TOASTS THE POPE.
Cardinal Gibbons EulOgizes Leo XIII
at the Kendrick Jubilee
Banquet.
He Quotes from His Encyclicals and
Shows Him Worthy Of
VeneratiOn.
Nowhere is he More Highly HOnOred
than in the United
States.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 30.-At the banuue
which closed the festivities of today's jubi-
lee Archbishop Kendrick sat at the head
of the table, Cardinal Gibbons on his
right, and Archbishop Elder on his left.
After the menu was finished, Vicar Gen.
eral brady read an address from the clergy
of the diocese to Kendrick, who made
short response. Rev. Collier deliv-
cred an address of welcome to the cardinal
and visiting clergy. Cardinal Gibbons,
responding to the toast Our Holy Father
Leo XIII, said: His name will live In
history as the peer of his great namesake,
Leo first, and Of the Gregorys and Innocent
who have reflected so much glory on the
church of God. He has proved himself
not only man of God but of the people,
In one of his first encyclicals he
invites divinity students and Christian
priests to ascend like Moses the mount of
God, there to commune with their maker
and study the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven. But he does not allow min
listers to remain there, bidding them de.
scend, like Moses, and go among the PEG.
pie, bearing in their hands the tables
of the law; he expects them
to be in touch with the
people, to cooperate with them in their
legitimate aspirations; to enlighten, in
struct and sanctify them, and to be the
great moral leaven that will purify the
mass Of humanity. He reminds US that
our highest and noblest mission on earth
is to promote the moral and social well be-
ing of the people. He proclaims that the
Catholic religion is adarted to
all times and places and finds her
self at home under every government.
Where is tue benign authority of the pom
tiff more respected and honored than in
the United States? Our devotion to him
is not less strong because less noisy in its
demonstrations. In honoring the pope VIC
should not be accused of man-worship.
We worship God but we honor Leo be-
cause he is worthy of all veneration.
''ln his encyclical On Christian merit be
proclaims truth which has special signi-
feance and ought to be needed by the
American people. 1t is this: f our
Christian civilization is to be
we'd and perpetuated the
Christian marriage must be recognized by
the masses. In his encyclical on labor he
proclaims the right and dignity of labor
and the laboring man, telling us that
Christ by bis teaching and example mas
ances the pope proves that he is abreast of
the times and in sympathy with the leg it
innate aspirations of humanity"
The cardinal closed with express thanks
to the pope for the message sent in remem-
brance OF the jubilee and with brilliant
eulogy OF Archbishop Kendrick, after
which he presented the latter with the
pope's gift-a portrait of his holiness, in
a handsome gold frame. A number Of
other toasts were responded to by eminent
priests

Report that Twenty Men are Still
Buried Under the Tacoma
Land Slide.
Two Companions Confederate the
Tale with Their Sworn
Statements.
The Company, However, Declares it a
FalsehOOd With a
Purpose.

TACOMA. Wash. Nov. 3O.-A terrible
story has come to light in connection
with the recent landslide on the North
ern Pacific railroad at Canton station in
the Cascade mountains. Between
twenty and thirty men are said to be
buried beneath the great mass of earth
and rock which fell at the place We'd
nesday last, and, according to sworn
statements made by workingmen who
were at the scene of the disaster, the
bodies of the unfortunate men have
been left beneath the earth where they
were buried alive.
The story as told under oath by one
of two men who were employed by the
railroad company at Canton shows that
the disaster was a most frightful one,
that the truth has not been half told,
and that this is the greatest catastrophe
that ever occurred in the State. Since
the day of the accident many rumors
have been in circulation about the num-
be- of men missing. During the severe
storms about two weeks ago the tracks
We're undermined for more than mile,
and it was this that sixty workmen
Were repairing, being strung along the
track for an eighth of mile.
Among this gang of men were Thomas
Murphy, Benjamin F'lattery and Alex
Gilchrist, who abandoned the job yes
terday and returned to their families
here last night. Murphy has made an
affidavit that twenty-five men are still
buried under the earth and rocks in
the bed of the river where the over
stantially as follows:
There were siXty-twO men working
directly in front of the bank. 1t gave
way. They had no way of escaping
Some turned to run along the track.
Others jumped down the slope of the
roadbed and tried to reach the river. but
the slide came with such force and
rapidity that it swept track, men and
tools away and buried them as it came
down the slope and into the river.
Search was made by the surviving
laborers for the missing aud they [ound
that twenty are still buried beneath its
debris.
Gilchrist and Flattery corroborate
the sworn statement of Murphy. All
say the railway company refuses to ex-
cavate the buried men. On the other
hand Northern Pacific officials and sur
geons, who visited the scene Of the
avalanche few hours after it hap
pened, emphatically deny Murphy's
story and say he has some object in
making it.

The Ely pIoration of This Sea by the Rus
sian Governments Success.

sian Government Success.
The expedition which the Russian gov
eminent fitted out early in the summer to
explore the Black sea was very successful
in its labors. 1t has achieved results
which may be of the greatest Importance
to the nautical and geological science.
The whole expedition was divided into
three distinct departments, the meteorlog-
ic and physical, the chemical and the
biological. The first was to make obser-
vations on the changes in the air, in so
far as they affected the surface of the
Black sea, in relation to the quality of the
waters in various parts. The chemical
department was to examine the constitu-
ent elements of the waters, and the bio
logical department was to Investigate the
nature of the living beings in the various
parts of the sea. All such observations
have been made at the meteorological
stations on the dry land. The object of
the expedition was to make them on board
of the vessel at the spot which appeared
the most interesting to the scientists, SO
that time and distance should as little as
possible affect the objects of examination.
The full report of the work of the expedi-
ton was submitted to the Imperial Geo.
graphical Society of st. Petersburg and
will be published soon after it is read and
approved by the society.
From the preliminary reports of the
heads of the expedition it appears that of
great Importance to geology will be the
discovery made as to the constituent ele-
ments Of the water of the Black sea. 1t
was found that from the depth of 100
sazhens (about 1875 fathoms) to the bottom
of the sea the waters in all parts are
strongly saturated with hydro-sulph
acid, and that consequently no animal life
can exist at that depth. This discovery
disproyes the hitherto accepted hypothesis
that the Black sea was originally sweet
water lake and that it became salt watered
and impregnated with hydro-sulphuric
acid since the Bosphorus began flowing
into it. The waters of the Bosphorus,
according to the investigations of the ex-
petition, could not affect the sea to such
an enormous extent.
The Black sea is deeper in the eastern
than in the western part. The deepest
places are between the coasts of Asia
Minor and the Crimea. In enc place the
explorers have found depth of 1,240
sazhens. Samples of the water at various
depths and of different localities, as well
as samples of the soil at the bottom of the
sea, and archaeological specimens were
brought to ST. Petersburg and submitted
to the society,-N. Y. Sun

Promises to Reduce land and Sea
Forces Not Being
Kept.
On the Contrary Representatives are
Abroad Studying European
Tactics.
The United States Still Continues to
Push Work on Naval
Vessels.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3o.-A special dis
patch from Washington says American
government officials look with suspi.
cion upon the professed intention of the
new government of Chile to materially
reduce its land and sea forces Presi-
dent Months statement that the army
and navy would be cut down numeri-
cally is taken here with grain of salt.
This is due to advices from naval of
ficers in Chile, coupled with informa-
ton from Europe. How and from
whom this knowledge has come to our
authorities it is not advisable to state.
There is great deal of inconsistency
between what the Chileans say they in
tend to do and what according to our
naval authorities they are doing.
Representatives of the new Chilean
government are now in Germany MAX
ing special study of the latest war
equipments and tactics in the German
army. There is also talk in Chile of
making war service compulsory, as it
is in the fatherland. Chilean officers
have been sent to other countries in
Europe to study and procure certain
modern small arms. Word has been
received here that special agent has
been sent to France to hurry the COM
pletion of the Captain Pratt, the largest
and most effective battle-ship in Chile's
ship-list. There have been signs of ac-
tivity in the repairing of the crippled
forces of the naval and military estab-
lishments.
No one will say that all this warlike
preparation bodies i'll to the United
States, but it does cast doubt in the
minds of the naval officials on President
Months statement that he proposes to
reduce his force to the minimum. So
little is the confidence in the statement
that there has been no cessation in
the preparations OF our own war-ves-
sells for sea. The work begun on them
at the time the demand for reparation
was made is still being continued. The
concession on the part of Chile in the
manner of conducting the investiga-
ton of the Baltimore affair has not
been taken as an intimation as to what
the final reply of the Chilean govern
ment will be. AS that matter remains
in doubt and the Chilean government
continues to prepare for war, this gov.
eminent will hardly be justified in
stopping its preparations because it is
presumed that our vessels will not be
called upon to back up the original de-
mand in case it is refused.

A SLAVE SHIP SUNK,
The Brig Tahiti Goes Down With Ali
On Board.

Inc Orig Ihnibi SOeS Down WIN Ala
On Board.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov 3O.-A dis
patch from Manzanillo, Mexico, states
that the Mexican steamer ROseville ar
rived there and reports passing the
wreck of the brig Tahiti at sea. She
was floating bottom up, and the captain
of the Roseville says she must have
been capsized. The rigging had been
cut away on the port side, apparently
to prevent this. The Tahiti created a
sensation Sept. 80 last by putting into
brakes bay, near this city, in dis
tresS. She had 270 Gilbert islanders on
board, under contract for work in Mexico
at starvation wages. These men were
practically slaves, and there was much
talk of selling the vessel. Collector
Phelps, however, decided he had no
right to detain her, and the brig left.
1t seems almost certain that all on
board have been lost, as the ships
boats were still with her, and nothing
had been heard of any survivors. The
wreck must have happened at least a
month ago. Besides the islanders the
vessel carried officers and crew, TWEEN
ty-one in number, making the total
291 on board the Inflated craft.

Two Express Trains Collide on the
Lake Shore Road with
Fatal Result.
One Engine Crashes Into the Rear of
Way Passenger
Coach.
Three Deaths will Surely Result and
Many Others are Badly
Injured.

TOLEDO, Nov. 2S.-The Boston and Chi
eago express, east bound, on the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern road was
run into tonight by a Flint & Pere Mar
quette express, two people being killed
outright and many injured.
In the outskirts of the city the road runs
through tunnel under tie canal. East
of the tunnel is signal target. The
Lake Shore train had stopped for the tar
get when the Flint e. Pere Marquette train,
which goes through the tunnel and over the
Lake Shore tracks to the union depot
crashed into the rear at high speed. An
ordinary day coach was attached to the
rear of the Lake Shore express for way
passengers, and into this the colliding en-
CINE plowed until the pilot was in the
middle of the coach. The seats and floor
were torn up and the unfortunate victims
were scalded by escaping steam from
the boiler There is but two minutes
difference in the arriving time of trains,
behind time. The Flint and Pere Mar
quette engineer says he saw the rear lights
of the Lake Shore train while he was still
In the tunnel and knowing collision was
inevitable, shut off steam, after which he
and his fireman jumped. The list of
casualties is:
Mrs. Susan Mccoy, Saginaw, dead.
Miss Ellen Myers, Cleveland, fatally in
jured.
Among others injured, some of whom
are in a serious fondition are:

THE SPEAkERSHIP.
Mr. Springer Said to Be Leading Both
Mills and Crisp.


Mills and Crisp.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-The situation
in the Speakership contest is about the
same as it was last Friday. All of the
Illinois members except three are now
here and they will probably hold a
meeting about Thursday. The Iowa
and Michigan members are arriving
daily and are loud in their praise OF
Springer The earnestness of the Hi
nois men is making good impression,
and the general feeling is that Springer
is far in the lead up to date. 1t is not
overstating the facts to say that Mr..
Springer is now so near the lead as to
cause considerable worry in the Mills
and Crisp camps, and wholesale fear
of what the Illinois movement
may result in is expressed.
There is one contingency, however, that
is liable to upset the plans of the
Springer forces and that is the with
drawal of Hatch from the race. Should
the Missouri man withdraw it would
throw nine Missouri votes to Mills and
only one at the most to Springer. The
New England members will hold a
meeting, and it is an open secret that
they will enter the fight for Mills. The
friends of the Texas man are also very
jubilant over the recent action of the
Brooklyn delegation, which has solid
flied for Mills. Indiana is claimed fol-
Crisp, while Pennsylvania is very doubt
full with the exception of small dele
he St itnh
Crisp. The above is only very incom
plete estimate of the standing of the
three leading candidates for the Speak
ership, but the members are arriving
unusually slow, and until at least a ma
jority of them are here no definite con.
clusion can be reached.

Interior Fully Reviewed.

Interior Fully Reviewed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-The annual
report of the Secretary of the Interior
was made public to-day. The report
exhibits clearly the condition of
affairs in this great department.
The work accomplished during the
last fiscal year has been of immense
volume and of signal Importance. The
general land Office is nearly abreast OF
its work; the Indian bureau is accom-
plishing the rapid disintegration of the
Indian reservations, the severance
of tribal relations and the education OF
the Indian youth; the pension Office is
rapidly completing the allowance of
all pensions legally possible under the
laws, moving at the rate of about
thirty thousand month; the
census has been taken and its
publications rapidly going on: the
geological surveyor is keeping up its
admira bic work and is selecting the re-
servoirs for the arid lands of the far
west and southwest: the railroad bu-
reau is making ready for the maturity
of the debts due from the subsidized
railroads, the Union Pacific and others.
the bureau of education, besides having
distributed the vast fund allowed
the Agricultural colleges for white and
colored pupils in the differ
ent States is engaged in new plans for
the accumulation and distribution of
information useful for the schools and
their better management; and the
patent Office having celebrated it's
centennial, is still advancing in the
volume and variety of it's interesting
and great Investigations and patents.
Besides all these the management OF
the Yellowstone national park, the
Yosemite National park, the Sequoia
National park, the hot springs OF
Arkansas and of the other institutions
under the secretary, almost endless in
number, is reviewed with care and
many valuable suggestions made as to

PEKIN, Nov. 80. - The situation
grows more serious daily. Instead of
one outbreak of the revolutiOnists the
movement seems to be divided, one dis
turbance occurring north of Kin-Chow
where one town has been looted, and
second and more serious uprising
near Talxou. In the latter
place the mandarins have purchased
immunity for the natives by allowing
the rebels to wreck their vengeance on
the foreigners, more than three hun

CORN CORNER.
1t Has Been ShrewdIy Manipulated In


1t Has Been Shrewdly Manipulated In
CHICAGO, Nov. 30-The wind up of the
November corn deal would seem to prove
the assertion that the Chicago end was
nothing but side show to the big corner
in New York. Some favor the belief that
Cudahay's heavy shipments to cover New
York contracts caused the pinch here. 1t
is evident from the advance in the price
in New York TO $l.10 against Is
cents in Chicago that some persons in the
former city are having the screw
tnrned on them rather merciIessily. 1t
was very quiet but very strong, the corner
being shrewdly manipulated. It is not
improbable that the courts will be called
upon to adjudicate the differences of some
parties to the deal, as it is rumored that
several operators On the wrong side have
defaulted on contracts.
