Irtmbet Leaves Tonlon to Visit His
SomeThe President Praised
lor His Tact.
TOULON, April 1L In behalf of the
JB3nsr of Italy, the Duke of Genoa today
jJlairlbuted a number of decorations to
the French Ministers and military, naval
and civil officials. President Loubet spent
the early part xt the day in making a
tour of the hospitals, and afterwards re
ceived at the town hall delegations irom
the Tofflon societies. He also distributed
medals to workmen who had been 30
years In the same employ. At noon Presi
dent Loubet boarded the Lepanto, the
Italian flagship, and lunched with the
Duke of Genoa. The latter. In toasting
the Chief Executive of France, said:
"Permit me. Mr. President, to express
t0 you my acknowledgment of the very
cordial and sympathetic welcome accord
ed by France to myself and to this squad
ron under my command. I shall retain an
unalterably happy recollection of the mag
nificent reception. I drink to France and
her urmles on land and sea, and 1 also
deBlre to express my high regard for
yourself personally,"
Before he resumed his seat, the Duke
touched glasses with President Loubet
and the two warmly clasped hands. Pres
ident Loubet replied:
"Monseigneur, I am profoundly moved
3y the friendship you have just expressed
ior the French Bepubllc and Its Presi
dent, and by the sympathy which you
show for Its army and navy. It is un
necessary to repeat to you what are the
feelings- of the French Nation toward
Italy. You already know them and I have
described them to you. But I wish once
more to assure you that we are pro
foundly touched by the evidence of friend
ship which His Majesty the King of
Italy has given to France, by sending
your grand squadron here. I drink to
the health of King Victor Emmanuel, to
the Toyal family, to their prosperity, to
the Italian fleet. I drink also to your
personal health. Just now, I noticed in
your cabin the pictures of those dear
to you. Permit me to associate them Tvlth
yourself In the good wishes I am now
expressing, and drink to the health of
your entire family."
"While on board the X-epanto, M. Loubet
discussed with the Duke of Genoa the in
crease and perfection of modern arma
ments, remarking that it would be a ter
rible responsibility to provoke war. The
Duke of Genoa said: "You are right,
and I think such visits as these are cal
culated to render the relations between
nations more cordial." M. Loubet and M.
Delcasse spent half an hour on board
jthe submarine boat Gustave Zede, ana
part of the time she was going through
evolutions submerged. The President also
visited the Russian battle-ship Czarovltch
and the Russian armored cruiser Bayan,
bestowing commandershlns In the Legion
of Honor upon their captains. Later,
ML Loubet attended a banquet given In
his honor In the principal theater.

Duke of Genoa at 11:36 P. M. President

ships, will remain here until Saturday.
The Italian sailors were allowed ashore
last evening and fraternized with their
French comrades in the cafes and along
the streets. The local fetes will continue
until tomorrow night, until the interna
tional fetes are over.
PRAISE! KOR. LOUBET.
,For the Able Manner In "Which He
.Carried Out His Part
PARIS, April 1L The .satisfactory man
ner 'in which the whole affair at Toulon
has been carried out has been a -personal
success for M. Loubet. Nothing but praise
Is heard, even from his opponents, for
4he able manner In "which he has played
his part The accounts agree that not
a false note has disturbed the harmony
and the tact displayed on all sides, from
President Loubet, the Duke of Genoa and
Admiral BIrileff to -the minor participants
In thB events, was a noteworthy feature.
As to the political side of the Franco
Italian demonstration, the Temps tonight,
aow that the speechmaklng is over, puts
the situation In a clear light with the fol
lowing remarks:
"The words pronounced by M. Loubet
and the Duke of Genoa, and especially
the telegrams exchanged between M. Lou
bet and the King of Italy, stamp the pro
ceedings at Toulon with their true diplo
matic significance. France and Italy yes
terday gave one another officially the title
of friends, which accords so well with
the fraternity of their genius and blood.
This is an event which must not be dis
torted nor strongly interpreted. But there
is little risk of exaggerating Its import
ance, which, taking everything into con
sideration, is considerable. Both Italy
and France have greatly changed since
the time of Bismarck and CrispL We can
not yet cay what fruits yesterday will
bring forth, but we augur much there
from." The Journal des Debate says the events
at Toulon will leave a happy souvenir In
the history of France and Italy, and their
rapprochement will henceforth xank as an
established, avowed and proclaimed fact.
M. Hanotaux, the ex-Minister of Foreign
Affairs, in an Interview, is quoted as ex
pressing the opinion that the Toulon dem
onstrations were a valuable indication of
the pacific sentiments animating the pow
ers. The visit of the Italian squadron
marks tbe;'end of a painful period of ten
sion in the relations between France and
Italy, and points to an evolution of the
sentiments- of the Italian Government
toward France. i
Significance of the Festivities.
ROME April 1L The .Patrla publishes
a dispatch from Toulon giving an inter
view with M. Delcasse, .the French For
eign Minister, regarding the significance
of the lentlylties there. M Delcasse Is
xeported.as having said: "
"The interests -of France and Italy are
not, happily, opposed. Diplomacy ought
to profit by this absence of motives for
conflict. My ambition Is to conclude an
other commercial treaty with Italy. I
have been charmed by the tact, courtesy,
ability, culture and savolr falre of the
Duke of "Genoa." ' Cvi '
THE CZAR NOT FRIGHTENED.
Students Do Not Blame Him for
-.
Their Grievances.
LONDON, April 11. A dispatch from St.
Petersburg, dated April H, says that the
stories of plots against the life of the
Czar, which found their way lntt the
American press through English, German
and French chEnne"ls. were common talk
on the Streets of St. Petersburg .months
before they were published. Reports o
the effect that the Czar was living-.behjna;,
steel walls and continually running, from
one deBk to another in his study for fear
of bombs, aroused nothing but 'ridicule.
Alarm has been felt In all circles for the
life of the Czar, as the avowed anarch
ists and revolutionists have been display
ing unusual activity since the student
troubles. It -would-be going too far to
say that the students central committee
or some members thereof ""are probably
compromised by their relations with the
revolutionary organizations, but it is not
generally believed that the mass of stu
dents are Infected with revolutionary
principles.
"The students do not appear even to
have regarded -the Csa as responsible
for their grievances, continues the dis
patch. He recently received, a delegation,
of them "at Tsarkoe-Salole; where he now
resides. Many of them frankly confess
that they never heard an unkind word
spoken of 'him, and, this cannot be attrib
uted to fear, for the students are accus
tomed to talk quite freely among them
selves. Thus the idea that the students
as a body are plotting against his life
falls to the ground. Emperor Nicholas
certainly does not seem- to entertain this
fear, for he come3 to the city frequently
to transact state affairs or to attend pub
lic -concerts.
Student Demonstrations Spread.
BERLIN, April 11. The Voerwaerts,
the Socialist organ, asserts that the stu
dent demonstrations in Russia have
spread to Siberia and that 300 students
recently paraded In Tomsk singing revo
lutionary songs.
In the course of a long article on
"Wall-street speculation, the Frankfurter
Zeltung says:
"The present boom bears the stamp
of a wild and highly unsound move
ment, resembling the Vienna speculation
craze of 1873. The greatest caution should
be exercised by German Investors."
The article attracted much attention
on the bourse today, causing a break in
values.

straight rails, 300 tons of curved rails and
160 tons of fishplates. The price for the
rails will be $32 a ton, and the fishplates
?34 a ton. The order is therefore worth

5900.000. was Tiurehaspd In trm United

largest ever placed In this city for use in
Great Britain. The Lorain Steel Com
pany, of Ohio, gets the order.
Sympathy for Macedonians.
LONDON, April 12. "Stromr sig
nificance attaches to the fact," says the
Constantinople correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle, "that the Bulgarian
Minister of War having forbidden oflicers
to hold any communication with the Mace
donia committee, several Immediately re
signed. This proves the existence of
widespread sympathy for the Macedonian
revolution. If the prohibition is extended
to civil as well as military oflicers, the
speedy downfall of the Bulgarian Minis
try Is almost inevitable. The Macedo
nian Congress Is now definitely fixed for
May 17 and a grave crisis is contem
plated." "Wanted an Inquiry.
LONDON, April 1L The annual meet
ing of the shareholders of the Cunard
Line Company today was marked by an

scribed as Insane.-
LONDON, April 12. No further news
has been received regarding the reported

THE CHINESE SITUATION.
Not Mnca Progress Being 'Made To-
ward a Settlement.
WASHINGTON, April 11.- There were
.no developments over night in the situ
ation at Pekln, so far as the State De
partment is informed. The troublesome
subject of indemnities Is still engaging
the attention of the Ministers and not
much progress is being made toward a
final settlement. Incidentally, exchanges
are golpg on between the various foreign
offices in a rather irregular manner and
it is possible that this will eventuate in
the arrangement of a basis o-settlement.
Some such course as this was found
necessary to secure the original agree
ment upon which the Ministers themselves
are now in negotiation with the Chinese
envoys, the Ministers themselves having
failed to arrange a base for the negotia
tions. German Officer Killed.

END' OF PATRICK HEARING.
New York ImTrrer Held to Answer to
the Grand Jury.
NEW YORK, ApriTll. The hearing in
the, gase, of Albert T. Patrick, charged,
with the murder of. Millionaire Rice,
closed this afternoon, and Justice Jerome
announced that he reserved his decision,
but hoped to make it known by Monday.
It rests w.ith Justice Jerome whether or
not Patrick will be hold for the grand
jury. Meanwhile, Patrick will stay in the
Tombs. -
Ih summing up for the prisoner, his
counsel, T&r. Moore, presented several rea
sons why he thought Patrick should be
fre.ed. The last one was this: "Admit
ting, if you will, that Patrick is srulltv of
forgery, corroboration of that has no bear
ing on the charge of murder. We con
tend that there is no evidence that Rice
was murdered."
"That may be," Justice Jerome said,
"but under the common law, on the state
ment of Jones alone. I should have to
hold the; defendant for the grand jury.
Whether the statutes charge this in re
gard to the holding of the defendant for
the grandjjury is the question. That Is a
mere question of law, and can easily be
settled." i
Mr. Moore, acting for David L. Short
and Morris Meyers, waived' examination
of the charges of forgery against them, as ,
he also did concerning the charge of forg
ery against Patrick. The latter was re
manded to the Tombs without bail on the
murder charge, but no ball was fixed for
him In the 'forgery matter, while Short
and Meyers were held In -bonds of $10,000
each. " "

; THE STOLEN GOLD BARS.

belief that'the gold bars reported missing
from the specte'-roonj of the Kaiser Wil
hejm der qrpsse In transit between New

wcrck of clever thieves, for the precau

Too Many Inftdels, She Says.
New York Tribune.
"Students of colleges and universities
are being made infidels under our very
eyes," said a member of the Woman'?
National Sabbath alliance at its regular
monthly meeting yesterday morning. She
lamented the fact that textbooks are
written by skeptics and agnostics and
that, as a consequence, statements made
regarding religious creeds are caricatures.
Anent the subject, another member stated
that college students are often obliged to
travel on Sunday, . because they must
reach their classrooms early on the morn
ings of the. Mondays following vacations.
She suggested that the attention of col
lege presidents be called to this condi
tion. In these easy-going days, she said,
young people do not rise at 6 o'clock in
the mornings or icarller to catch early
trains.. A r discussion, followed this and
the matter will -be brought before the
board of directors. The meeting was in
formal and a variety of topics was dis
cussed. Mrs, Darwin R. Jones presided
and sald - t ,

Auditor Lawab.ee Found a Poor Sys
tem of Bookkeeping.
WASHINGTON, April U. A letter from
A. L. Lawshee, Auditor of the Philippines,
haB been received at the War Depart
ment, and certain portions of It have
been sent to the Postmaster-General for
his Information. The letter relates large
ly to the methods of keeping accounts,
which are not approved by Mr. Lawshee,
and which have not been In accordance
with the forms prescribed. Mr. Lawshee
took four expert clerks when he, went to
the Philippines, and these are going over
the accounts. It is said at the depart
ment that there is no intimation of any
fraud, but a Bystem of bookkeeping is in
vogue which lacks the business methods
necessary to secure the best Tesults. '
"The'accounts as filed here," said Post
masteriGeneral 'Smith, "are certainly am
ple. They account satisfactorily for every
thing. As to Irregularities, there Is ab
solutely no word of foundation for such a
story. Not long ago one of the most ex
perienced Inspectors In the postal service
was sent to the Philippines, and he made
a thorough Inspection of every detail of
the work there. His report paid a high
tribute to the condition of affairs. The
reports from there show a. handsome sur
plus, a showing that I only wish the ser
vice In the United States cquld make."

WASHINGTON, April 11. The transport
Garonne sailed from Manila March 8 with
the Twenty-sixth "Volunteer Infantry, ex
cept Gompany F, and has not yet been

caused any apprehension at the War De
partment, as it took the Garonne 11 days
to reach Nagasaki, coal and resume her
voyage, while the other transports take
only nine ddye. She is a" slow vessel, and
may be a week behind the other trans
ports if she makes no better time between
Nagasaki and San Francisco than she did
on the first part of the voyage.

VICE IN NEW YORE.
Committee
of Fifteen
Report.
Snbmlts Its
NEW YORK, April 11. The Committee
of Fifteen, organized some months ago to
investigate vice as It exists in this city,
made its preliminary report to the pub
lic today. The report dlsclos.es the fact
that gambling and poolrooms were being
operated openly. In violation of the, law;
that the gambling spirit had been devel
oped to such an extent as to become a
distinct menace to the community, and
that these resorts were undoubtedly pro
tected in their operation by officers whose
dutv It was to close them. Raids were
J made by the committee and its agents,
and the results obtained show conclusive
ly that a committee of citizens can force
the police to close such resorts, thus prov
ing that vice Is protected, and also that
the raids have resulted in making the
gambling business unprofitable.
The committee has been collecting data
from different countries, and Intends to
prepare ft report embodying suggestions
for the treatment of the soclal-evll prob
lem In great cities. It does not feel that
the best Interests of the city will be
served by any violent attempt to sup
press thig evil, but it is hoped that the
forthcoming report will present such In
formation and recommendations as shall
enable the community to face the situa
tion frankly and to deal 'with It conserva
tively -and wisely. The committee says
that the actual conditions of the tene-ment-hoUse
population Is alarming in re
spect to the social eyll, and that In 125
tenement-houses in which disorderly
women were living there were found In
each house an average of 24 children
under .the age of IS years and the com
mittee Is .collecting evidence which will
be utilized' to eliminate this ev!l;also in
vestigating the organized traffic in young
lrls by the co-called "cadet"' system.
The "recommendation is made "that ' In
each assembly district one suitable as
sembly hall shall he built, which shall be
kept, available for citizens' meetings, and
jit throws out a suggestion that these
'might be built In connection with the new
public libraries.

Eastern Part of the State and Wyom
ing Covered With, Wet Snow, -
DENVER, Colo., April U. The snow
storm which began Tuesday and con
tinued Intermittently Wednesday, devel
oped Into a blizzard during the night.
Throughout Eastern Colorado and Wy
oming the ground is covered with wet
snow to a depth of from one to two
feet. No serious damage has yet been
reported. The weather has been com
paratively warm. Should it become cold
er the wet snow will form a crust which
will make it impossible for cattle and
sheep to graze on the ranges, and in
that vent serious losses of livestock
may result.
Snow . continued to fall all the
forenoon as far east as Llmon.
Farther east rain gladdened the hearts of
the farmers. The storm has not seriously
Interfered with traffic on the Untan Pa
cific, Burlington or Rock Island railroads.
The Santa Fe train, which left Denver at
3:20 A. M was blockaded by drifts near
Sedalla. at 410 A. M. Five hours of fu
rious work were required to dig it out.
and It continued on its journey. Other
trains were delayed two to four hours on
the divide. All the roads are using huge
snow plows In an effort to keep their
tracks cleat. The mountain lines are run
ning two engines and a great Sanger over
the west sections.
A violent blizzard is raging In the Crip
ple Creek division. The mountain tops In
the Leadvllle district, especially between
the Cloud City and Como, are hidden in
a swirling white mass. Boreas Pass Is
burled. A correspondent there wires as'
follows:
"Snowing fearfully, melting rapidly,
very high wind, bad drifts. Snow five
feet deep on the level."
The telegraph, telephone and electric r
lighting companies have sustained consid
erable losses from falling wires. Street
cars have been operated In this city dur
ing the day with difficulty.
Pikes's Pcnk Region Bnrlcd.
COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo., Atirll 11.
The Pike's Peak region is burled under
two to 10 feet of snow, which fell In
about 12 hours, beginning at 9 o'clock last
night. The snow is deepest on the north
side of Pike's Peak, and over the trans
continental divide between this city and
Denver. A gale blowing 50 miles an hour
Is drifting the snow, and the Cripple
Creek mining district is blockaded. All
trains are three to six hours late be
tween here and Denver. The Santa Fe

with electric plows, the rapid transit sys
tem In this city was kept open. The
city schools were dismissed for the day

THE FLOW REDUCED.
Current In the Chicago River I Too
Strong1.
CHICAGO, April 11. The Post today
says:
"Federal authorities have ordered the
flow In the Chicago River reduced from
300,000 to 200,000 cubic feet a minute. Word
to this effect came from Washington to
the Sanitary Board today. The board
will act Immediately upon receipt of the
official order, and the current will not be
increased, as the channc has been wid
ened and deepened and existing obstruc
tions to navigation have been removed.
Action on the part of the War Depart
ment was brought about ny the protest
of local river Interests and the Lake Car
riers' Association, which, since the open
ing p? the big canal, have complained that
300,000 cubic- feet provided by c law Vaa
dangerous to navigation under present
conditions. Local authorities are appre
hensive of the effect It may, have upon
the St. Louls litigation. With the fu.ll
flow to dilute the sewage carried down
the canal from the Chicago River, the
board had no fear of the charge that Chi
cago was polluting the water supply of
St. Louis. In view of the action of the
War Department, the outcome of the St.
Louis appeal to the courts Is doubtful.
If the Legislature passear the bill author
izing the commission to collect one-half
of 1 per cent tax to be used for the Im
provement of the river. It is believed the
current can be increased gradually after
September, as the work of widening and
deepening the channel progresses. 'Other
wise it will be four or five years before
relief can he obtained."
