scHlsM IN FILIPINO CHURCH
Archbishop Guido Reports on condi-
tions-Pope Satisfied.

Rome, March 1O.-Another report
from Archbishop Guido, the apostolic
delegate in the Philippines, has just
been received at the Vatican. 1t
gives a fuller account of the religious
conditions in the islands. The schism
started by Agliya, the leader OF the
independent Catholic church, seems
graver than at first appeared, as, ac-
cording to the report. a strong Fill
ipino party is raising false hopes
among the natives of independence
from Rome, claiming that the exul-
sion of the friars is indispensable to
obtain the independence of the coun-
try. The priests number IA.
1t is gathered from good sources
that the Vatican is we'll satisfied with
the prudent and wise, but at the same
time energetic. action of Archbishop
Guido, who, with persuasion, had sue
ceeded in checking the dissident move
ment.

Water Front.


Portland, Ore, March 1O.-Fire
broke out shortly before noon on Vic.
toria dock, situated on the east side
of the Willamette river, just north OF
the railroad bridge, and burned fierce
ly for two hours, destroying property
of an estimated value of 100000.
The fire spread to Irving dock ad.
Joining and the two docks together
with about 100000 bushels of wheat
were totally destroyed.
Several other buildings and about
20 freight cars were destroyed. The
fire department was handicapped bad
ly on account of being able to get
water only on one side.
The ~barkentine Amazon, moored
close to Victoria dock, was in danger
but fortunately the wind was favor
e3le and the vessel was lot damaged
The two docks are about 500 feet LONG

Il is impossible to learn the
amount of insurance at present

were insured. 1t is rumored that the
fire was set by a tramp who threw
a lighted cigarette on the floor.

STANDS THE STRAIN WELL
Reception to Pilgrims Does Not
Fatigue Pope Seriously.


Paris. March 1O.-A special dis
patch from Rome says a correspondent
has obtained an interview with a pre-
late attached to the vatican, showing
the real state Of the pope's health.
"The reception of 5000 pilgrims
yesterday did not fatigue the pontiff
seriously" the correspondent asserts.
I'm fact, the audiences and recent
solemnities seem to have had the ef-
feet Of stimulating the vital forces of
the man.
Ills chief sources of fatigue have
been the giving of long private audi
ences and serious work with the cardi-
nails and Of the vatican. The only
thing the matter with the pope is i
rather stubborn cold, which cannot be
expected to be entirely cured before a
fortnight.
ut is only then that DR.. Lapponi
a form an opinion as to the pope's
weakness, the result of which may be
fatal. Although it has been denied,
the symptom that is causing DR.. Lap
poni the greatest anxiety recently IS
a slight disorder of the digestive and
Intestinal functions. For the present
the catarrh with which the pope has
been suffering is slowly but continu-
ally improving"

sGAlPERS KNOCKED OUT

cour, today Judge Woods made per-
manent the temporary injunction
granted last October against Bennett

temporary injunction was granted at
the instance of all the railroads en-

One case, that of the Wabash, was
decided today. 1t was agreed by the
attorneys representing the scalpers
and the railroads that the other suits
should abide by the result Of the Was
serman case. While the suits were
brought in the names of the railroads,
the worlds fair management took an
active part in the prosecution of them,
as the railroads had insisted that
without the protection of the courts
against the scalpers' tickets they
could not afford to make low rates.
The scalpers did not deny thai they
were dealing in the non-transferable
tickets, but set up as a defense that
the roads were in an unlawful pool

Every contention was ruled against

ACCUSED MURDERER
MAKES CONFESSION

Livingston, March "a most thor
ough investigation of the circum-
tances connected with the Reider
murder case has taken place here dur
ing the last two days, and the evil
dence secured is Of a most startling
character, and substantiates the story
told by Andy Widenbauer, who, dur
ing the. past two years, has guarded
we'll the secret of the awful crime.
1t is reported here this afternoon
that Zeitmeir, the principal, while in
ed to the wall made a confession prac-
tically admitting all that the accuser
had related concerning the crime. The
sheriff's Office refuses as yet to con
firm the rumor for the reaso that
there are other important witnesses
that they wish to cur
It is stated that Zeitmeir related the
story of the crime to a we'll known
stenographer of this city in the pres
ence of Sheriff Robertson and two
deputies. He went into details and in
| reciting the facts he was in no way
affected, but told the story Of the muir
der in a calm and deliberate manner.
He made a weak effort to justify
the shooting by claiming that he had
acted partially in self defense, but
the known facts connected with the
case are such as to discredit his story
as to having acted in self defense. AS
the circumstances attending the kill
ing are brought out it is made certain
that the murder was a cold blooded
affair without justification.
The murdered man was .inoffensive
and was never known to engage in /;
quarrel. He was driving across the
field of Zeitmeir's when the two men
became engaged in a quarrel which
resulted in Zeitmeir shooting the help
less man as he sat in the wagon. At
ter the first shot the team started to
run, when Zeitmeir climbed into the

yet alive, shot him the second time.
He then went to his brothers dwell
ing and while relating to his brother
the story of the shooting he was over
heard by Widenbauer, who was then
forced to accompany Zeitmeir to the
scene Of the shooting and together
they buried the body in a sawdust
pile ear by.
Zeitmeir warned Widenbauer that
if he yer related the secret he would
treat him as he had Reider. Sheriff
Robertson has done excellent work on
the case and expects to have the mat.

in a day or two.

SAM TRAVIS TOOK FIVE SHOTS
AT JOHN WALKER.
PROVED VERY POOR SHOT
Walker Assaulted Travis in Dance
Hall and Latter Brought
Gun Into Play.

Helena. March Bad feeling be-
tween Sam Travis, brother Of Chief
of Police Thomas Travis, and a prom
inent saloon man, and the Walker
boys. sons OF Police Magistrate Ed.
s. Walker, which has been apparent
for some time, and which has found
expression, it is said, in several per-
sonal encounters, eliminated at 4
O'Clock yesterday morning in the Coli
scum dance hall on Wood street, when
John Walker assaulted Travis and the
latter pulled a revolver and took five
shots at Walker as he run down the
street. AS far as known none OF the
shots took effect. The police were
looking for Walker yesterday, but he
was not found. Travis was not ar
rested.
According to the story told by those
who witnessed the shooting Travis
was standing at the end Of the bar in
the dance hall drinking and talking
with some friends, when Walker en-
tered. Travis did not see Walker, it
is said. and the latter walked up be-
hind him and dealt him a blow on the
ear. Travis fell against the ice box
and dropped to the floor in a sort OF
dazed condition. He soon recovered
and or regaining his feet pulled a gun
from his pocket. Walker, who had
been standing near, seeing the gun,
grabbed a bystander and holding him
as a shield backed out of the dance
hall and into the street. Travis fol
lowing at close range.
On reaching the street, Walker
turned and ran as far as Jackson,
Travis followed, meanwhile taking
five shots at the fleeing man. Walker
turned into Jackson street and con
tinued to run, while Travis re-entered
the dance hall. The police immediate
ly began a search for Walker, but
he was not found.
1t is asserted by the police tina
night before last Walker attempted tc
borrow a gun at several Wood street
places, saying that he intended to use
it on Travis.
On several occasione, it is said
there have been evidences of trouble
between Travis and John and San
Walker. Less than two weeks age
the boys entered Travis saloon an6
after a few words an encounter 'oc
Cured in which the Walker boys were
worsted. On this occasion nc arrests
were made.
About six weeks ago John Walker
was arrested by Sergeant Hay on the
charge of beating a woman in May
stuart's place. The sergeant had JUS
taken Walker into the station when hi
received a hurry call from down the
street and left the prisoner in the
office with Night Jailer Quinn. Walk
er, it is asserted, asked Quinn to be
permitted to go across the street for {
drink before he. was locked up, prom
Using to return Immediately. The
taller took the promise at it's face
value and allowed the prisoner to go
He did not return and, it is asserted
by the police, that he Immediately lef'

turned about two weeks ago.

The new rife has been attacked chiefly

that accuracy of fire was impossible with

long; that no true alignment could be OBJ
tanned over sights in such necessarily
close juXtapOsition.
