while the latter did not. OF course Mrs.
Eddy's explanation Of her refusal to show
herself TO her disciples was perfectly sat
isfactory 10 them. II TO show herself for
five minutes or 50 would hinder her
work for God and the cause, why OF
course she ought not to show herself.
But the unsanctided win be likely to
suggest that here was an excellent OPP
portunity to confound those sianderous
tongues that have bsen alleging that she
was not well enough to show herself, and
that TO have taken advantage OF ii would
have been quite as helpful TO the cause as
the closing OF her gates. However, the
opinions Of the unsanctified do not count
for much in this case. To understand
the mysteries OF Mrs, Eddy and her re-
lieion one must be sanctifled, very much
sanctifled, sanctifled to blindness.

At last there has been an actual col
lision between the Chinese and the inter
national forces. The scene of IL is at
Taku at the mouth Of the Pei-ho river.
The Chinese forts undertook to resist
the entrance of the fleet into the river,
and conflict ensued between the forts
and the fleet which lasted a number of
hours. Finally the forts We're taken, but
not before several vessels were sunk The
particulars of the. affair are meagre, but
the fighting appears to have been serious
and the resistance of the Chinese strong
er than was anticipated. The capture of
these forts will open the river and en-
able light draft naval vessels to get up to
Tlentsin, which has been in the hands
of the mob who have burned many
buildings and threatened foreigners.
What effect this collision will have on
the general situation it is difficult to
say. 1t may tend to cover the insurgents
in other localities or it may excite th5m
to new outrages. The situation is GER
tainly exceedingly grave From Pekin
there is absolutely no news, and what has
been happening in that city for several
days past can only be conjectured The
force under Admiral Seymour is still
some distance from the city and making
slow progress.

ROOSEVELT AND THE VICE PREsI-
DENCY.

Nobody but Roosevelt himself, can
prevent his nomination for the Vice
Presidency, and he can only prevent IL
by distinct, positive, absolute re-
fusal. The statement he put out yester-
day afternoon was not n refusal Of that
sort IL was declaration that he pre-
ferred not 70 b. nominated and thought
he could better serve the party as governor
OF Now York, but IL was not so strong
and decided refusal as to check the
growing current of enthusiasm that is
sweeping him into the nomination. Boose-
Welt has all along been the favorite OF the
great majority of the Republicans in all
sections of the country for second place
ON the ticket. His career Is pointed to
with pride and appeals strongly to the
Imagination. But 1t was supposed that 1t
was not available, and so the enthusiasm
for him was checked. At the first inti-
nation that notwithstanding his refusals
it was yet possible to have him 1t broke out
anew and in such volume as to sweep every
thing before it. Yesterday morning his
name was on every lip and the prospect
was that he would be nomi mated by ac-
cIamation. OF course it Is possible that
his statement of yesterday afternoon may
check the enthusiasm, but at this distance
1t does not seem positive enough to have
that effect.
There can be no doubt that Roosevelt 5
nomination from the vote getting stand
point would be the strongest one possible,
and there could be no objection TO 1t
from the standpoint of fitness. He is
somewhat cratic, sometimes his en-
thusiasm carries him little too far, but
he Is foroeful, honest and brilliant man,
and If he were called upon to fill the
Presidency he would fill 1t with distinc-
ton. The only serious objection TO his
nomination for the Vice Presidency Is
that it win deprive the New York Re-
publicans of their best candidate for
governor.

Brya already has more than the neces-
sary two thirds of the delegates to the
Kansas City convention pledged to him,
and he is as good as nominated already.
The only contest there will be in the
convention will concern the vice presi-
iency, though possibly there may be a
feeble attempt TO shelve some parts of the
Chicago platform. The principal objeo-
jon to Towne is that he is the nominee
Of the Populists, ana to take him would
lie about equivalent to endorsing the Pop
Hist ticket. But as the head of the ticket
will be an old time Populist and the
platform will be warmed over Populist
doctrines there seems to be very little
Sense in kicking against Towne.

About the most disappointed man at
Philadelphia will be Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff of New York. Woodruff is the
one man who really hankered after the
nomination for vice president. Several
others were in the hands of their friends,
but Woodrlff is the only one who has
made systematic campaign for 1t. In
the pursuit of it he has travelled great
many miles and made great many
speeches Nothing daunted him. Even
Hanna's cruel allusion to him as that
young thing in the pink waistcoat, ="
seems not to have cooled his ardor.
However, it will probably be some
consolation to him to be beaten by the
"Rough Rider rather than by Dolliver.

The Cuban elections were a success, in
that they passed off quietly and without
any turmoil But the interest in them
was very slight, perhaps because the
people assumed that for some time to
come whoever was elected would be
merely agents of the United States gov
srnment, ami so 1t made no great
difference who they We're. When Cuba
has an election which the people believe
will determine the real rulers of the coun-
try it will not, we believe, be 50 quiet
and uninteresting as this one. Elections in
Spanish republics generally are turbu-
lent, and the turbulence does not stop
always when the votes are counted
and the result ascertaiDed. Then turbu-
lence frequently ripens into revolution.
Ii the Cubans prove an exception it will
be little less than miraculous.

TAXES HIS OFFICE.
Dubuque, Rt. Rev. John j.
keane, Is Installed.

Ri. Rev. John j. Keans, the newly ap-
pointed archbishop of Dubuque, was
given an ovation on his arrival In Du-
buque to be installed in office. His
train was met at Apple River by dele
gates representing the clergy and the
laity of the city parishes, headed by
Mgr. Ryan. AT Dubuque the chimes
rang joyous welcome, while hun
dreds of people at the depot cheered.
The party was escorted to the archi-
piscoPal palace, where the archbishop
donned his robes of Office, accompanied
by Large number OF priests. The cere-
mony was brief. Mgr. Ryan. who has
administered the diocese since Arch
bishop Hennessey's death, delivered
the keys to the new metropolitan. The
papal brief was read by DR.. John Car
roll. president of st. Jcseph's college.
Mgr. Ryan spoke briefly. welcoming
the archbishop, and introducing him
to the people. Archbishop Keane re-
sponded happily and at some length,
dwelling especially upon the duty Of
priests and parishioners. In conclu-
sion he announced the appointment
of Mgr. Ryan as vicar general. The
ceremony of comforting the pallium
will not take place until late in Janu-
airy, when Mgr. Martinelli, Cardinal
Gibbons and other niotables can, be
present, and the sermon will be
preached by Archbishop Ireland.

A SAD FATE.
Broodins for Seven Years Over the

To brood for seven years over the
tragic death of q loved daughter and at
last become incurably insane and
forced to spend his last days in a mad
house is the sad fate OF Henry Wiese,
German farmer, who for many years
has resided near Reinbeck, in lama
county. Thus 10 written another chap
ter Id the history Of one Of the most
mysterious and brutal murders ever
committed in Iowa. A Mrs. Bennett,
who resided about a mile from the
scene Of the murder, was suspected for
certain reasons. During her first trial
one OF the jurors broke down and q
new trial had to be had. This resulted
In Mrs. Benefits acquittal. Since then
suspicion seems to have pointed its fin
ger at no one and the crime has gone
UNPUBLISHED. The remains of Anna
Wiese were laid to rest in the village
cemetery and Borrowing friends erect
ed plain but enduring monument at
the grave which bears the simple story
OF the tragedy. Some day, perhaps, the
veil that has hidden the perpetrator of
this crime for so many years may be
Lifted.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct. s.-Arti-
cles will be filed at Lansing to-day by
Homer L. Boyle, of Grand Rapids, for
the incorporation of what the organic
er believes is destined to be the most
gigantic institution of the twentieth
century. The object of the proposed
company is nothing less than to in
sure nations against war, and that the
plan is not entirely without merit is
attested by the fact that Mr.. Boyle
has succeeded in interesting some of
the foremost men of Grand Rapids and
Michigan in the project, who are aid
ing the organization, not only with in
fuence of their names, but with their
cash. Among the officers are Mayor
Perry, of Grand Rapids; Congressman
Hamilton and W.. A. Smith, United
States Senator j. C. Burrows, C. S.
Hazltine, ex-ConsuI to Milan; Judge A.
Morse, ex-Consul to Glasgow, and 9th
ers of like caliber.
The scheme is based upon popular
stock membership at one dollar per
share. the idea being to gain such
large constituency in every country on
earth as to make 1T a practical neces-
sity for the several nations to take out.

MEETS WITH FAVOR.
Our Plan May Be Basis of Agree
ment as to China.
THE POWERS LIKELY TO ADOPT IT.
Germany's Position Has Either Been
MisunderstOod, or Else Change
of Mind Has Been Ex-
perienced.

Washington, Oct. g.. Favorable
news has reached Washington from
the European chancellories indicat-
ing that complete agreement as to
China is within sight. The agree
ment will be on the basis of the prop
ositions laid down by Secretary Hay
in his note of July and the subse-
quent notes treating of that subject.
The accord of Russia with the United
States is more complete than was an
ticipated at first and the reports
show that all of the European nations
probably are placing themselves in
position to take advantage of the
opening made by the United States,
and soon will be ready to begin ne
gotiations for a settlement with the
Chinese government. The Russians
already have given notice of such pur-
pose, and while the text of the French
note on this subject has not reached
the state department, the officials are
satisfied that France, like Russia, is
ready to negotiate at once.
Germany's Attitude.
AS for Germany, either the position
of that government has been misun-
derstood or 1t has sustained a change
of mind. Possibly the former is the
case. but, however that may be, it
is quite certain from the advices
