ARCHBISHOP" LAXGEVIX'S ORDER CAUSING A SEASATIOX. Ilia Threat to Excommunicate Certain Manitoba Catholics Xot Based on a Papal- Encyclical. WINNIPEG, Manitoba. April 16. Nothing since the beginning of the Catholic school struggle in this country has created a greater sensation than the announcement of the Catholic archbishop that Catholics who henceforth lend their aid and influence to those who would abolish parochial schools will be excommunicated. Many prominent Catholics have during the struggle of the church expressed themselves in favor of a national school system, and among these the announcement has created the greatest consternation. At first it was thought to be simply a move on the part of Archbishop Langevln, and done without either the authority of Mgr. Satolli or of the Pope, but to-day it was learned positively that Langevin's action is based on authority received direct from Rome. It is understood that Archbishop Langevln last week received a papal encyclical on the question. This encyclical reviews the entire school matter, and points out that the case of the United States and Canada are not analogous. In Canada, and particularly in Manitoba, it points out that Catholic schools were guaranteed by treaty and by the Constitution, while no such guarantee was given In the States. The parochial schools belong to Manitoba Catholics by right of treaty, it declares, and on this ground it affirms that the Catholics who continue to lend their aid , to those who would take away these rights shall not be received into communion' with the church. Archbishop Langevln, speaking on the matter, ivas most emphatic. These were his words. "The hierarchy of the Catholic Church has spoken, and all those who do not follow the hierarchy are not Catholics. When the hierarchy has spoken there is no use for any Catholic to say the contrary, for, if he does, he is no longer a Catholic. Such a man may carry the title, but I declare this, as an archbishop I 6ay and say it with plain authority a Catholic who does not follow the hierarchy on the school question is no more a Catholic. And who will be the one to entitle such, a one to the name of Catholic? Where is the society which will give him authority to call himself a Catholic, when I, in my authority as a Catholic bishop, declare that such a man has no right to the name? Let us repeat: The Catholic hierarchy have not the slightest desire to govern the country, as has been freely and falsely charged, for we are bound by the law and will submit to the law, as every one else must 'In God we trust' that 13 our motto. We will stand by the Constitution of the country, but we will have no Godless schools." It is reported that a meeting of the Roman Catholic dignitaries will shortly be held in New York city to discuss and take some action on the Manitoba school question. The church In 'Manitoba is expecting some aid for their church in the United States, and although Mgr. Satolli's jurisdiction does not extend to Manitoba, it ia understood that Catholics here anticipate he will throw his great influence in their behalf. In an interview to-night his Grace, Archbishop Langevin denies that any encyclical had been received or was expected from the Pope, but admitted that he had received a letter from the Cardinal Vicar Ledochoskl, saying that he wa3 pleased with the attitude of the episcopacy of Canada in the matter. The epistle, however, was a mere matter of courtesy, and culd not be considered an edict from Rome. The cardinalgeneral, in his letter, added a word against Godless schools, that is, schools from which religious teaching would be eliminated altogether. , "Supposing that a Catholic should support the public school system of the prov-' fnce, your Grace, what would be the attitude of the church towards him or his family?" the Archbishop was asked. "He would not be considered a good Catholic. He would not deserve the name of a good Catholic, but would not be excommunicated, as it i3 not heresy. A broad spirit of toleration is to be fostered rather .than one which savors of narrowness and is likely to provoke ill feeling. No, we wish to have our schools, certainly, but we unite with the Anglican clergy and others in denouncing the introduction of purely secular schools. No Catholic worthy of the name will support a movement for such an end. "Then your Grace's policy," said the correspondent, "Is practically the same as that enunciated by Mgr. Satolli?" , , . "Practically the same; conciliatory and firm, but not aggressive," was his Grace's reply. " Movements of Steamers. SOUTHAMPTON. April 16.

ACCEPTED BY CHINA

LI HIXG CUAXG AUTHORIZED TO SIGX THE TREATY OF PEACE. Imperial Edict Issued by the EmperorThe Indemnity" 200,000,000 Teals Instead of $100,000,000. TIEN-TSIN, April 17. An Imperial edict has been Issued authorizing Li Hung Chang to sign the terms of peace in accordance with the Japanese ultimatum. The indemnity to be paid by China is two hundred million taels. The edict further authorizes Li Hung Chang to grant possession of Liao Tung peninsula to the fortieth degree of latitude and the island of Formosa to the' Japanese; also, to consent to the opening of Peking and four new ports to commerce and to giving the Japanese power to open cotton factories and other industries In China. The decree further provides that the import dues at the open ports-will not exceed 2 per cent. Another imperial edict grants sick leave to the Viceroy of Canton and orders , his retirement to his native province. MRS. FOSTER'S ADVICES. Dispatch from the General Announcing the Conclusion of Negotiations. WASHINGTON, April 16. Mrs. John W. Foster, wife of the ex-Secretary of State, to-day received a dispatch from her husband, who is confidential adviser to the Chinese peace envoy, confirming the report that articles of peace had been signed between China and Japan. The cablegram said that the peace agreement was signed yesterday, and that Mr. Foster would be home on June 1. The dispatch came from ShomonosekJ, where he still remains with H Hung Chang, - although recent reports have stated that he had gone to Peking. The message is in cipher, according to a code in use between Mr. and Mrs. Foster. Although very brief and absolutely bare of details, Mrs. Foster regards the message as a finality, as the General has not cabled the incidental proceedings, it being understood between them that in the event of something final and authoritative there would be a cable. Secretary Gresham late this afternoon received a cablegram from. Minister Dun, at Tokio, confirming the signing of the peace convention. As understood here, the terms agreed on . are in conformity with those already published, saying the indemnity, which was subsequently reduced, would probably amount to a sum sufficient to cover all of Japan's war expenses. It is doubted, though, whether it has been brought down as low as one hundred million dollars in gold. As to the territory which Japan ia to possess, it is understood here, that aside from Formosa, which is absolutely ceded, the remainder will be subject only to temporary occupation, probably until all of the indemnity has been paid. This would leave Japan in the temporary possession of the entire Llao-Tung peninsula, from Port Arthur, at the southern ' extremity, clear up to Mukden, the capital of Manchuria, on the north, and from the Liao river, on which New Chwang is situated, on the west to the Corean border on the east. This area amounts to about 37,000 square miles, and is populated by about two million people. The report of a condition that there should be an alliance offensive and defensive between Japan and China is not credited in Japanese circles, where it is not believed to have been suggested. It is said that the feeling between the two peoples Is so hostile and the difference of government and habit are so pronounced that even if such a stipulation were included it would not be expected to have any great binding force should China hereafter be able to find a powerful ally among the European powers. On the other hand, some of the diplomates here are inclined to believe that the alliance has really been made with an earnest purpose to execute it. They see in it the realization of the prophecy an eminent scholar recently made, that these two nations would eventually combine against Occidental methods and commerce, and their -watchword would be, "The Orient for. the Orientals." Old Li Hung Chang is said to have entertained a strong conviction (which he has concealed from prudential motives) as to the wisdom of such a combination, believing that by a close alliance with Japan, China would secure an arm strong in military prowess, while Japan would secure in return practical control of the commerce of the greatest trading people of the East. Of course, such a consummation as this would mean the destruction of European commercial interests in the Orient, and it may be that strong opposition will soon develop on the part of some of the powers to this feature of the agreement. It is' noted, by the way, that this agreement is not final in all respects, but is simply a preliminary agreement, indicating on broad lines the ultimate terms of the definite treaty of peace which may not be perfected for months to come. Several Particulars Omitted. LONDON, April 16. The Japanese minister here In an interview to-day said that he had not received information that peace had been concluded on the terms stated in the dispatches this morning. He added that the terms given omitted several particulars which he knew Japan had advanced, notably the favored nation treatment and other commercial concessions. He also said that the amount of indemnity mentioned was very small, but he believed that the clauses referring to the independence of Corea and the cession of the island of Formosa were correct. Clauses two and three, the minister remarked, were difficult to understand, while an offensive and defensive alliance between China and Japan, referred to In the sixth clause, was, in his opinion, scarcely reconcilable with the present requirements of Japfen. Yamagnta Is Xot John Orth. WASHINGTON, April 16. Officials of the Japanese legation here are in a position to explode the sensational story printed in the London Standard, that Japan's field marshal. Count Yamagata, is in reality Archduke Johann of Austria,' who disappeared several years ago. Count Yamagata is well and personally known to Consul Stevens, of the legation here. He visited Washington a few years ago and made many friends. Mr. Stevens says Yamagata is a native Japanese, being one of the chosen element which has produced such men as Count Ito and, Count Inayle. Yamagata's whole life almost has been spent In Japan. An English Dnke to Wed a. Queen. .. LONDON. April 16. The World publishes a report to the effect that Prince Alfred of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, eldest son and heir of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha (more generally known as the Duke of .Edinburgh) is likely to be betrothed to the young Queen, Wilhelmina, of Holland. The young Queen was born at The Hague, on Aug. 31, 18S0, and the young Prince was born in London, on Oct. 15, 1874.

The action of the Toledo Board of Trade in petitioning the Secretary of War to look into the changes in the lake level likely to be produced by the flow through the Chicago drainage canal is condemned by the drainage officials hero. Bernard Eckhart. of the drainage j board, said to-day that the talk on the subject comes from tne iaae trie region, and is the result of sectional fears. Tha flow into the canal will cause a slight lowering of the lake, level, be says, but not

sufficiently to affect materially the depth of harbvrs. The engineers report on the matter. Mr. Eckhaxt said, showed that the average lowering of the level- would be two Inches, and not to exceed five Inches. AN AMERICAN "LIBERTY BELL."

The deputation included Rev. James Cargin and Mrs. Cargin, the Misses McClelland, Dr. and Mrs. MacCullagh, the Mayoress, the Dean of Derry, the high sheriff, Mr. John Cooke, J. P. The presentation consisted of a handsome bell, cast from the metal of historic rejlcs, mounted on a stand with a wheel to set It in motion, the bell bearing the ' inscriptions: "Glory to God in the highest; on earth peace and good will towards men. Londonderry, Ireland, Christmas, 1804. From sons of Londonderry in the United States of America." - The Mayor introduced Rev. Mr. Cargin to the corporation, and said he wished to address them on an interesting subject. Rev. Mr. Cargin said his tirst duty was to thank the Mayor and corporation very sincerely, which he did in his own name and also in those of the deputation before them, for their kindness and courtesy in receiving them and permitting him to address them in connection with a matter of very considerable moment. During the autumn of last year, the citizens of Derry were favored with a visit from a very celebrated and highly honored American lady, one Mrs. Mary Frost Ormsby. She was a delegate sent over from America in connection with the Human Freedom League, and she was also a delegate from the Peace Congress of the United States of America. When here she found relatives of her own in the person of the Misses McClelland, whom he (Mr. Cargin) had the honor of representing that day, and on whose behalf he desired to present to the citizens of Derry, through the Mayor and corporation, a "bell of liberty" or liberty belL It might interest those present and the general public If he gave to them a kind of historical resume of the circumstances under which this bell, which he had the honor of presenting to Derry, came into existence. It was known that in the city of Philadelphia there was a great bell of liberty, commonly known as the "old Liberty Bell." This bell was in use in the great revolutionary period, and when the Americans declared their Independence the bell was rung with such great enthusiasm that the bell became cracked in the ringing. Well, that country was about to enter on a career of freedom and progress that has been unexampled in the history of the world, and wnen'the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America came to be commemorated it was thought to be a nice thing to have a new . bell of libertyeast that could be rung and known throughout the world as the symbol of freedom. Accordingly, they sent out invitations for historic relics to be sent in as the material. Some very precious relics were sent forward for the purpose, and when they came forward a portion of them was melted, and the great bell was cast in -the June of 1893. But there were some very precious ' and valuable relics which could not all be cast into the .bell, and it was suggested that of these a plough might be lormea; lor tnere were some 22,000 metal relics and 200 pieces of wood. Then a plough was made out of the same metals frorr. which the "liberty bell" had been cast, and in this way symbolically . it had gone forth that they had "turned their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks," and they had sounded out the note proclaiming that as far as they, men and women in America, were concerned, they should learn the art of war no more. He held in his hand a list of the relics, and might mention a few of them. After referring to a number of the relics, Mr. Cargin went on to say that in connection with the casting of this bell there was a quantity of surplus metal, the generosity of America having sent in so much, more than was necessary for malting the bell and the plough, and the Human Freedom League thought it would be a good thing that in addition to this liberty bell, which was to be rung on the Fourth of July, the anniversary of American independece, and to ring peace and good will to men it occurred to them that they might cast a few more bells which might be given to cities that had a history in connection with struggles for human freedom. When Mrs. Ormsby visited Derry last year and mentioned this matter it was suggested to her that Derry better than other cities that were enumerated deserved a "liberty bell" such as was proposed. The lady ' set to work, believing in the suggestion, and secured from the Human Freedom League the bell now before them and which had an inscription peculiar to Derry. It was "Londonderry, Ireland, Christmas. 1S94. From Sons of Londonderry in the United States of America." It was known to the lady he had mentioned that but for the brains and bravery of some of the sons of Londonderry who went out at the time that America was about to form the base of her Constitution, neither the base nor the form of that Constitution would have been so good as they now were. It was known that some sons of Londonderry helped to lay the s base for the Constitution of the United States and strengthen Washington's hands in a work out of which had grown one of the most marvelous developments in human progress and liberty the world had ever seen. Therefore, he had now the great privilege and high honor of representing the ladies and of presenting the Mayor and members of this corporation with this beautiful bell and he would ask them to take care of It and secure a place for it in the City Hall. He hoped thefre would shortly be .a museum for that and such like things. He trusted they would all now accept it as a smybol of human liberty, hoping that the be3t peace relations would always exist between this country and America and that the city of Derry would always be ready to speak a word for human freedom; te soeak a word for human peace, and to speak a word for human liberty. He, therefore, asked their kind acceptance of this gift from the League of Human Freedom in America. . ... Councilor MacCullaglr moved "That the most "hearty and cordial thanks of the Mayor, corporation and the citizens of Londonderry be accorded to Mrs. Frost Ormsby for her great kindness In procuring and sending to us the beautiful and harmonious peace bell of liberty, and that we also thank her respected relatives, the Misses McClelland, for their kind Interest and exertions in helping to obtain for us this touching and valuable gift." . The resolution, having 'been put, was unanimously adopted. The Mayor, on behalf of the corporation, begged most respectfully to thank, in the first instance, the Rev. Mr. Cargin. for his great kindness in waiting upon them and making them a very valuable presentation. In speaking of the gift theyhad received as a valuable one he was referring to its intrinsic worth. He took it upon himself to say that he understood something of the subject, and so he assured those rresent that the workmanship of this peace bell, in his opinion, could not toe exeeHad. whether as regards its design. Its casting, or its polish. The city of Londonderry had alwayseen, and. he trusted, it will always be famed for its noble stand in regard to freedom of speeech. freedom in the exercise of religious belief. It was scarcely necessary for him. on behalf of the corporation, to tell the deputation that they would treasure this gift as a fitting memento of the freedom which had been so nobly and gracefully spoken of by Rev. Mr. Cargin. Thev would guard it with that jealous care which a relic of such inestimable value as that now placed before them deserved. rIv Air? Cargin then briefly thanked the Mayor and corporation, and the deputation Sveral suggestions were then made by the members of the corporation as to where the bell would be placed. - Councillor Turner thought it should be nlaced under a glass shade and put upon a brackerin the council chamber and this idea seemed to meet with general favor.

n CASE OF ACTOR HESS PLl'XGED A DAGGER ISTO HIS OWN HEART AXD DID NOT DIE. Wound Was First Pronounced Fatal, but the Surgeons Experimented and Saved the Man's Life. San Francisco Chronicle. When men receive knife wounds In the heart the public demands that they keel gracefully ever and die. This Is a timehonored custom, and the exceptions "to it are few and far between. There is one in thi3 city, however, and his case has already become celebrated in local medical circles. He is Clyde Hess, actor. Less than a year ago. In an alcoholic freak, he jabbed the point a dagger into his heart, and yet he lives to act in as good. If not better, health than ever. The Pacific Medical Journal, in its . current issue, devotes two pages to a review of the case and the course of treatment followed by Dr. Tenison Deane. the attending surgeon. Hess was in the Auditorium saloon on Powell street about 3 o'clock on tho afternoon of June 4 last. He had been drinking quite heavily during the day and was much the worse for wear. Accompanying him were several well-known theatrical people. They all lined up to tho bar, ordered drinks and were talking on the first subject at hand when suddenly, without a word of warning, Hess drew a dagger from his pocket and plunged it into his breast. So quickly was it done that his companions thought he was going through a mock tragedy for their amusement, as he staggered across the floor and against the wall. A moment later the bloody dagger fell from his grasp, the warm blood spouted after it and the young actor sank limply to the floor, stabbed to the heart. When laid on the operating table at the receiving hospital it was discovered ; that the weapon had penetrated to a depth of four and a half inches into the chest. The point of entrance was one inch to tho left of the sternum and over the fourth rib. The point of the knife had slipped over the bone and passed through the fourth, intercostal space and through the wall of the left ventricle of the heart. The wound was immediately pronounced fatal. , ' An antiseptic dressing was applied and the patient put to bed. An icebag was placed over the dressing and ergot and convallarla majalis were administered. The heart beat was 150 per minute and very irregular, there being a distinct murmur at the second heart sound. Hess recovered consciousness the next day, "but was very weak from loss of blood and the condition of his heart. Respiration was seriously interfered with. Dr. Deane removed eighteen ounces of blood, a little more than a pint, by using an aspirator. After this the heart beat improved, although there was marked mitral regurgitation. The patient was then given small do3es of convallarla majalis every three hours. The next day there was a marked Improvement in the condition of Hess. Another pint of blood was drawn off and the temperature was reduced to 99.6. Five days later he was removed to his home, and the very next day had two fainting spells. Dr. Deane found, at this time, that from the nature of the original wound fluid and air could be expelled, but none could enter. The point where the knife had entered was at least half an inch higher than where It had penetrated the intercostal space, the passage forming a valve which allowed the. outward passage of fluids, but remained closed . to the outside air. From this fact alone the case was a remarkable one. not to speak of the manner in which the heart stood the rough manipulation neoessary to the treatment followea. With a contrivance composed of a double catheter, an inspirator and a douche bag, the surgeon was able to siphon off the accumulation and wash out the cavity with boraclc acid in hot water. The curved silver catheter was put through the wound and passed around the iheart. From June 12 to July 6 the douches were kept up regularly, and on July 15 the patient felt quite well. The wound troubled him no longer and nothing remained but the valvular trouble. Hess was then removed to Fruitvale to rest until the original wound healed up. Dr. Deane not seeing him again until Aug. 1 He called at the house where his patient was stopping and found him at work in the garden. The Doctor found that heart trouble still existed and all the idiopathic symptoms of mitral regurgitation were quite apparent. He insisted that Hess should rest and continue the doses of convallarla majalis. Dr. Deane did not see him again until a month had passed, when, after a careful examination, he tuuld discern not the least heart murmur. During the thirty days preceding the heart had returned to its normal condition. Hess stated that he'nad been ill for three days during the middle of the month of August, when he had had great pain in his heart and a rapid irregular pulse. Since that time Clyde Hess' has been a well man, despite the fact that the knife of Bandit Sontag had punched a hole in his heart; despite the further fact that the silver catheter of the surgeon and the fingers of that gentleman had pushed the heart out of position time and time again. A peculiar feeling, Hess told his doctor, came over him as these foreign bodies touched the heart, rather numbing than anything else. Last week he played leading juvenile roles and is now preparing to go on the road with a company. He has passed the stage where he cares to plunge any more daggers into himself and has no pleasant recollection of the last attempt, save his remarkable recovery. That it was a remarkable recovery Is attested by the most eminent authorities on surgery. Erichsen, whose work is a standard. In speaking of wounds of the heart, says: "These injuries are generally immediately fatal from the loss of blood and the nervous shock the patient .sustains. There are many cases on record, however, of persons, who have walked or run some considerable distance after receiving a wound of the heart. "JPrs. Oliver and Samson," continued Erichsen, "have collated twenty-nine cases of penetrated wound of the heart that did not prove fatal in the forty-eight hours after ths receipt of the injury. On analysis it is found that the rapidity of the death depends srreatly on the direction of the wound and the part of the organ injured. When the wound is parallel to the axis of the heart (as It was in the Hess case) It is not so speedily fatal as when in a transverse direction. The wounds of the auricle are more immediately followed by death, than those of the ventricle." Without referring to numerous cases reported by earlier surgeons there are a sufficient number of instances reported by modern writers to prove that an individual may live for many days and even recover altogether from wounds of the heart. Latour, a French army surgeon, records the case of a soldier who lived for six years after having been wounded with a musket ball in the right ventricle. The ball was found in the heart at the post mortem. Dr. G. Fisher, an eminent German professor, who has written an extensive treatise on wounds of the heart, mentions one case, that of a bell-hanger, who was shot, the bullet lodging In the left ventricle. He lived for twenty j'ears after the shooting, and at the post mortem the bullet was found encapsuled. These cases are not numerous enough to take from the luster of Hess's achievement In persisting to live and grow well and act strongly after the dig he gave himself in that organ, with which actors, as well as other people, are supposed to love. He remains a wonder to the world and somewhat of a conundrum to the doctors. Squatters Ejected. PENDER. Neb.. Anrll 16.
