ROOT'S MONROEISM
The War Secretary's Speech
Causes European Comment.
POSSIBLE TROUBLE WITH GERMANY
Speculation as to the Result of a.
Conflict Betwen the Tiro Nations
The Week: la London.
LONDON. May 5. Hopelessly, but In
terestingly, intermingled with, the count
less war questions are matters of Ameri
can Internal and external policy. These
are receiving a meed of notice that de
lights the heart of him who fears that
the United States is not a factor In the
affairs of Europe. The visit of the Boer
delegates Is perhaps more responsible for
this phase than any other factor, but Sec
retary Root's declaration for an aggres
sive Monroe doctrine comes In for a large
share of comment
The absence of any developments In the
American controversy with Turkey has
resulted In that matter being banished
from the serious probabilities, and no Idea
Is entertained in England that It will re
stilt seriously.
Regarding the Boer delegates, the Spec
tator and the Outlook voice current Eng
lish opinion, the former saying that there
Is no fear that the Americans will be
taken in, more especially as It is very
doubtful whether the delegates have any
power to bind either President Kruger or
the Volksraad.
Secretary Root's Monroeism utterances
are dealt with in a long article In the
Spectator, which maintains that "the War
Secretary's explanation that he was speak
ing academically must be taken Into ac
count, and that he deserves praise for
speaking as frankly as he did." The ar
ticle continues:
"The American who takes the trouble
to look the facts in the face cannot fat
to see that the doctrine cannot be sup
ported on tall talk. America must not
imagine that If she ever gets in a serious
controversy with a great Continental pow
er she will be treated as Lord Salisbury,
with the full consent of the nation, treat
ed her. Here we should dread a victory
over America, supposing we were able to
obtain it. only one degree less than de
feat. But it is idle to suppose that the
Continental powers Germany, for example
would take such things into considera
tion. Granted she wanted to Infringe
upon the Monroe doctrine, Germany" would
simply consider whether America had
physical power to maintain it. If she had
not, America's historical claims would not
be held to be worth a straw."
The Spectator then goes on to say that
no power would dream of invading Amer
ica but Germany. The paper adds:
"For example, the latter country might
get into a dispute with Brazil and pre
pare to occupy its territory. If America
should -wish to enforce the Monroe doc
trine! she must be able to destroy the
German fleet. Her present officers and
men are as good as possible. They have
superiors nowhere, and equals only In the
sister navy of Great Britain. But there
are too few of them."
Regarding the strength, of her forces.
tne paper says:
"Clearly, if while Germany Is building
ships, America is doing little or nothing,
Amerca will not be in a position to fetter
Germany's will or to tell her that she shall
not make what terms she likes with the
South American powers."
The debate on the publication of Splon
fcop dispatches, which has redeemed an
uninteresting week in Parliament from
hopeless lnnocuousness, has only revealed
the government's utter lack of tact. "With
no serious case to face and with the army
regulations to Justify their action, they
.appealed through Mr. Balfour to senti
ment and based their plea -on the duty of
the Conservatives to protect Lord Lans
downe's personal honor. By eo doing,
though naturally they carried the day,
they damaged a case that even partial
observers considered open to various con
structions and added fuel to the feud be
tween Buller and Roberts, that both w 1th
the public and in the service threatens to
rival the Sampson-Schley controversy.
The fact that the Bank of England Is
eparontly unwilling to advance New York
exchange, which Is leading many Amer
ican banks to ehlp their gold for the ben
efit Of their American customers at the
Exposition, Is made the subject of a strik
ing protest in many of the financial pa
pers this week. Not only that, but the
financial experts now recognize the fact
that whatever the United States has been
In the past, she ia now a gold-lending
country, and, as a leading article In the
Statist points out, has financed Germany
fcr more than a year and is employing
her balances apparently now all over Eu
rope. "With the stringency in gold in
Europe, Great Britain Is exceedingly anx
ious to cultivate the American eagle, and
if Prance proves a greater attraction for
American surplus "wealth, the matter is
likely to prove serious Indeed.
"Without extraordinary supplies from
some direction," says the Statist, "It
is only too likely that the second half of
1K will be uncomfortable in Germany."
That the United States has gold
enough to supply all the needs of Eu
rope there Is no question. Were the Bank
of England willing to gie facilities for
gold Imports at a profit, the Statist thinks
.London and not Parts might yet secure
thla coveted American eagle.
This has been a week of dinners
end speeches, the latter quite Inferior
to the former. So long had Ireland
been monopolizing gaiety that Lon
don had almost forgotten how to celebrate
and was threatened with a period of de
pression under the cloud of war and
mourning. But, now that the royalties
and their suites have trooped back across
the Irish Channel, many with just a
tinge of brogue, seml-polltlcal and pri
vate dinners have made tho nights of
the metropolis gay, while the racing at
Newmarket scarcely ever before drew a
more fashionable attendance.
The victor of the Prince of Wales,
whose horse. Diamond Jubilee, won the
2000 guinea stakes Wednesday, added
to the enthusiasm, and the great race
course became the promenade for the
most aristocratic personages In the coun
try, who chatted, bet, lunched and cheered
Just as heartily as though there was
no death struggle being waged on the
plains of South Africa, Among those at
Newmarket were the Prince cf Wales, the
King of Sweden. Prince Christian of
Schleswlg-Holstein. the Duke of Cam
bridge, the Duke and Duchess of Devon
shire, Lord and Lady Howe, Lord and
Lady Rothschild, and almost all the lead
ing members of the nobility, and, In ad
dition a sprinkling of Americans, which
included Richard Croker and Reginald
Ward, the latter being the guest of Lord
and Lady Howe.
Though late In beginning, the season
promises to be brilliant, unless unexpect
ed war reverses knock out the hearts of
the people. The first drawing-room will
be held May 1L at which the Queen will
be present, and will be brilliantly attend
ed. The second drawing-room, set down
for May 11. wlji coincide with the first
night of the opera, and will doubtless be
a great society occasion. The Prince of
Wales and a long list of royalties and
other prominent personages have re-engaged
their usual boxes, which ensures a
good operatic season.
The Queen's birthday. May 24, In addi
tion to being marked by unusual publlo
rejoicing, will be made the occasion for
a great National bazaar for the army so
cieties, which will be patronized by all
the members of the royal family.
Of the recent dinners, none was more
striking than the banquet given at the
Hotel Cecil, Monday evening last, by the
British Empire League in honor of the
Colonial troops In South Africa, and of
the Australian Federation delegates, when
the Prince of. Wales made-his first public
appearance after the attempt to assas
sinate him. As he rose to reply to a toast,
he received a tremendous ovation. He
was unusually pale, and 'the nervous tone
in which he said, "We are all In the hands
of God," betrayed the Intense emotion he
was undergoing. But, as the gorgeous
banquet proceeded, Great Britain's future
King regained that geniality for which
he is distinguished, and mirthful laugh
ter prevailed at the royal table.
His Royal Hlrhness also, on this occa
sion. Inaugurated a custom which may be
come popular at large public dinners
where the guests are so numerous that
they can scarcely recognize each other.
With his coffee and cigars the Prince's
special attendant brought him a huge pair
of field glasses, with which he carefully
scrutinized the long tables and the galaxy
of bejeweled women who filled the bal
conies In order to hear the speeches.
Prince Katohlto, of Japan, Is having a
busy time In London, combining an In
spection of rapid-fire and other gun works
and various military researches, with vis
Its to the Queen, the Prince of Wales
and Lord Salisbury. Prince Katohlto U
a cousin of the Emperor of Japan, who
adopted him. He is now a cavalry Col
onel in tho Japanese Army, having re
ceived his education In France. The
Prince will leave London May S, and will
visit the principal European courts, ap
parently with the semi-official purpose of
strengthening the cordiality between the
Mikado and the European sovereigns.
Many preparations are on foot for tho
yachting season, which, though It may
not be productive of particularly good rac
ing, will none the less be patronized by
those who make yachting an amusement
rather than a sport. The steam yacht
White Ladye, formerly owned by Mrs.
Langtry, Is fitted out sumptuously for the
reception of Lawson Johnston and his
bride, nee Dunlap, of New York, who will
take an extended cruise. The famous
Herreshoff-bullt cutter Isolde, which was
recently sold at auctlpn In London,
brought tho low figure of 230.
Ono of the most notable sales of
works of art in London began May 3,
when the collection of the late Mra
Bloomfield Moore, of Philadelphia, was
sold at auction. A pair of Sevres vases,
which once belonged to Mme. de Pompa
dour, brought 1122, while a rosewater
ewer realized no less than 2362.
The decisions of the Archbishops of
Canterbury and York, made public May
1, on the subject of the reservation
of the sacrament. In which they said
they were obliged to decide that
the Church of England did not allow res
ervation In any form, and that those be
lieving it ought to be permitted, while
Justified in endeavoring to get the
law altered, were not Justified. In
practicing reservation until the law
was changed, has created wide
spread speculation among the laity and
clergy regarding the outcome. The ex
treme ritualists have always demurred
against civil authority, but the conten
tions are now under the ban of the high
est episcopate which they swore to obey
when ordained. Yet it does not appear
that they are more -willing to give up their
practices than before.
As the Dally Graphic, which is a
churchman's paper, says, "It, needs no
gift of prophecy to foretell that the Church
of England cannot continue as an organ
ized body if any large section of the
clergy follow the advice of tho extreme
ritualists. If the high church clergy
claim to bo a law unto themselves they
must either leave the church or shatter
It"
Many churchmen and conservative pa
pers not engaged In the controversy are
seriously considering the question of dis
establishment, a remedy hitherto so re
pugnant to them that they would scarcely
discuss 1L
The Government of Great Britain this
week sent two men to the deadliest spot
on earth, with instructions to stay there
all Summer and see if they can keep them
selves olive. If they return the most fatal
disease next to consumption will be at the
mercy of science. The men who risk their
lives are Dr. Sambon and Dr. Lowe, of the
School of Tropical Medicine, attached to
tho Colonial Office. The disease they aro
going to Investigate Is malarial fever,
which kills more people annually than
cholera, bubonic plague or any other
scourge save consumption.
Tho moat deadly spot selected is the
Roman Campagna, where no man can stay
on a Summer night without contracting
.malaria. Many doctors declare mosquitoes
responsible for spreading the malarial In
fection. The British Government wants
to prove It; hence this daring experiment
by two volunteers. They have built a
mosquito-proof house, and will stay in It
during the hours when malaria-bearing
mosquitoes are about.
Most of the theaters are doing remark
ably welL The fashionable successes of the
day are the -comedy "Kitty Gray," at the
Vaudeville, with Ellis Jeffreys and Miriam
Clements in the cast, and Carlton's new
comedy. "Lady Huntworth's Experiment,"
at the Criterion. In which Miss Compton
again achieves great success, and Gertrude
Elliott, In a minor part, also continues to
win the applause of the English critics.
These two plays, with tho Gaiety and
Daly's, are absorbing most of the fashion
able patronage; but the Garrick. with
"Zaza," and a number of other nouses
are crowded nightly.
Three lady managers are about to enter
tho .field, of theatrical enterprise. Marie
Tempest will forsake musical for serious
comedy, and appear as Nell Gwynne In
Anthony Hope's and Edward Rose's adap
tation of Hope's novel, "Simon Dale," Ju
lia Neilson will also present Kester's play,
dealing with the adventures of the same
actress, when Harrison and Maude vacate
the Haymarket for the Summer holidays,
and Jeannette Steer is to open the Comedy
Theater with a play by Charles Brook

Mnch Destruction Caused at Wilson
ville. OMAHA, May 5. A special to the Bee
from Wllsonvllle. Neb., gives the most
meager details of a terrlffic gale, accom
panied by heavy rain and hail, that swept
that section this evening. Much destruc
tion is known to have resulted, but how
much cannot be told until daylight comes
to aid the searchers. In the north part
of the town one house was blown down,
the occupants escaping. A Presbyterian
Church was destroyed, and many barns
and outbuildings demolished.
In the country along the path of the
storm, ruin Is widespread. Several farm
houses were blown to pieces, and a num
ber of people Injured. So far as is known
no one was killed.
Popnlint Ltivr Unconstitutional.
TOPEKA, Kan.. May E. In a decision
handed down today, the Supremo Court
declared the law creating the Court of
Visitation unconstitutional. The opinion
was written by Justice Smith, and Is

Justice Doster dissenting. The Court of
Visitation was created during the Populist
administration, two years ago, for the
purpose of hearing complaints against the
railroads and other corporations.

YALE-BERKELEY GAMES
RESULTED EC VICTORY FOR THE
XEW HAVEN TEAM.
Californlans Toole Three Events ana
Tied in Another National Leagne
Scores Running Races.
NEW HAVEN, Cong., May 5. The dual
track athletic meet between Yale and
the University or California today re
sulted In a well-earned victory for Yale,
with eight firsts and one tie to her credit
The visitors took three events and fed in
another. Technically, the score would bo
written SJ4 to 3. The Yale track ath
letes proved stronger than even the best
informed had believed. The Californlans
put up a game fight to the finish in every
event, except the half-mile. In which their
man. Service, was run off his feet and
loped to the tape with Smith, of Yale,
a good E0 yards ahead of him. Pynter, of
Yale, had given our earlier, having set a
clip for the others that wore him out.
Yale won the 220-yard dash, the 410-yard
dash, the half-nille, the mile, the 120
yard hurdle, the 220-yard hurdle, the shot
put, the pole vault and tied In the broad
Jump. California took the 100-yard dash,
the hammer throw, the high Jump and
tied In the broad Jump. In the latter a
surprisingly low record, even for the Yale
Jumpers, was made. Considering the
strong head wind that buffeted the run
ners and the rather unfavorable cold air,
both teams did well In the eprinting events.
If anything, the cold favored Yale, for
her men were used to It
In the 220-yard dash, a little Incident oc
curred that was Indicative of the sports
manlike attitude of tho Californlans and
of the friendly feeling existing between
the two universities. Boardman was
nervous on his mark and got a false start
The starter called him back to penalize
him a yard. Cadogan, the Callfornlan,
declined to take this advantage, and
Boardman was permitted to start on the
scratch.
Plaw came so close to breaking his own
record in the hammer-throw that it was
universally regretted that he fouled by
stepping outside tho circle when he tossed
the hammer 152 feet y actual measure
ment A moment later Clark, of Yale,
committed the same technical offense on
a good but not so distant throw, and had
to bo content with a rather low record.
Stlllman, who had been counted as a pos
sible close adversary for Plaw, disap
pointed all by doing very poor work, ow
ing to nervousness.
The visitors did not, it is felt, do them
selves tho full Justice that would have
been possible on a warm day. The same
Is true t Yale, however. Tho opinion
was exp.-essed by competent Judges, tho
Californlans themselves; that Yale's team
would have won out though not by so
large a score. To Yale the encouraging
reaturo was the work of Weston, the
freshman, in tho distance running, and of
Thomas, in tho hurdles, high and low.
Tho summary of events Is as follows:
100-yard dash Cadogan, California,
first: Richards, Yale, second; time,
0:10 3-5.
120-yard hurdle Thomas, Yale, first;
Hamlin, California, second; time, 0:16 4-5.

METROPOLITAN HANDICAP.
Won by Ethelbert, Box Second, Imp
Third.
NEW YORK, May 5. Ethelbert, of t&e
Perry Belmont stables, with Danny
Mahcr up. won the Metropolitan handicap
at Morris Park today, before 20,000 people.
Ho was favorite In the betting, and won
by three lengths. Box taking second place
by a neck from Imp. There was never a
greater crowd at the Metropolitan handi
cap than today. A year ago Ethelbert
was beaten for the Metropolitan by Flll
grane, when It was thought he had a rare
chance to win, but today, when his owner
and his trainer thought he was not up to
the race, he galloped homo with a good
bit to spare, making the other horses
look like selling-platers, followed In by
the uncertain Box, while the great mare
Imp finished third.
The great crowd cheered the horses en
thusiastically as they marched to the
post. Starter Fitzgerald got them In line
at once, and they were sent away In per
fect line on the first break There was
no delay to affect the top weights, so all
had an equal chance. Half Time broke
In front, with Ethelbert close behind. Box
third and Ilderim fourth. As the horses
settled Into their strides, Spencer sent
Voter to the front and ho was running,
free In that position as they went past"
the first furlong pole. He had but a head
the better of Contestor, the lightweight
and the much-played Waring was third.
Maher had taken Ethelbert hack Into
sixth place, and was holding him in good
position for the finish. At the quarter,
pole there was no change In position.
Voter and Contestor running heads apart
a length in front of the others, who were
well bunched behind them. As they pre
pared to round Into the new track. Voter
began to open up a gap, and, as they
rushed around the turn into the homa
stretch. It looked as if it would be Voter
first and the others far behind. Suddenly
Maher seemed to wake up on Ethelbert
and as the flying horses rounded the turn
Maher came flashing around on the out
side, and In the flashing of an eye Ethel
bert had poked his nose in front of the
whole band and. gradually increased his
distance. It was a grand race for six
furlongs, and then a procession, with the
crack 3-year-old of 1S99 leading it. The

A WHOLESALE BURIAL.
Interment of Victims of the Scoaeld
Disaster.
SALT LAKE, Utah, May B A special
to the Herald from Scofield, Utah, says:
A volume of agonizing scenes and inci
dents attended the burial of the 109 vic
tims of tho mine disaster today. The
wholesale burial has gone on all day. The
bodies were taken to the cemetery by
trains of wagons, and a man stood at the
gate and checked from a long list thtf
names of the bodies In the caskets that
were taken in. The graves' were all kept
open until after the services had been
performed over them, and the actual work
of covering them up did not begin until
after 4 o'clock. The Knights of Pythias
and Odd Fellows administered their rites
In the forenoon over a few members
buried in different parts of the cemetery.
In the afternoon the main services were
held. When the train from Salt Lake ar
rived, bringing the L O. O. F. grand offi
cers, a procession was formed at the
depot The Odd Fellows led, 50 or 75
strong, and as the cemetery gates were
entered they divided Into two lines, allow
ing the Knights to pass between them and
perform their ceremony first. In the cen
ter of a group of 35 graves stood Grand
Prelate G. R. Stoney and Rev. W. Daunt
Scott while the crowd of mourners en
circled the "acre of graves. The impres
sive prayers concluded, the Pythians came
forward and cast evergreens Into the
graves, and then made way for the L O.
O. F. While the lodges were officiating,
the Mormon church representatives were
dedicating the graves of their dead. Fifty
more bodies are yet to be burled.
Five additional bodies were brought out
of No. 4 mine this morning. They are:
Richard T. Reese. Alfred Warile, L. KIl
enclo, J. Lundgren and Clyde Law. The
bodies were horribly mutilated and burned
so that identification was difficult. The
bodies of Thomas Padfleld, Ed Street, J.
C. Hunter and John Pitman are still In
the mine. These, with the unidentified
Finns. taken out brings the total up to
exactly 250. No others are known to be
missing, and It Is believed that all the
men have now been accounted for.
In Tesponse to many inquiries from citi
zens of the United States, and from
numerous firms and corporations outside
of Utah, addressed to the Governor and
other citizens of Utah, making generous
proffers of financial assistance for the
stricken families of the victims of the

HOW CARTER MAY FARE
FIGHT BETWEEN DALY' AND CLARK
MAY CRUSH HIM.
Possibly He May Urge Both of Them
as a Reason Xov Redemption
of the State to Decency.
WASHINGTON, May 2. A. good deal of
Interest attaches to the effect the action
of the Senate committee on the Clark case
will have upon the political fortunes of
Senator Carter, of Montana. Carter ha3
becomo a very prominent figure in the
Senate since he has been here, and his
position on committees is superior to
that of any other Senator of equal length
of service. Of course It Is realized that
Carter represents -a state-which has large
ly gone over to the silver men, owing to
the great amount of silver produced from
tho mines. More than that, for years
everybody In the state was for free silver,
and It Is pretty hard, to turn a state the
other way. Yet the friends of Carter
bellevo that on jl straight election he
could win on account of the settlement
of tho silver question, and the common
sense of the people who Inhabit the state,
who do not believe In the wild fantastic
Ideas of Bryan, and who do not want to
see the state turned over to Populism.
But now a different situation arises.
Clark: will no doubt seek, vindication. Tho
Daly gang has determined not only to de
feat Clark In his attempt at tho vindica
tion, but It also has determined to elect
two United States Senators which It can
control. There was considerable truth in
some of tho testimony which .was given
by the Clark people, to the effect that a
struggle was In progress to wrest the
state from tho control of Daly. That fight
must continue. It Is evident that tho Daly
men intend to couple Carter's name with
Clark as far as possible. The talk of the
Daly representatives here Is to the effect
that Carter has not done all he should, or,
to put it In other words, "Carter has
acted kind of queer." This means that
Carter has not taken occasion to abuse
Clark In every way, and has not assisted
In tho fight any more than to present
the memorial charging corruption In tho
caso of Clark's election. It is feared by
Republicans here that Carter may be
crushed in the llfe-and-death struggle
which the Clark and Daly factions will
make in Montana, especially as the un
limited use of money will no doubt con
tinue. There Is a possibility, however,
that Carter can get out and make a fight
for his election, appealing to the people of
Montana to repudiate both the Clark and
Daly factions, elect a Republican Legisla
ture, and get back to common honesty
and decency In politics.
Bryanltes "Want Instructed. Delegates
The mysterious movements of the Demo
crats In Ohio, New York, Maryland and
soma of the other Eastern states Is giv
ing the Bryanites a great deal of concern.
The belief is openly expressed that John
R. McLean Intends to manipulate the Ohio
convention so as to throw that delegation
to Dewey, in case It would defeat Bryan
or nominate Dewey. Of course, a great
deal of credence is given to this story,
because Dewey Is a brother-in-law of Mc
Lean, and the belief Is general that Mc
Lean would be the power behind the
throne If Dewey should ever happen to
get into the White House. .
In New York there is great consterna
tion among the Bryanites because of tho
active Interest which David B. Hill Is said
to be taking In politics. Hill Is one of 'the
unfathomable men to tho Democratic
party, especially to that silver wing which
once, supported him as against Cleveland,
but which Is deadly opposed to him be
cause of his action at the Chicago con
vention, when he opposed the Popullstic
platform, and would not allow New York
to participate In tho campaign. There
has been some intimation that Hill Is In
favor of Bryan now, and this makes the
Bryanlte3 somewhat scared. The fact that
efforts are being made In several states to
prevent Instructed delegates has caused
some anxiety among the Bryan men. Of
course, it is known that if Gorman does
not want Instructions for Maryland It will
not be given, and if Croker, Hill and
Murphy unite in New York, the same will
be true of that state. It Is yet doubtful
whether McLean can prevent an instruct
ed delegation from Ohio, but the belief
Is general that the machine in his hand
will be ablo to do so.
"Will Croker Abdicate?
Report is current In the East that Dick
Croker, long a political boss in New York,
will renounce his allegiance to the United
States and become an English subject.
Nobody believes this to be true, although
Croker may abandon New York politics.
