rRHARDT's REsIGNATIoNs
And the Effect 1t Will Have--Harrison Il
Dead In New York.


New YORK, July 3O.-"Save New
York If you CAM was the purport of
the challenge yesterday thrown down
before President Harrison by Joel B.
Erhardt, his Collector of the Port in
this city. Erhardt, in other words, per-
emptorily and vindictively resigned his
great political office. s
That this Office has for years been ?
garded as tho most inAdehtlBi appOinti5e
one in the gift of the government, out
side of the Cabinet. is borne out by the
history of the political wrecks which
jealousy over its bestowal has caused.
The greatest contests in which Sena-
tor Roscoe Conkling was ever engaged
within his own party were waged almost
solely on account Of his inability to die
tate the control OF this single Office, and
his final resignation and retirement
were directly due to what he deemed
treachery in the removal Of the Collect
orship from his control and influence.
Without word of official warning or
COnltItuCts anu 81 bAdb ONOh
Private Secretary Halford at Cape May
with the President knew nothing about
the breaking storm late this afternoon,
Erhardt's resignation reached President
Harrison.
The President must have surmised
that there was trouble ahead in the Col
lectorship, however, He was certainly
ready for it. Word came from the Sea-
side White House just before midnight
that the President had not only received
and accepted Collector Erhardt's resig-
nation to take effect on August (Sat-
dury Of this week., but had appointed
State Senator J, Sloat Fassett, Of Elmi-
ra, n. Y, to be Collector after that date.
"That means" said a prominent Re-
publican in this city, when he heard the
interesting news from Cape May, "that
the President has accepted Collector
Erhardt's challenge and proposes to'save

REFORMS OF VATICAN.
The Holy See Has Appointed a Com
mission of Cardinals
TO ENFORCE THE QUESTIONS
OF Economy in the Administration Of the Finances
Of the Church-fhs Colonization Schema
Strike Of Horse Car Employees at Ton
loQss-Forsign News Notes

ROME, July 30.-The Holy See has
just appointed an extraordinary COM
mission of Cardinals to reorgsnize the
Catholic missions. Two years ago Car
dinal Simeoni prepared and communi-
Gated to the Pope plan OF reforms, in
order to better regulate the action OF
the propaganda. But the coming OF
General Simmons from England on
special mission to Pope Leo In reference
to colonial questions had the effect OF
postponing reforms, as the propaganda
did not wish TO awaken the idea that
the reforms were made In consequence
OF an arrangement with England. Any
suspicion Of such an arrangement would
have reused the greatest Jealousy in
France. Leo, who has always been In
favor Of the missions, taking a leading
part in the work OF colonization, has
revived these projects OF reform. The
inquiry OF the commission OF Cardinals
will, IL is said, extend over the whole OF
the apostolic works.
The Vatican does not intend 20 let the
question OF social reform drop now that
the Pope's encyclical letter has been
published. 1t is stated that inquiries
are still being made and instructions
sent TO the prelatcs OF all countries 10 en-
courage Catholics TO do their utmost to-
ward ameliorating the condition OF the
poor and affect social reforms urged In
the encyclical.
Herr Scholoezer. the Prussan Minis
ter to the Vatican will soon leave Rome
for his ordinary vacation. His reeent
negotiations with the Holy See have had
little success. The Vatican is greatly
dissatisfied with the tardinoss with
which Prussia is inclined TO treat
the most urgent ecclesiastical affairs.
The recent economic crisis at Rome has
almost ruined many Of the great anc-
lent families, such as the Borghese,
Sciarra and Barberini.
The Borghese family appears to have
been the greatest sufferers. Paul Bor-
ghese, its present head, is said TO have
ordered the most rigorous economy In
the management OF his properties In or
der 10 get over the great losses recently
sustained. lie has distributed the work
OF art which composed the celebrated
Borghese gallery among his nine broth
ers, so as TO enable them to lease tho
apartments given up to the art collec-
tions to bank. One hears expressions
OF regret on all sides at this action. IL
Is feared that the example may IND I'M
itation on the part Of the other great
families, and that there may thus be
general breaking up Of the fine private
art collections at Rome.

HARRISBURG, PA, July 50.-The de-
