wearing; hats was a grave discourtesy
in the presence of the King's represen
tatives, .or even in the presence of other
uncovered members, and that members
should, anyway, be more careful of
their attire, and with - a withering;
glance, be pointed to Hall Caine as a
flagrant offender.
Just before his departure for parts
unknown, where he expects to write
another book, the author was Inter
viewed on the subject. He said:
"When I joined the House of Keys,
it was with the understanding: that I
would have to be absent a great deal of
the time, and I supposed, thatfmy fellow-islanders
would allow me to take a
tourist's license in the matter of dress
on my hurried visit there. I am a
busy man, and do not have time to
change clothes frequently. Besides, I
did not know before that we were so
careful about dress on the Isle of
Man."
Seeing that Hall Calne is the chief
product for which the island Is noted,
it is not improbable that he will be
allowed to dress as It pleases him.
Swadeshi Movement Has Gained
Strong Foothold and "India for
.'. Indians" 'Is the Cry on
Every Side.
LONDON, Jan. 25. (Special.) Writ
ing from Eastern Bengal, the strong
hold of the Swadeshi movement and the
home of -the boycott . against British
goods, which has been its necessary In
strument, a special correspondent de
scribes "exclusive dealing)" as he finds
It, with a vividness which must be
painful to some of his readers. The
boycott chiefly affects Manchester cot
tons and Liverpool salt. The origin of
the boycott the writer does not discuss,
except to say it was directly due
to the partition of Bengal, and that the
movement was designed to draw the at
tention of the English people to a feel
ing which the government of India
under Lord Curzon ignored.
We have the writer's word for It that
in every detail the boycott was thor
ough. Merchants and shopkeepers and
buyers alike were, called upon to have
no dealings with British goods. The
young men of the towns and villages
formed themselves Into associations to
preach the boycott. Shops that con
tinued the sale were surrounded by
groups that implored customers, for the
sake of their country, to go away. Boys
threw themselves prostrate in suppli
cation, as is the regular Indian way.
This was the only form of persuasion
used. But in some cases the British
goods were destroyed, though usually
they were first paid for.
The extension of the boycott from
the goods to the vendors of them,
marks the completion of the movement.
There is now no need to preach boy
cott or Swadeshi; everyone knows the
principle, even in the furthermost vil
lage of India. The political boycott on
British goods is becoming merged In
the much larger economic movement
of home rule, for the revival of all
pure,Ly Indian industries, and the meth
ods no, longer consist of appeals to
shopkeepers and customers, but of a
social boycott on the merchants who
still Insist on dealing in any foreign
goods, rather' than those of India.
The writer of the article recently
met a number of merchants, who had
large dealings In Manchester cottons,
and In consequence were generally
shunned. "Barbers would not shave
them, milkmen would not sell them
milk, friends would not come to their
daughters' marriages. It was distress
ing and Inconvenient. Would I please
set everything right as it was before?
They were martyrs to the cause of
British commerce."
The correspondent doubts if the
Swadeshi movement can now be ended
by any political reform, since It has
certain obvious economic advantages.
The watchword, "India for the Indi
ans," is Indeed becoming a very power
ful force in the Eastern Empire. A
high authority on Indian affairs said
the other day that within five years
will be the gravest possible situation
in India.,'
Spain Cementing English Tics.
LONDON'. Jan. 25. (Special.) Inquiries
among" Spanish Consular and commercial
circles in London make it clear that the
proposal of the Spanish Minister of Com
merce to hold an exhibition of Spanish
arts and industries in London in 1908 is
warmly welcomed by the Spanish colony
in the Metropolis as additional evidence
of the desire of King Alfonso to cement
yet more closely the entente that unites
the two countries. It isypointed out that
spam nas close commercial relationship
with Great Britain.
QUEEN OF SHEWS MIS
ARCHAEOLOGISTS DISPUTING AS
TO THEIR LOCATION.
UNITE TO HONOR MILTON
America Will Join England in Ter
centenary Celebration.
LONDON, Jab. 18. (Special to New
Tork times.) proposals of a definite na
ture for cemmemorating the tercentenary
of Milton will he laid before the British
Academy officials at the forthcoming
meeting, with especial reference to Amer
ican participation in the celebration. As
Milton was born in Broad street. Cheap-
side, on December 19, 1608, the tercenten
ary will take plaoe a little less than a
vear hence, and such early discussion of
the plans seems to 'indicate that the
event'will be celebrated on a grand scale.
One suggestion for the celebration Is
the production of "Comus," written when
'the poet was only 26. -Another suggestion
is that a Milton oration 'be endowed.
something after the manner of Harvey's
oration at the College of Physicians,
commemorating Harvey's discovery of the
circulation of the blood. St. Paul's
School, where Milton received his early
education and Christ College, Cam
bridge, where he afterward went, will, of
course, be invited to take a prominent
part in the commemoration ceremonies.
The suggestions for American participa
tion have not yet taken definite form.
but the supporters of the movement here
believe they can count on not only active
but enthusiastic support from the Amer
ican followers of the blind poet.
By an interesting coincidence another
name famous in English history, but In
another sphere. Is - also the subject of
discussion for a great celebration. The
question of observing the 60th annivers
ary of the announcement of the Darwin
ian theory has already been raised by
the council of the Linnean Society. It Is
especially appropriate that this society
should" have the initiation of any steps
thought desirable, as to it Darwin first
communicated his historic thesis.

LETTER TO THE PRESS:
One Maintains They ' Are on the
Zambesi River, Another Holds
They Are in Abyssinia.
LONDON. Jan. 18. A bitter archaeo
logical controversy is raging in Germany
over fhe exact location of the famous
gold mines of the Queen of Sheba. Dr.
Carl Peters, the well-known explorer
and former governor of German East
Africa, has been ' lecturing throughout
Germany to the effect that the Biblical
Ophir "gold region in Africa, according
to his discoveries, lies in the Zambesi
river. Baron von Falkenegg, also an
explorer of note, says that the theory of
Dr. Peters has been set up "in the in
terests of England."
Baron Falkenegg writes: "From the
Bible it is incontrovertibly clear that the
Queen of Sheba, 1. e.. Habesch, took the
land route over Arabia. From the Har
rar region, in the neighborhood of
Djibuti, she sailed to Yemen to some
southern Arabian point, and there or
ganized the great caravan. In all prob
ability, as ruler of Habesch, she was
also ruler . of southern Arabia."
Baron Falkenegg then discusses the
'colonial policy" which King Solomon, in
common with King Hiram of Phoenicia,
carried out.
'With his friend Hiram, the Phoeni
cian sea king, King Solomon established
colonies in Africa. The Phoenicians fur
nished the ships and the experienced
sailors, and the Jewish King supplied the
money and the soldiers.
'From what is today Tripoli, along all
the coasts of Africa, the Phoenicians had
their colonies, in northwest and south
east Africa, all the way to Habesch. The
remains of Phoenician structures of all
sorts abound throughout Africa.
'On that basis Dr. Peters rests his
arguments that the region of the 'Sim
babje' is the old legendary Ophir. The
gold ships came from" the land 'Ofir'
that Is, 'Africa.' The richest deposits,
however, were revealed in the Habesch
district, or what is today Abyssinia."
One result of the campaign will be cer
tain benefit to the Soudan, where it is
well known there exist great mineral
wealth and untold agricultural possi
bilities, the pioneer in exploring which
was probably the Austrian, Joseph Rus
segger, who, seventy years ago compiled
and illustrated fifteen gigantic volumes
on the subject.
Even now German capitalists and col
onizers are turning . their attention in
that direction; it was a German citizen
long resident in London. Charles Tuch
mann, who built the hotel at Khartoum
and commenced to interest British in
vestors. The efforts of the Hamburg-American
company in Nile navigation are also ap
pealing to German pride; and it is known
the prospector and the land developer
are beginning, on behalf of German in
terests, to appear in increasing numbers
in the Soudan.
HOPE IN PRIMARY SYSTEM
Book of Great Importance Written
by American in Germany. 1
BERLIN, Jan. 18, (by telegraph to
Cilfden, Ireland, thence by wireless.)
With a frontispiece jportrait of Senator
LaFollette of Wisconsin and with a dedi
cation "to that eminent statesman and
leader of Constitutional reform and faith
ful champion of the principles of a true
republic," a book is published in Leipsic
entitled "The Elective Office and Primary
Elections In the United States."
The author of the book is Ernst C.
Meyer. United States Consular Agent at
Sonneberg, Saxe-Meiningen, who cently
won the degree of Ph. D., at the Univer
sity .of Leipsic. Mr. Meyer's thesis at
the university attracted the attention
of Professor Karl Lamprecht one of
Germany's most sound and resourceful
historians who invited the young Ameri
can official to elaborate his' subject, and
make it into a volume In the special li
brary on the world's political systems,
which the professor is engaged in editing.
Mr. Meyer points out how the primary
election system in vogue in the United
States is destined eventually to lead to
the restoration of a true republic by en
abling the people to not only elect
their officials, as their "bosses'" have
permitted them to do heretofore, but
actually to nominate them. He asserts
that this mubt naturally lead to the
popularization of the Senate and a
greater popular voice In the selection of
Presidents.
The book wfll be issued simultaneously
In Germany, England and the United
States. '
. Dog Shoots His Master.
PARIS, Jan. 2o. (Special.) M. Le
tang, who was shooting at Lasallo,
near Dreux, recently, had Just killed a
rabbit with his first barrel and gone
forward with his dog to pick -it up,
when, as he bent down, the dog,
which bounded at the same moment on
the rabbit, struck the trigger, discharging
the gun and killing hie master instantly.
Father G. Tyrrell, Excommunicated
by Pope, Says Modernism Is the .
.Method of the Spirit,
Kather Than System.
ROME, Jan. 8. The Rev. ' George Tyr
rell, the. English ex-Jesuit, who has
been forbidden by the Pope to exercise
the functions of his office as a priest
of tho Roman Catholic Church on ac
count of his "modernism," has at
length replied to the recent Papal en
cyclical which condemned him and oth
er Catholic advocates of a modern in
terpretation of the Bible, the ancient
dogmas of the church, and the com
mentaries, real or apocryphal, of the
Fathers. The ex-Jesuit's reply is In
the form of a letter sent to. the press
of England and Italy. Its most strik
ing passages are as follows:
"Histories of the Blessed Virgin and
St. Joseph have been written, unham
pered by any historical evidence, so as
to yield and support certain dogmatic
conclusions; and church history or ha-,
giography written on the same lines '
has entailed wholesale manipulation
and suppression of inconvenient evi
dence. "The encyclical makes a valiant at
tempt to prove modernists guilty of a
like aprlorism as though two blacks
would make a white. It accuses them
of starting with a belief in the evolu
tion of religion, of the Scriptures, of
the church, with her dogmas and in
stitutions; and then of arranging evi
dence to accord with this hypothesis.
Only a profound ignorance of the huge
masses of irresistible evidence which
have forced the evolution hypothesis
not merely on the modernist, but on
the modern mind, could explain the.
desperate recklessness of such a
charge.
Modernism From Newman.
"To some extent, however, it is the
daring of desperation. The solidarity
of Newmanlsm with modernism cannot
be denied. Newman might have shud
dered at his progeny, but it is none
the less his. He is the founder of a
method which has led to results which
he could not have foreseen or desired.
The growth of his system has made
its divergence from scholasticism
clearer every day. No cause could live
on its rabble alone, and the cause of
obscurantism must have, and does,
numbers of sincerely convinced and en
thusiastic defenders to whom it owes
its vitality, and who lend respectabil
ity to its camp followers.
"To understand and believe in the
possibility of such sincerity it is first
necessary to realize that seminary
system of education to which the great
masses of the Catholic clergy owe their
mentality and which flourishes most vig
orously at Rome, the official center of the
Church. It Is a simple fact that in these
days, when the whole battle rages around
the Bible and ecclesiastical history, men
still can, and most often do, obtain the
doctorate in theology in complete and
grotesque ignorance of those two subjects.
Modernism is a method and a spirit rath
er than a system, a mode of Inquiry, not a
body of results. Here is its weakness
against the compact unanimity of Its ad
versaries. Modernism in a Deadlock.
''Modernists agree as to their point of
departure, as to the general method and
way; but their goal is below the horizon,
their rate of advance unequal, their
courses by no means parallel. Hence not
one of them will subscribe to all the posi
tions of his fellow-modernists; still less
will he accept the compact system fath
ered on him by the- encyclical. Not one
of them would die for the modernist In
terpretation of Catholicism which It con
demns. What, then, are the prospects of
modernism? Plainly, things are at a dead
lock. There Is everywhere and at all
times a blending of separate types of reli
gious faith, until a notable crisis brings
men suddenly face to face witn the neces
sity of a choice.'
"Once more, it must not be forgotten
(to put it crudely) that those who pay
for the piper will call for the tune. Mod
ern conditions make the ecclesiastical
body more and more dependent on the
purse of 'the harmless but necessary' lay
man, so unmercifully pulverized by the
encyclical. It is equally plain that, what
ever little temporary success methods of
police may have In protecting the semi
narian from the knowledge of awkward
facts, they will have none at all with the
layfolk of modernized countries. That the.
mediaeval interpretation of Catholicism
is doomed! Is far more evident than that
the various efforts of modernism to find
a reinterpretation will be successful."
LUNATIC TELLS OF ESCAPE
Writes Story of His Kclcase From a
British Asylum.
LONDON, Jan. 18. (Special to New
York Times.) The smartest lunatic
who ever escaped from an English asy
lum seems to be a well-known Hadley
man. Wearing a silk hat and frock
coat, he yesterday walked Into a news
paper office in Hadley, and, after writ
ing a thrilling story of how to elude
the vigilant attendants at the Stafford
shire County Asylum, asked the editor
to publish it.
According to his story, he waited for
a foggy night, and, when it came, after
loosening the screws in his cell win
dow, he destended to the ground bj
means of a rope ladder prepared in ad
vance. Ho then made a visit to Stock
port and called upon the poor law of
ficials for the- purpose of looking "over
the lunacy law.
After learning that a lunatlii could
not be apprehended after 14 days of
liberty unless a fresh order should bo
made out against him. he gave himself
up to unrestrained celebration of the
new year. He complained in his story
that the asylum system was too prison -like
that it discouraged and depressed
him. .. ., ,
