German General Elected.

Rome, Sept. 8.--Rev. Father Francis
Wernz. rector of the Gregorian Uniyer-
sity, the dark horse candidate supported
by the German delegates to the Congre-
CATION of the Society OF Jesuits, was
today elected general of the Jesuit Order
to succeed the late Father Martin. The
election of Father WerDz lie regarded as a
great victory for Kaiser William. Father
Weruz's election was forced by the Ger
man delegates at yesterdays conference,
and only one ballot was required, the
German priest receiving AZ out of total
of 81 votes Father Rudolph Mayer, OF
St. Louis, was defeated by the refusal
of the German delegates to supper. him.
Compromise candidates were offered by
the Italians and Spanisrds to break the
apparent deadlock. Father Vigo was
the man put forward by the Spaniards
aud Father DE la Motto by the Italians.
Both men were rejected by the Germans,
who urged political reasons 10 support
of Father Wernz The Kaiser, they said,
wanted q German general, and they
pointed out that the friendship of the
German ruler would be greatly beneficial
to the order in Germany. The new
"Black Pope" was born in Rotterwell,
10 the south part of Germany, in 1912.
He had been rector of the Gregorisn
University since 1904. He has made
his home 10 Rome since 1886. Father
Wernz is an eloquent public speaker,
and has great reputation as a scholar.
He is conseiyaie intrsnsigeante. His
election as general came as great sur
prise.

ought to quit running for president, be-
cause no man ia fit to be a candidate for

Therefore, propose that Mr.. Bryan

democratic Literary Bureau.

Washington, d. c., Sept. S.-The
following was issued today by Robert
Miller, editor OF the literary bureau of
the democratic national committee: "The
report published this morning that the
literary bureau of the national democratic
committee has gone out of business is
a mistake We are supplying democrat
ic newspapers with democratic matter
and they are publishing it. The report
that the bureau had been closed, must
have originated In the fact that some OF
the Office force that were helping get up
the campaign book for the congressional
committee were dispensed with, in con-
sequence of the completion of that work,
which is now in the hands of the printer.
The bureau is in no way advocating or
depressing the political fortunes of any
prospective candidate for the presidency
or any other political Office. The bureau
confines its work to advancing demo-
cratic doctrines about which there Is 90
dispute and in exposing republican falla-
cies to the best of his ability"

SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT. 8. 1906.

AN ATTEMPT is being made in Wash
ingtou to get up crusade against church
bells. That the ringing of such bells Is
a nuisance is the burden of a complaint
recently made to the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia. The COM
pIainant says be counted one morning
forty-two strokes of church bell in one
continuous ring, and on last sunday the
bell rang continuously for nearly 100
strokes. He calls attention TO the iacl
that there are churches of sill den0mlna'
lions throughout the city that have no
bells and get along fairly well. 1t has
been a mooted question for some time
whether in this day the ringing of bells
of any description is really necessary.
Manv, however, think Sunday would be
despOiled of one of its traditional &C
COMMITMENTS should the bells remain
mute on that day. A prominent and
esteemed citizen OF Alexandra, long
since gathered to the fathers, made
lifelong protest against this medieval
practice, and occasionally appeared 10
print in his remOnstrances. he, how
ever, proved to be fighting the air, a.
the custom was in no manner diminished
during bis day nor has il up to this time
Previous to the year 1871, when hTe de
stroyed the market building in this city,
il was supposed that there could not be n
meeting of Council until the janitor as
cended into the steeple and rang the
council bell for half an hour. This would
soand as strange now as the ringing OF
the curtew bell. Ia the olden time ferry
boats running between this city and
Washington, while lying at their docks
at each end of the route, sounded their
whistles about every five minutes ana
rang their bells an equal length OF time
Previous to leaving their slips the bells
were tolled for five minutes. These Gus
toms have long since been abandoned ana
the world still moves on, and with more
animation than at any time since the
creation. 1t is argued by some that the
spirit and letter of the commandment lof-
bidding work on Sunday is violated when
sections are compelled to dof their coats
and swing to bell rope for ten or fifteen
minutes morning and night in order to
notify people to come to church. This
work is especially Onerous during the
prevalence of hot waves. These obJec-
tors say that the bell in this day is akin
to the muezzin on the top of Mahometan
mosques summoDing the faithful To

A PERPLEXING problem cOnironts the
Is,bmian Canal Commission as the re-
suit of an apparent effort on the part oil
the steel trust TO practice extortion, and
il may be necessary to appeal to the
President before final decision IS reach
ed. II appears that the commission adver-
tised for five thousand tons of steel rails
for use on the isthmus, and, as stated IN
Thursday's Gazette, the United states
Steel Products Export Company, OF New
York, subsidiary of the steel trust, was
the only bidder. The price asked for
the rails is 1924 a ton {. o. b., Balti-
more, or $3.50 laid down in Colon.
These prices ere regarded as extortion-
ate and it is recalled that when Con-
gress passed the Adrich resolution pro-
yjding that materials for the canal should
be purchased In the United States it ex-
pressly stipulated unless an attempt al
extortion was made by American bidders
Ii remains, therefore, for the commission
finally to determine if its impression that
lhis price is extOrtionate is accurate, and
if so it may be necessary to go into the
foreign market, where the same rails
made by the same trust could be pur-
chased at materially lower figure. A
careful investigation of all the circum-
stances should be made before any award
is made, and, as indicated, it may be
necessary to submit the facts TO Secre-
tary TAFT and to the President before a
decision is reached. IL they do not see
that extortionate rates have been changed
the government for these rails they are
blind

Head-On Collision.

Whiting, W. Va, Sept. S-Two pas
seuger trains on the Ohio river division
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad met
in head-on collision at Woodlawn, to-
day. Many passengers are reported in
jured. A special train carrying ply
sicians is on it's way to the wreck.
A later dispatch says that two people were
killed In the accident. Had 1t not oeen that
the trains were going slowly at the time, a
frlghtful wreck would undoubtedly have oc-
Cured, for the bridge on which the trains
collided is 30 feet nigh. As il was both trains
stayed on the bridge. Heavy fog was res pom
sihla for the collision
