ARCHBISHOP DIES.
Most Rev. ". Fl. Elder of Gin
c;nnati Passes Away in
His 06th Year.
PRAYED AS DEATH CAME.
He Was the Oldest Roman Catholic
Prelate in the United
States.
ARCHBISHOP FOR So YEARS.

Cincinnati. O., Nov. 1.-Most Rev
William Henry Elder, archbishop of Gin
cinnati, in his Seth year, died at 1850
days from a severe case of grippe COM
plicated with extreme weakness.
The scene at the bedside, when it was
apparent the end was near, was most af
fecting. The archbishop was conscious
and his last words was this prayer in a
feeble voice.
Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for
us sinners now at the hours of our
death-Amen."
He then kissed a crucifx and with
peaceful smile on his face, breathed his
last.
Archbishop Elder was not only the old
est prelate i'll years, but also in tenure of
office in this country. He had presided
over this archdiocese for quarter Of
century and previously was almost as
long bishop of Natchez Miss.
Archbishop Elder was born in Balti-
more March %, 1919 He was educated
at Mount st. Mary's seminary in EN-
mitsburg and in Rome, where he dis
tinguished himself as Il scholar and theo-
Logan. He was ordained in 1916, and
for eleven years served as professor of
theology in Mount st. Mary's. He be-
came bishop of Natchez, Miss, in 1857,
and succeeded Archbishop Purcell of Gin
cinnati in 1888. Archbishop Elders
golden jubilee in 1896 was a notab
event, prelates from at home and abroad
being present. The archbishop probably
stood higher in the American hierarchy
than anyone except Cardinal Gibbons.
The succeeding archbishop of Cincin-
matt is Most Rev. Henry Moeller, ID. D.,
coadjutor and titular archbishop of Areo-
polls.

FIRE ON THEIR OWN WARSHIPS.
The Russians Shoot at Each Other in the
North Sea

st. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-It is rumored
here that Russian torpedo boat disap-
peared from the Baltic fleet between
Libau and Vigo. 1t is also rumored that
the Russian cruiser Aurora fired on this
boat while joining the battleships to re-
port.
London, Oct. 31.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of The Express claims to
have high authority for stating that the
admiralty has now definitely ascertaineG
that the Baltic fleet fired on two of its
own torpedo beats, which were scouting
round the WarshipS. One escaped by
Skiliful maneuvering.
The other, believing when the firing be-
gan it was attacked by the japanese, re-
piled wounding several on board the
nearest battleship. The commander Of
the torpedo boat was the first to realize
the mistake, whereupon he signaled fran
tically. Three of the battleships con-
tinued firing, but their shots were aimed
at the British fremen. Admiral Rojest-
vensky held an inquiry into the matter
before the warships reached Cherbourg.
1t is recalled that Admiral ROJestveu-
sky declared there were no torpedo boats
accompanying him.
Watch on Russian Ships.
The Russian inquiry into the attack on
fishing boats in the North sea began at
NigO yesterday. The British inquiry will
be resumed at Hull November by Ad-
miral Sir Cyprian Bridge and Butler
Asphalt, barrister at law.
In the meantime British warships are
exercising surveillance over the several
squadrons of the Russian fleet.
Four battieships and the smaller yes
sells of Vice Admiral Rojestyensky's fleet
are in harbor at Vigo, while a squadron
of British cruisers is watching outside.
Ten Russian warshipS are at Tangier,
and the British Mediterranean feet has
been signaled only twenty miles distant
from Gibraltar. 1t is reported that the
Mediterranean squadron will guard the
Suez canal at Port Said.
-Four Russian torpedo boat destroyers
passed through the Straits of Gibraltar
yesterday eastward bound, Swallowed by
British torpedo boat
Naval reports show that British war
vessels have been so disposed as to keep
a sharp watch on all movements along
the proposed route of the Russian squad
ron, including the Canary islands, where
the Russians have made elaborate plans
for coaling from German steamers.

APPLETON WINS POINT.
joined from Constructing Sewer
Wherever It PleaseS.

Appleton Wis, Nov. 1.-[Special. i
The city of Appleton has won a point
against the Appleton Water Works com
pany. In the Winnebago county court,
an injunction was refused the water
works company restraining the city from
constructing the Mason street sewer,
which is to empty into the river just
above the intake pipe of the water works
plant. The court stated that it would be
impossible to make the injunction perma-
nent, as a city had a right to construct u
sewer anywhere it pleased. Work was
resumed on the sewer yesterday morning.
When the CITY constructs its own plant
the intake will be above the place where
the sewer empties into the river.
