Count Cassini, the Ilu!an ambassador, ar.d Mr. T ik ihira, th Japanese minister, called tt parab-ly upon Secretary Hay today to talk over th'- Manehurian situation.

They paid a visit to the Jit. Vernon home to-day. XXX The bill supported by a number of Southern Republican representatives, proposing a strong federal election law against intimidation, ballot-box fraud.-, etc., was considered to-day by the House enmmlttie on ejection of President ;tnl Vice Pre-.-ident. 2Ie?n. TJartholdt, of Ml.-.-ouii, and Gib?on, of Tennes.-'-", who have assisted in framing the proposed bill, were beard en fhe -xt nt of election Irn j-ularitb-; in tin ir States and elsewhere in the South. They explained the alleged parti.san.hip of election boards r.s made us by the Governors, and also cited recent dee!-!or:s of the courts, which i-howed, they contended, that the judieial branch took a rather 1 : nient.view f ballotbox irregularities. Mr. Gibson said it was bad crnugh to deny the franchise to the negro, but when the white man was also denied the franchise the situation became Intolerable This drew a spirited rejoinder from Repres I'tativo . Sulloway, cf New Hampshire, who maintained that blank and white alike were entitled to protection in exercising the franchise. Air. Gibson referred to the Missouri and ' Tennessee state laws, which are similar to the Goebel iaw in Kentucky, providing that the Governor of the State shall' appoint three election eomnd.-sioners in each county, who are empowered to select the election oi;inlal3 in the county. Mr. Gibson ttated that the Governor of his State appointed Democrats on every board in the State, with the exception of his county, where he appointed two Democrats and a Republican who was d. af and dumb and paralyzed. Tins Republican was kept on the board six years and finally died. All of these arguments will be u.-ed before the Republican caucus on Monday night in opposition to the Southern reduction bill. XXX A committee representing the Merchants and Manufacturers' Roard of Trade of New York city, composed of 1 C. Shayne, president. L. G. Ketchum and Alexander R. Smith, called on President Roosevelt today and presented resolutions passed by that body on the A h inst. regarding tho personal baggage law. After reciting that their organization was instrumental in securing the personal baggage law, and that Its object was to protect merchants dealing In Important commcditie s, the resolutions "most emphatically protest against the conduct of the inspectors complained of at the docks, in so far as they- are obnoxious and unnecessarily harsh, and we urge upon the oilicials charged with the administration of tins law the abatement of those obnoxious practices, and declare ourselves to most heartily co-operate with any and everybody joining in this protest." XXX Attorney General Knox to-day gave an nil-day hearing in the case of Judge Noyes,

of Alaska, who wa recently convicted of contempt by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco. Jiu'-e Noyei was rejp. sented by Mr. McLaughlin, of St. Raul, and Mr. Ib-nh-y, of San Francisco. The complainants were represented by Charles Lane, and the Wild Goose Mining (jonipany by Mr. Ralston ar.d Mr. Rriws.t-:-r. This mining company was the defendant in the Am 11 creek claims, out ef which most of the litigation in the Noyes case arose. Th object of the hearing is to determine the j rupri-ty of removing Ju.Ige Noyc3 from the Norn.- di.-trict jadge.-.i".;p, and Is in no sense a review of the action of the San Francisco court. Couns 1 repn sentlrg the- inter , t opposed to Judse Noyes ask for his removal upon the ground of incompetency and inju.Ik-i.il Conduct. The attorn y general's findings probably will be submitted to the President within the next week or two.

o Material Amendment Mndc by the Sonnte Committee. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The House bill, making the Census Rureau permanent, today received final consideration at the hands of the committee on ctnsu?. Senator Quarlcs was authorized to report the bill cn Monday and to make an effort to secure Immediate consdderation of it. The till wa3 not materially changed. No amendment was made looking to the requirement that the present clerical force of the Census Ottice should take an examination before being placed within the classilied ieric-, but on the contrary, the committee recommends there shall be an explicit declaration that all the members of this force who are on the rolls at the pFsagu of the act shall be included in the classified service, "without further examination." The section of the bill relating to the civilservice also excepts supervisors, enumerators and special agents from its icquirernents. but th-re is an explicit provL-frm that in the future all- new appointments to the clerical force of the o.'hce rhall undergo the civi!-.ervice examination. As amended, the bill provides for four instead of three chief statisticians and also for four instead of three expert chiefs of divisions. Th? director's salary is raised from $0. "J to $7,5o per annum. The fact was brought out in the hearings on the bill that there- are now about one thousand persons employed in the clerical lorce of the otace who would be legislated into the classified serice if the bill should immediately become a law.

ATI-AXAUCIUST RILL OPPOSED.

NEW YORK. Feb. 0. Fire bre out

shortly after midnight in the car sheds at Paterson, X. J., and the flames, driven by a brisk wind, spread to the surrounding buildings. At this hour it seems as though the fire is getting beyond control. The First Baptist Church Is burning and it Is feared the loss will be enormous though even an approximate estimate now Is impossible. 3 a. m. At this hour the Baptist Church has been gutted. The flames have started from a dozen places In the vicinity and the wind is adding to the fury of the flames. The police report no fatalities so far. The ofllce of the Paterson Guardian is burning and that of the Call is threatened. The electric lighting system is disabled and the town is In darkness. Assistance has been asked from nearby towns, and there is a panic among the citizens. The old City Hall, one of the most ancient structures in Paterson, Is doomed. The damage will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.' At this time the firemen have no control of the fire.

Lanhnm AVouId Not Protect Olliclnls More Than Other Citizens. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 Representative Lanham, of Texas, Democratic member of the House judiciary committee, to-day presented a minority report on the bill for the protection of tho President against assault and conspiracy. While agreeing with the idea that the United States should not be made an asylum for anarchy and those who oppose organized government, yet he dissented from giving the President protection not accorded to other citizens. As to thl3 he said: "I deny the proposition that one honest and law-abiding man's life is any more sacred than that of another. Any ctlicer of cur government is but the servant of the people and 'The servant cannot be

greater than his lord. The holding of or j possession of oiticu does not of itself ren- ; der any man impeccable or immune from j human frailties and imperfections. Public j men among us can do wrong. There iss no , such thing as royalty or titled nobility or j

hereditary prerogative in the Lnited States. With us there are no artificial distinctions and one good man is as good as another and as much sanctity surrounds the life of one as it dees f another. The murder of the humblest citizen of the land is just as heinou, just as felonious, as that of the greatest or most distinguished. Murder is murder upon whomsoever indicted, and a human life is a human life by whomsoever enjoyed. The life of the highest officer in the country, or that of any ambassador of a foreign government, is no more precious in the sight of God and republican men than is that of the humblest and most insignificant resident of our great Republic." Mr. Lanham points out that Rooth, Guiteau and Czolgocz. presidential assassins, have met death. He holds also that the States should deal with the subject and that this federal law probably w-idu magnify the Importance of assassination in the distempered fancy of thosj seeking to destroy rulers.

Six Firemen Injnred. NEW YORK, Feb. 9. The Shadbolt Manufacturing Company's factory in Brooklyn is in ruins this morning. The concern manufactured carriages and automobile trucks. The fire was discovered soon after midnight and within an hour the walls fell in. In the stabler were eighteen horses and these were burned. The loss to the Shadbolt .Company is estimated at $200,CruO. One floor of the building was leased to J. K. Parker &- Co, manufacturers of waists. Tho loss to this firm is placed at Jli.OC-0.

Ills Critics ' Have Misled the Chief Point of His Offen di 11 k. New York Priss. All of Mr. Kipling's critics have now been heard from, we believe, in defense of their Island and in assault upon his islanelers. From the most vividly yellow of dailies to the dullest drab of Saturday afternoon weeklies the English press has had its Hing at the man who revived a somewhat waning celebrity with the application of the phrase "Uanneled fdbis and muddled oafs" to the votaries of Britain's favorite sports. Yet, unless we have missed it, there has been nowhere the most obvious possible of responses made to the gravamen of the poet's accusation the charge of decadence. That is contained specifically in the lines: "AVhat is your boasting worth If ye grudge a year of service to the lordliest line on earth? Ancient, effortless, ordered, cycle on cycle setLife so long untroubled that yo who inherit forget It was not made with the mountains; It Is not one with the deep. Men, not gods, devised it. Men, not gods, must keep." Men devised it, indeed, but when the poet comes to argue, as he does impliedly, that they so devised by giving themselves freely to military service, he most singularly misreads tho whole of modern English history. There never was a British War Office since the elder Pitt's day which did not stand in the same neeel of a poetic recruiting sergeant as Lord Salisbury's did before Mr. Kipling volunteered for the duty. Those casually acquainted with English literature will recall Tennyson's resonant elrummlng for the volunteer rifieman movement of forty-odd years ago. That another laureate was-exercised in the same manner we have recently had interesting proof in the publication of the letters of Robert Southey. Thus did the English poet who, in militant Toryism though nothing else, was the Kipling of his time, anguish his soul for his country when engaged in a far more protracted, and for years less successful, foreign war than that now being waged in South Africa. It was in 1S0J that he wrote to a friend of the Peninsular campaign: "Vet, by the living God, an able minister might in six months time hang up Bonaparte for the Spanish crows to feed upon, and reduce France within her ancient limits, by sending our whole military force into Spain. No man who knows what the French are, what the Spaniards are and what the English are, can doubt this. Now is the time to put out this fire which has ravaged Europe, now when we can fairly get at it. Y'et when we should be playing all our engines upon it. we do nothing more than send the maids to empty their chamber pots there. On such an occasion as this England might spare ISO.wjO men, for it Is as much our own cause as if it were upon our own ground. I would land 100,000 of them behind Bonaparte, seize the passes and shut him in SaIn, and send the rest to tii;ht him there." His complaint was of the government, not of the people. Yet it was the same complaint. The Perceval Ministry, lukewarm and lnetllcknt as it was, had no liO.nun to send to Spain. Its immediate successor had not 5o.0.x) to send to Belgium to win Waterloo. Its predecessors of a generation before had to hire Hessians to send to America. All through the Napoleonic wars the same method had to be pursued of paying alien soldiers, of subsidizing foreign governments. The same dearth of recruits paralyzed British arms in the Crirm a. Thn British have always been, as we

1 so frc-eiu-ontly say of ourselves, "a warlike

bat not a military peop:e." But no one up to Mr. Killing's time has ever suggested cricket and football a? the causes of this national shortcoming, if shortcoming it is. In a word, "men devised" the British empire by supplementing the excellent work of the sailor an 1 the trader with the same faulty military methods by which thev are now trying to "keep" it. Mr. Kipling's country ia trng on in tho same old way, and it is a litt'e strange, we think, that none of Mr. Kiplings countrymen should huve noted It.

1'uiilnliment of Criminals. Pittsburg" Chronicle-Telegraph. A demand for the prompt and adequate puiii; hn.eiit of criminals has been growing ia '.his comn. unity for some time. The ese ... of th Biduies has vastly strengthened It. Tills demand is not a thirst for blood or a desire for vengeance. It is a rifr3tition of the n&ht of society to pro

tection against Its enemies. It Is a protest against the system that has grown up cf throwing all sorts of obstacles in the way of the administration of justice. It Is an expression of dirgust at the manner In which technicalities Impose heavy burdens cn the taxpayers and enable criminals to escape their Just deserts. The machinery of the law becomes too complicated when It clogs the wheels of Justice. The Pardon Board should not resolve itself into a court of appeals and retry every case that the criminal courts have parsed upon, and the Governor should not grant a respite because some mysterious woman makes a plea for clemency. Mercy to desperate criminals Is cruelty to innocent people. AVhat 13 needed in Pennsylvania Is not merely punishment to fit the crime, but a prompt and inevitable inndction of that punishment.

WAS BENT ON MURDER

JAMES DAVIDSOX, FORMERLY OF LOGAASPOIIT, LAD.,

Fntnlly Shoots Ills AVIfe, AVonnd Two Other Persons mid I Laid Out Himself vrltU a Ball Rat.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8. James Davidson fatally shot his wife, Flora Davidson, tonight, seriously wounding his father-in-iaw and was then beaten into insensibility with a baseball bat by the wounded broth-in-law. Davidson's wife left him recently and was living with her mother and father at No. 7410 Adams avenue. To-night Davidson gained admission to the house by a stratagem and immediately shot his wife four times. He then shot his wife's father, Peter M. Roberts, Inflicting a wound In the forearm. Roberts's son Edward was shot in the shoulder. Davidson then went into a side room to reload his revolver, saying he would return and finish them all. As soon as he emergeel young Roberts attacked him with a baseball bat. Davidson is now In the hospital and may not live until morning, lie is a printer. Mrs. Davidson was married to Davidson twelve years ago, and lived with him at Logansport, Ind., until five weeks ago, when he quarreled with her and left her because of alleged jealousy. . Tho woman, with her three children, then returned to her father's home here, and since then had heard nothing of her husband until last night.

MONTANA'S GIANT.

Youth Acnrly Eight Feet In Height und Still CirovimrGreat Falls Special to Butte Intermountains. Edward Beauprc, the "Montana Giant," arrived in this city last night, lie is twentyone years of age, seven feet ten and onehalf Inches in height and weighs ZS1 pcunels. The one surprising thins In connection with him Is the fact that a "Barnum" never before discovered him and brought him before the public. This, however, is undoubtedly due to the obscurity of his birthplace and also to the fact that he has never before been within the confines of any place larger than a village, lie was born in 1SS1, in a little cabin at AVillow Bunch, 100 miles north of Glasgow, Just across the border in Canadian territory. He is of French descent and speaks but little English. He grew up on the ranch, and claims that during his younger days he rode the range. At the age of twelve, however, he began to grow abnormally, and in dhree years was so largo that he could not find accommodation on an ordinary range horte, and gave up his chosen' occupation. When sixteen years of age lie was able to do the work of an average grown man, and now it is said that he can with ease pick up a HAl-pound horse and carry it off. He says that he has no idea of his strength, as he has never tested it to its capacity, though he admits that to lift a ton is within his power. Besides being of enormous height, the "Mountana Uiant" is e-qually proportioned in every other particular. His head measures -Jv inches around his chest 54 inches, his hips til inches and his neck 21 inches. His foot is 11 inches in length, requiring a 22 shoe, and his hand measures 11 inches from base of thumb to tip of middle linger. Though the physicians say that Beaupre is not yet through growing, he is at tiiis time, probably, the tallest man in existence. Within the past two years he says he has grown two inches, and if he continues to increase in height at this rate before 1D0Ü dawns lie will be eight feet in height. He Is the son of averageel sized people, his father, who was a Frenchman, beirg live feet eight inches in height, and weighing ltW pounds. His mother was live feet four inches in height and balanced the scales at 130. There are three other children in the family, and one. a boy of ten years, Is over live feet in height. EARTHQUAKE C03IIXG.

According to Eddy's Seismograph One Is Overdue. New York Mail and Express. William A. Eddy, the kite expert and inventor of the seismograph, believes that a severe earthquake will soon be felt in this city. "Once in every ten or fifteen years a serious seismic disturbance occurs in this pa..t of the globe," said Mr. Eddy to-day. "The Eastern States were visited by a severe earthquake in 1ST1 and In 1SS1. Another is due. in fact is overelue, now. "The recent shocks felt in Mexico, Saratoga and the central West have drawn a circle of contraction in the earth's surface around us, and we may expect our turn at any moment." For seven days in his Bayonne home he has had two seismographs in readiness to take the record of any vibration whatever caused by a disturbance in the earth's surface, and last night he installed a third. By these, he declared to-day, he hopes to prove that the earth actually breathes. That is, that it has definite respirations at stated intervals, when whole continents and oceans rise and fall in obedience to a constant law. "Yes, the theory undoubtedly appears startling," said he in speaking of his plans, "but I am almost sure of proving that my belief has a basis in fact. During the last week my seismograph has shown that it Is capable of recording a disturbance in the earth's surface 1,000 miles away. By careful experiment I hope to have the instruments attain such delicacy that they will record the slightest vibration." A tine piece of string, a three-ounce weight and tho point of a needle seem rather humble instruments to solve a secret that has been hidden from man for thousands of years. But a single device made of these familiar utilities constitutes the most delicate of the seismographs of the inventor. Around a crossbeam placed on the second floor of Mr. Eddy's home is wound a line string, forming an eighteen-foot pendulum. One end of this string is fastened to a sash nailed to the iloor. Frem the oiiifr is suspended a cast-iron plummet "bob," shaped like a boy's top and weighing three ounces. At the point of the "bob" is inserted a needle with a dull point. This just touches a sheet of writing paper covered with lampblack. The other two Seismographs have pendulums of steel fastened by a lever to a steel mast. One has a three-foot bar, to which is attached a needle which marks a vibration on plate glass covered with lampblack. From the other, which ha a four-fuot bar, a pencil dangles which marks on a sheet of paper. "The slightest vibration in the earth's surface will sat these ftismographs in motion." explained Mr. Eddy. "So delicate are they that even the Park-avenue explosion caused them to oscillate. So far as I have been able to reckon a vibration of l-lou of an inch will cause the nceiile of the IS-lnch instrument to move three-eights of an inch. "1 am fully persuaded that many Flight earthquakes occur which pass entirely unnoticed. I remember ten years ago I was in a Broad-street skyscraper anil distinctly felt the building tremble. Investigation showed that the motion could not have come from anything but a seismic disturbance. Yet, as 1 had thn no instruments such as I have now, I ?aid nothing about the Viatter. as I ould not prove that an earthquake had e.ccurred. 1 am fully satisfied, however, that had I then perfected one of my seismographs the shock would have been recorded,"

PRINCE IS A LUTHERAN

HIS GERMAN IIIGUXESS 31 AY ATTEXD A NEAV YUU1C CHURCH.

Preparations for the Reception of the Royal A'Isitor Invitations to the Opera.

Sreclal to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK, Feb. 8. Prince Henry of Prussia, who has been invited to attend St. James Lutheran Church, New York, during his itay is a member of the seconel largest Lutheran parish in Berlin, and, like Lis brother, the Emperor, takes an active interest in religious matters. The llohenzollerns are Lutherans, and belong to the Prussian State Church. So far as government goes this church includes the reformed bodies, which correspond to the German and Dutch Reformed bodies in this country. There are in Germany fully ten times as many Lutheran churches as Reformed ones. The control of German Protestant churches is in the hands of the Consistory, which 13 mainly judicial in its functions, but possesses some executive power. All German churches, Including the State Church, are quite independent in the matter of doctrine, but the one in Berlin to which the prince belongs is classed as conservative in theology. The Prussian State Church has In this country a small independent synod, with headquarters in St. Louis. It ulldiates with no other Lutheran body in America, and has really no legal or doctrinal relation with the parent body in Germany. Sixty-tive per cent, of the German population is Protestant, 3J per cent. Roman Catholic and the rest Jews and various sects. Berlin is a strong Lutheran center, as Cologne and Strasburg are strong Roman Catholic ones. The prince's Berlin parish has for pastor a famous ecclesiastic, whose royal parishioners are always approachable and generous givers. Tho Emperor gives regularly to missions, especially to those in China, but the prince lias never gone out of his way to express preference in the matter of application of his benevolence. No one knows yet whether he will attend divine services while in this country, but it is expected that he will do so, as he usually does when at home. PREACH HILARY'S TOIR.

Correspondents Cannot Re Accommodated on the Train. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The President's delegates for the entertainment of Prince Henry have been overwhelmed with applications from the principal newspapers of the country seeking accommodations for their representatives at the launching of the Meteor and also on the special train on which Prince Henry will Journey through the country. The German embassy also has been in receipt of similar communications; hence it has been thought proper to issue a statement on the subject, which takes the form of a letter, one of many others, written In response to an application from one of the great journals of the country. In substance this letter states that while It would be gratifying to the delegates if the individual newspapers of the country could be represented as they desire on thee occasions, it has been founel impossible to comply with their applications for the purely physical reason that no train could be made up to accommodate all of the applicants and yet make schedule time, and it is of course improper to discriminate as between the newspapers. By economising space cn the train it has been possible to provide six places, three for representatives of the American press associations and three for corresponelents of newspapers published in Germany, who will be de. ignated by the German ambassador. The de-legates are confident that the newspapers will thus be able to obtain all the news of the trip without favoritism. As to the launch at Shooter's Island, Mr. Wallace Downey, head of the shipbuilding firm and located at No. 12 Broadway. NewYork city, has undertaken to provide accommodations far newspapers which make application to him directly. In Prince Henry's box will sit Mayor Low. the prince and suite. Itaron Von Holleben, and, if the President remain?, Mr. Eorsevelt and the Cabinet members. One hundred ?eats were allotted to Mayor Low for distribution, and these will probably go to the city ofheial committees and others oinclally connected with the prince's reception. On thousand seats have been reserved by the citizens' committee for distribution. These will go to members of the committee and other?, but each mu.t pay for Ids own seat. All other seats will be offered for sale to the general public. LaTtnchin&r In vitnt Ioiim. NEW YORK. Feb. 8.

AA'OMEX AND CRIMINALS.

Vnftolvahle Problem In Psychology Involved In a Recent Episode. Brooklyn Eagle. The escape of two desperate convicts from a Pittsburg prison, with the connivance and assistance of a woman, is another instance of the remarkable fascination which lawbreakers frequently exorcise over those whose moral nature, finer than that of mere men, naturally revolts against crime. According to the story now at hand, the wife of the warden furnished saws and pistols to Edward and John Biddle, convicted of murder and under sentence of death. The men overpowered the guards and are now at liberty. The woman has gone, too. leaving behind her four children us well as her husband, who declares tfiat she was in love with Edward Riddle, -whom she had never seen until he was put into her husband's keeping as a criminal. The whole unsavory history of criminology is full of woman's weakness for men who have conspicuously uild brutally violated the law. No matter how vile the crime, no matter how degraded the criminal, there are usually women who would palliate the offense and offer consolation to the prisoner. The old knitrhts of the road who levied tribute upon the traveling public were always tne Idols of high-bred women, who s-nt them nosegays and love songs when they languished in prison and followed them with admiration and sympathy to the very foot of the gallows stair. Perhaps this foolishness, to call it by no harsher name, was excusable In tho days when men of polish and breeding not Infrequently wore the mask of the heath rider and made their living at the point of the pistol, when courtesy accompanied crime and the marvelous qualities of Innocent Black Bess lent glory to the exploits of villainous Dick Turpin. But in this century, when crime has lost its glamour, when murder an.l robbery are usually matters of dastardly conception and brutal execution, why should women send llowers and notes to imprisoned rascals or aid them to dodge the penalties they so richly deserve? - This is a problem in psychology which has never been satisfactorily solved.

AVhy Do Not Republic Pny Some Attention to Euch Other f Harper's Weekly. Republics were always given to making more- of monarchies than monarchies of republics, ami our representation by a special embassy at the coronation of King Edward A'H is not out of the order of history. But several questions concerning the event will occur to the thoughtful observer. Now that we have become a worl-l-power, and are no longer a hermit-crab in the international swim, is it hot time that we should expect an exeh;ir,ge of such civilities? If Mr. Roosevelt should be re-elected, or some other citizen t-hould be thoj-cn our next President, will It not be fit for England to tend a speiial embassy, with a complete outfit of admirals and generals, to represent her at his inauguration? If not. why not? Is it not time, too. that republics should be-Rln making some-thing of one another? It Is now rather !ate for ns to fend a KpecUl embassy to honor the inauguration of President Loubet of Prance, but thero Is a President of Switzerland elected every year, whose inauguration we might proi erly recognize in soaie such way; and there are presidents more or less convulsively Installed through'. t:t Si an!h and Portuguese America who have logically the tame right to a little attention from us that th King of Great Britain has.
