HIS EMINENCE, CARDINAL SAToLLI

The old ediflce in which the ceremony
took place and in which the first American
bishop was ordained and the first Amer-
can priest ordained and which is presided
over by the only American born member
of the college of cardinals. was packed to
the doors with an audience which num-
bered among its members, many of the
most prominent ecclesiistics, diplomats,
legislators, educators and journalists in
American Archbishops, bishops and emil
nent professors represented the Catholic
church in the congregation. The vice pres
ident of the United States and numerous
congressman. senator's, judges and minor
officials were present. Eminent Catholics
outside the priesthood came many miles to
see the ceremony and to lend impressive
ness and importance to the occasion by
their presence. Diplomats of high degree
came to represent foreign governments
and show the respect in which they hold
the church which does honor to Satolli.
The initial steps in the ceremonies OF
the day took place in the palace of the
cardinal shortly after 9 o'clock in the morn

The flames originated in the hotel build

first floor. Every effort was made to get
all the guests out. AL are supposed to
have escaped. The fire spread rapidly,
and crossing an alley in the rear of the
hotel, buried the large three-story
brick buiiding belonging to George
Streit. The Nc artney building, adjoining
the hotel, occupied by the Union Pacific
Tea company, and residence were badly
damaged. The hotel, which was a five

by Amandus Silk, was totally destroyed, as
were also the furniture and most OF the

A CRISIS Is APPROACHING
In the Affairs of Dr.. Brown and His
Flock
His Religious Probity Is Questioned and Sin
cere sympathy Has Been Replaced
by Caustic Criticism

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.-The Chronicle
says: A crisis seems approaching in the
relations between Rev. DR.. G. o. Brown
ard his flock. During the early days of
the church scandal the members of the
congregation were loyal to their pastor in
the hour of his difficulty and looked upon
him as a martyr. A change has come, and
one that portends darkly for the man who
is prosecuting Mrs. Davidson for black
mail.
The loyalty and steadfastness of his
church is melting and dssip ating, and in
its place is crystallizlng a sentiment ad-
verse to his interests.
For the fist time in the history of the
First Congregational church, its pastor,
overcome by the worry and shame of a
police court scandal, was absent from his
pulpit. His place was taken by Professor
Lloyd, of the Pacific theological seminary
of Oakland. Professor Lloyd spoke at
both the morning and evening services.
No refer ence occurred in his discourse to
the real cause of his presence there.
The curious crowd has found it's way to
the church, as we'll as to the police court.
days audience. But if they expected to
see anything outside of the prosaic they
were disappointed. They missed view of
DR.. Brown, because he was not at the
church at all. A friend had brought word
to The congregation that their pastor was
confined to his bed, overcome by the ia
tigue and worry incident to attending the
trial in the police court the preceding day.
There was an air of gloomy. nervous eN-
citement apparent in the countenances of
the more devout and earnest members of
the congregation. There was a marked
aversion on the part of members of the
church to mention the name of DR.. Brown
and Matte Overman. But the most re-
markable aspect of the situation was the
radically changed sentiments of those who
referred to it. A week ago DR.. Brown was
the victim of conspiracy; now DR.. Brown
is central figure in scandal
and the church has achieved much
undesred notoriety. For the first
time the religious probity of the pastor is
doub, ed by some of his parishioners and
sympathy for Miss Overman has given
place TO caustic criticism. The feeling is
growing that DR.. Brown should resign his
pastorate or else demand a church trial to
investiga the truth of the charges made
against him. 1t was rumored that The pas
tor would not preach again in the church
until he was fully eXonerated.

abated. The continuation of the cabinet
is not possible but what is the nature of it's
successor cannot be surmised by Premier
Bowel.
Two contradictory statements are made
in this connection 1t is said that Premier
Bowel will resign the premiership and
make way for Sir Charles Upper, and on
the other hand it is asserted hat the
premier has decided to accept the resigua-
ton of the seven cabinet ministers and will
appoint others to succeed them AT once.
MORE IMPORTANT ISSUE
New YOsK. an Is "A special TO local
paper from W.>hing on says:
A more Important issue than that over
the Venezuelan b undary may be raised
soon between the United States and Great
Britain if recent reports from Nicaragua
shall be confirmed by later developments.
Tue substance of these reports. sustained
by important evidence, is tnat British i'll
terests are reaching out for the control of
the Nicaragua canal, and that the
government is being urged to an
null the charter of the existing
corporation. The reports of British in
trigue in Nicaragua which have been sent
to the state dep partment are likely to re-
ceive serious attention before the transmits
sion of the report of the Nicsraguan COM
mission to congress and may give a sensa-
tional turn TO the expected special message
The United States, in case of 7ntrover-
sizes, might be obliged to take its stand
upon broader grounds and to object to any
such interference in Central American af-
fairs on the part of Great Britain. as it
might consider proper on its own behalf.
If British syndicate should persuade MIC
arag,lan officials to annul their conces.
sions to this American company
and make new ones to British
company, a question would be presented
different from that presented in Venezue-
la, according to Pre- sident Cleveland's defi-
milton of that question in the particular
that the United States might feel called
upon to interfere without regard to the at
ii ude of the existing government of the
country affected.
The United States, it is believed, in such
a case would not permit the Monroe doc
trine to be construed so narrowly as to
justify the increase of European powsr in
Central America contrary to the interests
of he United states, even with the consent
of t'~ officials who temporarily might
shape the policy of the country in which
aggressions took place.
II the efforts of British capitalists to Sc
cure the annulment of the American char
ter seem likely to produce tangible results,
representations of a serious nature are
likely to be made by the state department.
to the governments of both Nicaragua and
ish influence in the construction
of the canal. Nicaragua is now
without diplomatic representative
in the United States, but full reports of
events in that country are coming to the
state department through American con-
sular officers and alre ldy are exciting the
anxiety of the Maritime Canal company.
