Of the United States embassy In Lon
don, and many princes and princesses
were present at the famous Plains OF
AIdershot today to witness a review Of
over $4,000 of the best troops in the
kingdom.
This review is interpreted in London
tonight as a means of satisfying Queen
Victoria that her troops are ready for
any emergency they may be called up
on TO meet, in the Transvaal or else
where. Il is known now that the queen
returned from Balmoral castle, Scot
land, mostly for the purpose Of attend
ing this review, and in view OF the fact
Of her matesty's natural reluctance TO
attend such functions. the importance
of this review is manifested.
Not since the queens jubilee has a
more magnificent army corps passed
before a European sovereign, and
while 5000 additional troops remained
in their barracks, the display afforded
the queen ample evidence Of her mill
tary resources. All the regiments
which took part in the review were
those which would answer the first
hurry call TO arms for the Transvaal or
elsewhere. and as the various battal-
ions swung past the royal carriages.
their figures evoked the heartiest ap-
plause. Nearly $1,000 infantry, 50 guns
and $500 horses made UP this magnih-
cent display

North Brookfield, June 26.-The
French-speaking Catholics Of St. JOS
eph's parish refuse to accept the ulti-
matum of the cardinal project of the
propaganda, telling them that they
could not be granted a church and
pastor of their own. What is more,
they assert without hesitancy that the
letter they received is not an answer to
the appeal sent to Rome, but an answer
to one that Bishop Beaver sent him
self.
They go even farther and state that
the letter which Bishop Beaver sent to
the committee is entirely different
from that which was read to the COM
mittee at the episcopal residence on
Wednesday. The Spy's exclusive news
that the vatican had refused to grant
the petition was read with great in
terest.
The French people who had not
heard the outcome of the visit to
Springfield, were thrown into a furor
of excitement, as 1t was directly CON
trary to what they had hoped for. But
as The Spy said would be the case
they sturdily maintain the same
logged perseverance that has charac-
terized the fight since it's inception, and
they say they will never yield.
Today Eugene Mineau, chairman OF
the committee. told The Spy reporter
that the letter was not in answer to the
one that went to the cardinal prefec
from here, but an answer to something
the bishop must have sent himself. The
letter signed by him and the other
members of the committee was written
and dated May 20. according to his
statement, while he claims that the
copy he received from Bishop Beaven
purporting to be the answer, is dated
May 16
Thus he believes there is another
chance, and If there is 1t will be eager
ly grasped. Mr.. Bowler, secretary of
the committee, is of the same mind. He
wrc.e to Bishop Beaver, stating that
there was a mistake. and this morning
a. letter was received from the bishop,
telling his stand in the matter. Bishop
Beaver, in today's letter. does not

James G. Macpherson Of Austin street.

sions, at New York, to the reformatory

PROTEST. THE BISHOP.

WillContinue the Contest.

claim that the copy was an answer to
the appeal of the French people of
North Brookfield, but the final decree
of the highest tribunal Of the Catholic
church, from which there is no appeal.
Thomas Martell, who has been promin-
ent in the struggle, was greatly
wrought up over the turn affairs have
taken, and stated very strongly in his
opinion his people have not been fairly
treated. That the decree comes from
the cardinal project he refuses to be-
lieve and openly claims that It is
merely continuance of the way
Bishop Beaver has acted right along.
Secretary Bowler said today that it
Is very hard to fight the church author
tiles combined as they stand by each
other. but that he believes the justice
of their claims viii be admitted yet, at
tonight's meeting in Depot hall.
At the meeting tonight 1t was an
nounced that Bishop Beaver had noti-
fled the committee that the letter which
the committee received was not an an
swer to the letter which they sent to
Rome.
1t was a reply to one sent by Bishop
Beaver on April "a. This letter was
read at the general meeting tonight. 1t
says:
"That after considering the case Of
the French speaking people Of North
Brookfleld, the propaganda have de-
cided that there was no reason for the
existence of such a state of affairs.
also that his holiness Pope Leo XIII.
disapproved of their actions and coun-
seled them to return to their church
with all possible submission"
After the letter was read it was unan-
imously voted to protest the action OF
the bishop and continue the fight. The
letter was sent to Rome by the commit
tee representing the French speaking
Catholics IS expected to bring an an
swer. The same committee is left in
charge to pursue whatever course 1t
thinks best.
Thus the secession from ST. Josephts
church of more than two years dura-
ton continues.

SHE is ALIVE AND WELL.
Mrs. Joel Deforge Is Housekeeper For
John Bugbee at North BrookfieId.

North Brookfield, June 26.-Mrs. John
DeForge, who for brief period was
claimed by her husband to be the vic
tim Of the Sterling swamp mystery, is
alive and well.
She is keeping house for Joel Bugbee
about three miles from North Brook
field, where she talked with Spy man
quite freely tonight.
Mrs. DeForge says she fears her hus-
band, and when the reporter called she
feared he was an officer, and for few
moments refused to talk.
Two weeks ago last Saturday Mrs.
DeForge came here from Worcester
and went to work for Joel Bugbee. She
engaged as housekeeper under the
name of Miss Stewart.
Bugbee has known the identity OF
Miss Stewart" since last Saturday.
Then he went to Worcester to visit
his mother, on Stafford street, where
he learned the facts.
Mrs. Deforge says she has been away
from her husband for the past five
months. and positively will never re-
turn to him. She did not believe that
Deforge ever suspected that she was
the swamp victim.
She asked The Spy man IL she could
be made to return to Deforge. She
declares that he was crazy and only
wanted to make her trouble
The couple had lived together in
Burlington, VT, Greenfield and North
Adams, this state. Her fathers family
now reside in Burlington, VT.
Mr.. Bugbee says that since Saturday
he has wanted to communicate with
Deforge, to advise him of her where
abouts, but to this Mrs. Deforge would
not agree.
Since Mrs. Deforge left her husband
she has lived in Worcester and Gin
ton. While in Clinton she boarded with
Mrs. Willard at Depot square.

WHO WAS THE MAN p
Officer John o'suIIvan Finds Coincl-
dence If Not Clue.

Sunday morning June 4, horse an
swering the description of one which
stood in the brush at the junction of
the Lancaster and lower Sterling roads
seen by Alexander Wade and Gateman
Osgood, was seen on Main street in
Worcester by Officer John O'Sullivan,
John Minon, a clerk in Green's drug
store, and Robert Callahan, a clerk in
the Star lunch room.
Mr.. Wade, who saw the team in the
brush near Clinton, thinks that clue
to the identity of the body found in the
Sterling woods may be discovered If
the owner Of the rig which stood in the
brush can be found.
The animal seen by the three Wor-
cester men was dark bay, and was
led along Main street by a young man
about % years old. He was about )
feet, 6 inches tall, and asked officer
OSullivan the road to Hartford, Conn.
The appearance of the animal plainly
showed that he had seen the best mart
of long life. His hind leg was swollen
! and had the appearances of what
Is known to horsemen as a milk leg"
The animal walked as if in pain. and
its appearance appealed to Officer
OSullivan, who asked if it was the
young mans intention to lead the ami
NAL all the way to Hartford. The
young fellow replied that it was, and
| after getting a lunch in Marshall's
dining room, he started off down Main
street towards New Worcester.
The young man came from Lincoln
square with the animal and Il was
about o'clock in the morning when
he talked with the officer. He did not
say where he came from or where he
got the animal.
1t may not be significant, but it is
worthy of comment that the person
who hitched the horse with milk
leg" in the brush near the swamp
where the body was found ana the
party who drove through this city
leading a horse with milk leg" but
a week or two afterwards and coming
from the direction of Clinton and Sterl-
| ing. were both early risers and began
their journeys before many people
| were stirring.

Unless some other person comes for

the teeth fell out of the jaw. His large
experience furnishes him the record of
no similar case.
Tonight it looks as if the mystery Of
the Sterling swamp would always re-

A card has been received by Chief
Bates from Hugh Deforge of North

Waterbury, VT, blacksmith, who
thought the dead woman was his wife.
Young Deforge asks if the identitica-
