Catholic Celebration.
session,

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Committees of
the Catholic clergy and laymen of
Chicago today made final plans for the
great Roman Missionary congress, the
first of it's kind to be held in Ameri
ca, which will be opened next Sunday.
Thousands of priests and distinguished
laymen and scores of bishops and arch
bishops have notified the committees
that they will be present, and every
part of the country will have represen-
tation.
On Tuesday of last week the CONT
nent of North America was placed in
new category on the records of the
Catholic church, and now, instead of
being a missionary country, it is
in the same order as the Catholic coun-
tries of Europe. The congress will
celebrate this great change, the most
important step taken by the American
branch Of the church in the last cen
fury. Pope Plus X. will have a per-
sOnal representative at the congress
and will send a blessing.

ANARCHIST PRINCESS
COMING TO AMERICA

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Great curiosity
has been aroused here by the an
nOuncement that the Princess Kropar-
kin, a member of the Russian nobility
and an anarchist, intends to visit
America early next year. The Anleri
can immigration law fOfrbids the ad-
mission of anarchists, and John Tur-
ner, famous London anarchist, was
turned back some years ago. The hus-
band of the princess, distinguished
savant and nihilisS was given a tire
mendous ovation by society folk when
he visited America some years since.
The Kropatkins. Who are eXiles from
Russia, have lived in London for the
past 20 years. The prince IS a WELL
known and respected author and man
of science, while the princess is almost
as gifted as her husband, having taken
degrees at the universities of Paris and
Geneva and being a contributor 10 sew
eral reviews and periodicals. The
friends of the princess say that she
will most certainly write herself down
an anarchist in the blank which for-
eigners are required to fill out. The i'm
migration authorities, however, are ex-
pected to recognize the difference be-
tween her sort of anarchism and that
off John Turner, who was excluded a
few years Syo.

HARD LUCK
LOST GAME
TO O. A. c.

PORTLAND, Nov. 13. - Manager
Martin Pratt Of the Multnomah club
football team, who witnessed the game
between Whitman and oregon Agrt
cultural college in Corvallis yesterday
says it was hard luck that lost the
game for the Missionaries. Pratt is a
student of the game and his opinion
is worth something.
Both scores made by the Aggies, az
cording to the big manager, were I'M
earned. In the case of the field goal
he says that it might not have been
made had not an official been in the
way. 1t was the Aggies' third down
with three yards to gain. A play was
started that ran over the official but
Whitman threw the OregOnians back
for a loss. The official decided thar
the play must be made over and on the
replay the Corvallis men made yardage.
which put them within easy reach Of
the goal posts. The field goal resulted.
The touchdown came after this fash
ion: Whitman was on her own door
step with several yards to gain on the
third down. \ kick was eSsayed but
the ball went wild on the pass. Instead
| Of falling on it for a safety the Whit
man punter lost his head and tried to
advance the ball by running. He was
stopped on the one-yard line and the
ball went to the Beavers. 1t was an
easy matter to put it over from the

OPERA SEASON
ON IN GOTHAM

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-With all
the pomp and ceremony that bri'-
liant assemblage of New York socie-
ty folk and opera lovers of all classes
could give it, the season at the Metrop-
olitan opera house was inaugurated
this week. From the diamond-be-
decked occupant of d stage box to the
topmost gallery god, enthusiasm was
rife on the opening night. Every seat
was taken and the IS. r. o." syn was
early displayed at the box office.
The premiere production of the sea-
son was La Tosca," and the title role
was taken by a newcomer of European
reputation and experience. Maria La
bia. She is a singer of much artistic
strength and possibilities, and has a
sweet soprano voice of fine range and
calibre. In addition she has a beautiful
face and a graceful figure. Mile. Labia
scored a pronounced success. Maurice
Remand, baritone, and Giovanni Zena-
tellO, the new tenor of last year, again
demonstrated what great artists they
were and both were compelled time
and time again to bow their ac-
acknowledgements to the tremendous ap-
plause aroused by their singing. The
parts of minor Importance were ac-
ceptably taken by singers of high re-
putatiOn. Campanni conducted an or
chestra of increased size and efficiency
and demonstrated the fact that his su-
periOr nor even his g .ual, has never
been seen in New York. The total
beauty and artistic preeminence of the
orchestra was clearly marked.
The quality of the chorus has been
vastly improved over that of last year.
The production itself was of unusual
sumptuOuSness in scenery, costumes
and properties. No expense has been
spared to make this season q memOra
bic one in many respects. Oscar Ham
merstein, the brilliant imprasSariO, has
at last obtained the stamp of approval
by the "400' upon the Manhattan OPP
by the leaders of society and the or
chestra filled by refined body of rep
resentative Operagoers. Grand opera
is by far the best entertainment of its
own or any other class, and by glanc
ing at the repertoire of the Manhattan
Opera house it can be seen that New
York is going to be royalty entertained
this winter.

ELECTRIC POWER
FOR USE IN GREAT
RAILROAD TUNNEL

PORT HURON. Mich, Nov. 13.-
Distinguished railroad officials and
electrical experts of the United States
and Canada We're guests Of the Grand
Trunk railroad today at the formal in
augural of the electrified international
tunnel between this city and Sarnia,
Ont. The identification of the tunnel
was one of the largest electrical rail-
road contracts ever carried out in
America.
The results have been satisfactory
and gratifying, not merely in clearing
the big hole from noXiOus gases and
so avoiding discomfort and danger,
but in increasing efficiency Trains can
be handled much faster under the
electrical system than by steam loco
motives.
The identification of the St. Clair
tunnel has attracted the attention Of
engineers in all parts of the world.
The installation of the electric plant
cost 100000 including the power plant,
wiring, locomotives and other equip
ment for an overhead wire power sup
ply system.
Four heavy electric locomotives have
been built for the work. They are
among the largest of their kind in the
world. have a tractive power of 80
per cent. greater than the steam loco
motive and can haul trains at an aver
age speed of 10 miles an hour over the
heavy tunnel grades. The new sYS-
TEN also insures safety, which is more
important than efficiency or speed, as
the ST. Clair tunnel, since it's compile
ton in 1891 has gained an unenviable
notoriety by the number of fatal acct
dents which have occurred in it. The
least accident to train passing
through the tunnel that every car
should be sealed as nearly as hermet-
ically as possible and the transit was
by no means q comfortable one for
either crew or passengers under the
most favorable conditions.
Under the electric system the in
terror of the tunnel has been brilliantly
Illuminated with arc lights and paint
ed white. The absence of coal fumes
and the ventilation make the air in the
tunnel now 50 pare that the car win

Political Gain in Moral Perception.

Nationally speaking so far as our
moral perceptions are involved in pol
tiles, we are manifestly gaining
ground. There We're q number of no
t"ble incidents during the campaign
which went to show that in the con-
duct of presidential campaign We
have moved on to an altogether higher
plane than we hitherto occupied The
most notable of these-that is to say
the incident of widest bearing, that
may be accepted as the clearest evil
GeEce of betterment-WaS the refOrmcd
methods adopted by both parties anH
approved b; the peOple generally, with
reference to financing the campaign.
The other incidents in their chrome
logical order. rather than in the order
o. their Importance, were the retire
n!ent Of Senator Foraker and GOverno"

OF all concerned. that the professee,

REGARDING BILLY HEARST.

Mr.. Hearst will not support Mr..
Bryan, 1t is announced. He has lost
confidence in boil the Democratic
party and Mr. Bryan. 1t Is further
announced.
That's sad, but comparatively I'm.
important ave If true. Little else
was expected of Mr.. Hearst. With him
1t is and always has been rule or
ruin. This time he could not rule;
so he will try to ruin.
Mr.. Hearst has been a consistent
political scene shifter In recent years,
and hat he shifts again is not at all
surprising. With his Independence
League party he has bolted' the Demo-
cratic party all over the country. In
one election he may be see with a
full Independence League ticket in
the field. In another he makes a
combine with the Republicans, and
in still another with the Democrats.
If he has finally bolted the Demo-
cratic ticket, it is well that the coun-
try knows just what his attitude is.
1t may be that he has been as much
of a drag to the party as he has been
a boon.-Bisbee Review.

contend that he is revered as Lincoln

neither the case of Clay nor of Blaine
nor of Lincoln furnishes a parallel.
The love for Clay was largely sec
tional and partisan, and the affection
of the masses for Blaine was largely
confined to the ranks of his own party.
Lincoln was not revered in his life
time. In two-thirds of the land of this
great country he was unpopular until
after the assassin's bullet had made
him a National martyr. Clay had pat,

the fierce combat in which he was
the stern arbiter.
But, how different with Bryan. An
humble citizen, now, on a little farm
in Nebraska with no income, except
that of a platform speaker, and not
as much as even a clerkship to be-
stow, he sits on his porch today, in
fuencing the course of more than sew
en- millions of voters n shaping the
destiny of the greatest Republic the
world has ever known. 1t is not boss
ism; it is leadership-the highest,
broadcast, most comprehensive lead
ership ever known in the politics Of
nations. Twice defeated for the Presi-
dency, his name is upon more human
lips at this hour than any leader liv-
ing Or dead. Mothers consecrate their
uuty by pointing their ons to Bryan;
old men, whitened in the seasons of
struggle, and boys just girding on
their armor, pronounce the name of
Bryan as the most illustrious and pow
|erful champion of human liberty.
Why is it? We don't know. History
furnishes no explanation. Precedents
are looked up in vain. The past brings
nothing to account for the present in
the matter of the popular belief in
Bryan.
