PERIL OF AN UPHEAVAL Loyalty to the Emperor a Bond of Union That Keeps the Discordant Members of the Empire Together. His Lack of Tact and Tolerance '. Is Deplored London, Sept. SO. The Hungarian re volt has taken a still more serious as pect this week and the situation causes grave uneasiness throughout Europe. The uncompromising attitude bf rEm peror Francis Joseph in . last, Satur day's interview with the Hungarian leaders had an intense provocative ef fect upon his subjects in his second kingdom, with the result that the crisis, which was already serious, became one of immediate peril. - , - The .burden of years and the weari ness of responsibility have tended to make the stern old emperor less toler ant and tactful in dealing with his difficult problem- He -seems scarcely to realize that personal loyalty to him self is the only bond remaining which holds the two countries together and that his strongest weapon for main taining the Integrity of the dual mon archy is an appeal to his people's affection.- There is a probability that he .will now modify to some extent the rigdrousnsss of his attitude while not abandoning his position "regarding the points In dispute. His Austrian ad visers, who are thoroughly alarmed by the critical nature of the situation, have become more conciliatory in the past day or two than the "'sovereign himself, : and the danger of an imme diate breach, due to the excitement void - iHjpula passion,' has-1 siiglrfciy di minished. It is true, nevertheless, that a vast majority of the Hungarian peo ple have joined the party of independ ence. Real concessions, must be made by the emperor, or he will be com pelled to govern Hungary, by military force without a parliament. The situa tion would speedily result in armed re-r sistance, and then ijothing would avert the .cataclysm which Europe has been dreading as the greatest of calamities for the past thirty years'. It was this 16oming peril more than anything else which induced Germany to abandon renewed hectoring of France and refer all questions regarding the Morocco dispute to the coming conference. The best judgment on the whole is that the time for this great rupture, with its attendant danger to Euro pean peace, is not yet. The Austro Hungarian empire will hold together in some shape so long as the emperor r refrains from the use of the arms of one country in the attempt to coerce the other. He, no doubt, is" irritated, despondent and Indifferent to the con sequences, in a degree, but his wisdom and humanity can hardly allow him to resort to that fatal expedient. THE SCOURGE SUBDUED V New Orleans Almost Free From Yellow Fever New Orleans, Sept. 30. The Louisi ana, state board of health and Dr. White of the United States marine hos pital service have invited all the Lou isiana towns to withdraw their quar antine against New Orleans, telling thein that it is perfectly safe. A num ber of new cases of -yellow fever re ported from New Orleans are cases om the country which are brought here because of the superior advan tages in treatment . All the public schools except one and all tho private and parochial sghools in New Orleans will open or. pupils Monday. On tho other hand in Mis sissippi the fever situation is stiU so strong that the opening of the schools fixed for Monday has been ' postponed two weeks in towns like Jackson and Meridian. , CUBAS TROUBLES Liberal Leader Severely ; Arraigns the Palma Government , Havana, Sept. 30th. A meeting of the leaders of ' the Liberty party was held yesterday morning at General Jose .Miguel Gomez's rooms in the Ho tel Telegrafo. Gomez said tV his friends that before taking any hasty decision they ought to . consider caltn ly the situation. "I do not approve,'' he said, " of a revolution, but the gov ernment assassinates the Liberals, ar' rests our friends under false charges, and we have no hope of Justice from judges and magistrates that do : not recognize other law than the secre tary of government's will.

Seven Children Cambridge. 111., Sept. 30. Today neighbors of William Markum discov ered that the Markum house was on Are. Hastening there to assist in sub duing the flames, they saw the bodies of Mrs. Markum and her seven 'child ren lying inside the burning building, covered with blood. They succeeded in pulling the bodies from the flames only to find them all horribly gashed. All were apparently dead, but signs of life were discovered in the. woman and she was restored to consciousness. She at first said a strange man killed j the children and then set the house on j fire, but later, just before she died, sho ; confessed that she had killed the child- j ren with a hatchet and had attempted J to kill herself, but failing had set the! house on fire. V After her death, a letter was found addressed to her husband, telling him she was going to kill herself and the children; that she loved him and the children, but believed they would be better off. and safer in the arms of the Lord than they were on earth. NEW TO BE CHAIRMAN Reported Affluence of the Republi can Committee Is Mythical . Washington, I. C, Sept. 30. Harry S. New of Indiana will come into his political inheritance as acting chair man of the Republican national com mittee next week. The delay in turn ing over the affairs to Mr. New was occasioned by Chairman Cortelyou's desire to settle several contests and the necessity of his settling the committee- obligations that were outstand ing. The talk that has been going around about a big surplus in the com mittee coffers has, worked embarrass ment to the retiring, chairman... .Tho Republican committees in those states which have elections this year have been begging him for money which he did not have, ahd some of the commit tee's creditors have become bolder in their demands. In the midst of ' all came the newspaper talk that the pres ident would j-equest Chairman Cortel you to. turn back the contributions made by the big insurance companies. Had the ' president made any such a demand on the committee it is claimed that it could not have been c.a.rH out while the conditions remajnu s,s they are. Gillespie Not Guilty Wilmington, N.

NTS ANOTHER HOUR The President Will Be Asked to Prolong His Visit CAN MAKE UP THE TIME Judge Boyd Refrains From Talking About Revenue Cases Represent ative Thomas Wants Legislation to Regulate Private Car Lines. Views on Other Matters By THOMAS J. PENCE Washington, Sept. 30. Special. The schedule of the president's southern trip, which was exclusively published in this correspondence Wednesday, will be submitted to Mr. Roosevelt Monday, when a decision will, it Is exp.ected, be reached then with reference to tho pro posed trip to New Orleans. There will be very few changes in the schedule already prepared, and It will stand ma terially as published. It was 'learned today that an effort will be made this week to induce the president to remain in Raleigh an hour longer. The special committee of citizens from the capital city, which is scheduled for an audi ence with Mr. ' Roosevelt at the White House on Tuesday, will doubtless "take up this matter. As at present arranged the president's special will leave Ra leigh at 1 p. m., October 19th', but It is 'claimed that the departure; of the train at 2 p. ni. will not interfere with the other engagements in North Caro-4 Una or the schedulejin other. cities as at present arranged. It is pointed out that the time can easily be made up. If the pisident Moes not go to New Orleans thd Arkansas, the schedule calls, for his return to Washington Oc tober 25th' at 5 p. m. The trip in that event will last one week, and Mobile, Ala., will be the farthest point south included in the schedule.. . ' 1 lodge Boyd nd Revenue Ca$$ Judge James E . Boyd, who is to preside at the term of federal court in Greensboro next week, when the revenue officials and others charged with violating federal statutes, are-to be placed on trial, spent the day here. He will return home tomorrow, morn ing. Judge Boyd called at the depart ment of internal revenue - during the day and chatted with Commissioner Yerkes,- but there is ample authority for the statement that the internal revenue cases were not discussed. The call wai purely a social one on Judge Boyd's part. ' If District Attorney Holton has ask-, ed for the assignment of counsel In the prosecution of the revenue cases to be tried at Greensboro next week, nothing is known of the request at the j department of justice. - Assistant District Attorney McCurdy, who is acting attorney general this week, said tonight that he had received no such request. This doss not mean that such an -appeal has not been made, for as Mr. McCurdy said, Mr. Holton may have communicated with Assistant At- torney General Robb, who has had su pervision of the Investigation "that is being made in North Carolina by fe cial agents of the department of jus tice. Mr. Robb went to St. - Louis last Monday arid Mr." McCurdy admittel that he had no "knowledge as to his plans for the-coming week. Before leaving here Mr. Robb informed this correspondent that -he had absolute confidence in Holton's ability to han dle these cases, and unless it is made apparent that" there. Is urgent necessity for his appearance in Greensboro, he is not . likely to be there when court opens next week. . ' The department of Internal revenue wlll .be represented at the trit of the cases next week by Millard :F. West. He left this afternoon with papers and records from the department here in response to "a subpoena from Dis trict Attorney Holton. Reprsentatlve Charles R. Thomas of the third' district arrived today. He will, remain until Monday. He bas. a number of matters before the depart ments, which are engaging his atten tion.' Mr. Thomas is more deeply in terested in the subject of railway leg islation than, any other one thing just now. ; '; ; '' ; Mr. Thomas Discusses Various Matters "I hope at this session of congress," said Mr. .Thomas, "to see legislation enacted that will place the refrigera tor caf companies and private car lines under the jurisdiction ; of the in terstate .commerce commission. I do not care who owns these private car lines, .but I .want, to see the commis sion given the power j to say what rates are fair and just. This is a sub ject close to the people of my section. I doubt whether ' any district in the United States gives greater patronage to' private car lines than my own. Remedial legislation is needed; I shall offer an amendment to the proposed railway rate measure, which,- in my opinion will moet the requirements of the situation." -4 ilr. Thomas spent a Yfry busy, day En & it fnviT A KALrJin i I at- the departments looking- after some river and harbor matters and postal matters. He has secured the promise of the revenue cutter "service that he shall have the privilege : of naming the revenue ; cutter Tor . which he se- cured an appropriation of. $175,000. This cuttcr he proposes to name Pamlico, after the sound , and county of that name. .- - : Monday Mr. Thomas will see the chief 1 engineer at the war depart j ment with reference to river and har bor Improvements in his district. ThS government is going ahead with the work of dredging fBeaufort harbor and tho Neuse river in keeping with the provisions of the river and harbor-bill enacted by the last congress. When this i work is completed "Beaufort ' will have a harbor with a twenty-foot depth and the Neuse a channel witha depth of eight feet at low tide. Mr. Thomas Is anxious to see that . the work undertaken is continued without interruption. The congressman from the socond has given a good deal of attention to the subject of immigration. Speaking along this line, he said: . , - '"I would like to see some amendment of the immigration laws which will effectually, exclude suqh. European la bor as . competes with -American labor. More than a million Poles," Hungarians and Russians were immigrants to this country within the past year. We need a good class of immigrants to meet the labor situation in the south, but the lower order of European labor we do not need, and it should "be excluded." "Lam also interested," he continued, "in ille subject jji which I addressed the house at the last session, in obtain ing such reciprocal agreements with foreign countries as will ' expand our trade and give us new and wider mar kets; especially for- southern products, such as cotton seed- oil. If the 'stand pat Republicans are m control' and there can be no legislation looking to tariff revision, certainly something can be done in the way of reciprocity with other countries in view 'of the rietalla tory measures adopted by France, Ger many and other European nations. "The negotiation and ratification of the proposed Kasson treaty with France would be Of untold benefit to the people of the5TJuth and the. whole Country." The congressman was jadvised that he has only nine applications for rural free delivery, all the other applications in his district having been .disposed of. These will be taken up very soon. Private Train for the President Congress may be asked to appropri ate a sum of money sufficient to build a traia of private ,cars for the exclu sive use- of the president. Railroad men who are in this city say this -is the only logical way 6i meeting the question as to . who is to stand the president's traveling expenses. The matter has been revived by a recent publication that a railroad had a set price of $50 a day, to carry out a schedule submitted by Secretary Loeb, and having been told thk.t this amount was considered exorl-ltant the company then said the only alternative was to offer to transport Mi. Roosevelt free of charge. It is said that the president was an noyed by tne publication that he had paid from his personal purse the trav eling expenses of his Colorado trip. It is understood that he thinks a dis tinction should be made .between jour neys made in his personal capacity and as president. ' -j, Today's arrivals included- Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Mdver.,of Sanfdrd and J. Sam Wright, v Gulf Hurricane Subsides New Orleans, Sept. 30. The gulf hurricane, which has prevailed here for four days, ended today, having done very little damage. In some respects the. storm was the worst for ' many years. The water in Lake Ponchai trairi was higher than It has been since 1894, a six-foot tide prevailing at Man devllle, the heaviest ever known. Many families on the north side of the lake and' at Bayou Lacombe were driven from their homes to higher land. The fishing camps were all under water, and so was most of the lake front bank of New" Orleans. Over ten inches of rain fell. There was no loss of life and small damage to property.

This was positively stated by the Pinkerton's this after noon. The fact lends still more color to ' theory that those with the loot never intended to dispose of it, at least in this vicinity, and probably Intended to hold it for ransom.. The Pinkertons, it was learned, are now. directing most of their energies towards finding the man who made the rubber stamp cor responding tb the certificate stamp of (the Hanover National Bank. VIEWS H THE NEW ALLIANCE Europe Realizes Its Tremens dous Importance WILL KEEP THE PEACE Russia and Germany CdncerneA About a Definition of Terms Re lating to the' Frontier of India. Clauses Relating to China Sub e " - jected to Criticism London, Sept. 30. Now that Europe has had time "to consider the terms of . the new Anglo-Japanese alliance, ' its tremendous,1 even epoch-making impor tance, is fully realized. It is the 'flr of the great peace compacts which win do more toward averting war t than many Hague conferences. It Is blH terly attacked in some quarters, it It even described as an Asiatic Monri doctrine and .a crime against civillza- , tion. Its only ambiguity is. the chief' basis for criticism, significantly enough in Russia, and Germany'. This" is th clause In relation to India, where th I expressions are "the region of India"1 and "the prolimiting of the frontier.' The question asked is: "Does this mean or include Persia?" .It is well known that Russia politically, and Germany commercially, have great secret designs on Persia, and they naturally want to know- if Great Britain intends- to cry "Hands off," as she did in connection with the Russian attempt to gain a foothold in the Persian gulf. The v greatest novelty of the new treaty which excites the widest discus sion among publicists, however, is the precedent established by an attempt tot guarantee "the integrity and ind'epend-1 ence of another great' empire. It l& argued that this creates danger of , a serious kind. - The Spectator observes on this point ; that "guarantees given in. the case of Turkey have enabled a corrupt and in- Istence, but such "continued -existence v-vx-f has not only brought great misery, tc the Turkish population, but has also. Involved great dangers to the peace if the world. If the joint, guarantee of Great Britain and Japan is to give a new lease of lifetoi the evils Of Chinese rule and maintafn a corrupt, oppressive and decadent system ; of government in poAver over a third of the population of the world, It is conceivable that the good results which may otherwise flow, from the treaty will have been pur- chased too dearly. This objection may, , J no doubt, be obviated by some agree r J ' ment between the guarantors that re ' " - , ' forms shall be introduced In China, ; V Unfortunately, Jiowever, experience shows how difficult it is to carry ou$ . such an agreement." , The concensus of Europeaii opinion, however, is that the new treaty is a j most illuminating and important de-I velopment of modern statesmanship, and that it marks a momentous step in international intercourse. HAS LOTS OF MONEY The Equitable Life Is Looking for Borrowers New York, Sept. 30. According to the statement Issued today by Pres ident Paul Morton of the Equitabla Life. Assurance Society, that' company has more money -than it knows What to do with. The -following statement was given out by Mr. Morton today: -. "Kirst-class securities are difficult to get. The society is not receiving ap plications for loans 'on high-class New York real estate as rapidly as It would like to get them, it has money-to in vest and is anxious to take It out of the bhks and put it in mortgages. The policy of the. society hereafter will be to make it .easy for good people to borrow money from it on high-class mortgages." Mr. Morton would not say what in terest he expected to. get for the mon ey, but in the past the Equitable - hag been getting not less than 4 per cvjt'. on gilt edge mortgages, and has been getting as high as 5 1-2 per cent, on small loans.
