H()N)RED BY THE VATICAN
CHANGES IMPENDING IN CATHOLIC
PROVINCES OF UNITED
STATES
OMAHA TO BE AN ARCHDIOCESE
Authoritatively Stated That Pope
Leo Will Also Create Number
of MOnsignOrs I'm Vari-
GUS Sections.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-There are
some important changes pending among
the fourteen Catholic provinces Of this
country, which, 1t is learned, may be
definitely announced after Archbishop
Keane's return from Europe For the
first time since the Vatican council as
senlbled at Rome, in 1869, the influx of
American prelates thither has been steady
during the present year, and it Is author
itatively stated that Pope Leo is deeply
impressed with the reports that all of
them have made concerning their sees.
In fact the pope has never met so many
members Of the hierarchy from this coun-
try during a single year since his acces-
sion to the papacy. On this account he
has been sensibly touched by their proofs
Of devotion to him, and, 1t Is said intends
to emphasize his appreciation of their
loyalty by comforting further religious
fayors upon the United States. The crea-
ton of Omaha, Neb., as an archdiocese
will be officially announced soon, while
the indications are that there will be fur
ther foundations of episcopal sees in
Iowa, California, New York and Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is understood that Archbishop
Riordan, of San Francisco, Is to be given
coadjutor at an early date. The proba-
bic appointee is DR.. George Montgomery
Of Los Angeles, who has been acting
head of the st. Louis archdiocese during
the absence of its incumbent, DR.. Keane,
in Europe. : A number of "monsignors.
or domestic prelates of the pope, likewise
will be appointed in various parts of the
country soon

WINTERED IN THE ARCTIC
HOW THE STELLA POLARE FARED
IN THE FRIGID ZONE.

CHRISTIANIA, Sept. Further de-
tails regarding the arctic expedition of
the Duke of Abuzzi, on board the Stella
day from Tromsoe, Norway, show that
the expedition last year through N!ghtin-
gale sound and the canal, reached as far
north as 80.4 but finding no winter har
Dor it returned to Telitz bay, Crown
Prince Rudolphs Land, where the Stella
Polare was frozen in. The Duke of
AbruZzis fingers were frostbitten on a
trial sled trip about Christmas, and two
joints were amputated, obliging him 10
remain several months in his tent The
cold increased to So degrees cellus. On
March IL the advance was renewed and
ten men started north. After ten days
marching three started to return to tie
ship which, however, they never reached.
Their fate is unknown. A second party
of three men passed the eighty-third. par
alIel after march of twenty days, and
then returned to the ship A third party,
led by Capt Algin, with two Alpine
guides, and sailor, reached latitude 1888,
and was then obliged to rtturn through
lack of food. 1t started with six sledges
and forty-five dogs, and returned with
one sledge and seven dogs, having sub
sisted for seventeen days exclusively on
dog flesh.
On Aug. 8 the Stella Polare started
homeward She traversed the British
canal in a single day, and then drifted
about for fortnight In a severe struggle
with drift Ice before reaching the open
sea.

MAY ORDER STRIKE TODAY
UNITED NINE WORKERS WILL DE-
eide BEFORE 6 O'CLOCK.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. finder
the constitution Of the United Mine Work
ers of America the executive board must
decide before 6 o'clock tomorrow night
upon the application of the district en-
braced in the anthracite region for per-
mission to strike.
Indications tonight are that before the
time limit has expired messages will have
been sent to the, presidents OF the three
districts in question announcing that per-
mission has been granted. Following the
messages will be another ordering the
men out of the mines.
In so far is actual results are concern
ed. the situation is practically the same
as yesterday. The deliberations today
were for the purpose Of putting the mem
bers of the executive board in possession
of facts that must necessarily enter into
their consideration before strike can
be ordered. The facts embraced three
questions: VIII all the men strike? How
can the half-million people be maintained
during the strike, and, Can the bituminous
districts prevent coal from being d.
verted to aid the anthracite operators?
All have been satisfactorily answered.
If all the $4,000 men strike 1t is argued
by mine workers officials that the
strike can be won in thirty days There
is, it is said plenty of aid in sight to
maintain the strikers and their families.
bituminous districts have been called
here, and all report favorably on their
ability to prevent diversion of coal.
WILKESBARRE. Pa, Sept miners
meetings were held in various parts of the
Wyoming valley tonight and the strike
situation discussed. In nearly all In
stances the sentiment was in favor OF
abiding by the decision of the executive
committee tomorrow at Indianapolis
Nearly all the speakers deplored a strike
but said they would abide by the will OF
the majority.

AFTER MANCHURIA.
Believed at London That Russia
VIII Seize the Province.

VIII Seize the Province,
LONDON. Sept. 8, 4:1O a. m.-The Chi
nese crisis presents no new features This
morning. Nothing appears to be known
regarding Russias action. Various state-
ments are made In Vienna and Berlin
with an assumed air of authority. but
the balance of opinion leans to the BELIEF
that Russia Is still inclined to adhere to
her decision to quit Pekin, whatever the
other powers may do. The studiously
moderate tone of Emperor Williams
speech at Stettin is much remarked.
There was nothing of the mailed fist or of
revenge IN his utteranees.
According to the Standards Moscow
correspondent, Russia's programme main
ly concerns Manchuria. and she needs
troops from Pel1in to assist in the seizure
of that province which is looked upon as
another Egypt. Her withdrawal from
Pel1in is considered an attempt to pose as
a sincere adherent Of the principles of
: The Hague conference.
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Standard, wiring Aug. 80, says: "The Ger
mans paired with the Americans in the
march through the Forbidden City The
British naval brigade and the marines of
the legation guards left Pekin today"
1t is asserted by the Austrian foreign
office, according to the Vienna corre-
spondent Of the Daily Mall, that Russia
has agreed to a compromise, leaving a
portion of the troops in Pekin and send
