THE POPE COMPLIMENTS US.
United states 10 Re Put I'm Direct Re-
Iaffons to Himself.


Rome Special in Philadelphia Press-5th.
ROME, December 5.--During an inter
view at the Vatican, Cardinal Rampolla
Papal Secretary OF State. informed the
correspondent that the Pope Is about
to afford a special proof Of his good will
| toward the United States. He declined
to add anything further by way OF ex-
PLANTATION.
From other sources OF an ecclesiasti-
cal character 1t Is learned that the Pom
tiff Is about TO publicly announce the
transfer OF the University OF Washington
from the control and supervision OF tho
propaganda to the Congregation OF
Studies. which Is n committee Of car
dnals and prelates presided over by Car
dinal Satolh. This was decided some
time ago. and is now about 10 be Off
cially announced. II is understood that
this is the token OF the Pope's regard
meant by Cardinal Rampoila.
The compliment TO the United States
In the matter Is to be found In the fact
that America has until now been re-
garded as being impartibus infdelium,
and az a missionary or heather coun- |
try. and as such subject to the great |
department here, known as |
the propaganda.
BY transferring the Washington Uni
versity 10 the Congregation Of Studies
Leo XIII. practically places the United |
States upon the same level with the full
fedged Catholic countries OF Europe
which are exempt from the control or

When the recent international naval
display took place I'm Hampton Roads II
was suggested that two Of the big battle
ships go out to sea and blaze away at
each other. in order to test their efficacy
as fighters. Russia has not made this
test in her navy, but she has done the
next thing TO il. In order to prove the
resisting power and impermeability Of
water-tight bulkheads, the Russian
admiralty caused the compartments Of a
battleship to be filled with water under
conditions analogous to those that would
obtain if the ship were pierced when
afioat. The New York Heralds Euro
pean edition says that the test showed
that from the lower deck upward the
bulkheads were perfect, letting in not a
drop Of water. Below, however, the case
was different. Here, not only all the
holes pierced for electric wires and other
installations, leaked, but there was
very perceptible escape of water around
the connecting bolts and through some
OF the seams. These defects, IT is added.
are, of course. easily remedied, but with
out the trial they would never have been
noticed, or not until too late.

MrKINLEY ON THE TARIFF.

President Mckinley, in his reference il
his message to the Dingley tariff, says
while its full effects have not yet beer
realized, what ii has already accom-.
plished assures US of its timeliness and
wisdom" Alas, we fear tits all too true
that its full effects have not been rea-
lied. Furthermore, if the deficit in our
revenues that has mounted up under ii is
an indication of what its full effects will
be, ii is to be hoped that they never will
be realized. When we consider that the
Dingley bill has accomplished in five
months deficit of some S4S,OOO,OOO, it
takes to see in it any Thickness or wis
dom an optimism past the comprehen-
sion OF the average man.
OF course, these observations are based
on the supposition that Mr.. Mckinley dis
cusses the bill as a revenue producer. IT,
however he discusses 1t as a trust and
fattener. our remarks do not
count, and we withdraw the intimations
that the President is mistaken as to what
the bill has accomplished so far and is
too sanguine as to the future.

KILLED BY FROST.
Total Destruction Of Large Number of
Washington Orchards in Bearing.

Washington Orchards in Bearing.
a dispatch from Tacoma, Wash,
states that the greatest damage by the
recent cold weather is just now coming
to light. Heavy frosts have caused the
total destruction OF large number of
orchards both on Puget sound and across
the Cascade mountains. Prune, peach
and apple trees have been destroyed by
the thousand. The apple trees are
thought to be damaged the least. Prac-
tically all the italian prune trees in
ThurstOn county were frozen by the
severe weather of the later part of No
vember, when for a week the mercury
ranged from 10 to 2 degrees above zero.
The loss in ThurStOn county alone is
placed at 100000 trees, many of them
of four, five and six years growth, and
some bearing this year for the first time.
At Olympia the mercury dropped to a
little below zero. At Walla Walla and
in Whitman county it went down to 20
degrees below zero. killing thousands of
trees. The fall has been unusually
much sap was still left in the bodies of
the trees When the weather suddenly
changed from summer to extreme Win
ter it froze the sap.
Reports from the Yakima and We
natchee valleys further north are TO the
same effect. Peach and Italian prunc
trees suffered the most there. Not since
1881 has such severe weather been eX-
perienced in the Northwest in Novem-
Der. The fruit growers are badly dis
couraged, but as rapidly as possible win
replenish their orchards with new trees.
Fruit-raising has been counted one of
the prospective great industries of the
state on account OF the splendid product
raised here and the fine market obtained
in the East. During the past season
over 600 carloads Of prunes and other
green fruit were shipped from Walla
Walla alone. Commencing six or seven
years ago a large proportion of new
settlers purchased fruit land either along
Puget sound Or the valleys of Eastern
Washington. Both the soil and the eli
mate of the Puget sound country have
been pronounced by experts to be particu
larry favorable to the growth of prunes,
and hundreds have engaged in the bust
ness Many growers expected to get
their first full crop next year and were
preparing to erect dryers. Now they
must wait six or seven years more. The
damage is found to be greatest on the
uplands away from the water.
1t is understood that orchards in Ore
gon sustained similar though perhaps less
extensive damages.
