FROM POPE LEO.
Special Brief IndOrsing the Catholic
Summer School OH Lake Champlain.

PLATTSBURG, n. Y, July 16.--Mgrs Sa-
TOLL sent a letter to the president of the
Catholic summer school to-day in trans
hitting a special brief to the school from
Leo. XIII. Among other things he says:
Most undoubtedly the institution over
which you preside is in every way worthy
of commentator and encouragement. Be
assured that 1 am ready and willing to
render your Champlain school any service
in my power" The Pope's brief reads:
1T has recently been brought to our
knowledge that among the many move
United States for the increase of religion,
a Catholic summer school, through the CO.
operation of the clergy and laity, estab-
We have also learned that the school has
been affiliated by the board of regents OF
cred to confer degrees upon those who
follow its courses of study. There were
many reasons for founding a school of
this kind; one affecting the good of re-
ligion that Catholics by their union If
thought and pursuits may the more eff
fectively defend the Catholic Church and
from US with regard to Christian faith to
make their peace with her. Another. that
by means OF lectures from learned n,aS teach ,,
be encouraged and promoted and. finally.
that though the principles laid down by
us in our encyclical the condition of
and application the peace and prosperity
of fellow citizens may be secured.
1--WE are aware that bishops have been
the promoters of these things because they
saw that in many ways notable benefits
would result therefrom. Moved neverthe-
less, by our great desire that the best
interests of the people of the United States
may be furthered by the constant addition
of new helps, we pleased to give our
commentator to the trustees of this sum-
mer school and to eXhort them not to de-
sst from the task they have already under
taken but to go forward in it with Drawer
confidence
"Since we have been informed also. that
the third annual session of the school Will
be held, and that bishops, priests and mem
bers of the laity will be present, we SEM
to those who will attend our heartiest greet
ing, praying God to bless their undertaking
and purposes. We trust, venerable brother,
that in this your aid will not be wanting
and that by constant assistance you viii
encourage these assemblies of Catholics and
see that the largest benefits accrue there
from to religion and good citizenship.
MAY the apostolic benediction, which we
impart lovingly, be an earnest Of the many
heavenly blessings with which we pray the
Almighty to reward your soul and the souls
of the bishops, priests and people.

DEBS HAS NOT AIDED THEM.
Three Whiting Strikers Under Ares
Wire Him for Bond.

John Williams, r. F. Glenn and John II.
Hoten, the men arrested at Whiting for
violating the federal restraining order. were
brought to Indianapolis yesterday evening
by Deputy United States Marshal Schooler
The men were formerly employed in the
yards of the Standard Oil Company, at
Whiting. They obeyed the order of Debs
and struck, with thirty others. two weeks
ago. Since then Williams, Glenn and Hol-
ten have been leading the strike. On Sum-
day evening they were put under arrest
by Deputy Marshal Fletcher. He claimed
that they were posting notices appealing
TO men to quit work the right of way
of the Lake Shore road at Whiting. The
prisoners contended that they did not know
why they should be detained. A few min
uteS after the men were turned over to
Marshal Hawkins, one of them asked per-
mission to send a telegram. He was fur
nished with blank and wrote out mes
sage to E. V. Debs. The men stated that
they expected President Debs TO furnish
bond for them, but at o'clock last night
that gentleman had not replied to the tele-
gram and the trio were taken to Jail. They
protest that there has been no violence at
Whiting by the strikers, and say that all
the trouble was created by United States
marshals. They accuse the deputies of tear
ing white ribbons from the persons of labor
sympathzers, and Of Indulging in other
petty annoyanceS.

TO pursue than to confisca:e the plates and
as many of the warrants as could be found.
These warrants were of the exact size of
