The following excerpts are FROM a
letter written by Archbishop ireland
an6 read Sunday in the churches OF the
archdiocese Of st. Paul and vicsriate OF
Northern Min nesota:
Beloved Brethren: The president ct
the United States by solemn proclama~
tlon invites the citizens of the republic
to assemble, for prayer and thanksgiv
ing, IN their several places If worship,
at the hour OF s in the forenoon of the
30th day of the current month Of April,
the one hundredth anniversary Of the
establishment of constitutional govern
ment in this country. A. memorable
event is to bs ccmmemorated in man
ner be6tting patriotic and Christian
people. Our governments govern
ment OF the people, by the people and
for the people-will on chat day close
the first century of its life. We joy-
fully respond to the invitation Of the
chief magistrate. We are sure priest
hood and laity unite with Us, and give
also, to It's ready hardening. We, there
fore, prescribe that on this centennial
day. at the hour of 9, in all the churches
Of the archdiocese Of st. Paul and Of
the vicariate OF the Northern Mime
sofa mass be celebrated with becoming
solemnity, sermon be preached in
keeping with the spirit of the occasion,
and the l1turgical services concluded,
the Te Deum be chanted. We earnestly
supplicate the Catholic lalty to throng
the churches on this day in fullest ac-
cord with the best inspirations OF pat
riotlsm and religion.
We thank heaven for the procla1na-
tion of the chief magistrate. It is the
nations profession, amid the glories
and the prosperity of its Tooth year Of
life, in the all-ruling providence of the
mighty God who is the creator and
master of all men ana the Lord Of all
nations; 1t is the nations official ac-
Acknowledgement Of its dependency upon
the supreme power. its official prayer to
the throne of grace for continuous
fayors and blessings. This nation from
| it's birth has been in heart deeply relig-
ious, and upon this fact we rest our
highest hopes for its welfare and its
growth. George Washington, the vic
torious soldier and the wise statesman,
taught his countrymen the lesson of re-
ligion. The republic in her whole his
tory was mindful of her duties to Al
mighty God. In trials and adverslties
she kept her viglls of prayer and fast
ing; when victory crowned her banners
she offered praise and Thanksgiving;
her great assemblies are always opened
with prayer; she has her yearly feasts
of religious gratitude and rejoicing. A
God fearing nation is safe; the shield
of divine strength covers it. 1t is well,
indeed, for the people of America that
their great national celebrations gather
/ them around the affairs Of God, where

ALLEN THORNDhKE RICE.
The Editor of the s.NOrth American
Review, Dead.

New York, May 16.-Allen Thorn
dixie Rice, editor of the ''North American
Review, and the new Minister to Russia,
died here this morning. He was to have
sailed for his post esterday.
He was suffering from sore throat on
Monday, and his physician forbade him
to start until he was better. The disease
rapidly developed into malignant tonso-
|litis, resulting in death as stated. No
serious result had been anticipated up to
last night. The attending physician says
the CLOTHS swelled suddenly and shut off
his breath. His death occurred at A. NJ
ALLEN Thorndike Rice, known chiefly
as editor and proprietor of the "North
American Review" and also somewhat
prominent as a Republican politician,
was native of Boston, having been born
there on June Is, 1858. His education
was begun in the schools Of his native
city, carried on in Europe, where he
spent five years, and finally completed at
Oxford University, England, where
he graduated B. A. in 1875. He was en-
tered, on his return to this country, as q
student at Columbia Law School, but he
left his legal studies to devote himself to
literature, having, in 1876, bought the
North American Review" of which he
has been editor ever since. He was not
much more than a dilettanti literary
man, however, being simply wealthy
young man who could afford to have a
periodical for play thing. In politics he
took considerable part, running for Con-
gress in 1886 without success, having
been opposed by the local political lead
ers who, however, for the course they
then took were afterwards expelled from
the Republican party. He was the first
to recommend what is called the "Aus-
tralian system" of voting. In 1879 he
organized, and afterwards took a prom
inent part in directing, the Charnay ex-
petition, which was sent under the joint
auspices OF the United States and France,
to investigate the remains of prehistoric
civilization in Central America and Mex
leo. He was appointed Minister to Rus
STA, last March, by the President

The Fight for the Control of the
Stock Thickening.

New York, May 16.-The fight be-
tween the Dillon, Smith and Willard
parties for the control of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company con-
tinues very fierce. The transfer books
of the company close tomorrow and
both parties were actively engaged in
borrowing and buying. In the Stock
Exchange dealings in it have absorbed
all the interest. The greatest demand
was for stock for delivery to-day, SO be-
ing bid for such shares, while the stock
delivered tomorrow was freely sold al
35. In the loan crowd, too, the stock
was the main attraction, and per cent
or s1.00 for every 100 shares wassbid fol
its use until tomorrow.
Neither side expressed much conf.
dence in the result, but the heavy buy.
ing was apparently on Wizards orders
while the opposition depended on Legal
orders for their weapons. They are fol.
lowing up the Injunction obtained on
Monday by another which Judge Barrett
issued late last night, which enjoins Vii.
Company from disposing of Oregon Vavi
CATION stock for any purpose whatever.
Judge Barrett to-day heard argument
upon the application of Elijah Smith and
Edward r. Bell to continue the injunction
against the Oregon and Transcontinental
Company and others from issuing
$4,000, 900 additional stock, from guar.
anteeing dividends and pledging in any
way $12, 1000, 900 of Oregon Railway and
Navigation stock held by the defendan,
company. Counsel for defendants read
the answer of Henry Willard and an affida'
Wit of his own Opposition counsel then
asked for adjournment until P. NJ
tomorrow. Agreed to.
Wizards affidavit stated that he was
president Of the Oregon and Transconti
mental Company, and expected to be re-
elected. He had sent for circulars asking
for proxies, to be used at the annua
meeting in Portland, June 18th, and set.
ting forth plan for the payment of the
floating Indebtedness by the issue Of
$4,000, 900 preferred stock, with 6 pei
cent. dividend, guaranteed by pledge oil
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company stock, held by the company
Under the laws of Oregon, he said, the
issue could be made by majority vote
OF the stockholders. This he thought the
most economical way of raising the
money. Nothing had been done but
what was necessary and proper.

The Future Policy of the Road
Outlined.

BosToN, May 16..-.K idder, Peabody &
Company, say: "The future policy of
the new management of the Atchison
Road has not yet finally been decided,
but there will be at the start only this
general policy: First, to operate the sys-
tenn economically and for the Creates
good of all the interests; second, to give
the security holders the fullest possible
infor mation; third, to make all advances
that may be necessary for the company's
wants as long as the earnings shall give
promise OF being good.
''Interest due in. June amounts to
$660,41O, and in July to $1,881 900.
There may be other payments in July to
swell this amount somewhat. The cur
rent income will contribute toward these
dues, and there is reason to think that
further advances may be made against
the balance of uDsold guarantee notes"

DISASTROUS FIRE.
A Wooden Suburb of Quebec
Entirely Wiped Out.
THE FLAMES BEYOND CONTROL
A Major and Sergeant of the Garri
son Killed by an Explosion.
Insurance Small.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD


QUEBEC, May 16.-A disastrous fire
broke out early this morning in st. Sau-
veur. The flames spread with great ra-
pidity through the wooden district.
Houses in Waller, Chenel, St. Peter and
st. Marc streets were burned. Help was
asked from this city, and engines from
Quebec were quickly sent, but, owing to
lack of water, their efforts were crippled.
Battery B was finally called out, and
rendered valuable assistance in fighting
the flames. At z o'clock the fire had
about burned itself out, having destroyed
over 100 buildings. While the military
were preparing to blow up houses to
check the flames, premature explosion
took place, killing Major Short and Ser
geant Wallick, of Battery B. They were
buried in the ruins, and at O'Clock their
bodies had not been removed. The loss
is $3.50 900.
1880 A. M.-The body of Sergeant
Wallick has been recovered, horribly
mangled. The fire has been checked on
the city side, but is burning furiously
toward the northwest and will probably
stop only when nothing is left to feed it,
The insurance is comparatively small.
The large number OF houses destroyed
were small wooden structures. A strong
easterly wind is blowing and rain has
been falling steadily for three hours.
1P. M.-The fire is still burning. No
hopes are entertained of stopping it until
the open country is reached. Already
500 buildings, mostly wooden tenements
have been burned. Over 1000 people
are rendered homeless. The greater
portion are camped in the fields with
what few effects they were able to save,
while few found shelter with friends in
the city. Major Shorts body was recov-
cred at noon. One leg and one arm,
which had been torn from the body by
the explosion, were found some distance
from the trunk.
st. Sauveur, separate municipality
from Quebec, but separated from the
city by only the width of a street, has
population of Is 900. Only last night St.
Sauveur officials refused an offer of this
city to supply them with water.
The fire burned itself out about
O'Clock, after reaching the limits of the
st. Sauveur. The district north and west
OF Nassau and st. Am broise streets has
been swept clean, with the exception of
a portion of Waller street. About 700
houses have been burned. As many of
them were tenements, the number of
families homeless is not less than 200,
comprising 5000 or 6 ZOO persons.
Prominent men are interesting them
selves on behalf of the homeless people.
Application has been made to Sir A. P.
Caron for the use of the drill shed and
other government buildings to shelter
those who are yet camped out in the
fields. The clergy are distributing food,
and steps are being taken to organize a
regular system of relief The majority
of the people who are burned out are of
the laboring classes.

Underwriters was held this morning. A

thrown the business of insurance into
chaos. 1t was impossible to do business
there and he favored Withdrawing en-

A Fierce RIaze.

At about 80 this morning an alarm
was turned in from box Al corner of San
Pedro and Fifth streets. A leaping
blaze, however, which by this time
lighted the sky, showed that the fire was
at the corner of Center and Third streets.
There is lack of water at this point,
and in less than half an hour three frame
buildings were consumed. The larger,
building of considerable size was
known as Harris Lodging House and,
fortunately, contained but two or three
occupants. The two small frame houses
adjacent to the lodging house which were
burned were occupied, respectively, by
Geo. Gaylord and J. M. Hallam, both
firemen on the Santa Fe railroad.
They were away on duty and their
wives escaped the flames and
succeeded with the help of willing by
ISLANDERS in saving most of the household
effects. Nothing in the lodging house was
saved. Mr.. Harris is absent on his
rancho, and nothing could be learned as
to his insurance. The two small houses
were owned by one Butler. The cause of
the fire is unknown.

cslly speaking, delivers himself of the
following somewhat long.tailed mouse:

There are two sides to the Puget Sound
valuation. From private letter from a
reputable gentleman now there. in the
possession of the HERALD, the following
extract is taken:
Real estate is no good here. Lots
six miles from town, size 25x100, on hills
and in gulches and covered with logs
and brush, sell for 5000 each. The coun-
try here is doomed higher than Los An
gele5 ever was."
Mr.. Mason is evidently attempting to
further boom Puget Sound by Yilifying
Southern California. 1t is an old but
sorry game.
