HOPE TO REACH
UNDERSTANDING

Rome, Jan. 3.-The vatican is in re-
ceipt of report on the situation in
the Philippines from Mgr Guidi,
apostolic delegate in the islands. The
delegate expresses hope that as he
and the governor are both animated
by desire to maintain pacification
and secure the prosperity of the ISL
ands they will succeed in reaching an
understanding satisfactory to Rome,
Washington and the Philippine
people.
Guidi gives a summary of the evil
dence he has collected with regard to
the selling of friar lands, the settle
ment of rentals, damages due the
church, conveyance of titles and the
administration of charitable and edu-
cational trusts. He thinks the ques-
ton of Withdrawals of the friars
could be solved through re-organiza-
ton Of the church. He also says the
schism in the Roman Catholic church
in the Philippines will be put down,
although the Separatist movement is
believed to be encouraged by the peo-
pies dislike of the friars and their
desire to have the Filipino church not
connected with the ancient regime.

No one Hurt

Scranton Pa, Jan. 3.-The aban-
doned workings of the Eddy Creek
colliery of the Delaware and Hudson
company, beneath the very heart of
the town of Olyphant, caved in yester-
day afternoon and engulfed four frame
buildings, covering an aggregate
ground space of 5000 square feet A
gang of men and boys at work in the
mine beyond the fall encountered a
flooded dip" in vein in making
their way out by a circuitous route
and had to swim from one rise to an
other. No one either above or below
ground sustained injury.
At o'clock the settling began and
in half an hour O'Brien's three-story
hotel, Mrs. Ann Evans double dwell
ing, Mrs. Jane Ackerleys double store
building and a one-story barber shop
were ground to a debris in the yawn-
mig pit, with the uppermost part of
the mound 40 feet below the surface.
A few houses are projecting over the
edge of the pit. The vein that caved
in is lis feet below the surface.
Twenty minutes after the disturbance
it was first noticed that the opening
had widened until it reached across
the street and half way beneath
O'Brien's hotel. Then with terrific
crash the hotel pitched forward,
turned completely about and landed
on it's roof in the bottom of the abyss.
A moment later the Evans house fell
over the edge and demolished itself on
the ruins of the hotel The Ackerly
building and the barber shop slid into
the chasm about the same time. For
tunately for the company the surface
ceased cracking 80 feet from the
river. Had it reached the river the
mine would have been drowned.

DENIES STORY
AS TO MESSMER

Washington, Jan. 3.-The attention
of the officers of the administration
charged with the direction of Philip
pine affairs Is being called to dis
patch from home to the effect that
Secretary Hay has written the vati-
can that Mgr. Messmer of Green Bay,
Wis, is impossible for the position of
Bishop of Manila because of a fire.
brand speech which he recently made
before the Catholic federation. The
statement was made in the most en-
phatic terms that there was absolute
ly no foundation for the story. 1t
was further declared that in no single
instance has the United States gov
eminent allowed itself to be placed in
a position of debating the personality
of any priest or church official who
was to go or stay in the Philippines.
