Pope Heard in Indiana.

Notre Dame, Ind, May 2. BY the aid
of photograph, the faculty and stu
dents of the university Friday heard the
voice of Pope Leo, in solemn benediction
and the responses sungby the Cardinals
and the members of the papal court as
they occurred at the jubilee celebration
March s in Rome. The cylinder was
presented to DR.. Zahm by NJ. Bettine,
the scientist, the day the doctor left for
Paris. He was also presented with a
record of the Ave Maria, the Pope's
favorite prayer. The one condition on
which he permitted the cylinders to be
made was that they should not be used
for commercial purposes. The recital
was the first given in America.

Priest Charged with Murder.

LOrrain, O., May 2.-It is almost
certain that an arrest will be made today
in the Reichlan murder case. Blood
hounds were put on the trail this morn
ing and were run over the Reichlan lawn
after they had been in the chamber oc-
cupied by the victim, Miss Reichlin.
They paid no attention to many of the
tracks in the yard nor did they catch the
scent on the ladder by which it was sup
posed the murderer entered. The police
have now abandoned the theory that the
murderer entered by way of the ladder
and window, but they claim to have
another clue.
Lorrain, O., May Rev. Waller
was placed under arrest at $3.50 charged
with the murder. He was taken to the
county Jail at Elyria.

Preparing for Eyentualities.

Vienna, May 1.-The Austro-Hun-
garian battleships Hapsburg and
Wien and the torpedo boat Magnet
have arrived at Salonica. It is
said that a state of siege has been
proclaimed there owing to the distur-
Dances. A dispatch from Naples states
that an Italian naval division had been
ordered to sail Immediately for Salonica.
This would seem to indicate that the
foreign powers wish to have sufficient
naval force on hand to be prepared for
any serious eventualities in the Balkans.
Constantinople, May 1.-The acting
German Consul at Salonica was injured
in the explosion which wrecked the
Ottoman Bank there yesterday. The
explosion was caused by dynamite bombs
thrown by anarchists. Many Bulgarians
we're reported to have been killed by
the explosion and by other bombs thrown
during the day.

Accused of Murder.

New York, May 2.-Forced to stand
close beside the coffin in which rested
the body of his alleged victim, Daniel
Kennedy, accused of the murder of
Jas Edward Mcmahon, a contractor, had
an experience that tested his nerves to
the cOllapsing point. With beads OF
perspiration standing on his face, i'm
dicating the severe mental strain he was
under, he denied that Mcmahon was
the man he had fight with Thursday
night. He was taken back to the station
house on the verge Of collapse. The
police are confident Kennedy committed
the crime and they are investigating a
renort that he had an accomplice.

LEGISLATURE.

The joint resolution looking to amend
ment to the United States Constitution
for election of Senators by direct vote OF
the people was the subject OF warm
discussion in the House yesterday. Mr..
Fulton accused the courts Of justice COM
mittee of smothering the resolution, and
asked that it be discharged from further
consideration. The House by vote Of
45 to II refused to discharge the COM
mittee. The remainder of the day in
the House was spent in discussion OF the
bill providing penalties for enticing SER
wants away, but no final action was
taken. A test vote indicated that the
bill will be defeated unless materially
amended.
The condition of the attic Of the State
Capitol was the subject of joint resolu-
ton yesterday, and the appointment OF a
Joint committee was made to investigate
and report at once. 1t was said by Mr..
Wickham, who introduced the resolu-
ton, that the attic was in most danger
Gus condition.
Mr.. Opie in the Senate offered joint
resolution, as follows:
Whereas it is manifestly impossible
for the General Assembly to so complete
the work of conforming the laws OF the
commonwealth to the requirements of the
constitution as to have it ready for the
revision committee by May Is, the date
heretofore set for the recess to begin I;
and whereas thereiis still much legisla-
ton of an important character before the
two bodies of the General Assembly and
their committees, which cannot be prop
erly disposed Of in the time remaining
before that date be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of
Delegates concurring) That the date for
taking said recess be set for June 10,
instead of May IS; that the committees
be urged to push forward with their
work so as to bring in their com
plete reports not later than May 10;
that on and after May i both
Houses will meet at 10 a. M, and that
after May IL no bills shall be offered
except by committees or by unanimous
consent, and that if at any time here
after either House shall find itself with
out a sufficient number of members
present to properly transact its business,
said House will order the roll of its
members to be called and such action
taken as to absentees as may be proper.
Mr.. Chapman, of Greene, by request,
introduced a bill to repeal Gan act to
encourage immigration into the Com
monwealth of Virginia and to promote
sales of land within the Commonwealth
to immigrants, &" approved March D,
1894.
Mr.. Chapman said he had been in
formed that under the act named a
society was operating in the State and
engaged in the sale of lands to immi-
grants without paying a license. The
real estate men of the State complain
that it is an injustice to those who pay
city and State taxes, and he presented
the bill by request.
The following bills were introduced
in the House:
BY Mr.. Boaz-To appropriate $500,
or so much as necessary, to prepare
list of charters in the Office of the sec
retary of the Commonwealth for the
State corporation commission.
BY Mr.. PowerstImposing a special

AT THE twenty-frst annual encamp-
ment of the department Of West Nir-
ginia. Grand Army Of the Republic,
which closed at Clarksburg Thursday, a
resolution was passed protesting against
placing the statue of Robert f.
Lee in the national Capitol. This may
have been expected. The most exciting
scenes which superinduced the war be-
tween the States were enacted in the
portion of the old Commonwealth now
known as West Virginia, when an old
fanatic and murderer invaded Harper s
Ferry in 1859. Colonel Robert E. Lee
at the head of United States regular
troops went to the rescue and saved the
inhabitants from slaughter. When it
became necessary for Virginia to dissolve
her connection With the union and the
State availed itself of provision of the
federal compact, the position of the State
which should have shown its fealty to
Eastern Virginia and the cbieftain who
had played such a CONSPICUOUS part in
the scenes of October, 1859, deserted to
the ranks of the people who had favored
the mission of John Brown and who
sent lawyers to CharlestOwn to defend
that individual when he was placed on
trial for wholesale number.

FIRE AT WEST POINT.

The town of West Point, Va, was
visited by destructive fire at o'clock
yesterday morning. Forty-seyen build
ings were burned in the heart of the
town. The loss by conservative estimate
is S15S, 600. There are practically no
places of supply left in the town, and
for some time the people will have to
look to outside aid for their daily needs.
There are no vacant buildings, and the
housing of these families presents quite
a problem. Fortunately neither the
Terminal Hotel nor the Beach Park
Hotel were injured. Mr.. liuyernator
at once threw open his hotel to the
people and attended to their comfort.
Much furniture was taken out OF the
houses and lies scattered outside the
burned area, where an array Of chimneys
and the walls of only few houses that
we're brick are left standing. The Grove
Hotel, including the postOffice and drug
store, owned by United States Marshal
Morgan Treat, was among the property
destroyed. His loss is about 50, OOO

WHILE so many things are occurring
in this age which cause diplomatic notes
to pass from one capital to another, 1t is
thought by many that the outrageous
prosecutions of the Jews in Russia should
call for official as well as for nonofficial
protest--the first coming from the gov
eminent and the other coming from the
people of the United States. The blood
of men and women and children slaugh-
tered for no reason but simply because
they were Jews, is crying out to heaven
for its vengeance, and the voice of hui
mainly should not be silent. Should
the protest be unheeded by the Russian
government, or if thatgOvernment should
decline to receive it on the ground that
the matter was one for Russian interior
ence alone, no harm would be worked,
while the United States would be in the
right attitude of protesting to the world
against atrocities perpetrated against an
inofensive and helpless race.

HIGH LICENSE went into effect in New

the Bronx will go out Of business. I'm
der the new law licenses were advanced
from 5000 to 5000 in Brooklyn and from
$500 to 81, 200 in Manhattan and the
Bronx. The employees Of 7lS public
houses will now be forced to seek other
positions. Many may not find that so
easy and some will doubtless ''be on
their uppers" before something turns
I'D. The elements that have been in
strumental in forcing high license on
New York will not come TO the rescue
by furnishing employment to the thou
sands of bartenders, walters, dishwashers'

tiers, &C., formerly employed in those
places, and as a consequence there will
be additional recruits to the army of the

who mean well, but who are thoughtless
nevertheless. They should realize what
would follow should their chimeras be
adopted. Suppose all the cafes of the
