between the Turks and their opponents are rare, and generally come as the rosult of the Macedonians having captured a Turkish village. In such cases the nearest Moslem commandant generally advances and throws Ms troops in a great cordon around the place. Then comes a "drive," by which the insurgents are forced back into tho town, on which the Turkish cannon are Instantly set playing. Before long the village 13 in flames. The Insurgents and villagers in It have to leave or be burned and It 13 in such an extremity that they make use of their bombs in a dosrerate attempt to blast their way to freedom. ONE AGAINST SEVEN THOUSAND. "Peto the Vlach," tho insurgent leader who kept seven thousand Turkish soldiers at bay for thirty-six hours and then killed himself to avoid capture, was the hero of euch an affair. The Macedonian band of which . he was the commander took the town of Krushevo, killed the thirty Turk3 who constituted Its government and garrison, and held tho place for two weeks, at the end of which time they were attacked in overwhelming force. It was in the afternoon that the battle began, the Turks, as usual, taking up their position on the hills above the town and firing their cannon down into it. The villagers fled for their lives, most of tho Macedonians were shot; the rest, ten in all, with re to the Vlach. at their head, fell back and took refugo in a small stone hut in the center of the town. Each of them found a window from which to fire, and then began one of the most gallant defenses in the history of modern war. Until night fell the little band kept pouring bullets from the windows of the hut, firing with such rapidity and execution that the Turks never dared charge the place. It was a certainty, however, that if they had held their position all would be murdered as soon as their ammunition ran out. and so, soon after night fell, Teto tho Vlach, who had been fighting the Turks for fifteen years, ordered his men to leave tho house one by one. They did so, and most of them escaped in the darkness, but the insurgent chief never had had any idea of giving up the fort. He had just ll'O cartridges, and with them he held off the Turks all through the night. Probably a thousand shots- were taken at him as he appeared, each time at a. different window, to pour his rille's contents into the Moslem ranks, but no shot took effect. When day broke he had killed forty men. but he was down to his last cartridge. This, after the fashion of hi countrymen, the hero of Krushevo used to end his own life. The Macedonian user of the bomb has availed himself of it for a good many purposes besides that of defense since he began fighting the Turk. With it he has blown up railways and steamboats, and, of course, all the famous "Salonlca outrages," from the attacks on the fashionable cafes In the evening to the blowing up of tho Ottoman bank, were accomplished with the aid of dynamite. The American correspondent already quoted has become rather an authority on the bomb, and with pretty good reason, as he came within an ace of being shot by Turkish soldiers because they thought ho was concerned in putting bombs on the railroad outside Salonica. This is Frederick Moore, of Washington and New Orleans, who, as correspondent of the London Times, made a greater reputation by his work in the Ealkans last year than perhaps any other correspondent sent there, and who certainly ventured into more hot corners in his quest of news than any of hia competitors. AMERICAN PLUCK WINS. It was sheer grit and rresence of mind that saved the American correspondent and traveling companion, H. II. Munro, of the London Post, from being slaughtered for dynamiters outside Salonlca on the night after the Ottoman Bank was blown up. Only the day before a train on the line to BaJonlca had been destroyed and several bridges had been wrecked by Bulgarians in the same way, and this, with the news of the wholesale bomb-throwing in the city the night before and the destruction of the Ottoman Bank, had made the Turkish soldiers who were guarding the line ready to shoot down any suspicious character, especially if, like these newspaper men, he carried a valise that might contain bombs. Moore and his companion had left Uskub early In the afternoon, and were due in Salonlca at 10:30 In the evening. The Journey had been monotonous, and both correspondents, who had a compartment to themselves, were dozing, when, in the middle of a wood and in Egyptian darkness, their train stopped suddenly, "shunted" by the Asiatic troops who were guarding the line. The two men were awake instantly and realized as promptly that they were in danger of being shot down, unquestioned, unless they could make it clear at once to the Turks that they were harmless Europeans. Says Mr. Moore: "There was but one chance, and we took it. We gathered our luggage and got out of the train. Fortunately we were not seen. The grass was high all about us, and the only guide to our way was a group of lights to the south. We conversed at the top of our voices in English as we stumbled through the darkness. We had rot gone fifty yards when we got the challenge. But it was hardly a challenge. It was a shout of alarm. There was a quarter moon, and In the direction of the cry we could dimly discern a tent and three scurrying figures. They were grabbing their rifles, and all muttering Turkish and quickly consulting. From down .the line each way came more, we could not tell how many, nishins into the trouble. We pitched our voices higher and were now lustily shouting: 'English! Inglese! Engloky! EfTendi! But they were not going to be taken in by any nch trick; no Knglesky Effendis would be tramping the railways at midnight with bags of dynamite. They prowled about our voices in a circle, crouching like red Indians. "It was a desperate chance, but the only one. We dropped our valises, and with hands uplifted came out of the shadow of a tree into the moonlight. They held us covered we understood Turkish that night we did not move a muscle. Suddenly I got a thump in the small of the back with the muzzle of a loaded and cocked musktt. I understood. There was a nervous finger n the trigger. I dared not even tremble. Then other soldiers approached.. Munro was some distance in front of me, still with his hands high. With one hand apiece they neither would let go their guns the soldiers bound my hands with a cord which was serving as braces for one of them. Munro was captured in the same manner The c(rd was long, and .the other end served to handcuff him." Mr. Moore added Kent ntiously : "We spent a rather exciting night." As a matter of fact they were In danger of death throur.h tvery hour of it. but in the nioirdng the petty office r turned up who wa3 in command of this outpo.t and released them. IIAYDKX CilUXICII.

These women are daughters of Senator Shirls, one of the richest distillers of scents in the County of the Vnr, and.grinddaushtcrs of Thorns, the stonemason who made a vast fortune in speculations-iu building ground during the second empire. Captain Carnot, husband of one of these women, was attached to the French part of the service of honor of the Emperor und Empress of Russia when they viöited Paris and Compiegne. lie went to Russia in the suite of M. Iubet and is believed to be a persona grata at the court of Russia. They too much forget that the greatest feather in the family cap is old Lazare Carnot, the conventional, who was as extreme In his republican politics as he was honorable in his life, and who Fpoke severely of Napoleon's alliance with Alexander I at the expense of Tolaud and Finland. Naturally Mesdames Carnot are sensible to the attentions their family have received from the court of Russia and still regard the Russians as the true friends, though the friendship has, cost French investors a lot of milliards of francs. Ladies all the world over are moved rather by personal influences. Still I should have been glad if they worked In the name of humauity for Japs as well as for Russians. The Red Cross Society, which has a masculine president and takes broad views, has subscribed L'üü.OuO francos to proide two field hospitals with Id) beds each for the Russian army and the same number for the Japanese. This money has been taken from the reserve fund of the society, which warns the public that any subscriptions sent in for present needs will be devoted equally to both sides unless a preference be specified by subscribers. MID-LENT STREET CARNIVAL. The organizers of the mid-lent street carnival will not forget Jacques Lebaudy and his Empire of Saraha. The students part of the procession opened with the march of the band3 of his imperial Majesty's fleet, the musicians being dressed in yellow and white Uniforms, the colors of the Saharan empire. A figurante, supposed to represent Jacques I, sat high enthroned on a car, surrounded by his court and cabinet of blacks, whites and mulattoes. The car following conveyed the members of a seraRlio. The queen of queens. Mile.

Unfortunately, rain acted as a wet blanket on maskers and mummers, and Sahara sailors dripped like tritons before they reached the end of their promenade. EMILY CRAWFORD. HOW LONDON TRAVELS ' IS TOLD IN FIGURES Remarkable Statistics of Urban Passenger Traffic in. the World's Great Metropolis. LONDON, April 2. Colossal were the figures dealing with the traffic of London which Mr. Edgar J. Harper, of the London County Council, presented to the Royal Statistical Society. There are about 600 miles of railway in Greater London, and some 600,000,000 train Journeys are made in a year. The busiest hour is from 9 to 10 a. m., when 3S1 trains arrive at the London termini. Between l and 2 p. m. there were counted in Piccadilly 3U6 omnibuses and 1,009 other vehicles. The day's toll of twelve hours was 15.2S4 vehicles, without counting barrows and cycles. Mr. Harper came to the conclusion that the provision of new and cheap means of transit in any particular district tends to produce too rapid a growth of population, often followed by overcrowding, high rents and other evils. ALLEGED ABSCONDER ' ARRESTED IN PARIS PARIS, April 2. A. L. Drummon, former chief of the United States secret service, to-day arrested Isaac Nebenzahl, of New York, on a requisition from tho State Department at Washington on the charge of embezzlement.

DELIVER OHE-TENTH OF HIS . IHOOflE TOTHE CBURGH Tithing in Utah Is Not Merely an Empty Figure of Speech. ESCAPE 1 IS IMPOSSIBLE Complete Organization Uncovers Sequestered Treasure from Garden Truck to Gold. Special Correspondence of the Journal. SALT UKE CITY, March 2S. Not the least woncerful of the distinctively Mormon institutions is the so-called "tithing" system. v By means of this system, without a rarallel in Christendom, the directing hierarchy of the Latter-day Saints has been able to create a tremendous revenue, to own aud operate banks, railroads, newspap rs, sugar factories and many other commercial enterprises. The means by which the "treasures of the Lord" are accumulated, the assiduity with which collections arc made aud the secrecy with which the aforesaid treasures are handled and disbursed are unique in finance and religion. In the form of 'Tcter's pence," Ills Holiness, the Tope, receives whatever food Catholics may choose to douate to the Sco of Home; but the Mormon Church exacts one-tenth of all earned or produced by its members iu good standing. This tithing is by no means a mere figure of speech. To the Mormon people it is a stern reality, literally meaning that onetenth of everything must be handed over to the church oflieers. An old phrase is amended by the devout Mormon to read: "Nothing is certain but death, taxes and tithing." In this trilogy the payment of tithing is just as hard to escape as the other two. STARTED BY SMITH. Along iu 1SJ8, when the finances of the Prophet Joseph Smith were at a rather low ebb, he had a "revelation" calling upon the saints to turn over all their property to the "presidency of the church, for the payment of certain debts and for the general upbuilding of the kingdom of God." This was a starter. After delivering all their accumulated riches of whatsoever nature, the faithful were commanded to keep up the good work by paying over onetenth of all they should acquire in the future. Numerous and dire penalties were provided for failure to comply with this command. It may readily be believed that this doctrine was found exceedingly useful by a mau of such business acumen as Brigham Young. The great organizer enforced the tithing rule with an iron hand and during the course of his reign a3 pontiff of the Mormon Church he succeeded iu getting this portion of the church routine down to a system that is the marvel of all who realize Its extent and practical workings. With this system as a base, Brigham Young made of the Mormon Church a powerful business organization that has been carefully nurtuied by succeeding rulers and which has grown iu greatness despite setbacks that would have irretrievably wrecked almosf auy other commercial combination. Although it Is but a few years ago that tho United States government in its paternal wisdom saw rit to take over all the property of the Mormon Church, leaving the latter stripped and bare of financial prestige, its wonderful recuperative power has enabled it once more to become a large factor in the commercial life of the Weit. To-day the governing body of the Latterday Saints is possessed of many millions, represented by money, real estate, stocks and bouds. It controls the street car and lighting systems of Salt Lake City; it directs the destiny of two large banks; it runs the beet sugar factories of the intermountaln States; it owns and operates coal miucs and places of amusement. MLilT ONCE A WEEK. Once a week, in the secret corridors of the great temple at Salt Lake City, or in tho church offices, the president of the church, Joseph F. Smith, meets with his counselors and the quorum of twelve apostel3 for the purpose of discussing the financial status of tho church and ways and means of operating. What takes place at these meetings is known only to the men who attend them or others of the few leaders. The utmost secrecy is maintained concerning the financial operations of the church authorities, theirextent and ramifications. The public, including thy Mormon public, obtains a glimpse of the operations rather through their expression than through the methods. There i3 little attempt to conceal the general result. The Mormons, like their Gentile brethren of Utah, now and again become aware that the church has entered a new enterprise as a controlling force. For the rest, you may conjecture. The payment of tithing is an article of faith with the Mormons. Not to pay tithing, or to pay it but partially, no "longer means, as in the days of Brigham Young, that the offender is excommunicated, lie is merely blacklisted as a "non-tlthepayer." That has its -own significance. Some there are, among those who still hold to the other Mormon doctrines, who decline to pay tribute in this manner. But a sufficient number among the S00,0u0 or f-o members of the church pay fully and regularly to provide an enormous revenue. Just what that amounts to in dollars is about as easy to ascertain with certainty as the annual income of John D. Rockefeller. It is a c.eep, dark secret that may not be disclosed to any one but the highest in tho church authority. The collecting system is admirable. Payment is supposed to be .made to the various ward bishops, whose positions in the Mormon organizations have been heretofore described in this series. The bishop maintains, in addition to a strong box for money, a storehouse. To this place are brought the tithing offerings of the faithful. One fetches a few eggs, another a ton of hay, still another a cabbage or two. If the payer be a farmer, he usually hauls to tho storehouse one-tenth of his grain, onetenth of his produce of all kinds. If the Increase in his livestock amounts to one hundred head in a year he must turn over ten animals to the bishop. Those who are employed at wage or salary give one-tenth of their weekly or monthly Income. NOTHING IS EXCEPTED. Nothing is too insignificant or tco great to find its way to the tithing office, or the bishop's storehouse, from the $,"10,000 check of the bank president to a bunch of asparagus from a poor truck farmer. It all forms part of the "treasures of the Lord," It all goes, finally, to the building up of the material influence and prosperity of the Mormon Church, at the will and under tne direction of the handful of men who are the absolute dictators of the organization. Once a month the bishop of the ward makes accounting to the chief of the tithing system, Bishop William B. Preston, in Salt Lake City. The ward bishop, as his share of the collections, retains onetenth of all that gets Into his hands. The remainder is supposed to go to Bishop Preston, to be by him turned into the general church fund. Over this fund and iu control of it is a tithing board, composed of President Joseph F. Smith and live others. The complete organization, from the hig;priests to the people, enables the MiAm n Church to accomplish wonders in the way of tithing collections, just as it enables it to sway enormou influence in elections. And through it all is the vein of mysticism, of religious feeling and devotion to an ideal. The block t?achers, who regularly visit every family throughout each ward, are actuated, primarily, by desire to do good to cheer the afflicted and to give religious instruction to such as require it. Actually, they are the instruments for accomplishing a very practical object. Just as these block teachers can advise their bishops of public feeling or carry the word of political dictation Irom the hierarchy in 'the Bee Hive house to the voters in the wards, so can they ascertain and report on the worldly condition of the members visited. In this manner it is possible for

the ward bishop to know with great ac

curacy the amount earned by every mem ber of his nock. ' EVASION IMPOSSIBLE. For men in high positions the church has a different but equally effective system for gathering information for the tithing office. If a member supposedly in good standing should take it into his head to put away a few thousands In a Gentile bank, where he might reason, the church officers could not learn of its presence, he 13 rather astonished to be informed by his bishop or some other officer that his little plan is known. They will tell him. perhaps, the exact amount of his hoard and where it is deposited. To explain this omniscience one. must take into account the political influence of the church and the wonderful ramifications of its &erret service system. Often Individual ccntributions to the tithing fund are of large amount. Some time ago Jesse Knight, a member in good standing, sold a mine, receiving as hi? share SiXUXM. Scarcely had he deposited this amount in the bank before he had drawn a check for $25,000. which he turned ovr to the tithing office. While the tithing system of the Latterday Saints has for its authority biblical examples and the "revelation" received by Joseph Smith, it is not regarded as in any sense a charitable contribution. Tho Mormon Church has other means of looking after its poor, which it does most effectively. The tithing funds are for the building up of the kingdom of the Lord and for the enhancement of the glory of tho church. Practically, the tithing fund Is employed almost exclusively to increase the temporal power and influence of the Mormon hierarchy. For this purpose the money is invested in a variety of enterprises, selected by the united wisdom of several shrewd, far-seeing men. Just now Apostle Reed Smoot, he of the investigation troubles, is the "business man" of the organization. Extremely successful in his own affairs, his judgment is regarded as of great value to the first presidency. PRESIDENT AT THE HEAD. . The property of the Mormon Church is vested in a corporation sole of which the president is tho "trustee-in-trust" and virtually "the whole thing." To him fall the financial loaves and fishes; to him, as the representative and trustee of tho church, accrue the emoluments that go with control of a dozen big commercial enterprises. The president personifies the church. In addition to being "prophet, seer and revelator," an inspired teacher in spiritual things, he is the mundane representative of God to accumulate treasures for the kingdom which every good Mormon firmly believes is being builded in the Rooky mountains for His reign. In consequence, we find President Joseph F. Smith the directing head of many corporations, among which are the following: Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution. Utah Sugar Ccmpany. Idaho Sugar Company. Fremont County Sugar Company. Utah Light and I railway Company. Consolidated Wagon aud Machine Company. Salt Lake & Los Angeles Railroad Company. Saltair Beach Company. Inland Crystal Salt Company. President Smith-is also a director In the Union Pacific Railroad Company and owns stock, on behalf of the church, in a score of other concerns. The wide range of church activity in business, made possible by the tithing accumulations, includes the operating of a big daily newspaper, an amusement palace built out over the great Salt lake, two big banks, the street railway system of Salt Lake City, retail and wholesale general merchandise stores, job printing and twen ty or more Ginercnt enterprises, na every one of them, except the Saltair pavilion on the great Salt lake, is a money-maker. Perhaps the most striking business expression -of the Mormon Church is Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution. This gigantic business, which deals in everything from eggs to furniture, was founded by Brigham Young. In 1S6S the Mormon pontiff began a crusade against the Grntilo merchants of Salt Lake City. Ho thundered anathemas from tho pulpit of the tabernacle; but he did more. He engaged spies to watch the doors of the Gentile business houses and report the names of all Mormons who patronized them. The guilty were promptly called to account. Retailers in the small villages throughout the State were compelled to show their invoices to their bishops, and when they were caught buying of a Gentile wholesale house sufficient warning was given to forco them to desist. As an aid to this movement, or, rather, a "clincher., Brigham Young gathered the Mormon merchants into one corporation (and he had no hesitancy in taking possession of it) with the avowed object of '"freezing out" the nonMormon business men. At one time the Gentile merchants, discouraged at the effect of this warfare, united in an offer to sell their entire holdings at 23 per cent, of their value, If the church would purchase. Young replied in characteristic vein that he had not invited the Gentiles? to Salt Lake and he didn't care if they remained or not. He purposed crushing them with completeness aud dispatch. SAVED BY RAILROAD. All that prevented a consummation of this scheme of commercial conquest, and the consequent total ruin of the non-Mormon business men, was the timely advent of the Central Pacific Railroad. This enterprise brought in Its train an influx of Gentiles and was the first great step in the "Americanizing" of Utah. But while Gentile merchants thrive in Salt Lake City and in some other parts of Utah to-day, doing the bulk of the business, the great mercantile institution founded by Brigham Young still exists, stronger than ever and wider than ever in its scope of operations. It occupies a large part of a big block. Over its portals is the inscription, originated by Brigham the versatile, "Holiness to the Lord." This legend surmounts and half encircles a monster eye, typical of much. As many of the tithing payments are made "In kind," instead of in cash, provision has been made for the disposal of the produce and livestock that finds its way into the storehouses of the bishops. This is part of the truly great system originated by Brigham Young end improved by his successors. The church issues "tithing script," or paper currency, calling for the face value in "meat." The last word is a general term. The currency Is good for any sort of merchandise that the holder may demand, if it be in stock. With this scrip employes of the church are paid in part. At times, to a limited extent, it is given in charity. With it one may purchase meat, or flour, or hay, or garden stuff. This part of the system disposes of much of the garnered produce. PREPARED FOR FAMINE. Mindful of famines incidental to the early history of the saints, the Mormons have builded great ware-houses where, regularly, large quantities of grain are stored to provide for the people in the event of failure of crops. Some portion of the tithing fund Is used, of course, for the erection of meeting houses, the care of temples and in other ways necessary for the conservation of the church property. In Europe all the payments made by the faithful are retained by their various conferences for the building of houses of worship. Much has been said and written of the "enormous" salary of President Smith. One absurd statement credited him with receiving a remuneration of $0,000 a year for his services' to the church. As a matter of fact the president of the Latter-day Saints is given an annuity of J2,5'X), in addition to which the church maintains his establishment, the Bee Hive house, the official residence. But this amount does not by any means represent his income. As already shown, he is the custodian of the church property and by virtue of his position he reaps, indirectly, large annual returns from the variowj business enterprises in which he is engaged on behalf of the church. Tho members of the quorum of the twelve apostles also receive considerable emoluments indirectly by being made directors of banks and .other business corporations and by the opportunities they have for "inside" information concerning contemplated deals and the status of the various enterprises in which the church is interested. But at the last It must be acknowledged that the "treasures of the Lord" are held pretty rigidly for the glory and profit of the church organization, as an organization, and not for the benefit of a few individuals. These profit, it is true, in th? handling, but in a temporary way, while the coffers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continue to wax heavier with the accumulated tlthings and the accumulated profits of commerce made possible by the tithe-payers.

FRANCE AND TIE PAPAL COURT IAY BREAK OFF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS (CONCLUDED FROM PAGE 1. PART 2.)

official diplomats. Pius X is also desirous of Increasing the number of Vatican representatives abroad, but his policy is to send them, whether officially recognized or not, and his first appointment under this plan is that of a new apostolic delegate to England, who will have the same power over the bishops of the United Kingdom as the papal representative at Washington has over those of the United States. . Remembering the discomforts to which the cardinals were subjected during the conclave last year, when their suffering was occasioned not only by the hot weather but by the cramped quarters, the Tope has Instructed M. Schneider, architect of the Vatican palace, to submit plans for a new building to be erected in the western portion of the Vatican gardens,- in which all future elections of pepes will be held.. The plans include seventy apartments of six rooms each in a three-story building,' with separate entrances for each suite as well as interior methods of communication. It is intended to provide accommodation for a secretary and valet for each cardinal, who will live in the building during the conclave. A feature of the building' will be a large assembly hall, where the election will take place. There will also be a chapel, dining and reception rooms, and sleeping apartments for the conclave officials. The cost of the structure will be about $.00,000, which the Pope expects to receive through the generosity of the Catholics of the world. A new secretary of the conclave has been appointed by the Pope in the person of Mgr. Gasparri, who has long been prominent in the Roman congregations. ; The appointment of a new patriarch at Venice, which was considered solved by the naming of Mgr. Scalabrini, Bishop of Piacenza, In whose appointment- the Italian government, with the right of patronage over the nomination, agreed. Mgr. Scalabrini, urged by his Placentine flock, has declined the appointment. The Pope has persuaded the government to accede to the appointment ofthe present administrator, Mgr. Cavallari, as patriarch, and a royal decree has been issued, confirming the appointment and giving Mgr. Cavallari the right to collect the temporalities of the see. The new patriarch is the first bishop to bo nominated by Tius X, who appointed him administrator at Venice in the face of the opposition of the canons of St. Mark, who, but a few years ago, had refused to receive him as a member of the chapter. He is to be made a cardinal at the next consistory. The Pope has summoned Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, to come to Rome as soon as possible after Easter. Other bishops of the United States are to come here during the year, but the call to the Philadelphia prelate is considered significant in view of the fact that he has been suggested as the proper candidate for an American cardinal. Tho Pope is said to be anxious to make his personal acquaintance in order that he may be helped in solving the problem. Archbishop Ryan's claims are urged on the grounds that he has been a bishop much longer than Archbishop Farley, of New York, whose recent visit to Rome helped along the predictions that he would fc named the next American cardinal. Important discoveries have recently been made in the catacombs of Rome as the result of excavations of the Archaeological Society at the request of the Pope. Tho catacombs are those of Comodilla, near the Church of St. Paul, which were entirely obliterated two centuries ago by a cave-in of the upper soil. The discoveries include the tombs of Sts. Felix and Anacletus, and the frescoes on the walls were. found in an excellent state of preservation. One represents the Virgin surrounded by saints, and it is stated that the picture is very similar to those of the sixth century. It is in the Byzantine style. Another discovery was that of a complete gallery which had seemingly never been entered since the early days of the church.
