OBEDIENCE TO THE POPE.
An Official Statement Has Been Made by
the PauliSt Fathers.

New York. March 9.--The following Off
cial statement as to the action of the
Paulist fathers upon. the publication of
the recent letter of the pope on Ameri-
canism, whlch touched upSn the teachings
of the late Father Isaac I. Hecker. the
founder of the congregation of missionary
priests Of St. Paul the Apostle, as inter
preted In Able Klein's French translation
of his life. was issued to-day:
"As soon as the pope's letter to Cardinal
Gibbons had been published in the daily
papers the Paliist fathers sent telegram
to Cardinal Rampolla. assuring him that
they entirely acquiesced in the teachings
of the holy father and they would shortly
send him a letter expressing this more
fully. This was Immediately prepared and
sent. 1t was a detailed statement of the
absolute obedience of the Paulist fathers
to the letter and spirit of the popes
teachings. quoting their rule as to the
thorough spirit of obedience and loyalty
to Rome prescribed for the fathers.
"When new edition of the life of
Father Hecker is prepared 1t will empha-
size the pope's teachings and conform to
his Judgment in every respect
None of the Paulist community would
give any further details concerning the
letter sent to the pope preferring that any
further publication respecting it should
be made from Rome.
Following is copy of the cablegram
referred TO above which was sent to Car
dinal Rampola Immediately upon the
publication of the pope's encyclical, by the
Rev. George Deshon, superior general:
THE Paulist fathers about to dispatch
a letter of adherence. fully embrace the
teachings of Leo Kill"

No Decision Reached.

Washington, March 9.-Senator Harris
of Kansas and Representative Burton Of
Ohio. chairman of the house committee
on rivers and harbors, had a conference
to-day with the president in regard to the
committee to be appointed to investigate
the Nicaraguan and Panama canal routes.
Admiral Walker also saw the president on
the same subject Senator Harris sug-
gested to the president that he defer
sending outsthe new commission until the
commission headed by Admiral Walker
had submitted its report which will be
about the middle of April. The president
did not indicate what he would do in
the matter. but it is likely that he will
take no action, at least until after his
return from the South Admiral Walker
said he did not know whether the pres
ident desired him to serve on the new
commission or not.

TO BUILD A PLANT.
Steel Corporations Have the Matter Under
Consideration

Washington, March 9.--The navy depart
ment has been making some figures re-
gardng the supply of armor and the
prices to be paid At present there has
been authorized $1,000 tons of armor and
there is available for the purchase of this
armor sseOO,OOO. At the time the Bethle-
hem armor plant was erected there were
only 5000 tons of armor authorized by the
government, and there has been purchased
ny the government in all only 1904 tons
Of armor, 10000 tons more than the gov
ernment is now authorized to buy The
average price for armor per ton has been
Sa5I6 the minimum being $685.. 80 and the
maximum S61i.1S the higher price being
when nickel was being introduced. It is
estimated by the officials of the depart
ment that in case the estimate Of S400 per
ton as sufficient price for armor is cor
rect. that the difference from the price
asked, $9i5 per ton, would, in the manufac-
ture of $4,000 tons of armor, suffice to
build plant. If the government could
purchase the entire amount of armor au-
thorized with the $S0O0,00O available the
average price would be s342. 1t is said
that these figures are being considered by
large iron and steel concerns. Officials
at the department say that If the armor
can be manufactured for $500 per ton, and
the government has the money to pay
an average price of S342 per ton, that the
manufacturers are likely to look into the
matter pretty closely, as the profit of $5S
per ton will be well worth considering
In making these estimates the price of
Si00 per ton is allowed for the ships al
ready authorized under the naval appro-
priation act for the year ending June 80,
1895
The figures given above have been dis
cussed by officers of the department and
representatives of the armor plate manu-
facturers 1t has also been pointed out
that the government will not need any
of the armor until next February, and
meanwhile the armor plants of this coun-
try will be making the Krupp armor for
Russia. All this armor will be tested at
the government grounds at Indian Head
and the navy department will have knowl-
edge of all the experiments and be ready
to take advantage of all Improvements
which may be effected.

VOLUNTEERS COMING HOME.
Four Companies of Engineers at Hono-
lulu VIII BE Relieved.

Washington. March 9.-Four compan-
les of the I'd United States volunteer
engineers, comprising those at Homo
lulu are shortly to be called home They
have been on duty there since the out
break of the Spanish war, They have
been maintained at Honolulu and the
engineer troops will be relieved either
by four companies of the oath infantry
tcolored) now in Utah or by two or
more batteries of the 9th artillery. The
batteries of the 9Th artillery are now
in Manila and the remainder of the
regiment now distributed along the At
lantic coast under orders to proceed
there. Although not yet settled. it is
probable two or more of these batteries
will be utilized for military service in
Hawaii. In that case they will be
detached from the expedition on its
way to the Philippines.
General Shafter, commanding the de-
partment of California. has been in
formed that the 9Th artillery may be
utilized for this voyage and has been
instructed to recruit the regiment to
its maximum strength.

PERE HENRY'S CAPTIVITY.
Was Obliged to Witness the Murder Of
Many Christians.

Tacoma, Wash. March 9.-Oriental
advices just received state: The
Chungking correspondent of the North
China Daily News sends the following
thrilling story of Pere Henry's cap
tivity as related by himself:
'On the 18th of January Yu Man.
TIE found himself completely surround
ed by the fantai's troops. His escape
was impossible, so he came to me and
told me to get away to the imperial
troops. as the fantai has promised him
and his followers their lives if they de-
livered me up safely. | started away
Immediately, Yu Mantle accompany
ing me. We had not gone many Ii be-
fore we were overtaken by about 200 OF
Yu's men. who wished to kill me and
would have done so but for the earnest
exhortations of Yu. He explained how
the fantai had promised them their
lives and liberties If they delivered
me up, how that if they killed me now
they would be destroyed. and, finally
how the country would be invaded by a
foreign army, and they would be ex-
terminated. Yu'S counsels prevailed,
and the 200 would-be murderers turned
themselves into my body guard and es-
corted me to the outposts of the i'm
peria troops. Yu's men. a month ago.
numbered 5000, but he has only about
1000 now. the fantai having struck fear
into their hearts: 300 were killed in the
big fight a short while ago. | was
eated kindly during the whole of my
captivity. Any man Yu heard reviling
me he knocked down. Yu was quite
afraid to kill me, although l invited
him to do so. He carried me round
from city to city. and made me witness
the murder of many Christians. One
old man who was 65 years old was mur-
dered before my eyes. Yu is backed up
by the local officials and the gentry, the
latter hplninp him pOnSi1Cra blV with
money. the former by shutting their
