MAKE'A SELECTION

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 1.-The official
announcement that the Office for a
coadjutor of the diocese of Cincinnati
has been created by the Roman Catho-
lie propaganda, has been received at
the local archepiscOpal residence, and
it is very likely that Cincinnati will
have a coadjutor bishop before next
Easter. IN early meeting viii be called
for all irremoyable rectors and coun-
cilors of the archdiocese. and these viii
name their candidates for office.
After the meeting of priests the bish-
ops of the province win be called to
meet at the archepiscOpal residence and
make their recommendations.
Finally the archbishops of the United
States will prepare a list and then the
three lists win be submitted to the
propaganda at Rome for consideration.
The college of the propaganda will
make it's recommendation to the pope,
who announces the appointment per
sonally. It is believed that the choice
of the irremovable rectors and consult
ors are bishops H. Moeller of Columbus,
T. S. Byrne of Nashville and c. P.
Macs of Covington- The name of Bish-
op T. Conaty. president of the Catholic
university at Washington, D. c., has

This is the second time Mrs. Kiehl,
the 1S-year-old country girl, has been

an investigation into the death Of the

before his brother Adam under almost
similar circumstances. The result came

Hay Not Satisfied With Castro's Note
of Acceptance.

~ 49, SNeeANN@
Washington, Jan. 1.-The rejoinders
of the European foreign offices to Pres
ident Castro's reply to their arbitration
proposal have not reached Washing
ton. This, however. occasions no sur
prise as the holidays are much more
closely observed in European capitals
than in Washington. Following the
rule which it has adopted in the treat
ment OF correspondence passing be-
tween Venezuela and the allies the
state department still declines to make
public any information respecting the
details of President CastrO's reply. but
inquiry confirms the Associated Press
report from Rome to the effect that
Castro did attach a condition to the
acceptance of the arbitration proposal,
and that condition was not endorsed
by the Washington government. How
ever, il is pointed out that il has not
been regarded as necessary at the
state department. to either approve or
disappFcvoE amy CT the details Of the
propositions now in effect between the
principals. AS to conditions attached
to the acceptance It can be stated that
it is no. of great consequence, nor is il
likely to involve the loss of the arbi-
tratiOn project. for it is understood to
relate rather to the means of getting
the issue to arbitration than to any
substantial principle involved.

bag she was carrying. and then, seizing
Miss Matthews by the fingers, he drew
his knife across her knuckles, cutting
a deep cash. The young woman
shrieked with fright and pain, and her
aSSailant, who, waiting to make an
other effort to sever her hand, bran
dished his knife in the face of those
who sprang TO the rescue, and dashed
west along Houston street. After a
long chase he was captured, but did not
surrender until beaten into subsection
by a policeman.
The general impression was that an
attempt had been made to murder the
girl, and had it not been for the police
man into whose hands Goodman fell, he
would have Jared badly The officer had
to fight off the pursuers and at the
same time prevent his prisoner from
stabbing him with the knife which had
been used on Miss Matthews hands,
With much difficulty Goodman was
taken to the station house. where he
said he intended 10 cut off the girls

KING LEOPOLD ASKS
BLIND CONFIDENCE

Brussels. Jan. Upon the occasion
today of receiving the congratulations
of parliament. the diplomatic corps
and Belgian officials. King Leopold
made curious response to the pres
ident of the chamber His majesty al
luded to the initiative he himself had
taken upon many occasions, notably in
China. and asked the chamber to con-
tinue to show the same blind conf
dence in him that il had always done.
I shall not abuse it, King Leopold
continued, 'and, thanks to the close
union between the king and the legis-
iative chambers, we shall be able to
achieve things which cannot be ex-
planned at this moment, but Of which
the people wiz understand the bearing
only by the results"
His majesty's remarks created con-
siderable comment and are supposed
to point to some new development Of
Belgian interests in China, and pos
sibiy in the Congo Free State

SHORTAGE OF FUEL
ASERI0US MATTER

Baltimore, Jan. 1.-The effect of the
coal famine on the 100000 persons IN
Maryland, the District Of Columbia.
Virginia and West Virginia is told in
dispatches to the Herald. A few towns
are supplied with anthracite. and in
many there is a shortage OF all kinds
Of fuel. IN the smaller towns the res
dents substitute wood for coal. but in
the larger places this has not been
possible. In some entire counties
nothing but wood is used At some
points near the coal fields. such as
Roanoke. coal is higher than at points
more distant from the mines. In West
Virginia. owing 10 the wide distribu-
ton OF coal producing areas. there is
not likely to be much distress. Al
though the industries are suffering,
washington and Baltimore are getting
along with soft coal at advanced prices.
The commerce of both Baltimore and
Norfolk is suffering because Of the
shortage.

I'VE shall probably be in consulta-

maker.
''I don't know why the officers of the
company have been so eager to conceal
the fact that we were on here to talk
of an amieable settlement of the strike.
Yet it is an undeniable fact that at
the Union Pacific headquarters it does
not seem to be officially known that we
are here. However, we -on't care. We
are here to settle the strike, if pos
sible,'
Are there any prospects for a
speedy adjustment of the difficulties? p
was asked.
1T ali depends upon the wisdom Of
officers of the company to whom the
terms will be referred. Eventually the
strikers will win out, but it may not
be on this trip"

MESSAGE FROM

CONGRATULATIONS IN ORDER
POSTAL COMPANY OFFICIALS
ARE DELIGHTED.

q AN FRANCISCO. Jan. 1.-The pa
thence Of the watchers Of the Pos
tai Telegraph company was re-
warded at 11:O1 o'clock tonight when
the instrument at the San Francisco
end of the Pacific cable indicated that
connections with Honolulu had at last
been made, and that a message was
coming through.
The first words that the ticker de-
noted on the tape were .sXou are re-
versed," meaning that the Honolulu
operator was getting the san Francisco
signals backwards. The local difficulty
was quickly adjusted by a readjust-
ment of the batteries here and then
came the first formal communication
from Uncle Sans new possessions
across the Pacific cable.
The First Message.
1t was hitting that such message
should re from the chief of the fair
Pacific isles to the head os she United
States and so the ticker read a mes
sage Of CongratulatiOn and good viii
from Governor Dole To President
Roosevelt Then came a cablegram
from the cable officials at Honolulu to
Clarence Mackay, president of the
Commercial Pacific Cable company.
Company messages followed rapidly,
greetings being exchanged and mes
sages OF good will and prosperity pass
ing rapidly TO and fro. The local op-
orator said that the cable worked like
an Old-timer, and surprise was ex-
pressed at the speed and accuracy. The
Postal company officials are delighted
at the splendid showing of the first
hours working, and accept it as an
augury Of a prosperous future.
