A MoN-cATHoLlc VIEW.

The reports of the interview ac-
corded to Bishop O'C1orman of Sioux
Falls South Dakota. by Pope Plus X
relative tn Archbishop Irelands views
on the French situation, has given
rise to another crop OF opinions on
that subject. When the Archbishop
criticised the French clergy and prom
inent members of the French laty
and assigned to them a share of the
blame for the present difficulty. his
announcement created considerable
surprise and comment. 1t carried
with it great weight, even with those
who We're inclined to place the entire
blame upon the French government,
for no American is more thoroughly
than the Archbishop of ST. Paul. He
received a large part of his education
in that country and he has been
frequent visitor to it all his life. The
New York Sun voices the sentiment
of Il large portion of the nom Catholic
people of the United States in the
following editorial:
Those who are familiar with the
history of the relations of the Papacy
to the present French Republic dur
ing the last quarter of the nineteenth
century will appreciate the candor OF
the statement made on March II by
Pope Plus Y. to Rt Rev. Thomas
O'Gorman, Bishop Of Sioux Falls, S. d.
According to a telegram from Rome
his Holiness said that Archbishop
Ireland had correctly defined the pri-
mary cause of the conflict between
Church and State in France as being
the failure of the French clergy and
of leading lay Catholics to follow the
advice of Leo XIII.
There was, of course, no friction
between the civil authorities and the
Vatican during the existence of the
National Assembly. which met at Bor-

The subsequent resignation of Mar

by the election of M. Grevy to the
Presidency. convinced intelligent on
lockers that Republican ascendency

Associated Press to The Evening Tines.
New York, April 9.-Harry Thaw
was in unusually good spirits this
morning when he began to prepare
for his day in the court room. He
laughed and chatted with his keepers,
and to everyone he met, he expressed
himself as more than ever confident of
the outcome of the trial. A crowd be-
gan to gather outside the court room
at an unusually early hour and the
guardians at the doors of the room ex-
ercised extra vigilance in keeping out
those who had no business to enter.
Delmas resumed his address to the
jury at 1O:30. He began by briefly
running over his address of yesrer-
day, in order to connect his argu-
ments.
Delmas turned the course of his
argument today to the effect thar
Evelyn's story had upon Thaw's mind
and Delmas declared Thaw coulu
thing OF nothing else. Her story
haunted him always and he felt he
had mission to fulfill Delmas said:
You know, gentlemen of the jury,
that no human imagination ever In
vented such a story. You know that
no actor could have stood as she
did unf1inchingly all tests known to
skilled lawyers to elicit the truth, un-
less she was telling the absolute
truth He also read that portion of
her testimony in which she said she
had refused Thaw's offer OF marriage
because she loved him so much that
she would not drag him down.
sublime remuneration, says the
sneering district attorney in an effort
to make YOU believe that this story IS
not true, that it is impossible" went
on Delnlas, man, it may be, has not
that great power OF remuneration, but
in gentler breast OF woman do we find
that great gift OF God and in the
little girl existed this great strength
that enabled her to put aside her one
love when she knew it was for the
good OF the one she loved"
Delmas called the jury's attention
to the fact that as late as May. 1906,
Stanford White had told May McKen-
zie he would yet get Evelyn back. He
pictured Thaw's excitement on hear
ing this, and said it was the cause for
the young husband to lose his reason.
Delmas evidently approaching the end
of his argument, asked the Jurors to
put themselves in the place of the de-
fendant and then do their duty by
Harry Thaw.
Delmas bitterly denouncing STAN
ford White today said: "Thaw had
snatched the girl from the old lecher,
who saw in her but toy to crafty
moments lust and then he cast her
aside to go her way down the paths OF
fallen women"
The court took a recess at 1890 D.
m. until 2 o'clock. when Delmas will
continue his argument. He said he
would not conclude until late this af-
ternoon. Jerome will begin his argu-
ment tomorrow.

RUSSIAN COUNT SLAIN BY HINES WAS SOLDIER Of FORTUNE

Goldfield, Ney:., April 9.-The recent
killing of Count Constantine Podhor-
sky by John c. Hines, one of the ia
miliar figures on the Pacific coast ana
in Alaska, continues the staple OF con-
versation in all circles here. The
tragedy occurred two weeks ago and
anything that can hold interest here
abouts for so long period must nec-
essarily possess elements far out OF
the ordinary.
Both the slayer and his victim were
soldiers of fortune and were we'll
known from San Francisco to Nome.
The count, by reason of his .connec-
tions, moved in the best circles, and
Hines, because of his winning person
. ality and accomplishments, was well
received everywhere. Both were men
of fiery spirit. The count was of the
nobility and Hines was native Ken
tuckian, so that there was little to
choose between them when 1t came to
dare devil gallantry and love of ad-
venture.
Count Podhorsky came to Goldfield
several months ago. He represented
himself as a former lieutenant In the

On the night OF the tragedy Hines
and his wife went to a French restau-
rant here conducted by Victor Agan,
the wrestler. Hines walked into the
bar room, while his wife entered the
dining room. Count Podhorsky was
seated at one of the tables and, seeing
her, invited her to partake of dinner
with him. She had just taken a place
at the table when her husband entered
and without hesitation walked toward
the count and when within few feet
OF him drew a revolver and killed him.
Immediately after the shooting,
Hines, his face almost obscured by the
smoke of the revolver. turned to the
terrified patrons of the restaurant and
exclaimed:
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to
say that this man seduced that wom-
an" pointing to his wife. "He ruined
my life and now am prepared to pay
the penalty for Staying the dog"
Public sentiment appears to be in
favor of the prisoner, and the general
opinion is that, by pleading the un-
written law at his trial, the verdict
will probably be one of not guilty.

New Orleans, April 9.-That Puerto
Cortez was surrendered without fight
ing, and that about 1900 Honduran
soldiers abandoned the port two days
before the Nicaraguan troops ap-
peared, was the information brought
here by the steamer Ansela from
Puerto Cortez.
The HOndurans did not desert their
post through cowardice, according to
these dispatches, but decided that the
war was over. They returned to the
banana plantations where most of
them had been employed as laborers
before the war began.
United States marines closed all
saloons in Ceiba as the abandonment
of the port by the Hordurans was
made.
The following proclamation was is
sued by Commander Fullam of the
Marietta and Virgil C. Reynolds,
United States vice counsel:
ITO the people of Ceiba: The gen.
erals of the Honduran army having
left Ceiba, the civil authorities will
assume charge of the city government.
All liquor saloons will be Immediate
ly closed and will remain so Sailors
from the United States ship Marietta
will patrol the streets and assist the
civil authorities to preserve order and
protect property, foreign and private.
The sailors are landed as friends of
Honduras. All persons are warned
that there must be no disorder or vio-
lation of the laws of Honduras and
all are advised to remain in their
homes for the present. In case Near
aguan forces concentrate at Ceiba,
they will not interfere with law-abid-
