THE IMMAcuLATE CONCEPTION
Festivities in Honor of the sunite~
 Held in Rome.

Held in Rome.
 Rome, Nov. 14:-The festivities ID honov of the jubilee of the immaeuiate conception, may be said to have begun today with the holding Of prilnans consigtorY which was especially inter estins as the Pope lately had been in- disposed and many persons wished to be assured of his recovery. All the cardinals living in Rome numbering about twenty-five. gathered In the nan of the consistory at the Vatican nait an hour before the ceremony taking their places in three groups--cardinala. bishops. cardinal priests and caruinas deacons, making, one of those impos- ing pictures only to be seen ats the the apostolic palace
 sTha United States was represented a& inc consistory by Monsignor Kennedy. direotor of the American College here. and Manager Seton. titular archbishop of Heiiopolis of Jersey City, N. J. Monsignor Kennedy at the private cons sistory received the pallium for Arcn- bishop Glennon of St. Louis.
 In the second consistory the Pope delivered an alIocution. recalling the oriRii of the concordat of Pope Plus TX to introduce 1t to Napoleon ano specially referring to the provisions made for the appointment of bishops inc budget of the ministry of public worship, which was regulated by what was practically a contrast and finally the free exercise of Catholic worship He added that the so-called organic articles" added in 1902 by Na- poleon had never been recognized by the Holy See, either as law or as heinz part of the concordat. The pom ttf depIored the fact that the present government of the French republic had urder various pretexts charged the Holy See with not having observed the concordat. adding that the church hao never in the case of any country in- frtnged an agreement made. The Pope concluded with saying that the French government had broken the fundamen- tai conditions of the concordat pro ceedtnk which was not only in viola" tion of the concordat but which was also opposed to divine and natural law. The Pope complained of the impossl- bility; due to the existing state of af- fairs. of appointing bishops to the va cant aces in France but expressed the hone that an understanding would be reached.
 The majority of the cardinals present con sidered the alllsion rather mild and remarked that the Pope omitted the part upon which he had previously oritteiaed several of the cardinals in which was to have appealed to the people of France and to have urged to be loyal to the church and use their rights as citizens to prevent the gov ernment from prosecuting religion

For Nearly 24 Hours the Town Was
 Gut on.


 Albany. N r., Nov. 14.-Albany has never had a worse Generalization of wire communication than that which has isolated 1t today as a result of last nights storm. For nearly twenty four hours neither by telegraph nor telephone was communication possible with any point further than Cohoes, eight miles outside this city.
 wet snow that fell today broke down every telephone and telegraph wire in this city and vicinity. At 10 o'clock ast night more than half the city was in darkness from interrupted light cir cults. The fire alarm service was so crippled that special precautions were taken by the police to give warning in case of fire. The snow was not over four inches deep, but so heavy that trolley traffic was greatly hampered and trains entering the city averaged an hour late. It is the worst blockade the city has ever experienced since the storm of 1888.
