CARDINAL GIBBONS
SCORES THE BELM0NTS
Declares the Recent Marriage of Mrs.
Sloane Was Crime Against
Christ

BALTIMORE, May cardinal Glib
bons in the course of his sermon at the
cathedral to-day on THE Unity of the
Church" characterized the recent divorce
and marriage of a society lady in New
York as a crime against Christ. His
Eminence said:
Consider the Pontiff in relation to
King Henry VIII, who asked for the
Popes sanction to a divorce, so that he
might marry again. The Pope refused to
give it saying, Whom God hath Joined
together let no man put asunder. Only
a few days ago the country was shocked
at woman in high life who was di-
vorced at o'clock and married again al
most before the ink was dry on the di-
vorce paper This is crime against the
law of Jesus Christ.
THE church is one in its teachings. 1t
is the same in France, England, Italy,
San Francisco on the Pacific and New
York on the Atlantic
''All proclaim the same doctrine. One
faith, one hope, one baptism and one
Lord God grant that you may not be
contented to be united to the church, but
to the spirit God grant that all may be
living branches and bear fruit

phoid fever was the cause of his demise
Higginson was well known here and was
a stanch friend of Southern California
He last visited Los Angeles about six
weeks ago. when he was the picture of
health. When President Ripley accepted
the presidency of the Santa Fe he en-
gagged the services of Mr.. Higginson, who
was then in the employ of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy.
1t is rumored in railroad circles tonight
that the death of Mr.. Higginson will
cause President Ripley, who is now in Eu-
rope, to return to American sooner than
was expected, as Higginson carried on his
chiefs work during the latter's absence.
Speculation is rife in the general offices of
the road here as to the successor of the
dead assistant. AS General Manager w.

fess to know that he is in line for pro-

STRIKERS STONE
THE STREET CARS
Several Passengers Are
Injured.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DULUTH, Mimi, May THE damage
done the rolling stock of the street rail-
way company by mobs in different parts
of the city to-day was greater than all
of that of last week over hundred car
windows were broken and three persons
were injured. Fred Fewings, clerk for the
Duluth, Missabe and Northern, had his
head cut by a stone. He will recover
Two women were hurt, one being cut in
the face by flying glass and the other
struck in the back by a stone.
Strikers or their sympathizers stole a
switch point this afternoon, causing a
cessation of operations on the part of the
road. The danger to passengers and the
damage to property were so serious that
the company abandoned all cars at 10
O'Clock: The police made but one arrest,
that of a small boy.
Strikers are intimidating Mrs. Leclair.
with whom the non-union men are board

the company visited the boarding house
and made overtures to buy the new men
off and get them to leave the employ of
the company Mrs. Leclair's barn was
fired on Saturday night, but no damage
was done.
The committee of business men re-
ported to the Mayor to-day that it was
unable to get the strikers and company
to come to terms, and asked to be re-
lieved from further duty. The strikers
attended church in a body, both morning
and evening.
The San Francisco call., 1899-05-08

Of criminal prosecution as was ever
commenced in the history of this cOun-
try. -rying between 700 and 500 men
is a task of enormous magnitude. We
propose to push the prosecution Vigor-
ously, however. I am obliged to go
back to Boise for few days on official
business, but will be back in about a
week and expect to spend the entire
summer in the Occur d'Alenes. Pris-
oners will be tried in both the State and
Federal courts. Murder and arson are
two of the charges the State will bring
against these men, and we hope to in
fiict extreme penalties. The State and
Federal authorities are working annie
ably together in the matter and will aid
each other as much as possible.
Something was done in this strike
that was never before done in the his
tory Of the United States. A single
company was sent into a district to
cope with 1000 rioters. I refer to the
company of the Twenty fourth Infan-
try from Spokane, commanded by Cap
tain Bachelor. 1t was necessary to in
trust this one company with the duty,
for others could not be got there quick
enough.
1T does not seem to be generally un-
derstood that Governor Steunenberg
called upon the Government for troops
before he knew Of the destruction of
the mill. He had heard report that
the mill was to be blown UP, but had
received no confirmation of the report
when he called on the President at 5
p. m. on Saturday for troops"
To-day's meeting Of the Coeur
d'Alene mine-owners was held at the
offices of Finch & Campbell. 1t was
called at the request of Attorney Cen
eral Hayes, who desired to lay before
the owners the mandate Of the State
and Federal authorities-that union
miners could not be employed in the
region.
Mr.. Hayes laid before US the ruling
that union men must not be employed. ."
said Mr. Finch. after the meeting. He
said. further. that the State authorities
would eN~oct our cooperation, and we
told him they would have it. OF course
we cannot get men right away and we
do not propose TO go out and look for
them. We are going to wait and see
If they come to US. There are certainly
a great many good men in the union.
but as Mr.. Hayes said when We told
him this. if they are good men they
can disavow their allegiance to the
unions and go to work. Until men suffl
cient to operate the mines come in, the
mines viii have to remain closed
down"

Nearly Two Hundred Thousand Men

Mother
sneoial Dispatch to The Call.


TACOMA. May THE Chinese Empress
intends to make show Of authority ~
Manchuria. where several outbreaks have
occurred between Chinese farmers and
Russian soldiers. Russia has absolute
control over rights of way for her rail-.
way enterprises. but is otherwise sup
nosed to observe local customs and land
titles. The Empress now proposes 10
drill a large body of men south OF PeklNS
and later transfer them to Manchura,
where they will guard Chinese interests
from Russian aggression.
To this end orders have been received
bv Yu Hsien, acting Tartar general Of
Nanking. commanding him to arm and
drill at once all Tartar troops in Lang
kiang provinces according to modern
methods. arms and ammunition to be sup
nIied bv Viceroy Iiu. The same instruc-
tions have been sent to Tartar generals at
Hangchow and Foochow. According 70
the latest census there were over $1,000
Tartar soldiers in the three ViceroyshlpS
named. .-
give Yu Hsien special military authority
in Langkiang provinces, independent or
first step toward that end. Doubts are
expressed as to the value of such move,
owing to this officials ineXperlence IN
military matters and in handling large
bodies of men.
Jung Lu, generalissimo of all the forces
in ChihiIi province, has received the ex-
press commands of the Empress DOwager
to mass all the troops under his com
mand in June next in the southern hunt
ing park where they are to unite with
the Peking field force and the new and
old imperial guards in a grand review be-
fore the Empress Dowager. It is COM
puted that nearly 100000 well-armed men
will be under arms on this occasion. AT
Shanghai it is considered likely the
Empress may seize this opportunity to
proclaim a new Emperor.
