CARLISLE'S BOOM.

Tlie Kentucky Delegation Tali. Up fha Speaker for the Presidency. A Superintendent of Ordnance Likelj to be Ktmoved-Th Feasibility of a Railroad to Alaska The Week in Congress Other News. Washinhtox, Jnne 20. The New York "World frints the following to-day: "There i as a dinner given to-day by the Kentucky delegation of the Senate and House at the Congressional Hotei at which Speaker Carl lie presided. The occasion was one which t ordered upon Jacksonion principles, and vas marked by the absence of numerous kinds of wine. The object of the feast was to talk oyer Kentucky politics, but before lalX the courses had been served it drifted iito general expressions for Speaker Carlisle Jjr the Presidency. The question was first suggested by Senator Beck, who is himself liOt eligible to the Presidency on account of Ida foreign birth. The silvery Laired and tocgued Breckenridge poke for the Blue Grass District, followed by ex-Governor McCreary. pledging the hemp and coal belt. Jloberson, of the Elizabethtown District fruaranteed the entire sourthern Dart of the J 5 tat. Mr. Robertson being the Secretary of the National Congressional Committee, some months ago he began on Mr. Carlisle's campaign, and has the machine well at work in Tarious parts of the State. Senator Blackburn was an attentive listener, butcordialJy Indorsed all that was said. Though it has teen known for more than a year that Mr, Carlisle's friends would at the proper time start the Presidential boom, to-day's dinner was the first evidence of the movement of the organization. A ROAD TO ALASKA. The Report on Its Feasibility and the Nature of the Country, Wa.hin.to, June 20. The Secretary of the Interior has just sent to Senator Sherraan, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Aßairs, a letter transmitting a very complete report made by Major Fowell, superintendent of the geological survey authorized by the Senate bill introduced some tirae since to facilitate the settlement and develop the resources of the Territory of Alaska and to open an overland commercial route between the United States, Asiatic Hussia and Japan. This report is very full aad is accompanied by two large maps. Major Fowell says that a railroad is feasible Ter this yast eitent of country, and that the difficulties to be overcome are not greater than have already been mastered in constructing the transcontinental roads already in operation, lie says the distance from Northern Montana to Mehrings Strait ia 2,00 miles. This distance, for convenience, he divides into three parts, as follows: First, from some point on the Northern Pacific Railroad in Montana to the head waters of the Peace River; second, from the aead waters of the Feace River to the head waters of the Yukon ; third, from tue head waters of the Yukon to some point on the Behrings ea. The report then goes on to give a pretty general discussion of the region over which the proposed route would pass, and tells of the geological formation and general prospectus cf the country for settlement and business. In a general way the recommendation is that the proposed railroad shall follow the beds of streams instead of the plains, where it would be necessary to span many gullies. Advantage is taken of the report made by the explorers, who were sent by tLe Western Union Telegraph Company in ISGj to map out a route for that company to run its lines. HOLM AN IN HIS PLACE. He Saved Iiis Record and Position by a Cloe Shave. Special to the Sentinel. Washixmo, June 17. The calling up of the Tariff bill this morning was one of the important events of the season. Every member tried to be present. It was generally understood among the members of the House that Mr. Morrison had consented to defer until 1:130 p. m. his motion to take up the Tariff bill in order to afford Mr. Holmau an opportunity to vote. Mr. Ilolman left Indiana yesterday evening ana reached his seat on the floor just as his name was called, and Mr. Ilolman voted aye amid the applause of members on both sides of the House. Mr. Ilolman had telegraphed from Cumberland, lid., to Mr. Morrison that the train was on time there and would in all probability reach Washington on schedule. It was done, and so quick as possible he hurried from the depot to the Capitol. He was not a minute late. For nearly ten minutes after he voted business was suspended while congratulations were being extended, the result of Lis renomination. Mr. Ilolman had a pride in being present. He has not missed a single roll-call this session, and upon an important question like the tariff he was ever anxious to be recorded. HUNG UP NOMINATIONS. Indiana Cases ot Acted Upon by the Sen. ate What Will be Done With Them. Epecial to the 8entlneh Washisgto, Juae 18. It looks now as if the nominations of John E. Lamb to bs United" States District Attorny and Ed Hawkins to be United States Marshal for Indiana will be hung up until Congress adjourns. The Senate Judiciary Committee shows so disposition to give any of the contested cases consideration. It is said here that just as soon as Lamb is nominated for Cozrgres In the Eighth District it is Jils intention to resign the District Attorneyship. If Hawkins is not confirmed before adjournment the President will re-ap point him. The Senate has had several executive sessions since the nomination of

Tom Uanlon, to be Collector of Internal Kt venue, was reported adversely, and if the nomination has been acted upon, the injunction of eecrecy has not been removed. It is probable, however, that no action has been had for the reason that Senator Voorheea has been absent for ten days, and has been laid over through courtesy to him. BUSINESS ADVANCED. t The Defeat of the Tariff Rill Makes an Karly Adjournment Possible. Fpecial to the Sentinel. Washington, June 18. The vote on the Tariff bill was generally regarded as decisive. It i3 not believed that Mr. Morrison wi'l persist in askiDg lor another Tote next Tuesday. If he does, the result will not be any different. This vote yesterday materially shortens the session. There is no fuestion now but what CoDgress can easily adjourn by the 10th of July, and possibly by the 1st It is not probable that any special order outside cf the Appropriation bills will be taken up before the adjournment. There

will be an attempt made to get up the Interstate Commerce bill, but that would simply mean a long debate, and the session is now too far advanced for anything of that kind. Pen Lefevre Sajs lie is Not a Candidate for Ke-Election. Special to the Sentinel. AVashixgtox, June 21. Congressman Lefevie, of Ohio, has declared tnat he will not be a candidate for re-nomination to Congress. Some months ago General Lefevre was tendered the second Vice Presidency of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, with headquarters in New York city, and it is not unlikely that, at the expiration of his term in Congress, he will connect himself with this corporation. The salary attached to the office is $10.000 a year, and the offer is madelby General Samuel Thomas, President of the road, and Calvin P. Brice, one of the sjndicats controlling the property, both of whom are warm personal friends of General Lefevre. Personal and Social. Washington, June 20. Master Charles Francis Voorhees, the son of the Senator, gave a very enjoyable child party at the Tortland, yesterday, on the occasion of his fifth birthday. Many little folks were in attendance andjat the table, which was handsomely decorated with rare exotics, including bouquets. There was also found for each guest a handsome Don bon box. The young people left well pleased, and with a wish that Master Charles should have many happy returns. Ei-Senator McDonald, who has been here for a week, returns home this week, and when he comes back will bring Mrs. McDonald with him. They will spend the most of July at Deer Park, and in August will go to Saratoga to remain two or three weeks. Among the late arrivals are Hon. John Roestken and two sons, and Colonel II. C. Bennett, of Evansville. MRS. CLEVELAND. The Urowtli of an Knthusiaatic Public Sen timent in Her Favor. Washington, June 21. Mrs. Cleveland has created a genuine sensation. The more peo ple to to see her, and the more they talk abtat her, the more enthusiastic public sentimt nt is in her favor. Wherever one goe now the talk is about her beauty, her stately bearirg.her graceful manners, her admirable sell-possession, and her charming conversation. She is becoming an element ia politics, 8cd the opinion is freely expressed that she has already materially improved her huiLaLds chances of renomination. The next social season is looked forward to with the anticipation that it will be gay and entertaining beyond any of its predecessors in recent years. Mrs. Cleveland has rivals in the wives cf other gentlemen who want to be President, and the social side of the political world promises to be interesting and exciting. The other wives will have to do their very prettiest in competition with a woman who seems to possess all the powers to please the best of them, the additional and very great advantages of youth, beauty, the interest that naturally centers in a bride, and the possession of the White House. Indiana Patents. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, June 13. ratenta were issued to Indiana inventors to-diy as follows: Charles G. Conn, Elkhart (three), cornet, wind instrument, truck; John A. Cro&sman and N. C. Buch, assignors to E. C. Atkins & Co., Indianapolis, device for swaging saw teeth; Noah Harris, assignor of three-fourths to E. M. Fuller, 0. G. Ritterakamp and R, C.

Tuck er, New York, trace supporter; Homer C. and D. Miller, bouth Bend, manufacturing hr draulic cement; William M. Perkin, Lafon taine, gram weighing and registering scale; Elwood C. Phillips, Richmond, assignor to A. Warren, r-t. Louis, and J. W. March, On cinnati, fence machine. Amending the Pre-Knaptioa Law. Washington, Jnne 21. The Senate Com mittee on Public Lands this morning dis cussed and amended Senator Mitchell's pro posed amendment to repeal the pre-emption and timber culture laws. It bow provides 'that nothing herein shall be construed as depriving the holders of military bounty land warrants or other land warrants or other land scrip, at any time heretofore issued under or in pursuance of the pro visions of any law of the United States of their right to locate such warrants or scrip on the public lands of the United States m the same manner as if this act had not been passed." In this form the committee ccept the amendment. Judge Davis Fatally 111. Bloomingtow, 111., June 21. A consultation of Chicago and Bloomington physicians to-day pronounced Judge Davis beyond hope of recovery. When Mr. Davis was attacked by the carbuncle on the shoulder about May 1, he was already reduced by diabetis. No sooner did the carbuncle improve, two weeks ago, than malignant erysipelas set in so that he is now suffering from a complication of disorders. He is verr weak, and can not read the newspapers. Visitors axe so longer alowed to see him,

A NEW TARIFF BILL.

Mr. Randall Has Prepared One Which Ha Thinks Just Right, And Expects to Introduce It In tha Hons Soon A Conference of the Morrison Faction Falls to Accomplish Anything. Epecial to the Sentinel. Washington, Juhc 21. Mr. Randall will, perhaps, to-morrow introduce a Tariff bill in the House, which, he claims, will meet the wishes of the people and be in harmony with the principles of the Democratic party as enunciated in the last National platform. The bill proposes abolition of the tax on tobacco and on all alcohols to be used for purposes of art. He claims for the bill a reduction of income tax of several millions of dollars, and believes it will pa3s the House. He does not propose to have the bill sent to the Ways and Means Committee, but hopes to have it considered at once. Just how he proposes to proceed to get the bill before the House he refuses to divulge, but it is be lieved there is an understanding with Mr. Morrison which will allow of its introduction. Some of the Protectionist Democrats in the House are having trouble with their con stituents because of their voting against a Democratic measure and with the Republi can high tariff men. They followed Mr. Randall because he assured them that he was for tarilT reform, as he is always ready to assure anyone, but he was not for the Morrison kind of reform, and they now want him to bring forward a bill that they can vote for, so that they can show their constituents that they are ready to vote for the right kind of tariff reform. These gentlemen think they have a pledge from Mr. Randall which he wilj promptly carry out. The Morrison Faction Fails to Agree. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, June 21. The conference tonigtt of the Morrison faction to canvass the situation of the tariff bill, and the possibility and the advisability of calling it up to-morrow, as promised by Mr. Morrison on last Thursday, resulted in a failure to come to any kind of an agreement. Mr. Bragg was made chairman of the meeting. Mr. Morrison offered a resolution calling for an expression of endorsement for the future calling up of the bill as oftyi as he thought necessary until it was either considered, after much discussion, which was anything but harmonious. The resolution was withdrawn, leaving the conference without having done anything other than the appointment of a committee of one from each State which had voted for the consideration of the bill. This committee, which is yet to be named, will report what is, in their opinion, the wisest course to pursue. "CHEESE IT." Information Concerning the Industry in Switzerland. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, June 21. Boyd Winchester, Consul General of the United States to Switzerland, has just completed some extensive researches in regard to the cheese industry of that country. He has seen cheese, he says, that are more than 200 years old. One of the customs that formerly prevailed in the cheese regions of the country was for the friends of a bride and bridegroom to join in the presentation on their wedding day of an elaborate cheese. This cheese was used as a family register and heirloom, on which the births, marriages and deaths are recorded. Mr. Winchester says that he has seen some of these old cheeses that date back to lGt'A). In many parts of Switzerland cheese forms the principal diet of the people. New cheese often causes sickness. When this is the case the patient is treated in the homeopathic fashion, with old cheese, which generally effects a cure. Dairymen in Switzerland believe that it is a good thing to use a cow for draught purposes, especially in the morning, and they nearly all do this, scarcely ever employing bullooks in this Poor Prospect for Oleomargarine. Special to the Sentinel. Wafhingtok, June 21. In all probability the Senate Committee on Agricultare will make a favorable report on the Oleomargarine bill this week. The Republican Caucus Committee will then be called upon to make the bill part of the order of business. Senator Edmunds, the Republican leader, has expressed himBelf as in favor of the bill, but his sincerity is doubted. Senator Beck, the Democratic leader, is openly opposed to the bill. It is also Delieved there ia a majority of the Senate opposed to it Under the circumstances it will be difficult to obtain consideration for it. The order of business is already long, and with the appropriation bills coming in, a great many important measures are likely to be crowded out. There are strong lobbies working for and against the Oleomargarine bill. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Mr. Cleveland Reviews the Question of Appropriations for Small Cities. Washington, June 21. In Lis veto of the Senate bill for a public building at Sioux City, the Fresident says: The report of the Committee of the Ilouse of Representatives to whom this bill was referred tati tfcat by the census of laflO the population of Sioux City was nearly 8.000, and that by another enumeration since made, the population would seem to exceed 23,000. It is further stated In the report that for the accommodation of tali population the city contains 3"J3 brick and frame buildings. It seems to me that in the consideration of the merits of this bill the necessity of the (Government should control the ouestion. and that it should be decided as a bunt new proposition depending upoa the needs of a Government building at the point proposed in order to do the Uovernmectwork. This greatly reduces the value of statistics showing population, extent of business, prospective growth and matters of that kind, which, thong exceedingly interesting, do not always demonttrate the necessity of the expenditnre of a large sum of money for a public building. There are actually no Federal officers thewe for whom the Government In any view should proVide accommcOaUoa except Ue j'ogimMted TJie

postoflice is now located in a building rented at the rate of 12,200 per annum. By the lact report of the Supervising Architect it appears that on tVtober 1. l.vtf, there were eightf new public building In coun-e of consi rnction, and that the amount expended therein during the preceding year was nearly f"J,5OU,000, while large appropriations were askea to be expended on these buildiDgs during the current year. In my jndgment the number of public buildings should not at this time be increased unless a greater public necessity exists than lit apparent iu this case. In disapproving the bill to provide for a public building at Zanesville, O., the President says: No federal courts are held at Zanesville and there are no public officers located there wno should be provided for at the public expense except the Postmaster. So far as I am informed the patrons of the 1'oatofTloe are fairly well accommodated Jn a building rented by the Governmental a rate of iMH) per annum and though the Posttnasttr naturally certifies that he and his fourteen employes require much more spacious appartmentsl have no doubt they can oe Induced to continue to serve the Government la its present quarters. The public buildings now In protr8 of construction numbering eighty, involving a constant supervision for all the buildings projects which the Government ougnt to have on hand at one time, unless a very palpable u ctfs ty exists for an Increase iu th number. The multiplication of these structures Involves not only the appropriation made for their completion, but great expense in their care and preservation thereafter. While

a fine government building is a desirable orna ment to any town or city, ana wane me VY""5 of an appropriation therefor Is often cönsiaefJu as an Illustration of zeal and activity in the interest of a constituency, I am of the opinion that the expenditure of public money for such a purpose should depend upon the necessity of such a public building for public uses. Iu tfce case under consideration. I hare no doubt the Government can be well accommodated for some time to come in all its business relations with the people of Zanesville tv renting quarters, at less expense than the annual cost of maintaining the proposed building alter its completion." PENSION LEGISLATION. The President Explains Why He Vetoes Certain Private Pcntlon Hills. Washington, June 21. In vetoing a pension bill to-day the President says : I am so thoroughly tired of disapproving gifts of public money to individuals who, in my view, have no right or claim to the same, notwithstanding apparent Congressional sanction, that I interpose with a feeling of relief in a ca-e where I find it necessary to determine the merits of the application, in speaking of the promiscuous and illadvised grants of pensious which have lately been presented to me for approval, 1 have spoien of their apparent Congressional sanction, in recognition ot the fact that a large proportion of these bills hare never been submitted to a majority of either branch of Congress, but are the result of nominal sessions held for the express purpose ot their consideration and attended by a small minority of the members of the respective Houses ef the legislative branch of Government. Thus in considering these bills I have not felt that I was aided by the deliberate judgment of the Oongres. and when I have deemed it my duty to disapprove many of the billi presented, I have hardly regarded my action as a dissent from the conclusions of the people's representatives. I have not been insensible to the suggestion which should Influence every citizen, either in private station or official place, 1 3 exhibit not only a just but generous appreciation of the services of our country's defenders. In reviewing the pension legislation presented to me, many bills have been approved upon the theory that every doubt should be resolved in favor of the proposed beneficary. I have not, however, been able to entirely divest myself of the idea that the public money appropriated for pensions is the soldiers' fund, which should be devoted to the indemnification of iho who. in the defense ot the Union and in the Nation's service, have worthily deserved. and who in the day of their dependence, resulting irom such sunering are entitled to the benelac tions of their Government. This re-election lends to the bestowal of pensions a kind ot sameness which invites the adoption of such principles and regulations as will exclude perversion, as well as insure a liberal and generous application ot grate ful and benevolent designs, iieeaieüsnes ana a disregsrd of the principle which underlies the granting of pensions is unfair to the wounded or crippled soldier, who is honored in the just recog nition oi his Government, (such a man snouM never find himself side by side on the pension roll with those wno have been tempted to attribute their natural ills, to which humanity is heir, to service in the army. Kvery relaxation of princi ple in the granting of pensions invites applications without merit and encourages those who for gain urces honestmen to become dishonest. Thus is the demoralizing lesson taught the people that acainst tne puDiic ireasury txio most questionable expedients are allowable. WASHINGTON MISCELLANY. Tension Measures to be Combined With a Clause for an Income Tax. Wabixgton, June 21. The House Com mittee on Invalid Tensions to-day agreed to amalgamate the substitute for the Blair bill, pensioning disabled soldiers, with the bill to increase the rate of pensions of soldiers who have lost a leg or arm, and attach to the combined bills a clause imposing an income tax to meet the expenditure involved. The clause is patternad after the Income Tax bill introduced in the Forty-seventh Congress by General Ewing. Statistics collected at the time tle bill was introduced indicated that a revenue of $03,000,000 per annum could be raised in this way. If the bill can be passed to-day under a suspension, it Is expected bv the committee that it will prepare the way for favorable action on the bill to extend the date within which claims for arrears of pension be filed, as the necessary revenue to pay the claim will be available. Confirmations. Washigto5, June 21. The Senate confirmed the following appointees to-day : Eeceiversof Public Moneys E. W. Miller, Huron, Dak.; A. A. Carnahan, Concordia, Kas. ; Abraham Howe, Miles City, Mont B. T. Lebetter, Surveyor General of Louisiana; J. C. Straughan. Surveyor of Idaho; G. W.

Mr. Henley, of California, to-day introduced the following resolution in the House : "Whereas. It appears from the published reports of the I'nion I'acinc Railroad Company that the said corporation w ithout the consent of Congress, did issue in 18&? about t',000,000 of collateral trust bonds, also t',O00,00O of 6 per cent, collateral trust bonds, did pay dividends in 1nS3 and ltwvl notwithstanding the existence of a gross Hosting debt of f 13,C00,0U0, and in and l.vtf did guarantee interest on 14.9;u,C00 Oregon Short Line bonds in defiance of the provisions of the law of 1873, section 4 of volume 17, statutes at large; therefore be It Kesolved, By the House of Representatives that the Attorney Genesal be and is hereby directed to prosecute all officers of said corporation civilly and criminally, against whom there is sufficient evidence to warrant judgment or conviction."

BURNED TO DEATH.

Destruction of the Old New England Institute Fair Building. Eight Dead Bodies Ilemoved From the Ruins Charred Beyond Recognition Others Relieved to Have Perished. Boston, JuUe 21. A terrific fire, accompanied by loss of life, this afternoon destroyed the New Kngland Institute Fair building on Huntington avenue. The buildiDg was built by the New England Manufacturers and Merchants Institute for exhibition purposes at a cost, of nearly $500,00ol Last winter it was purchased by the Metropolitan Street Railroad Company for $3(0,000 and has since been used as a place for storing and repairing cars. So quickly did-the flames spread that before the first engine had arrived the immense roof had fallen and the building was a roaring mass of flames. The workmen soujht to save their to ls, and many were badly burned before they could get out of the building, while others were unable to escape. In the building were about seventy box cars. The barnlike structure, which covered an area of rive acres with a floor snaee of nearly eight acres was so full of flame that the walls were blown out. As soon as it was learned that lives had been lost in the buildiDg, all streams were turned to the rear of the structure, and the firemen bravely forced their way into the blazing ruins to secure the bodies. The flames refused to surrender until they had consumed everything combustible withiu the building, and the work of rescue was attended with great danger. The charred remains of two men were brought out, and are thought to be those of Wm. Taylor and a man named Frost, both carpenters. It is believed that other bodies are buried in the debris, as several workmen are missing. All is confusion, and no correct statement of the loss of life can be made. The flames are still burning in the interior of the building, of which nothing is left standing except the lower portion of the walls. The spread of the flames when they burst forth was something almost incredibe. Workmen on the opposite side of the building from the point where the fire originated had almost as great difficulty in making their scape as did those nearer the firey burst of flame. It was at the east end of the building in the carpenter-shop that a most heart-rending incident occurred. A man, whose name is as yet unknown, was driven out of a window of the second story by the flames. He was about to leap, and had pnt one leg over the window sill, when the roof fell in and pinned him fast to the spot where he was. No ladder company had arrived and the crowd were powerless to render assistance, and the man underwent agonies of torture before the eyes of his friends below. Two of his fellow workmen, John McNulty and J. F. Fallen, were terribly burned while trying to scale the wall to reach their dying comrade. His sufferings were mercifully short. The awful furnace of Harnes enwrapped about him with fire and smoke, hiding him d urine his last moments from the gaze of the spectators. Not long afterward the wall itself gave way and nothing more was seen. Four of the bodies removed were so badly charred and disfigured that indentification is impossible. The names of the others are believed to be as follows: William Easter. P. Oliver Frost, aged siity-seven years, married. Pat Lyons, aged thirty years. Alei. Campbell, aed seventy years, married. The body of the negro known to htve been burned has not been recovered. This makes nine fatalities known to have be;n caused by the lire. The foreman of the re pair shop says that all of the eiehty-eight crkruen in that department are accounted for. The folio wing persons were seriously burned : Joseph Whidden, car builder, seriously burned about the face and shoulders; taken to the hospital. Chester L. Hazel tine, badly burned about the face, hands, arms and throat K. L. Farren, burned about the hands and arms. The last two were employed in the car shop. Several others had their hair singed. but escaped serious injury. The total loss is now estimated at J0UU0U, divided as nearly as can be ascertained as follows: Building and fixtures, f 180,000; cars, S 0,000; machin y, tools, etc., $50,000. The insurance ag gregates fllO.OOO, as follows: Building, $25, 000; machinery, T25.000; cars, $b0,000. The fire caught in the front right corner on Huntington avenue, directly under the paint shop, and when the names reached the shop the oil and paint stored therein spread over an immense space and proved a speedy carrier of the names. There were many men inside when the fire broke out, and all rushed for the rear windows. Most of them were helped out, but while a rush was being made to one of the windows at which a scorched and blistered face was seen, the person who had been looking out fell back ' i . 1 iLl A 1 1 1 into me seeming mais ana was past an neip. A colored man, name unknown, went back into the burning building to save some property, and was not seen to come out again. Chester L. Hazeltine and E. Farren had plenty of opportunity to escape, but tried to pull out some cars and were badly burned. While the thousands of spectators were viewing from the neighboring roofs the magnificent spectacle, a horrible tragedy was being enacted within, all out of sight and unknown to the throng. After the flames had been sufficiently extinguished, search was begun among the charred ruins for possible victims and up to 0 p. m. eight dead bodies had been removed, most ef them burned beyond recognition. It is believed that there are at least four more bodies in the ruins. RECEIVED THE ZOCHETTA. The Papal Embassy from Rome to Cardinal Gibbons Arrives. Ealumoee, June 21. This afternoon the Fapal embassy bearing the official notification of the elevation to the Cardinalate of Archbishop Gibbons, arrived. All were driven to the Episcopal Talace except Count Muccioli, who repaired to a hotel, where he exchanged his civilian dress for the brilliant uniform of the Noble Guards. Then, preceded by a courier, he proceeded to the Cardinars residence, where he was received by the Archbishop surrounded by many clergymen and prominent laymen. The Count then made known his mission and presented official letters from Rome, notifving the Archbishop of his election, the rochetta or skullcap, signifying the physical force of the church, was then presented, and His Eminece placed it upon his head. He returned the Count's greeting, and welcomed him to this country, . where he aasujed bin he would find, many

friends who venerate the holy father at Rome. Then Monsignor Stranciro. bearer of

the beretta, which will be presented on the 30th inst., was introduced to the new Cardinal, and a banquet followed. Oow They Stand on the Secret Society Business. Ottawa, June 21. The decree of the Coun cil of the Roman Catholic Church recently held at Quebec having been called to Rome, and having met with the approval of the Pope. Cardinal Taschereau has issued a pastoral letter containing them, which will be read shortly in the churches of the diocese, and the following quotation is from the letter. "The cosmopolitan character of secret so cieties, and of that of the Knights of Labor in particular, necessarily exposes many of their members to execute an order of a council residing in a foreign country, which council at a given time may not only have interests at variance with those of the Government to which Its members owe allegiance, but may even be at war with the Government. "For these and other reasons the church could not tolerate the organization, or approve of the means resorted to in order to obtain the desired end. The council also deems it prudent and in the interests of the church and Christianity to consider the secret aims of the promoters of Free Masonry, and to warn the adherents of the Catholic Church against joining any such organization." A SINGULAR ESCAPE. Xsterious Disappearance of a Convict From a Hospital Bed. San Antonio, Tex., June 20. Adriano Deolles is the name of a Mexican who was condemned to be hung for murder committed at Cotulla, in LaSalle County. His sentence was afterward commuted to a term of imprisonment for life, and he was taken in charge by McCullocb, the penitentiary contractor, to be carried to Huntsville. The trip was broken in this city, and Deolles, with others, was placed in the county jail for a night prior to continuing the journey the next day. During his stay here Adriano made a determined effort to end his exist ence, and very nearly succeeded. He dashe 1 his head against the ceiling of hi? cell with such force as to cause a fracture. When found the man was unconscious, and it was thought beyond recovery. The contractor had him conveyed to the Santa Rosa Hospital, where he has been lying in a critical condition for the past month. A slight improvement has been observable the last few days, and McCulloch wanted to carry him to Huntsville, but the attending phvtician objected to his removal. Friday night he was seen in bed up to 12:30, and with the fetters, which were placed on him intact. Saturday morning early, to the surprise of the hospital attendants, his bed was found vacant, and no trace, except a broken chain, could be seen of the murderer.

Dolliver, a tailor, of this city, committed suicide in Sunday school at Crescent Beach, yesterday. Dolliver was twenty-one years old.

There is only one politician in the country. He seems to know all about it, and is running things to suit himself." "NN ith this peroration, the General resumed pu fling at his pipe.

Mr. Gladstone Continues to Monopolize Public Interest in England. The London Times Finds Another Mar' Nest The Bavarians Murmur About Ludwig's Burial Place Spain Strengthening f ler Navy Other Foreign News. Edinburgh, June 21. Mr. Gladstone addressed another large and enthusiastic meeting here to-day. In the course of his speech he said it was irksome to always be compelled to refer to Ireland, but that this was due to the Tories, who blocked the way so that the Government could not get rid of the question and proceed to the other busines3 of the Empire. He relied, he added, upon the people's energy to clear the line now and allow the train of progress to go on to its destination. The Premier reiterated his demand upon the Marquis of Salisbury and the Earl of Carnarvon to answer the question he asked of them last Friday night, and said he thought that Mr. Goschen, formerly a Liberal Minister, would not make a good Tory candidate. Continaing, Mr. Gladstone said that he flid not complain of the secession of Lord llartingtoa and Mr. Bright. They were a small fraction of the Liberal party. They had abandoned its traditions. As for speeches and the actions of Fitz-William and Cavendish showed their descendants were trying to resist that policy, which, if it had been carried out, would have saved years of trouble. The Land Purchase bill was applicable to the time when he introduced it in the House of Commons, but he had failed to receive the support of Lord Hartington and others. He did not think England and Scotland received it so favorably as they received the Home Eule bill. The Cabinet were now free to reapproach the whole subject. If they continued in ollice, the Cabinet would carry out the heme rule programme with due regard to their obligations. They desired to secure local self-government for Ireland, with perfect security to the Imperial union. He bad never, he declared, concealed his ideas from the country when a gTeat crisis had come. People had had the audacity to say that he had endeavored to force this question forward. Last autumn, Le said, he foresaw an Irish demand which would sweep into the shade all other legislation. He foreshadowed, but did not foresee the end. The rejection of the Home Itule bill would not settle the question and bring peace, but there would be the same miserable round of contention. He asked them to listen to a prajer reduced to the limits of reason and safety. . GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. The London Times "Gets Onto" a Secret , Fenian Circular. London, June 21. The Times publishes what it says is a copy of the private special circular recently sent by the President of the Supreme Council to the different "centers" of the Irib. Republican Brotherhood throughout the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The document fills a column of the Times in fine print The gist of it lies in the claim that to the effort of the Fenians is Ireland indebted for the pres?nt ndvantageous position occupied by the Irish cause, and in the statement that while Mr. Gladstone's scheme is inadequate, because Ireland must hsve nothing short of independence, it in the duty of Irishmen to support the Premier in every way in order to enable him to complete the step he wishes to take. The Times says the document is marked "to be destroyed when read." The Bavarians Murmuring. Mcxich, June 21. Murmurs are heard on all sides regarding the treatment of the late King.

The official reason given for this course is that the royal vault is already over filled, but the humble classes believe that it is because the King committed suicide. Spain Strengthening Her Navy.
