LETTERS CAUSE FEAR

COMPROMISING STATEMENTS
Publication OF MOntagnIni Papers

Church and Government Circles.

Paris, April 1.-THE publication Of the
Montagnini papers will probably cover Il
period OF weeks. Meanwhile many Off
eials, great and little, are quaking in fear
of further compromising statements. and
this general fear of uneasiness prevails In
ecclesiastical as well as government
circles.
one curious fact ELECTED from to-day's
revelations is that the Vatican conducted
its correspondence with Mgr. Montagnini
with elaborate mystery. On some occa-
.sions he received an anonymous letter or
deriug him to be present at a certain OBJ
.scGre rendezvous in Paris. whereupon the
Nuncio would be handed packet by an
unknown messenger.
At other times he received a cipher tele-
gram, instrUetng him to go 10 d certain
town, where q representative Of the Vat
lean met him with letters from Cardinal
Merry del Val
Mgr Montagnini entered fully into these
medieval methods. He kept some sus-

constant surveillance, and confidential re-
ports TO the Vatican regarding these eccle-
siastics. and minute particulars Of their

EDWARD AS A PEACEMAKER.

king Hoped 20 Reconcile France
and Vatican While ut Rome.
London. April 27.-It was hoped in high
quarters a few days ago that a reconcilia-
ticA between France and the Vatican
might be effected through the mediation
or King Edward. There Is reason TO be-
aeve that the matter was carefully cen
sldercd in Paris during the Kings visit at
the outset of his present tour, and that
preliminary arrangements were made.
It was for this reason that the King Of
Italy left Rome TO meet King Edward at
Gaeta so that there would be no embar-
easements of etiquette over noninter-
course between the two soyereigns. King
Edward was then to visit Rome ia the abb
sence of King Victor Emmanuel and in
formal mediation with the church authori-
ties might have been undertaken.
The plan, however, was interfered with
at this point 1t is limited that the hitch
was due to a protest of the Bannerman
government II hardly seems probable
that the Liberal leaders feared the effect
upon the nonconfor-nist English public Of
any intercourse between the sovereign and
the authorities of the Roman Church.
The matter is said to be still in allegiance.
King Edward is spending the interval in
tours Of the country ia the South of Italy.

capitol building on the evening of
Jan. Ii.
Rupert's orchestra Of Fargo, fifteen
pieces strong, has been engaged to
furnish the dance music and prelimi-
nary concert, in addition to which.
Miss Holemo, the noted violin artistic.
and Prof. Carl Schulz, one Of tie best
cornetists in the United States have
been engaged to render several solos
during the early part Of the evening as
interludes to the dancing program.
Never before have the arrangements
been SO elaborate or so complete and
nothing has been left undone for the
comfort and pleasure Of the people
from all parts Of the state who will
grace the occasion, a great many of
whom have already engaged their
quarters at the hotels. There is every
indication that this ball will be more
generally attended by people from a
distance than any for many years.
This is accounted for probably by the
fact that the incoming governor is a
democrat and large numbers Of that
political faith will make it a point to
do honor to the second democrat to

the fact that the governor is SO well

the desire of the committee that this
