bishop of Posen, who died November "A,
lay in state in the Cathedral here, the
ancient burial place of the Polish kings
and throughout the night II procession of
people passed through the building. The
funeral of the archbishop is being made
the occasion for a demonstration on the
part of the Polish nationalists and an
outbreak of nationalist passion has oe-
CURED over the Prussian sem-official
statement that Monsgnor Stablewslis
successor will not be a Pole.
The Poles are intensely excited over
the expectation that the Prussan govern
ment will veto the nomination of any
prelate except a German.
A letter written by the late archbishop
to President Whiting of the National Bank
of Berlin, formerly mayor of Posen, was
published today. In it the archbishop,
asking for Herr Writings advice. said
that for the past fifteen years he had
called attention to the serious conse-
uuences of Systematically embittering the
population in their tenderest religious
feeling. No agitator, he said, would be
able to incite the children. If feeling
of bitterness did not exist among the
parents the children's movement against
religious instruction in the German Ian
guage would not last an hour. The
mothers, the archbishop said point to
the children of the cabinet ministers, and
even of the Emperor, who learn religion
in their mother tongue, although they
are able to speak English and French The
archbishop's letter concluded with saying
that If the government was not willing
no reintroduce religious instruction in the
mother tongue such instruction ought to
be left in the Polish schools to the ehurch.

ODD CASE OF COMBUSTION.
Rose Bushes Shipped in Wet Moss Al
most Burned Up.

A peculiar case of spontaneous combus-
ton. or something like it, is described by
a writer In Casters Magazine.
On February IT,. 1906. two large refrlg-
orator cars of young rosebushes were re-
ceived at Hannibal, Mo-, from a nursery
in California. They were shipped In wood
en- cases containing numerous anger holes
for ventilation and were carefully packed
with wet sphagnum, or California swamp
moss, to prevent chatting and to support
their vitality.
No ice was put in the cooling tanks,
and the covers of these, as well as all
other openings in the cars, were closed
as tightly as possible. The outside tenn
perature was 60 degrees Fahrenheit at the
start and Is degrees at the end of the
trip.
Upon arrival steam was issuing from
every crevice of the cars Upon remoV-
ing the tank covers 1t rushed out in large
volume. The doors We're opened and ice
was put in the tanks; the free circulation
OF cold air soon cooled the contents of
the cars.
In unloading il was discovered that
some Of the upper layers OF boxes were
badly damaged by heat. which naturally
was most intense near the top oil the cars.
No signs of actual combustion were found.
but this would probably have occurred In

VISIT FRUITHURsT.
Controversy Is On over Consolidation
of the Two Depots.

Fruithurst, November 29.-(Special)
Governor-elect Conner and Colonel San
ders, railroad commissioners, visited this
place yesterday for the purpose of in
vestigating the matter OF combining the
freight and passenger depots This be-
ing a small place the railroad company
does not consider it profitable to keep
two agents and the two depots being one
half mile apart 1t is impossible for one
agent to properly attend both depots,
much to the inconvenience of the vast
majority of people who are in favor of
the depots being combined at the freight
depot
There is a division of sentiment on the
plan to consolidate, but the majority
seem to be in favor combining the two
posts at the freight depot.

tion will contain mention of the church
and state situation in France. NO car

RUSSIAN CONTRACT SCANDAL.
Minister of Interior Resigns, But Will
Appear Before Commission.

st. Petersburg, November 29.-Promrt
steps have been taken by Fremie"
Stolypin to deal with The situation
arising from the famine r-lie, contract
scandal, in which man named Lidvsl,
and M. Guerko as minister of RE
interior, are involved. The premier
has called a special meeting of the
council of ministers for tomorrow 10
discuss the affair.
NJ Guerko has resigned When he
presented his resignation the premier
told him he should not quit Office, but
for his own sake at least lie must face
the court. The premier is expected tn
appeal to an inter-ministeria' commits
sion composed of assistant ministers,
to investigate the case. He will then
bring it without loss of time before
the first department of tie senate in
public session.
Orders have been given to at once
collect evidence and submit 10 cross
examination all persons connected with
the affair. The unhesita.ing fashion
in which the premier is handling this
affair will, it is believed. strengthen
the confidence in and aid the cabinet
instead of injuring it at the approach
ing elections.
