terms with the Italian government; the others
are neutral and disposed to join either the
liberals or the extre mists, whichever show

In view OF the approaching end Of the
Pope, the constitution of the college of car.
dinals that elects his successor becomes a
most interesting matter. 1t has been noticed
by the papers that the present college ear,.
tains larger number Of foreign or non
Italian cardinals than any body since that
which elected to the Papacy Adrian ", the
only English Pope
Inc sacred college, when complete, consists
OF seventy members, but the full number is
rarely or never reached. At the present time
there are sixty-two cardinals, of whom thirty
SIX are Italians and twenty-six Of various
other nationalities; that is, the Italians have
majority OF only ten, the smallest thew have
enjoyed for over four centuries. The other
nationalities contributing cardinals are !.

Anglo-America 2, Poland l, Germany
Austria Q. =
Inc Italians are most likely to get the
Papacy. If an italian is not elected to that
high Office, it is certain that it will be given
to a Frenchman.
Another important question is, what will
pc the views of the next Pope: will he

liberal. The opinions of the cardinals on
this point are believed to be as follows.

Immediately followed by fire, occurred
at live minutes past O'Clock this ever
ing in the immense candy mandatory

L to College Place. a large number OF
girls Of all ages were employed at Il e
time in the building. The walls tell
within 4 few minutes alter the explosion.
A policeman who was on duty near the
building says he saw the front Of the
building. five stories high, tall into the
street. Fiity-six wounded and one dead
person were reported at the Chambers

could give no idea OF how many were IN

but thought about 10. Or these about
20 escaped by the College place entrance.
aud 3 small number got oGt through sky
lights, walked over roofs, and GOT down

book keeper, who WAS on the Barclay

through the window TO the street and
badly Gu. on the head. Several jumped
from the second story and escaped with
slight injuries, the tall being broken by
the policemen ana citizens on the side

of life can be given tonight, bnt it must
be large.
Parties employed in the factory we're
principally young girls and boys from 8
to 20 years OF age. owing 10 the

origin of the Texas Riot.
View YoEk Herald


The scene OF the disturbances in Texas
is a salt deposit in E. Paso county. The
disturbance is riot. The salinas have
been used ever since the settlement OF the
country, by all the people of the region,
and By Mexicans IRON chihuahua, as their
resource for salt The land lay open 10
ST corners. until in 1850 it was located
by company, which tried to exact toll
from the people tor the salt they gathered.
This was resisted so universally that the
company ceased their efforts and a-aH.
doned the land, and the free collection Of
salt went on until a few months ago,
when the successors OF the former owners
again claimed possession, and employed
one Howard as their attorney 10 collect
tells from the salt gatherers. Since then
there has been an increasing excitement
among the people OF the neighhorhood.
and two or three months ago there was
a riot, which was put down.
The leader OF tine opposition 20 sat
dues was man named CordOYa, an ltal-
ian, who was a local politician aud pO'
iitical opponent OF Howard, aud being %
popular man. had Defeated Howard In a
contest for local office. Not long ago
Howard met Cordoya in store and here
killed him, which caused more trouble
and intensified the bitterness. The pres
ent disturbance has grown out OF these
causes.
The population OF Ell Paso County Is
largely Of Mexican origin, and there is
no proof here that the Mexicans engaged
in rioting are other than residents oil the
county and citizens OF the United States.
One of the sources OF possible excitement
and trouble In III So border matters arises
from the fact, that when Mexicans are
accused of wrong or lawless conduct,
they are oftenest inhabitants and citizens
of Texas, whereas the public wrongiulIy
understands them to be people from
across the border. Those who are in.
dustriously tomenting war feeling here
avail themselves constantly of this con
fusion OF terms.
