AMERICAN To
Be BLACK POPE
HEAD OF THE JESUIT ORDER OF
THE WORLD.
PREDECESSOR MlSMANAGED
AND LED TO SERIOUS RIOTS IN
SEVERAL GOOD CATHOLIC
COUNTRIES OF EUROPE.

New York. March 25-The Herald
says: Among the possibilities suggested
by reports from Rome is that OF an
American becoming the "black pope"
There is an old saying, Three popes in
Rome-the white pope who sits in the
chair Of St. Peters; the red pope who
is the cardinal prefect of the propa-
ganda. and the black pope,' who Is the
general Of the Jesuits."
Cardinal Gibbons name has often been
mentioned for the first-named Office.
That Of Father Rudolph Meyer, also
an American, is also spoken Of in con-
nection with the latter Office.
According to the reports in reference
Leo XIII has determined to remove
Father Martin, general of the Society Of
Jesuits, on the ground that the recent
popular demonstrations against the
order in France, Austria, Spain and Por-
tugal were due to mismanagement, for
which Father Martin is held RESPONSE
BILE by his holiness.
Members Of the Society of Jesuits In
this city are inclined to doubt the ac-
curacy Of these reports. They believe,
however, that in view of Father Mar
tins bad state Of health an assistant
may be appointed, with. every likelihood
Of succeeding him eventually.
IF any action had already been taken
by the holy father said the Rev.
Father j. J. Wynne last night, lit would
have been reported to us by cable by
Father Meyer. No message on the sub
iect. however. has been received. On tho
other hand there is a possibility that a
vicar has or NAV be appointed as az
sistant to Father Martin, who will take
charge Of his work, The general has
been in bad health for a year or more,
suffering seriously, / fear, from Bright's $
disease. Though he is comparatively
young man, about "a years. and has sew
eral assistants and advisers who have
charge Of different sections of the world
under his direction. the Rev. Father
Meyer, representing this country, his
work is very onerous. Under the CIR
cumstances, 1 think it probable that this
holy father has given him an assistant

Death of Mrs. Brooks Recalls Story Of
the Civil War.

Columbia S. c., March 25.-The widow
of Preston S. Brooks who caned Chas.
Sumner in the United States senate died
here last night.
Charles Sumner, senator from MasSa-
chusetts, was regarded as the most un-
sparng, most feared and NEST hated Op-
ponent of slavery of congress when the
Missouri compromise was repealed in
1854. and in the contest over the 1mis-
sion of Kansas in 1856 in speech on the
crime against Kansas" he SHARPLY GEN.

Two days afterwards. on May %, 1856, as
Senator Sumner was seated at his desk,
when the senate was not in session, he
was assaulted by Preston S. Brooks,
representative from South Caro- ina. and
a nephew of Senator Butler. Brooks ap-
preached the seated senator from behind
and without warning struck him repeat-
edly on the head with heavy cane. Sem
ator Sumner strove to rise and in doing
so wrenched his desk from the floor, but
the repeated blows ra!ned on him rem
dered him unconscious and he fell.

The event was charac terized by Sena-
tor George Lewis as the beginning OF
the civil war" A committee of the house
reported in favor of the expulsion Of
Brooks, but the resolution failed of pas
sage. Later in the debate dispute
with Anson Burlimgame led to challenge
for a duel by Brooks which was accept
cd, Canada being chosen for the meet
ing But Brooks failed to appear. giv-
ing as his reason that he would have
to pass through the enemy's country"
He resigned from congress- but was un-
animously reelected. Senator Sumner
was practically incapacitated for public
service for nearly four years. The i'm
cident caused intense excitement in all
parts of the country. Brooks received
costly canes and other testimonials from
many places in the south. He died in
January, 1857.

Fierce BATTLE
AMONG N|HILISTS
SPIES AND DYNAMITERS HAVE A
FIGHT IN NEW YORK-FREE
FOR ALL.

New York, March 25.-The Times says:
A meeting of Russians held last night
at a hall on Henry street to form ple q 8
for aiding the nihilists in st. Petersburg,
broke up in wild disorder after a free
fight. in which at least half the audience
joined.
The hall was filed to the doors. but
everything went off smoothly until COM
,nhttee was appointed to call a mass
meeting the raise funds for the nihilists.
Just after the committee had been
named, some one shouted:
Down with the spies. Throw them
out"
Kill the spies," chorused dozen 9TH
ers.
A man near the door struck a man
near him in the face with his fist. His
victim retaliated, and this seemed to be
the signal for general scrimmage. With
wild shouts and yells in various Ian
suages, people in the audience began an
onslaught on othersNor no apparent rea-
son. Some fought with chairs and others
with their fists and the din could have
been heard a block away.
For ten minutes pandemonium reigned.
Non -combatants, of whom there were
cu,y a few, stood on seatsu until they were
jostied down.
"Out with the spies." shouted a voice.
and three or four people were promptly
thrown down the stairs.
One or two others shouted:
Police" and announced that they were
going for policemen. This quieted the
people, the fight stopped and a stam-
pede from the hall followed.
Though many were bleeding about the
face, none were seriously hurt and there
were no arrests.

WORKMEN CALL HIS OFFER An
INSULT.
lNlMlCAL TO INDEPENDENCE
SAY EVERY DOLLAR OF THE GIFT
REPRESENTs FLA0RANT IN
JUSTICE AND MURDER.

New York, March 25.-A special to the
World from Newcastle, Pa, says:
Owing to the attitude of labor unions.
the city council will, in all probability,
reject the $4,000 offer of Andrew Car
negie fer public library for this place.
Following the action of the trades as
sembly, division SO, the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway Employees
has adopted a resolution protesting
against the acceptance of the gift. A
committee to which the matter had been
referred at previous meeting reported
the following:
THAT such donations are inimical to
that independence American manhood Is
assumed to possess (on general princI-
ples), and especially SO in this case,
when such fragrant injustice. even to
murder. has been done to those who
toll, is represented in every dollar Of the
money thus rendered.
ITO erect such a library here and by
its silent or it's partisan outspOken influ-
ence induce our children to look upon
it as logical. necessary and unavoid-
able method of obtaining certain bene
fits, tends to destroy in their minds any
idea of natural justice or human rights
and make of them willing supplicants
at the mercy Of this system. of corporate
greed which deals out a part Of the sum
in charity it originally appropriated from
the producers to whom it alone right
fully belongs, which sum, if they had
fully received, would have enabled them
to have owned a library instead of now
being, as are all others who are SINH
larly robbed, the objects of charity
1T would be something like a sem
blance of justice if these donations were

Local Prosperity and Progress.

The people of Crested Butte
may well congratulate themselves
on the unprecedented prosperity
and substantial progress that the
town and district is enjoying now
and has experienced during the
past summer The prosperity is
of the most stable character and
the progress is founded on the
launching of many new enterprises
calculated to develop the matchless
mineral resources of the surround
ing territory. No such general
construction and improvement of
property has ever been known in
the town. Builders have never
been so generally occupied as dur
ing the last seven months, and in
stead of seeking for work, they
have been eagerly sought after.
The level of prices for real estate
is not so high as 1t was in boom
days, but it is trending steadily up
ward and it is so firm that a col
lapse is out of question. At least
twelve strong mining companies
have come into this section to stay.
Their operations are backed by
heavy capital and directed by cap
able and experienced managers
whose knowledge of mineralogy
has taught them that no better
virgin field of mineral wealth exists
in the country. All are directly
tributary to Crested Butte and any
success they may achieve is of cor
responding benefit to the town.
Crested Butte's horizon is clear
and its promises for the future are
exceedingly bright.
