As Indicated by the Pope's
.Outgiving
THERE IS BUT ONE SOLUTION
OF THE VATICAN AND QUIRINAL
QUESTIONS
That Is the Establishment Of an
italian Republic Based on the
II American Model
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
LONDON, Jan. 15.--The Rome corre-
spondent of the Daily Chronicle, In a
startling statement this morning, quotes
largely from an article in Civilta Cato
lica, which he declares Is directly In
spired by the Vatican and the pope, ad-
yocating, as the solution of the eternal
questions between the Vatican and the
Quirinal, the establishment of an Italian
republic.
The article, which is based on the
pope's Christmas allocution, declares
that the thing which stands opposed to
papal independence is not italian unity,
but "the special form in which that
unity is maintained, results much more
disastrously to the state than to the
holy see." 1t proceeds to assert that the
coexistence of the Vatican and the Ital-
ian monarchy is impossible and that one
or the other must go. 1t then suggests the
constitutions of Switzerland and Amer
lea as an example of admirable and
glorious constitutions; true union of ma
ton and state, though differing from
that of Italy. which has produced moth
ing but weakness, misery and starva-
tion.''
The Daily Chronicles correspondent
asserts that this is IAN intentional reve-
lation to the outer world of the policy
actuating the inner mind of Cardinal
Rampolla (papal secretary of state.)"

HAPPY MINERS
Four of the Five Imprisoned Men
Released

ANACONDA, Mont, Jan. 14.-At noon
today, after forty hours Of imprisop
ment and anxiety, four of the five men
who were in the tunnel near this city
that caved in near it's entrance as the re-
suit of dynamite explosion, crawled
through hastily constructed exit into
the light of day. An improvised tun-
mel had been driven through the debris
that closed the entrance to the tunnel
Itself, The construction of this was a
painfully slow process, owing to the
constant shifting of the ground. Tho
rescue tunnel was fifteen feet long
When they crept through it into liberty
the miners who had been imprisoned
were found to be in good physical condi-
ton. and they hastily left the place.
Jack Mcleod was the only one of the
Ave imprisoned men who died. His
comrades say that from the moment of
the explosion he suffered from the fumes
of the powder, which bothered them all
for about five hours. Mcleod could not
endure 1t. He died in a few hours, and
his body was removed from the tunnel
this afternoon.

A WICKED WOMAN
Sir Tatton Says His Wife Forged His
Name

LONDON, Jan. 14.-Sir Edward
Clarke. @. c., opened for the defense to-
day in the suit of Daniel Jay to recover
from Lady Sykes, wife of Sir Tatton
Sykes, the sum of G15S50 loaned to the
defendant on the security of notes APP
parently signed by her husband.
Sir Tatton Sykes testified that the
signatures were not his.
The expert in handwriting, named
Englis, testified that the signatures on
the bills and letters of authority pur-
porting to be signed by Sir Tatton
Sykes were, in his opinion, fNgeries,
executed by woman.
Sir Tatton Sykes denied, generally, his
wife's evidence. and said he regarded
the transaction with Mr.. Jay as being
wicked and criminal conduct" on the
part of her ladlyship.
Lawson Walton, Q, c., cross exam
ined Sip, .Tatton Sykes, and showed
him two checks which a Monte Carlo
banker yesterday testified Sir Tattop
had signed and afterwards repudiated.
The baronet positively denied having
signed them. He further said the story
of the banker (Mr. Unwip) on the sub
ject was a fiction.r-- r.. .y. 0rt- --

"that Lady Sykes has been forging
your name?' -.danl..,

maybe it was twelve years ago."
answered the witness. "The first forgery
was for 10000. In December, 1896, I
became aware that my signature had
been forged in a number of transac-
tions."

oARTER.s CASE
Evidence Given Concerning Cumber-
land Sound Work

1hnu oOuuu Work
SAVANNAH, Ca, Jan. 14.-Captain
Cassius Gillette was the first witness
in the Carter courtmartial this morn
ing. He was on the stand some time and
testified as to the work under his su-
pervision and relative to the method
by which 1t was done by the Atlantic
Construction company. He told Of the
work of the Cumberland sound being
taken out of his jurisdiction. He recited
the facts insidental to his inspection of
material of the Cumberland sound work
and said 1t was not constructed lightly,
as 1t should have been. Before he could
reply to query from Judge Advocate
Barr as to the probable cost of the ma
terial inspected, Carter's attorney inter-
posed an objection to the question and
Its relevancy was argued for some time.
General Otis announced that the court
would not sustain the objection. The
question as to the intrinsic value of the
mattress in question was then asked
Captain Gillette again. He said it was
not up to specifications, and in his
judgment cost the contractors from 10
to Is cents square yard.
The mattress in question measured
about 5000 yards square or more and at
the contract rate Captain Gillette said
1t would cost the government about
$4,000. He also testified to having for
hidden the use of certain stone which,
he said, according to reports of his in
spectors, did not come up to the specifi-
cations. Some brush was brought into
court as evidence, it having come from
the brush companies of the contractors

up by his orders. 1t was fascines, he
said, but was such material as had been
used in some of the mattresses by the
contractors. The examination of Cap
tain Gillette will be resumed tomorrow

I MRS. SHAFTER DEAD
The Second Paralytic Stroke Proved
Death Blow

{. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.-Mrs. Har-
riet Shafter wife of General William r.
Shafter, commanding the department of
California, died at her home at Fort
Mason at 1910 today. The stroke Of
paralysis which she received on Wednes-
day proved her deathblow, and from the
time of the seizure she has been grad
nally sinking to her end. She had a
similar attack two years ago while liv-
ing at Angel island. Her recovery from
this was, however, so remarkable that
