His Reasons for Disapproval of ParneH and
His Followers.
ROME, May 15.-The Pope, in his circular
to the Irish bishops, says: Whatever Par
nelPs object may be- his followers have often
adopted course openly against the
rules of the Pope's letter to Cardinal Nc
Cabe and the instructions sent the bishops,
which were accepted at their recent meeting
in Dublin. While it is lawful for the Irish
to seek redress for their grievances and strive
for their rights they should at the same
time seek Gods justice, and remember the
wickedness of illegal means in furthering even
a just cause. 1t is the duty of the clergy to
curb the feelings of the excited people, and
urge justice and moderation. The clergy
are not permitted to depart from these
rules and join and promote movements in
consistent with them. Collections to relieve
distress are permitted, but subscriptions to
inhane popular passions are condemned, and
the clergy must hold aloof when it is plain
that by such movements hatred and dissen-
sious are aroused, or distinguished persons
insulted. When crimes and murders go un-
censured, and when patriotism is measured
by the amount subscribed the people are
thereby intimidated. Therefore the Parnell
fund is disapproved and no clergyman
should recommend subscriptions thereto or
promote it."
1t is said that Archbishop Croke, on his re-
turn to Ireland, will visit Cardinal McCabe,
and the latter will come here to confer with
the Pope as soon as his health will permit
him to undertake the journey.

Senator Miller on the Next Presidential
Election,

SAN FRANCISCO, May Ex-senator Miller
visiting here, in an interview to-day said:
Though the Democrats affect to believe
that their chance of success is certain, | diff
fer from that. The election last fall cannot
be taken as a criterion of national politics
and the tariff the main issue, is apt to CON
travene their calculations. Every one who
knows anything about politics in New York
knows she is as apt to give as large majority
the other way as she gave the Democratic
ticket last fall. 1t is the manufacturing in
terests which decide the elections and shall
be much surprised if the tariff issue will not
play an important role in the result. | do
not, by any MEANS consider the result as a
foregone conclusion. On the contrary, it all
rests on the next session of Congress and its
acts; until that is ended all opinions as to the
chances of the various candidates are but
guess work"

RUSSIAN CORONATIONs.
Brief History of the Ceremony from It's
| Earliest Introduction.

Brief History of the Ceremony from It's
Earliest Introduction.
London Echo.
The first Russian Gar who introduced the
ceremony of coronation into Russia was the
mighty John III. or Ivan Ill (1462-15O5l,
the contemporary of Edward ", Richard
Ill, and Henry VII He married Sophia,
the niece of the very last Imperial orthodox
Emperor of Constantinople, and by this mar
riage claimed short succession to the first
Christian Cesar. 1t was in his reign, when
the Turk became master of the ancient capi-
tai of Eastern Chrstendom, that the kings of
western Europe seem first to have become
aware of the rise of the powerful new Christ
ian monarchy in eastern Europe and began
to send ambassadors to Moscow. Ivan did
not crown himself but in 1893 solemnly in
vested his grandson, Demetrius, with the I'm
perial Christian dadem and robe which had
been brought from Constantinope and been
worn by the Caesars of the Eastern Empire
The ceremony of JUNCTION at the coronation
was afterward introduced by Ivan ~, or
"The Terrible" and has since remained, as
it had all along been in western Europe, an
lnseparaole adjunct of the coronation Ivan
v. was Cne IfSt car VINO received the
eucharist at his coronation. Michael Theo-
drovitsch insisted upon being anointed not
only on his forehead and over his lips, but
on his beard also, after the biblical prece-
dent In earlier times the clergy of the Rus
sian church played greater part than they
do at present in the coronation ceremony
As it was held almost indispensable alike in
England, France and Germany that the ma
tional primates the Archbishops of Canter-
bury, Rheims ana Mainz, should "conse-
crate the national monarch to his office, so it
was in Russia with the Patriarch of Moscow.
The prelate was supposed to be the pc
culiar steward and minister of the
sacramental rite OF coronation. He gave the
divine confirmation and JUNCTION to the pre-
sumed free choice of the people The voice
of the people was thus supposed to become
the voice of God. The notion of a divine
right inherent in the head of a reigning fam
lily was a comparatively late conception in
Russia as well as in the West This appears,
however, to be now the predominant notion
both of the Russian czars and the Prussan
kings. The present German Emperor took
the crown from the altar and placed it upon
his own head. Similarly, in Russia, the rep
resentatves of the church now play quite a
subordinate part in the coronation of the
czars, being little more than minstering SER
wants and assisting spectators. Formerly the
Muscovte patriarch stood in much the same
relation to the Muscovite monarch as the Ro-
man pope stood to the Roman emperor
through the middle ages The thrones of
the car and the patriarch stood upon an

Excitement in Fashionable Circles Over "A
Case of Attempted Suicide.

New York, May 15.-The desperate act of
Lieutenant Giovanna Bettini has caused
some excitement in fashionable circles The
lady who refused Bettini is Miss Lillian
Aver, daughter of the late James C. Aver,
pill manufacturer, residing with her mother
at No. 5 West Fifty-seventh street. Her
friends say Lillian triled with Bettini till he
: became almost insane. Others declare that
Bettini was a general masher that Lillian
paid him in his own coin. There was a
courtship of long duration, and very tender
on both sides Previous to his final appeal
to Lillian he made his will, wrote several
letters in explanation to intimate friends
and to his brother, like himself an officer in
the Italian army. 1t Is not known what
passed between Bettini and Lillian, but there
was a secret which led to the shooting To-
day, in the hospital, he was the recipient of
beautiful bouquets and baskets of flowers from
several lady admirers He was visited by
the Italian consul Bettini was noted for his
bravery and chivalric disposition He was
on furlough for one year from the Savoy
cavalry to examine American military arms.

A Large Portion of HarrOdsburg, KY,
Burned to the Ground.

HARRoDsBURG KY, May 15.-About mid
night last night fire started in the office of
Tibbitts's lumber-yard and the wind blow
ing hard, the fire quickly spread and in
half an hour the principal business square of
byterian church was destroyed, together
with thirty other buildings. The fire engine
was useless for want of water, but the citi-
zens did what they could to help put out the
flames. Phil. Thompson, on trial for mur-
der, was among the busiest workers. His
jury looked on under charge of deputy
sheriff. At last accounts the fire was still in
progress. The loss is estimated at $3.50, ,0O0
Cincinnati Tmes-Star special says the
fire consumed twenty-four houses, including
the Presbyterian church. The loss is greatly
overestimated in the special dispatches, and
will not exceed $i5, 900; insurance, $2S, 600
