THE PAPAL LEGATION

washington, Jan 1s (specaD.-The members OF
the Papal Legation in this city believe that the al
legged encyclical absolving the clergy OF the Latin
American republics from the VOWS OF cehoacy'
which recently sent from Rome, Is a forgery
although they admit that they have received no
Information that subject from the Vatican. and
suggest that perhaps 1t may be founded upon
meagre basis of fact
Two centuries ago or more the bishops and priests
of South America applied to the Pope for a re-
lease from such vows, but after due consideration

request.

it may be that this subject under considera-

Church in South America. 1t has frequently been
asserted by prominent prelates Of Latin America
that the intellectual and moral standing Of the
clergy cannot be advanced unless marriage is per-
mitted because the better class of young men will

suggested that there would be a great Improvement
in the intellectual character OF the candidates for
the ministry if permission to marry was granted
AS already stated. the Church has once decided
that the Pope has power to grant such absolu-

of the Papal Legation, that at their convocatiOn

exercise but its benehcent sphere of influence must
necessarily be limited, Many men have not time
enough for any kind of physical development. Still
they may take their exercise by proxy-be mas

Albany, jan 1S.-Colonel John N Partridge,

ly gratifed at the procuring OF thirteen indict-
ments, by the Grand Jury Of Oneida County, of
persons presumed TO have been implicated In
the breaks in the canal feeder at Forestport
Colonel Partridge. when he assumed charge of
his department, suspicious of the conditions
surrounding the breaks at this feeder In 1897
and 1898 and while investigating them was
confronted by the break of 1899 Speaking Of
this matter tonight he said:
I consulted Attorney General Davis when I
learned of these events, and we resolved to call
the Pinkerton Detective Agency into service.
1t was employed, and the evidence 1t has col
lected has resulted in the indictment Of thirteen
men, some Of whom connected with the
breaks in the three years, and some with only
two of them. When the break of 1899
occurred I visited It and satisfied myself that
it had been brought about by design. The State
has lost over $f30O00 in the payment of labor
and for materials to repair these breaks. In
1897 S62 7S1 was expended in 1898, 500, 764, and
in 1899 $1,000. The men, If convicted. can be
sentenced for terms high as seven years and
fined as much as S130000

Albany Jan. IS ciaD.-Inasmuch as the $4,000
appropriated for the Investigations by the MaZet
Committee has been almost used up, only a bal
ance Of $4574 so remaining, some comment was
awakened to-day by the announcement that still
more money would be necessary to pay counsel
fees. 1t is estimated that the extra appropriation
would reach as high a as $4,000. Mr. Moss
has only received thus far 5000 whereas his whole
bill is said to be $4,000 Mr.. Clark has had $1,000
in remuneration Of his services and 1T is estimated
that he is still to receive 200, his bill being made
equal to that of Mr.. Moss Then, too, there are
numerous other bills which demand settlement
such as for printing and other services.
An examination OF the bill handed in to the
Controllers office for the month Of April is fair
sample of how much Of the money was spent. 1t
amounted 81 80, and that the railroad fares from
New-York to Albany on that day amounted to
