SACRED PALLlUM FROM ROME
1t Was Conferred Upon Archbishop Cha
pelle Yesterday.

peHe hesterOhV.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Oct. 1.-THE crown
ing event of the church festivities here
this week occurred to-day, when the Sa-
cred Pallium from Rome was conferred
by Cardinal Gibbons upon Archbishop
Chapelle. The ceremonies took place at
the cathedral and were witnessed by
5000 people. Fully twice that number
thronged the thoroughfares through
which the procession Of prslates AMI
priests passed in going from the archi'
episcopal residence to the cathedral. The
procession was headed by censor, cross
and banner bearers. The illustrious
cardinal. the archblshops and the
bishops were all robed In the vestments
of their sacred function, and each was
accompanied by two priests in his robes
of office, walking on either side and fo!-
lowed by train bearers. There were
twelve prelates In the procession, as fol.
lows: His Eminence, James Cardinal
Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore; Arch
bishop Kain Of st. Louis; Bishop Dono-
hue OF Wheeling, Bishop Hennessey OF
Wichita, Bishop Montgomery of Los
Angeles. Bishop Dunno of Dallas. Bish-
op Gabriels of Ogdensburg, Bishop
Bcaven of Springfield, Mass; Bishop
Dourgade of Tucson, Monseigneur Ste
phan of Washington and Archblshops
Chapelle and SalpOinte Of Santa Fe.
Passing up the main aisle of the great
ediiicc the prelates assumed their re-
spective places with Cardinal Gibbons
and Archbishop Chapelle in their royal
robes occupying the seats Of honor in
plain view of the assembled thousands.
The ceremonies lasted three hours AMI
were most Impressive. The choir music
was a feature. Sermons were delivered
by Archbishop Kain of st. Louis and
Bishop Bourgade of Arizona.
When Cardinal Gibbons arose to con-
fer the sacred pallium the eager interest
Of all was manifested by the profound
silence that prevailed. After paying an
eloquent tribute to the lamented Arch.
bishop Lamy. whom he justly pro.
nounced the pioneer of Christian civilian
ton in the West. he addressed himself
to Archbishop Chapelle. upon whose
broad and eminently worthy shoulders
he placed the sacred robe as an emblem
of the high rank conferred upon him by
the church. Archbishop Chapelle re-
sponded eloquently. At the close Of the
services the procession was reorganized
and the prelates and clergy returned 10
the archbishop's house, where later a
grand dinner was served to several hun
dred distinguished citizens and the visit
ing churchmen.

ENGLAND'S POSITION.
MADE CLEAR TO VENEZUELA
The South Americans Must Rack Down
English Press Com mont ON tho situa-
tion.

London, Oct. 21.-In view of the many
reports in circulation regarding the atti.
tude of Great Britain towards Venezue-
Ia, the following official announcement
was made to-day:
"In consequence of Venezuela not Of
fering an apology or reparation for the
Urban incident, the Marquis Of Sails
bury has taken steps to inform her as
to what reparation Great Britain re-
quires But as the relations between the
two countries have been broken of for
years, the communication was not sent
through the direct diplomatic channel.
"As the document has not reached ita
destination, it is not considered desir-
able to give details of Its contents; but
4 is couched In forcible terms, and
points out that Great Britain will not
permit Venezuela to overstep the bound
aries marked by the courses of the rivers
Cuyum and Amacura, but is willing that
the question Of the other disputed terri
tory should be submitted to arbitration"
London, Oct. 21.-The dispute be-
tween Venezuela and Great Britain,
which has resulted in the sending OF an
ultimatum to the South American re-
public, is much commented upon by the
London press to-day.
The Westminster Gazette this after
aoon says: 'The Nicaraguan incident
turned out to be ridiculously small
affair, and in short time we shall
have made the same discovery in. the
Venezuela matter. Great Britain and
the United States are not going to be
Bet by the ears by pack Of Venezu-
llans.
president Cleveland knows we have
10 intention Of land grabbing in South
America, and the Monroe doctrine has
40 better friend than the old country.
Dur colonial minister, who married an
American, has given tokens Of his
friendship to the United States and its
people, and he is not likely to go out
of his way to get the marquis Of Sails
bury to tread on cousin Jonathan's
eorns.
In due time Secretary Olney will no
doubt tell the Venezuelans that they
cannot expect the United States to es-
pouse a quarrel when they deliberately
presume, on their limited resources, to
attempt to bluff a great power"
The Standard Conservative says:
1.-THE Venezuelan ultlmatum Is unlikely
to lead to doubtful complications. The
convention Of 1850 has been repeatedly
infringed by the Venezuelans in en-
croaching upon soil indisputably Brit
ish. These CALLING and high-handed
acts might have been overlooked had
not the outrages by the Venezuelan
authorities reached lengths no longer
endurable. If such an aggression as
the Urban affair is to be ignored, we
might as well abandon British Guiana.
We shall be surprised IL the responsible
. diplomats Of the United States persist
in maintaining that the Monroe doctrine
has any bearing in the present case"
The Daily Telegraph says: at is diff
hcult to see how Monroism is applica-
BILE to the Venezuelan affair. If the
venezuelans invaded British Guiana
they must either be punished directly
by US or they must be forced by their
assumed protectors in the United
States to respect international laws"

venexueIs Said to Be Preparing to Resist
Encroachments.
New York, Oct. 19.-That the Ven.
ezuelan question is approaching an acute
stage with possibilities Of resistance by
the South American government to
British aggression was signified by dis.
closures made IN New York to-day on
the best of authority. The government
of Venezuela has provided itself with
modern armament and among other sup
plies has ordered ten improved Maxim
guns from the British firm which manu-.
factures them. The order was no,
placed through any firm, and the Eng
Hsh house, 1t Is supposed, does not know
the destination of the guns. At the
same time the syndicate Of United
States capitalists which has secured con.
cessions on the Venezuelan gold land
claimed by Great Britain, is preparing
to send a large force Of prospectors
miners and workmen into the field. VIM
N. Stafford, counsel for the Orinoco com.
pany, the American syndicate, made
plain to-day the position assumed by the
Orinoco company.
1.-THE company" said he, proposes to
work it's concessions without delay. IL
will send prospectors along the line Of
the Imataca Mountains, whose foot bills
are supposed to be rich with gold. That
territory is, Of course, in the company :
concessions and has always been marked
so on the map. But now that there Is
a prospect of gold there Great Britain
claims 1t. Arrangements are being
made to send our men there to develop
the company's concessions without any
intent to start controversy-but to as
sert the company's rights. Besides the
mines there are other properties In the
concessions awaiting development"

Barricades His House and Keeps the
Police at Bay.


Chicago, Oct. 21.-Armed with Win.
chester rifle and a revolver, a madman
defied the police for hours to-day at No.
35 Woodland park, in one of the most
aristocratic residence districts Of the
city. Barricaded and locked in SEC
ond-story room commanding complete
view of the park. the lunatic splintered
DOORS. shattered window-panes and
tore holes in the plaster Of the room
with bullets from his rifle, while he
shouted defiance to the police and others
who had been attracted to the scene.
The insane man was G. s. Merwin OF
the firm Of Rogers, Brown & Co., pig
iron dealers. After seventeen hours OF
effort the police by strategy, surprised
and overcame the madman. Although
he had fired 14O shots from his rifle
and revolver, Merwin injured no one,
but number Of people had narrow es-
capes.
After every other attempt to capture
the insane man before he should kill
some one Or injure himself had failed,
sulphur was burned in the furnace. All
the registers were closed excepting the
one in the room occupied by Merwin.
In an hour after the sulphur fire was
started Merwin, partially overcome by
the fumes, laid down on his bed and
was secured with but feeble resistance.

CAMPoS ALL RIGHT.
Said to Hold All the Important Points In
Cuba.

New York, Oct. 21.-Dr. William
Shaw Bowen writes to the New York
World from this city, where he is stay
ing for few days: ''rhe report from
Cuba that General Campos is insane is
probably unfounded. Its value as news
is on a par with fOur-fifths Of the so
called news of the Cuban rebellion. If
there has been any departure from the
normal in General Campos' condition
the change has occurred since I saw
him last fortnight ago.
To-day Campos controls every sea-
port, every town, every hamlet. every
point Of consequence on the railways,
In fact nearly every cross road In the
district in revolt. He needs more
troops for this policy Of guarding every
important point has fully occupied his
army. The total number Of men in
the Spanish army In Cuba is less than
$4,000. This includes nearly 10000 reg
ular troops, volunteers, civic guards and
guerillas. Considering the difficulties
Of the country a prudent commander
should insist on having at least $4,000
more soldiers. At the present time
Campos is supreme"

in looking after the growing crop 10
observed. Last autumn, because of
drouth. much wheat was sown In the
corn. Where stubble fields were seed
ed but little effort was made to get
them Into proper tilth. In many cases
q harrow was simply run over the
field and this followed by a drill and
the application of about rs lbs Of
cheap fertilizer per acre. Nothing fur
ther was done. Where such methods
were practiced no yields of over SIX
bushels per acre We're reported, some
amounted to only . IL bu., while
many acres We're not harvested at all.
These results certainly emphasize the
axiom that whatever is worth doing
Is worth doing well. for the farmer
who thoroughly prepared his land last
fall is now threshing % to 35 bu.. per
acre. This. too, in the same locality,
and in many instances from an ad-
joining farm. If prices do not justify
good farming turn the farm into pas
ture and go gardening on few acres,
but do the gardening well.-C. e.

Pennsylvania Coal Miners.

Johnstown, Pa, Oct. 21.-The mining
situation in the mountain region e1-
tending from this city to Altoona Is not
nearly SO serious as reported. From
authentic sources it is learned that
about 10000 men are out, and at least
1000 are working. On the Crescent
and Clearf1eld division the men are
working at Spangler. Barnsboro and
Hastings. At Frugality about 200 men
are out. In the Clearfield region only
one mine is idle. which has 200 men.
1t is the general opinion among railroad
men and operators that by tomorrow
or Wednesday the men will either be
all out or they will be at work.

the purpose Of inducing the men en-
ployed there to quit. The North Leav-
enworth company Is paying eighty
cents a ton for mine-run coal, and the
Home company seventy cents. The
walkout Is to force the eRiverside
company to pay eighty cents. A mass
meeting will be held tonight and a
general strike seems almost certain, as
the Home Riverside people are not dis
posed to accede to the demands made

yesterday over the government ocean
course, thirty-one knots eastward from
Cape Ann and return. and showed an
average speed Of 1851 knots per hour,
which, If not decreased by the tide al

Neatnesa About the Farm.

In driving through the country, II
there is one thing more than another
which attracts the attention of IN OBJ
serving person it is general neatness.
or on the contrary, general shiftless-
ness about the farm and farm build
ings.
Often you hear the remark of city
folk, more especially as they travel
along the road, well, now, If I could
live there I believe I should enjoy
country life." "My! but what a very
gloomy place, 1t is enough to discour-
age a saint" etc.
We do not urge general neatness and
order just to please the city folk. oh,
no. But for our own sakes let us
spend a half day once in a while in
Sticking things up. Let us be careful
in leaving anything about the farm,
door yard or barn yards which shall be
unsightly.
YES" one may say, that looks well
on paper, or will do for book farm
err to advocate, but when you get right
down to solid facts 1t Is impossible for
the common farmer to do 1t. He can't
afford It." We believe he cannot afford
not to do 1t. Show me one farmer to-
day who Is making money with every
thing in general dirty disorder, tools

repair, doors swinging, and thousand
and one other little things which go to
present a general chaos, and l will
show you five who are neat and tidy
in all farm operations. Then, too, an
other point which must not be over
looked, that shiftless farmer will soon
want to sell out. VIII any one want
to purchase such unsightly premises?
1t Is business economy to slick up and
keep slicked up.
OF course we cannot 70 to extremes,
but when you once get things In order
and are careful to keep them so, 1t Is
surprising to see how little time 1t
takes to make things attractive about
the home. I think as farmers we are
too careless about this feature Of farm
life Let US "brace up" Now the
yard, trim the trees, fix the fence.
paint the house, IL need be, take pains
to make our home attractive and pleas
ant, then our lives will be more happy
and we shall be more cOntented with
our lot. which after all is just what
we make it on the farm or elsewhere.
Don't imagine that those city cousins,
who live in a neat cottage, do not have
to work, worry and plan as you do.
