RADICAL CHURCH CHANGE.
Property in Wisconsin Will Nc
Longer BE Held by Archbishop.

Longer BE Held by Archbishop.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 29.-The re-
cent decision of the supreme court in
the suit brought by Archbishop Katzer
for the purpose of securing return
of taxes assessed against property owned
by him, which he claimed was church
property held in trust, has brought about
a radical change. According to the de-
cison, property, even; when held in trust
by the archbishop, Is subject to taxa
ton. AS 1t has been the custom for all
the property in the diocese to be held
by the archbishop, who on his death
wills 1T to his successor, 1t is readily
seen what the decision would mean.
All the Roman Catholic churches in the
Milwaukee diocese have been notified to
arrange for the incorporation of the
parishes. A circular. has been sent by
Archbishop Katzer to all the parishes
in the diocese instruGting them to hold
meetings Tuesday evening and to take
steps to incorporate wherever the parish
is not now Incorporated In case any
parish does not comply with his instruc-
tfons the archbishop intimates that it
will be in danger of being reduced to
mission charge.
AS soon as the parishes are incor-
porated and ready to receive the prop
erty it will be decided to them by the
archbishop and the title will hereafter
rest with the parish, instead of the
bishop of the diocese.

CzAR's NEW CRUISER.
Fastest Ship of Her Type to b.
Launched Tomorrow.

Launched Tomorrow.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2s-The Rus
sian cruiser Variag, which is designed to
be the fastest armored cruiser of her
class ever constructed by the Cramps,
will be launched on Tuesday with un-
usual display. Prominent Russian naval
attaches and government officials are ex-
pected at the christening. The choice
of the sponsor for the Warship has not
yet been made, but the favored one will
be either Miss Casini, niece of the Rus
sian ambassador, or Miss Mertnago
daughter of the Russian attache.
This new Russian cruiser, the con-
struction of which was begun in May,
1898, will be of distinctive type and will
represent the latest development of the
art of naval architecture as applied to
armored seagoing vessels. The builders
in this instance have been called upon
to solve the most difficult problem that
has confronted them in shipbuilding. The
plans call for a guaranteed speed Of
twenty-three knots for twelve hours. In
order to accomplish this task the ship
will be provided with water tube boilers
calculated to develop 26,O00 indicated horse
power TIL motive power is to consist
of two vertical-inverted triple expansion
four-cylinder engines driving twin screws
The vessel is 400 feet long, 81 feet BEAM
10 feet inches draught and of $500 tons
displacement Her main battery will
consist of twelve six-inch breeeh-loading
rifles and her secondary battery OF
twelve seventy-five millimeter and six
forty seven -millimeter guns, all of the
rapid-f1ring type.
The vital parts Of the vessel are to be
protected by steel deck, extending the
whole length Of the ship She will be
provided with two under water torpedo
tubes and four above water, and all
the auxiliary appliances and equipment
embody the very latest devices Of modern
construction.
The cruisers complement will consist
of twenty-one officers and 551 petty Of
f1cers and crew. asa
The Cramps are also constructing a
battleship for Russia to be named the
Retwizan. The contract for the two
vessels calls for their completion about
October, 1900.

SHOUTS FOR THE FLAG.
Ex-senator Martin Has His views as
to the Philippines.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 29.-Ex-United
States Senator John Martin, Demo-
cratic leader, said today in the course
of an interview: MANY of us> may not
be in harmony with the national admin
istration regarding the disposition of the
Philippines, but in the defense OF the nag
in the islands, we all have a patriotic
dutv to perform Our authority pract1-
callv has been established in the Philip
pines. and no right-thinking citizen will
demand that our military forces be
withdrawn.
"Other powers Of the earth have long
desired the Philippines, but now that we
havt obtained possession they are all
willing that we should keep them. We're
we to step down and out those powers
would grab the islands and divide them
with or without war, and, from the
standpoint Of humanity nothing would
be gained by our course. An then we
have our national honor to look out for.
1t would never do to haul down tho
flag"

LONDON IS ANXIOUS.
Situation at Ladysmith Critical
Without Being Really Alarming.

LONDON, Oct 30.-The position at
Ladysmith, although not alarming is
sufficiently dangerous to excite anxiety.
Evidently the Beers are trying to repeat
their Dundee tactics. Roughly estimated
they have 1900 men as against 1900
British Gen. Sir Stewart White has the
better artillery, but his is of lesser range.
The delay, in the Boer attack is reported
to be due to the non-arrival of Com
mandant General Joubert's column This
has given the British a much-needed re-
spite after their recent exertions Every
thing, it is now considered, hinges upon
Gen. Whites resource and judgment.
Nothing is known regarding the process
of defensive works for the protection of
Ladysmith.
The censorship is more active than ever
According to the Daily Chronicles cor
respondent, "the new regulations limit
the number of words allowed for press
dispatch to one-fourth the number allow
able before"
Farmers in the neighborhood of Lady
smith have left their farms and stock at
the mercy of the Beers and are congre-
gated in the town The two guns the
Beers have mounted are powerful weap-
ons. They were the ones used in shelling
Dundee and it is a matter of considerable
surprise how they managed to transport
such heavy pieces.
Again it is reported that President
Kruger accompanied Gen. Joubert to the
front in a splendidly fitted travelling
wagon.
The Standards correspondent at Lady
smith, telegraphing Saturday, sends a
sta tement that the Beers have capturerd
1900 mules, a loss that must seriously
inconvenience British transport
The attempt of the Beers to cut the
railway at Pieters was frustrated by the
British cavalry.
The wife of Gen. jan Hock has arrived
at Ladysmith under a flag of truce to
nurse her wounded husband All the un-
wounded Boer prisoners have been sent
to Durham to prevent any attempt at
rescue. ....-...,-.
The explanation of the alleged BoeT
massacre at Dundee appears to be that
a portion of the town guard. although
fairly warned by Gen. Yule before his re-
tirement, continued to carry arms, and
thirty of them were shot before the
Beers discovered who they were.
The body of Sir William Symons was
buried without a coffin, shrouded in the
Union Jack. Among the papers found
upon him was telegram from Lady
Symons congratulating him upon his
success.
The result of Ne first battle and the
evacuation of Dundee do not give those
affairs a. roster hue. Owing to the shelling
of Glencoe camp the telegraph operators
were compelled to scatter with numerous
unforwarded dispatches. When the Beers
entered Dundee they engaged in general
loottng of stores, but otherwise did not
modest the place.
In the first battle of Dundee the Beers
captured the Maxim of the Eighteenth
hussars, but only after the entire COM

PARIS, Oct 29-The Echo de Paris
publishes an interview with DR.. Leyds,
special representative of the South African
republic in Europe, who expressed the
belief that the decisive battle of the war
would occur at Ladysmith. He said that
although sympathizing with the Beers,
Europe would not intervene if they were
then defeated-at least not for the pres
ent. There was no question, he asserted,
of mediation by Germany.
In concluding the interview Dr. Leyds
said the Transvaal had negotiations pend
ing with France and Germany for laying
a cable to the continent, which were
about to terminate successfully when the
war broke out.
