An American Saved Kruger.


An American who was in South Area
during the Boer war tells the following
story of how he saved President Kruger
from death, or, at any rate, from capty-
ity.
He was in Bloemfontein at the time
when Dom Paul, General Joubert. ard
Pretorius, the heads of the Boer govern
ment. went there to beg Presi lent
Brandt, head of the Orange Free State,
to assist the Transvaal against the BIT
ish
While passing down the main street he
was stopped by an Englishman. who rap
idly detailed TO him plan whereby a
band Of Boer cOlonists were 10 kidnap the
three Boer officials on their return to he
Transvaal that evening, and carry them
into GriqualaDd West. The Englfsnman
explained that this coup would end the
war, and invited the American TO assist.
The Yankee replied that as an Ameri-
can citizen ne could not join the enter
prise, more especially as he sympathized
Syith the Beers. He. however, promised
not 10 divulge the plot
He observed the letter. but not the spirit
of his pledge. Entering the hotel where
the three Boer nagnates were dining he
sat down by Dom Paul and made cas-
ual suggestion that the party should re-
turn home earlier than they first intend
ed. in order TO have as much moonlight
as possible on their journey
The astute Kruger grasped his meaning
at once, and the party eft some houss
earlier than the tine originally fixed.

NOCOUNCIL CALLED YET
Catholic Bishops May or May
Not Meet in 1902.
AUMoR BASED SOLELY ON sURmIsE
SUCH MEETINGS HAVE BEEN
HELD EVERY TWENTY YEARS,
AND IN TWO MORE YEARS IT
WILL BE TINE FOR ANOTHER.

Local Catholics are interested in
the report that a Plenary Council OF
the Roman Catholic Church in Amer
lea would be held two years hence.
These rumors are doubtless the out
growth OF the well-known fact that
these councils are held about every
twenty years. and that two years
hence will mark the twenty year pc
riod from the time of the Plenary
Council Of Baltimore held in 1882.
The assembling of such a council is
an event Of unusual Importance to
the ehurch, as it brings together the
entire hierarchy of archbishops and
bishops to frame the legislation Of
the Church applicable to this coun-
try. Before it can be held, however
there must be a due determination by
the authorities in the country, and
then direction from Rome, for the as
sembling of the council. Priar 20
the council of Baltimore, the Ameri-
can archbishops made a visit to Rome
and petitioned the Vatican for the as
semhling OF the council. This prOce-
dure is not essential, yet some such
a council is to be held in 1902, it is
thought the coming meeting of the
American archbishops, which is TO be
held in Washington next October.
might consider the matter and frame
a petition to the Vatican. 1t is not
known, however, whether such q plan
is being seriously considered by the
prelates. and the report from the West
is said to be conjecture, which may
or may not prove true. Except that
Plenary Councils are held every
twenty years. and there is a desire to
make this the established period for
their assembling. there is said to bel
no special occasion for such an inn
portant convocation Of church au-
thorities.
The question OF "Americanism.
which has excited much attention. has
been disposed Of finally by the letter
of the pope, and Il is said this is not
q subject which could come before a
Plenary Council. The condition OIL
tse Church in Cuba and other Span
ish-American countries is working
out satisfactorily, and it is said this
would not require attention from a
council, particularly as the Cuban
