Cavour decreed that there should be

fused to recognize the rights of tenn
poral sovereignty once exercised by the

years has doubled its population and

The Vatican has been helpless In this
conflict with the state. Its Swiss

with usurping what once belonged to
the Latin Church exclusively.

CRANE AS A CORRESPONDENT.


Richard Harding Davis Writes OF HIS
Absolute FearIessness.
Near the close Of the war a group
OF correspondents in Porto Rico made
out list OF the events which, in their
opinion, were OF the greatest news
value during the campaign, and a list
Of the correspondents, with the events
each had witnessed credited to his
name, says Richard Harding Davis in
Harper's Magazine. Judged from this
basis, Mr.. Crane easily led all the rest.
OF his power to make the public see
what he sees, 1t would be impertinent
to speak. HIS story of Nolan, the
regular, bleeding to death on the San
Juan hills, is, 30 far as have read,
the most valuable contribution to lit
erature that the war has produced. It
is only necessary to imagine how other
writers would have handled II, to ap-
preciate that It could not have been
better done. His story OF the marine
at Guantanamo, who stood on the crest
of the hill to "wigwag" to the war
ships, and so exposed himself to the
fire Of the entire Spanish force, is also
interesting, as 1t illus
trates that in his devotion to duty, and
also in his readiness at the exciting
moments Of life. Crane is quite as
much of a soldier as the man whose
courage he described. He tells how
the marine stood erect, staring through
the dusk with half-closed eyes, and
with lips moving as he counted the

bassador is now on his way here from
Manchester by the Sea, and on the re-
ceipt of the notification he will proceed
in person to Chicago to deliver it to
the proper authorities there.
