Pedestrians Have Rights Motormen Arc Bound to Respect. ST. LOUIS. March 10. In the United States Court of Appeals an opinion hand ed down by Judge Thayer, concurred in by Judge Caldwell, defines the rights and privileges of pedestrians and vehicles upon street railway tracks, and the duties of motormen in running their cars. The plaintiff In the case, whose vehicle had been wrecked and the occupants injured, set forth that the motoraan was guilty of negligence, and the defense set up that the plaintiff was guilty of contributory negli gence. This was the main question at Is sue In the appeal. Judge Thayer held that a motorman Is under the same obligations to exercise ordinary care and prudence so as tb avoid collisions and injuring persons as these persons are to exercise care not to get In the way of street-cars so as to be run over and Injured. He says pedestrians and vehicles have a right to cross the tracks of street railways at any point be sides the regular crossings, and to use the tracks for any distance for a matter of safety or convenience where they do not unnecessarily interfere with or ob struct the passage of the cars. A motor man, he says, hast no right to act on the assumption that he is entitled to a clear track at all times, and that pedestrians or vehicles are bound at their peril, no matter at what Inconvenience, to get out of the waV. He held that tho plaintiff' In this case had a right to use the street railway tracks as a convenience in avoiding the mudhole in the street, and that the mo torman was guilty of negligence In not taking proper precautions to reduce the speed of his car when he saw the vehicle, so as to bring it under such control that he could have avoided collision. Judge Sanborn filed a lengthy dissent ing opinion. He holds the trial Judge erred In refusing to allow the claims of .contributory negligence on the plaintiffs part. . .. FOL'LOWS UP THE . GERMS Were Placed in Drainage Canal In Chicago and FoBnd at St. Lonis. CHICAGO. March 10. In order to prove that disease germs from the Chicago drainage canal are carried to the Mis sissippi River and pollute the drinking water of St. Louis, Dr. Amand Ravold stated that he placed barrels of germs in the sanitary channel at Lamont and traced lhe bacilli to St. Louis. Speaking of this matter. Drainage Trustee William H. Baker said: "The action of Dr. Ravold was a daring experiment,, and came as a surprise to us, but I do not think that It disproves the contention of the board and the State of Illinois." Attorney James H. Todd, of the santiiry board, said: "I do not think that tho test made by SL Louis proves anything, because tho number of germs placed In tho channel is morfe than Chicago would ordinarily fur nish in many weeks. The drainage board evidence proves that no dangerous disease germs which Chicago sends Into the channel ever reached St. Louis. That is the basis of our case, and we can prove it without a doubt. We have no fear regarding the outcome of the drain age board's case." Tho health department authorities of this clly declare they recognize from Im ported germs dumped by Mr. Ravold into the drainage canal a familiar variety which could, readily have been secured from Lake Michigan. This bacillus Is found everywhere." said Commissioner "Reynolds. "In lake and rjver water and on garden vegetables. It is not injurious. On the contrary, its presence will prevent "anthrax In rabbits." FORTY YEARS MARRIED KXNG EDWARD AND HIS QUEEIf CELEBRATE EVENT. Anniversary Observed With.

SOCIALISTS ATTACK KAISER. Allege Sympathy With Daclins; and Question Military, Skill. BERLIN. March 10. Herr Bebel. the Socialist leader, during the debate on the military buget in the Reichstag, said the higher classes, of society were in a state of permanent conspiracy against law and religion. So far as dueling was concerned, all the military courts and the fixed opin ion of the military class. Including His Majesty, regarded dueling as necessary in the army, notwithstanding the Reichstag's resolutions on the subject and against the weight of public opinion. The Socialist leader then spoke on the unfavorable criti cism of the Kaiserhoff maneuvers in the French and English press as well as high German military writers. The War Minister, Von Gossler, said that throughout the year 1902, no duel had oc curcd between officers on the active list. Duelists, he continued, were pardoned only on -the recommendation of the high est courts. The Minister added: "We know perfectly well that an army having a large cavalry force has an Im mense advantage over its enemy. The Kaiserhoff maneuvers show that our troops are quite pre-eminent. When Herr Bebel refers to unfavorable foreign criti cisms we reply that we do not expect for eign applause for our maneuvers." Herr Tledmann. Conservative, said that dueling was unavoidable In some cases, however severely It might be punished, and he would regret to see the day when this iew disappeared from among the people. Herr Kunert. Socialist, attempted to criticise the Emperor's military skill, hut Speaker von Ballestrom ruled that such criticisms were Inadmissible. Herr Kunert retorted: "I infer from your ruling that we can mention God here, but not William IL" Count von Ballestrom had to call Herr Kunert to order before the latter desisted in his remarks. CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES. German Naval Committee Reduces Budget for New Ships. BERLIN, March 10.-The Reichstag committee having the naval budget in charge has begun to show a spirit of rigid economy. A strong attempt was made to day to reject the first quotas of $550,000 each for tho battleships of the "M" and "N" classes. Herr Rlchter, the Radical leader, made a motion to this effect, al leging the financial condition of the em pire did not warrant the expense and de manding a slower pace in building ships. Admiralty Secretary von Tirpltz pointed out the extraordinary naval preparations being made by other powers, and pleaded for a regular Increase In the strength of Germany's navy. Herr Rlchter's motion was defeated, 15 to 12. An appropriation of $112,500 for a river gunboat to be used In Chinese waters was rejected by the members of the Center and Socialist par ties on the committee, with whom one Conservative voted. After this an item of ?123.000 for a hydro graphic vessel, which Admiral von Tir pltz wAnted for the purpose of taking new soundings' In the Baltic was unanimously rejected. A sharp fight followed over the first quota for repairs for the cruisers Kalserin Augusta and Irene. The committee final ly compromised bjr voting- $125,000 for each vessel. Hcrren Mueller, Rlchter and Singer, dur ing the course of the discussion, rederred to the great profits made by the contrac tors who were fumlBhlng materials for the ships now under construction, and Herr Mueller offered a resolution asking Chan cellor von Bulow to open all future con tracts to the widest competition, admit ting foreign bidders. If necessary. The motion was unanimously adopted. GREETS ENGLISH CATHOLICS. Pope Leo Receives Loyal Address and Say He Is Well. ROME, March 10.

The Duke read a loyal address, which the pope answered, expressing his appreciation. The pontiff looked very well, considering his late Illness. He said he felt quite him self again. The following was the most Important passage In the Duke of Norfolk's ad dress: "We can't forget tho noble series of encyclicals In which you have regulated the affairs of the church with the king doms of the world while strenuously as serting the Independence of the holy see, which Catholics throughout the world will never cease to claim." ENORMOUS COST OF WAR. Vast Sams Which Britain Pays for , Army and Navy. . NEW YORK. March 10. Mr. Brodrlck wants 34.500,000 for the army next year. The same amount Is required for the navy by Lord Shclboume. The army estimates, says the Tribune's London representative, have nevfer been approached except In time of war, and the navy estimates, which exceed the current year's figures by 3.500.000. have broken all records. John Bright once said that a government which could not rule the United Kingdom on 70.000,000 a year should be turned out of office. The army and navy alone wilt cost almost this sum for the ensuing 12 months, and the total national expendi ture will reach 150.000.000. The outlook for the British taxpayer is gloomier than ever. BR OD RICK STANDS FIRM. Declares Army He Asks Is Necessary te Empire's Defease. LONDON. March 10. Tho House of Com mons today. In committee of the whole, commenced the debate on the army esti mates. War Secretary Broderlck began by flatly announcing that lhe, government intended to fight it out on the proposition to make the estimates 235,367 men of all ranks, as being a question of an efficient xorce. notwithstanding the attacks hither to made os it from both sides of the Houses of Pari lament. The Smplre's de mands were ever Increasing and the pro posed estimate would not bo found ex cessive for the colonies, frontiers and for homo defense, in the event of the country being called upon to defend the frontiers, which would always he liable to occur. After a short debate on an amendment to reduce the estimate" by 27,000 men, the discussion adjourned. PROMOTER IN HOT WATER. PresecHtien f Whittaker Wright Ordered by English Coart. LONDON, March lCX-Justlce Buckley, In the chancer division of the High Court of Justice Mils morning, made an order directing the official receiver, as liqui dator of the London '& Globe Finance Cor poration, Ltdr.. to prosecute criminally Whittaker Wright, the well-known pro moter, and utilize the assets of the Lon don &i Globe Company to pap the costs of the prosecution. The demands for "Wright's prosecution have been Incessant since the collapse Of the corporation. After the Public Prose cutor declined to proceed, the fund pro jected at a meeting held In this city Jan uary 16, to initiate the prosecution of Wright and others connected with the failure, was started, but It was generally felt that the proceedings ought to be of .a more official character, hence the ap plication that the receiver should be al lowed to take action. Whltaker Wright was head of the Lon don & Globe Finance Corporation, which organized a number of subsidiary mining companies. Among these was the British-America Corporation, which bought Le Rol and other noted mines at Ross land, B. C, and turned them over to other corporations, of which the stock was held In England. The failure of the London & Globe a year ago caused a panic on the London Stock Exchange a year ago, and official Investigation revealed serious Ir regularities. The late Marquis of Duf ferln was nominal head of the company and was a heavy loser, and the trouble arising from the failure is said to have hastened his death. He had been Governor-General of Canada and Viceroy of India. TO LEGALIZE HER MARRIAGE. Straggle of American Princess io Obtain Approval of Church. ROME, March 10. The Congregation of the Propaganda has received from Bishop O'Connell, of Portland, Me., his report on the Investigation he 'made into the mar riage ofthe Princess Rosplgllos, formerly Reld, of Washington, with her divorced husband, Colonel Parkhurst, of Bangor, Me. The Princess wishes to prove that her marriage with Colonel Parkhurst Was il legal and thus have It annulled by the church In order to pave the way for a church recognition of her marriage with Prince Rosplgllos, and an authorization f6r a religious ceremony here. Bishop O'Con nell, in making hia report, does not give an opinion, so that the congregation must itself settle the dispute. Princess Rosplgllos, who Is a Catholic, was divorced In 1S9S from Colonel Park hurst, who was a Protestant, and In 1901 was married In Rome to Prince Rosplgllos, head of an ancient family of clerical no bility and the commandant of the papal noble guard. The ceremony was a civil one, and from the first the Catholic church refused to recognize the marriage. When the Prince first applied to the Congrega tion of the Propaganda for recognition of his wife's divorce In the United States, the church declined to recognize It, but Monsieur Chapelle, who married Mrs. Parkhurst to her first husband, has since testified before the congregation that the first marriage was not In accordance with the laws of the church.
