DIPLOMATS ACTIVITY
CAUSES CONCERN

st. Petersburg, July 6-(special)-The
activity of Russian. Japanese and German
diplomacy in arriving at a satisfactory
entente is causing very grave concern in
other quarters. The conference between
the Car and Kaiser William is to be
followed by a visit on the part of Prince
Katsura from Toxic, and this visit, taken
in conjunction with report from London
that Sir Edward Grey is bitterly incensed
at Russa's seeming assent to anti-Brit-
ish feeling in Mohammedan China and
upper India and the rumor that Japan
contemplates terminating her alliance
with Britain. is regarded here as grave
w significant. The conferences seem to
have a bearing upon American interests
in the far east, judging from the admis-
sion on the part of the Russian foreign
office that Russia and Japan will stand
together In insistence upon predomnance
in any commercial or Industrial arrange
nent affecting north China which the
Chinese republic undertook either with
American or European participants"

POPE WILL MAKE
SOME CONTRASTS
Pope Plus X to Make Them
in a Forthcoming
Encyclical

Pope Plus Y. will issue in connection
with the Constantine celebration. an inn
portant encyclieal on the present prog
ress of the Catholic church, and on
courses which, in some countries, retard
that progress. The celebration is that
of the end of sixteen hundred years
since the defeat of the heather leader
and the recognition In hnal and COM
plete terms of Christianity as a religious
and political power In Rome The event
marlxetlsthe liberty of the church to work
without hindranVe for its own advance
ment.
The letter Of the present Pope will be
addressed to the Catholics of the world,
but will be of interest in largest measure
to Catholics of England and America.
1t will contain facts. so reports from the
Evatican say, showing the lack of progress
of the church in countries controlled by
Latin races, notably in France. Portugal,
and in some sense in Italy and Austria,
and the tremendous progress made In
countries controlled by Anglo Saxon and
German races. The countries named
wherein Catholic progress is great are
those directed in political affairs by Pro-
testants and where religious liberty has
been longest in force.
Mention will ba made of the growth
of Catholic education in America as
shown by the Catholic university in
Washington, and the national orsaniza-
ton of secondary schools closely related
TO the university. and In England by the
abolition of the anti-Catnolic formula In
the coronation oath. Mention will also
be made, it is reported, of the wonder
full progress made in Paris under Cardi-
nal Annette since the freedom of the
Catholic church from political and gov
ernmental control was secured. Cath
olics of all countries will be urged once
mere to fight for the faith that won rec
ognition in final form at the Maximus
bridge The celebration takes place next

Gilman was asked what he thought
OF Schreiter's second confession, but
he. refused TO express himself.
One explanation given for Schreit-

Tuesday was that Schreiter conclud-
ed that he was to be made the goat"
by the aldermen, that they would at
tempt to saddle the blame on him.
Eddie" concluded that he would get
from under" early by turning states
evidence, and in so doing he again
proved the assertion of Detective
Burns that Schreiter is ''the cleverest
one in the bunch"
All of the aldermen arraigned
Tuesday were vehement in denying
any connection with the Wabash
deal. 1t Is the general impression
that the cases against Aid. Ellis and
Watson are weak as they have en-
ioyed unblemished regulations in
their private and public life All the
aldermen denied that they had talk
cd with Schreiter about accepting
any return for their votes. Lynch
was the only one who would admit
that Detective Brennon talked with
him about a bride, repeating his
story that Brennon pleaded with him
to take "a little money as a favor, ("
