FRANCE OR THE CHURCH.
Churchmen Meet to Decide Which Will
Rule--Black Pope May Be
an American.

PARIS, Sept. "A meeting of all the
French bishops and archbishops took
place here today and excited intense
interest because the prelates will decide
whether the break between the church
and state is irremediable. 1t is believed
that eighty bishops are present under the
presidency of Cardinal Richard, the
archbishop of Paris The deliberations
are secret. Today the bishops and arch
bishops addressed a long telegram to
the Pope, assuring him that the as
sembled prelates were determined to per-
severe courageously despite the trials
and perils of the situation. The prelates
expressed the hope of being able to at
tain solution.
ROME, Sept. f. Notwithstanding the
strict secrecy imposed by the Jesuit dele
gates, what has leaked out leads to
the conclusion that the new general is
not likely to be an Italian, that prob
ably he will be German, and that if an
agreement or a German is impossible,
the choice is most likely to fall on Amer
lea, or on one of the small nationalities
like Belgium, Holland or Switzerland.

There was good deal of truth In this

She was quite agitated; and it was one
more tribute to the Presidents powers
that he should exert SO strange an inf1u-

to ask her more about herself and the
President, but I could not while she was
distressed. And when I had comforted
her, she resolutely declined to return to
the subject.

END OF THE LUCY WALKER.
Steamboat Race on the mississippi
that Cost Many Lives.

that Cost Many Lives.
Passing the place a few days ago
where this noted Cherokee Indian used
to live. we were reminded Of the history
and tragic death Of the man. Joe Vann.
who was the most noted Cherokee of
his time says the Fort Gibson Post.
He used to live about three miles below
Fort Gibson, opposite the mouth of
Bayou Manard, on the opposite side of
the Arkansas River.
He owned 500 slaves, 300 Of whom
were men. He had thousands of acres
of land, many cattle and horses, some
being racing stock. He owned the first
steamboat that came up the Arkansas
River to Fort Gibson, when the United
States government had line of boats
to this place to supply the large garrl-
son then stationed here. This boat was
named the Lucy Walker, and in those
days was noted for her speed. She ran
between Fort Gibson and lower Missis-
sippi ports, even to New Orleans, carry
ing passengers and freight.
Vann was a strange Indian, unlike
any known before or since, and was
known as dead game sport" open
hearted, brave and generous to fault
He was good to all his slaves and they
liked him and would obey him in any
thing. He won and lost large sums on
horse-racing and gambling, but it was
all the same to him, for he kept up his
end Of the sport at all times and sea-
sons. This was along the 3O's and 4Os,
not long after the Cherokees took pos
session of the country.
vann had one fault, which ultimate
" caused his tragic death. He could
not brook a Boosting rival and would
not take a dare" While his steam
boat had no rival for speed on the Ar
kansas River, from it's mouth at the
Mississippi to Little Rock and Fort
Gibson. there were two or three on the
Mississippi River, between st. Louis
and New Orleans. One Of these boats,
said to be the fastest on the river, at
tempted to pass him on the way down.
Vann had a crew of thirty negroes,
said to have no superiors on the river.
He told the boys that the Lucy Walker
must be kept ahead, no matter at what
cost. An allowance of grog was given
to each, and all promised to stand up
to the work The rival boat was gain
ing on them. The usual fuel failed to
give sufficient speed. Vann went around
and told the hands to gather up every
thing that would burn. Tar and bacon
were thrown into the furnace and soon
the Lucy Walker was forging ahead Of
her rival.
Timbers of the boat creaked and
groaned. The furnace was red hot
The boilers were seething and foam
ing. The heat was terrific The pas
sengers. of whom there were about $50,
became alarmed, but Vann was cool as
a cucumber He told his negro crew
that they would beat the rival boat or
all 60 to hades together, and they prom
ised to stand by him.
About that time there was an awful
explosion and there was nothing left
of the Lucy Walker but scattered frag-
ments. Most of the crew were blown
to atoms, besides about forty passen-
gers dead and nearly all more or less
injured. Vann's body was found hor-
ribIy mangled.

ing himself Viscomte LaverEer. with whom
he was travelling. John Morley Of Cleve-
land, o.. returned today from an expedi-
ton following his brothers route. during
which he obtained convincing evidence from
French missionaries aid Chinese showing
that Reuben Morley left a Chinese inn on
the morning Of September to visit lake
ten miles distant. The Frenchman re-
turned at night with Morleys rife and
saddlebags and told the servants that Nor
ley had proceeded alone to Mongolia. The
Frenchman was seen burning Morley's
papers and Mongols found Morley's pack
horse carrying his packs among a herd OF
wild horses Weeks afterward a man re-
sembling Lavsrger cashed Morley's letter
OF credit at Colombo, Ceylon, and sailed
for Europe. The presumption is that he
either shot Morley or drowned him In the
