BISHOPS THANK THE POPE.

They Strongly Condemn Cahens1ey's In
reference with the American Church.
BALTIMORE, Nd, July pat the next
meeting of the Catholic Hierarchy Of
the United States letter of thanks will
be sent to the Pope in the name of the
bishops of the country, thanking him
for having rejected the petition of Herr
Cahensly and his associates. The HER
archy looked upon the memorial as an
unwarrantable interference with the
business of the Catholic Church in the.
United States. To a man the bishops
were against it. The petition was
considered an insult to tie American
Hierarchy, and the bishops were pre-
pared to resent it, if necessary. 1t is
more than likely that III some sections
of the country the laymen would have.
been called upon to assemble in mass
meeting and denounce the work of the

and collectively, believe there should
be no race in the United States, and
some of them are In favor of the govern
ment taking positive action in suppress
ing the teaching of any language in any
school but the English language.

appointed Sidney A. Stevens, of this

the cause of the failure, but it is limited

other two concerns were purchased in

Italian Laborers Threatened with Death
by American Workmen.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 24.-Glen Hazel,
a pretty little numbering hamlet four
teen miles from Ridgway, Elk County,
may soon be the scene of a race war
that will create as great furore in
diplomatic circles as the famous Italian
episode in New Orleans.
During a drunken row between lum-
bermen and Italians, employed in grad
ing an extension of the New York, Lake
Erie & Western Railroad, Horace Fish
er, a iobber, was fatally stabbed in the
abdomen by Paolo Passuzzi, who was
arrested. Later he made his escape to
the Italian camps aud has not been
captured.
FBSoon after the murder the Italians at
Glen Hazel flung the national flag of
Italy to the breeze and defed arrest.
The woodsmen then began to talk of
shooting every Dago IN the town. Their
blood is at fever heat, and they are de-
termined that the brutal murder of their
companion shall be avenged. They
have served notice on the leader of the
Italian band, giving him five days to de-
liver the body of Passuzzi, the murderer
of Fisher.
The Dagos are terribly frightened at
the way things are looking, and have
notified the Italian consul at Philadel-
phia of their danger.

PORTERS ASK MORE PAY.

Employees of the Pullman Car Company
After an Increase in Wages.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 25.-The extremely
liberal and accommodating corporation
known as the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany IS shortly to be asked to make
some small addition to the pittance
which it now doles out to the Senegam-
bans who represent the interests OF
this mighty corporation on its sleeping
cars. This action was decided upon in
a secret session Of the fourth annual
convention of the Railroad Porters of
North America, which was recently held
in Philadelphia. A petition to the COM
pany, asking for an advance in salaries
all along the line, is in process of receiv-
ing signatures, and by the time it is
ready for presentation it is expected to
be monster affair. Then it will be
presented to the high moguls by dele
cation of twenty of the oldest porters in
the service.
Some of the porters spoken to to-day
were sanguine of success, asserting that
both Mr.. Pullman and General Supt
Weeks had gone so far as to express
themselves in friendly terms regarding
the porters. Those who know some-
thing of the. methods Of the corpora
ton, however, are very doubtful wheth-
er the petition will ever get beyond the
ante-rooms of the magnificent Offices
within which the moguls in cues
ton ensconce themselves. People
who are supposed to know say
that the porters are now regarded az
being generously paid, exclusive of
their tips. The sieeping-car porters re-
ceiye SIS per month, those running
parlor-car $25, while those assigned to
double duty as porter and conductor
are paid the munifcent salary of $3.50
year. On these salaries the company
generously refrains from imposing an
income-tax, although each porter is re-
CURED to provide himself with new
uniform once yearly at cost of S24.
The executive committee of the assc-
citation has been empowered to adopt a
design for an official badge. The design
which meets with the most favor is an
imitation of big silver dollar with
very little whisk broom in the center.

survivors of StoneWall Jackson's bri-
gade; some on foot, others on horse
back, and many old, enfeebled or Grip
pied, in carriages. Behind the veterans
came local cavalry companies with in
fantry and artillery, and company of
sharpshooters. The sidewalks along
the line Of march were packed with
spectators, and so were the windows,
and in many cases the roofs of the
various buildings, and as one noted
survivor after another was recog

A very cordial reception was given to
Mrs. Jackson. At one point in the pro-

bands furnished music, and the famil-

Unknown Parties in France Distribute In
fernal Machines.
PARIS, July 25.-An attemptwas made
day to assassinate Nine. Constans,
wife of the minister of the interior.
Nine. Constans received a package adj
dressed to her from Toulon and appar-
emily containing an oblong box. The
wrapping paper around the supposed
box was taken off, and the package was
found to consist of goodsized missal,
or Roman Catholic mass book. At first
sight it was neat present to send to
wife of the minister. Upon more care
full examination it was found that the
leaves of the missal, to outward appear
ances, had been stuck together with
varnish or mucilage. This caused still
more careful examination Of the mvs-
terious package, and upon being opened
with the greatest care, 1t was found that
the interior of the book had been
cut away in the manner sometimes
adopted by smugglers who desire to
send articles free of duty through the
mails, and who place them in hol-
lowed-out book for that purpose. But
instead of containing valuables which
were sure ptitiOusly sent through the
mails, it was found that the interior of
curry, powerful explosive.
The report of the attempted assassi-
nation is the talk Of Paris, and has
caused considerable Indignation. There
are people who link this attempt upon
the life of minister's wife with the
recent defeat of the French government
in the chamber Of deputies and with
the Boulangist agltatOrs.
PARIS. July 26.-The identity of the
person or persons who sent the Internal
machine received yesterday by Nine.
Constans, the wife Of the minister of the
interior, has not yet been discovered.
According to the latest particulars, the
book in which the explosive was con-
cealed appeared to be Catholic prayer
book. The book, accompanied by a let
ter, was found by Minister Constans on
Saturday morning on his desk. The
handwriting on the envelope was SO
much like the writing of one of his
nieces that he concluded that the letter
was intended for Madame Constans.
and he therefore sent the book and
the letter to his wife. Madame Con-
STAINS on receiving the book found
the leaves stuck fast together, and
handed it to the butler to open.
The butler was about to use a
chisel on it when he noticed a fuse af-
fixed to the leaves. The book was
then turned over to the police, by
whom it was cautiously opened, when a
cavity was disclosed in which was con-
cealed 200 grammes of illuminate. A
few grains of the illuminate, when test
ed in laboratory, exploded with re-
port like that of cannon.
A book similarly prepared reached
M. Etienne, under-secretary of the
colonial office, and another was re-
ceived by NJ. Treble, director of the
colonial health department. NJ Treble
was put on his guard by few grains of
the illuminate dropping out of the book.
There is vague suspicion that the mis-
sives were sent by retired naval sur
geon who has grievance.

BLOWN UP BY A TORPEDO.
United States War Ships Steam Launch
Destroyed by Chilians-Fiye
Yankee Sailors Killed.

CALLAo, Peru, July 25.-The famous
old man-of-war Pensacola, of the United
States Navy, has just arrived here
after an exciting 1un along the
CHILEAN coast. 1t brings the first
news of thrilling accident at africa,
Chile, by which five sailors of the Pen
sacola lost their lives. The steam
launch belonging to the man-of-war was
blown up in the harbor of africa by the
Gillian torpedo boat Condell, and every
man on board killed. The list of dead
includes:
SMITH, O.. New York.
HAYES, WILLIAM, Brooklyn
PECKHAM, FRANK, Newark.
O'ROURKE, TEDDY, Huntington, L. /.
DYKEMAN, ARTHUR E., Pearsalls,
l.. l.
The attack took place the evening of
June /. The Condell is one of Balma-
ceda's torpedo cruisers from the port of
Santiago, and was on the lookout for
the ships of the insurgents. 1t stole
into the harbor of africa about P. NJ.
There was heavy fog, and objects at a
distance of 100 yards could not be dis
cerned with any distinctness.
The steam launch had left the Pensa-
cola on the regular evening trip to the
shore, and was making its way slowly
when suddenly those on the man-of-
war saw the little boat lifted complete
" out of the water, as if subterranean
monster had risen up under the launch
and tossed it in the air.
There was the dull echo of half
smothered explosion, and then wreck
age was scattered in every direction.
Not a sound of human voice was
heard. The quiet that followed told
plainly that the five men aboard the
launch had either been killed outright
or so manned as to be unable to make
the condition known.
The search light of the Pensacola was
brought into play, and at the same In
slant orders were given to lower the
boats When the broad rays of the flash
light made specters against the great
curtain of fog the Condell was discOv-
cred only a short distance away. The
Chilian cruiser had mistaken the launch
for an insurgent boat and had used a
torpedo with deadly effect. There was
intense excitement aboard both vessels
for the next twenty minutes.
Signaling continued between the man
of-war and the torpedo boat for some
time, and when the situation of affairs
became known on the Condell its com
mander dipped his colors and sent his
chief officers aboard the Pensacola.
It then became known that the eX-
plosion of the torpedo was a stupid
blunder on the part of the cruiser
Such apologies as could be offered were
made, but the feeling among the com
rades of the dead sailors was bitter
The bodies were not recovered.
