DEntrangues spoke in clear, distinct
tones, that rose above the hum of voices,
ana everyone caught the words. In an in
slant the room was still. The laughter on
all faces died away, leaving them grave; and
twenty pairs of curious eyes, and twenty
curious faces, were turned toward us. 1t was
SO sudden, so unexpected, this jarring dis
cord IN our harmony, that it fell as if bolt
from mangonel, or a shot from one OF
esser Novarro's new guns, had dropped
IN amongst us. Even that, l take it, would
have caused less surprise, although for the
present there was a truce in the land. Pros

and looked at me- Our host and commander,
old Ives d'Aiegres, who was pouring him
self out glass of white vernaccia, held the
decanter in mid-air, an expression of blank
amazement in his blue eyes Even the
Englishman, Hardwood, who sat next to
me, was startled out of his habitual calm.
Every eye was on us, on me where l sat
dased, and on D'Entrangues, who was lean
ing back clighty, forced smile on his face,
the fingers of one hand playing with the
empty glass before him, whilst with the
other be slowly twisted his long red mus

CONGRATULATE THE POPE.
By The Catholic Nonagenarians on the
Completion of His Goth Year.

The Catholic nOnagenarians of the
world presented an address of congra-
tulation to Pope Leo XII. on the oc
casion of the Holy Year as the
Sovereign Pontiff completed his Goth
year today. The idea of this novel
address by signers nearly century
old originated, it is said in the mind
of an aged priest in Thun, switzerland.
The suggestion was met with favor on
the continent, and copies of the docu-
ment prepared for signatures. The
following is translation of the ad-
dress: "Having arrived at an age
when the soul feels itself free from
influences which, at other stages OF
life, often mislead or smother its
nobler impulses, the undersigned are
able to understand better than ever
before those great truths of which
your Holiness has never wearied of
reminding the world, and which the.
latter, to it's own misfortune, obsti-
nately ignores. The remembrance of
the great part of your Holiness's life
must fill your soul with gratitude to
God for all that he has accomplished
through you. And to this conscious
ness your Holiness must certainly be
indebted for the tlourishing health,
the ever youthful strength which are
the wonder of the world and the joy
of the universal church." This date
has wonderful significance, as it is
also the 21st anniversary of the coro-
nation of the Pope. He received the
congratulations of the high prelates
in the throne room.

PORTO RICAN TARIFF.
Its Constitutionality will be Tested in
the Courts by Case Begun Today.

New York, March 2.-The policy of
treating Porto Rico as a territory and
levying tariff duties upon imports
from that island, in spite of the ces-
sion by Spain, has been assailed in the
courts. A. S. Lescelles & Co., i'm
porters of Porto Rican products, No.
66 Beaver street, filed suit in the
Z. S. circuit court to enjoin Collector
Bidwell from continuing to collect i'm
port duty on goods from Porto Rico.
Thus is brought directly to a test the
question which is agitating the entire
federal administration at Washington
and both branches of congress, can the
United States force tariff law against
Porto Rico or other of it's dependen-
cies, different from the laws applying
to the States of the Union? The suit
of Lescelles s. Co. was brought by
Charles Henry Butler of II Broadway.
1t was argued today and the applica-
tion resisted by District Attorney
Burnett.
