ITALIAN PRIESTS COMING.
The Propaganda Has Decided to Send

no publi,he. the PopE'. letter to the bishops
IN America With reference To the care Of
Italian immigration. This letter says
THE Pope deplores the fact that many
Italians forced by poverty to emigrate. md
Themselves In a worse position than ever in
America. Great danger attends their souls
both daring the voyage and on their arrival
owing to the difii ,ulty Of meeting priests
speaking Italian Being much preoccupied
With these facts the Pope charged the Con-
gregation de Prodaganda Eide to study the
twofold question Of ho~ to promote both the
religious and material welfare of emigrants
and il has been decided to dispatch priests
from Italy TO localities inhabited by Italian
emgrsnts"
The Pope declares that il will afford him
great satisfaction If the American bishops
will facilitate the task of these priests by re
ferring to the Propaganda in regard to any
changes required in their sacred duties. His
Holiness concludes with benediction upon
the bishops, clergy and faithful in America.

the runors about the Panama Canal
scheme and loans for the completion Of
the proposed work, are various and con
hictiug. The y \ Tribune remark. that
the rumor that the French Government
will take up the proposed work and finish
1t az a national measure ia diScredited,
Paris dispatches say, and 1t may we'll be.
More than eight years ago, when the big
gcst aud most inpudent u all modern
swindlcs was In it. infancy. il was seriously
considered Mt Washington whether the
United States ought not to make known
to France the feeling of the Nation in n,
gard to the construction Of an lsthmus
canal under the control Of any European
government. Officially, or unotllcially,
informed OF the situation, the French
Minister obtained authority to notify to
the United States government, by letter
OF March -, 1850, that France had a
"frm purpose" to allow the enterprise ITO
remain an essentially private one" and
sin no way proposes to give it any sup
port either direct or indirect" II Is not
to be expected that the French govern
ment will now take up the burden Of this
bankrupt enterprise, after formally giving
to the United States "assurances in writ
ing" which, In the language OF the French
Minister, were intended ITO put an end to
all uncertainty as to the mature OF the
I,,.t h..
ernment." Yet IL is well to remember
that Frenchmeu "a well a. white men
are mighty uncertain" European diplo-
matte professions and promises are but
too often very slippery, and certainly can
never be relied on agsins memorable facts
and the logic of events. Doubtless the
words Of the French Minister in 1850 were
sincere. aud fairly represented
at least the Republican sentiment
OF Frenchmen at the time they
were expressed. But times aud circum-
stances change the Wills aud the wishes
of men. Nothing can be more probable
than that II the Panama Canal shall final
ly be completed by French money aud
French agents and directors, than that
future French Interests and French opin-
ions Will force their government to be its
sponsors and managers. Lucid and oily
pledges aud assurances to the contrary
In lsso OF in lssS will not be worth the
paper they are written on in the whirl and
rush of future rival commercial interests
and necessities. They will prove no bet
ter for PRACTICAL purposes than paper
o'oeksdes in belligerent emergencies, or
peace proclamations to stay the tide of
wT To avoid future complication. with
france aud other European powers, the
easiest and safest way is to construct the
Nicaragua Canal under American auspices
anu control. To this end, therefore, Con-
xress will do well to give no heed to De
Lesseps lobbyists hanging about Wash
,ngson, whether represented by ashy
sp'noia or anybody else. The demands
anu interests of the United States are so
plainly obvious that 1t is the merest pre-
tense on the part of any Congressman
'nat ne is In doubt or does not understand
"nS' are present American duties as to
'ae shortest and cheapest American route
between the Atlantic aud Pacific States of
this Republic.

The Pocomoke City Fire.


The total number of buildings destroy.
ed in Thursdays fire at Pocomoke City,
Md, is 81, as follows: Thirty-eight
stores, thirteen dwellings, two hotels,
town hall, livery stable, three newspaper
offices and several small buildings. The
loss is less than was first stated. A care
full estimate places it at s253, 800, and the
insurance at 153, 900.
The fire originated, it is supposed, from
a defective flue, which set fire to the roof
of the large three story building occupied
by D. o. J. Truitt as a drug store. At
Ais O'Clock in the afternoon, when first
discovered, the flames we're breaking
through the roof. The entire structure
was soon In blaze. The town has no
fire engine and the citizens formed them
selves into bucket brigades and fought
the flames, but strong north wind made
their efforts of little avail. Both the
Salisbury and Crisfield Fire Department
when sent for came quickly on special
trains and did good service.
The area swept over by the flames is
about two and half acres. All the mer.
chants had laid in large winter stocks of
goods and their loss is very heavy. Three
stores are left in the town. Several safes
have been taken from the ruins and the
contents found intact.
The business men Of the town met Fri.
day evening and formed an organization
for the improvement of the burnt district.
They will submit to the residents plan
TO widen and straigEten the streets. A
committee consisting OF William M.
Schoolfield, F. H. Dryden, E. G.. Polk,
e. Fontalne and w. s. Dickinson have
been appointed to receive donations
for the sufferers.
The Cecil County Insurance Company
of Elkton will lose about $4,000. The
Kent County Mutual Insurance COM
pany of Dover, DEL, about $40 200. The
Montgomery Mutual Of Sandy Spring,
Md :. abo ut S12, 900. The Farmers Mutual
Of Wilmington, will lose about $1,000.
Other companies involved are the Glen
Falls and Continental of New York, the
German and Baltimore Of Baltimore, the

and others.
The heaviest losers by the fire are D.

Burned to Death T..

A 5-year old daughter of George and
Ida B urton, colored living in the suburbs
OF Dover, was burned to death on Mon
day. The parents are employed on a
farm near their home and have been in
the habit of leaving their three children
aged respectfully four, five and seven
years at home in the meantime. The
husband came home about 8 o'clock
Monday afternoon and left the children
all right, but few minutes after young
girl passing saw the little girl lying in
the yard face downward with her CLOTH
ing all burned from her body and in a
dying condition on looking into the
house she saw some clothing on fire,
which she threw into tub of water, and
then ran to the parents, who were at
work, and told them of the sad accident.
When the latter returned the child was
dead, having been literally cooked, and
when picked up her intestines dropped
out. From the statements made by the
Oldest daughter, it seems that the child
rem had been playing with the fire, and
the little girl put piece of paper in the
stove to light it, when her clothing
caught, and she ran around the room
until she fell out of the door in dying
condition.-Every Evening.
