MEDALS ARE NOW WORN
IN THE PAPAL HALLS.
Rules of Leo XIII Have Changed at
the Vatican.

Rome, Oct. 24.-All there agree that
and that these are no more the days
of Leo XIII, when every act, no mat
ter how small, was a protest against
the usurpation of the Papal right. An
Italian uniform or even a decoration
within the precincts of the Vatican was
absolutely unknown, and, indeed, never
thought of, while the following anec-
dote will show the present trend of
events:
Some charity children went to sing
to Pope Plus a hymn by Count Della
Del Rovre. AS they began the hymn,
the composer appeared, wearing vari-
GUS decorations, among them two Ital-
ian orders and a medal gained during
the War of Independence. The gen.
darme on duty stared as though stu
pefied at the approaching Count, and
pointed dramatically at the decorations.
What are those?" he demanded.
Decorations, replied the Count,
coldly.
Remove the baubles or you cannot
enter" said the guard.
At this Count Della Rovre smiled,
saying: IT have the Pontiff's permits
sion through his master of the cham
Der; do you require higher authority"
Needless to say, the Count entered,
and the decorations CLEANED during the
entire time of his stay, under the eyes
of the Pope.

SIR HENRY DURAND
WILL RE BRITISH AMBASSADOR TO
THE UNITED STATES.
NOW AMBASSADOR TO SPAIN.
HAS EXPRESSED HIS FRIENDLI-
NESS TOWARDS AMERICANS.

Sir Henry Durnnd Succeeds the Late
Sir Michael Herbert-He Is said to
BE an Excellent Lawyer-He Is Ex-
pected to Sail for the United
States without DeIay-Lady Du-
rand Not Very StrOng-Sketch of
Sir Henry.
London, Oct. 4-The Associated
Press is able to announce the appoint
ment of Sir Henry Mortimer Durand,
the British ambassador at Madrid. as
British ambassador to the United
States, to succeed the late Sir Michael
Herbert. Official announcement OF the
appointment, however, will not be made
until Monday, when the King will for
mally sign his commission.
The selection of Sir Henry to succeed
Sir Michael Herbert was a surprise to
most people here, chiefly because he
has never had any official connection
with Washington.
The Associated Press learns that Sir
Henry has frequently expressed a
great liking for Americans and de-
sire to go to the United States. His
promotion comes more or less in the
ordinary course of diplomatic changes,
but one of the strongest recommended
tions which appealed to Foreign Sec
rotary Lansdowne was Sir Henry's
reputation of being an excellent law
yer. A similar qualification had much
to do with the appointment of the late
Lord Pauncefote.
The new ambassador will speedily
bid farewell to the Spanish court, and
proceed to the United States without
delay.
Lady Durand is not very strong, but
it is hoped that the American climate
will benefit her health, and enable her
to completely fulfil her duties as
hostess of the British embassy. The
daughter of Sir Henry and Lady Du-
rand is much liked in Madrid society.
Their son is an officer in a Lancers
regiment
In addition to his diplomatic sue
cesses in Persia, India and Afghanis-
tan, Sir Henry is an expert shot, and
has had many adventures with big
game while hunting in India, where
he was closely connected with Gen.
Lord Roberts, now field marshal, serv-
ing as his political secretary during
the famous Cabul campaign.
Sir Henry, who was born in 1850, is
a son of the late Maj Gen. Sir Henry
Durand, He married in 1875 Ella Reve,
daughter OF Teignmouth Sandys, Esq,
of the British civil service. Sir Henry
was appointed to the British priVy
council in 1901. He is the author of
life of his father Sir Henry Durand,
and of "HeleVen Treveryan.'

ing the same at a sacrifice. and thereby

AMERICANS COMPLAIN
OF MURDER IN CUBA.
They Say That Investigation Was
Prevented by Authorities.

They Say That Investigation Was
Prevented by Authorities.
Havana, Oct. 24-American resi-
dents at Puerto Principe have tele-
graphed United States Minister Squiers
regarding the alleged murder of an
American named Murray, who kept a
hotel in that city, which was reported
by the local papers as having occurred
on Sunday.
According to the papers. Murray
was found dead in a cell at police
headquarters. In the same cell was
confined a negro, who had in his pos
session a knife and who was reported
to be mad. No blood was found in
the cell, but certain circumstances
aroused suspicion of foul play in the
minds of the Americans, and they ap-
pointed a lawyer to assist them in an
investigation. They now complain to
Minister Squiers that the lawyer whom
they employed was not allowed to
take any action in the matter, and
they ask that the American residents
be protected.
The minister replied that they would
be protected, and asked also that he
be furnished with full details Of the
tragedy. He had previously asked
Minister of State and Justice zaldo to
make an investigation of the affair.

is TALK OF REDUCING
WAGES AT FALL RIVER.

Fall River. Mass. Oct. 24.-The IN
satisfactory state of the cloth market,
the high price of cotton and the I'M
derselling of Fall River by manufac-
turers elsewhere are leading some of
the treasurers here to argue in favor
of a reduction in the cost of produc-
ton. They contend that such a step
would tend to prevent stock accumu-
lating at first hands. The majority of
manufacturers fear that such a move
ment would benefit dealers in the out
put solely. The present period OF cur
tailment does not appear to have had
any great effect on the local market.
Should trading not improve 1t Is
thought the question Of reducing wages
may be considered, but an attack will
be made on the pay rolls only as last
resort.
