demns trusts and monopolies and en-
tangling alliances; demands just and
liberal pension laws and election of

and, on our part, we rejoice that you have
devoted all the energies of your mind
and heart to the fostering Of truth, vir-

the extension Of the Roman church in
your country; that you have insisted
on the proper culture of youth; that you
have done all these things with constancy
and provided for them with prudence.
Wherefore, may this joyous 25th ami
versary day Of your episcopal conservation
be propitious and happy one for you,
as it win be pleasant one for us, and
may God accept and fulfil our earnest

lfOO."
The celebration of the silver jubilee cul-
minated in the pontifical mass which was
sung in the Cathedral in the presence of
the many distinguished dignitaries of the
church and of fully 5000 of the laity.
The demand for admission to the cathe-
dral was SO great that it was necessary to
admit to the edifloe by cards and so n
great many people were unable to be pres
ent who would otherwise have delighted
in the opportunity afforded of at once
paying their personal tribute to the ven-
cradle bishop and respected citizen and of
witnessing the most beautiful celebration
of pontlfical mass that the cathedral has
known for great many years.
The procession formed at the episcopal
residence previous to half past nine
O'Clock. In all there must have been
nearly two hundred in the line. First
came the cross bearer Rev NJ. Cleary
OF Millinocket, then large number OF
acolytes in cardinal robes, then the altar
boys and following them the priests of
the several religious and secular orders.
The priests who were present in large
numbers from this and neighboring dio-
ceses were as follows:

London, June 0, ABS a. m.-Queen
Victoria, surrounded by the Duke and
Duchess Of York, Princess Christian,
Princess Victoria and many notables of
her court drank to the health OF Lord
Roberts and the army at Balmoral last
evening. A great bonfire, lighted at
Her Majesty's command blazed on Crag-
gowan mountain, Illuminating the coun-
try fo- miles around. The nation joins
In the toast, glorifying Lord Roberts,
and turbulently rejoicing In his victory.
The dispatches of Lord Roberts, telling
of the incidents before the surrendering
of the capital by three civilians, stand
alone, as the correspondents with him
have not yet had their turn with the
wires.
Lord Roberts postscript announcing
the loss of the yeomanry battalion came
too late for the public to know it last
evening. The newspaper commentators
consider the incident deplorable, but as
having no weight to speak of in the re-
suits. The battalion numbered between
400 and 800.
General Botha and most Of his men got
away from Pretoria. This Is Inferred
from Lord Roberts's message but the
presumption is that the Boer coInman-
dant general cannot escape the British
dispositions without q fight.
Operations elsewhere seem to have
dwindled to nothing. Gen. Baden Pow
ell joined General Hunter on Sunday at
Lichtenberg. Sir Redvers Butler has not
moved.
MIR. Bennett Burleigh, wiring from
johannesburg says President Kruger took
1900, 900 pounds In cash to Middleburg.
Mr.. Burfeigh and Mr.. Scull, an Ameri-
can, entered johannesburg the night be-
fore Lord Roberts occupied the city and
made tour Of 1t unmolested by the
armed burghers,
