The Pope's Letter

Rome, Nov. 9-The pope yesterday
moning drew up and signed new
evangelical letter, an authorized transla-
lation of which into English, French
German and Italian is being made at
the vatican under the greatest secrecy
The evangelical letter will be published
in q few day. A dignitary who enjoys
the confidence of Leo Kill, has most
courteously enabled me to communicate
the nature and object of this papal de-
cree, which is of the utmost Importance
to the Catholic world, aud which is as
yet unknown, except to few person
ages in the immediate entourage of the
Holys father, The document is in two
parts-one doctrlnal, defining the rights
of the church in all existing govern
ments, and setting forth the pope's
views on the relations OF the church to
the state; the second draws q narrowing
picture OF modern society, suffering for
having abandoned the principles of the
Catholic church, and the consequent
failure to provide for, or relieve the
working classes, who, hungry miserable
and deceived. have lost all respect for
civil and religious authority, and now
seem on the verge of oyerturning the en-
tire social fabric of Europe by a revolu-
ton and anarchy. The pope at first en-.
titled the encyclical "Liberalism,D but

ernment" (ciritatum). This document

BOWEN s KINGsBURY, rropts.

1t is charged by the lncipient demo-
cratic statesmen OF our territorial realm
that Dakota is to-day overwhelmingly
republican because, from the date of its
organization up to the 4th of last March,
it was oflicered by republican carpet
baggers sent out from the states under
appointments By republican admins.
trations. This is buncombe assertion
with backing about as tang
ible as the claim from the
same source that few years of demo-
cratic rule will transform our territory
into democratic province. Statesman
Boynton makes these insipid allegations
IN the aqueous Washington interview,
and in uttering them he goes about as
far as man can go who has nothing to
say and delivers himself of his burden
Dakota is republican because it is peo-
pied largely by immigrants from the re-
publican states of Iowa, Minnesota and
Wisconsin. In about the proportion
that the republican majority of Dakota
has been increased in the past few years,
the republican maiorities OF the states
named have been decreased. The prop
osition that Dakota has been in the past
politically influenced by it's political ap-
pointments has attracted some atten-
tion, but it is only necessary to look to
the tipnras tO proye fhe contrary Sinna
ita organization in 1862 about ninety
federal officials have been appointed
to Office within it's boundaries by repnb-
llcan administrations. OF the ninety
appointees probably not more than one
half remain upon our soil. Our popuIa-
ton is 416,000, which gives us about co.
600 voters. The idea that $4,000 think
ing men are controlled and directed in
their political actions by forty five
federal Office holders and ex-oflice holders
is one which would find foothold only
in almost barren mental sofia sort
of an intellectual cactus which
springs up in the rocky ways of demo-
cratic understanding. Dakota is re-
publican because it contains popula-
tion Of republican voters, not one in
hundred of whom have ever been ex-
posed to the alleged Establishments OF
republican oficeholders The Boynton-
ian theory will never produce any fruit
in this realm.

THE WRECKED ALGuMA,
A Description Ofthe Deadly Disaster
by Passenger ON the Boat.


A Description of the Deadly Disaster
by Passenger on the Boat.
Winnipeg, special: Later accounts of
the disaster says: Suddenly a great
crash was heard, and the vessel rebound
ed and quivered like an aspen leaf.
"Good Godp said the captain, "she's
struck! Our doom has come.' Ten
seconds later all was the widest confu-
slon and alarm. Those who were on
deck roared their alarm, while the
shrieks of the milder sex were terrible.
Crash after crash, and the stout vessel
pounded the rocks. The cracking of the
timbeIs and ths swaying of the vessel
warned all that death in terrible form
was upon them. Tue relentless wind
seemed to scream its satisfaction, while
the STOW and sleet drove against the
half clad passengers.
1T is no use to describe the scene,
said one informant. Nothing worse
ever occurred on earth. In their mad.
ness, when the waves were washing the
deck, a number threw themselves into
the foaming billows. Others, when d
great wave would pass off the deck
which was swaying from side to side,
were swept into the sea like fathers.
Even the crew seemed powerless, SO
stricken were they with the awful sud-
denness and character of the disaster.
Meanwhile the boat rapidly went to
pieces, dashed against the rocks. The
crew, all of whom except the mattresses,
had chung to the rigging, managed dur
ing slight lull in she storm to place
themselves in a llfe-boat, cut the fasten-
iDgs, and IN an instant wave swept
them from the ill-fated wreck. Amid the
awful groans of the dying and the terri
bic dashing of the waves, the boat was
borne onward. Two of the passengers
mad managed to place themselves in the
boat before 1t was cut away from the
wreck. Any efforts that had been made
to launch the boats during the early
confusion and horror had failed. Mean
time the life boat and its occupants had
terrible experience on the open lake.
Once the boat was turned over with the
waves, and one of the crew was washed
away, but the frail craft righted itself
and was swept on in the comparative
darkness. After half an hour the boat
suddenly struck some rocks. The in
mates feared all was over with them as
the craft capsized, but to their surprise,
when thrown out of the water was only
foot deep, and they discovered that
they were on land. After remaining
there al hour or more, exposed to the
elements, the storm abated and the sky
cleared. 1t was then discovered that
they were on Isle Rsyal, and that the
vessel had been wrecked about mile
from shore on the great bonlders that
exist near the channel. 1t was about
ten o'clock in the morning, and the halt
dead crew remained there until late in
the afternoon when the SAthabasca came
along and they were taken to Port
Arthur,

Full election returns from the various
counties of the proposed state of Dako-
ia come in with provoking slowness.
Partial returns have been received from
nearly all the counties, but as only a
few of the counties are complete, no
definite idea of the result can be given
IN figures. The Press and Dakotaian
has full returns from eleven of the forty
nine organized counties in the
south half of Dakota, namely
Moody, Clay, McCook, Yanktop,
Lincoln, Hanson, Beadle, Buffalo,
Roberts, Kingsbury and Brown. These
counties gave an aggregate vote of 5,362
for the constitution and 1865 against, a
majority of 3.697 for the constitution.
Lawrence county reports majority OF
400, Grant Of $40 and Day of 800, which
gives majority of 4,717 in fourteen of
the forty-nine counties. These returns
indicate that the majority for the con
stitution will be about 10000. The con-
stitutional majority in 1883 in the then
organized counties of the south half
OF Dakota was 5,522. These compare
tive figures indicate a healthy growth
OF the statehood sentiment.
On the prohibition question, submit
ted separately from the constitution,
the eleven counties named give an aggre-
gate vote of 1927 for and 3,72l against,
majority thus far of 206 for prohibl-
tion. In these eleven counties minority
representation, also submitted as a
separate clause, has majority of 597,
the vote being 3.5O5 for and 2.90s
against.
