An interesting Celebration.

That was indeed a very beautiful
celebration at st. Johns church
this Thursday morning in honor
of the 32d anniversary Of the ordi-
nation of Father Philip Albrecht.
The services were participated in
by the celebrant, Father Albrecht
Father Henry Mensing of Webster,
deacon Father Thos. L. Rabsteinek
of st. Adelbert's church, Wahpeton,
sub-deacon, and Father Alfred
Mayer, o. s. B., of Bismarck, mas.
ter of ceremonies. The services
opened in very interesting season
of mass, the four ministers partici-
pating, till interrupted by the Rev.
Father Mayer in a most learned dis.
course, wherein the speaker called
attention to the important position
and duties of the divine messenger
of God and proceeded to show his
grand mission on earth and the
gratitude the people owed him for
his sacrificial services as compared
with noted and public men of tenn
poral affairs of the world showing
that it was not so much to laud the
beloved brother they had met. as to
pay reverence to the holy mission of
God and his appointed representa-
tives on earth. The reverend
father touched and lighted up many
features on this great question,
often deeply affecting, not only
Father Albrecbt himself but the
whole audience. 1t was indeed a
grand sermon, admirably delivered.
One listening to it would, if never
before, realize the Importance and
great good to be derived from such
a celebration. In fact we think it
was one of the most powerful SER
mons for God and for his laws and
for his ministers we ever heard. At
its beautiful perroration, mass was
resumed, the four ministers partici-
pating in the positions cited above,
presenting a scene perhaps many in
the house had never before seen.
Before the appointed hour the
church was overflowing and many

The WOOlen Industry

With a heavy tax on wool, with
IS per cent. duty on machinery,
with restricted market, and pre-
MUM on shoddy industry is the
weak point in the industrial situa-
tion.
In the first eight months of 1883
there were thirty-five failures of
woolen manufacturers, with liabil.
tiles of 50, 100000, and assets of
$1,355,OO
In the first eight months of 1889
there were forty.six failures with
sc, 100000 liabilities and SIS, 5,173,OO
assets.
This shows serious condition of
affairs. It proves that something is
radically wrong, for these wooden
manufacturers are "enjoying" pro.
lection of 65 per cent, and yet their
capital is steadily disappearing
The natural remedy would be re-
moval of trade restrictions, free
wool, free machinery and wider
market for our products.
But when some of the leading
manufacturers met in Boston the
other day they were threatened with
"free trade" by Columbus Delano
of the Wool Growers Association,
if they even limited at free wool,
and 80 they dentermined to recon.
mend to the annual meeting an in.
crease of duties on flannels, blanket.
and clothing of all kinds, as the
only practical relief.
The people who pay taxes will
probably be heard from when the
proposition comes up in Congress

Onicials Denonncs the So Called Act Of
Piracy by the United states.
TORONTO, Ont, Aug. LA special dis
patch to The Empire from Ottawa says:
The latest account Of piracy by the
United States authorities In BehrinR
sea continues to be much discussed in
official circles. A dispatch has been re-
ceived at the fisheries department from
Mr.. Baker. ii. p, giving additional par
ticulars Of the seizure of the Black Dia-
mOnd.
It appears that the vessel was seized
when seventy miles from land. Mr.
Baker says that strong feeling Of re-
sentiment and indignation has been en-
gendered among the inhabitants of Brit
ish Columbia by this wanton outrage
and that q meeting Of citizens OF Vic
toria is to be held to express their indig-
ration.
This dispatch was under consideration
by the council yesterday. Until the off,
cial report Is before the government no
action can be taken, and the minister OF
customs accordingly telegraphed TO the
collector at Victoria to forward full par
ticulars WITHOUT loss Of time. Collector
Hamly's reply was received by the Hon.
Mr.. Bowell, but It appears that the in
formation which he has to give Is no
fuller than that already published.

WASHINGTON, Aug. THE state de-
partment has not yet received any de.
mand for the release OF the Canadian
vessel Black Diamond, but such de.
mand is expected by some az soon as the
British government learns officially Of
the seizure. No serious trouble with
Great Britain is apprehended by depart
ment officials. however. for the reason
that 1t is TO the interest OF Great Britain
and all other great commercial countries
that the seals should he preserved from
the slaughter Of piraticaI sealing crafts.
The United States, they say, protects
them against our own and foreign
p0achers alike.
Assistant Secretary Batchelier Talks.
Assistant Secretary Batcheller, talk
ing with O reporter. said that the
treasury department had no part IN fhe
political or diplomatic side Of the uues-
ton. They found the law on the
statute books, he said, and it was their
duty to enforce il. Moreover, they had
the proclamation of the president,
which announced that 1t was the pur-
pose Of the administration that il should
be enforced.
81 don't see how there can be much
trouble over it, !" he said, 'sfor no nation
can afford to throw these fisheries opeh
to destruction. The commercial inter-
ests of the world are too seriously IN
v0lved. A great commercial nation
like England could not afford TO have
this destruction go on.
The Protection Benefits the whole World
1.-THE protection we give Is for the good
Of the whole world. The habits OF the
seal are well known. They make three
visits to these islands. On the last visit,
when they are not breeding or with
young, they are taken. We limit the
number that may be taken in any one
year and provide that the female shall
be preserved, only per cent. Of the
catch being allowed to be OF that sex.
At certain times of the year they disap-
pear. No one knows where they go---
perhaps out In the deep water. Again,
they are seen IN the sea, far from shore.
That is where they are killed by these
poachers, and the mothers with young
are the ones that suffer, because they
are the only ones TO be got in any num-
hers. BY killing the females when with
young this way the whole brood would
be destroyed. England cannot afford to
have this done.

HAMBURG, Pa, Aug. IA disastrous
wreck occurred ON the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad one mile south Of this
station. An axle of a loaded coal car
broke, and q terrific smash followed.
Five large thirty ton cars were hurled

cars were piled up on the tracks, which
were covered with coal and debris. The
down express train was blockaded, and
. train was sent out from Reading tn its
relief. The passengers were transferred.
The wrecking crews from Reading and
Cressona were six hours in clearing the
