She rode to the station in a hired carriage and amid demonstra­ tions of sympathy from the people, took a train for Brussels. Refuses to Meet Daughter. There are various versions of the quarrel at Spa between King Leopold and Princess Stephanie, the most reli­ able of which was to the effect that the princess was in the death cham­ ber when his majesty arrived at the palace. He refused to enter until she had left the room. Princess Clemen­ tine, the king's third daughter, came and took Princess Stephanie away. King Leopold tnen entered the death chamber and prayed before the coffin for twenty-five minutes. The news of the quarrel between the king and the princess spread rapidly. Opposes Her Marriage.

She was married the second time in 1900 to Elmer, count of Ldta- yay. This latter marrikge was against the wishes of x.ing Leopold, who re­ fused to permit it to be legalized. He has been bitter against his daughter, and courts friendly to that of Belgium have declinea to recteive the princess.

AMERICA'S NOTE Plan to Arrange an Identical ••Reply to Representation Regarding Jews, LITTLE CHANCE OF AGREEMENT Doubt la expressed as to Ability of Governments to Get Together and Form a Joint Answer That Will Be Satisfactory to All. Vienna cablegram: The powers slgt natory of the Berlin treaty are en­ deavoring to arrange an Identical re- pl/ to the note of Secretary of State Hay concerning the treatment of Jews In Roumanla. Austria, which has ex­ cellent relations with Roumanla, is especially energetic in this direction. According to the present arrange­ ments, the Vienna and Berlin Cab­ inets have decided to decline the American proposition. Although their answers will be couched in very courteous terms, the United States will be given to understand that only the signatories of the treaty have the right to give decisions or take action on the question of the treatment .of foreigners in Roumanla. Doubt Ability to Agree. It is doubtful in initiated circles whether a joint answer can be arrived at, although Germany, Russia and Austria desire it. Neither Austria nor Russia is will­ ing to support the appeal made by the United States in behalf of the Jews of Roumania. It is admitted that the treatment of the Roumanian Jews in­ fringes the treaty of Berlin of 1878, but It Is only one of numerous cases in which this treaty has been vio­ lated without the signatories protest­ ing. Press Is Hostile. The conservative and clerical press of Berlin is hostile in its attitude to the American note concerning the Jews in Roumania, but the indications are that the government will not com­ mit Itself to a course of action cal­ culated to frustrate the objects of the American Initiative. The Cologne Ga­ zette prints an Inspired Berlin com­ munication, in which it is observed that the Roumanians have not got a good case. It admits that the object of the Roumanians is to get rid of their Jews, but is convinced that this object will not be achieved by a pol­ icy of chicanery such as the American circular criticises. Put Clamps on Money. Other European states are sb averse as is America to the Immigration o? destitute aliens. The various chari­ table funds at the disposal of Jewish communities cannot undertake to cope with a social problem of such magni­ tude. Thus the friends of the Jews find themselves reduced to the neces­ sity of putting pressure on the Rou­ manian government by the influence they are able to exert on the money markets of the world, on the good will of which Roumania is peculiar­ ly dependent in view of the position of her finances. The dispatch con­ cludes by strongly urging the Rou­ manians to deal with the Jewish problem so as to remove the present grievances of the Jews and obviate the recurrence of unwelcome inci­ dents such as the American circular.

ADMITS GUILT / -• > vA* Grandson of Brlgham Young rAids Murderer to v of Woman's Body.

William Hooper Young confessed to the murder of Mrs. Annie Pulitzer at New York after having been abso­ lutely identified in Bert Edwards, who was arrested in Derby, Conn. The pblice of Derby officially announce that Young admitted his identity and in addition to his confession, the de­ tails of which they withhold, the auth­ orities possess a mass of circumstan­ tial evidence. This is Young's confession In sub- stance: "I am William Hooper Young. "In justice to myself I want to make this confession of the part I played In the killing of Mrs. Pulitzer, of which 1 am aocused. J did not commit the crime alone. If I am guilty at all, it is only in part, and that not the great­ er part. I had an accomplice. Woman Was Dead. "The woman was dead when I found her. That is all I can say here. She was dead when I found her. I in­ flicted the wound in the abdomen, but she was dead before I did it It was I also who put the body in the closet. And it was I who disposed of the body. "But with all my connection with the crime I solemnly protest that the woman was dead before I laid hands on her. "Afterward we went away together. Thursday we spent in Brewster, hav lng walked there. I do not care to say what we did after that, but I think my accomplice is in Bridgeport now. Accuses Another. In his confession Young claims that another accomplice actually commit­ ted the murder. Young is reported le have stated that he and Charles Simpson Eiling of Bridgeport, Conn., lured the woman to Young's fiat, where Young left them for a while On his return Young says that Eiling, who immediately fied, told him that he had killed the woman by giving her a dose of chloral hydrate in a glass of beer. Tried to 8ave Friend. Anxious to save his friend, Young SSid that ±16 attcuiptSd tO diSHiSmbSr the body, but that 'his nerve failed him and he subsequently removed it in a trunk. No such man as Eiling is known in Bridgeport and the police regard the confession as an effort on the part of Young to shield himself. Eiling is the name to which Young addressed the trunk to Chicago. Young says that he expected Eiling to go to Chicago and claim the trunk. Is Terror-Stricken. Young, ever since his arrest In the guise of a tramp, had shown signs of nervousness, but these developed Into the extreme of terror when several of his former friends entered the cell and swore to his identity as the grandson of Bringham . Young, the Mormon leader. Since that time his condition has grown worse, his whole body twitching spasmodically, while at fre­ quent. Intervals he is seized with an ague fit of violent trembling.

The Roumanian government, with­ out waiting for the result of pending diplomatic action, will reply at onca to the charges made against it ln| the note addressed to the powers bfl the United States protesting against the treatment of tho Roumanian Jews, j Germany Sympathizes. Though the attitude of the German government has not yet been defined, it la probable that it will be one at sympathy with the American action, particularly as It is assumed in Berlin that Secretary Hay received ao* surance3 before moving that he would be supported by the British cabinet. The powers are now exchanging views on the American note. The comment of the Berlin press on Secretary's Hay note shows how ) deeply the action of the United States has impressed political and diplomatic circles here. Europe Should Remove Wrongs. "The American note to the Berlin signatories," says the Vossische Zel* tung, "represents one of the most in­ teresting documents in contemporary* hlBtory and is one of the most re­ markable political acts of the present day, for it is the first time that the diplomacy of the United States draws into its sphere of activity occurrences i within a European commonwealth. Under any circumstances, the United States has the sympathies of the civ­ ilized world, and it would be highly shameful to the governments of Eu­ rope that the wrongs should be re* moved by the action of America." Out of Line. There are discordant notes. The Lokalanzeiger says: "The note is quite characteristic at > the American style of thinking. It is peculiar that the United States, so jealous of the Monroe doctrine, should concern itself with a matter which is strictly European, and more par­ ticularly the internal business of an 1 independent kingdom."
