Michael Augustine Corrigan was sixty
two years Of age, and received his
preliminary edueatian at St, Marys
Seminary at Emmetsburg, Md, which
is known as the Mother of Bishops"
by reason OF the large number of it's
graduates who have become American
bishops. He was afterwards educated
at the College of the Propaganda at
Rome, and was pastor of New Jersey
church for some years. He was sub
sequent1y made bishop of Newark, in
which capacity he served until his ap-
pointment as Coadjutor to Cardinal Nc
Closky' upon whose death he was made
Archbishop of New York.
Archbishop Corrigan was known all
over the Union for his sterling char
acter and his rare executive ability. Il
is said that more money passed through
his hands than those of any other clergy
man in the world. His piety and learning
have made him famous everywhere
and his loss will be severely felt by the
catholic church in the United States.

Sometime ago the BoLETIN gave an
account OF certain experiments which
we're being made in San ian with a
silk worm, native of Venezuela. In
making a technical investigation into
the culture of silk and its i-ossibilities
as a business venture, it has been dis
covered that nothing more appro pirate
for this island could be introduced. In
France where the silk worm in cultivated
to the greatest extent, the work is per-
formed mainly by children and old
men and women who would be begging
on the streets if they were not thus
{ m oloyed. The work connected with
! he cafe of the worm is so slight that
it really cannot be called work AS a
great help towards the solution of our
greatest problem, the pauper one, this
industry would Justify its existence here
even if it never amounted to an immen-
Sc undertaking equal to that of sugar,
coffee and other insular products The
aid of the Federal government has been
asked to introduce the culture here, and
it is believed that this aid will be
given.

Cannelton, Ind, July 17.-During a
ball game here Arthur Derrett, UNI

The game was played between the

by Derrett. After several words had
passed the quarrel ceased. Whallen
hit fly and started to first base when,
it is alleged, Derrett pulled his pistol
and shot him twice in the back. The
wounded man fell, and the crowd gath
cred about Derrett, and there were
cries of Lynch him.
The town marshal swore in several
deputies, and soon Derrett was locked
up in the Cannelton Jail. He is about
twenty-six years old. There is strong
feeling against Derrett, but the sheriff

Washington. July 17.-Governor Taft
will sail on July "a from Italy, resum
ing his Journey to Manila. If the Vat.
lean has by that time concluded to ac-
cept the terms respecting the sale of
the friars' lands and the withdraw wal
Of the friars themselves from the Phil
ippines, the papers will be signed by
Governor Taft and the arrangement
will be regarded as closed. If, on the
other hand. the cardinals committee
which is dealing with this important
matter is unable to accept the terms
proffered or IL 1t Is not prepared to
make final answer, the governor will
still proceed on his way and the nego
tiations will be suspended. This de.
cision on the part of Secretary Root
probably is the most important out
come of his recent trip to Oyster Bay
where the subject was discussed with
the president.
1t does not follow that Governor
Taft's resumption of his journey with.
out signing the papers of sale and
withdrawal means the absolute aban-
donment of the negotiations on The
points. Technically they will be re
garded as merely suspended and 50
open to resumption at any moment
when either Of the principals has had a
change Of mind sufficient to warrant a
new proposition. Meanwhile there will
be no change of the status Of the fri
ars' orders in the Philippines, their
lands will remain in the possession Of
the insular government and the sew
eral hundred friars who are tarryins
in Manila as charity charges upon
other branches of the church probably
will remain there or gradually find
their way to another country.

NORTH DAK0TA's TORNADO
Three Villages Destroyed and Great
Damage Done to Property.

Damage Done to Property.
st. Paul, Mimi, July 17.-According
to reports received here, the towns Of
Borup, Ell Dorado and Thompson, N.
d., have been destroyed by a tornado.
The little town Of BOrup, on the st.
Vincent line of the Great Northern Is
q wreck. The latest report was that
the entire town was wiped out. This
came from a plucky Great Northern
telegraph operator, who af!er his sta
ton office had been laid fiat saved his
key from the ruins and tapped the
wires at the nearest available point.
He also reported the razing of ham.
let some miles distant, with destruction
of large amount of property.
From the st. Vincent branch came
reports that the towns Of FL Dorado,
about seven miles from Grand Forks,
and Thompson, between Grand Forks
and Larimore, had been destroyed. At
Thompson the Great Northern station
lies mass Of wreckage directly across
the main line. Stores and residences
are in ruins, and the main part Of the
town is destroyed. The population
numbered about 200 souls.
Only fragments Of information come
from Ell Dorado, but these indicate the
destruction Of that town of about 250
people.
The reports indicate that the tornado
developed southwest of the Lake of
the Woods country and took course
down across the northern part Of the
state, travelling toward the southwest.
Its path seems to have been unusually
wide, and the effects of the storm out
side it's primary line were unusually
severe. The devastation at such wide
ly separated points indicates a storm
of unusual violence
At Winnipeg Junction stock train
was blown completely from the track,
but whether or not the crew escaped
cannot be learned.
What is thought to have been the
edge of a tornado struck St. Paul. Its
onslaught was fierce, high winds and a
brilliant electrical display being prom
inent features.
No reports from Minnesota indicate
any serious damage, the destruction
being apparently confined to North
Dakota.
