Now they are learning that it Is

PONTIFF SURE OF
CONCORDAT'SDOOM
Plus Certain the French Pact
With the Vatican Will Be
Dissolved.

Rome, July 1S.-F'rom the highest
source it is learned that the Vatican
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
see, before the visit Of President Lou
bet to Rome,Sicalled on Bishop Geay,
Of Laval, to resign. He: refused and
was summoned to5@Rome to answer
the gravest. charges. The bishop APP
pealed to the French government,
which claimed that the holy see was
infringing the ssSconcordat, but as the
bishop had not been punished, For
eign Minister De1casse acknowledged
that the Vatican was within it's rights.
z However, while in the concordat
itself there is nothing to show that the
Vatican was not within it's rights, Pre-
mier Combes differs from his col
leagues and bases his contention on
the so-called 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-
coed with the case Of the bishop, who,
If he Is not in Rome on July %, will
be suspended. The bishop was in
vited by Pope Leo XIII to resign and
refused to do so, showing the case is
one Of long standing. At the Vatican
it is absolutely denied that any other
prelates are concerned in the question
at issue.

PANIC THREATENS !.
4: +: LAKE DISASTER
Frightened . Crowd on Chicago
Steamer Driven to Safety
ID With Fire Hose.

Chicago, July 18.-Lack of the usual
amount Of water ballast and an excep-
tionally large crowd Of passengers on
the steamer "Eastland combined to
cause much uneasiness on the return
trip from South Haven last night.
When the homeward voyage was be-
gun late in the afternoon, all the pas
sengers tried to find seats on the shady
side of the boat. This caused the
steamer to list heavily to starboard.
Members of the crew fastened to
close the lower portfolios, while many
women secured lifepreservers and
crowded to the steamers rail. This
caused the boat to settle farther to
the starboard and some of the pas
sengers became thoroly alarmed.
The crew was at once mustered by
the officers and an attempt was made
to reason with the frightened women
and men. The passengers refused to
obey orders, and finally, in order to
drive them away from the rail-. the
frehose was used. 1t proved effective
and the crowd went to the lower deck.
The ship held to it's course despite
the petitions Of the passengers to turn
around, and finally reached Chicago.
Many of the women insisted on wear
ing lifepreservers until the vessel
reached it's dock.

butchers, watched the shops and re-
ported every one that was open. The
threat had been made that any one
selling beef would be arrested under

butchers suspected was arrested. He
was discharged, because it could not

ST. PETERSBURG ANXIOUS; =
What Other Nations Will Say, Is the
Question.

st. Petersburg, July 1S.-The news
that the Russian volunteer steamships
Smolensk and, st. Petersburg, now
cruising in the Red sea. are, stopping
them for contraband Of war is causing
the liveliest interest in all circles.
Russia has evidently weighed the
question and believes herself to be
within her rights.
Members of the diplomatic corps
are keenly anxious to ascertain the
views their governments will take Of
the passage thru the Dardanelles of
these vessels Of the volunteer f1eer as
merchantmen and their subsequent
conversion into ships Of war. The gen
eral view in. diplomatic circles, even
where sentiment is not particularly
friendly to Russia, is that the passage
of the DardaneIles might be consider
ed a piece Of sharp practice on the
part Of Russia, it is an accomplished
fact and the powers will not now re-
gard it as a violation of the treaty
Of Paris, but will guard against it's
repetition. The diplomats think that
some Of the powers might insist that
henceforth all volunteer vessels shall
be considered at warships' within the
meaning Of the treaty.
The trainers Of the treaty Of Paris
in seeking to close the Black sea to
the ingress and egress Of Russian
Warsh1ps evidently did not expect the
present contingency. 1.-The st. Peters
burg and Smolensk did not pass the
| Dardanelles as warships, but as ner-
chantmen," said an official of the for
eign office to the correspondent of the
| Associated Press today. "Under the
treaty of Paris there is no question of
| the right of the ships to go out as
merchantmen, With their subsequent
conversion into warships Turkey has
nothing to do. The treaty is silent on
the subject"
| The general public satisfaction is
manifested over the decision of the
| admiralty to patrol the Red sea for
| the purpose Of intercepting contra
| band of war destined for Japan. AS
yet, however, the papers do not dis
cuss the subject.

HALLS HAVOC IN

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Mason City, Iowa, July 1S.-Farm-
ers coming to the city recount the
strange coincident that one year ago
to the day a hailstorm swept exactly
the same path of the recent one,
which did SO much damage. The
storm started UP near the Cerro Cor
do and Hancock county line, on the
west, and swept southeasterly to-
ward Burchinal. It covered an ir-
regular area about two miles in width,
jumping wide areas on it's way south
east, much after the manner Of a
tornado. The hail was immense and
some of the stones measured six inch
es in circumference, and in some
places piled up in drifts like snow.
Clear lake, which was in its path,
presented a beautiful sight as the
hail churned the waters. Crops were
pounded into the ground and not a
vestige was left. One poor fellow lost
his crop near Rockwell last year, and
whose landlord kindly RENTED the
rent and furnished the seed for this
years crop, was struck again this
year and the entire crop ruined. At
least fifty farmers suffered severely
from the storm.
