The Pontif's {
Message
Made Public by Monsig-
nor SatOlli.
It Deals With the Hierarchy Secret
Fraternities and with the
Divorce Problem.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Nsr.
SaItolli today made public the long
expected eqlcyclical from the pope. The
most important features relate to the
American delegate and his relations
to the hierarchy in this country and
also defining the pope's attitude con-
cerning societies Of working men.
The pope refers to the fact that the
first bishop sent out apostolic author
ity to rule over the American church
began his labors when the great Wash
ington was at the helm of the young
republic. The well known familiar
intercourse between the two meA
seems. to be evidence that the United
States ought to be conjoined in accord
an amity with the Catholic church ex-
tension, and with the clergy. The eS-
tabIishment of pious societies, paro-
chial schools and mutual aid assocfa-
tions are particularly commended. Ihs
pope says that bishops placed in a loe-
ty position of authority are to be
obeyed.
The pope then sets forth the purpose
he has made to leave nothing undons
to preserve and solidly establish the
Catholic religion in America The en-
cyclical refers 10 the indissolubility Of
marriage and the deadly pest OF d.
vorce. The evils Of divorce are forc-
IDLY stated and the pope declares that
divorce is as hostile to the state, a.
to the family.

DEBS DOING BATTLE.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-The first wit
ness placed on the stand by the gov
ernnent in the Debs trial today was
Wallace Rice, reporter for the Chi
cago Herald, and member of the Lo-
cal union, No. 356, A. r. o., at Pull
man. Rice was lead by questions by
tf1e government counsel to relate the
proceedings Of the A, r. u. convention
of June 18th, last. The plan Of the
prosecution being to show that the
conspiracy began at that convention
and every step taken in the convention
was link in the chain OF that con-
spiracy.
Rice said that Debs in his opening
speech at the convention, said the
Union would become SO strong that no
corporation would dare to assail it and
it would be able to dictate it's own
terms. Debs opened the subject on
the part of the union in a speech in
which he denounced Pullman's corpo-
ration as a monumental monstrosity-
an octopus, and said that the time
had come to stop it. He said If any
railroad attempted to enjoin the union
from interfering with the Pullman
cars, the entire system OF that road
would be tied up. On the evening Of
June 26th, the strike was inuagurated
at mass meeting. Debs said the
strike was to be a battle to the death,
and it meant either the determination
of the general managers association
or that Of the union.

MAY PROVE FATAL.

Vallejo, Gail, Jan. 26.-Nava1 Con-
structor S. W. Armistead, in charge
Of the department of repairs at Mare
island, was knocked down by haw-
ser parting at II o'clock this morning
and may die from the effects. The un-
fortunate man was taken to the naval
hospital and Medical Director Woods,
assisted by other surgeons and DR..
Anderson of Vallejo, are now at work
on him. One doctor expressed the
opinion that his skull is fractured and
the patient cannot recover. He has
been insensible since the accident A
large force of men were hauling cais-
son from the front of the dock after
the basin had been flooded for the
Olympia, and to do so had a four-inch
hawser leading from the cassion to
the stern of the Monadnock north OF
the dock entrance. The constructor
and Foreman Laborer Sheahan were
the only ones in range. The heavy
hawser flew back and, striking the
constructor a terrific blow on the lef!
temple, raised him in the air and
threw him violently down on the
stone pavement. Sheahan had piece
of his nose cut off, and was otherwise
bruised.

lis CREELMAN A LIAR !?
Tardy Denial from a
Doubtful Source
Of the Port Arthur AtrOc-
tiles.
This Must Hail From the French
man So Bitterly Scored by
Villiers and Creelman.

VICTORIA, B. g., Jan. 26.-The
Northern Pacific liner "Sikh" arrived
this evening with Yokohama adVices
up to January 18th as follows:
The misconduct of the japanese sol
diers at Port Arthur is still the sub
ject of earnest discussion among ma
tives and foreigners.
A representative Of the French army
who followed the movements of the
Japanese from beginning to end as
serts that after the day on which
Port Arthur was taken he witnessed
no such atrocities as have been pub
licly charged. On October 21st, when
the japanese were in wild excitement
over the mutilations of their comrades,
many unresisting Chinese were killed.
So far as his observation went, there
was no repetition of the murders on
succeeding days.
Until last week an American officer,
who was on the field after the others
had returned to Toxic, had yet to be
heard from. His view of the affair,
as now clearly set forth in private let
ters, entirely fails to substantiate the
accusation that an unrestrained reign
of terror continued three days. He says
there were many atrocities on the day
of battle, but that ended them.

THE U. P. RETALIATES.

Chicago, Jam. 26-The Union Pa
cific has taken a stand that will cause
other western roads no end Of trouble
and it is possible that a hot fight will
arise between it and the lines in the
western trunk line commission. When
the agreement was formed it was
agreed that the Union Pacific should
make no demand for any of the Puget
sound business. The Union Pacific
now asks that it be given a portion Of
the Puget sound business, and has in
tinarted very plainly that if it gets no
share of the Puget sound traffic it will
take steps to prevent an advance i'll
rates. which the other lines had agreed
should take effect ON February 10th.
1t is probable the Union Pacific will
have a big fight on it's hands.

CLEVELAND ENDORSED.
A Strict Party Vote Disposes of the
Hawaiian Question.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Vest sub
stitute on the Hawaiian question in
dorsing the course of the administra-
ton and advising non-interference
was adopted in the senate by vote
of "a to %. The resolution was Of
fered by Vest as an amendment to a
previous resolution on the subject by
Allen, pop, and is as follows: Re
solved, that while the people of the
United States earnestly sympathize
with the effort to establish republican
institutions wherever that effort is
made, they reaffirm the policy of non
interference unless by agreement
with the affairs of other nations and
recognize to the fullest extent the right
Of every people to adopt and main
tanin their own form of government,
unawed and uninfluenced by foreign
dictation. That the administration Of
President Cleveland in maintaining
this policy as to our foreign relations
deserves the approval and support Of
the American people. The vote was
on party lines with the exception of
Pettigrew, rep, Of South Dakota, who
voted with the democrats. By sin
gular coincidence this one vote carried
the resolution, as it would have failed
on a tie had the vote been on strictly
pdII llIltS. 1hlS lSlioh eouoy p1oN-
tically disposes of the Hawaiian ques-
ton in the senate.
= Senator Brice, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on railroads, today pre-
sented report from that committee
concerning the Pacific railroads. The
report is not based on any bill before
congress and makes no direct recon-
mendations, but urges the importance
of taking up the question of Pacific
raod of Indebtedness. 1t says: ''The
United States may at maturity of the
debt proceed to forfeit the charter of
the company and wind up its business,
and take it's chances of recovery of
whatever portion of debts it may be
able to obtain. From what we have
said above we think it sure that the
amount would be very small indeed. 1t
is a question, however, on the whole,
if it might not be the best thing under
the circumstances to do. We think it
clear beyond question that as finan-
cial investment operation of the bond
ed Pacific roads by the government
would be a fiat failure. In case of the
failure of these plans they suggest
that the only alternative would seem
to be 10 refund the Union Pacific debt
FOR a considerable period of time at
a rate of interest commensurate with
the earning capacity Of the road.
''This," says the report, ''is the plan
which has the most favor with finan-
ciers and those who have given this
subject much attention"
In this arrangement two plans have
been suggested: First-The continu-
ance of the sinking fund and the pay
ment into it of larger share of the
net earnings than are at present paid
to it. Standardization payments of
a fixed amount into the United States
treasury until the debt is liquidated.
The committee does not Tor tire pres
ent offer any suggestion as to the relief
to be afforded the Central Pacific.
