CALlFORNIA's EARTaoUAKE.

N~NA@AA OAa~N ia nv l. AN
The severe and extensive earthquake in
California on the morning of April 10th,
appears to have been among the most
alarming and destructive seismic disturb
ances recorded on tbs oft agitated Pacific
Coast. The most memorable Californian
earthquakes those of 1872. 1866 and
1S72-were fatally disastrous. In the
conyulsion of 1865 the Bay of San Fran
cisco was involved, the shock having It
focus on the coast. The earthquake of
1872 violently shock the whole Sierra Ne
vada range and also the state of Nevada.
In this case the center of the disturbance
was IN the mountain range, whence its
waves were propagated east and west.
The earthquake was attributed to the tilt
ing, shifting and settling down of g
block of the earth's crust forty miles long
In Owens Valley, which was sadly DESC
lated. The recent shock appears to have
originated, as that of 1872, in the Sierra
Nevada, and it is not unlikely that the
area affected is more extensive than the
first reports indicate.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. 14.-There has
just been issued by the publishing
house of John Murphy & Co., of this
city, for private circulation among the
bishops OF the Catholic church in the
United States an authentic Abstract of
the Minutes of the Third Annual Con-
ference OF the Most Reverend Arch
bishops OF the United States"
These approved minutes will proba-
bly, be accepted by Catholics every
where as conclusive on the disputed
questions as to what took place in the
conference OF archbishops as to Mgr.
Satolli's mission, and the views the pa
pal delegate laid before that conference
on the public school question. Follow
ing are in part the abstracts bearing on
this matter:
Archbishop Satolli informed the met
ropolitans that he had been commits
stoned by the holy father 10 speak to
them in his name ON the question Of
Catholic education. He then read and
explained fourteen propositions which
he laid before the archbishops for
the purpose of finally settling
tho school question, and Of in
dicating the means that should
be adopted for the imparting of relig-
ious instruction to Catholic children.
After having declared that this state
ment was made in the name
OF the Pope, Monsignor Satollt
went on to say that he had been charged
moreover by Leo XIII to inform the
metropalitans that as it has been GUS
tomary with the Holy See to appoint
apostolic delegates to reside permanently
in countries where the hierarchy is we'll
established and religion is flourishing,
it was the pope's heartfelt desire that
now a permanent apostolic delegation
should be established in the United
States with the concurrence OF the most
reverend archbishops. At the after
noon session OF the same day the docu-
ment presented by Mgr. Satolli was
taken up and some notifications sug-
gested, which with his consent were af-
terWard adopted.

THE CooLEY GASES.

Auo GAGkunNn " 1uuoh bhO AuN4ASk-
ments-A Pennsylvania Custom.
UN1oNTowN, Pa. Dec. 14.-There was
great interest in the court in anticipa-
ton of the decision of the judge in the
Cooley case. Every available seat was
taken, and there was large attendance.
When the court opened jury gave q
verdict in an assault case, and then Dis
trict Attorney Frazer arose amid silence.
He quoted from "Wharton" to show
that it was a peculiarly Pennsylvania
custom to have the indictments drawn
in the form objected to. Mr.. Downs
also quoted to override this. After
some discussion Judge Ewing said he
had carefully considered the question
and found it was the custom in this
state. He thought it a very loose prac-
tice, and would have quashed the bills
but for an instance which he quoted as
precedent. He overruled Mr.. Downs
motion.
Attorney Searight tried for q continu-
ance on account Of the absence OF Wit
nesses and also because OF the popular
feeling in this case, but he also has
overruled the witnesses for the com
monwealth and the defendants had
gone off believing after last night that
they would not be required again this
term. The judge said they would all be
required 10 be here before tomorrow.
Meanwhile murder case was taken up
and the Cooley cases will come next.
The cases against Ida Pastorius will OF
course also stand now.

THE PANAMA. SCANDAL.

Editor.


Editor.
Paris, Dec. 1.-THE principal wit
nesses examined by the Panama canal
committee to-day were NJ. Rouvier, who
yesterday resigned the finance port
folio, NJ. Constans, a former minister OF
the interior, and M. Georges Clomen-
ceau, the we'll known radical deputy.
NJ. Rouyier was the frst to be examined.
He declared that he had nothing to add
TO what he said yesterday. On being
questioned in regard TO his relations
with Baron DeReinach, he replied that
when he visited Reinach the baron ap.
peared to be greatly agitated. He asked
the baron il he had committed any
criminal otfense or bribed any senator
or deputies, and that the baron replied:
''No, have realized aome profits, which
l have shared with certain friends"
Georges Duval, acting editor OF La
Li6Ja, who had been summoned to tes-
tify, has written a disrespectful letter,
in which he refuses to appear before
the committee and declares that NJ.
Drumont, the editor, must be liberated
from prison. NJ. There, the coullis-
sier, was recalled to-day to give further
evidence. He admitted that he burned
the stubs of the check referred to in his
former evidence. They bore certain
notes, he said. upon which the charges
Of bribery may have been founded.

sMoTHERED IN GRAIN.
Patrick MacAdury's Body Found In tn,

Patrick NIaoAdury's Body Found In the
Hold of tho Bolivia.
LONDON, Dec. 14.-The body of Patrick
MacAdury, of Brooklyn, N. Y, was
found to-day in the hold OF the Anchor
line steamship Bolivia, at Glasgow, from
New York. embedded among the grain.
This shows that the mother and friends
of MacAdury were correct in their be-
lief that he had been smothered in grain
when the steamship was being loaded,
and that his body was among the grain.
MacAdury was the bag sewer on the
Bolivia. It was his duty while the ves-
sell was discharging her cargo to go down
the hatchways and sew up all the torn
bags before they were hauled out. This
was what he was doing when missed.
His work took him down the first and
second matches. Theimport cargo from
the third hatch had been taken out, and
a lighter alongside was chuting grain
into the ship at the rate Of several tons
minute. The officers were OF the
opinion that MacAdury had gone
ashore, and in spite OF the suspicion
that his body was in the grain the
steamer was permitted to go without
interruption. Mrs. MacAdury went to
the steamer distracted with grief, and
appealed to the officers not to go to sea
with the body of her son aboard. They
insisted on their opinion that the boy
was probably not on board and refused
10 undertake the task, which would
have occupied two or three days, of re-
moving the grain to get where the body
was supposed 10 be located.
