Alleged Offense of the Pope.

Berlin, May 16.-The Rome cores
pendent of the Koelnische Zeitung
learns that the Pope has offended the
German, Austrian and Russian emperors
by expressing too much sympathy to-
wards the Poles. Recently, he says, a
deputation of Poles from the three en-
pires, including three archbishops, two
princes, ten barons and ten counts, pre-
sented to the Pope an address complain
ing of the tyranny. The Pope in the
course of sympathetic reply said
"You are the most miserable and most
unhappy people in the world" This
reply was regarded in Berlin, st. Peters
burg and Vienna as a reflection on the
policy of the three emperors towards
the Poles. The German papers sharply
criticise the speech.

No MATTER who is nominated by the
democratic national convention for
President Mr.. w. R. Hearst will sup
port him. This announcement he has
authorized unequivocally. He ridicules
a story sent from Albany that he and
Mr.. Bryan and others were planning a
huge bolt and the formation of a new
party. He says he has been making his
fight for the nomination in the name Of
progressive democracy, but his fight had
been within party lines and will continue
to 'be 50. Whatever the result, he in.
tends personally and through his news
papers to support the regular ticket.
This is just as has been believed by Mr..
Hearst's friends from the first for they
know him to beademocrat and an active
one, who for years has given the republ-
cans much trouble. Mr.. Hearst would
never think at this late day of playing in
to the hands of his opponents by tolting
his party's convention.

an order prohibiting call persons or
officers" from arresting w. f. Wood
end on any civil process, until after this
petition has been dismissed, or u
months after Woodend has been formal
ly adjudged a bankrupt. The order

lieye that certain persons intend to have
the bankrupt arrested on civil process,
and that such proceedings will only
tend to delay the settlement of the ad-
Indication of the bankrupts estate. 1t

Cardinal SatolIi's Visit.

Baltimore, May 16.-Cardinal Glib
bons, when asked to explain the meaning
of the coming visit of Cardinal Satolli
to this country, said he did not know
anything in regard to the latter's inten-
tons, while in the United States, nor
was he aware that Cardinal Satolli's visit
will in any way effect church music in
this country. 1t has been asserted that
the visit of Cardinal Sat0lli to this coun-
try is for the purpose of arranging
matters touching on the Pope's decree
calling for the re-establishment of the
Gregorian chants in all the Roman
Catholic Churches and the elimination
of women singers from the choirs. 1t
can be positively asserted on reliable
authority that at the last meeting of the
Catholic Archbishops in Washington it
was agreed to introduce as soon as posi-
BILE, according to circumstances, the
orders of the Pontih, regarding the
Gregorian chants, and it is false to as
sert that petition was sentb by the arch
bishops to the Pope in order to obtain
permission to put into execution the
orders of the Holy See regarding said
music.

arrangements for his trip to
America. He will be accompanied by
his private secretary, Father Marucchi,

The Baptists.

The Virginia petition on tie negro
question and the home boards contrary
policy did not get into the Baptist
Convention in Nashville on Saturday,
1t was settled in committee, and the
Virginians claim that they won out.
The Virginians and the North Caro-
linians, who had a similar petition,
pooled their issues, and they went be-
fore the committee with vigor. Pro-
lessor Mitchell, DR.. Pitt, DR.. Hawthorne
and DR.. Pickard, spoke for the Virginia
petition, and they made great speeches,
The committee was against them in the
start, but finally got on compromising
ground. Their report was compromise
measure. The report approves the
action OF the home board with the
proviso that hereafter the board shall
recognize negro Baptist organizations
other than the national convention
where such organizations exist.
The report then recommends the APP
pointnent of commission of twelve
wise men to counsel with the home
board as to the enlargement of the work
among negroes. 1t authorizes the board
to continue its work among negroes as
began, but not to enlarge it without the
consent of the commission. In brief,
the committee accepts the Virginia
plan, but does not without stopping
short off the work already commenced
in good faith by the oard. The Vir-
ginians and North Carolinians agreed to
accept this compromise without discus
sion, and the looked-for wrangle in
the convention did not materialize.

New York stock Market.

New York, May l6, IL a. m.-The
stock market this morning was under
the influence of the reactionary temper
of traders. The bank statement is under
critical discussion and the prospect OF
further heavy shipments of gold con-

Anthracite coal stocks were also weak
on fear of government attack. A fair
degree of steadiness was shown by st.
Paul, Union Pacific and Baltimore and
Ohio. Steel preferred exhibited strength
at an advance of stout fraction. Cop
per was slightly heavy. Sugar showed
heaviness. After the first hour the mar
ket developed more irregularity but it
