fashionable
restaurants have presented a deserted spec
taele, emphasized by the fact that the
bands have not been playing and there
have been no vocalists. One we'll known
restaurant which can look forward reason
ably to about twenty regimental dinners
during the month OF May calculates the
loss on the month at several thousands of
pounds. Some of these dinners. including
the incidental business they brought TO the
hotels. often meant revenue of at least
EGO each to the restaurant takings.
There has. however. been a tremendous
influx Of foreieners-French German.
American and colonial visitors-who are
practically keeping the restaurants alive
for the time being. This invasion OF Lon
don is explained by the desire TO witness
the funeral procession and. TO some ex-
tent. the Anglo-Japanese exhibition has
brought much needed business TO the res
taurants. but it has 10 be confessed that
they hardly compensate for the absence OF
the regular diners. who usually brought
parties with them.
! Inquiry goes to show that the fashionable
restaurants do not expect the normal pat
ronase 10 be extended until Well in the
half-moUrning period. After the funeral
there will be hurried exit OF society peo-
pie TO the Continent. and this means that
the restaurants must continue 20 suffer.
The American season. which Is sucls a
profitable one TO the restaurants. will also
scarcely. be as notable as usual

SHELVING KITCHENER
Protests Against His Appoint
mens to Malta Station.
fBy Cable TO The Tribune. ]

BY cable TO me 1fipune-J
London. May 2S.-Lord Kitchener's
future is the subject Of persistent curl
osity. A sinecure was created for the
Duke OF Connaught when he was weary
Of the futile attempt to dignity the Of
fee of inspector general OF the forces
within the kingdom. and when he aban-
doned his usless post at Malta in dis
gust. il was held in reserve for Lord
Kitchener with the high sounding title
Of High Commissioner in the Mediter-
ranean.
Now that the time Is approaching for
Lord Kitchener's departure for Malta,
there are public protests against wasting
the services of the best organizer In the
British army as a figurehead in re-
mote post. A revival of the office OF
commander in chief is not favored, but
r, B. Haldane, Secretary for War, is
urged to make him the first and most
important member of the Army Council
with the special duty of inspecting the
territorial forces If that were done,
he would combine the functions of chief
Of staff for preparations for war and
inspector general Of the army and
home guards on a peace footing. He is
too efficient and powerful a soldier to
be safely employed at headquarters when
the army is under civil administration
Consequently he will be dispatched to
Malta and kept out of the way, while
nd pifV
employed in the Army Council in COM
pliance with the recommendations Of the
Esher Commission. A man of genius is
not wanted when mediocrities are
muddling along in their own way

Among the passengers who arrived yes

THE PARIS B0URSE QUIET
Rubber Shares Higher-Good
Iron and Steel Trade.
IBy Cable to The Tribune.

BY Cabie 10 Inc IrlDuHe'I
Paris, May 2S.-Complete absence OF
professional speculation is the feature
of the Bourse. The only business re-
corded is due to the placing Of capital
for investment in government bonds and
conservative home industrials and
rise in rubber enterprises in
CeyIon, in which several French finan-
ciers have large interests.
Farmers are more hopeful. now that
fine weather has set in. but both wheat
and the vines are backward. and four
weeks Of fine weather are necessary to
insure an average harvest and vintage.
The iron and steel trades are very
brisk, owing to the large orders from
French railroads for rolling stock, and
also exceptionally heavy orders for
heavy ammunition for France and for
South America.
