Our New York dispatches for several
DAYS past have indicated II changed and
changing feeling in monetary and COM
mCrcial circles. The Improvement Is sup
poscd 10 bc due to sense Of belief felt by
business men over the prospect that the
Funding Bill in Congress will either be
entirely defeated or else SO materially mod
itictl as to nelltralize its depressing inau-
enccs.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
has the following remarks upon the con-
trlst 81 suddenly presented in the flnan-
cial tone there: .
A protractCd period of business stag na.
ton has suddenly been followed by u re-
viyal of encouraging activity. Merchants
who were beginning u abandon all
hone ordoing anything before Autumn arc
taking courage. Funds long locked up
and idle are coming forth. Government
securities have advanced from three TO five
per cent. Various railroad and other en-
tcrpriscs, which have been at stand still
for IL month, ire beginning to 60 forward.
The Stock Exchange, which affords

merci1l condition is once more AMI

havo worn lugubriOus cOuntcnance9, l0r
months, smile again. Norris II difficultto
account for this sudden revival, this rapid
regeneration in business during the past
few tInvs. They are wholly due toa free

slortsighted SOIOns with short.sighted
resolutions and bills aiming to force tinan'
cial matters-have inflicted most dam
aging blows upon the commercial inter
csts Of the country. Now, however, with

The Richmond slaughter

The terrible calamity ut Richmond on

nOuncci, becomes more appalling as the
number of It's victims is fully NscGrtained.
1t isnow. stated thAt-instead Ortwenly, or
even forty, persons being killed outright
by tho crash Of tho falling floors and walls

afterwards from their injuries, there were

TINT instcal of two hundred other persons

now known that double Tint number, or
some four hundred, were thus maImcd
and bruised by the hcart-rcnding casualty.

providence that has called one city topass

ofthe Richmond Theatre in 1911, where

As yet little or nothing has been sAid in

probably not be given until it is definitely
asccrtained who is to be who on tho gen

But we apprehcnd that the idca on the
part Of those thus aspiring to the Gov
crnorship Is 10 avail themselves Of It's
supposed prestige MS a stepping stone TO

Tho New York Herald, Of Wednesday,
comes 10 us containing some interesting
advicCs from Rome not hitherto made
public through any source whatever, &c
iar ~ VIC have seen. 1t gives us the text
of the Protest against tho adoption of the
inhllibility of tho Pope as dogma Of
lailh in tho church. THIS protest Is head
cd by Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati
and Is also signed by the Archbishops o.
New York md 81. Louis, and some q
other prelatcs, including Bishop Whclan
of this city, whose name stands tlilh or
the list. The language of the Protest il
as follows:
Mosr Holy FATHER :-IIumbly pros
tratc ut the feet Of your Holiness, we
most earnestly supplicate that the question
on tho definition OF tho inIAllibility o. the
Sovereign Pontiit as n dogma OF tAitt
may not he proposed to the Vatican CO'lh'
Gil. ,,
Among other reasons Of this s,lpplica'
tion we beg to atducC only three, which
appear to 6o suttlCient:-..
ETrst-BeCause the discussion OF this
question will evidently show . want o
union, and especially unNnimity among
the bishops, >,
Scond-Bccause on account Of the CIR
cumStanCes In which wO arc placed III
countries where hCrCsicS not only exist
with impunity, but arc dominant, tlis def
milton, instead Of attracting, would alien
ate those whom we seek by all Christian
means TO lead to the true fold Ot Christ.
IhIrt-BCCausc We anticipate endless
questions will arise which may interfere
with and prevent the work Of our ministry
and cause the fruits Of this council 10 bt
lost to those who arc not members Of the
holy Catholic Church. Having laid bare
our hearts and sincere intentions We i'm.
plOrG Almighty God to avert all evil from
IhC Church, aud that he mNy illumC and
direct you with His holy spirit.
The Herald says that tho fact that the
above protest Is first signed by Archbishop
Purcell, "gives its PRONUNCIATION, ir posi-.
BILE, additional importance" 1t refers to
