GUESTS ROB A DUKE.
WeStminSter'S Friends PLAY Christmas
Prank Which Proves Big Puzzle
for Scotland Yard Men.

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Turning to burg
larry to enliven the dullness of Yuletide
house party, the guests of the duke of
Westminster a night or two ago invaded,
with felonious intent" Cholmondeley
castle, the country seat of the marquis
OF ChOmondeley, i'll Cheshire. They car
ried off everything upon which they
could lay their hands and when they de
parted they left satirical letter to the
owner OF the despOiled castle.
The raiders played high FRANKS in the
rooms which they invaded, and the evil
dences of the robbery" left indicate that
the JOkerS had imbibed a little too much
of the marquis champagne, which they
attacked with vlgOr during the raid.
They left the chairs arranged i'll a pyr-
amid on the dining table of the castle
the whole surmounted by an antique sill

address to the marquis. The handwrit-
ing of this literary effort was disguised or
rendered eccentric as Il result of the visi-
tors hbations. The names signed were
hardly deciphcrable.
There is a suspicion that at least one
woman was Il member of the marauding
party. a womnn's handkerchief with a
coronet embroidered in the corner was
picked up outside the window through
which the ducal Rafiieses entered the
castle.
Two thousand dollars will not pay for
the damage done by the makebelieve
burglars, especially as some silver ar
ticles which were taken away III a coal
scuttle have been lost.
Then, too, there must be counted the
damage done to the lodge gate which
was smashed beyond repair when the

POPE CURSES A PAPER
Greater Accommodation Extends Even
to Subscribers and Bans Well
Known People.

MILAN, Dec 27.-The Pope, On
Christmas eve, launched the severest
blow he has yet dealt modernism, it be-
ing nothing less than the pronunciation
of the greater communication against
all concerned in the production of the
monthly review II Rinnovamento, which
is published here.
The greater accommodation is q
penalty that has been rarely imposed in
modern times. Even Victor Emmanuel
when he despoiled the papal states, was
saved it's seventies. Among other
things, it deprives its victims of Chris
tan burial and relieves the faithful Of
all duties respecting the bodies and souls
of those denounced, whether they be
alive or dead.
II Rinnovamento is a high class sci
entific periodical. 1t is not antagonistic
to religion, but it opposes the policy of
the Vatican.
On Christmas eve the sentence was
communicated to the three chief directors
by Cardinal Ferrari. archbishop of Mil
an, who also was ordered to publish the
edict from the pulpit of the historic ca
thedral in Milan, whence 1t is stated no
similar manifesto ever before resounded.
The decree explicitly strikes not only
at the prOprietors and editors, but at the
whole staff of printers and others en-
ployed in the production Of the review,
as well as at every contributor and sub
scriber. Several aristocratic families of
Milan who are pronounced in their deyo-
ton to the Catholic faith are affected, as
well as innumerable humble readers and
supporters.
The directors have replied to the papal
illumination by an announcement of their
intention to continue firm but respectful
resistance to the Vatcan's policy, which
they declare crushing to liberty and re-
search, which their review embodies.

TWO PANAMA PROTESTS
Isthmian Merchants Say Government Is
Running Their Business-Shovel
Men, Too, Disgruntled.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Two parties
from Panama have arrived in New York,
one composed of ten disgruntled steam
shovel men who threw up their jobs on
the canal because they thought that sew
eral of their fellow employees who had
been discharged for incompetency had
not received the square DEAF and the
other a delegation of merchants who are
going to Washington to protest to Pres
ident Roosevelt against the government
stores established in the isthmus for the
accommodation of the canal workers.
The merchants state that the govern
ment stores are selling goods practically
at cost and that they cannot compete
with them, as they are obliged to pay
duty on everything they import. The
merchants say that many of the en-
pioyes of the canal purchase goods not
only for themselves but for others, not
employed on the canal and therefore not
emitted to trade at the government
stores.

MARINE CORPS FILLED UP.
Secretary Metcalf Notified That There
Are Plenty of Recruits on Hand

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Dec Is
Gen. Elliott. commandment of marines. to-
day reported to Secretary Metcaf that
for the first time in many months, the
marine corps was now up to its full
complement. Gen. Elliott reports that
not only has he secured all the men he
wants and has withdrawn from the
newspapers, advertisements calling for
recruits but he is now in a position to
pick his men when there is need for fur
Their recruitment. The reason assigned
for this state of affairs is the depressed
condition of industries resulting in fore
ing men to obtain employment outside of
the factories, mills and mines and to
such of these as are not able to perform
sailors duties, yet would make good sol
diers and desire to see the world, the
marine corps offers a tempting refuge.

MOUNTED POLICE CALLED OUT.
STORY is WITHOUT FOUNDATION.

LETHBRIDGE. Alberta, Dec. 81
Because they believed that a prominent
citizen had been murdered in a Chinese
restaurant, 1900 men raided and wrecked
the oriental quarter late Christmas night.
Restaurants and laundries were smashed
and doors, windows and entire fronts Of
buildings were reduced to splinters. The
regular police of the town were power
less and a brigade of mounted police had
to be called out to quell the riot
Rumor Starts Riot.
A story was circulated that Harry
Smith, well known cattle rancher. had
been fatally wounded III Il restaurant.
CuriouSly enough, neither Smith nor any
one else had been hurt, but even the
police were misled by the tale and two
orientals were arrested charged with the
murder An indignant mob gathered OPP
pOsIte the restaurant and there was talk
Of lynching. Suddenly some one threw
a rock which smashed d front window.
In mOmeIN the crowd was beyond con-
troll. Bricks and stones were hurled and
swhen the doors had been broken in the
table and chairs and dishes inside were
smashed. The Columbian and Alberta
restaurants were literally wrecked. Later
detachment of mounted police ap-
peared and the crowd scattered.
Other Places PilIaged
Hundreds Of the rioters merely shifted
the scene of pillagin2. Three blocks
away, opposite the Arlington hotel, they
cleaned out another Chinese restaurant
and roughly handled two orentals who
were captured within.
Mayor Galbraith and Magistrat e
Townsend both addressed the mob and
urged 1t to dispense and as all possible
damage had been done it obeyed
