"Georgians, who are chiefly employed on
the railways, are prominent among the
strikers. The persons killed in collisions

Georgia, and at Betum and Mikailovo had
a long standing grudge against Russia and
an equally long-standing revolutionary
propaganda. The slaughter of their fell

great uneasiness prevails lest the strike

liam H. O'Connell, bishop Of Portland, Is
perhaps the only prelate in America COM
petent to speak of Pope Piux x. from per-
sonal acquaintance, formed during his
connection with the American college at
Rome. Speaking Of Sarto's selection az
pope, Bishop O'Connell said:
'syery few in Rome know him. He came
to Rome only rarely and then when
called there by ecclesiastical affairs, and
while there he led a life Of almost seclu-
sion. He has been distinguished above
all things for his apostolic zeal as a bishop.
This will make him doubly welcome to
the Catholic episcopate. His selection
means plainly that the sacred college saw
the necessity of electing a cardinal OF
practical experience in diocesan admins
tration to the chair Of st. Peter, and all
the world will applaud the wisdom OF their
choice
Cardinal Sarto conducted during my
time in Rome several pilgrimages OF the
neople Of Lombardy and on these occa-
sions I had the privilege OF meeting him.
