the proof that Bacon wrote Shakespeare s
plays, paid a flying visit to London re-
Gently leaving, for the first time the

This visit was concerned with a new

special Cable 10 me Washinrtnn Herald.

Special Gable TO The washington Herald
St Petersburg, July S-Women are GER
tainly up and doing everywhere, even In
the dominions OF the Car. A very short
time ago the question OF woman's rights
was discussed IN the council of empire
at st. Petersburg. and the council even
outdid the Douma in its zeal for the
weaker sex.
Women in Russia are entitled to take
degrees at certain universities and SO
qualify for and occupy positions in va
rious educational establishments But
heretofore they were deprived OF their
right to a pension on the same footing
as their male colleagues.
In order to do away with this injus-
tice the Douma passed a bill emitting
all female teachers, lecturers, and pro-
fessors to nearly the same pensions, after
the same number Of years, as instructors
OF the other sex receive.
It was expected that this law would
be shelved, but the council, on the con-
trary, received II cordially, commented
on 1t favorably, and there was not a sim
gle voice raised against It. Instead of
contenting itself with the virtual equal
fly which the Douma measure established,
the upper chamber decreed absolute equal
ity of the sexes in this matter and de-
fined the rights of the women with legal
precision. 1t was a day OF triumph
for the friends Of ''woman's rights"

I will eat-and slowing it. Several cases
Of starvation have already occurred.
The misery and want are greater thar
that after the raising In Macedonia In
1903, for the Turkish army has now
reached a very high pitch Of efficiency.
1t is now armed with the latest rifles,
artillery, and machine guns. Instead of
developing their empire. the Turks are
devastating it. The district was cruelty
poor before. Now, for the sake Of
wringing taxes from a set Of ignorant
and poverty-stricken peasants, they have
turned the land into a barren wilder
ness.
Every house is burnt-great columns Of
smoke being visible daily. No haystack,
no fruit tree, no garden or vineyard, how
ever small, is spared. The churches are
plundered and flthily desecrated. A few
unfortunate infirm and aged persons,
who were unable to ny, have been burnt
In their houses.
The situation is urgent. The lives of
the 10000 refugees scattered through the
Montenegrin villages and mountains can
yet be saved If funds are speedily forth
coming. Montenegro-too poor to sup
port her own population-is giving doles
of maize, but can afford only to give for
one month the ration which the relief
committee in Macedonia judged necessary
for a week.

AIRSHIP SCOUTS
PREPARE FOR WAR
Enemy May Be Viewed Safely
in High Flights.
eciL Gable to The Washington Herald

Special Gable to The Washington Herald
| London, July S.-With the slowness
that is characteristic of everything anc
everybody here, the British army coun
Gil has at last realized that in future
wars aerial scouts are bound to become a
very important factor, and regulations
for the organization and employment o1
new air battalion recently raised al
Aldershot have at last been issued.
The army council regards the new unit
as one of the most valuable means OF
obtaining information at the disposal OF
the commander of an army. 1t will not
however. replace other means of ac-
Quiring information, such as cavalry and
agents, but will be used in conjunction
with such services.
The air battalion is to be so distributed
that the units may not only be placed
in the best positions to obtain informa-
ton. but to cooperate with the other
arms, and especially with the cavalry, in
this all-important service.
The manner in which reconnaissance
is to be carried out is to be left generally
to the discretion of those who will ac-
tually undertake the duty. 1t is con-
sidered that there is less risk from
positions behind rather than in front or
on the flank of the enemy when seeking
information, as the enemy's dispositions
will probably have been made with a
view to concealment from observation
from the front and fianks rather than
from the rear, while for fear of damag-
ing his own troops he may hesitate to
fire on vessels sailing over the rear of
his columns. Airships when so placed
may escape fire through being mistaken
for friendly air craft.
View Troops from Sky.
The presence of troops, If in the open,
can be observed in clear weather at an
altitude of 5000 to 5000 feet within a
radius of four to six miles from the
aeroplane or dirigible. When nearer the
earth objects will be rather more easily
distinguished, but are a shorter time in
view, and the area is restricted.
Dirigibles, it is stated, will be exposed
to considerable danger from artillery
fire when lower than 4,5OO feet or within
a range of 5000 yards, and from rifle or
machine-gun fire when at a height of
less than $500 feet or at ranges under
1000 yards.
Against aeroplanes IT is thought that
the fire of field artillery will rarely be
effective at 4,500 feet or at a range of
1900 yards and upward, while reason
able security from the fire of small
arms may be expected when 5000 feet
from the earth or at ranges of 1000 yards
and over.
High speed movements In curves and
frequent changes of direction and ele-
walton are suggested as means to re-
duce the probability of being shot.
Concealment in the clouds, If possible,
when approaching the enemy is also
another useful hint.
For transmission of intelligence from
dirigibles wireless telegraphy signaling,
Or carrier pigeons can be used.

TENANTS DISCOVER
CAUSE FOR RENTS
Increase in Wages Response
BILE for High Prices.

Paris, July s.-There is a union Of ten
ants here, and one Of its objects for ex-
isting is to resist the upward tendency
of high rents. The members of the union
are mainly composed of workmen.
Greatly concerned about the increase In
rentals during the last five years, they
instituted an inquiry, with view to as
certaining the cause. The inquiry has
been finished and the result made known.
1t has been found that the increase in
rentals is due to the increase in wages.
The Figaro is rather satirical about this
inquiry.
There was no need Of an inquiry to
tell US that when house costs more to
build II let's at higher rent" says that
journal "All the same, It is good that
an inquiry which they have made them
selves demonstrates this evident fact to
workmen. Perhaps they will understand,
in pondering It. the illusions and decep-
tions in the promises of .agitators."

Vienna, July S.-Frauletn wardyss, a
poor girl employed as a saleswoman in a
boot and shoe shop in the small town of
KisujszaIlas, in Hungary, has just in
herite1 fortune of $13O, ,OOO'under extraor-
binary circumstances.
Herr Croney, an elderly bachelor, was
among the customers at the shop, and
expressed indignation at the small wages
paid to her. Recently he entered the shop
to make small purchases. and said that
he intended to make Fraulein Wardyss
heiress to all of his property. She
laughed, as she believed him to be badly
off, his clothes being shabby.
Saying It really mean it." he unfasten-
ed his cuff. and laying it on the counter
drew out a fountain pen and wrote a
will. He called two apprentices to sign
it, and having placed it in his pocket left
the shop.
A few minutes later Herr Croney, in
making a violent effort to avoid a motor
car in the roadway. overstrained his
heart and fell dead. Next day Fraulein
wardyss was informed that his estate of
$4,000 was at her disposal.

have been looking for. Furthermore, emf
nent archaeologists are unable to account
for such a structure jetting out from the
solid rock of the cliff on which the castle
Is built
There is no history OF it-it has been
there obviously for from go to 300 years
"Of course, it is totally different from
the boat-shaped wooden abutment OF the
old bridge, which was discovered some
time ago by Mr.. Pirie-Gordon. Although
hoped for the best there, I never really
felt we were on the right track
"I found this new place myself, with
the help Of Joe Ellis, my boatman, after
we had abandoned the original sphere OF
the search, and dismantled the pumps and
the barge"
DR.. Owens explained that the whole
source Of his previous troubles was an
incorrect belief that the old Roman ford
(Which is mentioned so often IN the cI
pher) was above the castle, instead OF by
the castle. Old maps Of the seventeenth
century show that the ford was not in the
place shown by the present ordnance
maps, and these were used for making
the measurements.
When the real position Of the ford was
found, DR.. Owens declared, the measure
ments given in the cipher led accurately
to the spot where he is now searching.

MEMORIAL NEARS
UNWILLING DAY
Statue of Wellington May
Soon Be Completed.
Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, July S-Acter fifty-four years,
the memorial of the Duke Of Wellington
in st. Paurs Cathedral promises to be
unveiled with fitting ceremony at the
end of the present year. This almost in
credible period of time goes to show the
detail of work, the sums of money to
be expended, and matters to be considered
in the erection Of any great national mon
ument.
Alfred Stevens, the great sculptor, who
died in 1875, spent the last nineteen years
of his life at work on the Wellington
monument, which work was taken over
by John Tweed. The monument to-day
stands uncompleted under the third arch
in the north of the nave Of st. PauPs.
Stevens never finished the work which
he started, for various reasons, chief
ly on account of inadequacy of funds
and the number of person whose wishes
he had to consider. The monument in
its unfinished, state was originally placed
in an obscure position in a side chapel
of the cathedral and no one had a
good opportunity to view it until 1892,
when it was moved to the arch where
it now stands and which was the spot
originally assigned to it.
The equestrian figure of the Iron Duke,
the work of Tweed, has recently been
cast, and the pediment is completed. The
memorial is therefore expected to be
completed before the end of coronation
year. But fifty-four years is a long time
to wait for a fitting monument to the
man who won the battle of Waterloo.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Paris, July S.-Of all the women in the
world, rich or poor, high or low. probably
none is more deserving OF pity than the
CLarina, who is still wearing the accursed
crown of the consorts Of the Cars and
the Cars widowed mother.
OF these two women, the most unfor
tunate is Marie Feodorowna, the Dowager
Empress. The Czarina, though changed
from mirth-loving princess to a miser-
able woman, haunted continually by
fears, still has her children's love tc
bear her up, but the other is a lonely
disconsolate widow, bereft of the husband
she adored, separated from her son, and
haunted by fear Of the nihilists. She
wandered from Russia to Denmark, from
Denmark to England, always in fear OF
losing her life, which, after all, has be-
come an almost unbearable burden, but
to which she still clings with the in
stinct OF self-preservation.
The picture which most people have
formed of the mother Of the Cara gen.
tie, womanIy somewhat romantic char
acter-stands in sharp contrast to the
conception of the Russian revolutionists,
who know her as the woman who domi-
mates her sons sickly mind, and who,
with inexorable severity, carries on a
reactionary policy of revenge over the
Liberal movements.
The hatred OF the Russian revolution
lists for her has gradually called forth
in her mind a terror of their bombs, as
strong as that noticed whenever her son
emerges from his prison in the Winter
Palace or Tsarskoe SeIo.
Not even when she spends a few weeks
Of each year in her idyllic little cottage
of Hvidoere, on the peaceful shore OF the
Ceresund, near Copenhagen, does this
dreadful fear leave her mind.

GIRL RELEASED
FROM AN ASYLUM
Relatives Charged with Abb

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

SPECIAL OaDl6 10 Inc washington heEa1Q
Barcelona, July s.-A grave charge OF
seQuestration has been brought before, the
judicial authorities here. The victim is a
young lady named Matilde Andeyro, and
the accusation is being brought by Don
Francisco Andeyro, her cousin.
Senorita Andeyro lived at Grandada
up to the age of fourteen, when her
father, a colonel in the Spanish army,
died in the Philippines, leaving her an
enormous fortune, and appointing two Of
his relatives trustees. According to An
deyro's accusation, the trustees shut up
Matilde in a convent until she was twen-
ty-one years old. Failing to marry her
to the person Of their selection, they then
obtained certificate of lunacy and man
aged to confine her in an asylum.
This unhappy woman remained in differ
ent lunatic asylums at Barcelona for
nearly thirty years, until she was dis
covered by her cousin. The charge is
supported by a certificate Of mental ca
pacIty signed by a celebrated alienist,
DR.. Bravo, whose certificate resulted in
her immediate liberty.
