Priests Who are Trained to do Mission
airy Work in this Country.
New YORK, November 23d-It is an
nounced that Mgr Zalabrine, Bishop of
Piacenza, in Italy, has been appointed by
the Pope Vicar Apostolic for the Italians
of the United States. Reports reached
Rome some time ago to the effect that the
spiritual interests of the Italians in Amer
lea were being neglected, and that some
had died without the rites of the Roman
Catholic Church, and had not received
Christian burial.
A missionary was sent out to investigate
the matter and Pope Leo urged the Amer
lean Bishops to ameliorate, as far as pos
sble, the condition of the poor Italians,
at the same Tins college was established
at Piacenza, and in it were trained certain
priests, who had volunteered to 60 to
America as missionaries.
This was Pope Leo's plan, but he let il
be understood that he would not insist on
carrying it through, and would give full
support TO any other plan which the
American prelates might propose.
The authorities at Rome decided to form
the missionaries into community, at the
head of which should be the Bishop OF
Piacenza, with the title of Vicar Apostolic
for Italians in the United States of Amer
ica." He is expected here next spring
and when his mission is accomplished, il
is considered very likely that he will be
raised to the Cardinalate.

DOUBLE LEGISLATURE.
The Montana Assembly Organized in Two
Bodies.

HELENA (Mont.), November 23d.TThe
lower house of the Legislature organized
o-day in two branches, the Republicans
meeting in the nall on Main street and the
Democrats in the Courthouse. The Re-
publicans had thirty members, two more
than a quorum. and was called to
order by State Auditor Kenney and sworn
in by Justice Blake.
The organization was perfected by the
election of A. G. Witter of Beavershed
county as Speaker. A full list of subor-
dinate officers were elected. A recess was
then taken until o'clock.
The Democratic members of the House
met at the Court house and effected an Or
ganization. Blakely of Galiatin county
was elected Speaker, and the members
were sworn in by Notary Public. The
doors were closed and guarded by Demo-
Gratis, and no one was admitted except
those holding certificates of election from
County Clerks. The House has taken a
recess.
The Senate met at the Court house. The
Democratic members absented themselves
and there was no quorum. Lieutenant
Governor Richards called the Senate to
order and the roll was called. Eight Re-
publicans were present and were sworn in
by Judge Hunt. They adjourned until
MONDAY morning.
THE REPUBLICANS EXPLAIN.
HELENA, November 23d.-In the caucus
of the Republican Senators and Represent
atives this evening the action of the Re-
publican House members in organization
separately was explained. 1t was stated
the Republican action was based upon the
proclamation of Governor Toole that none
would be recognized as having rights as
members except those holding certificates
of election from County Clerks. 1t is
stated further that the new Constitution in
force since October LIST expressly provides
that all returns should be canvassed by the
same Board created by the enabling Act to
canvass the returns on the Constitution.
The Republicans stand unanimously on
the proposition that only such as are found
to be members by the State canvassers are
entitled to seats, and all power 10 deter
mine further rights resides wholly in the
separate Houses and at no time in the
Governor without notice
The Governor ordered the members to
meet in certain place, and that until the
last moment before the hour appointed the
doors were locked and guarded with no
prospect but that such places would con-
tinue under the Governors personal con-
troll.
Rather than submit to such supervisors
and restrictions, the Republicans with the
officer designated by law to call the House
to order proceeded to organize elsewhere.

GERoNIMo's BAND.
This Handful of Apaches Gives Secretary
Proctor Much Trouble.

WASHINGTON, November 23d.-Secretary
Proctor is endeavoring to make arrange
ments to leave during the Christmas holt
days with General Crook and Captain
Pratt His purpose is the making of g
personal visit of inspection to Mt. Vernon
barracks, Alabama, where Geronimo and
his band of Apache Indians are impris,
oned.
An effort was made earlier in the year to
secure the removal of these Indians to a
tract of land in North Carolina, but Gov
ernor Towle objected. and Secretary Proc
tor declined to order their removal, espec-
tally as evidence had been given him from
prominent medical authorities that ii
would be dangerous to send the Indians to
mole northern point in view of the fact
that they are exceedingly susceptible to
pulmonary disease.
Since then there has been other ideas ad-
vanced on the subject from other medical
authorities, and the Secretary has been in
formed by the surgeon of the barracks that
the tribe has been unusually sickly this
year He received letter yesterday from
Captain Pratt which argued strongly
against the removal of the Indians to a
higher latitude or altitude.

a o'clock Came" SwindIer Beaten at His
Own Game.
Los ANGELES November 23d.-A very
clever scheme at beating sure-thlng game
was brought to light here to-day. Two
years ago the clock game was extensively
worked, and among those who bucked it
was a real estate dealer named Robinson.
After many losses in small sums Robinson
hit upon plan for beating the game. EN-
ployed to attend the clock and put in the
tickets was a Mexican named Merritt Rob
inson arranged with Merritt to arrange the
numbers in the clock for a dummy"
locked in the room by Robinson, to play
against
The dummy went into the room, aud,
watching the game closely for half an hour,
rushed up and laid 500 in coin, and by the
time the contract was written drew out
$3.50. The proprietor, watching this pro-
eeeding, thought all was not right, but
could do nothing.
About ten days later the dummy came in
again, laying $780, drew out s., 900. The
proprietor then felt sure he was being beat
at his own game, and discharged Merritt.
The latter received 500 as his share of the
swag, but was not satisfied with this, and
demanded more finally receiving SIS, after
which he left town. The other party is
here, and recently boosted of how he had
beaten the clock game out of $1,000.

EATEN BY SHARKS.
Horrible Death of the Aeronaut Van
Tassen. at Honolulu.


TasseIl. at Honolulu.
SAN Francisco, November 23d.-Pro-
lesser Van Tassell, the aeronaut, whose
friends on the Pacific slope are numbered
by thousands, met with horrible death
in Honolulu on the 10th instant. He made
an ascension on that day, and on coming
down in his parachute he fell into the
water and was never again seen.
The occasion was the kings birthday.
There was a grand celebration, and the
festivities were to conclude with an ascen-
sion and parachute leap. Shortly before
3 O'Clock Van Tassell entered his balloon
alone after all the necessary preparations
were made. The conditions were favorable
for his landing on land, and when the
balloon shot upward he shouted to his
brother tina. he would not land more than
half mile from the starting point.
The balloon assembled steadily to hight
of l 900 feet when it was caught by breeze
blowing seaward and carried over the
water. The aeronaut evidently saw that be
must inevitably fall in the water. and
those who were watching him with glasses
saw that he was hurriedly making prepa-
rations for q descent.
Suddenly the parachute was let loose and
the bag of gas shot up into the air. The
parachute opened nicely and the man
gracefully descended into the water about
two miles of shore. This is the last that
has been seen of him.
The steamer Zealandia was at the time
entering the harbor, and Van Tsssell
alighted in the water about a mile of.
Two boats were Immediately lowered, and
the men were soon at the spot where the
man was last seen.
They could find no trace of him. The
parachute had sunk into the water from
the weight of its iron frame, and three or
four monster white sharks were seen near
by swimming around. They followed the
boats back 10 the steamer, though the
search was continued afterwards for several
hours
There seems no doubt that the sharks
made away with him. Van Tasseli was a
daring swimmer, and under ordinary cir
cumstances could not have drowned before
the boats reached him. The hunt for him
or his body has been continued every day
since the accident, but without avail. His
brother, who was in Honolulu when he
made the ascension, says that there is no
doubt that he is gone, which opinion is
fully concurred in by all who know what
a dangerous place the waters about Homo
lulu are to swimmers.

eral Howard, of the United States army, at
a meeting of the Military Service Institute
held this afternoon, in Military Hall on
Governors Island, read a paper on the
Military and Naval Pensions of the United
States
The General, after reviewing the history
of pensions, advised the appointment OF
special committee to revise all pension leg

favor of general service pension. He
considered it right to begin the payment OF
such pensions ia 1915, which would be 30
years after the close of the war.
General Horatio King said it was time
for public sentiment to be aroused to
strengthen the weak knees of our Republic
cans in Congress and stop the annual raid
made on the United States Treasury.

Over Ten Months.

Over Ten Months.
MINNEAPOLIS, November 23d.-A singu-
| lar case, something after the Enoeh Arden
order, came to light on yesterday in Min
| neapolis. After mysterious absence of
ten months, George Knowlton, married
man, whose relatives and friends have
supposed him dead, turns up to find that
his wife had grown tired of what she sup
posed was widowhood and married again,
and with husband No. 2 had gone to Chi
cago to live.

cash and went to LIE Sueur to buy stock. He
suddenly and mysteriously disappeared
from the hotel at LIE Sueur where he was
stopping, leaving an overcoat. Mrs.
Knowlton went TO lie Sueur and made a
thorough investigation. She finally gave
up the search and made up her mind that
he was dead.
For several months she was courted by
young mechanic, and week or so ago
they were welded. People about the mar
ket were treated to genuine surprise when
the long-absent Knowlton walked into the
market-house to-day.

ALBANY On. ", November 23d.-Gov-
elnor Hill to-day decided the case OF Jim
my Hope, the famous bank burglar. In

requisition, and upon his release from
prison was Immediately arrested under q
requisition from Delaware.
Governor Hill has filed an elaborate de-
cision. holding that Hope is entitled to
reasonable time to return to California after
his release here, and hence the arrest is
premature.

regard to which there has heretofore been
many conflicting decisions.

ZANZIBAR, November 23d.-There is no
doubt in my mind that Stanley will arrive
at Mpwapwa on December 1st. There is
at the present moment great deal of fric-
ton between us Englishmen and the Ger
man element, and we must say that the
Germans have not treated us with that
frankness that we desired. / leave to-mor-
row morning, and l believe | shall be the
only newspaper man who will be present
at the meeting between Captain Wissmann.
Stanley and Emin Pasha. L feel almost
certain that l shall be able to cable two
weeks from to-day a clear account of the
meeting.
LONDON, November 23d.-To-day's ST.
james Gazette says: The interesting letter
from the correspondent of the New York
Herald at Zanzibar places the safety OF
Emin beyond doubt. The two heroes. with
their associates, will arrive in Europe in a
few weeks. Seldom has the arrival of any
traveller given back to life again by grave
like the wilderness of the Dark Continent
been awaited with more eager expectation.
1t is almost as If Gordon himself had
escaped from the besiegers of Khartoum,
and had brought away those helpless men
whom he would have regarded il as an in
delible disgrace to desert. Perhaps if we
had sent Stanley to rescue Gordon, instead
of Lord Wolseley and his whale-boats, the
story of the hero of Khartoum might have
been different"
The London papers wonder who the
Young lady described as Eain Pasha's
daughter is, and how it happens that the
world never heard of her before.
