Great Alarm in RuSsian-Poland Over the
 Reappearance of the Pest.
 VIENNA, Dec. 24.-The cholera is in. creasing in the province of Lubin, Rus sian Poland, and adjoining the Austrian border.
 The consternation caused by the ray ages of the cholera last autumn in that region had become allayed, but is again being aroused, and many of the people are fleeing from the cholera stricken dis tricts.
 The fugitives are stopped at the Aus trian frontier, if seen by the sentinels, but there is no doubt that many of them escape into Galicia and Austria proper.
 The authorities on both sides of the border are doing all they can to prevent panic, with the scenes of inhumanity, which accompanied the panic in autumn.
 The report that emigration to America is virtually stopped has caused much dis appointment, as, owing to dread of chol- era and for other reasons, multitudes were preparing to emigrate during the coming spring.

M'GLYNN'S N'SRESTORATION
Will He Be Assigned to His Old Parish of St. Stephen's7
ARCHBISHOP coRRIeAN TO DECIDE

What Concessions Have Been Made Known-NIGr. satolli and Father Burt. sell Settled the Case Last Night.
 WASHINGTON, Dec 24.-The famous cast of Father McGlynn of St. Stephens Church has finally been decided by the restoration to him of authority to perform his priestly functions.
 The settlement of the case came within the scope of the general power vested in Monsignor Satolli, the Papal Legate, and the decision was promulgated by him last night at the Catholic University, where he is stopping.
 The case was first formally presented to Mgr Satolli on Wednesday last, by Father Burtsell, Dr. McGlynn's friend and adviser throughout the controversy with the Archbishop, which resulted ir the suspension of the priest, and then his practical eXcommunication.
 He presented the plea of the deposed priest, at the close of which Mgr Satolli told him to return to New York and com, municate to Dr. McGlynn message from him the Monsignor.) The purport of this message can only be surmised, but it is believed to have contained q statement of the concessions required to be made by him in order that his plea might receive favorable consideration.
 Dr. McGlynn's reply was brought tc Washington yesterday by Father Burtsell and he and Mgr, Satolli were in consul tation over the matter.
 The presence of Dr. McGlynn's friend il the city became known and as result various reports were circulated as to the action of Mgr. Satolli in the matter. II had not been the intention of the Papa Legate to settle the case at this date, but at late hour last night the following statement was furnished by representa- tive of Mgr. Satolli
 ''To end the many contradictory tele grams sent out to the University for in quiry, it is thought expedient to statt that at o'clock p. m. Dr. McGlynn wa. declared free from ecclesiastical censures and restored to the exercises of hi priestly functions after having satisfied the Popc's Legate on all the points in hi case.'
 The effect of this decision by Mgr Satolli is limited. It enables Father Nc Glynn to serve as priest in any parish t, which he may be assigned. A return tC his old fold at St. Stephens is a subjec for further consideration and must be set tied, the authorities here say, by Arch bishop Corrigan of New York.

DIVORCE INDUSTRY THREATENED.
It Is Proposed to Require n Longer Rest
 dence in south Dakota.

III
 SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Dec. 24.-Much in- terest is manifested over the probable fate Cf the South Dakota divorce industry when the Legislature meets in January.
 There is a decided tendency, especially in religious circles, towards a lengthening of t,Ie time for gaining legal residence from ninety days to one year.
 North Dakota requires only ninety days and Nebraska six months, so that the pro- posed change would etfectually and i'm mediately destroy the divorce industry of this State.
 The attack on the law is led by the State w. C. T. U., which has made Mrs. Em,na Cranmier and Mrs. Irene Adams a committee to lobby at Pierre this winter for change of the law.

As the figures are to include December 31, Mir Springer does not expect the in formation before about the middle of January. The information obtained by this committee will necessarily be the basis of all the tariff and financial legis- lation to be enacted by the next con- gress. It will also show whether Secretary Foster has maintained a small available balance by improperly man. ipulating figures and by an extensive system of withholding payment of ac- counts against the government long after they should have been ,paid, both of which he has repeatedly been charged with doing.

CHRISTMAS.

Gloria in excelsis Deo."
 There is no holiday in the calendar so dear to the popular heart and so uni versal in it's celebration as Christmas. The coming of the savior was an event transcendent above all earthly events. There is no dark side to the picture. He brought hope and faith to mankind. Therefore it is that, though other festi- vals may decline, the Christmas grows upon us as the years g. by, and so it will continue to grow as long as the beneficent teachings of the savior con- tinue to guide the world in the right direction.

ENGLAND is holding S40O, ,000,0O0 of the old confederate bonds. The London papers have been engaged, since the re- cent election, in endeavoring to con vince the American people that the United States ought to make a com. promise settlement of those bonds. They were issued to help along the rebel government during our civil war. It is needless to say that no political party in this country will ever dare to encourage a movement looking to the payment of these bonds. In thinking that the dem- ocratic party favor such measure Eng land does the party injustice. The bonds were placed in Europe at par and in some instances at figures above par. The loss fell on the British investors.

frankly admitted American vessels to equal
rights on her canals, and a smile adorned
