MOB RULE.
The Quebec City Council M0bbed.
IN, Y, World.1

QUEBEC, April 2s.-At meeting Of the
City Council last night a series of reso-
lutions adopted at q public meeting on
the previous evening were presented,
condemning the different committees OF
the corporation for extravaganza, and
also for determination to reduce the
police force. The passages Of the City
Hall and the galleries were packed with
people, who commenced a disturbance.
The police became pewerles5 to restrain
the mob, and the military were called
out. but remained passive. The mob
forced it's way into the Council Cham
Der, which compelled the Mayor to adj
journ the meeting hastily. The rioters
then took complete possession, upset
ting stoves and chairs, and doing all the
mischief in their power. A double
alarm of fire was sounded, and the fire
apparatus was run out to divert the at
tention of the mob, but without effect.
Stone throwing was then begun, and
after demolishing the windows the mob
finally dispersed.

THE CARDINALS.
The Pope OUTLYING All But Four of the
Cardinals who Elected Him.

Gar0lna1s VINO Eleeteu Hih.
The Cardinals this year are dying in
pairs, though the Roman proverb as
serts that they depart as Mississippi
steamers blow up-by threes. The
death OF Cardinal Trevisanato follow
ing closely on that of Cardinal Vanni-
celli- Casoni makes q second vacancy in
the Sacred College whose numbers the
creation OF eleven new Cardinals, q lit
tie over month ago, brought up to 68.
There were 90 Cardinals in 1860, but 50
in 1864, and only 81 in the fall of 1867, so
that the hand OF Death has been busy
removing, and of the Pope in restoring,
the members of the College. At pres
ent the Italians still have a strong ma
jority in the High Council Of Roman
Catholicism, possessing some forty Car
dinals. English speaking Catholics
have four representatives Cullen, Nc
Closkey, Manning and Howard. All the
members of the Sacred College but elk
- two Of the Cardinal Bishops and
four Of the Cardinal priests-have re
ceived their red hats at the hands OF
Plus TX, who, also, is the senior in
years OF them all, except the venerable
Archbishop of Fermo, Cardinal de An
CELLS, who was born April 16, 1892,
almost month before the Pope.
