after his mother returned home he let the

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 15,-The Missouri
river improvement convention began its
work at the Coates house this morning,
200 delegates being In attendance. Hon.

kota, Montana, Colorado, Arkansas, Hi
nois. Mississippi and Louisiana are repre-
sented by state delegations. Governor

mated that the improvement OF the Mis-
souri, river will make a considerable re-
duction in freight rates in the west. The

leans could be reduced 4.15 cents per
bushel, at least. making the rate from
Kansas City to New Orleans 375 cents per
busheI cheaper on wheat and 1913 cents
obeaper per bushel on corn than the rate

POPE LEO.

ROME, Dec. 15.-The pope, in his allocu-
tion at yesterdays consistory, said that
the enemies of the church ruthlessly en-
compassed it on every side. Not content
with displaying their hatred in words, they
proceeded 10 acts of violence against peace
full foreigners who had come to Rome ac-
tuated by filial piety and free from politi-
cal aims. These enemies, who had not
hesitated to resort TO riot, insults aud
threats, now sought to deal the papacy a
death blow. Other secret foes, who pa
raded their moderation, really aimed at
the same object.
The liberty of the pontiff to communi-
cate with the outer world was becoming
more and more curtsiled, and the situa-
tion was daily becoming more difficult.
By waging war on the papacy, the pope
said Its enemies hoped to weaken and pro-
scribe the name of Christian. The pope
trusted that the heads of states would give
earnest consideration to the position of the
church. 1t behooved all Catholics acting
in union with him, to form perpetual
league agrinst the assaults of the impious.

It not the boon vouchsafed to the chronic,

EMIN PASHA.

PARIS. Dec. 15.-Private dispatches have
been received in This city from Africa,
which state that Emin Pesha has had sew
eral bloody conflicts ia the lake district,
and that his position is precarious. The
advices, however, do not agree with those
from other sources regarding the move
ments of Emin. On Dec. the Berliner
Tageblatt published extracts from pri-
vate letter, dated from Victoria NyanZa,
Sept ,, which stated that Emin Pasha
and DR.. Stuhlmann had at that time al
ready been three months in the Albert
Nysnza district. Emin Pasha, II was said,
had been received with the greatest en-
thusiasm by the troops who had served
under HIM when he was governor of the
equatorial province. It was said that
when the news of Emin Pasha's move
ments reached Uganda, Captain Lugard,
a British officer, with l,000 troops, started
to oppose his further movements. 1t may
be that this force has come in contact
with Emin's soldiers, aud that il is to
these engagements that the dispatches

Least Lave not been regarded as the best

RuSso-Turkish war, resulting, as 1T did,
in the liberation OF the Siavs, rendered an
an alliance between the two powers pos
