AFRAID OF THE CATHOLICS.
Maryland EpiscopaIians Urged to
Wake Up.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 12.-The Right Rev.
William Paret, bishop Of Maryland, de-
livered charge yesterday to the Prot
estant Episcopal clergymen of the do
cese. He said: This city is the CEN
tral point of Roman Catholicism in this
country. Here resides its highest pre-
late. and here it puts forth its greatest
effort. 1t is using political and social
influence to obtain the religious control
of this nation. God forbid that should
blame the Catholics for any honest
effort made by them toward this end.
The issue, however, is greater than
ever before. and they are now concen-
trating all their hopes and plans in this
land. We must meet their advance with
living response, Three-fourths of their
members were born in Europe and nearly
all of the remainder are children of for
eign born parents. The foreign spirit
in the church is remarkably powerful.
Their members become AmericaniZed
very slowly, and are not being assimi-
lated rapidly. Our rights as citizens
and churchmen are menaced by this
power. The laws of naturalization are
abused, and an immigrant often be-
comes voter before be has caught our
tongue. We have been neglectful in
calling the attention OF our parishioners
to the encroachment of the Roman
Catholic church. do not advise you
to preach course OF sermons attacking
their doctrines, but when any move
ment is made by them detrimental to
our social institutions, don't be silent,
but speak out bold and clear on the
subject. Parochial schools should be
increased. so that the school life of the
young i'll our church may not Neglected.
Of course, you know. do not antagon-
ize the public schools"

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 12.-For the
past two days the Republican senators,
led by the lieutenant governor, have
been trying to hatch scheme to have
the absent Democratic senators arrested
and returned to Helena. The Republi-
cans do not care so much about the
failure of the appropriation bills, but
they do want to hold another joint ses-
sion of the Republican house and the
senate and ratify the alleged election of
Sanders and Power as United States
senators. Sanders, who is now on his
way to Washington, has telegraphed to
Lieut.. Gov. Richards to spare no effort
to capture Democratic senator. and
the lieutenant governor telegraphed to-
day to the governor of Oregon to arrest
Senators Becker, Baker. Thorn
ton, Hennessy and Parberry. now
in that state, and hold them
that Lieut.-Gov. Richards has tele-
graphed to like effect to the governors
of Minnesota and Illinois. Unless
Rick ards himself issues a requisitiun
there will be none. as Gov. Toole has
positively refused to aid the Republican
conspirators. Lieut.-Gov. Rickards'
scheme is to get the fugitive senator's
into Montana on any pretense whatever,
and he is calling to his aid the Repub-
iican officials of the various states in
which he thinks the absentees may be.
The people of the state are watching
the chase very closely, and as Sc ven of
the absent senators are men of wealth
and leaders in the different sections
which they represent, the general feel
ing is that they would not have taken
the course they have unless they felt
that the circumstances justified it.

lowing settlers to enter the Sioux reser-

he was advised that there were no

but there were troops at Pierre, and
they did right in refusing to
allow settlers to enter the
reservation until official orders
were received from the war department.
Secretary Proctor said further that he
had been informed by one of the North
western senators that but five men en-
tered at Chamberlain, and that the fuss
the newspapers were making over the
matter was in the nature of boom to

KANE's LAST KICK.
A Canadian Murderer Legally
Strangled.

TORONTO, Ont. Feb. 12.- Thomas
Kane was hanged in the jailyard here
this morning for the murder of his wife
in November last. He met his fate res
olutely. Eight o'clock was the hour
fixed for the execution, but long before
that time scores of persons had gathered
around the jail, some with tickets Of
admission and more without. Business
brought some, science others, and NOR
bid curiosity the rest. The crowd in.
side the enclosure stood around waiting
for the doomed man to appear. 10
was some time after O'Clock, how.
ever, when the procession came ont
of the Jail and marched to the scaffold.
Kane walked firmly. He looked slightly
pale, but had evidently nerved himself
for the final ordeal. The usual prayers
were said, the condemned man Joining
in them. Then the moose was adjusted,
the black cap drawn over the murder
er's head, and while the priests were
still praying devoutly the hangman'S
chisel severed the cord and Kane's body
shot up into the air. There were q few
struggles and all was over. The mur.
der for which Kane suffered the death
penalty was of the most atrocious char
acter. He and his wife had been drink
ing and quarreled. He attacked her.
and, after pummeling her body in q
shocking manner, knocked her brains
out with fat iron. The murderer was

to this city, arriving here yesterday.
He engaged Gen. Roger A. Pryor as
counsel to take steps to inquire into

physician believes him insane is shown
by the following letter written by him:

there is q strong probability of its being the

enced much pain, and has frequently told

state the facts as believe them. Yours very
sincerely, II. HoLBRooK CURTIS.

Terrible Volcanic Eruption in the
Interior of Japan.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. .12-The steamer
Gaelic arrived from Hong Kong and
Yokohama late last night. Japanese
advices give the following details of one
of tile most terrible volcanic eruptions
in the recent history of Japan: Mount
Zoo, near the town Of Fukuyama, in the
Bingo district, commenced to rumble at
8 O'Clock on the evening of Jan. 1e.
This continued two hours, followed bv
short cessation, during which period
the inhabitants of the neighbor-
ing villages rushed away from their
homes i'll great confusion. Soon the ton
of the mountain was lifted off. There
was din equal to dynamite explOs-
ion, and sand and stones were belched
forth, falling in the neIghborhood of
Fukuyama, where smoke and fire were
also blown by the wind. At the en-
trance of the town, the ground was COW
cred with sand and earth to a depth OF
over foot. Stones and earth also fell
at Midsunomimura, village six miles
away. No previous eruption of Mount
Zoo is recorded. Only one man lost his
life, but some stock was killed and
fifty-five houses were destroyed. The
total loss entailed by the eruption is es-
timated at nearly S3.500.OOO.
