san Francisco, Dec. 15.-The strike of
telegraph operators on the Pacific division
of the Southern Pacific company began at
Z o'clock this morning, but it is not yet
known how many men are actually out.
The Southern Pacific claims but a small
per centage of the number on their system
are members of the Telegraphers' Brother
hood, and that they will have operators
enough TO handle their business on the At
lautic & Pacific. 1t is definitely known
a large number of men are out, and that
the situation there is more serious. The
strike is based on the claim of the opera
tors that the Southern Pacific should not
compel them to sign an affidavit that they
are not or will not become members of the

China Refuses to Take Part in the Fair.

CHICAGO, Dec. ia Washin gton special
says: The Chinese empire has officially
notified the stute department it will take
no part in the Worlds fair. This ultimat-
um was delivered to the state departments
through Minister DENLY Saturday.
Hitchcock, representing the exposition,
has been working hard to persuade the
empire to take part in the fair. At final
conference recently held between the COM
missioners and Chinese authorities, the
Emperor made known his position. The
Emperor's grounds for declining to send
an exhibit are that the United States have
Disseminated against the citizens of that
empire and that the Chinese could not come
to the exposition without being
put in humiliating attitude,
needing special passport, to be granted by
special act of Congress. No objection is
raised to Chinese merchants already in the
United States participating in the exposi-
ton, but China as a country refuses to take
any part whatever in the affair.

enemies of the Romish church ruthlessly
encompassed it on every side. Not COZ
tent with displaying hatred in words, they
proceeded to acts of violence against peace
full foreigners who come to Rome actuated
by flial piety and free from political aims.
The liberty of the pontiff TO communicate
with the outer world was becoming more
and more curtailed, and the situation was
daily becoming more difficult, BY waging
war on the papacy, the Pope said, its
enemies hoped TO weaken and prescribe
the name of Christianity. The Pope hoped
the heads of states would give earnest con-
sideration to the position of the church.
They would then understand it was to
their interest to uphold the authority OF
the church as the greatest moral power in
the world. 1t behooved all Catholics, act
ing in unison with him, to form a per-
petual league against the assaults of the
impiOus.
