HELENA, Mont. Jan. 14-The first week
Of balloting for Montana's next. United
States Senator closes with no decided ad-
vantage to any of the candidates personally,
or to their parties politically. To-day's
vote brought into the field the first dark
horse, in the person of Timothy E. Collins
of Great Falls, democracy's recently de-
feated candidate for Senator. 1t Is recalled
that Powers election three years ago was
due in 20 small degree to the sympathy
aroused by his defeat for Governor at the
preceding election. and many Democrats,
who think that Collins has been somewhat
badly treated by his party at the polls. be-
lieve he is the logical choice for Senator.
His election would be acceptable TO the
Irish wing of the party. but it is not ex-
pected he, or any Que, will Develop any more
strength until the break comes in the Clark
column. It is now generally believed that

If Clark could not be elected his men should
give Hauser chance TO test his strength.
Either Hauser or Collins would probably
carry the full strength of the Democrats in
the Legislature and with one Populist could
be elected. A Populist (Beecher) voted for
Collins to-day, but it Is a question whether
the latter can hold him. The other two
PopuIists still stay by their par,y's candi-
date, Mulville. while Sanders holds the full
Republican strength. No change in the
situation is expected before Tuesday or
Wednesday.

MIR. BLAINE is BETTER,
The Best Day That He Has Had
for Some Time.
1t Was Easier for the Family, Too, and
Some of the Strain of Watch

Special to THE MORNING CALI

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Blaine passed
another uneventful night. DR.. Johnston,
on leaving the house at 6 O'Clock this
morning. said the patient was resting com
fOrtably. and was slightly stronger than
last evening. The physician evaded a di-
rect reply 10 the question whether he con-
sidered Blaine in dying condition by
saying "He is constantly growing weaker;
his condition is susceptible of the slightest
changes, but he aid not seem to be in imme-
diate danger of dissolution" While more
or less nourishment is given Blaine, the doc
tor admitted he was living on stimulants,
and several times his life had been recalled
by the administration of nitro-glycerine,
which in its results surprised even the
physicians. 1t was evident that DR.. John
ston is mystifed at Blaine's wonderful vi
talily.
at 10 O'clock an attendant said Mr..
Blaine had not passed a very good night,
but he seemed a.little better at that hour
He was somewhat restless during the night,
and seems to be slowly losing strength.
even when free from distinctly unfavorable
symptoms.
After the II o'clock call DR.. Johnson said
Blaine was better to-day; fresher and
stronger than yesterday.
This has been good day for Mr. Blaine.
the best he has passed in its entirety for
two days. DR.. Johnston visited the house
at 10 o'clock tonight, remaining only few
moments. He said that Blaine was stronger
than in many days, and had passed an easy,
comfortable day. The members of the fam
lily shared in the Improvement, young James
G. Blaine taking advantage of it TO spend
the evening out. and the young ladies re-
ceivnG at home one or two intimate friends
There were but few callers during the even

was closed up for the night. DIR. Johnston
stated that he would not return during the
night unless sent for, and from indications
he could see no reason for that.

Dr. McGlynn with the church public notice
was given of it, with the statement that
Monsguor Satolli had absolved from Gen.
sure and reconciled DR.. McGlynn. and
moreover that absolution had been given
because McGlynn willingly accepted the
conditions laid down by the Holy Father as
necessary and sufficient.
This information, so expressed. should
have sufficed to satisfy every one with the
reconciliation, but further it is hereby pub
lcly made known that DR.. McGlynn. be-
sides protesting adherence TO all the doc
trines and teachings of the Catholic church,
expressed regret for any word or act of
his that may have seemed lacking in re-
spect due to ecclesiastical authority. FL
nally, DR.. McGlynn, of his own free will.
has declared and promised that he will 60
to Rome in the spirit and intention which
is becoming to good Catholic and priest.
"Then it is well to note how deplOrable 1t
is that this reconciliation should have been
discussed, as it has been in the newspapers,
in such manner that private and lay per-
sons dared to pass upon it harsh reprOach
and i'll considered censure. That any
one should have dared to speak of the
Pope's authority over the church in
utterance was enormously erroneous and
scsndalous. The action Of the church and
of the Holy See in things that belong to it is
superior to every man-made boundary. 1t
is universal and proper to every country In
W hich there may be Catholics, for which
reason it seems TO us exceedingly opportune
to recommend that due respect be given in
every case to ecclesiastical authority, and,
before all to that of the Holy See. as we'll
as TO that of the Council of Baltimore.
"Inasmueh as it is forbidden TO treat ec-
clesiastical matters and questions through
the medium of journalism. much more de-
plorable is it that persons, both ecclesias-
ties and Iaymen, who wish to appear sim
cerely Catholic, make a bad use of jour-
nalism, with violent and meudacious at
tacks. beyond ali bounds of respect and
charity. against venerable prelstes.
whose virtue and learning. whose
recttude of character and unquestoned and
unquestionable love toward the church and
the Supreme Pontif. never unaccompanied
by a sincere love of country, make them
deservedly the objects of the special pre-
dilection of the Holy Father and of univer-
sal esteem and veneration."
NJ. Satolli, papal ablegate, received
to-day the following cable message from
DR.. OConnell. American secretary of the

"The apostolic delegation has been per-

Way Out of 1t, and Then
Shot His Mother.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

CHESTER, Pa, Jan. IA tragedy was
enacted here this afternoon. which will re-
suit in the loss of two lives and in all
probability the conviction Of Thomas
Rodgers as double parricide. Rodgers Is

father, Thomas Rodgers, 60 years old.
his mother. Martha Ann Rodgers,
about the same age, and his married
sister, Mrs. William Kildey. The boys

laziness. declaring that he must go to work.
To this Thomas answered, "You can't put
me out" and going upstairs secured his
brother-in-law's revolver. The wife and
daughter attempted to save Rodgers. but
Thomas deliberately fired two bullets into
his father. The first shot entered the
thigh and the second lodged in the heart.
After his father had fallen to the floor
young Rodgers kicked him in the face. The
mother attempted to escape by the cellar
door. but bullet from her sons revolver
struck her in the back and penetrated her
left lung.
The sister. Mrs. Kildey, fled from the
house and her brother shot her while she
ran in almost the same place as he had
wounded his mother. The bullet glanced
on the shoulder blade and thus saved the
young w0man's life.
With his revolver now empty, the would
be murderer ran up the street to the Alder
mans Office, and, entering, locked the door
against a large crowd which had followed
him. The police we're notified of the tragedy
and Rodgers was locked up.
The three victims were taken to the hos
pita. where the physicians announced that
the wounded father and mother could not
live until morning
Both the parents believe that Tie son in

Young Rodgers himself said that the
attack was the result of family row and
that he intended to kill the old man. he
gave no reason, however, for the assault on
his mother and sister.
There is much excitement 10 the COM
munity, and extra precautions have been
taken by the police to guard against lynch
ing. Rodgers Sr. died shortly after o'clock
tonight.

has been alleged that on the strength OF
these initials Roche received 10000 francs
from Renach. The evidence against Others
who have been accused is said TO be no
stronger than that against Roche.
The evidence against ex-Mnister OF Pub

disposition to lay upon Baihut the chief
responsibility for the disgrace and the loss
to the republic resulting from the Panama
lottery bill. and the prosecution OF the ex-
Minister is TO be vigorously pushed. At
tention is called to the fact that the Gaulois

PARIS, Jan. 14-There is profound relief
in Republican circles over the statement of
Charles de Lesseps, duplicating Arthur
Meyer. editor of the Gaulois, as having re-
ceived 100000 francs from the Panama
Company. This at last brings the Royal
lists into the drag-net and shows what the
friends of the republic have claimed from
the beginning. that Republican officials
and journalists did not have monopoly of
the Panama corruption. The fact that four
Boulangist Deputies are said to be put
under strong suspicion by the evidence
given to Frauqueville is also considered as
strengthening the cause of the republic by
showing the hypocrisy OF those who assail

Sensational Story of a Conspiracy
That Comes From London.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The London corre-

lowing to-day: A significant rumor comes
from the Foreign Office concerning Cath
olic Church affairs. 1t is declared that the
British Minister in Rome has informed the
Government, through Lord Rosebery, that
the Vatican is greatly disturbed over
affairs in the United States. Arch

tanned the plot discovered having as
its basis the separation Of the church in
America from the mother church in Rome
and the creation of an independent body
with a head selected by the American
Bishops. The idea seems TO aim at the
creation Of body similar in some respects
TO the Greek church of Russia.

Corrigan Was Responsible for the
Pope's Speedy Action.


Pope's Speedy Action.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Herald's Rome
correspondent says, regarding the appoint
ment Of Monsignor Satoli as apostolic
delegate, that the immediate reason
Of the Papal action was the ar
lat Rome OF two strong protests
from Archbishop Corrigan against the rein
statement Of DIR. McGlynG, one addressed
70 the Pore and the other to the Propa-
ganda. In each the Archbishop complained
that be had not been notified by Monsignor
Satolli of DR.. McGlynn's restoration till the
fact became public.
These protests were the outcome OF Arch
bishop Corrigan's bitter wrath at the whole
course of the delegate.
Bishop Mcdonnell of Brooklyn shared
Archbishop Corrigan's views and was mis-
taken enough to write Roman friend that
Monsignor SatolIi was an Italian intruder
who would be driven back to Europe.
The collapse 8f ihe C0rrigan party Is
complete. One result may be the elevation
Of Archbishop Ireland to the cardInalate,
and another will be. perhaps, the resigna-
tion Of Archbishop CorrigaD. or the ap-
pointment Of Coadjutor Bishop fOT New

Der Of them are said to be in the hands Of
a man named Dreing of San Francisco.
The result was that Archbishop Riordan
was notified and advised to recover
the documents, OF which wrong
use might be made.
Dreng himself. 1t is said. wrote to Arch
bishop Riordan to say that he held the
papers and was willing to give them up on
certain terms.
This Archbishop refused to negotiate with
him, and applied to the San Francisco DO
lice but was informed that they could not
recover the letters unless he placed a money
value on them and would 90 into court,
where the contents would be mad public.
