VATICAN AGAINST MONARCHY
Startling Statement From the
 London Chronicle.
CO-ExISTENCE IMPOSSIBLE
Asserts That One or the Other Must Go With the Two There Can Never
 Be Peace.

London, Jan. 15.-The Rome correzpon- dent of the Daily Chronicle in startling statement this morning quotes largely from an article in Civilta Cattolca, which he declares is directly inspired by the vatican and the pope advocating as the solution of the eternal question between the vau- can and the quirnal the establishment of an Italian republic. The article, which Is based on the pope's Christmas allocution, declares that the thing which stands op- posed to papal independence is not Italian unity but the special and concrete form wherein that unity it at present main tained with results much more disastrous to the state than to the holy see''
 1t proceeds to assert that the co-exist- ence of the vatican and the Italian mon- archy is impossible and that one or the other must go. It then suggests the con- stitution of Switzerland and America as examples of admirable and glorious con- stitutions, true unities of nation and state, though differing from that of Italy which has produced nothing but weakness, misery and starvation
 The article concludes: "Without the aid of foreign bayonets the true Italy will find for itself it's own way and will rise again, let us hope from the ignominy in which it now lies prostrate to true greatness"
 The Daily Chronicles correspondent as- serts that this lis an international revela- tion to the outer world of the policy actuat- ing the inner mind of Cardinal Rampolla." (Papal secretary of state)
 He adds: Probably there would be no truth in the suposition that either Cardinal Do hod ,f a temporary alliance with the republican party; but yet they believe that while peace with the king is impossible it might be possible with a republic. The reason for the appearance of this astounding pro- nouncement at the present moment is the belief that not only the ministry, but the dynastry is menaced more seriously than usual"

The Kentucky Trust Company Appears To Be
 Deeply Involved.

Louisville, Jan 14.-President H. D. Orms- by, of the Kentucky Trust company, will make his report of the affairs of the com- pany to the board of trustees tomorrow, and it is predicted that not only will the report show that the company is in financial straits, but he will recommend that an assignment be made at once, so 1. that all creditors will be treated alike. That the company had not made an as- sgnment before this has been matter of much discussion.
 Every one calling for the money they had on deposit was informed of the order and that the company would not pay any of them until it was learned how matters stood.
 When asked today if the company will continue in business, MT. Ormsby said it would not. He also added that there was no hope of paying out dollar for dollar. Further than this, he refused to commit himself.

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
Issues Bulletin Treating of the Black Rot in
 Cabbage.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Farmers' Bulletin, No. 6S, just issued by the agricultural de- pertinent, treats of the black rot of the cabbage. It was prepared by Erwin E. Smith, chief of the division of vegetables, physiology and pathology. and describes the nature and prevalence of the disease, the sources of infection and gives practical sug- gestions for it's prevention.
 The disease is known to cabbage growers under different names, the common of which are "stem rot" and "blaek rot" Although it has come into prominence only within the last few years, it is said to be a serious hindrance to cabbage growing in several states. No way is known of curing the disease or of entirely ridding a locality of 1t when once it is well established The whole subject of treatment may be sum- med up in one word-prevention.
 The disease is not confined to cabbage, but attacks number of species belonging to the mustard family. It was studied in the field by the authorities for the first time last year, who visited the following places: Saginaw, Mich; Racine, Wis. Clyde, O.; Rochester N r., and Washington, D. c. In all these localities it has obtained a strong foothold and has already done se- rious damage. The injury at Racine during the last three years probably exceeds one hundred thousand dollars.
 Many suggestions are given for the pre- vention of the disease. The planting of other crops for long series of years, the bulletin says, seems to be the only satis- factory way of getting rid of it after once becoming serious. The belief is expressed that no danger is likely to ensue from the consumption of cabbage slightly affect ed with the rot, because the germ does not
