"A prominent Washington Catholic said
to The CALL correspondent to-day:
81 don't think either Bishop Keane's
position in the school question or any
race rivalry was responsible for the Pope's 8
action. 1t was solely due to Cardinal
Satollrs influence"
do you think 1t was any part of the
Cardinals supposed effort to have him.
self succeed Pope Leo?"
"Oh, no; not at all. But he made up
his mind some time ago that Bishop
Keane was not fit man for the place.
What he based his opinions on 1 do not
know. / am sure it was not matter of
personal feeling. But I was told nearly a
year ago that the Cardinal had said to my
informant that Bishop Keane should not
remain at the head OF the school. The
Cardinals close personal relations with
the Pope would make his opinion ,suf-
icient to decide the matter. 1t is proba-
bic. however, that the matter has been
discussed at Rome several times in the
past year, and there has been considerable
correspondence between Cardinal Satolli
and the Pope in regard to it.
"The purpose undoubtedly was to effect
the change quietly and for Bishop Keane
to make change of duty entirely to mis-
liking. | know personally that he is in
poor health. and he SAID publicly several
months ago that he desired to retire and
have rest. The suggestion that Mgr.
Schroeder had any part in bringing about
the change is without foundation. The
Pope would no more listen to him on that
subject than he would listen to me"

ceived this afternoon say the storm has
increased in fury and that much damage
is being done. At 2:30 this morning a
monster wave struck Seidps concert hall
at Brighton and tore away two-thirds of
the structure. There is little hope that
the remainder can be saved.
The Brighton racetrack stables are
flooded and the horses have been removed.
Rough estimates place the financial loss
along the Coney Island beach at 500, 600.
A large number of temporary structures
along the water front were destroyed The
boulevard was flooded as far as Neptune
avenue.
The Ocean Hotel, west of the Brighton
Beach Hotel, was surrounded by water
and the portico inundated. The founda-
ton was injured, and for a time it seemed
that the building would be destroyed.
Wilbourg's Hotel, Van Wert's fish res
taurant, a pavilion in front of Palmer s
clearinghouse, Johnson's photograph gall
lery, the front of Louis Stauch's bathing
pavilion, Welsh's bathing house, Tilyou's
bicycle track and Coffey's Brighton plaza
were all damaged or totally des troyed.
Rankln's ice slide, which was damaged by
the storm of q month ago, suffered again
and is now complete wreck.
The botel at Hog Island was surrounded
by the sea at one time this morning. Hog
Island is covered with water and the ocean
is running to the main shore at Far Rock
away. Hotels are three feet under water
and number of families have been
obliged to vacate.

PENNsYLvANIANs as VISITORS
Two Delegations of Wage-Earners
Join the Popular Pilgrimage to
the Shrine of Prosperity.

CANTON, OHIO, Oct. 12.-Major Nc
Klnley to-day expressed himself as being
in the very best of health and spirits and
in every way well prepared for another
week of hard work incident upon the re-
ception of many visiting delegations, of
which thirty are expected during the
week, and they will come from a dozen
different States. There are two delega-
tions scheduled for to-day. Both were
from Pennsylvania, and re represented the
miners of the Monongahela Valley and
the workingmen of Roscoe, Pa. Durin G
the morning Major Mckinley was ad-
vised that these delegations had been
consolidated and would not arrive in
Canton until the afternoon.
Major Mckinley is in receipt of many
congratulations upon his address to the
ex-Confederate veterans on Friday last.
The following telegram was received this
morning:
NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 12.-Hon. Major
Mckinley, Canton: The members OF the Union
Veterans Patriotic League in all parts of the
country enthusiastically approve your ad-
dress to the Confederate veterans of the Shen-
andoah Valley. L. EDWIN DUDLEY,
National Secretary U. VP.L.
The Pennsylvania visitors, to the num-
Der OF 600, arrived on a special train at 1
O'Clock. They came from the following
towns in the Fourth Pool, Monongahela
Valley: Charleroi, Belle Vernon, Fayette
City, Roscoe, Coal Center, California and
Brownsville. Many ladies accomp panied
the excursionists. The rain, which had
been falling more or less heavily at inter
walls during the morning, came down very
hard just as the Pennsylvanians arrived.
All outdoor demonstrations were there
fore abandoned and the visitors were
escorted TO the Tabernacle. A colored
club had Just begun to sing some cam
paign selections when Major Mckinley
entered the hall. Instantly every man in
the audience was on his feet and cheering
at the top of mis- voice.
Major Mckinley had never been greeted
with more emphatic welcome than that
of the miners ana others OF the Mononga-
hela Valley. George V. Lawrence, who
has represented the district whence
came this enthusiastic delegation for sew
eral years in Congress, acted as spokes-
man. Mr.. Lawrence is over 80 years Old
and is personal friend of Major McKin-
ley. In his remarks he said the deiega-
tion represented the miners, mech anics,
laborers and men of all classes in the
counties of Washington. Westmoreland
and Fayette.
When the speaker referred to Major Nc
Kinley as the next President of the United
States there was a great outburst of ap-
plause. 1.-The laboring men in particular
in our district are your best friends, " said
Mr.. Lawrence. ''They have seen the
splendid prosperity which you strug-
gled so long and hard to build up only to

All Taxpayers should Attend.

On next Friday afternoon will occur
the meeting of legal voters in this school
district. Though all meetings of this
kind are important, the coming one is
Of especial interest to the taxpayers.
Then will be decided the tax to be levied
for the year, and if there is anything of
more importance. just at this time, than
the amount of taxes our citizens have to
pay, we would like to know what it is
For some reason or other the assessed
valuation of property in the district Is
smaller this year than it was last, and a
larger levy will have to be made to OBJ
tain the same amount of revenue.
The question of providing an addi-
tional building for the district will also
come before the meeting. In any con-
tingency the taxpayers will be called
upon for an additional sum for this pur-
pose. Whether brick or wooden build
ing is erected, or temporary quarters
rented. the decision should be made by
meeting where the taxpayers are well
represented. Up in La Grande they
have been having trouble in getting the
taxpayers to attend the school meeting,
and the Chronicle of that city very Justly
complains of the lack of interest, in an
article which the East Oregonian re-
prints under the caption of ''The Same
Here" Let not The Dalles be open to
the same criticism as that made by the
La Grande paper in the following:
It seems almost incredible that a spe-
ciaI school meeting called for the pur-
pose OF levying tax for school purposes
in district that has almost one thous-
and persons of school age and which
prides itself on the efficiency of it's
school management, should attract but
six voters. Yet that was the case with
the special school meeting for this dis
trict which was held Thursday after
noon. The people of La Grande have
never faltered in providing the best in
the way of school maintenance. Money

Hon. II. p. Thompson's Lecture,

Every seat in the Congregational
church was occupied last evening, the
large audience being gathered to listen
to the lecture of Hon. D. P. Thompson
upon "The Holy Places of Palestine"
Mr.. Thompson has spoken in The Dalles
before, and the assem- blage of people who
greeted him last evening showed the
appreciation in which he is held as
lecturer.
In a few we'll chosen words Mr.. j.
M. Patterson introduced the speaker of
the evening. Mr.. Thompson prefaced
his remarks by saying that what he was
going to say was more in the nature ola
"talk' than lecture, as it consisted of
personal observations, and was not ency-
clopedic in nature. He began by briefly
describing the trip on the Mediterranean
down the shore of Palestine, past the
once opulent cities of Tyre and Sidon,
now little more than memory, their
harbors full of sand. Mr.. Thompson
and his party landed first at Yafa-the
port in ancient days called Jaffa. Here
the steamer was left and the travellers
began their journey through Palestine,
visiting the most famous of its holy
places. Mr.. Thompson in his address
made apt quotations from biblical lore,
and connected the places he was de-
scribing with the events narrated in the
Old and New Testament. His remarks
about Jerusalem were especially inter-
esting, and some touches of humor now
and then added to the pleasure of the
audience.
Few men have the happy gift of mar
rative telling like that possessed by Mr..
Thompson and the close attention given
by the audience was the best mark of
appreciation. Among his hearers were
a number of high school students, Prof.
Gavin having wisely recommended them
to attend.
The lecture was one of the most inter-
esting ever given in the city, and the
ladies of the church who arranged the
course, and the audience who listened to
his words, feel very grateful to Mr..
Thompson for the trouble he took to
give them pleasant evening.

laudable effort in securing a high grade
attraction, and the house will be crowd
ed both evenings. The people of The
Dalles appreciate good acting, and for
this reason the pieces presented by the
Ellsler company cannot fail to please.
The dancing class of Miss Anna
Moore will begin tomorrow evening at
8 o'clock in the Chrysanthemum hall,
over Browns grocery store. This class
will be for beginners. and members will
be charged so cts per lesson. Private
lessons 81. The hours of teaching will
be from to 10. Miss Moore has just
returned from Portland, where she has
acquainted herself with all the latest
dances.
Articles of incorporation were fled
with the county clerk today by the
Mosier Mercantile Co. This Is con-
Germ formed to carry on general mer-
'chandise business at Mosier-to erect
buildings. buy and sell real estate and
do whatever else is necessary to the
proper conducting of a country store.
Amos Root, R. E. Hardwick and George
Sellinger are the incorporators, the capi-
tai stock being $4,000, divided into shares
of $40 each. With the opening of the
silica mines at Mosier and the starting
of a new store, our neighboring hamlet
is in fair way to boom.

to be in contemplation of building to
make good showing, and all indica-
tions point to year of many improve
ments.
Last Sunday Rev. ]. H. Hazel, of the
Christian church, announced to his con-
gregation that it was possible le would
not be in his pulpit the coming Sunday,
as he contemplated going to California.
That plan is changed, however, and he
will conduct services next Sunday at the
usual time and place.
Practically all the wheat in the ware
houses has been sold, and the roads
are in such condition that hauling from
the country is almost impossible. The
rise in wheat will not be of much bene-
fit to this immediate community, as
most of last years crop has been dis
posed of.
Mr.. II. Kaseberg, prominent farmer
of Sherman county, was in the city
today and reports that fall-sown grain in
that section is growing very well, and
the people are correspondingly happy
in the prospects of of a large crop. The
wheat acreage will be very large in
Sherman countytbis year.
The county clerk is sending ont no.
tices of appointment to the road super
visors who were selected at the last term
of the county court. It is provided by
law that any one who is appointed road
supervisor and refuses to serve, is SUBJ
ject to fine of $25. The county court,
however, is very seldom bothered with
declinations these days.
The settlers on the north side of the
Columbia, between The Dalles and Cas-
cades, are anxious for the Regulator to
resume her regular trips. As the steam
boat is their only Communication with
the outside, the settlers feel the incon-
venience of the boats withdrawal. The
Regulator will be ready for service by
the middle of February, and regular
trips will begin some time between that
date and the first of the following month.
