POPE TO DROP MERRY DEL VAL.
Win Choose Secretary OF State More Cen.
eiliatory Toward France.

6ptttW SaOte DeSVaSCS " n JUN.
PARIS, Aug. 29.-The Petite Rep1bhque
says that Cardinal Merry del Val, the Papal
Secretary Of State. will soon be replaced
by a prelate who will be more conciliatory
In his attitude toward France. The decline
Of Merry del Val In tho favor Of the Pope
10 due. the Petite RtpubRque says. to his
failure to submit to the Pope an authentic
report OF the meeting Of the French Bishops
on Aug. 10, at which they were said to have
approved unanimously Of the Pope's enoyo-
lical upon the French Church and State
separation law.
It wal on this incomplete report that the
Pope based his subsequent incorporating
procurement against the law, which he
has since modified on realizing that q mis-
take had been made. Hence the contem-
plated removal Of the Secretary Of State.

average of about $4,000 yearly.
Members of the committee have init

Charges Various DETERMINATIONS.
BOSTON, Jan. Discrimination on
the part of the New York. New Haven
and Hartford railroad is charged in q
petition fled with the railroad commits
sioners here BIZ the Enterprise Trans
portation company.
The petition recites that unnecessary
annoyance and delay has been caused
the public by the refusal Of the rail-
road company to accept and honor bag
gage checks issued by the transporta-
ton company and to allow the porters
OF the petitioning company to get bag
gage upon its arrival in Fall River and
that the railroad company has estab-
lished fare OF 50 for passengers be-
tween New York and Boston via the
Old Colony Steamboat eompany's line
and fare of $3.50 between New York
and Fall River, making the fare be-
tween Fab River and Boston vim the
Old Colony Steamboat company 90
cents, while the fare charged via the
Enterprise Transportation company be-
tween Fail River and Boston is $1.20.
The petitioner considers this unfair
and unreasonable and prima facic
evidence of discrimination. The COM
pany asks the commissioners to COM
pei the railroad company to honor the
baggage checks of the transportation
company and to recommend that the
fare between Fan River and Boston be
reduced to 80 cents or rs much below
81. 90 as thev NAV deem aa~'sable.

Kimbrough, who was hazed, was the
second witness, and the remarkable
fact developed that he was entirely
unable to Identify the accused as the
one who hazed him. This arose from
the fact that the code" forbids u
