Maude vietims-Papal Condemnation
of Cahensly Published in Rome.

LONDON, July 29.-Lord Salisbury, in his
speech at the lord mayors banquet to-
nigh., reviewed the labors of the present
session OF parliament. He said hard and
valuable work had been done, and the OBJ
struction formerly hindering legislation
had almost disappeared. He rejoiced at
the passing of the education bill as calcu-
lated TO support a system of religion which
the people loved.
In regard TO Ireland he said the govern
ment had applied successful remedies to
evils long suffered there, and could
look back on its policy with sat-
isfaction. Five years ago he had
expressed the belief that Ireland
must be governed resoiutely Balfour's
success was largely due to the fact that
those serving under him were assured that
they would be supported and not handed
over to their enemies. Balfour's admin
istration owed its success to persistence
and resolution. [Cheersl. Respect for the
law followed, the people feeling that re-
sistance to the law was futile. "The land
act, Lord Salisbury declared, would be
found not TO be temporary palliative, but
a permanent cure for the troubles OF many
generations. 1t would draw closer the
bond uniting the two countries. England
in the last election declared against the
severance of the bond, and l believe the
decision is irrevocable." ICheersl
Referring to foreign powers, Lord Sails
bury said he never knew period when
Europe was more tranquil. In South
America alone was there a weary quarrel
and constant disorder The English gov
ernment had been pressed to arbitrate in
the Chilean dispute and in the adjustment
of Argentine finances, but England could
not undertake either task. The premier
spoke of the value of the visit of EN-
peror William and the Prince of Naples in
assuring the peace of the great powers. He
hoped in the course of few weeks to well
come to England the fleet of the French
republic. [Cheersl. There had been talk,
he continued, of certain treaties threaten
ing the peace of the world. but he knew
nothing of them.
Referring TO the seal and lobster dis
putes, Lord Salisbury said they dragged
their slow length along with calmness
and slowness suitable to these animals.
1t was useless to imagine that the luxury
of carrying on these negotiations would
cease for the ministry for a considerable
number of years.

mourners followed the bodies to the graves. All
the houses of ST. Maude are draped with crepe

reaching such pitch of excitement that they
went into mysteries. while others tainted.

American papers published in that city, are
making considerable noise over the recent letter
OF the so-called Prince Iturbide, which is now
used as a benner cry by the church party, which
seems to have some concealed candidate against
Diaz, and are using this foolish, ignorant boy
and his backer Verdugo, to cover up appear
ances. The creation of three new archbishops
and i've new bishoprics by the pope is consid-
cred significant. The Indians, who form nine
tenths OF the population, are very loyal TO the
clergy.
President Diaz Ia again well enough to attend
to executive business. but he bears traces of his
recent sufferings. His wife wishes him to go to
Europe for a rest but his ambition keeps him
here and will for some time yet.
The press is more restricted than ever.

All this gives rise to many rumors. The presi-
dent is known TO have had serious misunder-
standing with the minister of finance

''and 1 thank you many times" And he
ate the delicious fruit with great relish. He
then gave Roland his basket, and said:
'Follow me-"
He led the boy through the splendid halls
and rooms of the castle, until he came to a
large iron door, which the old man opened,
and disclosed to the astonished Roland the
treasure chamber of which he had heard so
often. On the floor was heaped gold and
jewels of all kinds From the ceiling hung
countless lamps, whose rays, cleaning on
the treasure produced an almost binding
light. The old man entered and filled the
basket until it was so heavy that Roland
could scarcely carry it. He then led the
boy to a little door, through which, when
opened, bright daylight streamed
'tMany thanks for the strawberries, little
boy" said the old man, 81 have not tasted
anything so good for hundred years"
Then the door closed, and Roland was
standing on the hillside, and there was no
sign of the castle nor of the door, through
which he had just passed. On his way home
he met Bertram and the other boys, who
were delighted to see Roland uninjured,
and when they saw the treasure that he had
brought they ran home for large baskets,
and hurried to the hill; but, although they
searched diligently for several days, they
could never again find the dark hole.
But Roland and his mother became,
through the generous gift of the treasure
master of the buried castle, rich people, and
had great plenty all the rest of theirl lives.

hill.
In the meantime, Roland, not little
frightened, and clinging to the rope, went
down, down, what seemed to him great
distance. Finally he noticed that it was
becoming light, and he could see that the
wall which surrounded him was built of
stone. Gradually the space became wider
and brighter, and at last Roland felt the
floor under his feet Without thinking, he
loosened the rope. which was beginning to
cut him, and looking around he found him.
himself on the hearth of large kitchen,
where hung many shining copper and tin
vessels At the table sat little old man,
dressed in gray, and having great bunch
of keys fastened to his belt. When Roland
thus appeared in the kitchen the old man
arose and, with his small black eyes flashing
angrily, he said: "Who invited you to
come here?'
The boy, trembling with fear, told all
that had Just happened Then the old man
laughed and said: ''Since you were forced
to come, and did not try of yourself to
enter here, no harm shall come to you"
Then seeing the berries, he asked: "Will
you sell your strawberries to me?"
Roland pitied the old man, who must
always live under the ground, and replied:
81 shall make them present to you"
''You are very kind, i" said the old man,
