driven to the Hayes mansion, in Spiegel

yard at Chestertown. Nd. at 10 o'clock on
the day appointed for the execution. There
was no evidence Of the threatened disturb
ancs about the Jail during the night or

summoned by Sheriff Plummer. These
guards, In twos and threes armed, patrolled
the streets all night and until the execution
took place. An armed guard Of citizans also
remained on duty all night at the Court
house. Unsuccessful efforts were made dur
ing the early morning by the father OF Dr.
Hill and others to obtain confession from
the condemned men. All maintained their
innocence and attempted to throw blame on
other persons. ,,>

Representative in America
A dispatch from Rome says that "the
Pope has decided to establish q permanent
apostolic delegation in tho United States,
and has nominated Monsignor Satolli, who
recsntly went to the Unitet States as the
Papal representative, to be tho first dele
gate.
.rope Leo is said to be greatly interested
in the situation IN America, and des1rous or
putting an end TO the ecclesiastical dthsr-
sncss existing there. With this purpose
tho Pope is preparing an sncyflical to tn :,
American episcopate, advising harmony and
union
Monsignor Satoll, tho Papal ablesate, re-.
ceivsd at the Catholic University, Washing

UConneli, the American Secretary OF the
Propaganda, who accompanied Satolli to
this country, and recently returned to
Rome:
'sThe apostolic delegation is permanently
established in the United States, and you
are confirmed as the first delegate"
Information was also received that the
Raw +. z. Rocker, of Albany, N. Y, had
been formally appointed Secretary OF ths
apostolic delegation, and stating further
that he had left Rome for Now YORK, and
was no doubt the bearer Of the P.pal bull
creating the delegation AMI confirming all
the powers of Monsi.nor Satolh.
Archbishop Satoli cams to this country
as mere Papal representative at tne
Worlds Fair. Suddenly he bscame an
Ableeate, which meant tnat he hal limited
mowers in q few special cases. Now as u
Delegate APOSTOLIC ne takes rank over the
entire hierarchy of the United States.

Delegate he represents the Pops, precisely as
a Minister Plenipotentiary represents MS
country at foreign cour:. AS far as the

erable distance. It was then found that
