THE POPE Is ANGRY.
ROME, May 10.-The Pope has
summoned Cardinal Hohenlohe
to the Vatican on account OF his
having toasted Premier Crispi on
the occasion of a recent dinner
at the residence Of the Baron Blanc,
minister OF foreign affairs.
Cardinal Hohenlohe obeyed the
summons and was immediately
granted an audience with His Hol-
mess. The Pope was brusque in
his manner and reproached the
cardinal with having offered a
toast to Signor Crispi.
Cardinal Hohenlohe retorted
that the triumph Of the church was
always desirable, even with the as
sistance Of a premier.
The Pope replied that the church
did not need Signor Crispi, and
asked the cardinal to make a state
ment effacing the bad impression
which his toast to the Italian Pre-
mier had created.
This the cardinal objected to.
Both His Holiness and the cardi-
nal are in an angry stage of mind.

DARKNESS AT THE CRUCIFIxION.
Prof. Virgins Explains that 1t Was
Caused by an Eclipse of the Sun.

OttdWd tJhlji sopSCldi.
Speaking to-day with regard to the eclipse
of the the 18th inst, Prof. Virgins
said that it was undoubtedly the same as
occurred at the time of Christ's crucifixion.
THE eclipse of the sun of the 18th inst,
he said was remarkable for two reasons
First. because it happened so near the ver-
place at MONDAY on the meridian of Jeru-
salem. Biblical critics and astronomers
have always been at a loss to know def
nitely whether the darkness all over the
land of Judea from noon until 3 O'clock
which was about the time of the vernal
equinox, on March 20, A. D.. 30. that is,
at the crucifxion. was caused by an eclipse
of the sun or was produced as the first
Christians said it was, by miraculous pow
that it was an eclipse: / know by an ac-
tual calculation of eclipses backward that
the sun was totally eclipsed over the merid-
ian of Jerusalem on March 10, A. ID. 49,
Now, the darkness at ChristS death, the
evangelists say, was accompanied by earth
quakes, and these phenomena were very
marked at that period, as we learn from
other writer's. Tertullian, one of the fathers
in the second century, appears to have been

down in the city of Nice.
Il have been watching the sun for a
conjunction of the sun and moon over Ju-
dea, to see If it would be attended by
