the American College in Rome. In
spite of his having been brought up at
the expense of the church, he is now
apparently very wealthy, and his elab-
orate entertainments constitute very
important feature in the Vanuntelli
canvass. In any case, the Cardinal
and the American prelate are on the
most intimate terms, have recently
been photographed together, with the
Cardinal seated on a sort of throne.
and his American friend standing be-
side, leaning over to him, as if whis-
perlng words Of counsel in his ear.
In this connection story is current
of an incident which took place at
banquet given the other day by Mgr.
O'Connell in honor of Cardinal Vanu
telli. for the purpose of enabling the
latter to meet some foreign Cardinal.
After the latter had left, the remain
der OF the guests set aside some of
their formality and restraint, and the
American prelate suddenly put out his
hand, removed the scarlet cap from
the head of Cardinal Vanutelli who
was seated on his left hand. and then
replaced 1t, having turned it inside out,
so that one saw nothing but the white
satin lining and none of the red. The
meaning of this will be readily unae. :
stood when it is stated that the Pope
alone of all the members of the Ro-
man Catholic Church wears a white
skull cap. The Cardinal smiled in q
sort of pleased way, and then, without
saying word. turned 1t back with the
scarlet outside, and then placed it on
the head of Mgr. O'Connell, thus prac-
tically promising by gesture, and with
out making any utterance, that if he
ever became Pope he would make Mgr.
O'Connell a Cardinal.
There Is, however, but little likeli-
hood of Vanutelli ever being elected to
the chair of St. Peter For, in the first
place, he has the disadvantage of hav-
ing brother in the sacred college,
namely, Cardinal Vincent, and, second
ly. he is burdened with perfect army
of relatives, some of them employed by
the papacy, and others looking for
employment. The best known of all
the Cardinals relatives, and probably
one of the most influential, is Gen.
Kanzler, Swiss by birth, who is Com
mander-in-C of the papal army.
His wife is the sister of the two Car
dinals.
l am assured here that Mgr. O'Con-
nell has secured the promise of Cardin-
al Gibbons vote for the election of
Cardinal Serafino Vanutelli at the
next conclave. Vanutelli is likely to
enjoy the support Of the triple alliance,
as the champion Of which he poses in
the sacred college. He was formerly
nuncio at Vienna, and has spent some
time in America.
cable this because it is the first
time that American prelates are taking
part In a campaign which has as It's
object the election OF Pope

Hear In n r.odg,n- House.

Chief Of Police sl'gevne of M.ssou-
la, Mont. placed Otto Siegel under ar
rest for maintaining nuisance. The
cause OF the trouble is the pet bear
that belongs to Siegel, which has caus-
ed so much excitement of late
in the neighborhood OF the Mon--
tant Hotel. The latest prank of
the bear was his entrance in
to the second story Of the lodging house
and restaurant occupied by Harry
Sheppard. He went upstairs unobserv-
ed. and when he got into the sleeping
rooms he upset the beds and other fur
niture and tore up bedding. Finally
he pulled down a cage containing two
birds and put an end to the inmates OF
the cage.

in September, 1886, having journeyed
by wagon all the way and having prov
ed it possible to take emigrant trains
from the Mississippi to the Pacific
coast.
In 1842 there were 322 Indian fam
lilies which, under their tuition, had be-
gun 10 cultivate the soil. In Septem-
ber of that year Dr. Whitman met at
dinner table at Walla Walla several
Of the chief officers of the Hudson Bay
Company, and heard what convinced
him that efforts were being made to
stimulate immigration from the British
possessions and to raise over the whole
Territory the British flag. Excusing
his hasty departure, he rode twenty
five miles to his home, and before he
had leaped from his saddle announced
his purpose: Il am going to ride to
Washington, God carrying me through,
and bring out an immigration next
season which will save this Territory
to the United States"
Within twenty-four hours he had
started, with one companion, who,
worn out by toll and exposure, was
obliged to remain at Bent's Fort on
the Arkansas River until spring. Af-
ter suffering untold hardship with his
ears, face and hands frozen, DR.. Whit
man reached st. Louis in February,
1S43, and on March 8 he arrived in
Washington, five months from the time
of starting.
His first question on reaching civil
ization was as to the Ashburton treaty.
He was told it had been concluded. I.
"How about Oregon?" Left out of
the treaty." was the reply. The whole
question Of the boundary west Of the
Rocky Mountains had been reserved
for future settlement. DR.. Whitman
was able to give such information as
to the value and the accessibility of
the country as determined American
statesmen not lightly to surrender it.
Daniel Webster said to him that noun
tains and deserts made communication
with Oregon impossible.
II took a wagon over the noun
tains," replied DR.. Whitman, "and have
the wagon now" The same summer
DIR. Whitman conducted party oi
nearly nine hundred emigrants, with
121 wagons, across the mountains into
Oregon and practically settled the
question as to which flag should float
over that vast domain. Legal effect
was given to it by the treaty of 1916.
The hostile influences, however, OF
the Hudson Bay Company and others,
continued to work on the minds of the
Indians, with the result that on No
vember 20, 1S47, he and his wife, with
thirteen other persons, were foully
massacred by the people they had come
to benefit. Whitman College has since
been founded there -

To add to its standing among the hills

POPE'S SUCCESSOR.

American Preiates Taking an Active Part
For the Frss Time-Leo XIII. is Getting

At Rome the all-absorbing topic of
the hour Is the manner in which Car
1inal Serafino Vantelli Is canvassing
votes for the next conclave, with the
object of securing the succession to
Leo Kill, cables a correspondent of
the Louisville Courier-Journal. Never

1uring the lifetime of any pontiff, and
he Holy Father is greatly offended by

members of the sacred college who

Not one of them Is permitted to leave

The inconveniences Of learning to

suspended several straps, each one of
