THE NEXT C0NSlSToRY.


Washington, Oct. 14.--In well in
formed Catholic circles here it is be-
lieved that the next consistory Of
the Catholic church at Rome will be
held in February, when Pope Leo
NH. attains the twenty-ffth year of
his pontificate. While there have
been no definite advices to this ef-
feet it is thought likely that this as
sembly will open the jubilee to sig
nalize the closing Of the quarter CEN
fury of Pope Leo's regime and that
he will take advantage of it to de-
liver an allocution, taking a strong
position on the question of assassina-
ton among other things.
The Baltimore Sun yesterday print
ed the following: "The Sun has been
for some time in possession of infor-
nation gained from one in close
touch with the vatican that no new
cardinals will be created at the COM
ing consistory, but if any names are
presented no prelate in the United
States will be honored This infor-
nation Is in harmony with what is
said to be the intention Of Pope Leo
that no other American cardinal will
be created as long as Cardinal Glib
bons lives"

KILLED BY BLACK DAMP.
4 Miner and His Two Sons Lnse Their
Lives In . Deserted Air Shaft
Near Juniatavllls, p.

Connellsville, Pa, Oct. 14.-Three
lives went out in a little air shaft.
only two feet in diameter and 70 feet
deep, but filed with death black
damp at the mines Of the Juniata
Coke company near Juniataville, yes
terday. The dead are John Gilleland,
o miner, aged so years, and his two
sons, James and Winfield, aged II
and Is respectively. All three bodies
were rescued, but in the effort John
Nicholson, mine fireman at Juniata-
vile, and John Baker, mine fire
boss, were seriously overcome by
black damp. Near the home of the
Gillelands is a deserted air shaft.
Yesterday the two boys were play
ing around the shaft, which is
boarded up for about two feet from
the ground. James climbed to the
top, shouting to his brother. Then
he leaped over the top of the shaft.
A sudden gust of the death fumes
struck him and with a scream he fell
forward into the pit. His brother
rushed to the top of the shaft and
started down a rickety ladder that
years ago served the miners with
means of descent. From the home
not many yards away the elder Gill
leland saw his boys go down the
shaft. Realizing their danger he
rushed to the pit and regardless Of
his own safety hurried down the hole.
By this time number of other in
mates of the house hurried to the
shaft. They went to the top and
peered in but only faint groans were
heard. About half way down the lit
tie shaft the body of the father had
lodged. His white face and CLASSY
eyes turned upwards. The light and
air told that the gas had done its
work quickly and well.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.


San Francisco, Oct. 12.-The ques.
ton Of marriage and divorce was be.
fore both houses of the triennial con-
vention of the Episcopal Church OF
America yesterday. The bishops
adopted substitute for the proposed
canon 81, providing for the discipline
of persons marrying again after be-
Ing divorced. The principal change
made by the substitute is the provi-
sion that such person may receive
the sacrament on the written con.
sent of a bishop.
The house of deputies began the
eagerly awaited debate on section 4
of proposed canon 80, which virtual
ly prohibits the remarriage in the
church of divorced persons. The an
nouncement that the discussion would
be public attracted large crowd.
Nearly all of the spectators in the gal
leres were women who evinced great
interest in the proceedings. AS soon
Us the section was announced as the
business before the house, which was
sitting in committee Of the whole, it
was read by the chairman, Judge
Packard, Of Maryland. Rev Hunt
ington, of New York, moved an
amendment, which excerpts the limo
cent party to divorce on the ground
of adultery from the prohibition Of
the canon. The debate at once be-
gan and continued until adjournment
The discussion will be resumed Mon
day. The only vote reached during
the day was on a proposed modilca-
ton OF DR.. lIuntington's amendment,
providing for determining the cause
Of divorce in the case Of divorced
person applying to be married. This
was defeated, Dr. Huntington declar-
Ing that his amendment sufficiently
covered this matter. The debasc
throughout was characterized by
great carncstness and some Of the
speeches were marked by real elo-
quence. The day was extremely
warm and there was a constant hut-
tering Of fans in the galleries. Sew
eral times disposition to applaud
was shown, hut this was quickly sup
PRESSED by the chairman's gavel.
Five missionary bishops were voted
for and named yesterday by the house
OF bishops TO the house Of deputies,
where the final election must take I
place.

MILITARY REPORTS.
Gen. Merriam Tells About the De.
partment Of the Missouri.
ADVERSE TO HAVING YOUNG RECRUITS


Washington, Oct. 14.-In his ca
pacity as commander Of the depart
ment Of the Missouri, Gen. Henry c.
Merriam has made an annual report
to the war department. He devotes
particular attention to the necessity
of better drill work by the soldiers
caused by the incoming of many re-
cruits. lie also strongly indorses a
recommendation of Capt. Niche, of
the Twelfth cavalry, for a change in
the cavalry bit. He says that even
with the recent improvement which
has rendered the bit less severe up
on the mouths of young horses, there
is still considerable percentage of
horses made vicious by undue sever
ity in the use Of the bit. A signif-
cant statement by Chief Surgeon
Kimball, of this department, is that
with comparatively few exceptions
youths under 20 years of age are not
able to bear up under the hardships
and privations of an active cam
paign, and serve only to cucumber
the hospitals and to diminish the eff
ficiency Of the army"
Surprising progress toward the goal
of self-support by the Apache prison.
ers of war is recorded in an appendix
by Capt. Sayre, in charge of those
prisoners. He shows that they now
have on hand 2,734 head of cattle of
their own raising, that they have
built many miles of new fences and
repaired as much more of the old and
that no clothing was issued to them
during the year. On the other hand,
these Indians are suffering severely
from tuberculosis, contracted by
them while in captivity in Florida,
and there were Is more deaths than
births among them. They are de-
clared to be generally a moral, in
dustrious, truthful, honest and docile
people.
The Department Of the Lakes.
Washington, Oct. 14.-Maj. Gen.
Otis, in his annual report for the de-
partment of the lakes, says that all
post buildings in the department
have been maintained in a fair condi-
ton, although many have been with
out occupancy and show disintegra-
ton from climatic influences. With
Increased garrsons considerable adj
ditional repairs and new construction
will be necessary. Gen. Otis says
that decided want in his depart
ment is greater accommodations for
general and garrison prisoners. The
post guard houses have been over
crowded. With the recent rapid re-
cruiting deserters appear to be IN
creasing and at the date Of the gen.
erals report, August Z, there were
considerably over 100 such prisoners
confined in the guard houses of the
department. The central states, from
which a large portion Of the United
States army is drawn, Gen. Otis says,
seems to give great advantages in the
way of concealment and occupation
to the absconding soldier, and hence
the post guard houses of the depart
ment Of the lakes contain repre-
sentatives of many military organiza-
tons stationed outside the limits Of
that department. The enlarged re-
ward, however, which is now paid
Tor the arrest and delivery of de-
'erters, has generally decreased their
former comparative immunity from
punishment.

THE ASSASSIN CZOLGOSZ.
Tho Day Of Electrocution Drawing Near
Letters and Packages Of Flowers and
Fruit Sent to Him.


Albany, N. Y, Oct. 15.-Supcrin-
tendent Cornelius v. Collins will
send a request to Secretary Of State
Hay to designate an official repre-
sentative OF the government to be
present at the electrocuti0n Of Leon
F. Czolgosz, the murderer Of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Only 20 witnesses
will be present In the chamber OF
death when the sentence Is executed.
Warden Mead, Of Auburn prison, has
sent to Superintendent Collins the re.
quests he has received for permission
TO attend the electrocution, over 1000
in all. II was stated at the state
department Of prisons yesterday that
statements to the effect that CzolgOsz
Is in a continuous state Of collapse
and that he breaks down and weeps
every time anything is said to him
concerning the electrocution are
false. Superintendent Collins had q
talk with the condemned man some
days ago and at that time he said he
knew he had to die. He expressed no
fear as to the electrocution, but said
that he would not care to go outside
OF the prison, for he believed that
the people would kill him.
Since his confinement in Auburn
prison several thousand letters have
been received for him at the prison,
as well as a large number Of express
packages, containing flowers and
'ruit. Neither the letters, flowers
or fruit have reached the condemned
man
