ROASTS ROBERT.
REV. FATHER MALONE LECTURED
IN DENVER YESTERDAY.
Good Reason to Believe That the
Prayers of the EndeavOrers Have
AvaiIed Nothing.

DENVER, Feb 2.-The Rev. Father
Malone lectured at the Tabor opera
house in this city today before an i'm
mense audience. His subject was IN
gersoll. The main line of argument of
the lecture was devoted to showing
that Ingersoll in his many attacks on
Christianity is fatty contradicted by
the teachings of all modern inidels of
whose writings he was accused of be-
ing ignorant or of classifying and con-
cealing them from his auditors.
He was interrupted and asked if the
teachings of IngersoH in regard to
Catholic converts and on certain other
matters were not true. To the former,
Father Malone replied "All patriotic
and honest citizens" said he, must
regret the formation of parties having
for their object the PRONUNCIATION of
intolerance, the spreading of unjust
accusations and charges which have
no foudation but calumny and bigOtry.
The attacks made upon the religious
orders of women in the church. women
whose lives are devoted to the well
fare of suffering humanity, are the
outgroWth of ignorance or malice. The
present wave of religious bigotry,
much of which finds expression in the
un-Christian and malicious utterances
against the sisterhoods of the country,
has had no more potent factor in it's
development and spread than Robert
G. Ingersoll In season and out Of
season, in village, hamlet and city he
has uttered malicious insinuations
against the converts of this country.
He has inspired the fanatic and bigots
who have banded together against
Catholics to make the foolish and idi-
otto demand for the opening of con-
vents to the public inspection of the
lecherous. Weak minded men have
Joined the vicious in their demands, so
that injustice and wrong have been
wrought against the innocent. Rob
ert G. Ingersoll was among the very
first of the present generation to en-
gender by suggestions and insinua-
lions hatred of Catholic converts and
their inmates in the minds of many.
Ingersoll would have his hearers for
get the work done by these noble wo-
men at the bedside of the dying. and
in caring for the orphans as we'll as
for the poor soldiers in the field of
battle. He has urged on the relentless
bigot who would open the sacred pre-
cincts of the converts to the vulgar
gaze of depraved creatures In this
regard Mr.. Ingersoll has a distinction
that is peculiarly his own. No honest
man would rob him of his honor"

MAY PROVE SERIOUS.
EngInnd's Latest Arrogant Action
in Yenezueln.


NEW YORK. Feb. "a dispatch to
the World from Caracas. Venezuela,
saws:
The trouble over the English railroad
between Guanta and Barcelona threat
ems to bring about serious lntefha-
tional complication.
Superintendent White, who suspend
ed the service, refuses to obey the or
ders of Minister Cf Public Works
Bounal Sierra to resume and says ne
will await instructions from London.
The minister has imposed fine of 500
a day until trains shall be run. This
complication has provoked bitter COM
ments here against Bnglishmen. The
press saws that British action re%ard-
ing concessions in weaker countries is
always unjust and arrogant; that
Great Britain is quick to claim dam
ages and to enforce them with war
ships when resistance is impossible,
and is never willing to comply with
the law.
The press urges the government to
pay the railroad nothing until the
guarantee which provides that the road
must transport 800 tons of coal from
the mines at Buanta before payment
begins At the time the railway ceased
operations 300 tons had been moved.
The spirit of the contract, it is held,
however, demands that transportation
shall be continuous. The action of the
government imposing the $100 daily
fine has given great satisfaction here.
President Crespo has returned to
Caracas and will remain here several
days.

Nun dered For Money.

KANSAS CITY. Feb "A special to
the Times from Perry, o. T.. says:
A horrible murder came to light
southwest of here near WewOka. Two
Frenchmen. aged so and rs years, We're
found dead in their homes on q farm
Thursday morning. The men, John and
Jacob Mauntz, have never been mar
ried. They have a fine tract of land
and lived in an ordinary house. 1t is
said that they had great wealth, and
the theory is that they were murdered
for their money. John Eel was pass
ing the Mauntz homestead and saw the
elder Mauntz hanging in the yard and
was astonished to find him dead The
old man was hanged up by a rope, the
piece of which was around his neck
and was also shot. Further investiga-
ton showed that the other brother was
dead in the house with several bullet
holes through him. Officers are max
ing an investigation.

SOUTH POLE.
PLANS MADE BY A FAMOUS NOR
WEGIAN EXPLORER.
Trip Proposed Will Occupy Two
Years, But He Says There is
Money Behind the Scheme.

NEW YORK, Feb. &c. Egbert
Borchgrevink, the Norwegian explorer,
arrived here on the Umbria today.
Borchgrevink has taught the world
pretty much all it knows about the
great continent which lies in south
ern polar seas, and if his plans are
now arranged and carried out. he will
be able to tell much more after he gets
back from an expedition which he is
to undertake next winter.
The scheme that the explorer has in
hand is to travel over $50 miles inland
on snow shoes and sledges, with three
Norwegian companions, that he may
reach the south magnetic pole. He eX-
poets that it will take him more than
two years to do so, but he talks Of the
undertaking as if such trip were to
him nothing more than little jaunt
through Europe to an ordinary man.
Speaking of the proposed expedition
he said:
THE most difficult part of the mat
ter has already been accomplished.
That is the raising of the money. A
commercial company has been formed
in England for the purpose of whal-
ing and getting cargoes of guano from
the Antarctic region. This company
has agreed to send out an expedition
next September. Eleven scientists are
to go with the expedition. We have
chartered the auxiliary steamer, ia
son, the whaler which took DIR. Nansen
into the Arctic regions.
I'VE will sail right for Cape Adare,
which is on the new continent We
expect to get there this spring. We
will have another 74-ton steamer and
a naptha launch with US. The two
steamers will leave US and return to
Melbourne after whaling for time.
With three Norwegian friends, all
experts on snow shoes, [ will start in
land from Cape Adare and traverse a
country that was never entered by a
human being as far as we know. We
will go from Cape Adare to Coulman
island, distance of sixty miles, over
the snow and from there we contem-
plate two and a half months journey
over the mainland, travelling across
the plateau of ice and snow and
sledges. We want to locate the south
magnetic pole.
On my previous expedition I reached
"a degrees L minutes south latitude
but we shall get much farther south
this trip, unless / am very much mis-
taken. If the expedition succeeds, the
results to science will be the most i'm
portant in many years."
DO you think there is a great con-
tinent there or merely an island?" Mr.
Borchgrevink was asked.
I am quite sure it is continent
and one probably three times as large
as all Europe" he answered very pos
itively. Rock specimens which I
brought up have satisfied scientists
that it is a continent and not an is
land"
ITO whom does it belong?"
We'll, England claims it, he replied.
When Captain Sir James Clark Ross
landed on Possession island, which is
off the coast of the new land. more
than half a century ago, from her
majesty's ships Eredus and Terror, he
took possession of the mainland, which
he never stepped upon, in the name of
the queen"

her pier and was being backed into
the slip. The tide was lower than
usual, owing to the strong westerly
wind. and for that reason when the
Umbria had been headed in she was
caught in the soft mud. The vessel S
engines were reversed. but she refused
to bulge. After four tugs had hauled
away for an hour the steamer slipped
into her berth In the strong box of
the Umbria there was a gold con-
signment of f380.355 sterling, equal to
81. 901. US The gold is consigned TO half
a dozen firms.
S. Fleming, the purser, said he did
not know where the gold was going.
1t is understood it is for the purchase
of bonds.
