PARIS STRIKE is SETTLED
Practically All the Demands OF the
Electricians Granted by
Company.

PARIS, March 9-The strike of the cleo
tricians of Paris, which threw the city into
obscurity for the best part of two nights,
has come to an end as abruptly as It
began. Through the intermediary of NJ. De
Selves, prefect OF the Seine the electrical
companies have conceded the principal de-
mands Of the workmen in the matter of
pensions and agree that they shall be
placed on the footing of the men employed
by the city as regards hours and wages.
The strikers will go back to work tomor-
row.
At II o'clock tonight one OF the electrical
companies with the assistance Of firemen,
succeeded In generating sufficient current
TO light the central districts OF the city and
run the newspaper presses. Up 20 this hour
the boulevards and the cafes had been but
dimly lighted with Chinese lanterns, while
the use Of candles stuck in bottles in the
restaurants presented forlorn aspect.
The portion of the tunnel OF the Metro
politan subway on the south side OF the
Seine, which was inundated last night as a
result of the strike, was strongly timbered
up today in order to prevent ii from falling
In. The engineers declare there is no dan
ger of the tunnel collapsing.

LANDOWNERS AND LABoRERs
Prussinn Minister Raises storm by
Liberal Ideas on subject of
Settlements.

BERLIN, March 9.-(SpeciaL)-In the
lower house of the Prussian diet Count Won
Arnim-Crewen, Prussian minister of agri-
culture gave details of some interesting
experiments made by him and others In the
settlement of laborers on the land. He
said that the experiment showed that the
limit Of settlement for each family should
depend on the lightness or the heaviness of
the soil, and that the proper quantity being
the amount which enabled the wife and
able bodied children to find an opportunity
OF assistance on the settlement. He had
himself experimental In a small way by
giving each family one acre with an ad-
ditional plot OF potato garden. This proved
too small. He had come to the conclusion,
however, that the ten acres advocated by
some was too large. The average pro-
portion appeared to be about four acres
on reasonably good soil.
The minister referred briefly to expert
ments in such settlement in England and
Sweden the former having the larger num-
Der, namely 100000. He himself believed
one Of the principle obstacles to the success
OF the system was the too immediate de-
pendence of settler on the landlord, and he
would like to see greater independence.
The minister maintained the latter despite
expressions of disapproval from a number
of land owners present in the house.

vILATTE CAUSES EXCITEMENT
Head of French Catholic Apostle
Church is Accused of Grave
Scandals.

PARIS. March s-(special. 1.-THE scenes
that occurred at the first mass Of the
French Catholic Apostolic church In Paris
on recent Sunday under the auspices OF
Mgr. Vilatte have been the sport of the
city ever since. One amusing incident in
the many ridiculous occurrences was as
follows: A group had already shouted as
Vilatte was beginning TO speak, Silence!
You are accommodated" and after
while when reproaches had been exchanged
between the would-be archbishop and the
crowd, one man who meant business cried,
Sir Bishop! have still this account which
you should pay. II goes back over a year
ago, before your departure for America.
II you are going to pay me / will pass
around to the ofice."
But Justice was not done to the man
who really had a charge against Vilatte
for the rush of the people drove him back,
and policeman removed him from the
church, 30 that he did not reach the bishop.
Many interesting statements are made
concerning this man who Is the "Playboy'
Of Paris at the present moment. Nilatte
was born at Paris Of Catholic parents in
1884, he apostatized from the faith ana
after that he received minor and sacred
orders in Switzerland from DR.. Hersog,
the so-called bishop Of the sect OF "Old
Catholics" In 1892 Vilatte went to the
Island of Ceylon and was there, he says,
consecrated bishop by the schismatic
Alvarez. who called himself bishop; then
he went to the United States and into
the diocese Of Green Bay. He there turned
to Cardinal Satolli, then delegate apostolic
at Washington, to be admitted once again
into the fold of the Catholic church, but
the pride and the pretensions of the man
brought a close to the negotiations On
other occasions, however, he has sought
admission to the church.
The Figaro furnishes an account of this
individual which shows him an excom-
muncate. In fact it furnishes a transla-
ton of the text of decree of the holy
Office to this effect. The priest, Paul
Miraglia, of the diocese of Pavia, says
this document, but residing at Piacenza,
has been excluded from the communion Of
the faithful after canonical monition on
the 18th of April, 1896, on account of numer-
Gus and most grave accusations and enor-
nous scandals. But. not having improved
and becoming worse every day, he pushed
his temerity and perversity SO far as to
confer at Piacenza with a hereto OF the
name of Joseph Rene Vilatte, pretending
to have the episcopal character; the latter
with the episcopal robes and insignia, as
| II he were a real bishop. In order not
to leave such a crime unpunished and that
there may not be scandal through the
silence of authority. the supreme congre-
| cation Of the holy Office declares that the
| priest, Paul Miraglia, and his accomplice,
Joseph Rene Vilatte, have incurred, by
causes repeated and multiplied the major
accommodation reserved by the sovereign
/ pontiff according to the terms of the con-
stitution. "Apostolicaso Sedls." The MEM
bers of the Catholic church are warned
to avoid them absolutely.

linois? asks the Rocky Mountain News.
Denver railroad men are expressing
some fear as 10 the decision of the
Western Passenger Association on
summer tourist rates. The time is
near for the annual announcement, and
from Chicago comes an inkling that
rates will be higher than last year, be
cause the trunk lines expect to get out
OF the tourist what they viii lose by
reason OF 2.cent fares in the three
states named.
While no direct information has
been received on the subject, there Is
considerable nervousness among local
passenger men, who are eager that last
seasons basis OF rates be maintained.
There was a rate from Missouri river
points and from Chicago of one fare
plus 81. At intervals through the sum
mer there were occasions when the
tourist from the Missouri river could
buy n round trip ticket for SIS. Dur
ing last summer the regular one-way
fare to the Missouri river was reduced
from $3.50 to SlG15. so that, II the
same basis is adopted during the com
ing summer-one fare plus S2-the
general round trip rate, effective from
about January 1st, and good to return
until October 3lst, will be slS15, in
stead Of $3.50. as heretofore.
