UAPAN AS A GREAT POWER tillikcdo Will Shortly Raise His ' '.Legations to the Rank of Embassies. Japan's Kznperor has Intimated his Intention of transforming his legations at Washington. London, f>arl«. Berlin and Vienna into full fledged em bassies, with the object of establishing Japan's status as a great power and cf taking a more Im portant position In ncr relations with foreign na tlorf . Thcr* Is no reason why she should not tsk« this step at the close of the present war. For If Turkey Is accorded thin privilege by the great pewers there is no reason why it should not be er joyed by the Uuid of the Rising Sun. The Otto aan Empir* ie- certainly less civilized to-day, ac eerdiag to We»tern notions, than Japan, and H must be confessed that It Is an anomaly that whereas (Sultan Abdul Hamed should nave a place, among those pages of the Almanach de Gotha devoted to the sovereign bouses of Europe, the Mikado should ■continue to be barred therefrom and relegated to 'that section of this standard work of referenco In which the reigning houses of Slam, of China, of Cbrea and of Morocco, as well as of Persia, are tcaomerated. X>TERNATXO!Ca£. CONGRESS PROJECTED. KegoUatioaa are already in progress among sev •«ral of the great powers, among which are Great ; Britain and the United States, with a view to an ' isteraatJonal congress at the end of the present : conflict In the Far Ea»t for the purpose of re- | vlsir.g the rules of warfare. One of the chief re- Itanns in view deals with tha difficult problem of prisoners of war. The Japanese claim to have been •objected to a very serious penalty for their vic tories by being burdened with the responsibility of t tending Immense numbers of the enemy's wounded ateply because the Russians would rot be ham- Ipersi with them in their flight. Then, too. the Japanese have been pet to enormous expense and 'trooDls in connection with the maintenance of tho rart hordes of prisoners of war. for which their jcommlssariat and transport departments were not SSepared. There Is a talk of dealing with the prob- Itea by means of some International arrangement ! wnareey prisoners of war would be handed back to 'tbelr own countrymen to be detained "en masse" ! «nder such supervision that it would be Im!»o8s;r.!« tor them to rejoin the army In the field without t|l>s wills wnrlri being cognizant of the fact. nULERS AB MASONS.

At the same time It may be pointed out that in tjnort of the Protestant monarchies of Europe the .sovereign is a Free Mason and the heir apparent & high dUrnltary. and sometimes the grand master «f tie crt.il. 2Cow. the Vice-President Is, after (all. the heir presumptive, if not the heir apparent. fto the Chief Magistracy of the Republic.

When the relative* of the dead man became acquainted with this fact they at once brought charges of murder against the Count Begonxae. and even went so far as to accuse him or having shot his comrade in order that he. the Junior member of the expedition, might reap both the credit and the reward for the results achieved ' by the mission. The count was arrestfd in Prance, and subjected to a long series of harassing examinations by courts , of inquiry, by various superior officers, and by the : Minister of War, to whom he admitted that tho version he had given of the death of Quiqueres was incorrect, that the captain hai blown his brains out in an attack of delirium tremens. and that he had concealed the true facts of the case out of consideration 'or the feelings of his comrade's family. As usual, the newspapers took sid?s in the affair, and while the Royalist press championed the cause of the count, the Radical organs were so vio lent In their denunciation of him as the murderer of Qulquerez that the government had no alternfy. tive but to keep him In prison until the matter h.-*£ been thoroughly cleared up. Jj After nearly eighteen months In Jail, under the imputation ,of havly.g slain his comrade in a cowardly and treacherous fashion, the unfortunate man was sent back to St. Louis, under nrrest. to undergo trial by court W/iar tial there. The only witnesses were natives, and while they all agreed that the two officers, were constantly quarrelling while in the interior* some ascribed the responsibility for the dispute* to the captain and others to the count, and whereas half the testimony went to show that the captain had shot himself, the other evidence was to the effect that Quiqueres ha<J been shot in a hand to hand en counter by the count, acting In self-dc fence. Eventually Segonzac was acquitted > though not by a unanimous verdict, and his s*ord was re rtored to him. But he felt the suppi'.'ion which pre vailed with regard to his responsibility for the death of his comrade so bitterly tr«u he demanded and obtained his transfer to a regl'txent stationed in the most dangerous portion of Tonquln. where at the time FreDch troops were in almost daily con flict with Black Flag pirates. anA with a still more cruel enemy, the pestilential dltnate. He escaped both, greatly distinguished hiuiself. won an addi tional grade in the Order of the Legion of Honor, and. returning to Europe, retired from active ser vice, and has ever since devoted himself to the study of African questions and of French Colonial enterprise, on the subject of which he has becom« a recognised expert. He has entirely lived down all the former animosity which the Radical press manifested toward him, and there are but few people to-day who dream of holding him in any way responsible for the death of Quiquerez. who. It is only fair to add. was a man of the most quar relsome. Jealous and Intemperate disposition. MARQUISE DE FONTENOY. A NEW BOLL WEEVIL ANT. Dr. Caracristi Believes He Has Found One That Will Solve the Problem. IBT TFLEORAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ) Mobile, April 4.— "Xo one must think that the attempt to destroy the boll weevil by means of other insects is a failure because the Guatemalan ants failed." said Dr. C. Caracristi. who headed th« party which returned from an exploration trip alone the Darien Coast last week. "I believe I have discov ered an ant that Is truly carnivorous in the Pabiea.- Fflakely. I think that this ant will solve the boll weevil Question. Throw a few colonized logs into a field of cotton and surround that field with a small stream, of running water, and before the cotton is ready for picking those ants will be so thick that the planter will have to furnish his hands with leather boots before they will go into the planta tion."

Then followed carriages with members of the Loyal Legion. Grand Army of the Republic and Confederate Veterans, acting as special escort to ! the President.; The President arrived at the speakers' stand. I in front of the Courthouse, at 6th and Jef- I fer "»n sts.. at 10 a. m. He was introduced In a • few w «rds by Governor Beckham. , T/ne crowd around the speakers' stand waa , limited only by the lines of buildings on the va rious streets, and at times seemed beyond the control of the police. Not one-fifth of those in | sight of the President could hear his remarks. j The President spoke less than fifteen minutes. i He was heartily cheered. GOVERNOR INTRODUCES PRESIDENT. , In introducing the President, Governor Beck j ham said: I Ladies and gentlemen: Not only the peo pie or Louisville, but the people of all Ken tucky rejoice to-day in welcoming among us the President of this great Republic. Regardless ot a" political differences, we are , nerv to do honor, not only to the Chief Magis i trate of this great country, but also to Theodore Roosevelt the man. (Great applause.) We recog nize his eminent patriotism, his integrity, his l.:iri..^n<ss. and wo all believe him to be a rnei:d of the great common people throughout I this country. We also look forward to him dur ing the next four years, as the ruler of this Re ; public, to obliterate the last faint line of sec ! tior.al differences that may exist in this coun try. (Applause) I believe that it is in the | Power of this great man who, more than any President since the big brained and big hearted Lincoln, holds the affection and the confidence t of the people of this country— l say. I believe it is more in his power than in the power of any other man to establish beyond question the fact t ha. there Is no North, no South, no East and no \\ esL in this country. As the President stepped upon tho platform and The crowd saw him a prolonged cheer went up. The President tried to speak, but had to wait until the appiause died out. Then he said: Governor Beckham. and you, my fellow Am ericans (applause): Surely any man would indeed be gratified to be greeted in thi 8 way by such an audience, and be introduced as you have introduced me. Gover nor Beckham. As the Governor has co well said upon all the Important questions, the questions that infinitely transcend mere partisan differences, we are fundamentally one. (Applause.) For in the question of foreign and internal politics, the nouns upon which there can be no proper division on party lines Infinitely exceed m number those upon which there can be such division, and, Governor Beckham, I shall do all that in me lies to justify the hope to which you have given expression and to try to show myself the President of all the people of the United States. (Prolonged applause.) And. naturally, I feel particularly gratified at seeing here to-day. Joined in this procession, the men who wore the hlue and the men who wora. the gray. (Laughter and applause.) Jn the dark days— now. keep just as quiet as you can; you won't be able to do anything more than see me, anyhow (laughter and applause)— in the dark days each of you fought for the right as It was given him to see the right (a voice: "That's right!"), and each of you has left us the right to feel pride, not only In your valor but in your devotion to what y->u conscientious ly believed your duty. (Great applause.) "THE FLAG OF OUR COMMON COUNTRY." And new we are all one (cheers and long con tinued applause), and as a united people we have the right to feel the same pride in the valor of the man who conscientiously risked his life In the Confederate uniform, that we have in the man who fought in the blue. (Applause.) And as I passed by your ranks, oh, my friends in gray, to-day and saluted the flag of our com mon country, held up by a man in the gray uniform, I felt that, indeed, we are one, and that we have been able to show mankind the greatest war of the century can he followed by the most perfect union that any nation now knows. And in coming to rhis great and beautiful city of yours, l wish to congratulate you upon the" historic spirit that is found here. Pointing to the statue of Thomas Jefferson that stands In front of the courthouse, the President continued: I am glad, as I say, of the spirit that makes you wish to dedicate statues like this of Jeffer son, and like the great statue of Clay inside of this courthouse. It Is a fine thing to keep to a sense of historic continuity with the past, and there is one statue that I wish the members Jn the National Congress from Kentucky to see is put up by the national govern ment, and that if a national statue to An drew Jackson and the victors of the baitle of New-Orleans. The tight at New-Orleans was one in which the whole nation has a care, as far as the glory and the profit went, and' the whole nation, and not any one State, should Join in putting that statue up. Now. 1 am KOing to say goodby, because there Is a little movement there, and it will be better for the women and the small people if I let you get away. Ooodby. WOULD TEACH "GEMUETHLICHKEIT." As the President descended to the platform from the speakers' stand the voices of two male German singing societies burst forth with the strains of "My Old Kentucky Home," the Presi dent remaining uncovered until the famous song had been continued. Then he spoke to ■ingera as follows: Gentlemen: I w&nt to thank you for coming here to sing to-day, and I want to say just one thing suggested by your presence. We, as a people, ar-- composed of many different stocks from the Old World. Each stock ran contribute something of great value to our national life. The people <-f German origin who have come here h.-i\- contributed much in many different ■rays, and not the least of what they have con tributed hns been the power to know what the joy of living means. (Applause). There is one ■word I wish it wor- possible to translate; but, as It is not possible, I wish we could adopt it abso lutely as it is — "Gemtttnlichkeit" — for gemtith lichkeit is a mighty valuable asset. I only hope as missionaries you will be able to teach us what it means and how to practise it all through. Goodby. (Laughter.) The President and party then entered their carriages, and after a short drive through sev eral streets in the business district arrived at the Louisville Hotel. The streets were massed with people, and the President stood up in his carriage, bowing from right to left in response to the cheering which was hearty and contin uous. BEAUTIFUL GIFTS PRESENTED. In the parlors of the hotel occurred one of the prettiest incidents o/ the day— the presentation of souvenirs to the Executive. These consisted of a massive silver flagon containing water from a spring on the old Lincoln homestead in Larue County; an inkstand of oak, taken from a tree that shaded the spring at which Lincoln drank when a lad. and a beautiful silver vase filled with orchids. The President was visibly touched by the gifts. The presentation was made by Colonel R. T. Durrett, for twenty years a friend of the President and in whose library Mr. Roose velt, years ago, spent many hours reading the history of Kentucky and gaining data of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The group sur rounding the President when the presentation was made included Governor Beckham, Senator McCreary, Congressman Sh'rley, Hon. Logan C. Murray and a few invited guests, numbering al together not more than fifty. The President made a feeling response, saying that he felt more than ever that he waa the President of all the people— North and South. East and West. A hurried departure was taken, the President arriving on board his train at exactly 11 o'clock. A minute later, witn the Executive standing on the rear platform of the car. with cannon thun dering a farewell salute less than a block away and to tho music of deafening cheers, the train moved out of 7th-st. station, and a half hour later was spt-eding across Indiana on its way to the Southwest. Huntlngburg. Ind.. AprU 4 —At Milltown, Ind., the first stop out of Louisville, a large gathering of workingmen greeted President Roosevelt. The stop waa made In order to take on water, and the people of Milltown took advantage of the short stay when the train slowed down. A gray bearded patriarch pointed out the President and introduced him aa "the greatest dignitary on earth " Toe President shook bands with a number of those who pressed about the ear. and addressed the assembly, saying: I am very glad to have the pleasure of seeing you and saying a word of greeting to you. It cannot but be pleasant to any President to have the chance of going through the country and meeting his fellow countrymen and being greeted as you have greeted me. lam glad to see you all— the men, the women and the children. I am glad to see here and wherever I go the type of man. which I believe makes for th« future welfare of this country; the man and the woman who believe in doing their duty. In facing life, knowing that life has In it any amount that is hard, but who are going to do their best to make things right for themselves and for their neighborß. There Is not anything very difficult in government. It Is simply the applying of cer tain common sense principles that we appiy among ourselves. The man who Is a decent mar. will be a decent husband, a decent father, a decent neighbor, and in public life he will do the right thing.

April 4— Jake Borah, one of the guides engaged by the President for his hunting trip In Colorado, says: 'We will put President Roosevelt on the trail of the biggest srlz*ly bear In the Rocky Mountains.

Boston, April The committee of Congrega tional clerirymen who are protesting against the acceptance by the American Board of Commis sioners for Foreign Missions of John D. Rocke feller's gift of $100,000 will have to conduct their crusiul» unassisted by the prudential committee of the American Board. After a protracted confer ence to-day between representatives of the pro testing clergymen's committee and three members of the prudential committee the latter refused ab soltely to join the protesiants in their movement to bring before the Congregational clergy of the co.mtry the reasons advanced for or against the acceptance of the gift. The conference to-day was held at Congrega tional House, the headquarters of the American Board. Previous to the meeting the represent atives of the protesting committee held a meeting at which it was decided to ask the prudential com mittee to i=«=ue a joint statement concerning the circumstances ot the gift and the reasons for its rejection or acceptance. .ftepresenivtives o f the two committees then came together. Those who were delegated by the protesting- committee were the Rev. Daniel Evans. of Cambridge; the Rev. C. A. Carter, of Lexington and the Rev. C. I-. Noyes. of Somervllle. ■ The prudential committee was represented by the Rev F. O. Winslow. of Maiden; Samuel B. Capen. of this city, and Professor Edward C. Moore, of the Harvard Divinity School. The conference lasted nearly five hours, and at adjournment the con ferrees declined to discuss the proceedings. It was learned, however, that the prudential com mittee had refused to issue any statement jointly with the protesting committee. The protestants will continue the agitation independently, it was announced that a statement would b« prepared im mediately petting forth their side of the contro versy and opposing unqualifiedly the acceptance of Mr. Rockefeller's money. This statement will he Issued in circular form and sent to each nv^Jtber of the American Board and to every Congregational clergyman in the I'nited States. At a late hour to-night the committee of protest ing clergymen completed its statement, which will be printed and sent broadcast to-morrow. After reciting the history of the controversy, the state ment says, under the caption "The Main Issue": The protest rests on the conviction that the Church must not stand In compromising relation to a man who in puhlic thought represents methods that are opprensive, dangerous and wrong. \\> cannot disregard the effect of the association which Us name, in view of facts that are widespread and notorious, unfortunately carries with it. The Church cannot afford to enter into any relation that may weaken or discredit it in the fulfilment of its task. The main question is one of the moral prestige and power of the Church. All the confusion arising_Jrom the literal use of the figure "tainted money" may be brushed aside at once. Mon<?y is impersonal; it is not tainted and cannot taint morally. It is by voluntary rela tion to the donors that moral responsibility is in curred. With the unknown or unimpeached giver the Church is brought Into no such conscious and deliberate relation. The refusal of a gift from such a source as this in question does not Imply "Investigation of the record of every giver." and this whole practical difficulty which has been al lowed to obstruct our fulfilment of the obvious duty of the moment falls to the ground as ficti tious. The Church owes it to itself and the public con science to acknowledge rej-JKmsibillty when it vol untarily enters into dealings with a donor who stands openly impeached of serious offences which i: is our duty to condemn. It is not required that the < "hurch form a tribunal to pass Judgment on personal character or probe into the business methods of all givers. Such examination is not necessary in refusing a gift. Public belief has expression, formed on extensive evidence through a long series of years, and furnishes sufficient basis for fuch action. This works no "injustice to an Individual" by "singling him out" among others suspected of heiiift "as bad as he." It is his own actions which have already singled him out before the world as a notorious and tvpieal in stance of an evil element in our national life. However formidable may be the practical difficul ties in the way of exercising thi3 responsibility they must not obscure the ethical demand. The balancing of prudential considerations can only be a halfway station i:i the consideration of any moral question. Where shall we begin, if not with the most conspicuous case that has y"et been reported to our Church. Where we must end is shown by the answer of the prudential committee. We must end in the declaration of complete Irresponsibility for the sources from which we accept gifts. Their words are: "The principle on which this policy rests is the belief that our responsibility begins with the re ceipt of the gift. . . . Before gifts are received ; the responsibility is not ours, but is that of donors in their own conscience." We believe that the Church will never rest in this principle. It has not done so in the past. By many acts and utterances the Church has declared its right and duty to descriminate. among donors. i The principal ;tseif is vicious t.nd corrupting, and ! it is impossible in practice. We cannot acquit our selves of responsibility in receiving money, for we do m-oducp a moral effect. "Money talks," and the board has done much in the past to give it a voice. : Over against this position we urge the positive principle, in application to this specific case. This requires that the representatives of a Christian ! body be peculiarly sensitive to the moral bearing j of gifts offere 1. and especially to the social effect , arising from their acceptance. Tf. from any cause, | the proposed relation promises to bring embarrass ment. refuHal to enter it is justified by the la.w of | self-respect. A Christian corporation has a char acter which it may not compromise l>y doubtful alliar«es. • The application of this principle was never so much needed as now. The Church nnds itself in danger of losing its moral leadership. It cannot be blind to the growing alienation between those who have and those who have not. Its message is to the entire human family, and a deepening sense of social obligation has touched its ijeart. And not j only human fellowship, but the interests of I righteousness are at stake in the problems of trade, j The battle is on between forces that are socially destructive and those that seek a finer order of justice and human opportunity. There is no ques tion on which side of this contest the Church should stand. It is necessary for it to be exceed ingly jealous of anything that may swerve it from ltd own task. Every act must be avoided that seems to ally the Church with the wrong side, to impede its action or to render its efforts and utter ances Ineffectual. The motives which constrain us to this appeal are a deep solicitude because of the corporate evils that threaten our nation, our sense of the solemn and imperative mission of the Church a th« moral educator of the people, and a jealous zeal lest its energy and authority be Impaired by any seeming compromise with the evil it is set to condemn. By the convergence of these motives upon this special case now brought before us as a Church, it is lifted Into commanding importance and our decision is fraught with momentous and far reaching con sequences. •:- H. B. IRVING AS HAMLET. London. April 5.-H. B. Irving, the first of sev eral new Hamlets announced for the present Lon don theatrical season, had a pronounced triumph at the Adelphi last night, and commands critical discussion in the morning newspapers on a larger scale than wi/ild be extended to a new play by a foremost writer. Modelled to a considerable ex tent on his fathers conception, but without his father's striking genius, Mr. Irving nevertheless surprised even his admirers by the strength and originality of his rendering, and his Hamlet is classed by the critics as worthy to be counted among the test half dozen Hamlets of the modern period. His conception of the part is character ized by great virill.y rather than by dreaminess— «n objective rather than a eubjective «tjidy. So m « adverse criticism is made of his J^^i <^ n! t ry methods, but otherwise most liberal praise is be- Uly d ßrivfon gave an excellent performance of Ophelia, and there wa> » JP? dnls"'Ld nl s"'L nc I u *"« Oscar Asche as Claudius.

Conpulsor*- arbitration waa unefer dsisssliiii yss terday at h« meeting of the Civic Federation In the rooms o* the Board of Trade. The recent strike on the Interborough received considerable atten tion. James P. Archibald said: Despite the earner apprehension of tne contmlttee. the outcome of the strike was In reality a victory for the principle of trad asTeementa anil a demon stration of the respect for their Inviolability Khlch animates national organizations of labor. / Mr. Archibald was Introduced as a representative of the labor side. He said that compulsory arbitra tion tender*, directly toward socialism, for If either side should refuse to work the state would have to carry on the business I! its continuance were neces «nry to public welfare. He declared compulsory arbitration unnecessary. He said that the normal condition of Industry Is peace, not war. as some would have It appear. Continulcg, he declared: There has existed in Russia for generations an ornetrhoioir.g bureaucracy whose function is thai of an industrial judiciary. Against industrial ad justraint by this but*aucmcy It was a crime for workers to organize for appeal. The result waa the evolution of Industrial lundltions so shocking as to be <incrediMe to Occidental minds and to cause a revolt In demand of right* that our cirthsatioit nad grown to treat as axiomatic and to take for grant' Everett P. Wheeler said that compulsory arbitra tion was entirely practicable. He would have the lua-l stature tr.aci a law making both sWes submit to arbitration before declaring a strike. August Beimont rl*v?larf><l tnat tne Interborough was friendly toward organized labor, but could not arbitrate till both parties could be h*-ld re»ponisb> for results. Kx-Mayor Low and Bis>hop Potter both spoke in favor of compulsory arbitration. BROUGHAM IS WRECKED. Mrs. Peter Moller Has Narrow Escape in Runaway.

SUES JUDGE FOE $1.200,000.. Aunt of S. L. Bronson, of New-Haven, Makes Charges Against Him. New-Haven. Conn., April 4. -Judge a L. Bronson. of this city, candidate for Governor on the Demo cratic ticket in the State election of l«0. is made the defendant in a suit for $1,300,004 damages which has been returned to the April term of the Superior Court. The action is brought by Miss Susan Bronson. of Waterbury. an aunt of the defendant, who alleges that as her agent and attorney for ten years prior to September. 1904, the plaintiff failed to make an accounting of the affairs of her estate, which she believes to have been worth at the time it was put into his hands about J500.000. This, with the moneys accumulated during the time he has had the prop erty in charge, will amount to nearly the- turn claimed in damages. The complainant says that stock in certain na tional banks and in certain foreign corporations stands In the name of the defendant on the books of the banks and corporations, having been trans ferred by the defendant into his own name, al though the defendant, says the complainant, had no legal or equitable right therein.
