Seven Neighbors 90.
Las Vegas. N. NJ. May T.-Three
members of the Tafoya family are
dead from poisoning and seven of
the neighbors who visited them are
i'll with the same symptoms. The
case is mysterious, although arsenic
has been found in the Tafoya water
barrel. as many of the symptoms diff
fer from arsenic poisoning. For some
time the barrel was used for mixing
chemicals, but the belief is growing
that It had nothing to do with the
poisoning.

the Russians have abandoned their

probably heavy ON both sides.
The Russian resistance at Nashan

Washington, May 27-Though they

Washington, May 27.-Though they
decline to discuss the matter>publicly
it is known that the Catholic church
leaders in Washington and elsewhere
are indulging in much speculation as
to the real purpose of Cardinal Sa-
tolli's visit to the United States. His
Eminence is scheduled to sail from
Naples today and it is understood
that upon his arrival in New York
he will proceed direct to this city.
Several stories are current as to the
object of the Cardinals visit. but all
of these are palpably more in the
nature of excuses than reasons. 1t
is not believed in well-informed cir
cles that he is coming solely TO visit
the st. Louis Exposition. nor is it re-
garded as likely that the purpose of
his trip is to oficiate at the Moloney
wedding, as announced in a recent
Philadelphia dispatch.
More reasonable is the story that
garo of Paris, which declared that
the real purpose of Satolli's visit
was to institute an inquiry into the
present condition of Roman Catholi-
cism in the United States and to in
vestigate serious difficulties said to
have arisen between the Apostolic
delegate Falconio and majority OF
the American Bish6 bps.
1.-The American Episcopate," accor-
ding to the writer IN the Figaro. "is
resolved to enjoy certain liberty and
finds it difficult to submit to the alb
solutism of Rome. which would i'm
pose regulations entirely at variance
with American customs. The turn
things are taking arouses certain
amount of anxiety at the Vatican,
where a recrudescence of American
ism is apprehended.' s
Chief among the regulations" re-
ferred to and regarded as entirely
at variance with American customs
is the Papal letter issued about q
year ago calling for the re-establish-.
ment of the Gregorian chant in all
OF the Roman Catholic churches and
the elimination of women singers
from the choirs. Subsequent to the
issuing OF this order Q meeting OF
the Archbishops Of the country was
held in this city to consider the mat
ter. At the close OF the session
Archbishop Messmer of Milwaukee
was quoted as having said that there
would be no changes in the music OF
American Catholic churches for the
present. for it was the opinion of all
Of the Archbishops that under the
present circumstances It Would be.

decree.
Cardinal Gibbons was aslFed TO-
write to the Vatican Of the facts
which led TO this decision: and TO-
ask for advice and Modification of

ops then decided 70 do nothing more

Vice Admiral Togo has now estab.
lished complete blockade of the
southern end of the Lao Tung PENN
sula. This completely envelopes Port
Arthur from seaward and probably
marks the opening of the final in
vestment of the town and its fortifi-
cations. The Japanese troops have
swept all the Russians from their de-
defences west of Talien Wan bay.

serious resistance In the territory to

by submarine boat, and three of

vostock by rail. A French priest just
arrived from Mukden says that TWEEN
ty thousand Russian troops are sta
toned there and that an army of
one hundred thousand men is at
Liao Yang, with heavy reinforce
ments arriving daily.
The Japanese estimate the strength
OF the Russians about Port Arthur
at twenty thousand men. The Japan

cape from Port Arthur, but little re-
lance is placed on their statements
They say that food is getting scarcer

thority for saying that the Japanese
believe they can starve out the Rus

says: "The fighting which eliminated

MINERS KILLED.

Victor, Colo, June 6. Three hun.
dred pounds of dynamite placed in u
mine by unknown assassins, under the
depot of the Florence and Cripple
Greek Railroad at Independence, was
exploded at two O'Clock this morning
while twenty five non Union miners
employed at the Findley mine were
standing upon the platform. Fifteen
of them were instantly killed and
eight or ten Others fatally injured. The
mine was discharged by electricity and
the man who discharged it was con-
cealed in the shaft house of the Delo-
mine mine. The deadly wire has
been traced to this building. The
depot was entirely demolished and the
train hurled into the air. The bodies
were blown in all directions and the
mangled remains are beyond recogni-
ton. Many of the wounded were torn
in horrible fashion.

HOW HE FOUND HIMSELF.

A well-dressed man, about twenty
three years old, walked into the West
Sixty eighth Street Station early the
other morning and asked Sergeant
Reahan to tell him who he was
Don't you know your name ?"
asked the Sergeant.
No, l don't know my name, nor
in what city l am, nor how l got
here -
The Sergeant had him searched
and in his pocket was found letter
addressed to Samuel j. Goodkin of 232
Popular Street, Philadelphia. which
was signed Kittie S. E. Resnik. Of
IA West Fifty second Street, Manhat-
tan.
A policeman was sent to Fifty
second Street address and found the
young woman, who went to the sta
tionhouse, accompanied by her uncle,
Maurice Resnik OF 1900 Eighth
Avenue. The young woman and her
uncle identified the stranger as Samuel
J. Goodkin of Philadelphia. She
said that he came to New York last
Saturday to pay her visit He
started to return to Philadelphia
little before midnight Monday.
Goodkin did not at first recognize
the young woman, but later when she
explained the circumstances of his
visit to her he recalled her and told
the Sergeant that what she said was
correct He then added that on leav-
ing her house Monday night he met
man, and together they went into a
saloon to get drink: that he drank
beer and his new friend drank whis.
key. and that he remembered nothing
that occurred since.
The young woman and her uncle
said that they would care for him,
and he left the station house with
them.

the new arrangements provided by
law, which go into operation on the
first of July. The number OF divi-
sions is to be reduced from eight to
six; rural agents are to be employed;
and the new schedule OF salaries will
take effect. The department will not
be able to do as much for the clerks
as it intended, since for the coming
fiscal year the amount appropriated
for the increase of salaries is but half
a million of dollars, while for the cur
rent year the amount was one million
and two hundred thousand dollars.
OF clerks employed in the postal SER
vice who receive more than 81, 400 a
year, of whom there are more than
900, only 50 can be promoted. OF
those who receive less than 81, 400
only about 80 percent of those who
have been recommended for promotion
will be made happy. And yet, the
Democrats, in their State platforms,
love to harp upon the extravaganza of
the Republicans in voting away the
public money.
