Vienna Laws.

No woman who is convicted of
either crime or misdemeanor at
Vienna is sent to prison. There
is convent at Neudorf, near the
city, where such convicts are con-
fined. The Cornhill Magazine
says:
"The Judge before whom she is
tried decides, of course, how long
she shall remain. He may, if he
deems it right, give orders that
while there she shall pass a day
in solitary confinement from time
to time, and on these occasions be
less plentifully supplied with food
than usual. In the great major
ity of cases, however, no instruc-
tons of this kind are given; the
women are simply handed over to
the superior of the convent, to be
dealt with as she thinks best. She
houses them, feeds them, clothes
them, and provides them with in
struction and occupation; and the
Government gives her for what
she does 30 kreuzers a day (about
Z pence) for each prisoner under
her care. So long as these wo-
men are in the convent the full
responsibility for their safe keep
ing and general well-being rests
on the superior; and, in return,
she is allowed practically a free
hand in her management of them.
There are, it is true, certain regu-
lations in force with regard to the
amount of work they may be re-,
quired to do, and the punishments
that may be inflicted on them; but
these are not of a nature to inter-
fere seriously with her freedom of
action. She is, in fact, virtually
an autocrat within her own do
main; and there are not half a
dozen women in Europe to-day
who have so much power for the
veal or woe of their fellows as she
has"

Mine Disaster in Wales With
Unusual Fatalities.
AN EXPLOSION STARTED 1T
Pit Caught Fire but the Brave Rescuers
Fought Their Way Through
the Binding Smoke.

Cardiff, Wales Jan. 27-A terrible ex-
plosion has taken place in the colliery
at Taylorstown. The shafts were shat
tered and the whole town shaken, caus-
ing wild excitement. Fifty-four miners
were below when the explosion oc-
Cured. Several reached the surface
with the dead body of another. 1t is
supposed nearly all the remainder were
killed. Rescue parties have been hur-
ried to the scene, but the work is very
dangerous, as the pit is on fire. Later
advices say a dozen bodies have been
recovered from the colliery, and II men
are still missing. Fifty bodies have been
recovered this afternoon. Forty-two
miners are said to be missing.
The latest report places the number
of dead at 54 though it is feared the
further exploration of the wrecked mine
will develop the bodies of more. The
mining population of the mining local
ity knew all too quickly what the ruff
fled, thunderous rumble of the explosion
meant, and rushed to the mouth of the
pit, only to have their worst fears con-
frmed. The shaft was found to be en-
tirely shattered and it was evident there
was little hope that any of those in the
pit would have survived the explosion.
The despair of the women who fiocked
about the mouth of the pit was a little
more terrible than the horrible anxiety
of those that hoped to find that those
who were missing from their sides had
by some chance not entered the mine.
RESCUERS BRAVED DEATH.
The pit was found to have caught fire
! and the hindrance that this caused to
the work Of rescue added to the tension
of feeling. 1t was only through Drawing
the utmost peril that the living were
able to prosecute their quest for the
dead. The number of dead removed
grew from u to Is and then 20, and the
list of those known to have been in the
| fated shaft kept constantly growing,
and with it the number of bereaved
families awaiting at the surface.
The work of exploration is going on
under great difficulty the numerous
cave-ins obstructing the advance and
making it impossible to reach remote
portions of the mine, while the defective
ventilation often drives back those who
are advancing on their sad errand. The
last to come out brought with them five
bodies. None have been found alive,
and it is not now believed that any will
be.
1t was reported at midnight that more
bodies had been brought to the surface,
and some of those who were in the mine
have been rescued alive and are able to
tell something of the occurrence.
LEFT UNCONSCIOUS MEN.
A foreman who made his way out of
the mine relates that he passed numer-
Gus men on the way who were uncon-
scious and helpless and badly burned.
He could do nothing for them and was
obliged to leave them to their fate.
The rescuers continued their work all
through the night, encouraged by the
saving of a few to hope that others
might remain alive in the mine who
may be saved.

orandum Of his views which is as fol-
lows:
IN view Of the doubts suggested re-
garding the Jurisdiction of the circuit
court of the United States for the
eastern district of Wisconsin to fore
close the mortgage in this case, and of
the further fact that the business Off
ces Of this company are at st. Paul, 1
think the circuit court for the district
of Minnesota should be treated as the
court Of primary jurisdiction. But as
the whole object of the hearing before
the Justices assigned to the four cir
cults in which the property of the road
is located, is to secure harmony of ac-
ton. have concluded to waive my
personal views in Difference to the opin-
ion of my brethren ard to accede to the
recognition of the circuit court for the
eastern district of Wisconsin as the
court of primary jurisdiction"
An order was signed by each cir
| cult justice and has been sent to each
circuit court. The order is as follows:
ut is ordered that in respect to the
proceedings now being carried on for
the foreclosure of mortgages on the
Northern Pacific railroad, the circuit
court for the eastern district of Wis
consin be regarded as the court OF
| primary administration, and that the
proceedings in this court will be ancil-
| larry in their character and in aid OF
the proceedings in the court of primary
| administration. But this court reserves
the right at any time, upon the appli
cation of any person or persons inter
ested, or upon it's own motion, to make
such orders and DEGREES as to it shall
seem just for the protection of the cred
itors of the railroad company residing
within it's jurisdiction"

STIRs UP AMERICAN
CATHOLICS
Case OF An Illinois priest Arrested for
sending Written Narninr.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Every prelate.
priest and deacon of the Roman Cath
Ollie church in the United States. to say
nothing of the laity, are interested in
a question that, within few days, viii
be brought to the attention of Cardinal
Satolli, the delegate Of the Holy Father
to the church IN the United States. The
issue is whether a cleric of the church
should be held amonablc 20 the laws of
the United States for writing and send
ing through the mails a letter to one
of his pensioners uttering a warning
against a contemplated act that would
be a violation of the laws and canons
of this powerful denomination.
The issue is raised by the fact that
Father Lawrence Erhardt, priest
of the parish of Somonauk in this state,
has been held by the United States COM
missioner in $4,000 bail to the grand
jury, for sending to a woman cOmmuni-
cant of his parish a letter based on the
announced fact of her engagement to
a divorced man. and in which he pointed
out that the church could not recognize
a marriage with a divorced person, and
that further it could not regard her as
a married woman, if she married
Action was taken against the priest
on the dictum of a postoffice inspector,
on the ground that the letter In ques-
ton was an unavailable" one within
the meaning of the statutes relating to
such offenses. The case is the first of
it's kind that has arisen in connection
with any denomination in this country
and the extraordinary nature of the
proceeding has evoked some strong
comment from leading clergymen OF
this diocese. AS the legal proceedings
are in federal court. the outcome will
establish a precedent applying to every
part of the country. Cardinal Satolli
will probably be requested to have the
church represented by special coun-
sci, should the grand jury find an indict-
ment and the priest be arraigned under
it for trial

Steamer With Aid for Cubans
Sprang Leak and Sank.
TEN OF HER MEN WERE LOST
Had on Board Hotchkiss Guns, Rifles.
Dynamite and a Large Guam
tity of Ammunition.

VINEYARD Haven, Mass. Jan. Is
Twenty-Five men were picked up from
open boats off Long island Monday
morning by the schooner Helen II. Ben
edict and were landed here late last
night and left today for New York,
whence they sailed last Sunday. Their
ship was the steamer j. w. Hawkins,
recently purchased at Baltimore for an
alleged Cuban cruise, and she sailed
from New York Sunday night, having
on board between rs and 100 men,
bound, it is claimed, to join the Cuban
insurgents The rescued men report
that when the steamer was off the east
ern end of Long island she sprang
serious leak and the water gained so
rapidly on her that all hands were
Obliged to take to the boats. Thirteen
more men from the steamer Hawkins
have been brought in today. Ten men
were drowned.
The schooner Alicia b. Crosby, which
arrived here later in the day, brought
10 more men from the steamer Hawkins.
Particulars Of the wreck of the Haw-
kins had been CLEANED from the men
by the officers of the rescuing vessels.
AS nearly as could be ascertained, the
story is that the steamer sailed from
New York ostensibly bound to Bermu-
da on a winter excursion. She carried,
however, about so men, mostly Span
iards, a cannon and several hundred
pounds of ammunition. 1t was intima-
ted that several wealthy Cubans were
in the party.
Early Monday morning they ran into
a northeast gale and the heavy cross
seas which swept the steamer caused
her seams to open and she began to fill
rapidly. Signals of distress were set,
but before those on board had time to
do more than clear the boats she went
down, about So miles southeast Of Sandy
Hook lightship.
The schooners Leander w. Beebe, Ali
cha b. Crosby and Helen II. Benedict
had seen the Hawkins signals and i'm
mediately went to her. The crew and
| passengers had taken to the boats and
they were picked up with much Difficult
ty, on account of the high seas. The
Benedict picked up 20 men. and among
them were the first officer and steward
The Crosby saved 10 out of % in an
other boat, but the other 10 were un
able to get to the boat in the rough sea:
and were lost.

A VALUABLE BIT DEADLY CARGO
One of the Survivors ielis the story OF
the Wreck

One or the survivors ietiS the story OI
the Wreck
New York, Jan. 2S.-Jose c. Herman
DEE, Cuban who was on board the
steamship ]. w. Hawkins, an alleged
filibusterer which was wrecked off the
eastern end of Long island last Sunday
night, told the following story:
1--WE left New York in the Hawkins
last Saturday night. The steamship be-
longed to the Cuban revolutionary
party having been purchased recently
by them for filibustering work against
the Spaniards. On board of her were 12O
men of the Cuban revolutionary party.
In addition to this was a crew of 16
men. The ship was commanded by
Captain Hall.
1--WE left New York at midnight last
Saturday from the foot of One Hun
dred and Thirty-eighth street, East
river. Monday afternoon the engine
room sprung a leak and 1t was impossi-
BILE to bail the water out The ship was
lightened by throwing over bags of
coal, and later arms and ammunition
were thrown overheard. We had on
board $50, 900 worth of arms, two Hotch-
kiss guns, some Remington and Win
chester rifles and 100000 rounds of am
munition, also 5000 pounds of dynamite.
All were thrown into the sea. At day
light next morning the water had put
out the fire of the engines. At o'clock
we sighted the three schooners and were
taken on board.
"Calisto Garcia was in command of
the revolutionists, and his son, Carlos
Garcia, was the second in command.
"Six were drowned in trying to get
into the boats. We left the ship at g
o'clock on Monday morning, and 20
minutes later we saw her go down. She
gave great lurch to one side and then
settled into the sea-"
At the Cuban headquarters, No. sc
Broadway, it was denied that the Haw-
kins was on its way to Cuba.
1--WE would have known about her, 4"
said Secretary Gonzales de Quesada, "if
she had been fitted out for Cuba. The
report that Garcia was aboard is abso-
lutely false, as he was still in this city
SPANISH OFFICIALS MUM.
1t was not until o'clock tonight that
about a score of newspapermen sue
ceeded in getting an interview with
Minister Palma personally. He said
that in his official capacity he knew alb
solutely nothing about the alleged fill
bustering expedition. He declined tc
say anything about the wreck of the
Hawkins, or whether he had received
a dispatch from Woods Holl, Mass, and
from Boston that those Of the revolu
tionists who had not been taken to New
York had arrived safely there.
At No. 100 Broadway the Spanish
party has an office for dissemination o.
news. 1t was said late tonight tina
they had no information concerning thu
flibustering expedition to give out, blu
doubtless there would be an investiga
ton and that lively time might b.
looked for.

PORTLAND PosToF=lcs TROUBLE
Assistant Postmaster neposed and w.
A. MnnleY wiz Take the Place.

A. Munley VIII Take the Place.
Portland, Or, Jan. 2S.-Quite a SEN
satiOn was sprung in the pOstoffice to-
day when it was announced that Sill
vey Stuart, superintendent of the
money order department, had resigned
and that Mr.. Hughes, assistant post
master, had been depCsed to make room
for w. A Munley, who is to be the sue
cessor of the assistant postmaster
Stuart, in his letter of resignation,
bitterly denounced Hughes as being in
strumental in causing this action, and
stated that Hughes had endeavored to
make his position as arduous as posi-
BILE and unpleasant in the extreme.
Hughes, who is a democrat. goes out
February l. 1t is believed that the let
ter Of Money Order superintendent
Stuart had much to do with Hughes
deposition, as it was backed by other
complaints of a like character. AS
Hughes is not under the rules of the
civil service the postmaster can re-
move him.
Hughes successor, Mr.. Munley, was
for eight years the private secretary
of Governor Pennoyer and is now a
practicing attorney. He is a staunch
democrat.
