the Committee on the Judiciary in a brief
executive session held by the Senate early

sidered, either at the regular meeting Mon

Fourth Judicial Circuit, comprising Mary

place of Justice Woods. 1t is stated au-
thoritatively that none Of the present mem
bers of the court propose to resign during
this administration, 50 there will be no
more vacancies TO fill, unless they are caused
by death. There is no truth in the reports
that the President is already selecting a

R0ME'S FINGER IN ERIN.
THE RECENT DECREE EAFORETAST
OF WHAT'S TO COME.

The Special Congregation of the
Propaganda Examining Several
Questions Relative to the Agitation
Those Opposing the Vetican's De-
cisions to be accommodated.
LONDON, May at is stated that the
papal decree and Cardinal Monaco's circular
to the bishops are considered preliminary
steps to further action in Irish affairs The
special congregation of the Propaganda,
composed exclusively of cardinals, is now
examining several questions relative to the
Irish agitation upon which it will formally
vote. Cardinal Simeoni has submitted at
least ten points to the congregation. The
Vatican appears resolved that those oppos-
ing its decisions will place themselves out
side the pale of moral and Christian law.
The Vatican does not doubt that the Irish
bishops will feel the necessity of adopting
the lire of conduct the Vatican prescribes.
DISPOSITIONS STOLEN.
DUBLIN, May 2-The trial of William
O'Brien, M. p, who was arrested April Il
on his arrival at Kingston from London in
consequence of a speech made at Loughrea,
was resumed to-day. When the case was
tttlcNi buo dI0OunCeu Uudb luT-
ing the night the office of the Court of Ses-
sions had been broken into by burglars, who
stole number of dispositions and warrants,
and that 1t would therefore be necessary to
reopen the case at the beginning.
A VIOLENT ARTICLE.
United Ireland has a violent article to-
day on the Pope's decree 1t says: THE
rescript stamps Mr. Balfour's abject failure.
IL is the coercionists' last card. Thea Tories
have initiated the weakest and most de-
spicable of English monarchs, King John.
They have paid tribute to Rome for help in
an hour of ignominious defeat, thereby buy
ing their own death warrant. They also
hoped that the rescrpt would demoralize
the Catholic faith in Ireland, which they
hate as bitterly as they do the eague They
hoped the Indignation and wounded affec-
tion would be more powerful than terror;
but they will utterly fail in both nefarous
projects. Irishmen will take the rescript for
what it is worth, and nothing more" The
article concludes with a denunciation of
Mgr. Persico's "one-sided inquiry"
The new journal, the IrishBldn Catholic,
which appeared in Dublin to-day, has a
mild leader to same effect.
IL The Ennis board of guardians have de-
cided that the Papal circular is based on
slanderous misrepresentation. They de-
mand an impartial inquiry, and In the mean
time have resolved to support Messrs. Par
nell and Dillon.
ARCHBISHOP WALSH MAY RESIGN.
ROME, May 2.-Archbishop Walsh has
been having frequent conversations recently
with Cardinal Simeoni. The latter urged
the necessity of submitting to the Pope's
rescript. The Archbishop declared his
readiness to submit to the Popes orders, but
said that he could not act in opposition to
his own conscience. He would rather,
without making any difficulty, resign his
position in Dublin. 1t Is reported that If he
should resign he would be created Cardi-

WOMEN DELEGATES.
For the first time in the history Of the
conference women have been sent as dele

JACKSON'S FATAL DUEL.
Editor Martin as Brave as q Lion
Under Terrible Odds.


New ORLEANS, May 2-E. s. Martin,
publisher of the Netc MisSiSSippian, sends
the Ricagune the following account Of the
tragedy at Jackson yesterday: "Mr.
Martin was returning to his office
from his dinner at about Q o'clock,
when he was met midway between
his home and his Office by Gen. Adam and a
friend, who had left the post Office few
minutes earlier and were proceeding toward
Mr.. Martins home. An eye witness, Walter
johnson, who was standing near, states that
Gen. Adams stopped Mr.. Martin and en-
gagged him in conversation for about a
minute, when Gen. Adams drew his pistol
and fired, knocking Mr. Martins hat off.
Gen. Adams second shot brought MIR.
Martin to his knees.
DIED GAME.
"The latter experienced considerable
difficulty in drawing his pistol, but fioally
succeeding, he fired rapidly. The third
shot by Gen. Adams caused Mr. Martin to
fan fat on his back. After few seconds
however, he partially rose, and steadying
himself on his elbow, shot Gen. Adams
directly through the heart, killing him in
stantly. Mr.. Martin lived a few minutes
only, remarkihS to Charles Campbell: i
am dead man. Owing to the fact that
Mr.. Martin is believed to have
received four shots, while only
three chambers of Gen. Adams pistol were
empty, some suspicion attaches to Ned Far
rish, Gen. Adams friend, and,an investiga-
tion will be held.
Mr. Martin, though only 25 years Of age,
stood at the head of Mississippi journalism.
Gen. Adams was between 65 and 70 years
of age, and was one of Mississippi's most
distinguished men"

rant for the published statement that the
President has determined that if the fish
cries treaty is rejected and the Canadians
once more harass our fishermen, be will
execute the retaliation act, and so shut off
intercourse between the United States and
Canada. The President has made no deter
mina;Ion about it. He will wait till the
necessity arises He still hopes that enough
Republicans will rise out OF their parti-
sanship 10 ratify the treaty. Unless
this hope proves vain he will not consider
what must be done next 1t does not
follow inevitably that the Canadians will
resume their annoying practices. On the
contrary, there is good reason to believe that
whether the treaty is or is not ratified, the
negotiations leading TO it have produced IA
change in the Canadian policy towards our
