THE c4HENsLx SCHEME.

BUFFALO, N Y, Sept. 19.-Ths fifth an
nual congress OF German-speaking Catho-
lies meets In this city on Monday. Special
interest attaches to the meeting because
of the recent developments In the Cahensly
case. A belliRerent priest has made a
statement TO the Associated Press. He
said:
There are in the congress two different
classes. One is of priests and laymen. Its
sessions are public. The object seems to
be the discussion of religious and politico-
religious topics. The other section, is the
prlester-verein or German-Amsrican Cler
ical union, whose sessions are held with
closed doors, clergymen only being admit
ted. This is the real congress. AS a
matter of fact, the priester-verein was or
ganized by itself in the spring of 1887 in
Chicago. The first call for the verein was
signed by German priests of st. Louis, the
same who, in 1886, had sent petitions to
Rome asking for special recognition of the
German priests in America, and who have
been such active leaders in every move
ment calculated to promote special organi-
cations OF German Catholics. Many Ger
man Catholics look upon this movement
as ill-advised-as tending TO misunder-
standing and divisions. The English
speaking Catholics declare that it is
un-American. 1t may be, in view of
the recent declaration of the pope, that the
approaching congress may make a public
declaration to disarm this criticism"
In confirmation of this last statement of
the priest, it may be mentioned that the
manager of the Associated Press has re-
ceived a letter from Cahensly, saying that
his object had been misunderstood, and
that he will take occasion to more clearly

q ADV MERCHANT.

STAFFORD Kan, Sept. 19.-[Special. l.
There is one lady in Kansas who does not
make her living over a washboard, sewing
machine or any other domestic machine,
but, instead, is actually engaged in the
retail lumber trade in this town and has
been for the past five years. The lady's
name is Miss J. B. Wallace. She has a
pleasant disposition, is thoroughly posted
in her business-a splendid judge of
lumber-and receives the full share of the
trade.
Miss Wallace was born and educated in
Canada, and lived there until about ten
years ago. She has done the bookkeeping
of the business she now owns and man
ages for the past five years, and for the
past two years has been sole proprietor.
She has a man EMPLOYED to do the heavy
outdoor work in The yard. She informed
the EAGLE correspondent that she consid-
cred her advocation much more healthy,
independent and lucrative than to be tied
down in some household. Miss Wallace's
business office is neatly arranged, and one
would on entering the door naturally ask
if the proprietor was about, when the little
lady frankly replies: II guess / answer
as such" The question is, Whist state or
country has her equal?
Stafford is at present good, thrifty
town, with life everywhere. All say that
times are getting better. Quite a crowd
of Stafford and st. John people will attend
the big fair at Wichita.

AEATAL COLLISION.

PocATELLo, Ida, Sept IA disas-
trous wreck occurred yesterday on the
Union Pacific at Pont Neuf, station six
miles from Pocatello. Passenger trains
Nos. l and collided, killing five men and
seriously injuring several others. The
killed are l. Weidemeyer, a mail clerk,
and four Indians from the Fort Hall res
ervation. The injured are Charles Hoyt,
an engineer, Chris Mackenzie, 2. 2. Gun
derson, Mail Clerk Lyons, two tramps and
a squaw. Lyons was fearfully scalded and
received internal injuries. Engineer Hoyt
had his shoulder blade broken and is 9th
erwise badly bruised. Mackenzie and
Gunderson both had their right arms
broken and were terribly cut. When train
No. left Pocatello the conductor had or
ders to sidetrack and pass No. at Pont
Neuf station. As No neared that point
it was discovered that No. /, west-bound,
had the right of way and was just stop
ping. When within less than half mile
of Mol the engineer of No. 2 examined his
air brake and discovered that he had no
control over the train. He Immediately
whistled down brakes, but before the
brakemen could respond the trains were
within few feet of each other, and in a
second No. crashed into the other train,
then at standstill. No. 2 was running
at high rate Of speed, and the conclusion
was terrific. Before the collision the en-
gineers and firemen of both trains jumped,
all escaping uninjured except Hoyt. None
of the passengers were injured.

THE RANK-TAX LAW.

WASHINGTON, Sept l9-The question of
the constitutionality of the tax of = cent
imposed semi-snnually on national banks
Is raised in a case before the courts of the
District of Columbia The question will
probably soon reach the supreme court.
The bank bringing the suit is the Twin
City National bank OF New Brighton,
MINI. The ground for questioning the
constitutionality of the tax is that this
portion of the banking act originated in
The senate. The constitution provides that
''Rll bills for raising revenue shall orlgi-
nate in the house OF representative" The
senate, it is claimed, has authority to pro
pose OF concur with amendments as on
other bills. But the contention in this
case will be that the banking act was not
a bill 10 raise revenue when il reached the
senate and could not be transformed into
such a bill by the senate. There are other
grounds upon which the tax is contested
ln the particular case before the court II
the constitutionality of the question
should be decided in favor OF the bank, ii
might open the way for a great multitude
of suits for refund by the banks through
out the country. The statute of limita-
tion would probably prevent the recovery
of all these payments back to the orgaui
zation of the national banking system in
1854 but it would take more than $1,000
coo to refund the taxes for the past five or
six wears,

THE PORT HURON TUNNEL.

PORT HURON. Mich, Sept. l9.-All trains
arriving at Port Huron and Sarnia today
had distinguished guests, who were to
take the first official ride through the
great tunnel At 1890 Sir Henry Tyler
waved his hand and the inaugural train
started. 1t pulled directly TO the Sarnia
depot where a number of invited guests
and citizens of Sarnia were taken aboard.
Then the train steamed out to the edge of
town to reach the approach to the tunnel
Here, near the unfinished depot. a trium-
phal arch had been erected. Mayor
Watson and other officials of the town of
Sarnia met the president of the Grand
Trunk railway and the mayor read an ad-
dress President Tyler made a brief
speech of acceptance, and the company
with the Sarnia officials boarded the train
and proceeded on the trip through the tun-
mel
When they arrived on the other side.
they passed through another triumphal
arch. where Mayor McIlvaln and his Port
Huron associates were waiting on the
platform to receive them. A large assem-
blage of citizens was also present. As soon
AS the railway officials stepped from the
cars, Port Huron's big handsome mayor
came to the front and read an address. At
the conclusion of the reading the mayor
presented Sir Henry Tyler with an en-
crossed copy of the address. Sir Henry
responded with neat speech or thanks,
and the people cheered and waved their
handkerchiefs. The train then pulled out
to the Chicago and Grand Trunk passen-
ger station. where all got off and EN- bark
ed on the Mary ID Conger for Sarnia.
This triumph of modern engineering has
been constructed under the swift outlet of
Lake Huron, to supersede the ferry sys-
tenn of transporting the traffic of the
Grand Trunk route from the American to
the Canadian banks. The work took
twelve months for completion. The tun-
mel itself under the river is 6,026 feet long.
1t is lined throughout with solid cast iron
plates, bolted together in segments. The
interior of the tunnel is twenty feet in di-
ameter. The tunnel is thoroughly venti-
lated, and is to be lighted with electricity.
The total length of the ttnnel and ap-
proaches is II. $50 feet. The total cost was
s.. AGO. 600. 1t shortens the distance to the
seabosrd six miles and saves two hours
time.

The HAWAIIAN STORY.

SAN Francisco, Sept. I'D. A. McKin-
lev. the Hawaiian consul, was shown the
dispatch from Washington stating that
Signor Celso Caesar Moreno. the Italian
American residing there and acting as
agent in this country for the National
party of Hawaii. had laid before President
Harrison a letter that he received fiom
Honolulu, asserting that England is now
planning to take possession of the king
dom. Mr. Mckinley has just received a
letter from her majesty and one from the
secretary of state of the island kingdom.
Both of these. as well as other communi-
cations received from members Of both
political parties describe the situa-
tion as most harmonious.
1T is not likelv," said the consul. that
il the queen favored such move she
would have her cabinet composed entirely
of Americans or descendants OF Ameri-
cans. The story is preposterous.

A RAILWAY RuMOR.

CHICAGO. Sept. 19.-One OF the rumors
current here today is that when the Den
yer and Rio Grande controversy Is settled
,Iay Gould will be the owner of that road.
The rumor is supposed TO be based on the
fact that Gould and his chief lieutenant
when returning from their visit TO Mon
tana. travelled from Salt Lake to Denver
on the Rio Grsnde and inspected every
foot of that road. II is argued further
that Gould cannot afford TO let the Union
Pacific be shut out of Colorado business
by allowing the Rock Island or Burling-
ton 70 tie up with the Rio Grande.
