Italy and the Pope.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The representa-
tive in Rome of The United Press tele-
graphs that doubt which was felt al
FIRST regarding the honesty of premier
Crispi's speech at Naples still continues.
The Pope thought that speech was
made with the intention Of drawing
from the Vatican an expression of the
views entertained regarding the ques-
ton of a reconciliation, and, therefore,
issued instructions to all officials of the
Vatican to maintain the strictest re-
serve on that subject. The Catholic
press also was advised to leave the
matter untouched. A person closely
connected with the papal household
says that Signor Crispi, finding that a
tendency towards a impeachment ex-
listed between France and Germany and
the Vatican feared the isolation of
Italy, and, therefore, sought a recon-
Citation with the Vatican. He has
been given to understand that the first
result of such a step will be the re-
stitution of Rome to the Pope.
The Vatican has gone to the length of
stating that no dealings will be had
with the Quirinal until the day when
the court and government vacate Rome.
When Signor Crispi found that his over
lures had resulted in failure he receded
from the position he had taken and re-
sumed his old attitude of hostility to-
wards the Vatican. The church off.
Gals are %contending that this consti-
tutes a moral victory for the Pope. Car
dinal Rampallo, papal Secretary of
State, has expressed joy that the Crispi
intrigue has been defeated.

TEXAS BLooDHoUNDs.-Mr. Edward
Albright, of Houston, Tex, is in St
ST. Louis with a pack of bloodhounds
which be will exhibit at the fair in DC
tober. Mr.. Albright also has with him
a number of ~veracious and interesting
chronicles anent the perspicacity of his
dogs and their relentless pertinacity in
pursuing and annihilating the fugitive
criminal.
There are numerous varieties OF man
hunting dogs, and countless tales have
heen told of their wonderful staying
qualities and their ferocity. Mr.. AL
bright says his dogs are of the Redbone
stock, so called probably because they
have Sorrento pink noses. 1t was Q
brace from his kennel that hunted the
bandit, Bill Dalton, to his lair, only tc
be shot down and sent to their long re-
pose by the inconsiderate and red-hand'
ed rufian. One has o record OF two
criminals caught and slain before the
men in the chase could save the fugi-
tives. In each case, when the human
auxiliaries arrived, the fugitive was
gasping his last and the hounds fangs
were buried in his jugular VEN and ca
rotid artery. :.
The dogs are not to be thrown off the trail
by crossing water, Mr.. Albright says, as
they pick up the trail on the other side and
follow it to the end. The steel rails of . rail-
road track are apt to battle them. however.
The trail of a criminal need not be fresh for a
Redbone dog to collar it and run down the
fugitive and it makes no difference how
much it is crossed. Mr.. Albright has among
the dogs he will exhibit at the fair, two
that have taken a trail forty-eight hours old.
This, as hunters of the deer and fox will at
test, is better than sporting dogs can do in the
woods. The owner of the remarkable AMI
mails says he will forfeit $1,000 if they
do not do all that he claims for them. He be-
lieves he can put them on a trail twelve hours
old and they will follow it all over st. Louis
in the most populous portions of the city and
overtake the person who made it. If this
test is made tho feelings of the testee will be
spared unnecessary liberation by the knowl-
edge that the dogs will be held in leash. and
not turned loose to slaughter him at the end
of re chase. Mr.. Albright is confident his
dogs could rave caught Myers. who murdered
his wife and escaped, and Wolgamott, who
eluded the the police for twenty-eight hours.
and was then found dead by his own hand
opposite the Four Courts, near the woman he
murdered.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

SAToLLI,s POWER SUPREME.-Bishop
Keane, of the Catholic University of
America, gave the information on Sat
urday as a result of his recent audi
ences with the Pope, that the latter
would, in the encyclical letter soon to
be issued, set forth for the first time
certain important engagements in the
functions, authority and dignity Of the
Apostolic Delegation in the United
States, over which Mgr. Satolli pre-.
sides. Bishop Keane says the Pope is
impressed with the desirability of es-
tablishing the papal legation here on
q basis commensurate with the extent
and character of the country. 1t is
probable that the jurisdiction will be so
enlarged that the Ablegate's authority
will be supreme in this country and not
subject to appeals to Rome.
Concerning the permanency of Mgr.
Satolli in America Bishop Keane says
the Pope is thoroughly pleased with
the Ablegate's work here, as he shares
in every particular the personal views
of the Pope on great church and na-
tional questions. His recall would
only be in order to confer added digni-
ties upon him, and his successor would
share the Monsignor's views in every
particular on questions of policy. 1t
would be so difficult. however, for an
other Ablegate TO be chosen who so
nearly reflects Pope Leo's desires that
Bishop Keane regards Mgr. satolli as a
permanency.
Bishop Keane said that he read with
regret an article by Bishop Spalding in
the current North american Reutew, as
cribing the growth of the a. 2. A.
movement to discomfort over the ap-
pointment of Mgr. Satolli as Ablegate.

A 81, 500, 900 FIRE.-The most disas-
trous fire in the history of Portland,
Gree, broke out yesterday afternoon in
the dock of the Pacific Coast Elevator
Company and ragged for three hours,
destroying property valued at nearly
81, 800, 900. All day long q heavy wind
had been blowing and nine alarms had
been turned in. When the engines ar
rived the fire was beyond control, and
in half an hour from the time it started
the docks for half q mile were on fire.
Nothing could be done but to let the
fire burn itself out. The coal bunkers
of the North Pacific Terminal Compa-
nv, on the west, were attacked and
0 were a seething mass of flames.
On the east was the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company's wharf, 400
feet in length, and this, too, was soon
on fire. There was no means of get
ting water on the fire except from the
river, and the firebcat is an %improvised
old scow and OF very little service. The
elevator contained nearly half a million
bushels of wheat, The new plant of
the Portland and General Electric
Company, which had just arrived from
Lynn, Mass, was badly damaged. Two
hundred freight cars, so of which were
loaded, were destroyed. The Oregon
Railway and Navigation docks held
1900 tons OF freight, consisting of wool,
salmon, general merchandise and &C.
ment, all of which was destroyed with
the dock. There were stored on the
dock about $1,000 cases of salmon from
the lower Columbia river and Puget
Sound, awaiting shipment for the East,
and valued at about $4,000. The
large steamboat Willamette Chief was
burned. Three men are supposed to
have persisted in the elevator.
