BRIESE'S PETITION.
He Wishes the side Entrance to all
Churches Closed.

San Francisco April 22.--The petit
ton of Robert Briese, the saloon keeper
who wants the side entrances to. all
churches closed, lounges removed from
churches and ministers to be licensed,
came up before the board of supervis-
ors today. Briese was present with an
attorney to urge the passage of an ordi-
nance carrying out his recommends
lions. The supervisors were inclined
to look upon the matter as joke, but
Briese was serious. The recent horror
in Emanuel church inspired Mr.. Briese
to make his remarkable petition, but
the supervisors did not see the matter
in the same light, and lectured the sa-
loon keeper for his temerity in making
such proposition. The petition was
referred to the waste basket

John L. Sullivan distinguished himself
as life-safer this afternoon. Just be-
fore o'clock he heard woman scream
in the rear of the house in which he
was stopping. He ran down the stair
way and saw there was a fire in the
kitchen and Mrs. Margaret Donnell,
the cook, was in danger of beng burned
to death, her clothing having been ig-
nited from the stove. He quickly
wrapped big mat around the woman
and succeeded in extinguishing the fire.
She was badly burned, but the chances
are favorable for her recovery. Johns
hands were burned in several places,
and he was obliged to call on doctor,
but the wounds are not serious.

A Perfect Protection.

Philadelphia, April 23.-Plans of a
scale that it is claimed will be perfect
and economical protection against the
robbery of gold coin and bullion from
the vaults of the federal government
have been submitted to Treasurer
Bigler, of the United States subtreasury
in this city. In the United States
treasury the coin and bullion are kept
in bins much like those used to store
wheat in. If the scale submitted to
Treasurer Bigler were in use by the
federal government, the scoop would
form the floor of the bin, and the finely
graduated beam supporting the scoop
would indicate accurately the amount
of money in the vault and would show
the removal of even single dollar.
An electric system attached to the beam
indicates and records any attempt to
tamper with it.

MORE TROUBLE IN ARMENIA.
Another Massacre Prevented by a Turk

London, April 18.-The Daily Tele-
graph has a dispatch dated Hassank-
aleh, April 8, via Kars April 10, which
says that owing to the representations
of the powers, the porte has been TAX
ing energetic measures which, as has
been proved, have prevented series OF
massacres The Christians in Erzeroum,
the dispatch says, were Reconstruction
the night Of the I'd inst, on account of
a report that more than a hundred
Turkish soldiers had attempted to leave
their barracks and begin butchering the
Christian inhabitants. The report was
true, and massacre was prevented
only by the action of the commander
of the garrison, Shah Pasha, who at
the first sign of an outbreak ordered
the troops to return to their quarters
Immediately. The command was not
obeyed, whereupon Shah Pasha ordered
volley to be fired by the troops who
remained faithful, and thirteen of the
recalcitrants were shot dead on the
spot. Precautions against a massacre
have been taken throughout the prov
ince, but a sense of insecurity prevails.

ROME'S THUNDERBOLT
Stand Taken on the School
Question in Canada.
POPE HAS GIVEN EXPRESSION
Accommodation for Catholics who
Give Aid to Those Who Would
Abolish Parochial Schools.

Winnipeg, April 18.-Nothing since
struggles III this country has created q
greater sensation than the announce
ment of the Catholic archbishop that
those Catholics who henceforth lend
their aid and influence to those who
would abolish Catholic parochial
schools will be communicated. A
number of prominent Catholics have,
during the struggle of the church, ex-
pressed themselves in favor of ma
tional school system.
At first it was thought to be move
on the part of the archbishop, and
done without authority of Monsignore
Satolli or the pope, but today it was
learned Archbishop Langivin's action
is based on advices from Rome. 1t is
understood the archbishop last week re-
ceived papal encyclical on the sub
iect This reviews the school matter,
and points out that the case in the
United States and Canada is not anal
agous. In Canada, and particularly in
Manitoba, it points out that Catholic
schools were guaranteed by treaty and
constitution, while no such guarantee
was given in the United States. The
parochial schools belong to Manitoba
Catholics by right of treaty, it declares,
and on this ground affirms that the
Catholics who continue to lend their
aid to those who would take away these
rights shall not be received into COM
munion with the church. Archbishop
Langivin, speaking on the matter, was
emphatic. These were his words:
THE hierarchy of the Catholic
church has spoken. All those who do
not follow the hierarchy are not Cath
olics When the hierarchy has spoken,
there is no use for any Catholic to say
the contrary, for, if he does, he is no
longer a Catholic. Such a man may
carry the title, butt declare this as
an archbishop-I say, and say it with
plain authority, a Catholic who does
not follow the hierarchy on the school
question is no more Catholic. And
who will be the one to entitle such a
one to the name of Catholic? Where
is the society which will give him au-
thority to call himself a Catholic, when
l, in my authority as a Catholic bishop
declare that such man has no right to
the name? Let us repeat: The Cath
Ole hierarchy has not the slightest de-
sire to govern the country, as has been
freely and falsely charged, for we are
bound by the law, and will submit to
the law, as every one else must. In
God we trust-that is our motto. We
stand by the constitution of the conn
try, but we will have no Goddess
schools"
1t is reported that meeting of Cath
Ole dignitaries will soon be held in
New York city to discuss and take
some action on the Manitoba school
question. The church in Manitoba is
expecting some aid in their church
affairs in the United States, and, al
though Monsignore Satolli's jurisdic-
ton may not extend to Manitoba, it is
understood Catholics here think he will
throw his influence in their behalf.

WINDING ROPES FOR MINES.

Belgian Makers Are Turning Them Out
of Great Strength and Mt Low Cost.
In the Complies Rendus an account
is given of some fiat winding ropes
made by Belgian machine builders for
use in the deep collleries Of the Mons
and Charleroi districts. The largest of
these Is intended to lift a load of six
and one-half tons, made up Of three and
one-half tons weight Of cage and six
tubs and three tons net load of coal
from depth of 1900 metres 1887
feet. The ropes are made of Manila
aloe fibre of a fiat section, with ten
strands tapering in breadth and in
thickness. The average weight per
metre is II Kilograms (24,2 pounds),
giving for the length Of 1850 metres a
weight of 14,S5 tons for each rope The
working strain will be 80 Kilograms
per square centimetre $3.50 pounds per
square inCh) at the thick and 40 kilo-
grams Q,564,5 pounds per square inch)
at the thin end. The winding engines

at four atmospheres boiler pressure,
and to be capable Of bringing the load
from the bottom Of the mine to the
bank in 65,4 revolutions These are the
first 10-stranded ropes that have been
made in aloe fibre, and it is expected
that their life will be about two years.
Flat steel ropes are also in use at what
is known as the Providence pit in the
Charleroi district of Belgium. These
are made Of eight parallel four
stranded ropes tapered by reducing the
number of wires in the strand from IL
to II and 10, according to position. The
breadth of the rope varies from 200
millimetres as inches) at the thick to
ITO millimetres (6.6 inches) at the thin
end, and the average weight is 1914
Kilograms (27 pound9 per metre. The
winding engines at this pit handle a
gross load of 121a tons, 61a tons for the
cage and IL tubs and 6 tons of coal,

This rope lasts only twelve months.

making bodies. or course It can not
escape the discussion of political ques-
lions, but 1t approached them as farm
ers, and not as political partisans." In
an editorial on the same meeting, the
Southern Cultlvator said: "a distinc-
tive and promising feature of the Farm
ers National Congress Is that it is tru-
ly, in form and essence, national and
non-partlsan. Sectional lines cannot
be drawn, partlsanship has no place in
its action, the unit labors for the good
of the whole" The Farmers Call pro-
nounced that meeting "the most i'm
portant agricultural meeting of the
year." and said: THE delegates came
from Montana tn Florida and from
Texas to Maine. Such a body Of men,
pledged against political action, was
perforce actuated by patriotic motives,
and 1t is no surprise that the deliber-
ations of the congress were character
lied by high tone and distinguished
by patriotic motives" The statement
of the Indiana Farmer that Legislators
often declare that they are ready to
legislate for the farmers If they knew
what the farmers want, and they seem
ready to take the resolutions adopted
by this body as representing the
wishes Of a majority of the farmers"
and Of the Texas Farm and Ranch that
ut is expected that the wishes of the
great farming masses will be made
known through this Farmers National
Congress" is doubtless true, and there
fore the action taken by 1t at its last
meeting is not without interest. 1t
adopted resolutions in favor of silver
coinage by international agreement,
but voted down several resolutions in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver; 1t adopted a resolution in
favor Of the voluntary arbitration Of
labor disputes; in favor Of the protec-
ton OF farm products while manufac-
tured products are protected; declaring
that the interests of railroads and farm
ers are identical, and denouncing the
attitude of certain demagogues and
farmers toward railways; heartily fav'
oring rural free mail delivery; calling
for the severe restriction Of immigra-
grafton; urging farmers to attend
primary political meetings; condemn
ing the liquor traffic; urging farmers
to work to secure reform in the assess
ment Of property for taxation; and ask
ing for laws to compel the branding of
all adulterated food products. Two
things were very noticeable through
out the sessions of the congress-ab-
sence of the feeling that the farmer Is
poor, down-trodden, abused creature,
and an anxiety that the congress should
lose no opportunity to express itself
in favor of law and order.
Having made the Farmers National
Congress national, its officers propose
to enlarge its scope by admitting about
three hundred honorary delegates, hav-
ing all the privileges Of the congress
except voting. Ten honorary delegates
will be sent by each of the following
bodies to the next annual meeting: The

AN UNIQUE UNDERTAKING.
A Pluoky Kansas Widow WIN Try to
Save Women Outlaws,

little widow who has taken upon her
SET the task of retaining the female
outlaws Of Oklahoma, started Sunday
night from Wichita, Kan, for Phila-

eastern women In her work. She will
appeal principally to societies of Quak-
ers She will also visit Attorney Cen
eral Harmon to lay the case before him,
as she claims that female OUTLAWS are
made through the hectoring Of the
army Of deputy United States marshals
that Rre continually riding the terri
tory hunting for criminals. These men,
she says, receive as compensation for
their services the costs allowed by law,
and 1t is therefore, to their interest
to make as many arrests as possible,
When Shey cannot get the criminals
they arrest their friends for harboring
them o. otherwise prosecute them. The
result Is that young country girls fire.
quently resist the officers and the act
makeS them outlaws, Once proclaimed
outlaws, they become desperate, and
not lnfrequently help the actual out
laws in order to spite the officers that
have prosecuted them. AS evidence Ct
this Mrs, Bronson says that female
outlaws exist only where United States
deputy marshals have the execution Of
the laws, There are now seven feIuale

are called, in the federal jails of OKLA

told her story to Mrs. Bronson, who
lives at Woodward, Kan, and it was
80 touching that Mrs, Bronson decided
to investigate several cases, and found
all of them of similar origin, their
trouble being traced directly to the
hectoring tendencies Of the deputy
marshals. She proposes to expose the
matter, or, as she expresses it, to turn
the searchlight on the government
system of executing law in Oklahoma.
II am unknown" she said, land there

interest the women of the east in the
matter, and by their influence secure
at least an investigation Of the work Of
the deputy marshals" Mrs Bronson
is a little woman, with a good deal Of
grit" She is educated and refined,
She does not recommend religion as a
means of retaining the outlaws.
"They felt that they have been driven
beyond the pale of the law by the dep
utles," she says, "and when they find
out that the government will show an
inclination to stop the prevailing meth
cd of breeding outlaws among the
young women of Oklahoma they will
then be reclaimed Of their own desire,
