MASSES FOR THE DEAD
Not Legal, Because the Beneficiary Is Not
Capable of Taking Care of Them.

New YORK, June 6.-Judge Freedman rem
dered decision to-day in the case of Michael
Gilman, administrator of John Gilman, de-
ceased, against Harry McArdle, who was in
trusted with certain moneys by the intestate
by which to procure masses for the repose of
his soul. Judge Freedman follows a decision
made recently by Judge Sully, of Chicago, in
a similar case. This holds that the trust is
not legal one, for the reason that there is
no beneficiary capable of taking it, and that
therefore the administrator is entitled to the
fund which was to be devoted to this pur-
pose. cestui que trust, he says must be
an individual, having a physical existence,
or to come into existence during the life
time of the trustee

Greater Concessions than Those Heretofore
offered.
BERLIN, June 6.-The government bill rel
ment and the Catholic church is prefaced by
the statement that the government is anxious
to serve the interests of Prussian Catholics
by providing for regular services in vacant
parishes. Therefore, on the Vatican declin-
ing to accept the proposals which Prussia
had offered, the government deemed it their
duty to grant, without awaiting the result
of further negotiations with Rome those
concessions which were announced in the
governments note to the Vatican of May
8, and which do not impair the authority of
the state Liberal papers consider that the
bill shows fresh retreat on the part of the
government, and that the concessions which
it makes exceed those announced in the
note of May 8.
The Germania, a Clerical organ, also thinks
the concessions provided for in the bill larger
and better than these heretofore offered. The
Center party will probably draft the bill,
while the Conservatives will certainly sup
port it. The majority thus seems to be
secured for the measure. The Germania
says the bill is the first step toward a more
thorough revision of the May laws.
The National Zeitung says: THE Cultur-
kampf is ended and Prussia has laid down
her arms" The Center party says it has
been repaid for voting in favor of the arbi-
trary power conferred on the police by the
trade regulation bill. The people at the
next election must avert the danger threat
ened by the church policy of the govern
ment

THE wELLAND CANAL.
The Damage that Would BE Caused by
Its Destruction


Its Destruction
Toronto Correspondence New York Herald
The Welland canal is thirty-six miles long
and connects Lakes Ontario and Erie.
avoiding the Niagara river and the Falls.
There is nearly one hundred feet of fall in
the water between the mouth and the foot
of the canal at Port Dalhousie, OH Lake
Ontario, and an immense amount of damage
could be done by dynamiters to the country
surrounding by destroying it, The country
there lies rather low, and millions of acres of
farms and valuable fruit-glowing lands
would be destroyed by the inundation that
would have inevitably been caused had the
plot been carried out
The construction of the canal Is peculiarly
favorable for the disastrous use of dynamite
upon it, and had sufficient quantities of the
explosives been used there is no doubt that
the canal could have been almost completely
destroyed. AT number of locks there is q
difference in the water between the two
levels of from fifteen to twenty five feet
which, by a sudden forcing of the gates,
would demolish the banks and masonry. At
Merriton, near st. GATHERINGS, the Great
Western railway runs through a tunnel
under the canal, and had this been blown up
all railway communication with New York
and other cities would have been destroyed.
The most disastrous blow would have been
the cutting off of water communication with
the upper lakes by canal, as the old Welland
canal is wholly unfit for the traffic which the
new canal takes. The latter waterway was
enlarged at an expense of $50 100000 within
the past five years, and IS of the greatest ad
vantage TO Canadian and American shipping
in the lower lakes.
1t is thought now that the Fenians who at

to destroy other public works in Canada
