FALCONIA WILL
VISIT THE POPE

NEW YORK, June l--Archbishop Fal-
COMO, the apostolic delegate to Washing
ton, sailed for Italy today on the steam
ship Stella. The fact that Archbishop
Falconio departs from this country on the
eve OF the arrival Of Cardinal Satolh. who
is expected to reach New York within
day or two. has excited some comment.
but in church circles it is said 10 be with.
out significance. 1t is explained that the
apostolic delegate is paying visit TO
Rome in compliance with the regulations OF
the church, not having visited the vatican
since he was appainted apostolic deegate
to Canada five years ago. At the same
time. it Is an open secret that the two
eminent prelates who have held the same
post at Washington are not in entire ac.
cord in their views on several questions
affecting the church in America, and it Is
regarded as quite natural that Archbishop
Faconio should wish to be absent from
Washington during the visit of Cardinal
Satolli, who comes as a special representa-
tive OF the pope, IN order that his en-
inence may have a free hand in transact
ing such business as requires his attention

The last year of the old century was

history Of the Far East.
s., RUSSIA PACIFICATOR
Three nations decided that China
needed chastisement for the Boxer out
break. These We're Germany, France
and Russia. Three sided against them
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan. The latter saved the day, and
although it took a full year to accom-
plish it, Mr.. Hays policy of the open
door, with it's corollary-the integrity
of the Chinese Empire-scoreG another
and this time permanent, triumph. But
he could not prevent the three powers
from indulging in wanton bloodletting
under the name of punitive or pacifica-
tory expeditions. Russia chose the lat
ter word. She was enamored of the
term peace; she knew nothing about
the thing; hence her figurehead Gar
had been encouraged by his ministers
to call the Peace Conference of 1899.
Under the aegis of this word Pacif1ca-
ton, Russia choosing Manchuria as her
own special sphere. proceeded to raw
age that district with fire and sword
Tt was gruesome business-not without
100000 men to do it. After 1t was COM
pleted the world began again to hear
of brigands. During 1901 Russia found
them sufficient in number to necessirate
the gradual doubling of her soldiers in
the Far East, all to protect her rail-
way.
Somehow Uncle Sam and Brother

dent truth, and to convince them once
for all of her guilelessness. Russia sol
EMMY pledged her honor to remove ner
soldiers as soon as Manchuria was pac-
flied. Now, singularly enough the main
line of the Siberian road had been
planned to run to Vladivostok, whence
an innocent branch. should go to Por-
Arthur-for winter purposes. of course.
But without the formality of announce
ment, doubtless such were the exigen-
cies of pacification. the main line had
to be pushed from Hardin to Port Ar
thur, Vladivostok being forced to con-
tent itself with the siding
Hardly had Russia made her promise
to withdraw before a fresh rumor
reached the ears of the powers. China
was negotiating treaty to cede Man
churia to Russia and to grant to the
Chinese Bank-the financial paw
of the Bear planted in Peking-special
trade privileges. This was treading
upon Uncle Sans coattails. Secretary
Hay thereupon sent his famous repre-
sentation of February 1. 1902 intimat-
ing that the patience of the American
people had its limit. Once more Rus
STA disclaimed all intention to inter
fere with the commerce of the world,
and when her treaty with China was
published soon after in April it
renounced all exclusive trade privileges
and contained the solemn promise of
the Car to withdraw from Manchuria
in six months time-under conditions.

Weihaiwei. For three years this pol
icy of encroaching upon China had
gone forward unchecked except by the
mutually conflicting interests of the
1 European powers. But in the United
States one John Hay had been study
! ing the problem, and now he began to
! NEEDLE a bit in the matter. Uncle
; Sam having exhausted the possibilities
of the home market, found himself
| burdened with goods for sale. He must
have a purchaser. Why not sell to his
near neighbor and old friend, China =?
Whereat Mr.. Hay began to whisper

how quickly Germany and Russia tum-
bled over one another to assure the
United States that their leased harbors
in China were at the commercial dis
posal of the world. Now the Bear be-
gan to protest to the Eagle that his
policy in China was entirely pacific and
commercial, without a thought for any
thing but an outlet for his Siberian
railway. The idea of annexing Port
Arthur had never occurred to him. He
merely wished to utilize it. Those were
his words in 1898.

momentous changes in the world map
and in world respect for the American
giant. Mr.. Hay began quietly to plan
for an international agreement con-
corning China. He had set to himself
the task of disabusing Europe of the
notion of partitioning the Celestial
Kingdom. Read the periodical litera-
ture of those years 1859, and there is
but one prophecy: China must be
partitioned." Mr. Hay said no; but no
one heard him say it. Just then Lord
Charles Beresford visited America on
his return from the Orient and pub
licly advocated Anglo-Saxon co-opera-
ton in support of the open door. ia
pans publicists entered the lists on be-
half of Anglo-Japanese united effort

necessary to declare her Manchurian
policy due to the evil influence of Ger
man and japanese scheming. The
whole world was on the scenes apollo
giving or paying suit to Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Hay made the most of it all, and
in January. 1900, announced his tri-
umph-an international agreement to
maintain the open door in China. In
the mind of the future this will stand
out as one of the most pregnant
achievements of the close of the nine
teenth century. When one reflects
that less than six months later the
Boxer movement eliminated. Gods
hand becomes clear in forcing this
great international declaration just be-

The Fire Fiend.

Al abous half past one this (F'riday>
morning the warning peals OK the
OF the fire bell routed out the fire
companies who responded with their
usual promptness. Jas. Belknap's
barn formerly owed by Alex She'll
ito, was found to be in q mass OF
flames and the fire had reached such
a Roadway before the alarm was
given it was impossible TO save any
thing. About twelve head of horses
were in the barn, eleven of which
we're burned to death, One horse
broke out of the barn and though
badly burned about the maine and
tail will recover.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Some think it was caused by cigar
or cigarette stub thrown down by q
couple of cowboys who left the barn
with their horses late in the night.
Others think we have a '~fre-bug"

deadly work.
The barn was insured for SIS. 90,
and among the losers are DR.. Van

driver and G. J. Buell. who also lost
