LETTER FROM THE POPE.
An Encyclical Directed Against Freemasonry
and Other Secret Societies.

and Other Secret Societies.
ROME, April 17.-In an encyclical letter of the
Pope, which will be published next week, Leo
XIII lays special stress upon Freemasonry and
the means to be employed to defend ''the city of
Cod against ''the city of Satan"
The following is the resume of the letter:
'The plan of the secret societies is no longer a
nsgtery. 1t is a struggle against the church,
and the various Popes have very properly excom-
municated Freemasons. Since $50 years the
secret societies have increased frightfully
grave peril thus threatens society. The Socialist
has his source of strength in Masonry. The
Papacy is placed in intolerable situation
Masonry does not avow its real object 1t drives
the innocent by a varnish of toleration
1.-THE press. marriage education, the sover-
eignity of the people. the atheism of the State,
return of paganism. Masonry hatters princes in
the hope of having them for auxilaries. Gov
ernments should choose between masonry and
the church, which sustains authority and ineul-
Gates obedience
The Pope thus prescribes to Bishops their
duties:
First by pastoral letters, unmask secret
societies, and make the people abhor them
second ex tend Christian education; third, urge
agriculturists and workingmen to organize
Catholic associations and conferences of St.
Vincent de Paul; fourth watch the schools, and
exhort the youth never to become members of
any society without first consulting their
priests"
The Pope ends his encyclical by imploring the
aid of the Blessed Virgin

THE CASE AGAINST SWAIN.
The General Ready to Investigate the Mat
ter in the Civil Courts.

The General Ready to Investigate the Mat
ter in the Civil Courts.
WASHINGTON, April 17-Judge Advocate gen
eral Swain said to-day, that he intended to say
nothing about the charges preferred against him
by Mr.. Bateman. He added that the matter was
for the civil courts to decide; that the con
tractors to whom he had given the due-bill had
sued Bateman for the amount it calls for, and in
the trial everything in connection with the mat
ter would become known, and he was willing to
stand by what would come out then AS to a
courtmartial being ordered, he said he hardly
thought it likely that a court-martial would try
what evidently belonged to the civil courts.
When questioned further General Swain said he
was sure the whole trouble would be found to
have originated from mistake and misunder
standing on the part of Bateman. The Secre
tary of War has as yet, taken no action in the
matter, and it is stated a settlement is being ar
ranged which will result in the withdrawal of
the charges against Gen. SWAIN
THE CHARGES WITHDRAWN.
Mr.. Bateman, the banker, who yesterday fur
nished copy of his charges against General
Swain, says this afternoon that the s., 900 due
bill mentioned therein, having to-day been re-
turned to his firm and the suit against them
based upon it by the parties to whom it was
transferred having been withdrawn, ne has
written letter to the Secretary of War as as fol-
lows:
Dear Sr-The suit against our firm on the due bill

d. G. Swain having been withdrawn, and the differ

A letter received from an Irish sympathizer
with the dynamite party states that the dyna

hundred and fifty pounds have been sent from
France to England within the past three weeks.
A girl, a resident of Cork, and sister, a
dynamiter living in Paris carried it
across the channel. The girl is also
a medium of communication between

The olice-Court Methods of Attorneys En-
gagged in the Investigation.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April IA stranger who might
happen to drop in upon the committee now en-
gagged in the investigation of the loss of the
Jeanette, would think at once that he had
strayed into poice-court trial, where some poor
tramp was up for chicken stealing, instead of
into the room of a congressional committee. No
one could blame the stranger for the mistake,
for the lawyer who represents Mr.. Collins has all
the attributes of second rate policecourt bar
rister, with, perhaps, a shade less of the gentle
manly instinct than even that much abused man
possesses. In spite of all the promises of great
disclosures, about the most important fact thus
far developed is that Professor Raymond, natu-
ralist of the expedition, once lost glass of grog
and some one drank it. Melville is supposed to
have been the guilty party. The whole investi-
cation thus far has been of the most trivial and
disgusting character that committee of Con-
gress could possibly be engaged upon. and from
the outlook it is difficult to imagine why the in
quiry was ordered Nothing remains to be
shown beyond the fact that Melville and Dan
enhower were not in love with one another
and that among the crew there was no more har-
mony than usually exists in church society

Disappearanre of a YOUNG Girl.

ST. LOUIS April 17.--Another mysterious dis
appearance has occurred here, which is attract
ing considerable attention. Miss Cora Weber,
aged fifteen of Atchison, Kan, left the Convent
of the Visitation, corner of Cass avenue and
Nineteenth street, early yesterday morning, and
has not since been seen or heard of. She left
a letter. addressed to her mother, in which she
said she was going to drown herself, as she
could not help stealing, and she did not want to
disgrace her parents and friends 1t seems she
had broken one of the strict rules of the convent,
but what one is not yet known, and had been
punished for it. This caused her great humilia-
ton, and it is possible she may have drowned
herself, but the general theory is that she has
simply run away.

house of e. F. Leggett, 1886 Washington

LONDON, April 17.-It now transpires that
several anonymous letters threatening the life
of Queen Victoria during her journey to Darn

trice performed the journey to Sheerness
in safety. A line of signalmen was stretched
along the entire line of railway from Windsor to
Sheerness, so close together as to be plainly
visible to each other and with orders to main
tain continuous patrol, watching the track for

the royal train if necessity arose. The carriages
