sence from the Quill Club dinner

THE POPE'S VIEW
Of the Situation Between
France and the
Vatican.

Rome, July 1S.-From the highest
source it is learned that the vatican s
view Of the situation between the holy
see and France is as follows: The
pope regards the dissolution of the
concordat by France as absolutely
certain. The pretext is that the holy
bet to Rome called on Bishop Geay of
Laval, to resign. He refused and was
summoned to Rome to answer the
grayest charges. The bishop appeal
ed to the French government, which
claimed that the holy see was infring-
ing the copcordat, but as the bishop
had not been punished Foreign Minis
ter Delcasse acknowledged that the
vatican was within its rights How
ever while in the concordat itself
there is nothing to show that the
vatican was not within its rights
Premier Combes differs with his col
leagues and bases his contention on
the so-caIled organic articles, which
constitute an enlargement, or explana-
ton OF the concordat, made by the
French government and which was
never acknowledged by the holy see
The pontiff is firmly decided to pro-
ceed with the case of the bishop, who
If he is not In Rome on. the twenty
eighth instant will be suspended. The
bishop was invited by Pope Leo XIII
to resign and refused to do so, show

that any other prelates are concerned

Denly July is. Medical Examiner
George L. Beardsley Of this place has
filed complete report on the drown
ing of James Callahan, who was
drowned at Lake Housahonio last
Thursday while rowing with five COM
panions. In the report which he has
sent to Coroner Mix he scores the re-
prehensible actions Of the men in leav-
ing their companion to drown. In his
report he says: 81 am satisfied that
Callahan came to his death by the re-
prehensible carelessness OF his compan-
ions. If five men, all good swimmers,
are unable to save one man In close
proNlmity to the shore. then how are
we to account for the numerous res
cues which take place in the surf
where a drowning is saved by d
single person. The affair from start
to finish Is an Instance OF recklessness,
culpable In the extreme. and efforts to
rescue Callahan do not impress me as

New York, July 18.-Of the half
score injured in the tornado which de-

are now expected to recover except
two. They are Mrs Anna Washburn,
whose mother, Mrs Mary Hibbs, Of
Philadelphia was crusheN to death

and Charles Dodge, who was caught
under the branches of falling tree.
A search of the neighborhood-
shows that the storm created great
havoc during the few minutes which
it ragged. IN the tree tops for more
than mile around clothing of oil de-
scriptions was found.
IA CARPET which had been on the
floor Of house which was destroyed
was ripped up and carried more than

curious effects noted in western tor
nadoes were observable.

NOT STRIKING.
The BrickIayers Union is
Not in Favor Of Sympa-
thetic Strike.

The Bricklayers' and Masons' union
will meet tomorrow evening to trans
act regular routine business. At the
last meeting upon solicitation of
Agent Smith of the Carpenters union,
committee OF seven was appointed
to size up the strike situation. The
committee was not given power to as
sist the striking carpenters or to join
in any alliance, and il any building
trades alliance Is now in Waterbury,

belong to 1t and 1t is doubtful IL 1T ev-
er will, thus spoke member of the
Bricklayers' union to-day As far as
deciding to quit work the men have
not thought Of such a thing. One Of
the officials Of the union said to-day
that two years ago this month the
bricklayers picked up their tools In
sympathy with the Hod Carriers un-
ion and remained away from work
three weeks, and when they finally re-
turned to work they found some of
the buildings that were about half
completed, with roofs on and a great
deal Of the plumbing done. Masons
had to bump their heads against cell
ings and pipes trying to get around
This man says that the employers and
employees are working in harmony aud
they intend to do SO without and die
alton from other unions.
Another officer OF the Brick
layers union stated to-day
that there was no truth
in the report that the bricklayers were
going to strike In sympathy with the
carpenters. He said the matter had
been talked about by a few members
but the majority knew little about it.
and were not in favor Of striking.
The meeting tomorrow night is a reg
ular one and was not called to take
action in regard to figuring In SYM
pathetic strike. He said that 1t was
probable that the matter would not be
laid before the meeting. AS for the
contractors forcing an open shop upon
the bricklayers, the bricklayers them
selves would look after that matter
and take care Of that issue, when the
time comes.
