POPE LEUS ALLOCUTION.
New Meapin@ Placed UEon 1t by a
NevspaCer Article.

London. tan-i15-The correspondent
of the Chronicle at Rome sends what
he describes as an important amplifi-
cation of the Pope's Christmas allo-
cution. which appears in the form of
an article In tie new Civita cattolica,
which, th vtiter says, is the most
powerful Vatican organ. 1t is edited
by a picked staff of leading Jesuits and
is closely eserseen by the Vatican. Civ
ing the text of the allocution, the cor
respondent sends the following:
When was it ever forbidden a state
to enter the path of just reparation"'
The writer remarks that the allocu-
ton was partly occaSioned by Prime
Minister Rudini's circulars of SepIem-
Der and October, in which the projects
were ordered to suppress the clerical
propaganda directed against free in
stitutions and national unity.
The writer then proceeds to make the
startling announcement that the CO.
existence in Rome of the Vatican and
the Italian monarchy is impossible.
The allocution contends that there is
no reason why the precise form of the
integrity of the unity of Italy should
not be modified.
The writer hardly troubles himself
to repel the accusation that such q
pronouncement may be regarded rs
revolutionary, and the concluding APP
peal may certainly be so regarded.
This is as follows:
Without the aid of foreign bayonets
the true Italy will find for Itself It's
own way and rise again, let us hope,
from the ignominy in which it now lies
PROSTATE to its true greatness"
The Chronicle claims to have the best
reason to know that the article is an
intentional revelation TO the world of
the policy which the intimates IF the
Vatican have long known as the inner
mind Of Cardinal Rampolla, the Papal
secretary Of state. Ii would probably
be untrue to suppose that the Pope al
Cardinal Rampolla has any idea Of an
alliance with the Italian republicans
who are mostly anti-clerical, but they
wish it to be seen that, while they le-
gard it impossible to make peace with
a King reigning in Rome. they could
| do so with a Republic. The present
| moment was probably chosen for the
| pronouncement because il is believed
| that not only the existing ministry, but
| the dynasty itself is more seriously
menaced than usual.

NO WORD FROM KJELLMAN.
The War Depa rtment Anxious for
Advices About the Reindeer.

The War Department is awaiting adj
vices for Agent Kjellman. who had been
instructed to purchase 500 reindeer in
Norway for use in the Klondike. If the
reindeer have not been purchased it is
quite likely that the order Will be can
Celed, inasmuch as il has been conclud-
ed that the animals cannot be had here
in time. The reasons for this were Civ
en- at length in The Times yesterday.
1t is believed that the plan first suS-
gested by Gen. Miles, commanding the
Army. for the use of draft horses viii
eventually be adopted.
There never has been any attempt 10
get shiploads of reindeer across the Al
lantic. There is reason to believe that
if the 500 reindeer were shipped in on"
steamer, as contemplated. the mortality
would be very great.
One question with which the War De-
partment will have to deal is what will
be done with the reindeer if they have
been purchased.

THICR-wITTED POSTMASTERS
Deputy Auditor Castle Tells How
They Make Money-9Fder Mistakes.

They Make MOHey-0Tder Mistakes.
Rural pOstmasteTs are making life a
misery for hundreds Of clerks and ac-
countants in the Postoffice Department.
Between now and the first of July no
less than 5000 of these country mail
distributors will have been initiated
into the secrets Of money order making.
and if the auditing department of the
Postoffice gets through it all without
giving up the ghost it will be big sur
prise to some who are now wrestling
with the first fruits of the new crop.
There are u 900 money order Offices
In operation now" said Deputy Auditor
Castle. and by the end Of the fiscal
wear there will be $4,000 of them. The
additions are all in the country dis
tricts and the errors these fellows are
making are enough 10 drive the de-
partment insane. Many Of these post
masters apparently cannot read in
structions. in the first place. or follow
them when they are told. in the sec
ond. The result is that they make out
money orders for hundreds of cents. get
their stamps mixed, make breaks in the
dating of the orders. give patrons the
wrong kind of orders and make the de-
partment look silly generally The
greatest difficulty with these thick
thumbed. thick-witted gentlemen seems
10 strike them when they proceed To
tear off the dollars and cents division
marked upon the blank orders. This
department will breathe easier when all
the rural postmasters become past
masters at money order making.

MRS. yRCOMAN ENTERS SUIT.
Desires IA Deed of Trust To Her
Brother Set \ : ide.

Baltimore, Md. Jan. 15.--Mrs. Annie
l.. Vrooman, wife of Walter Nroeman.
the political reformer of st. Louis. has
entered suit here to have set aside a
deed of trust conveying her interests
in the estate of her father The estate
is worth 81, 900. 900, and Mrs. Vrooman' s
interest is 100000.
According to the bill of complaint and
Mrs Vrooman's testimony, her father
died without leaving a will. Her mar
riage with VTooman caused a disagree
ment with her brother, II. Graffln. In
order not to embarrass her brother in
business on the advice of her father S
attorney, she signed what she suppos-
ed to be a deed of trust revokable after
five years.
Soon after reaching st. Louis Mrs.
Vrooman showed the deed TO her huS-
band, who told her that she had decided
all her property to her brother. To con-
vince her that she had been deceived
he went with her to Ex-Governor
Stone. of Missouri, who verified Mr..
Vrooman's statement. Mrs. Vrooman
then upbraided her brother by mail
and brought suit.
Mr. Graffiin says his sister knew the
purpose of the deed. He also charges
that Mr.. Vrooman married his sister
because she was wealthy.

The hypocrisy of the Sugar Trust, in
pretending TO befriend the beet farmer,
is too transparent to be finally danger

treaty was negotiated the Trust con-
trolled the entire Hawaiian production.
IL that treaty had been ratified, that
production would have thereby become

tariff law, then in force, would have
been entitled to a bounty of two cents

But the Trust no longer controls the

infiniteslmal difference to il on the

SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1898.


In spite Of State Department eVaslons
there is ground for believing that on
yesterday, Gen. Lee reported the secret
organization Of a much greater out
break than has yet occurred in Havana.
He advised that for Two days mob had
been organizing. intended by its lead
ers to fight the regular troops. and.
doubtless. to overthrow Blanoo- This,
Of course. means that the Havana vol
unteers are ready for mischief, and ii Is
possible that it has come already. II
not. then there is little room for ques-
ton that IL will not be long delayed. A
great majority Of the Spanish officers
and soldiers are openly in sympathy
with the riotous protest against au-
tonomy. That is sufficient to account
for the half-hearted way in which Blan
co. so far. has faced the situation. 1t is
but too evident that he has feared L

cause he cannot trust his troops.

JUDGE McCOMAS' CHANCES.
His Election as Senator Confidently
Predict ed by Gov. IowndeS.

Baltimore Jan. 15.-.An emphatic de-
NAL has been given by Governor
Lowndes to the story that Baltimore
and Ohio railroad influences were back
of his withdrawal as candidate for
United States Senator. de said, how
ever that some of his closest friends
were connected with the railroad and
that he did consult one of them before
he decided to retire. The Governor al
so expressed his opinion on the present
status of the fight for Senator, say
ing:
The Democrats are so bitter in their
denunciations. of the Baltimore and
Ohio and John r. Cowen, its president,
that they may be depended upon to
fight to the very last ditch against any
thing that the railroad may happen to
want in the legislature. 1t would only
take a few Republicans to make the
number great enough to turn down any
bill that was fancied to be in the inter-
est of the Baltimore and Ohio or to pass
any that would in any way injure the
railroad"
Asked about the various rumors as
to the use of patronage in the Senator
: ial fights. the Governor said:
1T is my firm determination Ihat the
| patronage of this Office shall in no way
] figure in choosing a successor to Sen
| ator German. | shall reappoint the OF
/ fcers 1 appointed two years ago, eN-
! cept in cases where il is practically
| demonstrated that the appointments
| have not been good ones.
The Governor predicts the success of
| Judge McComas and declares that he
| does not believe the Republican party
! can get a corporars guard in Mary
| land if il fails, while engaged in fac
! tional pickering. to elect a Republican
| Senator and permits German TO slip

| Senator and they will hold a caucus
| tomorrow to determine whether IL shall
| Ice General ShTyock or Major Shaw.
| Mayor Master favors the latter, and
so do a majority of the eleven who con-
| troll the situation.
Lloyd Wilkinson, the Democratic
| leader in the legislature, denied that
any deal existed with the boiling Re-
| publicans on the SenatCrship, but he
continued:
IF we see any way to make German
| Senator again we will do it. We are
| going to be carefully on the lookout foI

There has been some inclination at
the State Department to reassure the
friends of Americans in Havana, by
allowing IL to be known that Gen. Lee
has authority to order one or two war
ships to his assistance. whenever he
thinks that course necessary. We are
glad to see the Administration make
even this small departure from its set
tied Spanish policy; but. as we have
repeatedly warned Mr.. Mckinley, he
takes grave risk in waiting for any
signal from our representative in Ha
vana. In the event Of an insurrecrion
resulting from intelligent conspiracy.
and that is what is expected, the natu-
raj thing for the conspirators TO do
would be To cut the cable in advance
II the outbreak. and so secure clear
day i'm which to wreak their vengeance
on the hated Americans in the city.
Mr. Dupuy de LONE was active yester-
day in asserting that the tumult had
