A ROMAN STORY DEN1ED.-Inquiries
made at the Vatican yesterday in re-
gard to the statement published by a
news agency, saying that the Pope is
preparing an encyclical letter to be ad-
dressed to the bishops and people of
the United States, announcing the alb
solute supremacy of the apostolic dele
gate in church matters in the United
States, show that there is no truth in
the story and that the Pope will not
again address the American bishops on
Mgr. Satolli's mission. The Pope's
only present project is to publish, at an
indefinite date, pontifcal letter e1-
horting the American Episcopate in ia
vor of the Catholic University at Wash
ington and advocating sending as many
students as possible to that institution.

was seized, and the paper suppressed
by one of them, and burned and totally
DESTROYED by another.

DURING the time the republican par
ty had control of the government it
increased the expense of conducting
it from sixty million year to half a
billion. AS all of this immense sum is
raised by taxes exacted of the people,
some of them at least may have an
idea of the cost of the luxury they have
elioved. And yet there are people,
and, what's more, poor people in the

Monthly Meeting of the Board of Mama

The stated meeting of the managers of
the Board of Trade was held yesterday
morning, and in the absence OF the pres

called the meeting to order. After the
reading and approval of the records,
Hon. W. w. Merrill presented rcsolu-
lions favoring the construction Of ship
channel through the Island of Conanicut
in Narragansett Bay, as asked for by the
Maritime Association of New York,
which after some discussion, were laid
on the table.
The secretary called attention to the
date fixed for the meeting of the State
Board of Trade in this city on the 3Oth
instant. and suggested that the banquet
committee would necessarily have to
limit the number of tickets furnished to
members of our local board SO as not to
overcrowd our guests.
Messrs. Cooling, Smith, Hall and 9th
ers thought. that the banquet committee
should be called together at once, and it
is probable that President Winslow will
call this committee together on Saturday
morning, as several members of the COM
mittee expressed their readiness to be in
attendance then and requested the secre-
tary to SO advise the president. The
meeting then adjourned.

at it, but he afterward ate the leek,

choleric neighbors? 1t was custom to
burn Welshman in efigy on "St. Tavy's

Welshman is the oyster that the pearl

is the confession of his valor, and SO he
prevents quarrels." But 1.-The Welsh are

A ''snow EATER Comes in From the Sea-

who viewed the fog with satisfaction.
The Allan liner Numidian, started
about o'clock for Liverpool via Hall
fax. When she left her dock, the har-
Dor was comparatively free OF fog, but
before she had rounded the breakwater
light the fog shut in with great density.
This left the big steamer in an awkward
position, and might have made 1t bad
for any small vessel trying to get into
the harbor.
Once clear of the harbor the Numidian
cauld take her course and proceed with
assurance. She took large cargo and

passengers.
