PAPAL POWER EXTENDED.
Cardinal Gasparri's Congregation
Can Now Name Most Bishops.

ROME, March 16 R.-The Pope
Yesterday conferred an extension of
powers on Cardinal Gasparri papal
secretary of state, by granting to the
congregation for extraordinary eccle-

Ga-parri presideS, the duty of naming
bishops in all countries, where it is

the authorities in regard to possible
political objections to the appoint

will be necessary for all these bishops
TO conform strictly to the political
policies of the papal secretary of state

Discovery of Silver and Platinum
Stirs Northwest Territory.

EDMONTON, Alaska, March 16
V)::--Reports of a promising silver
strike near Fort McMurray and of
platinum in the vicinity of Fort
Smith are causing many old.time
trappers scattered throughout the
Northwest territory to abandon their
trap lines and make their way to the
scenes of the supposed hidden wealth.
The trek to both the centers has
been more in the form of steady
movement than a rush, but with the
breakup of Winter a great increase
in the number of prospectors is ex.
pected. Fort McMurray and Fort
Smith are approximately 250 miles
northwest of here.

ported today, District Health Officer

Washington is in the midst of an

set in. Medical attention is urged

time the facts and corroborative ma
