Indianapolis Woman Wants to
 Contribute to Conscience Fund.

After three years. the soul of Mrs. Ella Grail of Indianapolis Ind, has been saved and sanctifed," and. con- science stricken, she has written to Mayor Teague declaring that she now desires to make reparation for reduced transportation which she secured under false colors three years ago by the good will of the late Mayor E. B. Jo- seph.
 Representing herself as very poor and unable to pay the regular price for passenger transpor tation from Mont gomery to Louisville. Ky, she applied to Mayor Joseph. and he issued her a certificate by which she secured the rate which the city gets from railroads for the indigent and poor.
 Tn her letter to Mayor Teague. Mrs. Grail says that she Tied" to the Mayor when she applied to the Mayor of Mont gomery three years ago last September for reduced fare. She says she had been sick and under the care of a physician, and she told the Mayor she was unable to pay her fare to Louis- vile, although she was able. A lady" whom she met in Montgomery, she ex- plains in the letter, told her that she went to St. Louis that way"
 She was worth more than I was,' says Mrs. Grail. "and as was poor

and have not very much now, listen ed to her and did that. So wanted to ask forgiveness but as the Mayor is dead can't but want to pay what owe the company. don't know what road 1t was on but think it was the L. & N, and don't know what the fare was and how much owe.
 T was an awful sinner then, but the good Lord has saved and sanctified my soul. and I must make right for the wrong I have done"
 Mrs. Grail states that she desires Mayor Teague to oblige her by inform ing her how much she owes and what railroad she travelled over, or to tell her how to find out these things.
 T want to pay the right one" she continues, T might pay 1t here. but the right party would not get 1t. If you can help me the Lord will bless you for 1t. I am a poor. hardworking woman but want to make everything right as far as can and will do It.
 The letter Is written in crude hand writing. Mrs. Grail gives her address as 525 West Market Street, Indianap- oils. Mayor Teague has answered the communication. but he did not give out the nature of his reply.
 The amount of money which Mrs. Grail desires to refund Is about $4.s0.

rets and rats are working without un- ion cards in this city. Terre Haute. La- fayette and Huntingdon?
 The fact Is admitted by MT. Cline. superintendent of construction of tel ephone company. He states they are used Tn connection with laying wires In underground duets.
 When we first began to use ferrets,' said Mir. Cline. we baited them or en- ticed them through the duct by hanging a piece of raw meat ct the opposite end. Our la.est experiments have been by the use of a live rat, starting through the duct ahead of the ferret. This entices the ferret to follow the rat through the section of duct to the next manhole. where the rat is caged and used for another section.
 Before starting the ferrett through the duct he is harnessed up with col lar and girth. to which is attached the end of q ball of lacing twine. Az the ferret goes through the duct he pulls the lacing twine after him. and when he reaches the other end we have a string through the section of the duct by means of which we pull small wire through. and with this wire the pulling in rope Is drawn through the duct The pulling in rope may be eith- CT one and one-duartar inch manila or a five-eights-inch flexible wire.
 We also keep the ferrets well fed until within about twenty-four hours before they are used. as the tendency O ia ferret is to do better work when he is hungry"

Merry del Val Wanted Catholics
 Contest Inventory Taking.

Merry del Val Wanted Catholics to Contest Inventory Taking. Paris, March 22.-The Figaro, pa per with Catholic sympe.hies, says that the documents seized at the papal nunciature here after the expulsion of its secretary, Mgr. Montagnini. in- cluded a dispatch from Cardinal Merry del Val, the Papal Secretary of State. advising Mgr. Montagnini to give the Catholics free rein to oppose the talk ing of church inventories under the law providing for the separation of church and State; a report from Mon signor Caspari, Secretary of Ecclesias- tical Affairs at the Vatican. embodying information for use during the French electoral campaign and Instructions relative to the campaign.
 Continuing, The Figaro asserts that one of the most interesting documents is Mgr. Montagninfs diary, detailing conversations which the prelate had with M Piou, one of the founders of the Liberal Action Party; M Donis Cochin, Conservative. and other politi- cal personages. which. The Figaro adds, will prove embarrassing to those in volved, but will not compromise the Holy See.
 In conclusion, The Figaro asserts that that documents do not contain anything confirming the reports that Premier CIemenceau attempted indi. rectly to negotiate with the Vatican or anything from ex-Premier Rouvier. although there are notes in the docu- ments indicating that the former hoped ultimately to arrive at an understand ing with the Vatican.

Small Island Springs Up Ln
 Night at Pensacola Harbor

Pensacola, Fla. March 22.-(Spec- al.)-The appearance of a small is- land in the harbor, where there had been from seventeen to twenty feet of water, Is causing much discussion here. The island is near the Marine Railway across the bay, and stands about five feet above the water, and is about thirty-five feet long and ten feet wide.
 Thursday night when the workmen from the railway left there to come across to the city there was no sign of an island in the vicinity, but this morning when they returned they found that one had formed during the night. and furthermore that it had formed out of mud, shells. ballast and old iron from the bottom of the har- bor, showing that some submarine eruption or disturbance had occurred during the night and the substance forced up from the bottoe1 of the bay at least twenty three feet.

Attorney General BonapaPte Answers
 Questions Of Governor AmseL
 Washington, March 22.-President Roosevelt has received from Attorney General Bonaparte a letter containing answers to a series of questions pro- pounded by Governor Anesl. of South Carolina, on the matter of promoting immigration.
 Replying to the question whether it is violation of the immigration law now in force for a State acting through It's officers to advertise its inducements and publish abroad the scale of wages prevailing within its borders, provided no contract or agreement, express or implied is entered into, Mir Bonaparte replies in the negative it being his understanding that such advertise ments should be limited to setting forth the inducements offered by conditions prevailing within the State. leaving the readers to draw their own conclusions
 Answering a second question, the Attorney General says that presunling the immigrants qualified in other re- spects, the advertisements to be lawful in accordance with the answer to the first question and that neither the State nor It's ot11cers, nor any one else had otherwise solicited or encouraged the immigration except by payment of the immigrants passage out of the pub lie funds of the State, the introduction of the immigrants would be lawful"
 In the third question the Governor asked whether a State, acting as such, through its officers, could accept con tributions to the immigration depart ment fund, provided they are contri- buted free from any contract or re- ciprocal agreement. and with this fund advertise its inducements and pay the passage of aliens provided they come free from any contract or agreement. In answering this question, the Attor- ney General says:
 While the parties providing the money for the publication of the adver- tisements, might be. in my opinion, lia- ble to the penalties imposed by Section 5 (of the present law), the immigrants themselves. upon the hypothesis of the third question could not be excluded"
 To the fourth Questi on. whether the foregoing questions would be material ly different after the taking effect of the act of February 20 last, and which goes into effect on July 1 newt, the Attorney General answers in the af- firmative, The provisions of the new

 Secondly. the person whose passage money is paid by another must be pre- pared to show that 1t was not paid by a corporation. an association. c so- ciety, municipality, or a foreign gov errment The Attorney General says that while the payment of the passage money of such immi nts by State with it's public funds is not prohibited. It's payment with funds contributed by any society or association renders the immigrants liable to exclusion. The same prohibition, however, does not extend to the payment of passage mon- ey by individuals, whether directly or through the agency of @ State, pro- vided their action Is individual. in good faith, and Is not attended by combina- tion or concert of action.

 Blun, Ark.
 Memphis, March 22.-A special from Pine Bluff. Ark. says:
 Fire late today swept over the en- tire plant of the Bluff Lumber Com pany and destroyed several small dwellings owned by the company. The loss Is variously estimated at from $500, 0,oc0 to S750.o0o.
 When the fire started in the boiler room of the lumber plant the entire fire department responded, but 1t was soon apparent that the water pressure was not sufficient to subdue the flames. The ire spread rapidly and several cottages in the immediate vicinity of the plant were razed to the ground by the use of dynamite.

Pensacola. Fla. March 22.-(SpeciaL) The destruction of building No. at the Pensacola navy yard last night, containing the foundry, blacksmith shop, copper shop, boiler shop and power plant, caused no interruption in the work at the yard today and the hundreds of men employed in the yard continued their labors as though noth- ing had occurred.
 Temporary sheds have been con- structed for the blacksmith, foundry and copper work, and electric lighting and power is being furnished by tho plant of the department of construction and repair.
 The losses by fire this morning are estimated as follows: Building, $100,- 900; boiler shop, s30.000; power plant, sI0,000; blacksmith shop. ss,o00; foundry, ss.000; copper shop. slo,ooo. In addition. large quantities of ma chinery of the gunboats Gloucester and Isla de Luzon were destroyed which will probably increase the loss to over s175,0 900 as at first estimated.
 The machinery of these vessels had just been placed in repair, preparatory to being installed again, and had the blaze occurred few days later. would not have been damaged. The power plant, which was under the department of yards and docks had only been in service since Sunday. hay ng been put out of commission by the September hurricane, when some of the dynamos burned out by coming in contact with water while in operation. New n1aA chinery had been installed and many repairs made, and the service resumed.
 The building destroyed had also un- dergone many repairs, including new roof, which had been carried away by the storm.

auit of Mr. storrie.

This morning counsel for Robert c. Storrie, the sewerage contractor, who yesterday filed a suit for s25.000 in the United States Court against the city of Pensacola, for alleged violation of contract, withdrew the suit, and in its place filed a new suit in the sum oS s5e,000.
 The attorney for Mir. storrie, who came here from Texas, has associated with him prominent attorneys of this city. who have taken charge of the case.
 Today no work was done towards laying the sewers, and all of the men employed were engaged in filling the excavations made. whether or not pipe had been laid. The contractor an- nounced that he would not place an- other piece of sewer pipe in the ground.
 The city has taken no steps. nor will any be taken until i've days have elapsed since work ceased. According to the contract, the contractor has the privilege of ceasing work for not more than five days, and 1t is the intention of the city officials to await until this time has elapsed before proceeding to the necessary steps to collect the bond of s73,ooo. which 1t will contend has been forfeited.
