WOUNDS FATAL.
Man Wounded On Katy Ex-
cursion Sunday Is Re-
ported Dead.

A report from Mineral this
morning states that one Of the men
who was wounded on the Katy ex-
cursion Sunday and who was taken
off at that place had succumbed to
his wounds. The unfortunate man
was not resident of Mineral but
was taken off there for medical
treatment. 1t is said that his
home is in the territory.
The railroad company has been
severely condemned for not taking
proper precautions to control the
crowd which they knew would 60
on the excursion and which in the
light Of past events they knew
would be an unruly one.
The reT orts sent out in regard
TO the excursion have injured the
territory materially. One which
has appeared IN the metropoliton
press states that four men were
killed and many others wounded.
The accounts are in line with the
lurid stuff which is sent from como
territory correspondents and is
very damaging to this section.
An effort will be made to bring
sufficient pressure on the railroad
companies to either discontinue
the Sunday excursions entirely or
to compel them to offer adequate
protection to the passengers from
the lawless element.

The Friars, Lands.

Word reaches here that President
Roosevelt has decided to send a spe-
cial commission to Rome to negotiate
with the vatican for the purchase Of
the property of the friars in the Philip
pines, says the Baltimore Sun.
The commissioners selected by the
president to represent the United
States in the negotiations are Cover
nor w. H. Taft and Bishop Thomas
'O'Gorman.
Negotiations looking to the appoint
ment of such commission have been
in progress for some time between
Archbishop John Ireland and repre-
|sentatives of the administration.
Some opposition has been encountered
in the matter Of details.
The purpose Of the mission to Rome
is to agree upon price to be paid by
this government for the property held
by the church in the Philippine islands.
The settlement will probably involve
$S,OOO,OOO or $1O,O0O,OOO.

AuA NVlO1L1OAS Luc lSluuuS,
The Sun then proceeds to give the
following particulars of the holdings
of the friars in the islands:
The friars own about 100000 acres
of land in the Philippines. In Decem-
Der last Secretary Root proposed in his
annual report that this land be pur-
chased by this government and sold
to the natives.
The friars of the Philippines are the
Augustinians, Dominicans, Recoletos,
Franciscans, and, to a minor extent,
Jesuits and Benedictines. All these
belong to regular" religious orders,
or orders with solemn vows and owe
no allegiance to the bishops of the dio-
ceses in which they are established,
but depend directly ON authority from
the pope.
The Catholic church in the Philip
pines is under the direction of an arch
bishop and four bishops. The whole
clergy of the Islands numbers about
1893 priests. OF these 775 are of the
secular clergy, and directly governed
by the bishops. The remainder are
'friars,"' members of religious orders.
The 775 secular priests have charge of
a population Of about 100000, which
is about the proportion of Catholic
clergy to Catholic laity in the arch
diocese Of New York.
The 1900 monks in the Philippines
look after the spiritual wants Of G,OUO,-
JOO Filipino Catholics. Many of these
monks are engaged in educational and
literary work, and in the statistics of
the propaganda in Rome the Philip
pines are ranked as the Catholic coun-
try which has relatively the smallest
body Of clergy.
The largest body of friars is the
Calced Augustinians, who number 1927
priests, and attend to the religious
wants of 2,345,OOO Catholics. The Dis
calced Augustinians, or "Rccoletos,"
number 321 priests and have under
their charge some 1,25O,OOO souls. The
24O Franciscans and 233 Dominicans
look after 100000 and 10000 Chris
tians, respectively, and the hundred
odd Jesuits and small force of Bene-
dictines, though mainly engaged in
teaching, give attention to the parish
wants Of nearly 100000 persons.
The D0minicans are in charge Of
the. University of Manila, which was
founded two centuries ago. The Jes-
uites conduct a fiourishing college, and
are also in charge of the meteorological
observatory ut Manila. Their mis-
sionary labors are chiefly confined to
the island of Mindanao. At Vigan the
4 Augustinians direct large seminary
and college, and at Tambohn, near
Manila, the same friars manage an
|orphanage and Industrial school. The
Augustinian nuns have an orphan
asylum for girls at Mandaloya, on the
Casig. The Franciscans also give their
services to education and to the care
Of the sick, chiefly in the st. Lazarus
hospital at Manila, the st. Ann in
firmary In the province of Saguna, and
the Vasa infirmary in the province of
the Canaries.
A project was started in this coun-
try some time ago to bring the most
satisfactory Of all remedies to the re-
ligious question in the Philippines.
This is the plan to educate American
priests for the Philippine missions.

his face. He read it carefully through
then held it up to the light, and de.
hberately read it through a second
time. Then he paused moment in
thought, and said:
"'Did you hear anything about the
way this information was obtained?
Do you know anything as to how they
got it?'
"'No,' had heard nothing in re-
gard to it till that morning, when
called down by my father from the
senate gallery.
"'Your father and General Scott do
not say who they think are concerned
in it. Do you think they knowr
"On that point, too, could give no
additional information further than
my impression that my fathers knowl-
edge of it was limited to what had
been communicated to him by Colonel
Stone, in whose statements he had i'm
plicit confidence.
"'Did you ever hear any names
mentioned? Did you, for instance,
ever hear anything said about such a
name as PinkertonY
"'No.' I had heard no such name
in connection with the matter-no
name at all, in fact, except those of
General Scott and Colonel Stone.
"He thought a moment and then
said:
"T may as well tell you why ask.
There were stories or rumors some
time ago, before left home, about
people who were intending to do me
mischief. 1 never attached much i'm
portance to them-never wanted to be-
lieve any such thing. So never would
do anything about them in the way Of
taking precautions and the like. Some
of my friends, though, thought differ
ently-Judd and others-and without
my knowledge they employed a de-
tective to look into the matter. 1t
seems he has occasionally reported
what he found, and only today, since
we arrived at this house, he brought
this story, or something like it, about
an attempt on my life in the confu-
sion and hurly-burly of the reception

"'Surely, Mr.. Lincoln said I, that
is strong corroboration of the news

"He smiled and shook his head.
"That is exactly why was asking
you about names. If different per-
sons, not knowing of each others
work, have been pursuing separate
clues that led to the same result, why,
then, it shows there may be something
in it. But If this is only the same
story, filtered through two channels,
and reaching me in two ways, then
that don't make it any stronger. Don't
you see?

asserted my strong belief that the
two Investigations had been conducted
independently of each other, and
urged that there was enough Of prob
ability to make 1T prudent to adopt

changes in hour and train that would
avoid all risk.

Wheeler, the pennyroyal statesman
from Kentucky in his fear lest we

Europeans, overlooks the danger that
the reverse may be true, that our dis

institutions. Very many Europeans
have been Americanized, but Willie
Wally Astor is almost the only Ameri-
can who has renowned his allegiance

In his statement before the senat,

In his statement before the senate
committee on the Philippines, Gov
ernor Taft, who recently returned
from Manila, made some significant re-
marks concerning Philippine women.
Women in the islands, according to
Governor Taft, hold superior posi-
tion. They are the active managers
in general affairs. The Spanish arch
bishop said to him that if it was in
tended to confer any political author
ity upon the Filipinos it should be
conferred upon the female sex. De-
scribing the condition in the Philip
pines: he stated that the mass of the
islanders desired peace, but that the
insurrectiOniStS kept the people i'm
state of terrorism. He urged that
the principle of keeping up state OF
war against the islanders as a whole
was mistaken policy, and that, as
far as possible, civil measures should
be reSorted to, while the work of the
army should be confined to protecting
the islanders against the attacks OF
the barbaric bands who made their
strongholds i'm the mountain Businesses
and in the interior of the islands.

The fiction of the mysterious Lode
stone mountain which drew the nails
out of ships that approached near
enough, has certain foundation in
fact, says the Steele, only the fact has
suffered by expansion. On the coast of
Norway, near Joedern, there is a sand
dune of nearly three-quarters of mile
in length. The sand is mixed with
PARTICLES OF lodest0ne, and when ship
comes in the vicinity the compass be-
comes irregular, and the vessel is en-
tangled in kind of whirlpool and
thrown ashore.
