THE third Plenary Council of the Roman
Catholic Church in the United States opened
in Baltimore, Nd, on the 9th. Archbishop
Kenrick, of St. Louis, Mo-, celebrated pom
ufcal high mass, and the opening sermon
WAS preached by Archbishop Ryan, of
Philadelphia. The ceremonies were OF a
most imposing character. The Ccuncli
will remain in closed session: fur three
weeks.
OK the night Of the 9th terrific expio
sion shook Salt Lake City, UtGh. 1t was
caused by the explosion of over two tons OF
powder at the Pascoe lime quarry. 1t is
claimed that q fuse was laid AMI fire set to
it. Considerable damage was lone In the
vicinity, thousands of tons of rock being
thrown down the hill. Considerable rail-
road track was torn up and a number of
cars destroyed,
The political situation up to the morning
Of the lUth remained unchanged, the final
declaration of the result depending upon
the outcome of the official canvass in New
York. In obedience to the mandate OF the
Democratic National Committee, the cleo
ton of Cleveland and Hendricks was cele-
trated the evening of the Sth at various
points with salutes, speeches, pnrades, etc,
others, however, preferring to await the
final count in the Empire State before
giving vent to their enthusiasm. Mean
while there is pent-up excitement
throughout the country which might, upon
small provocition, become dang gerous.
Up to TIE :lorning of the :th returns
received hdicated that New York
had gone fr Cleveland and Hendricks.
Inc Republican managers, however, still
aalmed to have carried the State. The
majority claimed ON either side was SO
small that the revised count will be neces-
@ry to definitely determine which side has
leailr Won the race. If it proves tba
ueveland has been successful in
New York he will have 219 electoral
'O'es' The excitement attendant upon the
'eCelpt of the delayed returns in the prin-
upai cliies during the day and even
ls Of the 9Th was of the most intense
inscription, and only the wise precaution-
NY measures of the police in some in
~ances prevented serious collisions.
