probably prove as futile as previous ris-

1t is a curious thing that the mystery
surrounding the personality of the pre-
tender has not been solved. At the be-
ginning of the rebellion he was supposed to
be an educated Moor OF the lower class,
who gained a reputation for sanctity by
conjuring. Today under the same title Of
"Bu Hamara" the pretender is an unknown
person, whose Identity has entirely baf-
fed discovery and to whom the native Of

GIGANTIC CHICAGO SCHEME
Under Ground Railroad IL TO he Built
at n Cost of Many Millions
of Dollars.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-New York and
Chicago capitalists are said to have Joined
forces to launch in Chicago one of the most
colossal traction ventures, according to the
Daily News, the city has known.
The scheme is for an underground rail-
road, combined with a new elevated, the
cost of the entire project to be from SSH
600. 600 to $50. .OOO, 900.
Briefly stated the plan comprehends the
construction of a tunnel under the down
town streets, making a complete loop OF
the business section, to connect with a new
elevated road. which It is proposed to con-
struct parallel with the North Side line,
to be reached by means Of an incline. The
scheme is designed largely to benefit the
stock yards district. The Interborough
Rapid Transit company Of New York, which
built the big underground railways in that
city, is said to be really at the head OF the
scheme. Eight New Workers. have been in
terested, 1t is said.
Only six Chicagoans have so far been
mentioned in the deal II is further re-
ported that It was the intention OF the pro-
moters to introduce the petition to the
council before the spring election, until It
was learned that Mayor Harrison did not
approve of the plan.

CARDINALS VISIT THE POPE
In Their Gorgeous Red Robes Present
Christmas Greetings 90
the Pontin.f

ROME, Dec. 23.-There was a pictur-
esque scene in the pope's private library
today when all the cardinals arrived in
Rome TO present the pontin with their
Christmas greetings.
The visitors wore their gorgeous red robes.
A remarkable fact was that, with the ex-
ception OF Cardinal San Stefano and Car
dinal Paricchi. ali the assembled prelates,
many of whom weer very old, appeared
exceptionally we'll. animated and full Of
plans for the future.
Cardinal santo Stefano, as dean Of the
sacred college, read the congratulatory ad-
dress. The pope spoke at some length in
reply and expressed keen sorrow at the fact
that his jubilee year was embittered by
painful events. referring. evidently, to the
divorce bill.
The pontiff in this connection said: "What
they want is the fall OF Christian order and
the reconstruction OF the states on the basis
of Paganism."
The pope pleaded for spread of Chris
tian democracy ION the lines preached by
the church to oppose the seditious, social
istic doctrine which now Acknowledges no
God"

BOMB BURSTS IN CATHEDRAL
Supposed Anarchist Makes Clumsy At
tempt TO Destroy st. Peters
Church, Geneva.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Dec. 2S.-A dyna-
mite bomb was exploded at the entrance
OF st. Peters cathedral last night. The
doorway was damaged, but not seriously.
The outrage is supposed to have been per-
pstrated by an anarchist.
The bomb was filled with scrap iron.
which exploded violently, and but for the
clumsy manner in which the bomb was
placed the damage to the cathedral un-
doubtedly would have been serious. Win
dows Of neighboring houses were shattered
and an inmate OF an adjacent house was
thrown out of his bed.
An hour before the explosion the police
frustrated an attempt to blow up the resi-
dence Of Counselor Fassidy. The, outrage
is supposed to have been committed in re-
venge for proposed anti-anarchist legisla-
tion and the refusal of the federal govern
ment to grant amnesty to the anarchists
who we're imprisoned in connection with
the recent street car strike.
