THE DECREE is FINAL.
A Definite Statement From Ionsignore
SatOIli.

A Definite Statement From Monsignorc
Satolli.
WASHINGTON, January 2.-Owing to
misapprehensions caused by the publ
cation of statement that the decree
concerning secret societies was not final,
and was to be submitted to the Bishops
to secure from them their opinions
thereon, Monsignore Satolli authorizes
the following brief statement of facts:
"The Archbishops of the United
States have taken counsel with respect
to three societies, namely, Odd Fellows,
Sons of Temperance and Knights Of
Pythias. The Archbshops decided that
the whole question should be submitted
to the Apostolic See. In a commune
cation from his eminence, Cardinal
Monaco, to Monsignore Satolli the action
of the general congregation of Cardinals
to whom his Holiness committed the
question is made known. The congre-
cation after considering carefully the
matter made the decree; this decree
his Holiness fully confirmed and gave it
complete effect. The decree is, there
fore, transmitted to all Archbishops,
Bishops and other ordinaries in the
United States to be by them carried into
effect. Monsignore Satolli has acted
merely as medium of transmission,
but in view of the contradictory and con-
fusing reports emanating from various
parts OF the country the facts are thus
briefly stated"

Mutual Benefit.
Iii FRANCISCO, January 3.-NearlyN
every prominent firm dealing in lumber
IA tl,is city is interested in a movement
~ form combination. increase prices
md insure profit in o branch of business
which has been conducted at loss for
months. Negotiations with that end in
view has been in progress for two weeks,
bat as yet no definite organization is
the result. A committee has been
|ehosen, plan outlined and rules have
been formulated, even a name for the
new concern has been adopted, but the
step which is to make all these measures
practically operative has not been taken.
Local lumbermen are unit in declaring
that trade with them has been worse
than profitless for year. Cargoes have
been sold at loss OF 5000 and 200. 1t
was found cheaper in many instances to
have work performed and material pur-
chased in British Columbia rather than
| in this city. The only possible field for
even small profits is in the foreign mar
ket. Under these conditions local mer-
chants considered it absolutely necessary
to take some step to stop the COMPETE
ton going on and to raise prices until
there be reasonable profit. With that
object a meeting was called. Repre-
sentatives of the following firms were in
attendance:
Preston & McKinnon, the Golden
Gate Company, Pope & Talbot, Renton,
Holmes & Co., w. ]. Adams, Gray's
Harbor Commercial Company, the Pa
cific Pine Lumber Company, Hanson y
Co., Simpson Lumber Company and
Wood-Slade- Thayer Lumber Company.
After an informal discussion of the
matter committee of three was APP
pointed and instructed to report plan
OF action. This committee urged that
all OF the interested companies unite in
the'creation of what is to be known as
the Central Lumber Company of Cali
fornia. 1t urged that all consignments
of lumber be made to this company,
which would then appoint its selling
agents. In that way all sales would
come under the direct supervision OF the
combination. Every ten days there was
to be division of profits upon basis
fair to all the companies. The plan
seemed to meet with approval, and it
was hoped that it would go into opera
ton to-day. Certain delays have &C.
Cured, however, and it is difficult to tell
when the combination will be formed.

which he was charged to have done, was
simply ridiculous.

SENATOR LExOWS REPLY.
His Answer to the Criticisms of Rev.
DR.. Parkhurst.

DR.. Parkhurst.
ALBANY, N. Y, January Sin an in
terview this evening Senator Lexow said
he had no answer to make on the criti-
cisms of the work of the committee con-
tanned in DR.. Parkhurst's manifesto.
Obviously, the best answer would be to
point to the'committee and say: SPY
their works ye shall know them" SEN
ator Lexow said he had too high regard
for DIR. Parkhurst to say that he is actu-
ated by any but the highest and purest
motives in what he says or does. He
continued:
but it is strange indeed that when
the crucial point was reached and Super
intendent Byrnes was on the stand, as
everybody knew he would be last Satur-
day, everything that was suggested was
done. And yet this criticism. Through
out the entire examination Mr.. Moss
stood at Mr.. COTS side and co-operated
in the conduct of inquiry. 1t is unnec-
essary to add anything to this. As to a
deal, it is plain one could not be effected
unless through the cooperation of a
majority of the committee acting in con-
junction with all the counsel. The
statement of this proposition is the best
refutation of the charges.
Let any one suggest question that
was not put, charge that was not
made, an indictment that was not
brought or anything, in short, that was
omitted before they criticise. To my
mind the meat of the statement is to be
found in the declaration that the Senate
has uncovered all the corruption in exist
ence in the Police Department, and there
still remains work for the Society for the
Prevention of Crime to do. Iwish them
God-speed in this work."

Rome correspondent says several Cardi-

attitude toward the Cardinals, were con.

that the King of Italy at Rome was the
Pope's safeguard. All concurred in this
opinion. The Pope upon hearing this
was much impressed. 1t is supposed
that this partly accounted for his omis-

power from his speech at the New Years
reception. -

having been implicated in the Canadian,

ing OF Sheriff MCGEE. News OF the affair
was received at United States Marshal
Nix's office here to-day. Deputy Mar
shall Bill Williams and strong detach-
ment of deputies had been chasing the
outlaws for several days. They had
trailed them from place to place, but
had not come within fighting distance
until yesterday. Although the sides
were unequal, half dozen or more
deputies to two outlaws, the latter were
armed to the teeth and their natural
desperateness, strengthened by the box
in which the deputies had put them,
made them no easy mark. They were
rounded-up in desolate valley in the
southwestern part OF Washita county
about noon, and when commanded to
surrender made a stand and began using
their Winchesters. Their aim was good,
for in the first volley one of the posse
fell seriously wounded by ball in the
side. The next instant, however, both
outlaws were stretched on the ground
dead with bullets from the deputies
guns in their hearts. The outlaws were
a veritable walking arsenal and, had
they not been killed SO soon, would
doubtless have laid some OF the deputies
to rest. They were both old offenders
with enviable regulations among their
craft, and their radiance is joyous news
to the Territory officials, generally as
they were the constant dread Of Okla
homa.
