FOR OFFENSIVE PARTlSANSHIP.
A District Attorney in Virginia Resigns
by Request.


WAsHINGToNe Oct 1.-Whateyer doubt
may have existed as to the course of the
administration with reference to the en-
forcement OF tho rule against officers of
the government, especially those in any
way connected wil the judicial branch,
actively engaging in political campaigns,
was dissipated yesterday by the action of
Attorney General Harmon in accepting
the resignation Of Francis r. Lassiter,
United States attorney for the Eastern dis
trict of Virginia. Complaints had reached
the department of justice that Mr.. Lassiter
was acting rs chairman of a campaign
committee and otherwise taking u promi-
nent and active part in the practical poll
tics of his district. In letters to Mr.. Las
sjt@r Judge Harmon says in part:
"WhGtever rule may prevail In other
departments it is well settled in this, that
there is IN impropriety In officers like you
acting rs committeeman to manage and
conduct political campaigns. The reasons
are so manifest that they should not re-
quire moro than a mere suggestion AS
United States attorney you determine
who to prosecute and whom not to prose-
cute You conduct or recommend tho
discontinuance of prosecutions already
commenced. You have admission to tho
grand jury room, and indictments are
found or refused largely upon your office.
Your political work necessarily brings
you in direct contact with people of all
classes, whose assistance you seek to gain
or whose opposition you seek to overcome
1t is impossible for you to do and to have
done the work which dcvolves on mem
bers of IL campaign committee, especially
in times of high feeling and great excite-
ment, without gatherings n crop of friendly
and unfriendly feelings which, as common
experience teaches, very often have an
unconscious influence on thought and ac-
ton. 1t is more than likely that some of
the persons with whom your political ac-
tion so brings you in contact will be in
volved in your future official action.
"Thc fact that you were known as a man
of active political habits when you were
appointed is irrelevant because the ques-
tion now concerns your conduct while in
Office. The knowledge of the fact by the
people of your district meroly serves to
emphasize the danger and improperly of
your CARRYING into political contests the
weight and authority of your office"

Canada Wants q Papal DeIepata.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. IA prominent
ecclesiastic of Quebec province yesterday
divulged the object of the much discussed
visit of Abbe Proul to Rome. 1t was gem
orally understood that Premier Laurier
had q private understanding with Abbe
Proul whereby the latter was to mako
such representation to Of Vatican as
would lead to the Quebec hierarchy being
compelled to keep out the Dominion pol.
itics. The truth is that Mr. Laurer has
asked that papai ablegate be appointed
for Canada. The ablcgate would be the
vice regent Of his holiness In this country
and superior in rank to tho cardinal arch
bishop Of Quebec. This, it Is known, will
be met with tho strongest disapproval Of

LANCASTER, Pa. Oct. 1.-Reports which
have been received here confirm the earlier
edvices of the wido extent Of yesterday
qnoSning's cyclone disturbance. Every
section Of the county has been heard from,
Ind the story is that ruin rode in the wake
Of the gale. While an estimate Of the total
loss is necessarily speculative there does
not seem any doubt that it will easily
reach 81 ,O00, 900, and may largely exceed
that amount. In this city the individual
losses are as rule comparatively small,
but there are hundreds of them which
will make the aggregate enormous
The wind roared through tho streets
with noise like thunder, and houses lit
orally rocked upon theirfoundations The
Oldest inhabitant can recall nothing to at
Ill approach the gigantic fury of tho
storm kings revel. During tho two hours
Of terror, which kept n large part OF tho
population awake, the air was filed with
bricks, stones, slate, timbers and roofs OF
heavy sheet iron and tin, while gigantic
trees which had withstood tho storms of
Generations were ripped up by the roots
had tossed almost like toys.
The storm outside the city was scarcely
less severe. The destruction Of tho Penn
pylvania railroad bridge across the Sus-
puehanna at Columbia overshadows all
else In relative Importance. The bridge,
which comprised twenty-seven spans, was
completely demolished. 1t was insured
Tor 100000. Everything was carried away
sxcept tho stone piers, the single iron
epan and one Of tho shore spans. The
bridge proper was crushed to splinters. 1t
was lifted bodily off the piers and depos-
tied Just above in the water, II portion
resting on the piers. Not Il timber was
left standing.
! The Columbia bridge was ono of tho
longest covered bridges in the United
Etetss, being about mile and quarter
In leugth The bridge that spans the Sus-
at this point was originally
Asilt In 1879, but that structure was car
risd away by freshet. The bridge that
succeeded it was burned by the citizens of
Columbia to prevent the threatened In
,asion of the Confederate forces, which
were then in York county and mcnaced
this side of the river The loss to the Penn
tylvania railroad will be inestimnble.
1t is pretty well settled now that there
was no loss of life, as a search of the debris
hes failed to reveal the bodies of two men
who, it was feared, were on the bridge
when 1t was swept out Of existence by the
hurricane.
