 LONDON.

 The submarine immediately disap- peared, leaving behind a consider able quantity of oil on the surface of the ocean. British naval experts are of the opinion that there was no possibility of the submarine es- caping, as such an injury would necessarily result in the immediate sinking of the diver.
 Immediately after Captain Rice made his report the American con- sul forwarded an official report of the matter to the state department, and the captain will make an addi- tional report of the circumstances to American naval officials

REV. CRINIONT MADE BISHOP
 BY THE. POPE

Although no official information re- garding the appointment is available, it is understood that Rev Father R. J. CrimOnt has been made a bishop of the Roman Catholic church by Pope Benedict and that Alaska has been created a yiCariate The fact that the territory has been made a vicariate is stated in an ecclesias- tiCal magazine received few days ago by Rev Father Monroe. and the inference that Father Crimont has of bishop, is gathered from a mes- sage received here on April II by Father Monroe from Father Crimont relative to design for a coat of arms for the incumbent of such a position, although stating nothing definite regarding the appointment.
 Alaska has formerly been what is known in ecclesiastical circles as prefecture apostolic with Father Crimont as it's head or prefect. The advancement of the territory to a vicariate and the consequent ad- vancement of Father Crimont to bishop, means that the pope has taken official notice of the work be- ing done in Alaska.
 Father Crimont's headquarte will continue to be at Juneau, from which place he will journey each year to churches in outlying districts.

NEW YORK. Apr 25-In the first annual report of the Kennecott Cop per Corporation, issued al the gen eral offices here today, covering the operations of 1916, if is shown that the surplus earnings of this com pany for the one year were we'll over $27,S0O,000, or approximately $1O per share The balance sheet shows total working assets of more than $l9000. .000, while current liabilities are only slightly over $1,700,000 leaving an undivided profit accru- ing to the corporation of nearly $l9o00,00o.
 While the profits of this company were known to be very large, the statement issued today surprised even those who have been watch ing it's operations closely The ton mage of 1916 was largely increased over that of any previous year, but this is a secondary factor in the enormous profit, as the greatly in creased price of copper is said to be the main cause.

 Sorrow and joy were strangely com mingled in the happening of birth and death at practically the same time in the Erickson family. The son was born early in the afternoon of one day, and at o'clock that evening the little girl was taken to the hospital. The next night she died. Therefore but thirty-siX hours elapsed between the time of the birth and death.
 Music of an appropriate and beau tiful nature was rendered at the funeral service yesterday by the members of the Presbyterian choir.
