POLES WANT A BISHOP.
Pennsylvania Catholics Pushing the Ca
hensly Movement

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 2.-Despite
the opposit OH which has been de-
veloped in this country to what is known
as the Canhensly movement, both on
the part Of archbishops, bishops, gener-
al ecclesiastics and laity, the special
committee of this city is en-
gagged in creating a sentiment in
favor of the appointment by the
Papal See of Polish bishop for the
United States. 1t had originally been
intended that committee Of fifteen
should leave for Rome this week, but
Il cir departure has been deferred, ow-
Jig to the fact that the amount Of
money necessary has not yet been
subscribed. Subscriptions are being
collected in most of the principal cities
of the country and up in the mining re-
gions of this state-most of the Polish
laborers having contributed from % to
so cents and 81. 1t is also said that
quite a number of Prostestants have
contributed to the fund.
The leader of the movement, Prof.
Leopold Beck, an ex-colleague of Kos
suth's, the eminent Hungarian patriot,
and who was appointed scientific com
missioner to the Vienna exposition
bv Gen. Grant, says that he
has encountered great opposi-
ton from the Irish Catholics, but that
it has been determined to get the mat
ter before the Pope. There are $780,
900 Poles in the country, he says, who
cannot speak English or make their
necessities known to Irish priests.
The delegation, when it leaves, will
bear largely signed petition, and
which will contain among the names
those of Charles H. Meyer, the German
consul, and w. A. Kerr, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee. 1t is
said that there are now two priests in
Rome paving the way for the delega
ton.
he Poles are in favor of the appoint
ment of Archbishop Hryniewiecki, who
is an assistant at the papal throne. He
is noted scholar, and was once an ex-
lie in Siberia, from which place the
Papal See secured his release. The
petition will urge that the Poles do not
want to set up class religion, that the
movement is not a purely religious one,
but that the appointment is desired
simply as a measure to improve the
condition of the Poles now in this coun-
try

Emperor Frederick and His Son had
Many Creditors.
BERLIN, July "a book concerning
the Emperor Frederi K has recently
been seized by the police. 1t contains
much that is remarkable and new. His
generosity involved him in network
of debt and compelled him to resort to
the usurers frequently for the aid which
his father refused. He was obliged
to paw sometimes 90 per cent. The
author says he saw one of the Crown
Princes notes for $500 marks
at this rate of interest. Finally EN-
peror William learned of the difficulty
and worried over it almost constantly.
When Frederick assembled the throne
his total Indebtedness fell little short OF
Is 900 900 marks. Frederick never re-
covered from the tortures of mind and
body to which his financial trouble sub
iected him. The author says that the
reignng HohenZollern also was in
VOWED in great financial difficulties III
his last years before ascending the
throne. lis embarrassment was caused
by his fathers thrift and by his own
extrava0ant habits.

rrope UP BY A TORPEDO.
u Sf S4 I.nnch
Destroyed by Chilians-Five
Yankee Sailors Killed.

CA11Ao. Peru, July 25.-The famous
old man-of-war Pensacola, of the United
States Navy, has just arrived here
otter an exciting 1un along the
CHILEAN coast. It brings the first
news of a thrilling accident at africa,
Chile. bv which five sailors of the PEN
sacola lost their lives. The steam
launch belonging to the man ot-war was
blown UP in the harbor Of africa by the
Cbilian torpedo boat Condell, and every
man on board killed. The list of dead
includes:
SMITH, O., New York.
HAYES. WILLIAM, Brooklyn.
PECKHAM, FRANK, Newark.
ORO1TRKE, TEDDY, Huntington, L. /.
DYKEMAN, ARTHUR E., Pearsalls,
l.. /.
Tue 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 it's 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 a half
smothered explosion, and then wreck
age was scattered in every direction.
Not a sound of a 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
CHILEAN 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 it's 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 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.

Wounded in Ohio.
While the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton excursion train of fourteen cars
war returning to Dayton on the 25th,
with the National Cash Register en-
ployes from a picnic at Woodsdale
Park, a freight train collided with it at
Middletown station at s P. NJ Five per-
sons were killed and Fifty wounded.
The excursion train broke a drawbar
while pulling upon siding, and in the
delay of recoupling freight train came
along and running into the next to the
rear coach caused an awful wreck and
disaster. The cars were packed full of
people, and were plowed into mass of
broken cars and dead and crippled hui
man beings. Some passengers who were
on the train came home on the Big
Four express and they report that
seven were killed. Scores of others
had their legs or arms broken or were
otherwise injured. News of the disas-
ter spread over the city like w1ldfire,
and the depot at this hour is filled with
anxious families whose relatives are on
unfortunate train. The city ambulances
and patrol wagons have all been or
dered to the depot to transport the in

THREE OF A KIND.
Unknown Parties in France Distribute In
fernal Machines.

Unknown Parties in France Distribute In
fernal Machines.
PARIS, July 25.-An attempt was made
to-day to assassinate Nine. Constans,
wife of the minister of the interior.
Nine. Constans received 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 good-slzed mlssal,
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 bv 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 surreptitiously sent through the
mails, it was found that the interior Of
the missal contained illuminate of mer-
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 agitators.
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 a 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-
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 a laboratory, exploded with re-
port like that of cannon.
A book similarly prepared reached
M. Etienne, understanding of the
colonial office, and another was re-
ceived by NJ. Treble, director of the
colonial health department. M. 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 a grievance.

AGAINST ALLIANCE DOCTRINES
Address by the Democratic Editors of the
State of Kansas.


State of Kansas.
Topeka, Kas., July 27.-About thirty,
five members of the Democratic Press
Association of Kansas are assembled
here in convention. The committee ap~
pointed to prepare an address to the
people of the state have completed
their work, and it will he read ut the,
banquet at the Troop House.
this evening. The address express
es sympathy with any body of
persons seeking reform and contenGing
against existing evils in laws and ad~
ministraton of the government. On
the questions which are interesting the
farmers at present the address SAYS:
We believe IN abolishing the iniQuitieS of
class legislation in tariff legislation. We
believe in return to the financial system
of the country practiced from the tounda-,
ton Of the government to the,
Iition of the bankrupt system. We
believe in vigorous and wholesome control
of the transportation system OF the coun~
try. To those who favor governmental
loaning of money on products OF the
SOIL, we quote a maxim by one,
1.-The government must not become bank
err" We oppose governmental purchase
of railroads, but we believe in Legislative
control of the interest of the people, whose
chartered servants they are. We enphat-
ical17 oppose the proposition for the gov
eminent to purchase the surplus products,
of the soil, as being plain violation of the,
constitution.
The administration of President Har~
rison, the appointment Of w. w. Dud~
ley to bis present position, and the ac~
ton of the Senate in upholding Senator
Quay and the Mckinley tariff Law, are
strongly denounced.
In conclusion the address makes "a
strong appeal to the Democrats of the
state to perfect organizations and stand
last to Democratic doctrines. The
scheme of fusion with the Peoples par
ty is not endorsed or advised

DUNBAR, Pa, July 23.-The workmen
who have been laboring for wear since
the dreadful Hill Farm mine disaster
have at last put out the last Pickering
fame, and have pushed themselves to
the edge of the great dam of water
that stands in the lower heading of the
mine. Whether anything is concealed
by the water that as yet fills the depth
of the mine can only be determined
when it is all pumped out. If the men
persisted ia this part of the mine it is
considered possible that at least some
of their bones may be found.

to Report for Examination.

to Report for examinations
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 23.-Lieut.
John F. Meigs, U. S. n, has been or
dered before the retiring board for ex-
animation for retirement. Lieut.. Meigs,
who is a son Of Maj Gen. M. G. Meigs,,
U. S. A., retired, is regarded as al ex~.
pert in ordnance matters, and has,
been in the service twenty-nine
years. The law is very explicit in
stipulating that single defect in the,
physical condition of candidate for
promotion shall be sufficient to cause
his retirement; but influential friends
of Lieut.. Meigs made strong efforts to
induce Secretary Tracy to suspend the
operation of the law in this case. The
law officers of the department, how
ever, represented to the secretary that
an exception made in this case would
constitute dangerous precedent. The
secretary has sustained the views OF the,
law officers
