will cot be left out of account in the fiscal prob
ifaof the united empire, and that the results of
the Government inquiry will be revealed to the

£is will be done before or after Mr. Chamber
iiir.'s auiur campaign is not stated definitely.
There are rumors that Mr. Chamberlain will
<=lther pay a visit to Canada or cancel his en
pagements for autumn meetings in the north,
and there are fanatical free traders ho lore-
BUt his resignation after the Cabinet, frightened
ty the unpopularity of the proposals for taxa
tion cf imported food, definitely rejects the new
facal programme as premature. These vatici
nations of the rumor mongers are not authori
tative, but are inspired by the antipathy of the
free trade zealots to tny modification of the
system of unrestricted importing.
Mr. Balfour spoke last night of the autumn
campaign on tariff reform a.s though it were
frivolity, and Mr. Chamberlain has not can
celled his engagements for iking at New
castle, Glasgow or elsewhere. Nobody who ob
served the fervol" with which Mr. Chamberlain
discussed imperial unity at Sir Gilbert Parker's
colonial luncheon can be convinced that he med
itates an unconditional surrender or a retreat
from the field. What is probable is that he is
modifying his views respecting the levying of the
four shilling duty on wheat and regarding with
more favor a tariff on manufactured goods, with
a moderate tax of a thillinc or two shillings on
hr.ported food. The Ministers are studying the
vhole subject. Without doubt exhibits with fie
ures and diagrams with curved lines and other

Self-preservation being the first law of Minis
terial life, the weakminded members of the Gov
ernment would undoubtedly like to run away
Jroc: the uncomfortable situation, and are bring
'«* great pressure to bear upon Mr. Chamber

in principles with all the ardor of another Grand

TOPICS IN PARIS.
President Loubet Pleased xvith Visit
— A Cordial Understanding.
fSnerial to The NVw-York Tribune by French Cable.*
(OQoyrisht 1903: By Th© Tribune Association.)
Paris, July 11. — President Lioubet is perfectly
: delighted with his visit to King Edward. This
; feeling to-day is reflected with dowr 'ght good
will in all the Paris papers of every political
stripe, ranging from the Republican "Temps"
to the Nationalist Chauvinism of the "Libre
Parole." the "Patrie" and the "Intransigeant."
A stranger arriving in Paris might readily sup
pose Frenchmen had only just discovered Lon-
I don. The illustrated papers are brimful of good
natured caricature of President Loubet and
King Edward. The former is represented in
Highland kilts dancing a cakewalk with the
rtilfa Vi. Prlfiwf. Lord Lansdo-xne, Mr.
Balfoar and Mr. Chamberlain caper about bub
bling over with mutual affection. The daily
- teem with pictures of London and Lon
don life, and column after column of interviews
with prominent Frenchmen just back from Lon
don expressing their appreciation of the sights
they have seen. The correspondents of the
"Temps." the "Figaro" and the "Matin" declare
that what struck them most forcibly was the
rapidity with which the London policemen
' handle street traffic and the uniformly swift
pace which London vehicles of every description
are compelled to maintain in the crowded city
thoroughfares. The "Temps" correspondent.
Pierre Till, expatiates on the excellent habit
acquired by the British public of jumping in and
out of omnibuses without stopping the horses.
"a national gymnastic feat which greatly facili
tates traffic." Another feature noticed by the
Parisian journalists is that the London crowds
move much more rapidly than a Paris crowd,
especially in the metropolitan railroads and
, theatre exits.
It is estimated that over ten thousand French |
men and French women crossed the Channel to j
be in London during President Loubefs visit. I
Most of these sightseers have now returned, and
one hears on all sides comments and apprecia- j
tions of London and Londoners. Some of these j
appreciations are rather far fetched. For in- j
stance, one correspondent gravely laid stress on j
the delicate compliment paid by King Edward to
France in causing the initials of the R^publique
Franchise ("R. F. ') to be embroidered on the
shoulder straps of the British infantry— a par
donable error, due to the fact that the Parisian
correspondent happened, when penning his dis
patches, to be surrounded by soldiers belonging
to a regiment of Royal Fusiliers, whose insignia
("R. F.") is worn on the shoulders after the
manner prescribed by the King's regulations.
Never before in Paris has such a wave of
good feeling been elicited toward England and
the English. It is this atmosphere of mutual
sympathy among the masses of the people that
marks the significance of M. Loubefs visit.
The old misunderstandings and animosity that
prevailed between the two countries for thirty
years seem now entirely effaced. The "Journal
dcs Debats" expresses the conviction^ that the
new Anglo-French friendship is perfectly com
patible with the Franco-Russian alliance, and
also with a cordial understanding between
France and Italy- In diplomatic circles con
siderable importance is attached to the fact that
M Delcasse immediately after a conference
with Lord Lansdowne had a long conversation
with the Russian Ambassador, and it is felt
that when the necessity arises the existing dif
ferences between England and Russia in China
and Central Asia can be arranged to mutual
satisfaction by French mediation. From a
French standpoint, international politics have
never been brighter than after M. Loubefs
memorable visit to London. French funds have
risen half a franc, and are firmer than for a
long time past.
The Paris society season closes with a most
painful scandal, with repugnant details, which
occupy a whole page of the "Matin.- the "Petite
Republic." the "Rapper and other radical
papers, and the only recent parallel for which
may be found in an analagous scandal known
as that of Cleveland-st.. London, a dozen years
ago Those implicated in the orgies, which

rites called "les messes noires," which were per
formed with music and Incantations in the pres

spectators. These pupils were of the ages of
ten to fifteen, and belonged to highly respectable

of these abominable rites of Astaroth.
The "Petite Republique," an influential So

this scandal. The indignant parents of the vic
tims swear they will seek vengeance on the
perpetrators with their own hands. Altogether,
it is a tremendous sensation, and scarcely any

PIOUS PETER-HIS IDEA" OF A C IOW* BX THE GRACE OF GOIX^
PROTESTS HAVE EFFECT.
Russia Punishing Those; Responsi
ble for Kishineff Massacre.
Washington, July 11. — Information of an en
tirely trustworthy character concerning the
Kishineff massacre has reached here. From ad
vice* received to-day it appears that the pro
tests which arose in the United States and
many other civilized countries against the mur
derous attacks on the Jews in Kishineff last
spring have not been without practical effect.
This information states that the Russian Gov
ernment has been moved to vigorous action in
the matter of investigating and punishing those
who were responsible for the Kishineff massa
cre. Eight hundred arrests have been made, and
as a result of the preliminary examination three
hundred and fifty persons have been remanded
for trial In the lower courts. Four hundred and
fifty cases have been sent to the Court of Ap
peal, of which fifty-three are Indictments for
manslaughter. , A change of venue having been
ordered, the trials of those accused of murder
ing and horribly maltreating the Jews at Kishi
neff will occur in September at Tiraspol. The
services of four distinguished lawyers ha\-e been
secured to assist the prosecution in the murder
cases, and three well known lawyers will aid in
the prosecution of the synagogue property cases.
Berlin, July 11.— The "Frankfurter Zeitung"
says It learns by way of Bucharest that the
ringleader of the Kishineff atrocities, a man
named Piserjewski, has committed suicide at
Kishineff because the director of the Russian
Ministry of Justice had arrived there, commis
sioned by the Czar to make a stringent investi
gation into the horrors The correspondent
adds that a number of persons previously dis
charged from arrest at Kishineff have been re
arrested, and that other persons morally re
sponsible for the murders have been arrested.
The "Frankfurter Zeitung" also says it learns
from another source that ex-Governor Yon
Raaben has returned to Kishineff, and is en
deavoring to get tho Jewish population of that
place to unite in a testimonial to the effect that
he behaved correctly during the massacres.
UNCLE SAMS SYRUP MILL.
A Pet Project of Secretary Wilson
To Be Carried Out.
I PROM 7HD TRIBUNE BUREAU. 1
Washington, July 11.— Uncle Sam Is just about to
indulge his sweet tooth to the extent or a $15,000
table syrup plant. Secretary Wilson has noticed
through the numerous reports o' his "experts in
the field" that the infant industry of table syrup
making from the sugar cane of the Southern States
has languished in swaddling clothes which are ex
actly one hundred years old, and has determined
to rejuvenate the industry, if possible, by a good
example and a practical illustration of how the
trick should be turned.
This model syrup factory has been planned by
Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the chemistry bureau
of the Department of Agriculture, assisted by Dr.
G. L. Spencer, the highest salaried sugar expert in
America. Contracts for Its construction are now
being executed, and work on it is expected to begin
at once. The plant is to be located at Way Cross,
Ga., a small town in the southeastern corner of the
State, and when completed is to become the syrup
school of the whole South.
Great expectations are indulged in by Secretary
Wilson and his official family as to the result of
this experimental factory. Since the introduction
of sugar cane Into the United States its cultivation
for the purpose of manufacturing ta,ble syrups has
been extended until it is now practised over large
areas of Southern Texas, nearly the whole of the
State of Louisiana, portion? of Southern Mississippi
and Alabama, the southern part of Georgia and
South Carolina and throughout Florida.
Nearly all of the methods which have been em
ployed for this purpose have been of a crude nature
and involve no accurate knowledge of the char
acter of the cane employed, the amount of sugar
which it contains or the chemical composition of
the product secured. Notwithstanding this, th»;
product obtained has been of a high character and
the appreciation of its value for the breakfast table
and for cooking purposes has grown until it is
now a recognized food product throughout the
whole of the region mentioned and in many other
parts of the country to which it has been sent.
Dr. Wiley keeps a bottle of the syrup on the
mantel in his office at the department, and refers
to It with pride as the best syrup manufactured.
When he presented the cause of the syrup to Con
gress and obtained the $lf).t>»' appropriation, he car
ried this bottle with him and passed It around the
committee table. Th» result was magical, and if
the first experimental mill proves the success pre
dicted there is no doubt that the syrup bottle will
form a permanent fixture in the argumentative
paraphernalia of the department before Congress
in the future.
Although the industry has heretofore been car
ried on by means of the old-fashioned mule mill
and iron kettle, the demand for the syrup has in
creased so rapidly within the last year or two that
manufacturers are equipping themselves with more
modern machinery It is for the purpose of secur
ing uniformity in the quality of the output, as well
as for studying methods to prevent fermentation
in warm weather, in order that the market for the
product may be extended, that the experiments are
to be made. It is expected that the plant will ba
equipped in time to handle the fall crop.

NEAREST TO SOUTH POLE.
Relief Ship Morning Returns from
the Antarctic Regions.
San Francisco. July 11— Captain William
Colebeck of the relief ship Morning, tender to
the exploring ship Discovery, now in the South
Pole regions, is here, en route to London, to re
port. He says the main work of the Discovery
has been the location of between four hundred
and five hundred miles of new coast line, and
she worked as far south as latitude 77 degrees
50 minutes south. With sleds members of the
party got as far south as 82 decrees 17 min
utes south latitude, the furthest south any man
has gone.
A lot of new marine fauna has been found,
also some marine plants, but they are a low
type of organization. Seals abound, but the
polar bear and the walrus are not there. No
new, large animals were found. The cold there
is far worse than in the Arctic. In the latter
region in the summer time the temperature gets

SHAKERS SEEK TAX EXEMPTION.
Trusts Reported to Have Injured the Mount
Lebanon Industries.
New-Lebanon, N. V.. July 11 (Special).— The
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, after paying tuts to
the State and county for more than a hundred
years, amounting to thousands of dollars, have
come to the conclusion that they should be exempt
as a church settlement. They have taken legal
advice, and will appeal to the legislature to put
them on the free list. Their church building Is
already exempt. The sect is assess**! on a 175.000
valuation, which includes the residence, store and
factory buildings of the North. Church. Second
and South families and some three thousand acres
of land, much of which is mountainous.
"The State has no right to tax us when it ex
empts other church communities," said Elderess
Anna White, of the North family, to a Tribune
correspondent to-day. She is a Brooklyn woman,
who has lived in the Shaker -village for 'more than
forty years. "The property is held in common
and is not used for private gain. In the century
and over that the village has been in existence
we have clothed, fed and educated hundreds of
poor children, most of whom left us on or before
ccming of agre and went out to make jrx*i citizen*.
For this charity we have received nothing from
the State. In times when our industries were
profitable we prospered, and did not mind paying
taxes Now the .trusts have forced us to close
most of our industries, and we are poor. The
taxes are a greater burden than we can carry.
The Shakers, through their trustees, will appeal
to the Senator from this district to preset a bill
for their relief at the next session of the legis
lature They will not attempt to recover taxes
already paid. The four families new number only
120. most of whom are elderly women.
