- - THE POPE LOVES FRANCE.
Archbishop of Favir an optimist Con cerning the Trouble In China.

Marseiles, January 6.-Archbishop Fav.r, the head of the French mission in North 1China, and vicar apostolic of Pekin, arrived here today from tf1e Chinese capital after a visit to Rome, where he discussed with the Pope the situation in China. In an inter- view regarding the conversation between the Pope on December and correspond ent of the Matin, in the course of which his holiness made a highly important state ment of the vatican's policy apropos of the intention of the Waldeck- Rousseau ministry to introduce a bill against the religious or ders and also in relation to the letter from the Pope to Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris, dealing with the proposed biM, Archbishop Favir said:
 'I can affirm that Pope Leo XIV is ad not the slightest intention of resorting to the severe measures which have been moot ed, and that there is no question of a dip- iomatc rupture. His holiness said to me, I love France with all my soul '
 would nevec withdraw his protectoraae over the Christians in China from France, and that any effort of Germany to this end would remain fruitless.
 The archbishop is an optimist regarding the Chinese situation, and expresses tine will shortly be reached. He proceeded to Paris, where he will confer with M. Del casse, the minister of foreign affairs.

BOOz WAS A BOY
 OF HIGH CHARACTER
Congressional Inquiry Also Finds Out That He Was Prof.
 cient in Studies

Bristol, Pa, January 6.-The Congress sional committee which is Investigating the alleged hazing of Oscar Booz, completed it's work here last yesterday evening" and will reconvene in Philadelphia tomorrow morn tng Most of the testimony heard today re- hated to Oscar Booz' mental, physical and personal characteristics. Every witness called spoke of the high character of the young man. He was considered in good health before he went to West Point, and many persons testified as to this changed condition when he returned from the acad- emy. It was also brought out that he was proficient in his studies.
 The feature of the two sessions held was the examination of the Rev Alex Allison, pastor of the Bristol Presbyterian church at which the BooZ family worshiped Dr. Allison delivered the funeral sermon at the obsequies of Booz in which he made what the committee thought were implied charges of severe hazing of cadets at West Point The committee had newspaper ex- tracts of the sermon read to the pastor which he pronounced as correct. The mem bers of the committee, especially MT. Driggs of New York tried hard to have Dr. Allison go over the statements in the sermon. This, however, he could not do, saying he based most of his remarks on what the family had told him and of what he knew of Oscar Booz himself
 The committee probably will finish it's work in Philadelphia Monday and will be- gin the taking of testimony of the cadets at West Point on Tuesday. The commit tees examination of witnesses here and at Philadelphia has been most searching and the Congressmen say they will also make their West Point investigation a thorough one

Mrs. LeMoyne.

The critics of the leading American news papers-that is, in cities in which Sarah Cowell Le Moyne has appeared in the fas- cinating comedy drama, 'The Greatest Thing in the World"-are unanimous in praise of the talented star, company and play Franklin Fyes of the New York Sun, wrote: Any man who loves his moth- CT will appreciate this play" Acton Davies of the Evening Sun printed this line: "It is the dramatic treat of the season." Will Autisdel in the Philadelphia Record, said ''The play is at once odd and charming in theme and development while Mrs. Le Moyne's work was wonderful" Sidney Ormond of the Atlanta Constitution wrote l: Mrs Le Moyne Is a wonderful actress who would dignity with the force and fire of her splendid acting, anything she touch 1ed." Major Burbank of the New Orleans Ficayune wrote: The Greatest Thing in the World is a play girl can take her mother to see, and every dissipated young man should be made to see it..
 The play star and company will appear at the Jefferson Theatre next Thursday.
 The play will be staged here with the same careful attention to detail and with all the magnificent scenery, furniture ldraperies, etc., which marked the perform ances during the run of two months at Walack's Theatrle in New York, and on its former visit here.

Andrew carneeie's Huge Enterprises.

AnoreW Cdrnc9icS 'u9C GHtSTPiiSCSs Charles M. Schwab, in the Engineering
 Magazine.
 The Carnegie industrial system, which which now embraces the mining and tras- portation of ore by rail and water and the manufacturing of coke, is the growth of years and represents the enterprise of the man who laid the foundation. In this re- spect it is unlike many contemporaneous organizations recently formed in the steel trade, comprising numerous small concerns originally competitive and created by many individuals. The iron and steel manufac- turing plants of the company now include 19 blast furnace @ building), steel works with 8 Bessemer converters and 56 open hearth furnaces Q2 building), rolling plants with 34 mills, an armor-plate works, and forge for the manufacture of loco motive and car axles These are all Cy- clops worthy of the Homeric archetype. The works enumerated, with the improve ments under way and completed will have an aggregate capacity of ,000 tons of steel per annum, equal to 32,56 per cent of the production of the United States F. 65 per cent of the output of the world. and nearly n per cent of the production of Great Britain, measured by the production for 1899.
 In recent years extensive mines of rich iron ore have been added to the company s possessions in the Lake Superior region. and 1t now mines about 25 per cent of the output of the district, which. amounted last wear to more than 100000 tons. From the docks at the lake shipping ports the ore is carried in vessels owned or chartered by the company to Conneaut harbor Lake Erie, where it is trans-shipped by rail 153 miles to the furnaces via the Pitttsburg, Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad.
 The magnitude of the steel manufactur- ing operations of the present day may be appreciated from the fact that during 1899 the receipts of raw material and shipments of finished product of the three largest Carnegie works aggregated 100000 tons. In the mining, transportation and manu- featuring operations the company provides employment for about 5000 persons, and distributes yearly about 100000 to its
