The pope ha told CarOlnal Gottl thnt
in the future nominations of American
blchops shall not be made by the C'orgroga
tlon of tho Propaganda, but ahull be re
served to hlTaelf. Thl change was brought
bout by th recent lection of Rev. James
J. Hartley as bishop of Columbus, O.
Many of his colleagues had been at work
oppjilng his candidacy, and even after his
name was chcaen they continued to write
to Rome agilnst his election. Plus X was
Informed of the opposition and prevented

The mlbalon to the negroea tn America
have also attracted the popes attention
alr.ca hla reception of Rev. Father Burke
of New Tcrk, and more priests will he as
airbed to this work In the near future.
Th many complaints from American
bishops regarding tho alow work of th
propaganda and (he long dslay In l:n
portant affairs, before a decision
reached, have prompted the pope to op
point a special commission to study
plan by which a certain amount of hide
pendenco may be granted to the church In
America as well as In Australia, the con
dltlons of which have been submitted to
th pop by Cardinal Moren. The pope
has expressed a strong desire to meet a
many of th American bishops as passl
War but It I Inexact to say that som
racial member cf th American hierar
chy hav bean summoned to Rome. Next
spring and summer many of the American
bishop will come here In order to becom
personally acquainted with the new head o
th church and submit to him their opln
Ions, In order that he may have n clear
Idea, of what is best to be done for the
welfare of th American part of tne church.
Until than, however, it Is probable that
notblr-g will be don regarding tho mak
i Ing of lh American church more Inde
pendent from the propaganda unless it be
th distribution cf pending business among
other Roman congregations. A plan sug
gested has been that of nominating an
American prl-r.ate who Khali have a certain
amount of Jurisdiction over the other btsh
era und would tius'b able to settle many
points of dispute, but such a plan has
mot Vlth objections from several of the
American bishops because It would Imp'y
greater dependence upon tho propaganda

LONDON. Jan. 2. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) King Ed
ward' morked preference for the company
of American women is evidenced by the
fact that four out of the eleven ladles In
the duke and duchess of Devonshire's
Chatsworth house party, arranged for
him, are Americans Mrs. Arthur Paget,
the countess of Essex, Consuelo, dowagr
duches of Manchester, and Miss Yxnaga.
Tho king now wants everything used by
him at any house he visits to be brand
riew, never used by any one before. This
order extends from bed linen to table
cutlery.
Owing to the premature disclosure of the,
topical burleaque arranged by Leo Trevor
for the Chatsworth party, the whole piece
has been changed, and a new one Is being
rehearsed for the theatrical entertainment
next Monday evening.
High society haa been aatounded to
learn that the king and queen will witness
tho Chatsworth private theatricals, in which
Miss Muriel .Wilson la to play a leading
role. Tho queen does not approve of
Muriel Wilson, especially on the stage,
where her startling costumes and daring
attitudes are copied from the French thea
ter. Last year, when th royal visit to
the Devonshire waa given up at the last
moment under sensational circumstances,
It Waa understood that the reason was
that the queen did not know until the day
befor that Muriel Wilson was to appear
In th theatrical and that she then re
fused to go. But th queen never
holds out long against th king's
friends, although it is said that this
affair has borne a strong resemblance to
the one year ago when the queen was
forced to re calve Mr. Langtry,
Mr. Emily Ladenberg ha taken a
charming place at Melton Mowbray for
the winter. Tho house is one whloh once
belonged to Foxhall Keen. She means
to hav a thoroughly good time, going in
for hunting - and all th other delights
of a sporting neighborhood. Having about
000 a-year,' she intends to entertain a
good deal this winter,
Mrs. Frank J. Mackny has been '-staying
with Mr. Ladenberg lately. 'Eh thinks
of going with Mrs. "Arthur Paget to Amer

Included Mrs. Ronalds, her daughter, Mrs.

brothers Who married American wives
were present. Another brother. Captain
Alfred, has been the British naval at
tache at Paris for many ' years. Captain
George and Captain Gerald are In the

Paget lives abroad.'
Lady Colebrook (Lady Alexander Harriet
Paget), had a unique Chris Unas dinner
party, at which for the first time In twenty
years all her brother (the Pagats), met
under the same roof.- Between their army
navy and diplomat services, they have
been long scattered arounu the world. Lady
Colebrook gave each a little diamond horse
shoe In commemoration of the occasion.
General and Mrs. Keevea are In town, to
remain some weeks, seeing everything.
They will then go for a tour lasting the
rest of the winter, cither to Cairo, to Al
glers, or to the touth of France.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Power are stay

obliged to keep a suite of rooms at the

regulation, they could not bring across

sonalUlcs is that of pretty Viscountess
Vanden Brule. She Is he daughter of
the chief Burgeon of the Greek army, who
organised the company of Greek volunteers
who fought for France In 1S70.
King Oeorge la a grewl admirer of beauty.
An anecdote Is told of him apropos of
hla penchant. One of his subjects, with
whom he Is on familiar terms, who Is a
fervent crchaeologlst, has an uncommonly
pretty wife. It happened that he waa di
recting an excavation one day, In search
of a buried Venus. King George passed
by, and noticing the pretty wife sharing
the labors of her husbnnd. Inquired of the
Interested archaeologist:
But where,, my friend, did you find this
present Venus?" indicating the lady.
The king Is extravagantly fond of ani
mals. After the death of his daughter
Alexandria he cherlrhed her griffon as If
it were a child. Everyone In the palace
had order to show the dog the greatest
consideration. But the griffon died, and
inco that time no one ever speaks of dogs
before the king, so keen waa his grief for
the loss of his griffon.
The king Is not fond of French cooking.
like the empress dowager of China. He
prefers to eat his dishes dry, without an
elaboration of courses. He prepares him
self a dish that Is called the "salad of
King George," (anlataton pasilens glor
gosl). It is composed of potatoes nnd on
ions and is very highly sensoned. When
In Paris King George dresses as a clvlllar,
but In Athens he frequently dons the unl;
form of an officer of the marines, not th
one nt present In vogue, but the old uni
form he wore aa a lieutenant.
The king's first act on rising in Paris,
and he is up at 7,- is tn send for soma
flowers. He cohaoles himself thus for the
bsence of his beloved Grecian Rowers,
whose brilliant colors, he says, "warm hi
heart."

fied with railroading In Nebraska aa gen
eral manager of tha Fremont & Elkhorn
road from 1888 to 1896. The principal
achievement!) under his administration of
the Union Pacific have, therefore, been In
the engineering line, large sums of monay
having been expended In shortening the
dlatance. Improving the road bed, remodel
ling the shops ami equipment and reor
ganising the service generally.
Improvement I'nder Burt.
Horace G. Burt leaves behind him an en
during monument of hi service as admin
iatrutivo head of, tit Union Pacific. ' H
came )nto the service of the company at i
time when It was both physlcull and finan
cially down. To him was assigned the
task of reorganizing the operative Corps of
the . company and to rejuvenate It phys
ically. ' During the five year of his serv
ico he has practically rebuilt the' system.
From Omaha to Ogdcn he has recon
structed (ho track, hue rebuilt depots, haa
enlarged and Improved shops, has replaced
the equipment, removing obsolete types und
substituting the most Improved, and ha in
every way conceivable brought up th-j
physical uffulrs of the great Overland sys
tem until it now takes rank with the best
constructed and operated lines In the world.
His task has been carried out In full 'and
in detail and he leaves the road lit the
best condition it ever knew and enjoying u
prosperity that is limited only by Its car
rying capacity.
Question of (Successor.
The announcement of Mr. Burt's reslgna
tlon naturally causes Inquiry as to tha
probable succeaeor, but thoso at the head
quarter who might be able to talk are re
licent. Mr. Burt, will remain In charge
Until his succertor is selected and ready to
relieve him, although it ls'porlbe tem
porary arrangements, may be made until a
regularly elected president 1 installed. The
possibility Is ulno broached that Mr. Burt
may be Induced to withdraw his resignation
and continue aa president.
. Not many local railroad men Incline to
the theory that Edward Dickinson, second
vice president and general manager of th
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient, and for
merly general manager of the Union Pa
cific, will become Mr. Hurt's successor, for
the reason that he has a financial interest
in tha Stlllwell company. It Is argued by
some railroad men that Mr. Harrlman will
endeavor to get a recognized distinct
"Harrlman man" for the place and that in
thla event the election will He between
President Feltons Mr. Van Brunt and Mr.
gtubbs.
"I believe It Is Harrlman'a determination
to place the Southern Pacific man in the
ascendency in the Southern Pacific-Union
Pacific union," said one official of a local
office yesterday, "and this bring the case
he could not decide on a stronger man than
J. C. Etuhb. Mr. Felton Is a strong Harrl
mun man and a good railroad man. I
would not be surprised to see him selected
Then there is Mr. Van Brunt, formerly of
St. Joseph, of whom Harrlman thinks
great deal. He is very close to Harrlman,
He It was who bought the St. Joseph ttreet
railway up for ll.OO0.0O0 of Mr. Harrlman'
money and dumped It off onto the Sellg-
mans for t3,0O0,0CO. Some people think he
established himself pretty well In the estl
matlon of Mr. Harrlman by hat act."
Odell la Talked Of.
Another railroad official thinks the reslg
nation of President burt will revive the
talk of Governor Odell for the presidency o
th Union Pacific. Thia talk waa very
general last year and really never haa died
out entirely.
"If the president Is to be a financial
managar, then look out for Odell," aaid thl
official. He will ha-e his headquarters In
i New York and direct things from there. In
that event, or any other for that matter,
look for the appointment of a general
manager for the Union Pacific as It had be
fore Dickinson left it and a second and
third vice president who shall b operating
men."
The new of Mr. Burt's resignation came
a no general eurprise among local railroad
men.
"So it la out, la it?" auld a railroad ma
not ctnn cled with th Union Pacific. "It
ha been whl pered around among us for
at out ten day that Burt had another dls
ogi cement with Harrlman an had followed
.'t up with bis resignation. The fact that

will take down copies of all matter In the

sulted had Summers been able to carry out
his design.

this carelessness. A few carpenters and
tage liahds have been arrested. Women
who sunt Irt the chorus ore in Jail. Suctt
an Investigation I a cruel mockery. The
men who are ri sponsible are allowed to
walk the streets untouched, while a few
laborers are punished. This ha been th
greatest calamity In the city's history, and
th authorities must understand that tho
who have suffered will not Walt for. them
to dally along. There must be no politic
or favoritism In this Investigation."

Mayor Close All Theater.
Mayor Harrison today ordered the clos
ing of every theater In Chicago without
exception until it has been definitely racer-
talned that they are not violating any
oity ordinances. Thla Is supplementary t
the mayor' order of last night, which
closed seventeen theater, about half th
total number of playhouae fn th city.
In Issuing the order for every playhouse
In Chicago to be closed, the mayor ma-la
tho unqualified statement that they wers
II violator of the city ordinance and that
none would be permitted to open It door
again until . It absolutely complied with
very requirement of the ordinance.
In conference today with Corporation
Counsel Tlman. the mayor found legal
grounds for this action.
During most of Ihe day the mayor hue
been busy studying the reports of ihi
building commissioners about precautions
agalnat fire at th various theaters. Th
closing of seventeen houses lust night be
cause of the absence of asbestos curtains
It wss thought would be followed by fur
ther restriction.
Managers who visited the mayor' office
to have modification nt the ordr were re
pulsed. From' the discussion relative t'i
curtain ram th conclusion to cio.-e th
theater wholesale.
Tha mayor' Inquiries led him to consult -not
only the legal department, but KI-
Chief Musham and Building Inspect r Wll- '

, He told the head of department that
he would not hav It ald that a mayor
of th city he had left anything undone t-a

ror. If all theaters were closed until Ch'
cago'a building -law la revised by expert.,
he aaid, the good that uch action may do '
will never b discounted. .
