North TEXAS was storm swept
Monday. Crops were badly dam
aged by hail and much of the corn

over. Texarkana, Athens, Bonham,
Sulphur Springs, Mount Vernon

In some sections hail stones as large
as billiard balls fell, houses were
blown down and trees uprooted.
THERE is a good deal of cold blood
manifested in the way nations weigh
the chances of war nowadays, as
well as in the way in which disin-

probable outcome of a passage at
arms between two nations The
only safe way Of keeping out of war
in these enlightened days is to be
fully prepared for it. Such prepare
ton is costly, but it is better to
keep peace, by naval and other pre-
partitions, than to invite war by lack
of being ready for it.

TROUBLE BREWING.
Indian Natives NIny Rise Up Against Brit

Indian Natives May Rise Up Against Brit
ish Troops.
CALCUTTA, April 6.-Ihe indications are
that very serious trouble ls brewing in In
dia for the British forces. Emboldened by
the success ef the Manipurs who recently
crushed the Goorkha escort accompanying
the chief commissioner, the question is
whether the efforts to settle the disputes
among the rival chieftains of Assam will be
successful. The Miranzi in the Kohat ter
ritory. district of Peshawer, division of the
Punjaba, have risen in arms, attacking the
British troops along the whole length of
their mes. The attack is b9lhg pushed SO
vigorously that strong reinfSEcements have
been hurriedly dispatched to the front.
Full details of this uprising are withheld
by the British authorities here. In addi-
tion to the Miranzi trouble, tele-
grams from Rangoon announce that the
Haiku Chins lay in ambush in favor
able locality awaiting the passing of small
British column on the way from one mill
tary post to another. When the British
were we'll inside the trap laid for them the
Haiku Chins suddenly opened fire upon the
soldiers instantly killing Lieut.. Forbes
and stretching eleven others, severely
wounded, upon the ground. The column,
however, returned the enemy's fire with
such effect that the British force was ena-
bled to retreat from the dangerous posi-
tion into which it had been led, and thus
escaped total,annihilation.

Sent Back to an Asx1nm.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, April 6.-P. J. Sohaps,
appointment miller of.Albany, was some time
ago sent to st. Peters asylum while tempo
rarily deranged. Upon release he found
his mill and other property in the hands of
parties he considered unsafe and began pro-
ceedings in the courts to oust them. They
gave him great annoyance, and last Friday
John F. Krebs, who had been appointed
receiver, filed information alleging that
Schaps was insane. This created great ex-
citement among Schaps' friends, and del
egation of business men came to this city,
where the examination was held and pro-
tested against the proceedings. Schaps,
however, WAS adjudged insane, and re-
turned to the asylum. Much indignation
prevails against Krebs, and prominent citi-
zens of Albany have inaugurated move
ment looking to the release of Schaps.

RELIGIOUS STRIFE.

Stirred Up in Canada Over the Public
school Question.
QuEBEc, April 6.-Canada may now have
on her hands a big religious fight as we'll as
a political one, over the Manitoba school act,
which was recently adopted by the legisla-
ture there and which prohibits religious in
struction in the public schools Of Manitoba.
The entire Roman Catholic hierarchy have
entered upon war against it. In all the ir
churches yesterday a joint mandamen t,
signed by them, was read. The hierarchy
insist that the government of Canada must
act and the result of the mandament must
be to form Canadian Catholics into an al
most compact body to support this course.
Catholic members of the new parliament
are largely influenced by the mandament
and in view of the reduced majority for
the government at Ottawa the situation
in which Sir John will find himself can
not fail to be critical, for it will be-
come question of expediency. While
the reople of Manitoba claim the right to
manage their own affairs and protestant
electors as a rule throughout Canada take
the same stand, and while the Roman
Catholic church hold, on the other hand,
that the act is in violation of vested and
sncred rights, Sir John will decide upon the
course that will expose him to the least
possible loss of support. Sir Johns friends
here think he may evade the question by
referring the constitutionality OF the act to
the supreme court.

SUSPENDED THE MARSHAL.

The Ruction between the Mayor and
Marshal OF MissouIa.
MIssoULA, April 6.-T Special. Mayor
Kennedy suspended Marshal Prescott and
the matter brought out considerable dis
cussion. The mayors reason was that 1t
had been reported that the marshal would
not arrest any more '.yaRs'' because the
mayor turned them loose, and grew out Of
newspaper reports to that effect. Several
days ago Prescott chained three yags to
telegraph poles, one of them to polo in
front of the mayors hotel. This action in
cited the mayor and he turned these vaes
loose upon their promise to leave town at
once. Tonight the mayor said to the
council that unless they took action
on the matter he would leave
the chair. The marshal was
then suspended, after which he was ap-
pointed marshal pro tenn. Marshal Pres
cott had nothing to do with the newspaper
articles. The reporters of the papers in
which the articles appeared were present
and addressed the council, taking all the
responsibility upon themselves.

under the timber and stone acts made BY
members Of the Kaweah cooperative colony
IN California. now within the Sequoia na :.
tional park reservation, created by acts Of
congress- approved Sept. 25 and Oct. /, 1890.
The secretary holds that these applications
TO purchase under timber and stone
acts are not entries OF lands
and the parties making the same
acquire no vested right thereby, hence IL
was competent for congress- to reserve this
land, which 1t did by acts creating the rev.
eryation. In other words, when proof wis
submitted and payment rendered these
lands were not in condition, or were not OF
the class, that might be sold. The appli-
cations are therefore denied. The secre.
tary also decided that in the cases OF entries
made under homestead, pre-emption and
timber laws wherein final proof and
payments were made and final certificates
issued prior to the date OF reservation,
that in case these entries are found to be
regular, the patents should issue. The sec-
retary further holds that q valid homestead d
entry excepts the land from reservation,
but in case the entrymen fail to perfect
their titles. entries should be Cancelled and
the land will become part OF the reserva-
ton. II is estimated that these colonista
have expended in the construction of public
roads and in other improvements about
100000, and while the secretary's decision
may result in hardship to the coloniste
any reli0f to them must come through CON
greHsiOnaI action,

Coke Operators Start Some of Their Plants
Militia on Guard.
P1TTsBuRa, April 6.-Though everything
is quiet, affairs in the coke region to-day
we're decidedly interesting to both sides.
Operators made determined effort to start
several of their plants, with but doubtful
success. The strikers devoted themselves
to looking after stragglers and kept away
from the works. But few men are working
in each plant. Several companies, however,
have notified the sheriff of Fayette
county that they intend to start
tomorrow or latter in the week,
and that the county will be
held responsible for damages if their works
are not guarded. The militia is still held
here, their presence being q guarantee of
peace. The strikers still hope for COM
promise. Up to tonight several Morewood
rioters have been arrested and eight depu-
ties who did the shooting. The justice held
those charged with riot and carrying con-
cealed weapons in $1,000 bail, while the
deputies charged with murder were released
ON S3O0.

Routed the Italians.

KANSAS Cry, April 6.-There was a small
riot at the Phoenix packing house this
morning. Rumors of the re-opening of the
packing house, which had been closed since
November, caused crowds of laborers to
congregate about the gates, about 800 in all.
Later on twenty Italians came up in n
body. They told the superintendent that
they would work for 81 per day. When the
crowd learned of the offer of the Italians
they seized fence pickets, stones and other
missiles and charged them. The Italians
made stand for moment, but were soon
forced back and ended by taking precipi-
tate flight, followed by II storm of curses
and missiles. It is not known whether any
of the Italians were injured or not.

Gives Notice That the Catholic
Church Has Broken With
the Past.
Europe Tending Toward Democ-
racy, Republican Institutions
the Goal.
Leo's Convictions Outlined ny Cardinal
Lavigerl, Primate Of Africa-The
Prophetic Voice Heard.

ROME, April g. Cardinal Lavigerie's toast
at Alaiers, and events which rapidly fol
lowed those striking utterances, are still
much discussed in church circles. Every
thing clearly indicates the decided drift Of
the Catholic church toward modern democ-
racy. But those who have enjoyed the con-
fdence Of Pope Leo know he has always
considered 1t Of prime Importance for tho
church to free itself from identificasion
with old dynastic parties. But IL was nee
essary to move slowly, so as to wound roy
alist and aristocratic susceptibilities as lit
tie as possible. In all countries the pope
has favorite correspondents, upon whose
advice he places special reliance and who
are charged with carrying out his personal
policy. Cardinal Layigerie is one Of these,
and when, Oct. 8 last, Cardinal
Lavigerie arrived in Rome, Pope Leo
pledged him personally with the important
religious and political mission OF bringing
the church in France into harmony with
the republic. Lavigerie's speech brought
innumerable letters to the vatican. All
France grew excited. While the idea OF the
text was suggested and approved by the
vatican, the form it took was not satisfac-
tory. The ardent primate Of Africa went
somewhat beyond bounds. He attacked
the old parties and taunted them with hav-
ing been in alliance with Boulangism. But
this vigorous language had good side. II
made all France understand Immediately
that the church intended to break with the
past. There was no more equivocal mean
ing. The pope said with regard to this:
THE cardinal has done right It was
necessary to strike great blow in order to
get out Of this condition of hesitancy and
confusion" The letter of Cardinal Ram
polla to the bishop of Tours repeated in
gentler form the advice given in Algiers,
and the support of the whole episcopal
body shows the work has been SUCCESSFUL.
1t will come to pass in spite of opposition
and the passion of parties. The pope sees
that the future belongs to democracy. He
is convinced that the United States will
furnish the form of the conclusions of
European society, as we'll as of ecclesiastic
questions. He believes sincerely that
Europe is marching towards democracy
with republican institutions as the predes-
tined goal. In his character as potltiff he
dare not say o., but Cardinal Lavigeyie'R
address was the echo of close conversations
with Leo. Observations which have reached
the vatican from courts are proof that a
prophetic voice has been heard and states
men are warned.
