Marquis Sacripantl. clad In the ncarlet. cold and white uniform of the Noble Guard, wearing h!i?h top boots, and wword and helmet on, advancing from his post near the center of the altar and deposited on a table at the left hand of Cardinal Gibbons the cardinalitlal documents and the berretta. Then he crossed the altar and stood In front of the throne occupied by Satolli, lifted his helmet and, falling back, took up a position to the nrht of Satolli. On the same side stood Eugene Kelly, of New York, and on the opposite side of SatolH's throne stood Charles Astor Brfstaed. also of New York, chamberlains to the Pope. Roth were clad In the regulation black cloth swallow-tall coat and the .low-cut vest of evening dress. TWO PAPAL. BRIEFS. As soon as all the principal actors In the spectacle had assumed their positions, Dr. Rooker, of the University of Washington, advanced, and In Latin, read the following document to Satolli from the Pope: "Our beloved son, health and apostolic benediction. Although unworthy, beinjr constituted by divine mercy In the sublimity of the apostolic see, and by virtue of our ofhe having: care of the welfare of the Catholic Church, among our chief solicitudes Is that the college of our venerable brothers, the cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, should le kept brilliant .by most distinguished men, a the dignity of that mast splendid order demands. For this reaFon we have determined t inscribe you In their number: for your great piety, your zeal for the Catholic faith, your learning, prudence and other most admirable qualities and gifts of mind lead us to hope that your ministry will be of great use and benefit to the church of God. To you, therefore, created by us a cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, we send oa one of the Insignia of this sublime dignity the red berretta by our beloved son.

"Giver, at St. Peter's, Rome, under the seal of tho Fisherman, on the 9th day of November. ifc. in the eighteenth year of our Pontificate. 'C. CARD. DE RCGGIERO." He then crosd to the throne occupied by Cardinal Gibbons, handed .him another papal brief, which was read aloud by Father Marnlen. It I as fellows: "Our belovrr son. health and apostolic benediction. Following in the footsteps of our predecessors, the Roman Pontiffs, we have always been desirlous that the Senate of Cardinals yhouIJ abound with men whose religion and virtue and brilliant gifts of mind should correspond with the great fplendor and dignity of that college. We have, therefore, thought well to create a cardinal of the Holy Roman Catholic Church our venerable brother, Francis Satolli. titular Archbtehop of Lepanto and delegate of the Apostolic See In the republic of the United States of America, whose piety, learning, devotion to the Roman iee. zeal and industry in cultivating the field of the Lord have been so plainly manifest to us that we have deemed him worthy of so great an honor. "Now, however, since some one must be chosen to confer the berretta, one of the insignia of hi new dignity, we have determined to commit that nffire tr vmr be

loved bon, wherefore, by our apostolic authority, by these presents, we commit to you the office of conferring in our name, on our beloved son. Francis Satolli. created Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, the red berretta, which we have sent him by our beloved son, Donatus Sbarretti, one of our private chamberlains, observing all and singly the laws which are prescribed by the rites of the church; and we, therefore, concede and impart to you. by the Fame apostol'c authority-, and by these presents, all the faculties which may be necessary or opportune. All apostolic constitutions anil ordinances, even thoug'.i they might need special and individual mention and designation to the contrary notwithstanding.

Cardinal Priest of the Holy Roman Church, Gibbons, by apostolic dispensation Archbishop of Baltimore." Till! CKItKMO.NY. Aridreftnen 1i- Kr. Sbnrretll nnil Cardinal Glhbonn and Satolli. The reading of papal briefs having been finished. Mgr. Sbarretti advanced to a point in front of Cardinal Gibbons' throne and delivered an address in Latin, of which the following part is a translation: The honorable ofllce which the Supreme Pontiff, leo XIII, has designed to confer upon me la mcst grateful and acceptable to rae because it is a testimonial of pontifical consideration: because by me are being ear ned the insignia of fo exalted a dignity to I tilp.n to wruim I r.'iVfl vor ho.n .nn 1 twt ine i;cs ci me greatest veneration ana re spect, and because It Is. as it were, the seal v! supreme- authority upon all that has been accomplished." Te speaker then paid a high tribute to the character of Satolli and reviewed the tvork accomplished by him since his coming to this country. In conclusion, he s.v 1: "The honor which is bestowed upon te mcst eminent Cardinal Satolli redounds on the universal church and specially on the church in America. It proves that the Catholic: Church under that "tulty of laws with which this Nation is blest can freely exert its activity and bear rich fruit. Deservedly the Supreme Pontiff highly esteems and dearly loves the young mid valiant American people. Deservedly he has given to tiem this signal honor of tc-iay. for it is most rare, not to sav unique; that an apostolic delegate should be raised to the d'gnity and decorated with the insignia of cardinal in that place in which he has fulfilled his mission. Rut it Is given to us to see conferred on him who has won for himself the gool will of all the insignia of that funreme authority in this venerable metropolitan church, which Is. as It were, the mother of all the other churches in the United States, and in the midst of this splendid gathering of bishops, priests ani people. I be; your Kmlnence to receive these Insignia as a pledge of the high esteem an 1 affection of Leo XIII toward tne American church and people an 1 as a ve',l-deerve 1 regard to him who has usel with such marked success all his zeal for increasing the honor and extent of the holy Catholic Church in America." GUIDONS TO SATOLLI. When Mgr. Sbarretti had finished speaking Cardinal Gibbons responded briefly In lAtin, and then, turning towards the throne occupied by Satolli, spoko in English a3 follows: "Your Imminence I regard It as a great honor and privilege to be chosen by the Holy Father to act as his oelegate and representative In conferring on 'you the berretta a the symbol of the exalted dignity to which you "have been raised. It must be a source of special gratification to your Imminence to contemplate around you en this auplciouH occasion so lare a number of the leading, prelates and clergy of the country who cherish a high admiration for your talents and learning, and veneiate you for your apostolic virtues, and who have gathered here frcr-i various portions of the United States and from Canada to testify by their presence their Joy nnd satisfaction at th eminent dignity to which you have been raised by our Holy Father. Leo XIII." The vast audience became all atten tion as It reared the most Interesting point in an tne ceremony, that of actually conprnn? ine iierretra 'am ni i:iKrn scendea from his throne and advanced to the front of the altar. Rehlnd him came his attendants. Father Magnien bearing the berretta. As Cardinal Gibbons reached the altar and turned to face tae au Hence. Silolll arose, and. tscorted by sacripantl and chamberlains Kelly and Rristaed. waUed with a brisk step toward CardinalVjibbons. On reaching this illustrious prelate he knelt nl towed nts head. Cardinal Gibbon took the berretta from the silver- sal

ver on which It rested, and. slowly unfolding It, held It hlqh up so that the audience could see it. Then stooping, and with what seemed to be a softly murmured prayer, he placed it on the head of the new cardinal. Cardinal Satolli rose, and for the first time in its history there were two cardinals on American soil. THE NEW CARDINAL'S ADDRESS. Advancing to the front of the altar. Cardinal Satolli then delivered the following address: Your Eminence From the day in which I received the first notification of the intention of his holiness to promote, me to the carlinalate, and of his determination that the insignia of that sublime dignity should be conferred upon me by your Eminence's hands, I rejoiced that it was through you that I was to receive this token of pontifical favor and honor. For from the time of my coming to this country I have received from your Eminence nothing but the greatest kindness and consideration, and this solemn act of to-day is but a fitting crown to thse relations which Eave so happily existed between us. It was you who received me at my coining, and who immediately became my friend and most zealous protector. It was with the aid of your wise counsels and comforting encouragements, and with the continued assistance of all the prelates of this great American hierarchy, that my labors progressed and were crowned with success. "It is certainly a source of great and sincere satisfaction to me that this function should be held here In America, where I have received so many attestations of good will and affection. In the midst of the people of this great and glorious Nation, where truth and liberty are Joined with that spirit of Christian love which is their most potent safeguard and the pledge of perpetual peace and tranquility. This is the third occasion on which it has .been an honor and a pleasure to me to be present in this venerable cathedral, surrounded by the prelates, the clergy and the most distinguished people of the country, and to unite with them In celebrating a festival of joy. "The first occasion was the day on which was commemorated the first century of the existence of the American hierarchy. Then was this church filled with a gathering similar to that which has now come together, gathered to thank God, with joy, not unmixed with wonder and amazement at the remarkable growth and progress of th Catholic Church In one century under this Republic. The second was the day on which we all convened here again, to do honor to your Eminence, America's cardinal archbishop, on the occasion of your silver episcopal jubilee. Then did the whole country rejoice that God had preserved your Eminence for so long a time to guide by our wisdom and aid by your counsels the growth of the American church, and beg that same divine providence to spare you for still many years for the good of the church and the Nation. "I hope and pray that this will mark the beginning of an era still more brilliant and still more prosperous for the church and for the country. May the success which has attended the development and growth of this great Nation go on increasing; may its power and importance grow greater and make themselves more and more felt throughout the world for the good of humanity." SATOLLI CELEBRATES MASS. On finishing his address the newly made cardinal, who up to this time had worn the robes of an archbishop, retired to the inner sanctuary and in a few minutes returned, clad in the gorgeous apparel of a cardinal. He was seen In these but a few moments, however, as he was almost immediately robed In tho white and gold vestments of the mass, which ho was to celebrate. Assisted by his priests and deacons, he proceeded with this, amid the breathless attention of tho vast audience. When the gospel was reached a movable pulpit was pushed to the- center of the auditorium and Archbishop Kain. of St. Louis, ascending it, delivered the sermon. In conclusion he said: "There cannot but be some element of self-interest In our tendering to him our consratulatlons on his elevation to the cardlnalate, and in the heart-felt wish and prayer that God may bless him with many years cf life for the good of the church at large, and more especially for the good of the church in the United States, to which he has enjoyed the distinguished honor of being the first delegate apostolic an honor which. we Americans, with pardonable pride in the importance of our country among Christian nations, are willing to believe may, in the case of his successors as In his case, prove a stepping stone to still higher honors." At the close of the mass Cardinal Gibbons arose and said that he had the interesting announcement to make that the Holy Father had cabled his congratulations and that he had authorized the speaker to pronounce the apostolic benediction on all those present. At his request Dr. Rooker read the cablegram, which. Cardinal Gibbons said, he wished particularly to say was spontaneous and not evoked by any suggestion from this side of the Atlantic. Is is as follows: "To His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore: "The extraordinary splendor accompanying the conferring of the berretta on Cardinal nal Satolli gratifies the Holy Father beyond measure, and he asks your Eminence to express his satisfaction. Furthermore, as a token of his deep appreciation, he empowers your Eminence to impart to all present at the ceremony the apostolic benediction." The Cardinal pronounced the benediction and the ceremony was ended. ROMAN CARDINALS.

IIott They Are Created, Their Showy "Wardrobe and Dlsr Red Hats. All cardinals are appointed by the Pope, who, as a rule, announces such appointments to a secret consistory of the existing holders of that office. The names are made public at the open consistory next following. Their number is limited to seventy, and they compose what Is known as the Sacred College. Twenty-nine of the members of that body, as at present constituted, have been appointed by the reigning Polntiff. If the appointed is a resident of Rome, he Is invested with the red hat, which is his badge of office, at the consistory following the first announcement of his appointment. If he resides, or is stationed elsewhere, it Is usually the custom to send notice of his appointment by . a member of the Noble. Guard, who In most instances is accompanied by an ablegate, usually a member of the Pope's household. The member of the Noble Guard bears with him a letter from the Pope notifying the new cardinal of his appointment, and the zuchetto and berretta, which is to form part of the Cardinal's wardrobe. They are expected to proceed on their mission with all passible haste, and as soon as practicable after the appointment, the appointee Is Invested with the zuchetto, and presented with the notice of his elevation, it then becomes the duty of the ablegate to publicly crown him with tho berretta, In accordance with the ritual of the Roman Catholic Church. Mgr. Cesare RoucettI was the ablegate and Count Marefonschl the member of the Papal Guard who came to this country at the elevation of the late Cardinal McCloskey. The berretta was dmposed by Archbishop Rayley, the Archbishop of Baltimore. The ceremony was performed in Old St. Patrick's Cathedral. New York, April 22, 1873, being preceded by a solemn pontifical mass, celebrated by Rlshop Loughhn, of Brooklyn. Although Cardinal MoCloskey was made a member of the College of Cardinals by Pope Pias IX, he received the red hat from Leo XIII. He was summoned to Rome at the death of Pius IX, but did not reach there until after the electioa of Leo, from whom he received his hat. and his title of Santa Mane Sopra Minerva. In the case of Cardinal Gibbons, Mgr. Straniero and Count Mussiola were the messengers from Rome. Archbishop Peter R. Kennck. of St. Iau;s, imposed tne berretta in the cathedral here on Juno 30, ISsrt, after a rras3 celebration by Archbishop Williams, of Boston. The Cardinal afterward went to Rome and was vested with the red hat and the title of Santa Marie la Trastavere. Within six months after his investtire with the zuchetto and berretta. Cardinal Satolli will, in compliance with, nls omciat oath, go to Rome to visit the tombs of the apostles, and the ceremony which makes him a full member of the Sabred College, entitled to vote for Leo's successor, then takes place. This is the most important anu interesting of all the ceremonies. A cardinal's wardrobe Is a most complicated afTair. He wears three colors cardinal, violet ani old rose and must have a complete outfit in each of these colbrs. The different colors are prescribed for different seasons of the ecclesiastical year. The red Is worn throughout the year, except during the penitential season of Lent and Advent, when the violet is worn, except the third Sunday of Advent and except the fourth Sunday cf Lent, when the old rose is substituted. The violet is selected because of its association with mourning, and on the particular Suniays on whi?h the oil rose is used an occasion of rejoicing for a day brightens the gloom of the penitential season. The red is chosen as the distinguishing color of a cardinal, because his loyalty to the faith Is assumed to Include willingness to ihed his blood for It. Th red hat Is a peculiar feature of the wurdrjbe of a Cardinal, it is odily shaped.

the brim being six feet across. The material is cardinal beaver. It is round and in striking contrast to the immense fiat brim is a small, conical shaped crown, quite too small, apparently, to fit anybody's head. Rut that is another queer feature of the red hat. It is not intenled to fit anybody's heal. The ro'.e use to which It Is put other than symbolizing the distinction of Its recipient at the time it is bestowed is to be hung in the cardinal's church altar after his death. Cardinal MeCloskey's red hat is conspicuously suspended near the high altar in St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York. The Baltimore Cathedral, in which today's ceremony took place, is one of the most interesting of all the historical church buiUtngs in America. It lies in one of the most fashionable quarters of the city, upon an eminence that commands a goo! view from every quarter. The main entrance is upon Cathedral street, upon which .dde it, together with a small sanctuary, takes up about two-thirds of the entire block from Cathedral street to Charles, and the building is In the form of a cross, with the arms extending parallel with Cathedral street. In the rear cf the church building and facing Charles street, is the cardinal's palace, an unpretentious, but spacious building, built of the same material of which the cathedral Is composed. The cornerstone of the cathedral wits laid on July 7, lS'.tf, and work was begun immediately. It continued slowly and lth but few interruptions until 1S12. when it was stopped by the war with England and lack of funds. In 1S15 work was resumed and the edifice was practically completed In 1821. Six months before Its dedication the pews In the building were sold at auction and realized over JtO.OoO, and on May 31 of the year mentioned it was dedicated with great pomp and ceremony by Archbishop Marechal.

HOTEL BURNED. Pennsylvania CI renin n Killed find Other People Severely Injured. ALTOONA, Pa., Jan. 5. The Central Hotel, situated in the heart of the business section of this city, was destroyed by fire early this morning. B. F. Houseman, of the Pennsylvania railroad fire company, was killed by a falling wall and several others were severely injured, one of them, William Wareham, also a fireman, very seriously.

JAMESON NOT SHOT

PRCSIDEXT KRIGF.n SAYS HI3 WILL HE PLMSIIED ACCORDING TO LAW. The Transvaal nuler's Confidence in Premier Rhodes Shaken Latter Anxious to Resign. CAPE TOWN, Jan. 5. It Is reported that Hon. Cecil Rhodes, Premier of Cape Colony, has resigned, but Governor Sir Hercules Robinson has declined to accept the resignation. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain telegraphed asking if It were true that Dr. Jameson was shot, adding that Mr. Rhodes had telegraphed a positive denial of the rumored gathering of a second force of the Chartered South Africa Company's troops at Buluwayo. President Kruger has replied that he had given no ordeis to shoot freebooters who had been taken prisoner, but that they would be punished according to law. He said that they had been treated with the greatest consideration by the burgfrers, despite the fact that the latter had more than once been forced to take up arms in defense of the republic. President Kruger adds: "Our confidence in Mr. Rhodes has received such a rude shock that his repudiation of the proceedings at Buluwayo ought to be received" with the greatest caution. Even now we have news that an armed force is collecting on our borders. If that be true, I trust that not the word of Mr. Rhodes, but the Influence of your government will suffice to prevent the further. Incursions of freebooters, although it was not successful in arresting the advance of Dr. Jameson." Secretary Chamberlain, in his reply today, thanked President Kruger for his assurances, and adds that he had always felt confidence in his magnanimity. He has sent an imperial officer, he sali, to Buluwayo to see that his orders were obeyed and to prevent the possibility of any further raids, and assuring President Kruger that he might rest confident that he would strictly uphold the regulations of the convention of 1SS4. DID NOT AID JAMESON. Ultlandcrs of Johannesburg- Failed to Give Promised Support. LONDON, Jan. 6. The belief has been expresed here that the expedition of Dr. Jameson into the Transvaal Involved an understanding that there was to toe an uprising of the Ultlander3 in Johannesburg. The abstention of Johannesburg from taking part in the fight at Krugersdorp, where Dr. Jameson met his disastrous reverse, is partly explained by cablegrams received to-day, dated Dec. 30, which was the day before Dr. Jameson's start, stating that President Kruger had received a deputation of the aggrieved residents and that he had made them promises that he would take off the duties on food stuffs and would support equal subsidies for the schools of all languages. He would also, he said, advocate the desired change in the, franchise. This seems to have fully satisfied the Uitlanders, and it Is asserted that the leading men of all nationalities were combining in an active endeavor to circumvent the agitation whlcfh it was understood was being promoted by certain capitalists with a view to promoting a collision with the authorities and thus to establish a cause for imperial intervention and ;to give the conspirators a chance to gobble a rich country. John Burns, member of Parliament, In addressing a labor meeting to-night said1 that he believed the Dr. Jameson raid was a premediated and put up Job, and that ho wished the Queen .would 'keep her ugly duckling of a relative outho continent In order, although ho did not believe that Emperor William represented the German people in the matter. The government, he said, should send Lord Roberts with fifteen thousand ment to sequester all rights enJoyed by the chartered company. ! All the newspapers this morning congratulate Colonial Secretary Chamberlain on his concise statement of the unflinching policy of the government In the Transvaal, which Is regarded as a reply to Emperor William's telegram to President Kruger. The Times voices the general opinion In saying: "We shall not alter our reading of our own treaties or relinquish our historical claims at tho bidding of the German Emperor, nor shall we fall to maintain them. If the necessity , is forced on us, by sacrifices similar to those upon which they were founded." The Times continues: "If the Venezuela difficulty encouraged Germany to flout England the very different reception given her Interference from that accorded our American kinsmen may serve as a warning. The point where serious consequences will follow is not far off." A special dispatch from Berlin gives an interview with Dr. W. J. Leyds, Secretary of State of the Transvaal, In which he said that he could not express his opinion on the probability of a German protectorate being established In the Transvaal as negotiations were still proceeding. A Vienna dlTatch to the Daily .Telegraph sayTS that it is reported there that Prince Hatzfeldt, the German embassador in London, has Informed Lord Salisbury that Germany refuses to recognize the British suzerainty over Transvaal, and that It is believed that Austria supports Germany In thhs view. Mr. Chamberlain has received a dispatch from Governor Sir Hercules Robinson, at Pretoria, at 4 o'clock Sunday morning, reporting that Hon. Charles Coventry (a captain in the Bechuanaland police and the brother of the Earl of Coventry) has died of his wounds. K rugger's Reply to the Kaiser. BERLIN, Jan. 5. President Kruger, of the Transvaal, has sent to Emperor William the following reply to the batter's telegram of congratulation upon his success in repelling invasion: "I testify to your Majesty my very deep and heartfelt thanks for your sincere congratulations. With God's help we hope to do everything possible to hold our dearly bought independence and the stability of our beloved republic." TvrentyKlght People Killed. DURBAN, Natal, Jan. 5. The mall train from Johannesburg has arrived here crowded with passengers. This train was overturned on Dec. 30, and several coaches were smashed, twenty-eight persons being killed and twenty-three dangerously wounded. Lnsker nnd Plllsbury Tied. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 5. Another sitting In the International chess tournament was played to-day, this being the tenth in all and the ilrst day of the fourth round.

Considerations That Would Justify a RuHMo-Amerlcnn Alliance. New York Press. Interest in a Russian alliance is necessarily academic in its character. Such an alliance could never be disclosed by either party till the hostilities upon which it was contingent began. Such hostilities are nowhere in sight. What lenas probability to the contention that there is at least a traditional understanding between the Russian Foreign Oftice ana our State Department Is the fact that it would be hignly advantageous to Russia to put us under obligation at a pincn. For the United States is the only great power on earth at whose hands the czar's government could look for sincere co-operation were it put to a choice of allies tor any aggressive venture. Each European country must and does view the knitting tegttner of the great frame and the vitalizing of the extremities of the Colossus of the North with dreaa. France has thrown nerseif shrieking on his neck in these late years, but it is a syprian wooing, the outcome of fear and self-inter-est. And ma'mselle carries a knife in her girdle ready to be loosed at need, as tier oig Muscovite protector knows. France haa no more desire that the "Kuss should ever have Constantinople" than England. Her Mediterranean intiuence, now minimized toy the British occupation of Egypt, would be nearly annihilated by a Russian occupation of Turkey. Germany and Austria tan never entertain sincere affection for the huge gray neigh- . bor, simply because he is so nuge. bhould ne once get to straining against their eastern boundaries, stretching out like the landlocked giant he is, for the German ocean or the Adriatic, what will stop him? We have learned lately hat only the late Czar's pacific, or, rather, unready, character prevented a war in 1887. We may examine here the extraordinary circumstances which must forever prevent while the Rritish empire retains Its vitality, any relations other than those of armed truce between that empire and that of the Czar. That it will retain that vitality for a long time is evidenced by the tremendous fecundity of the English race, now surpassing in the population of the three islands that of P'rance; now nearly equaling that of Germany. Three barbaric state stand between Russia and a commercial and military empire undreamed of before in the old world. These are Turkey in the west, Afghanistan in the center, Manchuria in the east. Their boundaries once erased and Russia would have port's upon three summer seasthe Mediterranean, the Arabian and the Pacific. Bv Its tireless policy, unvexed, unbroken bv domestic party strife, this empire, which was little more than a clearing In a barbaric wild in Queen Anne's day, has worked its way to these slim barriers which stand between it and limitless power. And to each of these barriers England sets its bsk and strains. With no other warrant than that of the balance of power she forb'ds that one step of progress which crowns and fertilizes all previous labors, and without which all previous labors are barren. Can Anyone wonder at the hate that the Novoe Vremya splta out now and then? " Can Iord Salisbury's bland, optimistic "room for us all in Asia" fall on Russian ears as other than the merest hypocrisy? The room for Russia Is that of sandy deserts and Ice-locked ports--Turkestan, Vladivostok. The room for Eneland Is that of teeming ports and fertile fields -Honr Kong," Hlndostan. And tfce title of both Is the Fame conquest from the Asian. It Is only natural, then, that, confronted as she Is with hostile Inter-rs t vpr" point In Europe and Asia, Russia should neve shown to us in our war time that friendly attitude the recollection of which is revived at present. For this is the one country that could go on with her to the end seeing no threat in the vastest Increase of her European and Asian possesion?. In other words, should Russia be able to do us some service of sufficient magnitude to Insure requlttal she could defy that balance of power which has worked most to her inJury, and almost solely to her injury, in Europe and Asia. No American statesman, however, c"ouId every Justify, save as a war measure, an alliance with Russia or any other European power. It would conflict with the admonition of the forewell address, of which the Monroe doctrine, as Mr. Omey has pointfd out. Is only a development. It Is the admonition against entangling foreign alliances. Rut If foreign Invasion or Interference should ever necessitate a temporary departure from that principle It is plain that a compatibility of interest, due to the en. tire diversity of development, would make of Russia our natural ally. REFRESHING FRANKNESS. A Democratic Newspaper Tells Its Party Some Plain Truths. Petersburg Index-Appeal. A fierce assault Is made all along the line of the free trade organs on the revenue measure adopted by the House of Representatives. There seems to be a willful disregard of the necessities and the logic of the situation and a reckless misstatement of facts and deduction of inferences In which patriotism is made subordinate to partlsanry. If there ever was an exhibition of scuttle-fish methods for the concealment of truth in politics those methods are now on exhibition. Some of the statements put forth in opposition to raising needed revenue from imports are simply an insult to the intelligence of a reading public, especially when they carry their own refutation on their face. For instance, we are told that more revenue Is not needed; that It Is only necessary to protect the gold reserve by retiring greenbacks, and that we have $70,000,000 in the treasury to meet ourrent expenses. The organs admit the increase of the interestbearing debt by $162,000,000 in the last two years, but insist that this was necessarv to protect the gold reserve. Conceding this to be true, what became of the greenbacks which raided the treasury of its geld? They were either returned to circulation In the payment of current Indebtedness or they are still In the treasury. Now, If we have only $70,000,0X In the treasury, obviously we have spent $92,000,000 of the $162,000,000 realized on bonds In covering the deficits In our revenue. This is as clear aa a sunbeam. Still, we are told, with amazing effrontery, that we don't need any more revenue simply because we have not yet spent all tha money we recently borrowed. It is to be hoped that the President will not heed the clamor of these Indiscreet and ill-advised partisans, but that he will rise tothe level of the great occasion before him and deal with this trying exigency In the same prompt and patriotic spirit which seems to have moved the House of Representatives in responding to his call for relief. This is emphatically a time when the people will not tolerate any playing at politics, and the Republican majority in Congress apparently understand this fact. The Wilson bill as a revenue-proiucing measure is a shameful failure, and it is idle to attempt to conceal it. It does not produce revenue sufficient for the needs of this government most uneconomlcally administered, and it Is a disastrous Jugglery to treat as governmental Inccme greenbacks that have been redeemed with treasury gold obtained from bond issues. An individual might as well treat borrowed money as an Income. HOI SE FOR SIGMA C1IIS. Chapter at Evnnston filren n $12,000 Home by the Alamnl Members. Chicago Pest. When the members of Sigma Chi fraternity of Northwestern University returned to Evanston to-day they were greeted with a mo?t agreeable surprise. They found that during the holidays Santa Ciaus had deposited no less than a twelve-thousand-dollar house and lot in the chapter stocking. The chapter at Northwestern decided some time since to build, and plans had already been drawn up for a chapter house. The alumni of the chapter, who are noted for their extreme loyalty to the fraternity, decided during the Christmas vacation they would steal a march on the boys. Accordingly, they held an alumni meeting. Among those who were present and who in their college days were members of the Evanston chapter were Frank M. E'.Ilott. a wellknown real-esfata man; Gorpe Merrick, now one of Evanston's civil-service commissioners; Edwin L. Shurrnri. Charles Wlshtrr.in and many others. They decided that If they undertook to build for the vovs It would be so long before a hoi?e wouM be repdy for occupancy that It wuld b prfrable to buy some good property which could be pui Into use at orce. The attention of the spedal committee which was appointed wss attracted to the well-known property in Evanston known as the "eld Gameld place." Th's property wn purchased.

GOLD KING STRATT0N

TIIC MIDAS OF CHIPPI.E CREEK AD HIS Hl'MllLE AXTECEDEXTS. A Vcvr Years Apco a Poor Cnrpenter, lie Can ovr Drnvc Ills Check for $4,000,000-Ills Good Traits. Colorado Springs Letter, in St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. Of the fortunes of silver showered cn the Tabors, MoiTatts, Wolcotts and others the world knows of, but none of them reveals a stranger tale than the story of Stratton, the new gold king. You could count the years on the fingers of one hand since W. S. Stratton was a "Jour" carpenter, and not a very steady or skillful one either, living in JefTersonville, Ind., a sleeply little Ohio river town opposite Louisville, Ky. Stratton Is a little, lean, five-foot-six, 125-pound man. He would attract no attention at all in any crowd. He has passed beyond the half-century mark in years, almost unknown. In Indiana he was a man who went on periodical sprees. He was almost unknown in business circles. He had never owned $100 in his life, and he had never made any effort to own as much money as $100. He had no ambition to make money; he was satis:ied If he was allowed simply to live. The only marks he left In his old home were those he made with his penknife while he sat idling his time away on dry goods boxes and whittling them. Yet today this man could buy the town of Jeffersonvllle, Ind., Including the State penitentiary and the steel bridge that swings across the turbulent rapids of the Ohio and connects his old home with the metropolis of Kentucky could buy it outright, give his check for it, payable in gold, and tho check would be honored at sight. Yet if he were to walk the streets of JelTersonville to-day, though It Is less than live years since he lived there, but few would know him. HE GOES WEST. He went West. The summer of 1803 found him in Colorado Springs, Col., where, when he could get work, he was earning $2.50 per day as a carpenter. Some time during the centuries that have formed this globe upon which we live nature has marshaled its mighty forces, those mysterious ones supposed to be imprisoned in the core of the earth, and with frightful force has bombarded the shell or outer crust that holds it prisoner. With shot and shell, grape and chain, made of copper, silver and gold, this subterranean upheaval has forced the molten metals into the cracks and crevices of their rocky prison. There they have cooled and congealed, and here man, in his unceasing, untiring pursuit, of treasure, digs and delves for these relics of nature's mighty battle, concealed in clefts of the rocks; sometimes they are found In an abundance that makes the story of their discoverer read like the tale of "Aladdin's Lamp," or of "Monte Cristo;" but far oftener the precious metals are found in lean, thin, tantalizing streaks or locked securely in ore so refractory and In particles so small that gaining possession of them is a forlorn hope that, followed, leads on to bankruptcy and despair. Hence the costliness of gold. ua the western slope of Pike's Peak, forming one of the buttresses to the giant pile of rock and snow,' whose mighty head is 13,000 feet in air. there is a group of grassy hills, themselves more than 10,000 feet above the level of the sea. Facing these on the west and standing beyond the grand gorge of the Arkansas river, the hoary head of Mount Ouray stands a noble outpost to the serrated peaks and icy canyons of the tops of the cloui-p5ercing "Sangre de Christo" (the blood of Christ) range, whose rugged tops can be plainly seen, though nearly l miles awav. Only four years ago these hills were grazing grounds, carpeted with sweet, succulent grasses and blooming with beautiful Alpine flowers, purling brooks of icy water, fresh from their glacial home above, gurgling over pebbly beds amid the enchanting scenes of Alpine meadows. Underneath the grass roots lay projectiles of gold-bearing ore, not like pellets, like those from a pistol, but huge lumps, that had they come through to the surface would have left a wound in the hill that a freight train could have fallen into. That was the kind of a golden bombardment these hills had barely resisted. The sheep herder and the cow puncher had tended their flocks and herds for years over this safety vault, which it Is a wonder the hoofs of their herds did not unlock. Rut it was left for the prospector's prying pick to uncover the golden secret. Mines that could almost be worked with a hoe, a plow or a road scraper. GOLD AT CRIPPLE CREEK. About the time silver was dying and business chaos was dawning in Colorado under the blows dealt by Cleveland's summer of l&KJ Congress the cry of gold at Cripple Creek went out over the land. W. S. Stratton heard it. Nat having the money to pay the railway to carry him to Cripple Creek, he walked, carrying all his possessions on his back, and he was not overweighted at that. Though he was without money to pay for it, he became a boarder with a lady about his own age, who was seeking a livellhoood in that vocation. Sometimes he got work; oftener he got drunk. Anyhow his board bill was several months overdue and unpaid, when, at the invitation of the hostess, he sought his meals and bed elsewhere. As does everyone in a mining camp, he laid a claim, and at odd times did some work oa his prospcet, which he called the "Independence" mine, but the slowly lengthening hole he was at odd times sinking upon it and the big name was all there was of the mine, and they, as an asset, would not have secured a square meal fcr their owner. He had only the faintest indication of ore, yet with his his pick and shovel he continued his course on the short route to China. Ho had no money, ani he thought he had no friends. One day he met Senator Wolcott In the camp. Knowing the Senator by sight, and knowing also that he was not averse to putting money Into a good prospect, he approached him and said: "Senator, my name Is Stratton. I've got a good prospect over on the hill, but I am not a strong man physically, and I have no money; but if I had $300 I believe I could develop a gocd mine on my prospect. Now, If you will go see it and will give me $300 I will deed ycu an undivided one-half Interest In it, and aree to spend the money developing the mine." "Where is your prospect," asked the Senator, as he looked down at the little man. "Over there on hill." said Stratton. "My dear man," said the Senator, "there is no gold on that hill." Then he asked Stratton what he knew of mines and mining. It did not take the little Hoosier long to tell him, for It was not much he knew. At the end the Senator said: ".My dear sir, I would not give you three cents for all you have over there." - A couple of Irishmen had struck good "pay stuff" on another hill not far from Stratton's prospect. Stratton had at times done carpenter work for them, and when the lady of the boarding house "bounced" the old man thes Irishmen took him in; told him he could eat and sleep at their cabin, and when they had work for him they would give It to him. Sa he divided his time by working a little for the Irishmen, loafing a Rood deal, and working on his prospect when he had a few dollars to pay a man t help him. for the hoi? had Income so deep he could no longer throw the stuff out with his long-handled shovel. He was compelled to put up a windlass and have a man to work It. ALMOST DISCOURAGED. Frequently he would give up and say "111 quit." Rut his friends, the Irishmen, would cheer him up ani na$. "Go on. man; go on. Yes may strike It the next shf "ul. Put in one m"re shot and see what v uncover And one day the next si J uncover something.

Ilrltlah CnpltnlUt to Take n ltnnd Im the MrnraKnan i;ntrrprle. Washington Special in Chicago Post. Agitation over the Nicaragua canal will follow close upon the consummation of th bond deal. Officials pretend to be mystified and disturbed over discoveries that tho English are plotting for the control of tho canal, and they are predicting a special message from the President to Congress on the matter. There is no mystery about tho canhl business. Readers of the Evening Post were fully advised two months ao of the efforts of J. It. Rartlett. the New York financier, to get English backing for the canal, and that his efforts were likely to succeed. Heavy .contractors and capitalists agreed to give bond to complete tho canal for a sum less than $S0.000.uoo. Armed with this guarantee. Mr. Rartlett went to lxndon to enlist capital, and remained for eight months interesting the kings of London finance and trade in the scheme, and securing the friendly co-operation of the Rritish "home office."' Tho capitalists wanted a guarantee of tha neutrality of the canal as a primary consideration. This was assured under the Clayton-Rulwer treaty. In order to reinstate that treaty fully the English formally abandoned the Mosquito strip, the chief irritating feature in the waj- cf a harmonious understanding on the subject between thj United States and Great Rritain. That done, negotiations went on swimmingly, but wer Interrupted seriously by the report of the rvtrial commission 'ate In November, and later by the President's Venezuelan mw eage, which threatened for a time to disturb the relations between th two nations. This dancer s"m to be pa.Hlnvf away, and now it would appeor that Rritish apentf are at work In Nicaragua to the end that the. canal may be still further Anglicized. Just how far they have succeeded cannot be stated, but as they ar unquestionably proceeding with the acquiescence of the American canal crowd Rart lett, Miller, Hitchcock, et al It would nol he violently straining probabilities to suggest that nerotiatlTs r-f the very highest importance are under way. Mr. Eartlctt a?ured his London friend that the attitude cf the administration at Washington to the proposed construction of the canal with English money under American direction was entirely friendly. Confirmation of that view must have been obtained, for the question was dlscusred ia all its International phases In the Londm press for several months, and running? through the entire discussion was the idea, that the Cleveland administration was eptlrely willing to enter Into a further agreement If necessary, guaranteeing the absolute neutrality of the waterway. If the President contemplates a special messase to Congress on the subject, as claimed, it would be only natural to assume that it will be on the lines indlcated-l viz.. friendly to the theory of co-operation in the construction of the canal. Mr. Rartlett, who for more than a year has been the "whole thins" In the Nicaraguan canal project, Is reccgnized by the, heavy-weight financiers cf New York as something of a genius as an organizer, although he Is not a familiar figure to the multitudes. He reorganized the Iead Trut. the Linseed Oil Trust, and several other h!r properties that required heroic financial trcatmi-nt on broad lines. The canal people went to Mm last fall s a very sick man would call on a h'gh-prlcd niciallst and surrendered everything visible assets, future proPcts and allInto his care. It was only on the condition that he should be absolutely untrammeled that he wou'd have anvthing to do with the canal, and the men who had JS.CO.onO or JS.i"0,oi"0 tied up In the enterprise aKreed to his terms. Mr. Rartlett thereupon wound up his other business and has since devoted his entlro time and energy to the canal project. This is the first time the true inwardness of the canal situation, down to a recent period, has bee-n made public. Whatever may occur in the near future with re-a-ird to the Nicarauga canal will have u direct relation to the facts s abov printed. When ordering Cocoa and Chocolates hm sure and ask for Huyler's.
