PAPAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
SECRET CONsIsToRY AT WHICH LEO
MADE APPOINTMENTS.
Bishops Alerding and Keane For.
Now Hold-Ihc POpe's Lament.

ROME, Dec. sss At the secret consistory
held to-day the Pope appointed a number
OF bishops. including Monsignor Keane.
formerly rector Of the Catholic University
at Washington, to the diocese of Dubuque.
Rev. Hermann Joseph Alerding was ap-
pointed bishop of Fort Wayne, Ind, and
Rev. Joseph O'Reilly, of Peoria, titular
bishop of Laredo, Tex.
The Pope, in to-day's allocution, thanked
God, who had enabled him to accomplish
the holy year. Many painful matters, how
ever, afflicted him, he went on to say, espe-
cially the conflict between Italy and the
church, resulting in violation Of papal
rights. "Still graver things perhaps are
to be apprehended," continued his holi-
ness. 'It is truly calamity that the pom
tiff is despoiled forcibly of his just and
legitimate sovereignty, which is closely
bound with the liberty of his ministry. Tho
pontiff is now held under the power of
other men and subjected to their arbitrary
will. Difficulties arise when we see the
domination of Rome pass from one to an
other, as though 1t were a right, instead
of being the fruit of injustice. We wish
the right of the papacy to remain intact.
We declare that neither time nor the sue
cession of rulers can suppress or diminish
the imprescriptible right of the pontiff."

confessed his guilt before the Sheriff took
him away from Rockport. When first i'm
plicated he denied any knowledge Of the
crime, and he was guarded by some de-
termined citizens who had some doubts as
to his guilt But he told conflicting stories
and IL was learned that he was away from
the Yeranda Hotel, where he worked,
about the time Simons was murdered.
Confronted with this evidence Rolla weak
ened and confessed his share in the crime,
admitting that he struck the first blow, and
that the other two negroes helped him TO
kill Simons. The citizens of Rockport held
a meeting tonight, and formed an organ
ization for the purpose of maintaining law
and order and assisting the officers in the
prosecution of criminals. 1t was also re-
solved to make an effort to take municipal
affairs out of politics. While the lynching
was only incidentally discussed, the gen.
eral sentiment of the community upholds
the action of the mob, in taking affairs in
its own hands. Rockport is perfectly quiet
tonight.

daybreak this morning in the vicinity of

and ended in the complete rout OF the

and desperate fighting followed. The Beers
numbered 1900 to 1000 men. Many were
killed and wounded, according to the re-
port, and some were captured. Official ad-
vices are eagerly awaited. for it is not be-
lieved the British came out of the battle
unscathed. No Boer has been known to
die in a battle without selling his life
dearly, and 1t is feared the British casualty
list may be heavy.

WOMAN FIGHTS A BURGLAR.
Has Desperate Struggle and May
Die of Her Injuries.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Miss Lillian Beatty.
formerly of San Francisco lies at the resi-
dence of Or. Il. Lyman Denison, $500 State
street. lowering between life and death as
a result of a terrible fight with a burglar
tonight. For half an hour she fought
him, unaided, struggling back and forth
through three rooms, resisting until the
loss of blood from her wounds sapped her
strength. So hard was her fight that her
clothes were torn and a half dozen chairs
and heavy operating table overturned.
During the scuffie, the thief tried to
choloroform the gir. and, failing in that,
beat her with a heavy pair of shears.
Then her strength failed and he beat her
head against the floor until she became un-
conscious. All he succeeded in getting was
$50 worth of surgical instruments.
Miss Beatty, who is DR.. Denison's stem
ographer and private secretary, came to
Chicago from California three years ago.
