started. -, -.
We left the morning Of the 2Sd. The
Indians seemed unwilling for us to leave
until they learned what success General
Adams had in stopping the further advance

others TO save their lives. She was as

Jacks baud fought the troops,
and Douglas men killed the agent and en-
ployes. Agent Meeker was killed by Ante

1t while running from the house attempting
TO hide in the sage brush. The ball passed
through her dress and made sligh BIT flesh

CHOLERA sUBsIDIN0 IN JAPAN.
Yokohomo, Oct. ll.-Cholera is rapidly
subsiding. There were 100000 cases since
April and $1,000 deaths. The suppression
is due to the unprecedented energy Of the
government in sanitary regulations. The
authorities claim the epidemic would have
been under control two months ago had no,
European representatives opposed instead Of
seconding their efforts, and thousands Of
lives could have been saved. Chinese resi-
dents, who are notably uncleanly, would
not allow the authorities to visit and purify
their homes, citing the German minister's
action as q precedent.
TORTURE PROHIBITED.
The prime minister directs that all stat.
utes relating TO torture be expunged from
the national code.

A report is circulated that several mil.
lions Of fraudulent Japan money has been
issued coming from Germany, where the

not be too soon published that We mean Ia

assist US will not hereafter be left 10 settle
accounts with the future ruler. The CORES.
pondent indicates that the tendency Of opin.
ion at S;mla strongly favors policy Of dis
integratloo rather than an attempt to set or
a strong central government at Cabul. H.
points to the fact that here at Candahar ahG

The new rules for the guidance of news
paper correspondents in the field hav
aroused a storm of indignation. Their Oh

neither the viceroy nor commander in chic

THE EDUC1 TIONAL LIBERTY OF IRE
LIND

1t is said tAat when the really practical
session commences we are to have a gov.
ernment bill for Catholic university for
ireland. We most sincerely hope 80.
Never has any nation been 40 badly treated
as ireland as to,higher CBtholic education
The Protestants-a poor minCrity-have
their university Ut is really theirsr though
nouinal!y open to ally, and it ia richly
endowed. The Irish people have not one
single penny of assistance for educational
purposes. Maynooth College was essab-
Iished to counteract feelings which might
be opposed to England ION account of for
eign educatiOn), and, therefore, at estab
lishment does not count for Ireland, though
it has given to the Irish nation many of it's
most distinguished ecclesiastical patriots,
of whom to name one-the Archbishop of
TuAm-is enough.
Is Ireland to-have q Catholic uuiversitv
or not That is the question. The Daily
Telegraph says something that seems to
mean that bill TO that effect is coming
If sucb a bill be not announced by minis
tors at the usual opening of the session,
there will be great and most jast disap.
thirty years has Ireland been played with
on this subject. As for the infidel |
30 leen's Colleges" they have been no
ga ostiCute for that which Ireland really |
wants. They have proved to be worse
than useless, very dangerous to the Catho- |
lies of Ireland, for as the Church did not
forbid students to attend the lectures |
Though ecclesiastics were forbidden to |
hold ofice), many young Catholics were /
drawn into the vortex of infidelity.
Catholic Ireland must have her own |
or great wrong will be done.
Surely some Irish Catholic member will
,tep forward aud give notice of bill TO
hat effect. Let Ireland not be giving
attention to ministers or the Daily Tele

TIE ANTI-cATHoLIC oATH IN cANAD,


Canada's new Governor was called upon
TO take an oath, aimed specially at Casho
iice, to the effect that no foreigner has a
rigot to have any jurispiction, spiritual or
eccleslastical, in the realm and one would
suppose from its wording that the Catholic
Chnrch had no recognized footing in the
Dominion.
Such formula is wholly absurd in a
country in which the Catholic Church haa
million and half adherents; oatnum
oering the Church of England by more
than three to one; in which the Governor
general has constantly received Catholic
BISHOPS as each, honorlng the late Apos
InHc Delegate As represe tative of the
Holy See; and in no part of which a royal
eFe4udtur is necessary TO eBable a Bishop
60 eater lnto full possession of the tempo
raj and spiritual prerogatives of his See.
IN a large portion of Cauada, says the St
John freeman. the Catholic ia essentially
an established Church.
Tho absnrdity of the oath was made
evident by the course of the new Govern
or himself in the recognition shown to the
Archbishop of Halifax, during the festiyi-
ties OF bis installation as Governor, and in
the visits made by the vics-regal party TO
Catholic institutions.
A. relic of past intolerauce, the oath
is bald anachronism rs a statement of
iact, 1t Is plain falsehood and AZ an oath
prescribing the faith which gave the Do.
minlon ITS Christianity and civilization,
IL Is an Insult to the majority of the popu-
lation.

IL Is reported that French capita,igt.

ana what ls more surprising, that the Dead
Sea Itself can be turned to commercial II
account. Chief of these at present are the
stores of natural c-mbustibles for which
tnat region is noted.
Hitherto the main obstacle to the devel-
opment of steam traffic in the Levant has
been the total absence of combustibe ma
terlal. Not only Egypt, but the shores
OF Syria and the Red Soa are completely
stripped of wood, and the coal imported
from the West commands q price ranging
from $40 to S24 a ton. Now, the masses
of asphalt nually thrown up by the
Dead Sea attest the presence of vast sub
terraoean layers of fossil vegetable matter,
and these signs were not long overlooked
oy the enterprising men attracted to Suez
by the opening of the canal and tho move
ment of commerce in that direction. Re-
Gently numerous soundings have been
made between Jatfa and the Dead Sea,
which, 50 far, have not disclosed any de-
posits OF coal proper, but, on the other
hand have laid bare inexbaustible beds of
Ignite.
Of itself this store of Ignite ia likely to
prove an inestimsble gain to the industries
and commerce OF the Levsnt; but we
should add that the juxtaposition of
asphalt in great quantities furnishes the
elements of a mixture of Ignite and
aspbaltum in the form of bricks, which is
equal in heating capacity to the richest
bltuminous coal, while 1ts cost on the
ground is only So so ton. 1t is known
that similar bricGs, maGe up of coal duet
and bituminoos debris from gas works,
are much sought after by French railways
since, besides their heating power, they
greatly facilitate stowage, owing to their
regular shape. Of course, the bitumen of |
lower Palestine has been known from |
i'm memorial times, and was used to impart
solidity to the structures Of unbaked clay |
ln Assyria and Egypt; bat it may be said |
that the discovery of the subterranean
,ombustible has lifted once for all the
'urse which has 80 long rested upon Sodou
and GOmorrah, and will transform the
wasted shores OF the Dead Sea into q
ocus of industry and a magazine of wealth,

BILE severe winters there have been in
E Irope, not a few OF which have bad their
Importance ss we'll as their interest in his
tory. In 401 the Black Sea is said to have
been frozen over for twenty days, aud
between October 763, and February 764,
such frost prevailed at Constantinople
that the seas are spoken of as frozen for a
hundred miles from shore. It is certain
that twoEcenturies before, in $50, Zlbergan,
King OF the HQns, crossed the Danube on
the ice and routing the troops of Justiuian
spread over Thrace to the very walls of
Conssantnople, this being the first incur
sion of tho Bulgarians who are next week
to choose a prince and regain their anton
omy. In 1922 ice covered the Hellespont.
In 1891 the Categst was frozen over in
1923 the Baltic was passsble to travellers
for SIX weeks again in l402 it was frozen
from PHmerania TO Denmark, and twenty
fonr winters later it's surface would bear "a

In 1850 horsemen rode from Denmark to
Sweden, ard in 1913 sledges drawn By oxen
travelled or the sea from ROstock t. Den

horse and foot, aud his artillery, trains and
baggage, crossed the Little Bolt from Hol
stein to Denmark, to lay siege to Copen
hagen. Tue German chronicles contain
as many records of severe seasons. In |
1888 the large fowls of the air sought shell |

again in 1914 wine merchants in Flanders |
cut their wines-champague frappe with a
only champagne was still
thing corked up and wired in the bottle of
the future-with hatchets and sold them
iu Jumps. In 1865 the lazy Scheldt was
frozen 80 hard that it sustained the weight
of loaded wagons: again, in 1894, it and
the Rhine were frozen over in the great
cold of 1922 the Zoyder q 80 was icebound
and in 1861 the winter brought the Wolves
into the streets of Vienna, where they
attacked horses and even men.
