SCHROEDER STILL IN.
The Professor Has Not Resigned
as Reported.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The case of
MoDsignor Schroeder continues to be the
absorbing topic among the Catholic pref
ates assembled here to attend the annual
meeting of archbishops. The official an
noUucement that the case was referred to
the pope was anade with the understand
ing that Monsignor Schroeder would
resign within the year. This has given
rise to another animated controversy.
Those who have pressed the charges
against Monsignor schroeder constrne
the promise to resign within the year as
equivalent to present resignation.
Monsignor Schroeder insists, however,
that he has not rendered his resignation.
The literal wording Of that portion Of
MonsigDor Schroeder's written statement
to the board is as follows;
81 am ready to make that sacrifice,
and will send my resignation to his emf
hence, the chancellor, within or at the
end of the scholastic year-but this res
ignation must be conditional on the ap-
prevail of the holy father"
Another subject that has aroused much
feeling is the published reports that Bis
hop Horstmann, of Cleveland, who acted
as attorney for Monsignor Schroeder be-
fore the beard, abandoned his client.
Bishop Horstmann denies this in toto.

DEPART MENTAL SHAKE-UP.
Preparing to Clean Out the Coast
and GeOdetiC Survey.

Washington, Oct % There will be
shake-up in the coast and geouetic sur
vey in few days. This department is
branch of the Treasury Department ann
is not usually subject to the political
changes which occur every four years.
Secretary Gage, however, has become con.
WINGED that it is not up-to-date in it's
methods and he proposes to infuse some
new blood into the bureau. To-day the
Secretary, in accordance with President
Mckinley's recent civil service extension
older, wrote to three of the oldest men
in the service calling upon them to show
cause why they should not be reduced in
rank and pay. The men who received
these unwelcome letters were O. H. Tit
man, Of Illinois, the assistant in charge,
John f. Pratt, of Vermont, and G. A.
Schott, of Washington, chief of The COM
putting division. Iittman has been con-
nected with the coast and geodetic sur
vey for forty nine years, and receives q
salary of a 900 year. Schott gets the
same amount, and Pratt's place pays
him SO 1000.
1t is said that the shake up will be eX-
tended to the other prominent employees
of the bureau and that most of them will
either resign OF accept subordinate posi-
tions with small pay

NEW WEAPON is TERRIBLE.

One Pull of the Trigger Empties Six
Chambers OF Revolver in Two Seconds.
San Francisco, Oct. 23.-Something
entirely new and terribly destructive in
fire arms is on exhibition in this city.
What is perhaps the most powerful
revolver in this country has just been
received FROM Bavaria by Theodore
Kytke. This weapon is the invention OF
Bridgmann, the Bavarian mechanic, and
is called an automatic pocket pistol, be-
cause all it requires is for the marksman
To pull the trigger once, whereby it
empties itself of six loads in two seconds,
sending II 42-calibre steel bullet with
such velocity that IL siXinch hardwood
plank is pierced ar me distance of 800
y,.rds.
That it will do all that is claimed for
it has been conclusively demonstrated by
experiments made by Chief OF Police
Lees and others.
