CANADIAN CATHOLICS TICKLED.
Enthusiastic Over the Election of Hop
kins as Mayor of Chicago.

MONTREAL, Dec. 22.-The FIench-Canad-
ian Catholic press of Montreal and Quebec
is very enthusiastic over the election Of
John Hopkins. the Catholic Mayor of Chi
cago. Prominent French Canadians in Chi
cago telegraphed Senator Tasse that 5000
French Canadians voted for him and
sured his election La Minerve adds that
the election of Catholic in Chicago is, a
great event. 1.-The position of the Mayor
of Chicago" it says, lis equivalent to that
of many leaders of States. seeing that the
city expends $3S,OOO,OOO annually as much as
the whole of Canada Though the late Mr.
Harrison did much to give the Catholics
their due share of patronage, much still re-
mains to be done. II would be a mistake"
says La Minerve, Ito believe that the
United States is tolerant enough for Catho-
lies. They merely have the crumbs OF pat
ronage. This is quite evident when We
remember that the ten millions of Catho-
lies in the United States have not a single
representative in the Cleveland Cabinet.
though IL owes its existence TO them. We
are far from being of the opinion of his
Iordship. Mgr. Ireland, when he lauds the
United States as being the ne plus ultra of
tolerance and Christian civilization, but
when our neighbors break down the bar
riers of prejudice and initiate the example
of the Catholics of Maryland we will be
happy to appreciate their improvement. and
we may hope that at not a distant date a
new era will dawn for our coreligionists on
the other side of the border"

MAVERICK ATE ARSENIC.
Evidence That the Baroness ROques
Relies on TO Free Her Daughter.

LONDON, Dec. 22.-In interview with
the solicitor of the Baroness Roques the
lawyer said that fresh and sensational ev-
idence had been discovered in favor of Mrs.
Maybrick, and that urgent means were
being taken to induce Right Hon. Henry
Asquith, Secretary Of State for Home AZ
fairs, to open an independent inquiry into
the circumstances Of the case Under its
new developments. The y-dscovered
evidence comes from the captain of Hal
flax. N. S., ship, who has been away at
sea, and who is only able to give his
testimony The captain was intimate with
Mr. Maybrick. the deceased husband Of
the American lady now undergoing sentence
of Imprisonment for life after being con-
victed of his murder. According to the
captain, the latter often saw the deceased
put a white powder into the food which
he was cooking on an oil stove at his office
in Halifax. The captain thought that the
white powder was some peculiar kind OF
pepper and questioned the deceased about
it. but the latter said that It was arsenic.
Thereupon the captain says he exclaimed {:
Good God, why that is deadly poison" To
this Mr. Maybrick is said TO have answered
You must have something to keep your
self up. | take enough to kill you" The
solicitor of the Baroness refuses at present
to reveal the name of the sea captain WHO
has furnished this, apparently, very impor-
tant testimony.
