LEO TO HIS PRELATEs.
Christmas Greeting from the Holy
Father to Ecclesiastfcs.

Christmas Greeting from the Holy
Father to Ecclesiastfcs.
ROME. Dec. 23.-The Pope to-day gave
audience to the cardinals, prelates and
bishops in the throne room Of the Vatican.
The usual Christmas greetings were ex-
changed, the distinguished ecclesiastics be-
ing presented through Cardinal Monaco La
ValIetta, dean OF the Sacred College. The
reply Of the Holy Father to the address of
the prelates contained no direct reference to
Anarchists, though it was expected that the
Pope would declare himself very strongly
on this subject. During the course of his
remarks the Pope said:
I'm conformity with your wishes we ar
cessors were, minister and messenger OF
peace to Europe and the world. We are its
authorized jealous defender because peace
among individuals and among society Is
the daughter of justice, which, according
to holy writ. lives by faith, and the supreme
priesthood of Christianity being the guar
dian OF faith and the defender of justice is
invested with aposteship for unity and
peace This apostalate must be given free
dom of action and its words must be ac-
cepted without suspicion and carried home
70 the hearts OF private citizens and govern
ments. Then tranquility will flourish again.
the sight OF heaven had been lost we must
not despair. Days of rest are returning
through the religious awakening of the peo-
pie. for. at a moment marked by misery,
germs of faith will revive, for Christ will
not abandon the humanity He redeemed"

A DEBT, NOT A CHARITY.
Contention of Counsel for Judge Long
I'm the Pension Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-Arguments In
the application of Judge Long. of Michigan.
for mandamus TO compel the Commits
sioner Of Pensions to restore his former
pension rating were concluded in the Dis
trict Supreme Court to-day. The closing
argument was made by attorney Fred A.
Baker. of Detroit, Mich. in behalf Of Judge
Long. The argument was largely technical.
He. however, characterized the policy Of the
present administration of the Pension Bu-
reau as scandalous and shameful The Com
missioner. he said, acted not only hastily
but unlawfully. He referred to rule 81 of
the pension regulations, prohibiting suspen-
sion without sixty days notice. which he
argued had been overlooked by the Com
missioner. He explained that manda-
mus had been asked on Commissioner Loeb
rem instead of the pension agent at Detroit
because the latter was not within the juriS-
diction of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict OF Columbia He contended that there
cases like that OF Judge Long, and that
there had been no due process of law taken
IN his clients case. He scored the Com
missioner for his statement that q person
IN accepting a pension accepts it as a char
1ty. 1T Is debt" said counsel, land IL is
not intended that one man shall have the
power to cut off a pension. There is no
doubt that the action OF the bureau in sus-
pending pensions shocked the morals OF the
country. The act passed by Congress on
Thursday providing against suspension
without thirty days notice was due to the
lawless acts OF the present Commissioners"
A tilt took place between the counsel at
the conclusion OF the argument. Assistant
Attorney general Whitney asserted that the
opposition had CARRIED the reading of a
clause qualifying pension rule Mr. Baker
yetorted quite sharply and attorney Hop
kins rose and remarked that he was sur
priSed and sorry that counsel for the COM
missioner had felt much Ill will to the
opposing counsel and had accused them OF
speaking falsely as well as OF garbling
rules The court was then adjourned 10
next Tuesday, when Justice Bradley will
probably render his decision. Whatever the
decision may be it is expected that an APP
peal to the Supreme Court OF the United
States will be taken.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 23.-Within the
past twenty-four hours three deaths have
occurred in this vicinity from starvation.
The names Of the victims are:

MARY WEISSMAN, daughter OF Henry
Weissman, of Allegheny. aged three years.
MRS. BICEA ARTHUR, a widow. aged
fifty years, died yesterday at Homestead.
In the case of Dominick 1t was developed
at the coroner's inquest that he. with about
forty others. Hungarians, Italians and Aus
TRANS, lived together, each man doing his
own cooking. Dominick had not worked for
two months, and for days at time he
would have nothing to eat. On Thursday
he procured some putrid fish, and in his
half-starved condition, ate of it raycnous-

was rendered.
| The little Weissman girl had been sick for
a week, but the parents could not provide
proper food and medical treatment and it
was only when the child died that The neigh
bors learned how distressed the family was.
The other children, older than the one who
died, were found to be suffering from
hunger.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-There are sew
eraI Indiana Democratic office seekers who
anxiously expected Santa Claus Cleveland
to give them slight token OF his esteem
in the way of federal patronage. But while
Democratic friends at home are eating
turkey, oysters and other festivities The
discOnsolate Democratic Hoosier office
seeker will seat himself at a Washington
lunch counter and wrestle with ham
sandwich. and fondly hope that when
Cleveland has gorged himself with holiday
delicacies he will get up with more
grateful appreciation Of the men who
shouted for him six long months of last
year, and, about this time a year ago, were
buoyed to the seventh heaven of delight
by his prospective Inauguration.
Among the Indiana watchers on the
White House lawn there is none who will
cast more longing eyes at the White House
kitchen and the feast spread therein than
that patient and long-suffering individual,
Con Cunningham, of Charlottesville 1t
IS now precisely year ago since Cunning
ham came here I'm search of a consulate.
Every day, with few exceptions, rain or
shine, he has walked under the porte Co
chere Of the White House, sometimes go
ing In, but oftener sauntering over TO the
State Department to buttonhole Gresham.
He is apparently as far from the realization
OF his hopes to-day he was a year ago,
but shows no inclination TO leave.
Benjamin +. Havens, OF Terre Haute, has
gone home for Christmas. He was here
few days ago for his Christmas present
the Manchester consulate-but was given
such plain hint that he wasn't in it that
he didn't tarry. The fact is, voorhees, and
the Indiana Congressman have been string
ing Havens. They never were for him.
One DIR. Smith, of Rushville, a dapper
little fellow, is haunting the capital again
He came Just after inauguration and wanted
Kris Kingle Holman TO secure him the CHIEF
of the dead letter office. Holman prom
ised, but he has not made the Doctor happy
yet. j. j. ZinZich. of Evansville, is also here
looking for the steamboat inspectorship.
The list here is small compared with the
disappointed ones at home. Jerome Hern.
of Peru. was TO have been given consul
late long before the holidays. Leroy Wade,
OF Poseyville, was to have been made As
eistant Attorney-general: Dick Johnson, of
Richmond. was to have had the assistant
register of the treasury at his disposal. The
list would not be complete without naming
Zollinger, of Fort Wayne, who has been
writing saucy letters to McNagny inquiring
why that pension agency for Indiana was
not forthcoming. There viii be many aching
hearts among the Hoosier Democracy this
Christmas. in striking contrast with the ex-
nltant hopes Of year ago.

Jose Cedina Also Tells of His Share in
the Conspiracy to Kill Gen. Martinez
Campos at Barcelona.
LEO'S CHRISTMAS GREETING

senger of Peace to the World.
Whip" Wentworth PauPs Suicide Due
TO Temporary insanity Caused by
Losses at the Worlds Fair.

BARCELONA, Dec. 23.-Jose Cedna, the
Anarchist who has already confessed that
he threw the bomb that caused upward of
thirty deaths In the Liceo Theater, has
made further confession giving details Of
the crime. He says that he was selected
of an Anarchist group to assassinate Gen.
Martinez De Campos in September last.
He, in company with two or three COM
rades. including Pallas, went to view the
march past of the troops it being his in
tention TO then assassinate General De
Campos, who the reviewing officer.
He took a position from which it would
have been an easy task TO have carried out
his project, but when the troops arrived
his courage failed. The reason for this he
says, was that he realized that If he threw
a bomb amid the vast crowd that
rounded General De Campos he would have
killed wounded hundreds Of persons.
He had the bomb ready to throw. but the
thought of the many innocent persons that
would suffer restrained him from throwing
it. Pallas, as the time set for the assas-
sination drew near, urged Cedina to throw
the bomb. Seeing that Cedina hesitated,
Pallas angrily snatched the bomb from
him saying: You're no good" Pallass
nerves were evidently unstrung by the
wrangle, and for a time he hesitated to
throw the bomb that he had seized. Had
he thrown it as he originally intended, he
would have killed General De Campos, but
the delay, which allowed the crowd surg
ing about the reviewing stand to grow
thicker, saved the life OF the General Pal
las, when arrested and until his execution,
insisted that he alone responsible for
the attempted assassination. and despite
the close questioning by the authorities he
never by a word betrayed that Cedina or
any one else had anything TO do with the
crime. 1t this fact that made him
the hero In the eyes of Anarchists who
knew all the facts. His stoicism and will
ingness TO accept the death rather than
to betray his comrade, led Cedina to de-
terrnine that he would give effect to Pal
lass threat that his execution would be
avenged. Shortly after Pailas shot al
Mount Juich, Cedina began his prepara-
lions to avenge his comrades death, and
the explosion at the Liceo Theater fol-
lowed.
The researches of Prefect Larroet have
resulted in the discovery of another An
archist laboratory and the seizure Of forty
pear-Shaped bombs, each weighing two
kilos. The authorities have also seized a
quantity of nitroglycerine and other
plosives, in addition to a stock of fulminat-
ing caps and books on chemistry. Another
laboratory OF the Anarchists has been dis
covered at Montague Vallvidrera. a village
near this city. An Anarchist named CereZ-
uelo. who was arrested at ,ldesca and
brought to the fortress here. is reported to
have confessed his completely in the Liceo
Theater outrage.
