some respects they may be surpassed

THE ORDER OF ST. BENEDICT.
Approaching Meeting and Election of Two
New Abbots for the Benedictines.

NEW YORK. Feb. 10Th order of st. Bene-
dict has five abbots in America. including Arch
abbot Boniface, who presides over the mother
house. St. Vincent's Abbey, near Latrobe, Pa.
This venerable monk founded st. Vincent's in
1846, and has there to-day a grim edifce forming
a quadrangle, the front of which is 500 feet
long. This huge pile, which includes a church,
abbey and college, is built of brick. in the Sc
verest style of monastic architecture. and stands
on a lonely road, about two miles from the town.
Near by are several other buildings which
the monks use as workshops. The abbey
lands consist of two tracts, one of 900 and
the other of l, 200 acres. To day and on Tuesday
morning more than 100 members of the order
will arrive at st. Vincent's to take part in an
election for abbots of two new abbies. ST Mary's.
in Newark, and ST. Mary's Help Of Christians. in
North Carolina. The monks who are entitled to
vote number ll3. the most OF whom are exnected

The electors are the ordained monks in the con
gregation, of which Boniface is president. in
other words, all the professe6 Benedictines in the
States lying east of the Mississippi. Besides
them, there are, in the same jurisdiction. about
$50 brothers. lay brothers and novices who can
not cast a ballot. On Tuesday the electors will
convene in what is called q scrutinium. Each
monk may name a candidate who will at once
withdraw, whercupon his character will be scru-
tinized and his fitness for the Office of abbot be dis
sussed. No electioneering is permitted, and it
IS even forbidden the monks to say whom they
will vote for. The elections will be held on
Wednesday. Mass will be celebrated at 8 o'clock.
and the Holy Ghost be asked to guide the monks
In their choice, after which all the electors will
be sworn on the four gospels TO cast their votes

their judgment. shall be the best fitted for the

stricken out, the presumption itself would be of
no use and the soldier would be as badly off as
at present.
Mr.. Harrison said the provision as it stood in
the bill was just what the soldiers-through the
Grand Army Of the Republic-had asked for. 1t
was satisfactory to them, and it was proper that
some protection against fraud should be left to
the government. 1t was not to be supposed the
government would be very diligent in combat
ing cases where there was not an appearance of
fraud.
Mr.. Miller, of California, said he wanted the
burden of proof to rest all the time on the gov
eminent.
Mr.. Hawley said all ex soldiers were unaEi-
mously OF the opinion that the government.
should have some protection, should have the
right OF %rebuttal, and should exercise it.
MIR Millers motion was not agreed to-yeas
IL, nays 36.
Mr.. ingalls, explained that he had made his
motion for the purpose of raising a point regard
ing the Senate rule. The committee on appro-
p~rlatlons had stricken out some provisions, on
the ground that they were general legislation,
but had retained other provisions of precisely
that character. This would seem to mean that
the Senate rule was to be enforced when sena-
tors wanted 1t to operate, and not to be enforced
when they did not want it to operate. Mr..
!ngallss own conviction was that the provision as
IT came from the House was sound, and that the
Senate ought to agree to it.
After further discussion, the ingalls, amend
menu was voted down-yeas 16, nays A.
Mr.. ingalls, himself voted in the negative.
The bill was then passed, substantially as it came
from the Senate committe, all legislation found
on the bill as it came from the House, relating
to compensation of pension attorneys, ETC., being
struck ont, the Senate having already passed a
special bill containing these provisions. The
bill now goes to the House for concurrence or
inconvenience in the Senate's action striking
out the provisions referred to.
The Senate then took up and resumed the con-
sideration of the House bill repeating the pre-
emption and timber-culture laws. After some
debate, Mr.. Dolph proposed an amendment pro
viding that all entries, heretofore made under
prescription laws, on which final proof and pay
menJ has been made, to which there are no ad-
verse claims, and which have been sold to limo
cent purchasers. shall be confirmed and patented
upon presentation of satisfactory proof to the
proper department officer.
Mr.. Sherman thought this required careful
consideration. 1t might operate to deprive the
United States of the right to recover lands
originally obtained from them by fraud.
Without decision on the amendment, the
Senate adjourned.

Terre Haute,s Flour-Makers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Feb. 10.-The Terre Haute
Touring mills are now running at their average
capacity-8,0 900 barrels per week, and this out
put is largely going abroad. A year ago the
Kidder Brothers were about the only firm here
who were in the export business, but during the
past few months nearly all of the city mills have
gone into the trade. This is owing to the
difference between the cost of sacks
and barrels, amounting to about fifteen cents
a barrel in favor of sacks. which in itself is a
a very good profit. All -four exported is put up
in sacks, and as the foreign barrel is $50 pounds
instead of 1876. it makes the use of sacks not only
necessary fer shipping, but decreases proper
t~ionately the cost of sacking to the miller. Terre
Haute when producing 5000 barrels a week
ranks fourth. If not third, in the country, Min
neapolis being first and ST. Louis second.

YSEULT DUDLEY.
A Letter in Which She Expresses Her Con-
tempt for 0DOnoyan Rosa.

New York Special.
Mrs. Lucille Yseult Dudley is as calm as ever.
She is characterized by the same imperturbabil-
iy as she displayed on her first admittance to
the Tombs, and is as self-possessed as if receiv-
ing callers in a drawing-room. She has written
the following letter:
ITO the Editor of the Tribune:
"Want of time has prevented me from sooner
acknowledging the receipt of two sums of money
sent through your valuable paper, and / take
this opportunity of thanking the donors for the
kind sympathy which they have expressed for
me. To the one who subscribed himself as Poor
Old Irishman, would say thathis assertion that
Rossa's actions are condemned by all honest Irish
people, is Endorsed by every truly patriotic man
and woman. Rosa preached assassination and
murder as the highest form of patriotism, and
advocated the dedication of life and liberty to
further the cause of violence and bloodshed.
When he made me an unexpected convert, and
one who, not content with theory, put his les
sons into a practical form, thus proving myself
an apt pupil, what right had he to complaint
Imitation | have always understood to be the
s%incerest form of fiattery. But Rossas victims,
being three thousand miles AWAY from him,
and brave hearted, no appeal for mercy had
ever reached him; therefore, he neglected to
teach me the proper course to pursue in such
an event l was brought face to face with alb
ject cowardice for the first time, and, forgetting
my recent lessons, l reverted to the teaching OF
the heroes of my country. Never strike a fallen
foe,' and gave Rosa the worthless life he begged
for. His craven appeal astonished me quite as
much as my bullet astonished him, and taught
me the truth of Hlsop's fable of the ass in the
lions skin. He could boast of laying the fairest
edifces of England in ruins, of hurting into
eternity men, women and children, of removing
crowned heads from the universe; but when a
woman gave him a small pill from his own phar-
macy. he, to borrow the expressive expression of
the United Ireland, 'squealed.' Not one thou
sandth part of the atrocities commit.
ted almost daily by the followers of
his doctrine in Ireland against honest Irish peo-
pie, have ever been committed by the English,
whom he denounces as such bloodthirsty tyrants.
In conclusion, / may assure all my sympathizers
that shall avail myself of the best counsel l
can procure, and leave my case contentedly in
their hands. Apologizing for occupying so much
of your valuable space, Iremain, sir, yours very
truly, LUCILLE YsEULT DUDLEY"
