WITH POPE FOR KING
William Said to Be Considering an
Effort to Reconcile the Quirinal
and Vatican.

BERLIN, June 10.-It is reported that
the German Emperor, fresh from his
Mediterranean tour, has taken in hand
the formidable task of reconciling the
Quirinal and the Vatican.
Two leading Roman Catholic dignita-
ries-Cardinal Archbishop Kopp of Bres-
lau. and Cardinal Archbishop Fischer, CT
Cologne-have been suddenly summoned
by kilograms to Metz, where the En-
peror is now staying.
Although Count Won Buelow saw the
Emperor a few days ago at Karlsruhe
he was also summoned to Metz. where
he has arrived simultaneously with the
two cardinal archbishops
Unusual Importance is attributed to
the meeting, and a sensa tional article
in the Cologne Gazette declares that the
Vatican has come to the conclusion that
perpetual enmity against the kingdom
of Italy is a criminal and suicidal policy.

OSSINING, June u--Albert T. Pat
rick is without doubt the most remark
able criminal that ever occupied cell
| in the Sing Sing death house.
At breakfast today ne learned for tie
first time of the adverse decision of the
court Of appeals There wasn't IS much
as the flicker of an eyelid. the trembling
OF finger, to indicate emotion at the
news.
On the contrary the man, whose lie
now truly hangs by thread, finished
what was on the plate before him. and
In cool, steady voice said that he
was prepared for just such a contiu-
gency and that there need not be the
least delay in his case, as he had per-
sonally prepared all Of the documents
Went About Usual Work.
Then he laughed merrily. shook hands
with Warden Johnson, who brought
him the news. and applied himself TO
his usual morning task of reading and
writing, as though nothing out of the
ordinary had occurred
Warden Johnson purposely kept Pa
trick In Ignorance of the decision of the
Court of Appeals until this morning,
because he felt that the man had the
greatest confidence in victory, and
didn't want him to lose any sleep over
his reverse He was therefore greatly
surprised at the calmness With which
the man received the tidings.
II ans prepared for anything, said
Patrick coolly, and 1 think 1 will soon
win the victory I have been working
for l. do not regard this decision as
hnat by any means. I intend to have
reargument of the case and will ap-
ply to-the appellate division and proba-
ply also 10 the court or appeals for a

Is adamant. SO far any sentiment is
concerned He works incesssantIy on
his own case. For months he has been
delving deep into legal and medical au-
thorfties. making copious notes and in
cooperating them in his briefs
The man is absolutely prepared for
any move, for any reverse and doesn {
ask for the least delay. He wants to
use up the remaining chances that he
has just as fast as he can. for he feels
certain that he will win in the end

NELSON OUTW[|GHED
By KID SULLIVAN
Manager Nolan offered to
Wager on 1t.

So muc;. adverse criticism has been
heeped ON Battling Nelson since his ar
rival in the East. that the following
statement made by William Nolan, his
manager, Is Of timely interest:
Battling Nelson and Kid Sullivan put
up- the kind Of battle in Balti-
more that was worth any price
to see. II certainI was the fast
est six rounds seen In that section for
many days. 1t was a hurricane affair
from the tap OF the gong of the first
round TO the finish, the boys never rest
ing minute or even q second of the
whole eighteen minutes fighting time.
and the crowd was worked up to a
fe"erish pitch during the battle.
A Born Fighter.
OF course. their sympathies were
with their little favorfte, Kid Sullivan,
who made wonderful showing against
that great fighting machine, Battling
Nelson. The latter is not of the spec
tacular class Of Gexerse he is q born
fighter, who can Sc, pace that will
take the Eeart out Of the strongest
men of hi, class
For ths first few rounds he. seems
to take things easy. This is mis- Gus
! tom on account of engaging IN the
twenty-round battles, where general
i
this way many of the Eastern boxers
have an advantage over him for the
first two or three rounds, but the
ground he loses he generally makes
rounds he works like a cyclone, and
the contestant in front Of him i'm
agfnes that he has struck a threshing
machine as his blows come thick and
fast. His great forte IS his ability to
take punishment without finching.
| and. above all, his wonderful recuper-
atfve powers. as at the end Of the
bout he is almost as fresh as when
he started, as was shown in both Of
his battles in the East with AtteE and
Sullivan
Likes a Route.
rs it any wonder that he has beaten
the best men in the business when they
go the route, twenty rounds? Many of
these same boys that probably could
make good showing against Nelson
for the short route OF six rounds would
not have a ghost of a show over q long
er route-the same chance that a sprint
er would have with stake horse over
the Derby route. There is one thing GER
tain: When Battling Nelson is one OF
the contestants at a show you get your
| moneys worth. as he Is action from
start TO finish.
, There was so much discussion over
| the weight OF Nelson and Sullivan that
l, as manager of the Dane offered to
bet Al Herford from 500 to $500 that
| Nelson would weigh less than Sullivan
at the ringside. Herford refused to take

| Joe Cans at 13S pounds ringside after
/ his battle with Jimmy Britt was over
and would wager $4,000 as a side bet

MARQUETTE. Mich, June 10.-With-
in the last month as many as fifty Mar
Quette people have made the pilgrim
age TO Peshtigo, Wis, for the purpose of
receiving treatment at the hands Of the
Rev. Father p S. Dagnault, a Catholic
priest. who is sa.t, to possess rernari X
able healing powers. The pilgrims have
not consisted of any one class of peo-
pie, but the lame and afflicted OF nearly
every strata of society are numbered
among those who have sought relief,
and the exodus at the present time
from this city is estimated to be at the
rate OF twenty-five per week.
Charles J. Johnson, a landscape gar
dener, who has just returned from
Peshtigo. is one of numerous Mar
quette people who have been cured by
the Catholic Clergyman. Johnson saws
that he had been bedridden with rheu-

feet upon the floor or even to assist in
