There ia but one English member Of
the sacred college now living. Carolina
Howard, aud he is in . mad-house.
Cardinal Gibbons, Of Baltimore, and
Cardinal Moran, of Melbourne, are the
only two remaining English-spsaking
cardinals. The death of Cardinals
Manning and Simeoni in . single
day has naturally awakened curiosity
IN the minds of the catholic clergy As
to their probable successors, and the
resultant speculation is as widely At
variance ~ the two poles o. the earth
are apart. 1t is . remarkable facs tina.
the great Enghsh-spsaking mas Of
catholics has . smaller representation
in the sacred college than any
other distinct class of commandments
IL is therefore predicted in high
church circles that the Holy Father
0ill take cognizance OF the wide dis
crepancy and elevate two English
speaking archbishops to the vacancies
now existing. If this prediction shall
prove 10 DO verified, IL is but natural to
conclude that America will be looked
to and that the chair occupied
by Cardinal 5imeoni will Dc
filled by some one Of our pious
aud distinguished prelatss whose
faith and good works shall commend
him to the favor Of the vatican.
Among the more gifted aud iliuslrious
American srchbishops upon whom the
high honor may BE- conferred are Arch
bishop Ryan. of Portland, Ore, and
Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul.
These prelAtes have jurisdiction over
vide expanse Of territory and over
devoted millions Of loyal subjects. Pope
Leo may take an altogether different
view of the promises aud appoint an
Italian to succeed 70 the purple of
simeoni. In any event American cath
oiics will ask for confederation and II
they shall be successful it will be fit
ting recognition OF their Importance
and temporal prosperity.

HOUSE OF PROMISES.

Politics is the only thing to be

of tue house, do not intend to enact
any important legislation aud that
upon the vexed questions of tariff and

tain . non-commital policy. They
know by experience that it is 90 much
easier to please the average voter, with
a promise Of something, than it is to
prepare measure that will define the
issues Of the day. The present session
will be productive in promises. 1t has
been evident from the moment the
Crisp faction secured control of the
house that there was no intention of
passing any general tariff law and it
now appears that the silver question
will be shelved, or that no free-coinage
bill, or substitute for one will be sub
mitted. II has been announced that

LUREO BY A FAIRY.
Now A. KantrowitZ Lam
guiShes in a Narrow Police
Station Cell.
His Financial Operations
Come Under the Legal
Term Of Forgery.
Cutting ARRAY in a Well
Known Saloon Yesterday
Morning.
Interesting Gleanings From
the Pulpit Expressions Of
Minneapolitans.

A. KantrowitZ, who is down in the
directory as travelling salesman, oecu
pied cell in the central police station
last night. The charge against him is
that of forgery. KantrowitZ is we'll
known in Minneapolis, and his friends
are much surprised to hear that he has
been rounded up on any such charge.
1t seems that the troubles of the
young man are all caused by woman.
The story goes that he became tangled
up with fairy who carried spear in
the Mabel Snow Burlesque company
that appeared at the Pence about
pany, being unable to shake off the
charm OF the footlight court lady. At
Grand Forks he fell into financial straits.
He met man named Ross. an architect,
whom he had known before. He in
duced Ross to go on note for $50 with
him. In due time the note was pre-
sented to Ross for payment, after pro-
test. Ross acknowledged having signed
a note. but not the one he was called
upon to pay. The $50 note had been
raised ~ $50.
hdnlIOWllZ ulu llOI StOp HIS ullducldI
operations there. He went on to West
Superior, presumably with the bur-
lesQue aggregation. There he found
another victim for his enterprise. The
West Superior man was Henry Abra-
hams. + e was also caught on a note
for $50, and when the note came back to
Abrahams for payment it, too, had
been raised to $3.50. KantrowitZ's
victims were getting tired of
this sort of thing and the
police were given quiet tip that he
would look well behind a well-devel-
Oped set of prison bars. Detective Joe
Lawrence was put OH the trial. Yes
terday Lawrence went over to st. Paul,
and, in company with Detective Keneal
ey, of that city, found young Kantro-
WITT in the Shades saloon.
The police say that Kantrowitz has
confessed to doing the work placed to
his credit. He also admits having caught
a Minneapolis firm in much the same
way. The Minneapolis firm that fell
victim to the young mans taking ways
IS Peterson d Anderson. of 800 South
Seventh street. That firm is not men
toned in the city directory.

ALLERTON Is PLEASED.
He Says the Option Bills Are
About SQueIched.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-Samuel w. Aller-
ton, one of the committee appointed by
President Hamill, of the board OF trade,
to go to Washington 10 work against the
anticipation bill, has returned very well
satisfied with the work accomplished
before congress. Arguments were made
before the house and senate committees
on agriculture in opposition to the
measure. and good deal of quiet but
effective lobbying was done to secure
promises from congressman to vote
against it. Michael Cudahy has gone to
New York. President HamilI to Balti-
more, and Mr.. AllertOn and Mr.. Knight
have returned to Chicago.
There is now no possibility of the
passage of the Hatch bill as it was
drawn by Mr.. Hatch and sent to the
committee" said Mr.. Allerton.
1--WE have succeeded in convincing
the members of the committees on agri-
culture in both the house and senate
that the passage of the bill would seri-
ously cripple business interests in CHI
cagO. in New York. and in fact in every
city that has an exchange. A bill, how
ever, will be reported. containing GER
tain notifications and provisions, and |
am of the opinion that it will pass the
house. When it reaches the senate,
however, it will meet with serious
stumbling block. l consider that the
danger is now practically over, as any
bill that could pass both house and SEN
ate would be of character that would
be imperative"

CALLED A WITCH.
Remarkable Accusation Against
q Woman of Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 21.-Mrs. An
thony Spiegel tells the police curious
story OF Polish family named Nadolni,
who regard the woman as witch. Sew
eral days ago Mrs. Spiegel purchased
some shoes from Nadolni, who is shoe
maker. and returned to his shop this
morning to have them repaired. She
was about to leave the place when the
man suddenly called his wife. On the
latter'S appearance. she nearly tainted
at the sight of Mrs. Spiegel, but, on re-
covering, Immediately began to upbraid
the visitor for standing naked at her
husbands window, and, in spite of Mrs.
Spiegel'S denials. insisted that she had
seen her there night after night in her
dreams. Mrs. Spiegel was also accused
of making Nadolni's daughter i'll by her
visits, compelling her to vomit grass
hopperS and worms, and causing a son
to have fit in the barn every night
But the climax came when Mrs. Spiegel
endeavored to depart. No sooner had
she started for the door when man and
wife seized upon her, called her witch.
and then, seiZing her by the throat,
poured quantities of salt down her
breast and made her jump over broom.
Mrs. Spiegel finally escaped with severe
bruises. Both families stand we'll in
their community.

CUT AT THE MONOGRAM.
Early Morning Fight in a Saloon,
and Knife Probably Used.

Early Morning Fight in a Saloon,
and Knife Probably Used.
The Monogram saloon, lit Washing
ton avenue south. was the scene of a
pleasant little scrap about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. John Willis, a
young man employed in the flour
mills, went into the saloon for
a drink. The people at the sa-
loon say that he ordered the
drinks and then refused to pay for
them. Anyhow, he became engaged in
little row with the bartender. The
saloon people say further that Willis
threw a cuspidor at the head of the
man behind the bar. Then a fight fol-
lowed. Willis does not pretend to say
what occurred. He admits that all he
knows about it was that he went
into the saloon for a drink, and
when he next had occasion to
think he was out Oh the sidewalk
with blood in his eyes and policeman
wounds to prove that the blood was in
his eyes. There is deep cut over the
left eye, one under the same eye. and a
cash on the left shoulder blade. DR..
Gibson sewed up the gashes. He thinks
that all the wounds were made by a
knife. He is certain that the one
in the shoulder was, and he
adds that it was fortunate for
Willis that it struck bone,
else it would have penetrated to the
lung. Again the saloon people make a
statement. They say that no knife was
used. They account for Willis wounds
by the assertion that he fell on bottle.
The man who did the cutting has not
know who it was. as the regular bar
tender was not on duty and the saloon
proprietor will say nothing. 1t is said
that the man who was behind bar bore
the Christian name Of Charles. His
surname is unknown.
