Rome, March 29.-The Pope has ex-
pressed his intention of holding con-
sistory at the end of April or the be-
ginning of May, the consistory being
especially necessary for the appoint
ment of bishops.

mite in regard to the foreigners. The
only names mentioned are Monsignors

lates of the Pontiff, Mgr. Taliani, the
papal nuncio at Vienna, and Mgr. Aju-
ii, the papal nuncio at Lisbon.

almost sure to be appointed coadjutor

arrived in the city to-day and will be
the first witnesses called tomorrow
The clerks in Walbridge's hardware
store, who sold Pennell a revolver on
the morning after the discovery of the
Burdick murder, may be called upon
to tell what they know about Pennells
strange actions on that morning.
After the Burdick inquest is closed
the official inquiry into the death of
Pencil will begin.
Several attorneys, representing acci-
dent insurance companies in which
Pencil was insured, will be present 1t
is known that some of them are in
c1ined to contest the payment of poll
cies on Pencils life.
Pennell carried $4,000 in accident in
surance, none of which has been paid.
Besides that. his life was insured for
S215,000. The policies, with one ex-
ception, were taken out four or FIVE
years ago. The suicide clause give one
year from the date of issue as the
term during which the insurance, il
death was by suicide, would not be
payable. OF the $1S5,O0O insurance
which is incontestable, four policies,
amounting to $50, 900, have been paid.

will be. the first witnesses called by
Judge Murphy tomorrow. They were
on Kensington avenue. going in the
same direction as Pencils automo-
bile. Pennell sounded his gong three
times. At the third ring. they looked
around.
They saw the machine in the mid
die of the street, about fifty yards be-
hind them. They saw Pennells hand
coming down from his head, as IL he
had been reaching for his hat, which
they assumed had blown off. About
the same time they saw the machine
start towards the curb. In an instant
it had jumped the curb and plunged
into the quarry. They heard Mrs.
Pennell scream, but Pencil uttered
no cry.

ARE SORE ON DEWEY
CsERMAN-AMERICAN CRITICISE
HIM SEVERELY.
COMMENTS ON GERMAN NAVY
ARE ROUNDLY CONDEMNED BY
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

Remarks of the Admiral of the
Navy Pronounced Disparaging
and UncaIled fOr-COupIed With a
EuIOgy of Great Britain, German
Americans Regarded His Criticism
of Germany's Navy as DOubly
observation-disclosures of the HOr-
nets Nest Dewey Has Found.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 29.-Delegates
of the Western branch of the German
American Alliance of Pennsylvania to-
day passed the following resolution
which was called forth by remarks at
tributed to Admiral Dewey concerning
the Germany navy:
Resolution: The recent disparaging
and uncalled-for remarks of Admiral
Dewey about the German navy were,
if the press has quoted him correctly,
unworthy of naval officer of his rank.
Coupled as his undiplomatic statement
was, with a eulogy of Great Britain's
friendship for America, it would seem
that the Admirals discourtesy to Ger
many was prompted rather by social
prejudices than by true patriotism.
A composite people like our own is
bound by congenial and cultured ties
to Germany no less than to England.
To needlessly offend a people to whom
we are closely related, and to whom
we owe so much, must arouse the els
approval of every fair-minded true
American. 1t is a menace to our land
to have our national issues depend
upon men whose visions are clouded
by racial prejudices. In military and
naval affairs the judgment of such a
man cannot be relied upon, because
he is ipso facto unable to ascertain cur
own weakness and the real strength
of foreign nation.
What the Admiral Said.
The following are the remarks at
tributed to Admiral Dewey:
1.-THE United States navy is the great
est in the world for the reason that
every man in the United States navy is
a man of intelligence. He knows just
what to do and the right time to do 1t.
"a wArship is an enormous machine
shop and every part of that ponder
Gus creation must be operated with in
telligence. The German navy, for in
stance, is an entirely different organ
izatior in it's makeup of human ma
terial.
81 have made deep study of that
navy. My belief is that its efficiency
in possible action is greatly overesti
mated.
1.-THE maneuvers in the Caribbean
were not only successful, but were the
greatest object lesson of the kind prob
ably that the world has ever seen.
ut was an object lesson to the Kaiser
more than to any other person.
Think of it, fifty-four warships, in
Guiding GOLFERS and all! Germany
could not possibly get a fleet over here
that could fight such an aggregation
of warships as that"
This further explanatory statement
is attributed to Admiral Dewey:
''I have no unfriendly feeling toward
the German Emperor. l met his broth
er in the Orient some years ago. Our
relations are most cordial"

London, March 29.-The dispatch of
the remains of Maj. Gen. Macdonald,
who committed suicide in Paris, to
Scotland tonight by train, was the
occasion for a remarkable demonstra-
ton, owing to the fact that his widow
has decided that thes burial shall take
place at o'clock in the morning, i'm
mediately after the arrival of the body
at Edinburgh.
Hundreds of Scotchmen, represent
ing the Highland Societies, and several
Scotch members of Parliament, gather
ed on the platform of the Kings Cross
Railway station here. Most of the
Scotchmen were in the national cos
tunes. Wreaths were placed on the
coffin bearing the name of the diff
ferent clans, and the pipers played
national dirges as the body was en-
trained.
All attempts to persuade the widow
to delay the interment and permit the
Highlanders to arrange for a national
funeral in the Highlands having fail
ed, a large number of influential
Scotchmen adjourned to the hotel In
the railway station and held a meet
ing of protest. The Scotch members
of Parliament, Allan and Galloway
Weir, and others made speeches and
a resolution was adopted, urging the
lord provost of Edinburgh to renew
the efforts to have the funeral post
poned.
The Generals remains arrived In
London at o'clock this morning, ac-
companied only by Sir Hector's older
brother, his cousin. who is a clergy
man, and an undertaken Nobody was
at the station to meet them, and the
body, enclosed in a plain, wooden pack
ing case, was driven unnoticed through
London to the Gings Cross Railway.
Prior to the starting of the train
Lady Jeune, the philanthropist, and
wife of Judge Jeune, who comes of
the Seaforth family of Stewart Mac
Kenzie, brought some roses and placed
them on the coffin.
Scotchmen are indignant at the In
congruity of the whole affair and the
refusal of the War Office to be con-
nected with the funeral.

to the hospital and the bullet, which
had lodged in a bone near the right
eye, was extracted. His life was found
to be in no danger.
M. Salary said that he had just had
play rejected by the management of
the Theatre Francois, after having been
given to understand that it would be
accepted, and disheartened, he resolved
to end his life in the theater which
caused his disappointment

Lowell, Mass. March 29.-With a
long mill holiday ahead. to-day was a
busy one for union labor in this city.
Interest centered in the textile coun-
Gil, which for hours was in session at
labor headquarters working out plans
for controlling the army of textile OPP
eratives enlisted under it's banner for
a 10 per cent. increase of wages.
Labor men declare that the shut
down has done more to strengthen the
union cause than any other incident.
Yesterday and to-day hundreds of new
members were admitted to the unions.
urged on probably by the prospect of
strike benefits. In this connection Pres
ident Conroy and members of the tex
tile council. who are at the head Of
local unions. say that all operatives
who have joined in the issue will be
cared for.
While the shutdown went into eff
feet yesterday noon there will be many
people at work tomorrow, these be-
mig chiefly the finishing room hands,
the machinists. section hands and
overseers for the mill agents intend
to put the property in their charge
in good condition for a long period
of idleness, to make necessary repairs
and TO prepare finished product for
shipment.
After the textile council meeting
President Conroy stated that plans
were perfected for long seige" In
dicating that he believed the shut
down would not be one of a few weeks.
To-day there was considerable talk
among the operatives that Friday an
offer of per cent. increase was
offered as a compromise, but one of
the mill agents when asked in regard
to this, said 1t was not so, and further
added that there was no possibility of
the increase.
There was some talk to-day of an
attempt TO start a sympathetic strike
at the Lawrence Hosiery tomorrow
morning. The textile council took steps
to stop 1t, because the knitters there
have been granted permission to re-
main neutral in this strike. 1t is not
thought likely that work will be In
terrupted. This hosiery is said to en-
ploy over 5000 hands, and is one of
the largest in the country. Efforts are
being made to unionize the Greeks in
one body and the Poles in another

REFERENCE TO THE HAGUE
OF the Venezuelan Claims to Occupy

Washington, March 29-Minister
Bowen hopes to begin work during
