PROSPECT OF ADJUSTMENT
FRENCH GOVERNMENT MAY Ac.
cEPT PROPOSAL OF CATH
OLlC BISHOPS.

Paris, Jan. 3O.-The proposition
which the French bishops, with the
approval of the pope, have now sub
mitted to the government seems to
offer the first real prospect of an ad-
justment Of the conflict between
church and state under the separa-
tion regime. While it involves ma
terial modification of the position
taken in the last papal encyclical the
proposition put forward has all the
appearance of an ultimatun. Whether
the government in spite of the con-
cessions made and making in the in
terest of religious peace, will accept a
settlement based upon the absolute
recognition of the Roman hierarchy
remains to be seen. The model con-
tract which the bishops have submit
ted provides for the virtual lease of
the churches in perpetuity to the par
ish priests by the mayors, the leases
being for eighteen years and renew
able by their successors. The leases,
which carry a stipulation engaging
the communal, municipal and state
authorities not to interfere with the
administration of the church and par
ish, are invalid without the express
ratification of the bishop and become
null the moment the parish priest
loses the bishops authorization. The
bishops must act together to insure
the acceptance Of the contracts every
where or nowhere. The propositions
made by the bishops make it clear
that no rent is to be Paid and that the
contracts must cover all the religious
edifces In France or none.
. The bishops proposition created a
stir in parliamentary circles. The fol-
lowers Of ex-Premier Combes were
loud in their assertions that it was
utterly unacceptable, but the more
moderate Republican groups were less
emphatic 3.s " s'i g. $4

OF Railroad Interest-Since the
Darlington depot burned the N. P.
! telegraph Office has been placed in
the electric light plant and the CON-
pany is building a temporary depot.
A new one will be erected in the
Sspring. - H''> --' .@ '.'.sH.'
| Conductor Cleland's train that
came down from Darlington last Fri
day morning, carried four ..or five
! passengers besides the crew and a
! number Of shovelers. On the north
trip there were several PIGS in crate,
also dog, in the baggage car. The
Caring ton depot had burned by the
time the train reached that place,
and so the animals were brought back
to Jamestown having been kept in
the car all the time. The coal for
heating the coaches had given out
and it was necessary for the passen-
gers and crews to remain in the bag
gage car to keep warm. The ladies
promanaded in the empty coaches,
with fur coats on, rather than re-
main in the baggage car, the odors of
which were something to be imag-
ined rather than discribnd, although
the train men did all they could to
make the Car habitable.
The North Dakota railroad men
engaged in the work of handling
trains and battling with the snow,
day and night, are being commended
by the press for their splendid be-
havior. They are sticking to the
work which is more than usually dan.
gerous and long continued and doing
it voluntarily.
The railroad company got an extra
number of men for snow service Sat-
urday and others are coming from
the east.
o. H. Nelson, formerly road master
on the Casselton branch, has sue
ceeded Chas. Whiting, resigned.
Some of the cuts on the Northern
branch are from 10 to Is feet high of
hard snow, and the coaches scrape
the sides of the cuts when passing
through.
Conductor Humes and his crsw are
reported fast about mile north of
Darlington and the fuel cars that
followed the plow north, got as far as
Edmunds and are there yet.
The cold, stormy weather still con-
tinues. and on the prairies the wind
keeps the snow moving almost every
day. The expected January thaw has
failed to show up and railroad men
can see little prospect for resuming
traffic on the branch lines until J. the

in the early'fall after slight snow
can be tracked and treed by dogs and
generally shot while crouching along

live mostly on cottontail rabbits

nicely mounted, are quite swell also.
The wolves are getting more humer-
Gus each day of the present winter
around the farm yard. Field mice
constitute the chief food supply of
the prairie wolf, but the deep SNOW

wolves to find their usual supply of
mice rations. Mr.. Gokey also brought

HITCHCOCK STILL
EVADES OFFICERS
Police Are Still Watching Every
Avenue Of Escape for
Actor.
ONE WITNESS DISAPPEARS
Effort Being Made to Secure Re-
lease Of Others by Habeas
Corpus.

NEW YORK, November 1.-The
bondsmen OF Raymond Hitchcock still
have five days In which to deliver the
comedian to the court, where he Is
charged with offenses against young
girls. 1t was limited to-day that the
actor was living quietly in this city,
and would be on hand to face his nc-
eusers when the case is called next
Wednesday. Neither his wife, II is
said, nor his bondsmen and counsel has
received the slightest clue to his
whereabouts. however.
The police, who, without regard to
the original case, seek to make an i'm
mediate arrest on the strength Of six
indictments returned by the grand jury
on Wednesday,. the day that Hitchcock
disappeared. continued their search to-
day canvassing the lodging -holses OF
the theatrical district, keeping men
posted at the railway and steamship
terminals and even calling on the au-
thorities Of other cities to hold Hitch
cock should he be recognized in their
localities.
Witness Disappears.
a new twist to the complicated case
was given to-day, when the police at
tempted to locate Bella Mckenzie. aged
seventeen years, one OF Hitchcock's ac-
cusers. She left home a month ago.
and subsequently took rooms in West
Sixtieth Street. According to agents,
of the Children's Society, she has met
Hitchcock since his troubles began. She
left her last lodging place about the
time the actor was indicted. The po-
lice believe the girl could throw some
light on what has become OF Hitchcock.
1t was said to-day that efforts would
be made to obtain the release. under
habeas corpus proceedings, OF Elsie
Voecks and Helen Won Hagen two of
the girls who testified before the grand
jury, and who are now detained in
the House OF the Good Shepherd. The
agents of the Gerry Society will prob
ably fight the release. alleging that
friends of Hitchcock are behind the
proceedings.
The only other developments to-day
were In the way of new theories re-
garding the actors disappearance. The
most fanciful theory. and one which
found some favor. was that the actor
had called into play his makeup"
genius. and by clever disguise was
enabled to roam at will about the city.

NEW YORK. November IA YER
dict of $3.50 against Joseph Ram
sey. Jr.. former president of the Wa
bash Railroad. in a suit brought by
John S. Jones. a financier and coal land
operator, was handed down to-day In

Mr.. Jones sued George j. Gould.
William z. Guy and Mr.. Ramsey as in
dividuais to recover 100000. which he
alleged to be due him from the three
defendants for securing for them 50,-
900 acres OF coal lands in Southern

according to Mr.. Jones, represented
sums advanced by him In payment for
the land, and the rest included his
