the United States, announcing the absolute

of appeal to the Pope. show that there is no

1t was stated at the Vatican that the Pope
will not again address the American bishops
on Mgr. Satolli's mission, which, it was
added, has already been sufficiently explained
in the published pontifical documents. The
Popes only present project is to publish, at
an indefinite date, a pontifical letter, e3hort-
ing the American episcopate in favor OF the
Catholic University at Washington and ad-
vocatirg sending as many students as possible

Four Murders About watermerons.

MAGNOLIA, Ark, Sept. IA sensational
tragedy occurred near Dykesville, La, a
small town just across the Arkansas State
line, yesterday. Clinton Thompson, farmer,
has fine melon crop The raids of the boys
became so frequent that the old man decided
to put stop to the depredations. He put
poison in some of the finest melons and
awaited the results. Yesterday morning his
son, Felix, George BRIGGS, a neighbor's son,
and a man named Jacob Muir were found
dead in the patch.
The neighbor whose son was among the
victims was the first to discover the dead
bodies, and called Thompson out to show
him the corpses. When BRIGGS saw that
Thompson had poisoned t4e melons and
caused the death of his son, ne drew a re-
volver and shot him dead BRIGGS escaped.

NOW FOR THE MANUFACTURERS.

Contractors VIII Make Common Cause
With the Tailors Against Them.
NEW YORK, Sept. THE Contractors
Mutual Protective Association was in session
all the forenoon. 1t was apparent that they
were rot all disposed TO give the bonds re-
quired by the striking tailors. Secretary
Witkowsk, of the association, admitted that
some of the members objected to giving bonds.
The association will not adjourn until they
have agreed upon some plan for united action.
They have issued a circular to the manu-
facturers which practically admits that they
have acceded to the demands of their former
workmen. and asking them to aid them flnan-
cially by raising their own scale of prices. If
the manufacturers do not do so it is probable
that the contractors will join hands with their
old employees in war upon the manufac-
turers.

dreadful sufferings experienced few days

The fishing fleet was out at sea when ter

for shelter. Eight Of them lost their bearings
and ran on the Noerpes Islands, where the
tremendous seas soon pounde them to pieces.
As the seas swept over the wrecked fishing
