Meaning of New Title.
In accepting the task of addressing
you today" he said, my intention was
not to pronounce an euIogy which I
know would be just as distasteful to
the well known modesty of the re-
cipient as unbecoming of the place In
which we are assembled. The house OF
God must resOund with the praises OF
Him only, not of men. ] chose, there
fore as more appropriate in every way,
briefly to remind you of the meaning Of
the title the holy father has conferred
on our rector, and of the significance
of that event for this institution The
title is that of 'Antistes Urbanus,' tho
first word, .antistes,' indicating one that
stands at the head of others In rank or
dignity; the second word, 'Urbanus,'
showing that he belongs to Rome in
contradistinction to the rest Of the
Christian world, consequently that no
one can hold such title except from
the Bishop of Rome. the pope himself.
A common substitute for the title OF
Anistes Urbanus' is 'Domesticus Prae-
latus'; in English domestic prelate.'
which indicates clearly an official he
longing to the immediate and personal
surroundings of the pope and the right
of precedence over other clerics and
laymen.
.'The title Of domestic prelate' is one
OF the highest and most honorable the
holy see can confer on any cleric with

who was assassinated while engaged
on special service AT Palmero, Italy,
was made the occasion today for a
remarkable tribute TO the dead de-
teetiye. Twenty-Five policemen stood
in front of the Petrosino home and
30 detectives were on duty in the
yards and roofs of that and adjoin-
ing buildings. Four hundred and
fifty police were assigned to guard
the funeral procession.
The expectations of attempt to do
violence to the mourners or other
wise interfere with the funeral ar
rangements were based on letters
sent last week with the Black Hand
mark. Either the assassins gave up
their plans, if they had such, or were
prevented from executing them by
the vigilance which was brought to
bear by the police department. There
were hopes that members of the Or
ganization might be caught about the
funeral, but no arrests were made
The funeral was without other Incl
dent than the remarkable steps taken
in safeguarding it.

1t Is not expected a great many set
speeches will be made In the. senate.
Most of the discussion by the Demo-
Gratis will be upon the merits of

The general policy of Republican

no less than month will be required

the senate.
The house, while the senate is
wrestling with the tariff bill, Will

days. when the census bill. as passed
by the senate, will receive attention,

One hundred skilled mechanics left

be ready to handle ore in 30 days.
II will then get away with about
4 900 tons n day, increasing the ca
pacity of the concentrator to between
4.5OO and 5000 tons of ore daily.
The coming of the 100 men who
will arrive tonight is the beginning
of an influx of labor which will un-
doubtedly make the district exceed
ingly lively within the next few
months This additional labor will
find place at McGill. the mines and
out from East Ely on the new rail-
road construction and in all proba-
biliiy during the summer on the
ground for the new custom smelter
and possibly also for the Giroux
smelter.
The large amount of labor which
will be required in the railroad and
smelter undertakings must all be
brought in. This applies with equal
force 10 increased forces which will
be needed at MeGill and the mines,
for there are no surplus men In the
camp, all having opportunity TO work
if they desire TO do so. The increase
coming to the McGill pay rolls with
the arrival of the men due tonight
will probably be materially enlarged
before the week is out by demand
for men to take up the work of ex-
cavation and other preparatory steps
for the construction OF the fifth unit
of the concentrator. A little later
this job will make demand for a
large number of construction work
ers.
At the mines the operating forces
at Copper Flat and Veteran mines
have been growing steadily. At the
Giroux there has been rapid gain
this month in the number of men en-
ployed and there is every indication
that next month will find the prop
erty working big force. Over one
hundred are now on the pay roll.
